BRICK HOUSE SENT BY MAIL
Dawson Firm Uses Parcel Post in
Forwarding Its Contribution To-
ward q Binding in Chicago.

Mr.. B. R. Russell of the Eufaula
Brick Manufacturing Co. sent by
parcel post this morning a brick
of local manufacture that will be
used in the erection of a brick
house at the Coliseum, in Chicago,
during the Clay Products Exposition
from February 26th to March Sth.
This brick is one of $4,000 to be
sent by parcel post from every brick
plant in the United States to be used
in the constructor of this building,
which will be given away and re-
erected after the exposition.
The idea was originated to test
the merits of the parcel post system
and it is certainly novel one. A
record is kept of each brick from
the time the brick is mailed until
it is delivered in Chicago in order to
see how speedily Uncle Sam can de-
liver a brick house by mail. 1t is
probable that the mail carriers in
Chicago will not be overly enthusiast
tic for this method of delivery of a
brick house.
While brick fireproof homes are
becoming more and more popular
because of their permanency, econo-
my and superiority it is not proba-
BILE that they will be delivered by
mail to any alarming extent. At
any rate, the Eufaula Brick Manu-
featuring Co., whose Office is in Daw-
son, will have a brick in the first
brick house ever sent by mail.
The aggregate cost of handling
these brick by mail will exceed So
600.

downward, were granted yesterday by

diminutions may be construed as
coming in the nature of Christmas
presents, says the executive, the men
have earned them, and the action was
taken OF the recommendation of

been doing for the state. Governor
Stewart emphasizes the fact he has
not granted %pardons, and that the COM

men immediate release. Each case
is treated of in a separate communi-

Report on Montana Creameries

Montana creameries and diaries are
furnishing employment to 5000 men,
and r working into dairy products
the milk of $4,000 cows, according to
the annual report received from State
Dairy Commissioner A. G. Scholes.
A glowing picture of the dairy con.
ditions in the state is painted by Mr..
Scholes in his report, and a perusal
of the figures showing the rapidly in
creasing number in Montana. supple
ments the belief of the commissioner
that within 10 years the million of
dollars now flowing out of the state
annually for creamery products will
help swell the bank rolls of local dai.
rymen at no remote date.
Basing an estimate upon the infor.
nation derived from inspections, Mr..
Scholes places the number of mich
COWS in Montana at $4,000 and the
number of dairymen in the business at
5000. The number of dairy cows so
far inspected is 1906. The report
shows that at the present time Cas-.
cade county is milking more cows than
any other county in the state, with
| Ravalli a close second. Carbon coun.
ty comes third and Flathead county
fourth.
