NEWS OF MONTANA
Important Happenings Of the
Week Briefly Told.
BURNT TWIG FOUND.
Chance Discovery Gives Proof Of Fire
In Forest TIA Years Ago.

Bozeman.-The burnt end of twig
embedded in several inches of sound
growth of timber is on display in the
office of the Gallatin National Forest,
which proves that there was fire in
the forest ia years ago. That was
five years before the Lewis and Clarke
expedition, and authentic documents
on Montana history for that period are
rare. This record was picked up by
accident near the Flanders saw mill,
and is bit of a sawed slab. When 1t
was being cut short for tirewood, the
burnt end Of the twig was noticed in
the wood. The sawed end was sand
papered down, and it shows clearly
that small branch, about an inch
and half from the surface of the tree,
had been burned off, but the surface
of the tree had not been injured. The
tree continued to grow, and gradually
reached the end of the twig, and
closed around it perfectly. Then
about two inches more grew outside
the charred end, and left the record
safe until chance disclosed it.
The rings of wood are microscopic
ally thin, but the officers have counted
them with microscope, and find that
from the time when the twig ceased
to grow and the wood began to close
around it, ia years elapsed, until the
tree was killed. The fire may have
been caused by lightning, or the twig
may have been burned off by Indians
with some camp fire before the first
white man had disturbed their noun
tain solitudes. The exact point from
which this tree came is not known.

Montana Marshal Slain.

Columbus. An inquest over the
body of Charles Dawson, town mar
shall, who was shot by Homer Porter
has been held by Judge Mann of Bill
ings, acting coroner. Porter had
Grated a disturbance at a disorderly
house, after which he went to his
home and procured a revolver. He
exhibited the weapon in one or two
saloons and, it is stated, made open
threats. Stepping in front of livery
stable he fired a shot or two in the
air. The marshal was attracted by
the shot and when he attempted to
place Porter under arrest the shoot
ing began. Both men fired simultane.
ously. Porters first shot went
through the officers stomach and
struck the spinal column, but before
he fell Dawson shot four bullets
through Porter's limbs.

tofore was known, but provision was
made for the cognition of "real' Pro-
gressives in any of the states of what.
ever name they should be locally
designated because of the state laws.
The convention adjourned at 1924
p. m. with the delegates singing the
Doxology.
During the three days it was in ses-
sion there was not a single roll call,
nor ballot taken. The delegates
asked no such formalities either in
placing their candidates in nomination
or in voting for them. There was not
voice in opposition either to Colonel
Roosevelt or Governor Johnson. The
delay in nominating them was due to
the large number of seconding
speeches allowed.
AS has always been the case in ma
tional political conventions, the bulk
of the work of the Progressive gather
Ing was carried on in the committees
The only semblance of a conflict of
opinion on the floor was brief debate
as to whether or not an hours recess
should De taken.
| The point was not material, but, as
bne delegate expressed it, I'VE just
had to fight about something to make
a regular convention"
There was sharp discussion. how
ever, in several of the committee meet
ngs and no little difficulty in agreeing
npon the platform as finally adopted.
Colonel Roosevelt worked with the
subcommittee in charge of the plat
form, going over their work and Wig
arously helping to mould the draft
which at last proved acceptable to
tim. The platform did not take up
the negro question.
In this connection, one of the inter-
nsting seconding speeches of the day
was that of F. R. Gleed of New York,
& negro. Gleed declared that the
negroes had faith in the new party,

For several long hours during the
afternoon and early evening the big
throng in the Coliseum had listened to
a flow of oratory in nominating and
seconding speeches in which the DOM
inant note expressed was the belief
that victory would come to the new
party in the November elections.
Raymond Robbins of Illinois pledged

The agricultural districts Of Canada

of a country that will soon rank

Canada Has Sufficient
Coal for 5000 Years
1t Has Enough Agricultural Lane FOR the Set
thing of Millions.

A report dealing with the coal re-
sources of Canada has been issued by
the Dominion Department Of Mines.
The estimates given are only based on
what is known. In the western and
northern regions, which have been
little explored, there may be vast de-
posits Of which nothing whatever Is
Known at present. The officials Of the
department estimate that Of btu
minous coal there is in Canada 1914
billion tons; Of anthracite 461 mill
lion tons; sub.bituminous and Ignite
over 100 billion tons. The quantity
Of coal now annually mined in Canada
is about IL million tons. With an es-
timated quantity Of unmixed good coal,
of "A billion tons, It would require
6,166 years to exhaust the supply. II
the inferior grades were included, sup
ply would last for 14,575 years. OF
course the coal demands Of Canada
will keep on increasing, but 1t will be
a good many years before the quantity
of Canadian coal mined will equal
present output Of the United States
mines. Their annual output is about
500,000,0O0 tons. At that rate 1t
would take only 145 years to exhaust
the estimated Canadian supply Of
good coal, and about $50 years to get
to the end of the total supply. And

up of about four hundred thousand per-
sons year (and it looks now as If this
number would be reached this year,,

REMEDIES FOR
RHEUMATISM
Are Many but the Important Thing
/, to Enrich the Blood and
Cleanse the System Of
Rheumatic Poison.

There are many remedies for fheu.
matism. Most of them are considered
successful if they relieve the pain and
stiffness. That means a temporary
suppression of the symptoms while the
disease remains in the blood to appear
again on the next rainy day.
Mrs. J. W. Rapp, Of R. F. D. No. l,
South Omaha, Neb., says: 'tseveral
years ago I was sufferer from rheuma-
tism which followed general rundown
condition and exposure to wet aod
da,npness. The pains started in my
hands, which had a sort of pricking sem
sation like needles were being thrust in
to them. As the disease grew worse the
joints Of my fingers became affected:
They were swollen and were 60 painful
that could hardly bear it. Gradually
the disease began to affect my limbs in
the same manner. They became ter
Ebly swollen and I had to give up my
work. The pains then spread all over
my body and were sharp and shooting.
They would suddenly shift from one
part of the body to another but fortu-
hately did not seem to affect my heart.
For three months was propped up in
chair and had to be waited on. I
could not get any sleep and was losing
flesh all of the time. The doctor treated
me long time but did not give much
relief as the pains were as severe as ever

is heavily matted with grass. mixed
with vetches and pea vines, nearly up
to the knee, and many millions Of

when we consider the estimated
crop Of 300,000,00O bushels Of wheat
for 1912, to be produced on these, west

some faint idea can be formed by an
imaginative mind as to the immense
