MINE OPERATORS WIN FIGHT
Get Rehearing and Freight Rate Rul

Red 1iodge.-The coal mine operat-

Carbon county have been declared
victorious in a freight rate contro.
versy which involved the very life
of the industry in this section Of
Montana.
Several months ago the operators
in the Sheridan, Wyo., district, anx.
1ous to invade the Montana market,
secured a rate reduction from the in.
terstate commerce commission which,
had 1t stood, would have been body

where higher wages, shorter hours
and better working conditions make
mining much more expensive than in
the Sheridan field. This rate amount.

>on Sheridan coal. It enabled the
Sheridan operators to ship their coal
to Montana points, west of Laurel,
also to Idaho and Washington, at
rate 10 cents a ton less than the
rate from the Bear Greek and Red
Lodge mines. This rate was granted
despite the fact that the haul from
Sheridan to Laurel is more than 100
miles greater than from the Carbon
county mine.
A protest was filed by the Carbon
county operators and a rehearing was
granted by the commerce commits
sion, which now has rescinded its
ruling and restored the former rates.

CAPTURED WITH FLY PAPER
Clever Idea That Enabled Indian Off

You know what a ferocious, power
fui beast the lion is. And yet can
imagine what strong chains it would
take to hold him fast. So, can you
even imagine lion captured with fly
paper? Well, not SO very long ago.
four huge man-eating lions were ia.
ken in that manner at the village OF
Gwalior. in India.
1t happened that the head man OF
the village was able to shut the four
lions up In hut into which they had
ventured in search Of prey. He kept
them thus barricaded for nearly two
weeks. no one being willing to at.
tempt to capture them. Finally he
thought of scheme that proved as
successful as it was original.
He had thousands of sheets of f1y
paper spread on the ground before the
entrance to the hut. Then. suddenly,
the barbados were lifted and the
four lions came bounding out-into
the fly paper. OF course it stuck to
their paws, and, of course, when they
tried to lick it off 1t became stuck fast
to their faces and heads. The lions
promptly forgot all about human be.
ings and, in their wild endeavors to
get rid of the fly paper rolled over
and over on the ground, roaring and
fighting for breath.
Then the head man and his follow.
ers rushed forward with long ropes,
lassoeed the plunging lions and tied
them ull-fly paper and all!

be OF much consequence. Neverthe
less, IN the course of year, constant

This Is worth considering. The fact
is that the damage is more than ter
cents per sheep when the effect on the
wool Is added. Therefore, laying aside
our moral duty to allay the suffering
of the suffering brute, there is potent
financial reason for destroying the
sheep tick. For determining intelli
gent methods of destroying the tick
1t was necessary to discover the de.
tails Of its life history.
The life history is divided into four
stages: the egg, the larva, the pupa,
and the image. or fully developed tick.
This is the stage that Is common ia
everyone. The egg is not laid as in
the case with most flies. After ferti.

mother and develops into a larva
which is laid in the wool OF the sheen
This larva changes into the pupa stage

When first laid it is covered with
a white chitinous membrane which
soon becomes brown and hard. For
convenience, shall include In the
pupa stage that portion Of the larva
stage which is passed outside of the
tick and shall speak Of the tick as

pupa an egg.
