Miners SEEKING
BURIED TREASURE
ClIforllans Try to Locate
Source Of First Montana
Gold Discovery

HELENA, Mont, Nov. 11.-An eff.
tort is being made to find the source
OF the first placer gold discovery in
Montana. This is the old Alder Gulch
district. II the plans under way turn
out as expected Alder Gulch, under
the mountains adjacent to the gulch,
will be uncovered and may prove as
rich as the old diggings.
w. G. McCubbin of California. who
has undertaken to find the source of
the Alder Gulch gold, has arrived in
Virginia City. and Is making prepare.
lions to start work drilling and tun-
neling the hill east Of the town. Last
June Mr.. McClbbin made a very thor
0ugh inspection OF the locality and
had surveys made. From the nature
Of the gravel he believes the original
bed OF the Alder gulch can again be
opened up. He has filed placer claims
on approximately 1000 acres OF
ground east Of Virginia City, and in
addition he has taken options on

aIn addition to the drilling, a tunnel

Will ORGANIZE
400 farm Clubs
Campaign Proposed
BV North Dakota Better
Farming Association

FARGO, N. D., Nov. 1.-THE first
comprehensive description of farmers
clubs, their work and their organiza-
ton, to be published in the United
States, has just been issued in bulle-
tin form by the North Dakota Better
Earring association. The publication
IS the first step in a general campaign
to be conducted this winter for the
organization of at least 400 farmers
clubs in this state. The campaign
will be conducted his winter for the
organization Of at least 400 farmers
clubs in this state. The campaign
will be conducted by the association
under the direction of Secretary
Cooper and the clubs will receive the
assistance of the association.
There has been great interest
among farmers in the plans proposed
for farmers clubs" said Secretary
Cooper. The men on the farms Of
this state are beginning to feel the
need of some form of organization,
where they can come together and
arouse concerted action. The farm
ers' clubs will supply the same need
in country life that the Commercial
club supplies in the life Of the city.
There are now several farmers
clubs in the state which are alive and
doing excellent work for the COM
munities in which they are located.
This winter we propose to have at
least 400 mora such clubs organized.
The field men of the association have
been instructed in the work and they
will not only arouse interest in the
work but they will assist in the organ.

Among the most successful farm
ers' clubs in the state now should be
named the Niagara Shawnee club of
Grand Forks county. This club re.

SPRING STYLES ALREADY OUT
Becoming Design in New Linen and
Lingerie Dresses for the
Young Girl.

The new linen and lingerie dresses
for little girls are exceptionally at
tractive. The Russian style prevails
and more color than usual is allowed
-colored embroidery where colored
fabrics are not desired.
A smart little frock is in heavy nat
ural linen made in Russian style with
single embroidered revers.
A Russian blouse dress of pink
linen has scalloped edgss worked in
white and belt Of deep rose-colored
velvet ribbon.
A quaint little dress in pink linen
is made on empire linen and is trim
med with white. Over the shoulder
is slung, on long white cords, a small
bag of the pink linen with allover
braiding in white-a charming copy in
miniature of the cordeiier of the small
girls mother.
When mother goes south the small
daughter must accompany her, and be
equipped for the change in climate as
well. Accordingly there are already
being shown new styles in parasols
for the little one to carry under the
southern sun.
AS might be expected, most Of the
parasols for children are bordered,
like those of their mothers. There
are pink and blue scalloped silk
dounces on linen and pongee models,
plaid or check borders on plain silk,
tucked borders, and even dresden Dor

occasions.

Tendency In Skirts.

The skirts to suits are frequently
made with a tunic effect, or a side
trimming, says the Dry Goods Econo-
mist. Sometimes both sides are
trimmed, while in others only the left
side. The slashed effect, with simulat-
ed underpetticoat, is also excellent,
and frequently the slashing is made
with an underskirt of self material,
but laid in inverted plaits so as to
give a little more fullness in walking.
While there seems to be slight ten
dency toward a little more fullness in
the skirts, the general effect is one of
narrowness, and buyers arc still ask

Ghosts For Two
BY JOHN PHILIP ORTIZ

There was Miss Kitty Vernon, visit
ing her married sister at Keith Hall.
far out in the country. and there was
Mr. Jack St. Clair, stopping at his
brothers place. three miles from
Keith Hall, for the fall hunting and
shooting. Only three miles apart, and
Miss Kitty galloping over the high
ways on her pony. and Jack roaming
about on foot. and yet three long
weeks had passed and the two had
not caught sight of each other.
There Is much talk about magnetic
attraction, but the weather is some
times against it, or there is a range Of
hills to carry the current off at a
tangent
Jack st. Clair was poor shot and
worse fisherman. 1t is just such fell
lows that go sloshing around and
spoil the fun for others. When
snipe has been shot at 40 or so times
without being even grazed he flies
away to Canada for rest, and the
hsh who has been permitted to eat
all the bait off a hook time after time
without being caught finally seeks
other waters where there is some
thing doing.
When Jack came home from his all
day excursions without so much as
birds tail-feather or the scale of
fish his sister-in-law would say to
him:
why not give it up?"
"Why should II"
Give 1T up and spend your time
looking for wife. You are twenty
five years old, fairly wealthy, aud it's
time you settled down."
But l am looking. That's one good
thing about the country-you can look
for snipe, fish and wife at the same
time. No lost hours If you dent get
snlpe you may get fish, If you don't
get fish you may meet damsel in
distress and rescue her and marry
her"

Watt Of Violet Scent.

So many inquiries have come tt
hand respecting a new way of perfum,
ing rooms, that one ventures to de.
scribe yet another and more simple
novelty which is being used for this
purpose, Of making rooms fresh and
fragrant. This is known as the violet
hanger, which consists Of a group of
dainty little wicker baskets filed with
pot pourri of violets and covered with

on his hind legs and paw the air. Such
conduct had It's embarrassing side.
And then, when she had been to the
village three times and galloped over
the highways so often the scenery lost
Its appeal, she would return from a
ride looking anything but enthusiastic
and her sister would say:
why not give it up?"
And do what?''
"Sit on the porch"
And why that?"
"A young man may como along in
an auto any hour and bust tire and
have to ask for tools to repair it.
Just such an event has brought about

COST OF GRAIN
GROWING TN &.
CENTRAL CANADA

A careful canvass made of q num-
Der of men farming in a large way
indicates that even with the extreme
expense Of harvesting the crop, which
has been caused by the bad weather
and difficulty in threshing, wheat has
been produced and put on the market
for less than IS cents bushel. The
average freight rate is not over Is
cents per bushel. This would make
the cost Of production and freight 68
cents and would leave the farmer an
actual margin on his low-grade wheat
Of 173z cents and for his high-grado
wheat Of 1911 cents; and though this
Is not as large a profit as the farmer
has every right to expect, it is a profit
not to be despised, and which should
leave very fair amount of money to
his credit when all the expenses Of
the year have been paid, unless tho
value Of low-grade wheat sinks very
much below it's present level. A mat
ter OF importance to the prospective
settler Is that Of the cost of produc-
ton. The following table has been
prepared after careful Investigation:
Interest on 800 acres, value
$50 per acre, 3 years at 6
per cent interest. 10000
