A HUMAN FREAK.

The manager of the Crystal the
ater has secured a big special show.
Captain Doss, probably one of the
most noted freaks in the world, has
been engaged for Thursday and Fri
day of this week, March IA and Is,
and will very likely draw some of the
largest crowds of the season. He is
the only man in existence who can
increase his height two feet in as
many minutes. This seems impossi-
BILE, but while on the stage he will
have committee from the audience
surround him and see that everything
is done as represented. Doss. who
in ordinary life is a stalwart person
of six feet three inches, has such
control over his vertebrae that in
plain view of the audience he elon-
gates his physique to the towering
height of eight feet three inches, a
veritable giant.
Not only does he do this but he
increases the length of his arms one
foot. In connection with the per-
formance an illustrated lecture will
be given on the worlds human
freaks and special picked program
of motion pictures will be put on.

FINANCING
RIO GRANDE

That the re-financing of the Den
yer & Rio Grande railroad is to be
consummated as speedily as possible
is indicated by the announcement
which reached Denver from New
York yesterday that the directors of
the road have decided to pay inter-
est on the bonds at the rate of Z
per cent. The action of the direc-
tors establishes a precedent in the
financial world. Heretofore the high
est interest rate paid by railroads on
their bonds has been per cent.
OF the bond issue of S25. 900. 900
authorized last week, only 100000
600 will be placed on the market at
this time. This amount. it is be-
lieved, will enable the Rio Grande
to carry out all improvements plan
ned for Colorado and Utah this
year.
The action of the Rio Grande is
considered wise as per cent bonds
will appeal to the investor more than
the average railroad bond BY of
fering the high rate of interest the
Rio Grande expects to find a ready
market for its bonds and also to sell
them at or little below par.

TEACHERS SAY EXAM|NA. .
T|oNS ARE A CRIME

During the second day of the
teachers institute being held at
Missoula this week the matter of
present day examinations in all
grades, including the higher
branches, was under discussion.
The present methods were
branded as a crime against school
children and students from the
grades through the higher insti-
tutions. They were called frauds
that caused the pupils to resort
to cheating and stealing. They
were declared a waste of time
and energy. The topic was open
for discussion at one of the Sec
tions and it was generally agreed
that examinations, especially in
the eighth grade and advanced
grades, should be abolished. The
questions that have been used in
past examinations weres severely
criticised as being unfit and mis-
leading.

the case of the Pioneer, which
has not as yet received any
money or information to the ef-

DIVISION OF SCHOOL
DISTRICT NOT LIKELY

DR.. Resner, D. N. Mason, Geo.
H. Beckwith and Leon L. Long
of the school trustees, made a
trip to the southern portion of
the district the latter part of last
week to attend to matters of inn
portance there. A petition had
been signed by number of the
residents in that section asking
for a division of Arlee district,
claiming they were not being
treated fairly by the present
board and with such a large dis
trict. 1t seems they thought
themselves entitled to more
schools than they have and
charged the board with provid-
other sections with school houses
and not them. When they found
that every other country school
in the district was built by pop
ular subscription and that the
board of trustees had not paid
any money toward building
school houses, it changed the SEN
timent and many of those who
had signed the petition asking
for a division also signed a pc
tition against it.
With this situation cleared up
and a promise that a teacher
will be provided when a building
is ready, most all were satisfied
and no division is expected at
this time.

Northern Pacific away from the
district up this way would SER

MUCH FRUIT UP LOL0
WAY IN BITTER ROOT

While in Missoula last week,
the writer was inveigled into TAX
ing an auto ride up the Bitter
Root by Dan McQuarrie and
Davis Graham. Those two fish
eaters had a notion they were
able to catch trout and gave an
invitation to accomaany them.
The ride was splendid, Dan be-
ing an expert chauffuer, and his
car was in fine condition and the
run up and back was made in
short order. This is made DOS
sible by reason of the excellent
condition of the country roads
up toward Lolo and it is just like
riding on pavement at
this time of the year. The
material for good road making is
right at hand and the commits
sioners have taken advantage of
the fact and made some good
roads.
After reaching the ranch of
VIM. Rock a stop was made and
preparations entered into to de-
ceive any trout that might be
found in the streams flowing in
to the Bitter Root. They crawled
through the brush and waded
the creeks but nary trout.
Said they were not biting that
day, but north wind told the
tale to an old timer and one who
can catch fish. Along about sun
down Dan did snag one which
he could see in the shallow
water, and it was certainly
asleep else he would never have
been able to do so. That was
the catch of the day, so far as
fish were concerned, but the
fruit at Mr.. Rocks place made
up for the loss otherwise.
He has bushels of cherries on
the trees, a like quantity of fine
blackberries, which will never be
picked, and we all turned in and
ate all we could. Mr.. Rock says
he located on his present ranch
about sixteen years ago and with. /
out a dollar at that time, has
made one of the best farms in
Western Montana. He has fine
home, large barn and other out
buildings, and with his 80 head

10 equally as well, but it is his

this ranch and observing
lis operations.

one, the next time
