Scarlet Fever at Roundup

BY order of the Board of Health
the schools of the city were closed
for one week, in order to prevent
the spreading of the contagion.
While at present there are but
two families affected with scarlet
fever, it would appear that a pret-
ty general exposition had occurred
before the matter was taken in
hand and the infected houses
placed in quarantine. BY obser-
vance of the law regulating the
care of such diseases the public
will be protected and no danger
be connected with the re-openine
and resumption of affairs neces

In Conrad there was sharp
contest for alderman and the re
form element won.
In Shelby the result was the
other way, F. A. Sullivan being
elected mayor over j. A. johnson.
Shelby also voted against a pro
position to bond the town for fifty
thousand dollars for water works.
Malta and Havre elected only
aldermen and the contests were
personal.

HOME OF GIANT TURTLES.
Most Remarkable Islands In the Pacific
Are the Galapagos.

The Galapagos islands owe their
name to the galapago, or giant tur-
tie, which produced a great impress
sion on the Spanish discoveries Of
the islands in the sixteenth century.
There are at least seven species Of
this turtle, each one keeping strict
ly to a different island and holding
little communication with it's neigh
bors. The islands have been used
by Ecuador as penal settlement
for political offenders, who are
rather numerous in Ecuador, the
climate making them less unpleas-
ant place of confinement than many
of the regions under the equator.
They are the most remarkab Bile
group of islands in the Pacific. Dar-
win in his "Voyage of the Beagle"
tells us how he found vast num-
ber of plants and animals which
exist nowhere else in the world.
One side of the islands-the south
ern side-is paradise of luxuri-
ance, the other side scorched with
lava and sterile.
This wonderful island world
filled the mind of Darwin with awe.
"Here," he said, referring to the
amazing number of aboriginal ami
mails, eve seem to be brought some
what near to that great fact that
mystery of mysteries, the first ap-
pearance Of new beings on the
earth" The great land tortoise
was so plentiful at the time of Dar-
wins visit that well beaten paths
had been made throughout the is
lands by the reptiles on their way to
the springs of the interior. Darwin
tells us how he would sometimes
ride on the backs of the creatures,
like another De Rougemont, but
the progress of the swiftest was not
more than four miles a day. The
oldest thing about the tortoise is
the ease with which it adapts itself
to its particular island. Where
there is no water it does without; !;
where water is to be had it wallows
in it, storing it up in its body in
vast quantities.-London Chronicle.

FIEND TRIES
TO START FIRE
Had the Plot Carried Through Har-
lowton Would Have Suffered
Severe Losses

Sometime between the hours OF
one and six o'clock Wednesday
morning some fiend tried to set
fire to the Antler saloon and, had
the attempt been successful, half
OF our business district would have
been gone but fortune seemed to
prevail and thwart the fire bugs
desire.
The back of the building was
covered with oil about half way
up and pile of kindling placed
by the sill and directly under the
screen door which was opened far
enough to be over the blaze but
there had been a snow and the
water from off the roof had soaked
the boards so that the oil burded
off and the only damage done was
some charred boards.
