Butte, Aug. 3O.-The employment
Office of the Anaconda Copper Min

known to the miners as the "rustling
Office" was blown up at 1880 this
morning with a terrific blast of dyna-
mite that Jared all the buildings in
Butte and rocked residences on the
outskirts of the city.
The structure was of brick and two
stories high and one side was com
pletely blown out and a hole torn
through the top large enough to adj
nit a street car. No one was killed,
so far as known, but the aged night

that from Is to 100 pounds of dyna-

to apply for work had to possess a

system the Office issuing these cards

Death Of an Old Pioneer
Communicated

SoIllIIuIlINdNCuJ
Mac Bruneau, one of the old piO-
neers of Montana, passed away on
Wednesday morning, August 10, 1914,
after a long period of gradual failing
health due to old age. Four years
ago next winter, Mr.. Bruneau took a
trip to California, but it was evident
that the change of climate was too
much for him.
Mr.. Bruneau had been a resident
of Montana since 1867. coming to the
state by route of the Missouri river.
In 1885, he became engaged in part
nership in livestock with Fred La
Barre, and remained in the business
till eight or nine years ago when he
dissolved partnership by selling his
share to his partner. He had made
his home at Mr.. kaBarre's ranch on
the Marias river since they entered
business together, and always re-
manned with the family from that
time until his death.
Although his death was not uneX-
pected, it will cause grief to all the
old acquaintances he had made in
former days. The River Press was
misinformed in stating that his his
tory was unknown, as he was we'll
known throughout the country and
we'll thought of by the old-timers.
Mr.. Bruneau leaves a brother in Du-
luth, Mimi, and a sister in Canada
to mourn his death. He was Is years
old.

What sea power means to a nation
is instanced by the fact that Great
Britain, a country comparatively in
significant in area, and not rich in
natural resources, has for centuries
held the balance of power in the CIV
ilized world through the greatness of
her merchant marine and her navy.
Even Holland, a couple of centuries
ago, was a mighty power because her
flag flew from her vessels in every
part of the world. Germany's quest
of the sea is a vital part of the plans
she has for future supremacy.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF cHourEAu COUNTY
FEEDING BIG ARMIES

According to military experts, ev-
cry German foot soldier carried twen-
ty-seven ounces of hard bread, TWEEN.
ty-one ounce of preserved meat or
bacon, ten and a half ounces of veg
etables, mostly onions, and two and
f%ive-eights ounces of coffee in his hav-
ersack when he started for Belgium.
Every Uhlan or other cavalryman
carried just one.third of that amount.
The foot soldiers had enough food
for three days and the cavalrymen
for one day. The cavalryman is sup
posed to be able to get back to a base
of supplies oftener and easier than a
foot soldier. Besides, his work being
usually in advance Of the foot SOL
iders, the food supplies of the coun-
try are not materially depleted when
he appears, and he is expected to help
himself.
For the past twenty-five years the
Germans have been working on the
great commissary machine that plays
such an important part in their mill
tary operations. They call the ration

ounces their iron ration. 1t must
last three days. Six hundred car
loads of food must leave Coblentz,
Cologne, Aix-la-Chapelle, or whatever
for the time being is the commissary
depot, daily for the 100000 men sup
posed to be operating in Belgium,
Nuremberg and, possibly Holland;
that is the minimum. The chances
are that 900 cars are being used for
the conveyance of one days iron"
ration. For ammunition there must
be a minimum of 800 cars. For for
age and other quartermaster stores
there must be a minimum of at least
1000 cars. although the probabilities
are that a much larger number are
being used.
If the army is being kept supplied
by less than $500 carloads of mater
ial every day the statisticians and
others who have worked on the ma
chine and it's handling have achieved
a great victory. Probably 200 loco.
motives are in use.
All these things are being used to
start the supplies from the great de-
pots at the base or bases to the tenn
porary distributing depots. The cities
mentioned are probably the temper
rary depots.
The French foot soldier carries
three rations in his haversack when
he starts out. 1t consists of thirty
three ounces Of bread nine ounces of
preserved meat and five and one-half
ounces of "groceries''-that is, onions,
salt, pepper, garlic and spices. The
Russian infantryman carries bread
enough for two days and a half.
French cavalrymen carry supplies
for n day. The Russian mounted
man carries enough for n day.
A soldier is supposed to carry 200
cartridges, weighing, with belts close
to twenty pounds. or five times as
much as his food for the three days,

which averaged nearly twenty.four
bushels to the acre. Thirteen acres
went about twenty bushels to the

best way to farm in this section.
Glasgow Courier: Following the
heavy rain of last week, the creeks
in the north country rose high above
their banks and traffic was almost cut
off for several days on a number of

about $1,000.
Glasgow News: S. r. Walker was

Of So bushels of barley per acre. He
say he came to town and found out
the market price and after figuring
that it would take almost the entire
crop to pay the threshing bill and
expenses, he decided to feed it to
his hogs and market the crop in the
shape of pork.
Conrad Observer: The report is
going the rounds of town this week
that Dick Huen, who lives just east
of town has finished threshing his
field of winter wheat and that it
yielded him so bushels to the acre.
This crop was grown on breaking,

that the raising Of a crop is in the

THE MENTAL REASON

These are other reasons that may be
classed as mental, moral and spiritual,
which | will take up in the order stat
ed. Responsibility has great develop
ing power and let woman once feel
that she is a unit of force in shaping
events, that will make the common
collective life better Or worse, and she
will rise to the occasion.
A woman said to me Il do not care

She said: Eyes, but II | voted | should

Many women, perhaps the majority,
do not so inform themselves. But
how often do you find men seeking
proficiency in subject when there is
neither prospective involved. 1t is
perhaps a tribute to their hard headed
practicability that they do not. The

broader outlook upon life. A little

RING-TAILED RlP-SNORTING

They must be having some warm

much of old time journalism that it is
really interesting. The Gazette says
