Great Northern Railway Bridg,
Catches Fire

There was quite a little excite
ment in town last Saturday about
noon when it was discovered that
the Great Northern Railway brid ge
over Milk River was OH fire. The
timbers of the approach to the
bridge had caught fire by sparks
from the engine of No. /, and as a
strong wind was blowing, the fire
gained headway rapidly and threat
ened the destruction of the entire
bridge. However, bucket fire brig
ade was formed by men who had hur-
ried to the scene of the fire. Water
was brought from Milk river and at
ter an hours hard work the bridge
was saved with some injnry to a
number of timbers on the west side.

E. E. Crofut, Author
Writes Book On Hair Chain Braidine

Malta's jeweler, E. i. Crofut is
the author of a forty-four page book
entitled "The Art OF Hair Chain
Braiding," self taught. Months ago
Mr.. Crofut conceived the idea Of
placing his knowledge Of this i'm
pOrtant subject in book form and
commenced the rather laborious task
of preparing the manuscript. A
copy of the book itself is the best
evidence of how admirably he has
succeeded.
The pages Of the book are five by
seven inches, containing comprehen-
sive information as to the art, and
explicit directions for making the
chains, and each step OF the pro-
| cess of hair chain braiding is so
lucidly set forth in the instructions
that amy one who can read can mas
ter the art Of making these beautiful
chains. There are eight illustrations
in the book and these were printed
from cuts made from original draw
ings. (the work of the author) of the
equipment used in making the
chains, sections OF the chains, and
the completed chains themselves.
TO familiarlze the public with the
nature of the contents of the book we
will quote from the preface where
the author states that "This is the
first edition of this work, and is the
first and only book, of which the au-
thor has any knowledge, which il
Illustrates and describes modern
methods of hair chain braiding.
patient study, constant practice
and ambition are requisite to be-
come proficient in any art. The de-
mand for watch chains made of
ladies hair is constantly increasing,
and a person wishing to thoroughly
master amy art. must be to a certain
extent capable of. self instruction.
This edition is written up in such
plain language that it is the firm be-
lief OF the author that any one with
ordinary Intelligence can master the
art without much difficulty.
"Many persons would have hair
chains braided as presents for their
relatives and-friends, if they only
knew how. Others would follow it
for money making, and as good wag-
es can be demanded for this kind of
work as for any other kind OF skilled
labor.
"And the author believes that any
one interested in this kind of work
will welcome this little volume.''
Mr.. Crofut has applied for a copy
right and as soon as lie receives it,
the books, which have been printed
and bound by The Malta Enterprise
Publishing Company, will be placed
on the market. Get copy of the
book and learn how to make these
handsome watch chains and fobs,
The price is only so cents.

The real pongee cloth, made Of this
uncolorcd specially produced silk is
distinct from the pongees Of com.
merce made In all colors from other
silk. Each piece Of cloth is made
from a particular lot of silk, and,
therefore each piece varies from all
other pieces in exact quality. weight
and iineness and in a slight degree
in color and ether qualities
There are certain general grades of

possible to furnish any great number

of garments from that particular

rangements could be made for the
standardizing of a certain amount Of
the cloth, but it could be had only by
such an arrangement.
The primary market for pongee is
in Shantung province. where it is pro-
duced, and most of the exports go out
through Chefoo and Kiaochau. About
ten per cent. of the product goes di-

and about fifteen per cent. to Hong
kong for further distribution, some
of which goes to the United States.
In buying and selling silk goods in
China the standard is the piece, the
price of piece resting primarily upon
it's weight. Pongees in Hongkong,
for example, are sold by the piece,
no matter how much silk of any par
ticular standard is taken, and billed

are packed in tin-lined cases and are

REALLY WONDERFUL LAWYER.

There was a prosecuting attorney
in Texas whose methods were so
dramatic and uniformly successful
that he not only became the terror OF
evildoers, but an object of admira-
ton, especially among the negroes.
Upon retirement from office he
was at once sought after by those
charged with crime. The first two
cases which he defended resulted in
conviction, much to his chagrin.
An old negro who had watched his
prosecution in admiring wonder and
looked on with equal interest when
he conducted the defense, accosted
him just after his defeat and said
