fence posts to paper cuttings by the
small children. On the walls are
shown really wonderful collection
of drawings, in colors and black and
white; paper cuttings, basketry, raf-

exquisite monogram work. There are
interesting samples of penmanship
not specially selected, but taken from
the ordinary days work of the pupil.
Manual Training.
The pieces from the manual train
ing department attract immediate at
tention. 1t includes Davenport, Nor
ris and other chairs, desks, tables,
padded foot stools, book cases, hat
racks, and some hammered copper
desk pieces. All of this is the work
OF the students and it Is high class
work, too. The upholstering of the
Davenport and some of the chairs was
done by the boys and shows high
degree of skill. One of the pieces is
q skeleton of a barn. For this the
boys made their own blueprints, made
their own scale and proceeded to
carry out the plan in very workman
like manner.

1t was reported that a majority of
the property owners on Broadway,
from Sixth to Seventh avenues,
wished to have that block included
in the Broadway paving district, which
would carry it from First to Seventh

Sixth to Seventh is only 35 feet,
whereas for the rest of the thorough

the two could not be combined in one
district in any event. 1t is expected

THE FORMAL OPENING
OF MAMMOTH STORE
MANY ATTEND AND LOOK OVER
POWER MERCANTILE COM.
PANY'S STORE.

Saturday witnessed the formal
opening of the Power Mercantile COM
pany new store. Large additions to
the building itself has made place for
the huge increase of stock in almost
every department. One of the chief
enlargements is in the grocery depart
ment, which takes up the greater part
of the new downstairs addition. With
in this department improvements are
manifold, one of the first of these be-
ing the cold storage plant. This plant
stores twenty-five tons of ice and an
ample supply of butter, eggs, green
vegetables and the like are well kept
behind it's wall, part of which are of
glass. Two compartments divide the
butter and eggs from the vegetables,
so that any taint is impossible. An
other excellent feature of the grocery
is the order and wrapping depart
ment, where outgoing orders receive
attention in part set aside for that
purpose. Sections for bakery goods
and confectionery also have a place
in this new arrangement.
The shoe department now occupies
the place where the grocery formerly
was. Here as in the other remodeled
departments the fixtures are new and
the stock has been increased attrac-
lively. The dry goods department has
been greatly enlarged and the stock
doubled.
For Women Patrons.
All the offerings of the most up-to-
date stores in the country can be
bought here, where all the beauty
and color of the spring and summer
fabrics is temptingly displayed. Just
above this department is the new
rest room for women. This includes
an attractively furnished sitting room
with desk for writing, toilet rooms
and a smaller room, where lunches
may be eaten. This room was built
largely to meet the needs OF out-of-

HAM HEARING.
IS IN JAIL
O. ss Man In the Case Occupies Ad-
!, joining CelI--Naturalization Day.
Violations Of the Game Law-Two
Divorces Granted-Jury Term Be-
gins Monday Morning Next.

When the habeas corpus proceeding
instituted by William Bonham, late
of Basin, Wyoming, against Mrs. Nan
ME Bonham, his wife, to secure the
custody of their five little children,
was called up before Judge Roy e.
Ayers yesterday it revealed a rather
remarkable situation. Bonham, the
petitioner, was in the county jail,
charged with larceny, while in an ad-
joining cell was George Loomis, pre-
viously arrested upon complaint of
Bonham, charged with adultery. 1t
seems that while the Bonhams were
residing at Basin the petitioner in
this case deserted his wife, leaving
her and her brood of little children
destitute, so that they became county
charges. Eventually Mrs. Bonham
came to LewistOwn and eventually
also her husband, who had disap
peared, came on here and instituted
the proceeding, setting out, inciden.
tally, that Mrs. Bonham was living
with the man Loomis. Some days
ago BOnham, during the absence OF
his wife from the house where she If
residing, went there to get some pa
pers belonging to him. as he alleges
He went through trunk and did Sc
cure some papers, but also took other
articles not his property. He was ar
rested in the house by Officer John
Crowley.
Problem for Court.
With the facts before him, Judge
Ayers was confronted by a good-sized
problem. He decided to keep the
children in the custody of the court
temporarily, the sheriff having charge
of them, and has sent an inquiry to
Bonham's parents at Sheridan, Wyo-
ming, to ascertain If they are willing
and able to furnish the children a
suitable home.
Naturalization Day.
Yesterday was naturalization day
in the district court and a round dozen
aliens were admitted to citizenship.
Violate Game Laws.
Six men have been arrested by Dep
uty Game Wardens Berkin and Weav-

with fishing without licenses, while
one man, a Mexican, was arrested

guilty before Judge B. H. Foley and
were fined $25 each.

MARKET IN THE ORIENT
The Laboratory, by Which the Stand
ard Of Each Brand ef Flour Is Pre-
vented From Showing the Slight.
est Variation-How the Wheat Is
Cleaned.

TO all except the initiated, the mod.
ern -four mill is veritable house of
mystery. It proved such to the Dem
ocrat representative who few days
ago went through the establishment
of the Montana Flour Mills company,
but trip through all the floors, to-
gether. The big structure is packed
full of machinery, the whole equip
ment being right up to date, and the
various mechanical processes are as
carefully worked out and as methodi-
cally conducted as the business of the
office. The wheat is taken from the
cars up into the elevator immediate
ly adjoining the mill. From there it
is carried through steel pipe by
gravity to the top of the mill and is
first given bath in warm water and
mechanically washed. One washing is
not enuogh, however. 1t is next run
through securing machine and thor
oughly cleaned and incidentally pol
ished. Manager c. R. McClave sets
a lot of store upon this cleaning proc
ess and those who consume flour from
this mill may be absolutely assured
Of one thing to begin with-it's clean.
The familiar. advertising reads 'It's
the Wheat but it might we'll read,
"It's the Clean Wheat" There are
many mills that do not wash the wheat
in this way, to make it absolutely
clean from a sanitary point of view.
Well, what happens to the wheat
after it is cleaned? That's hard to
tell, in detail, but what happens to it
is a plenty. When the grain is finally
through the preliminary processes
and ready for the grinders, it enters
upon a long, long journey. Some of
it comes out as middlings, bran,
shorts and other products, but the
flour is the thing.
To the novice there is some aston
ishing machinery in this local plant.
The most interesting of this, perhaps,
is on the third floor where the agi-
tatOrs are located. These stout ma
chimes 60 reeling about in a sort of an
endless dance, performing a very i'm
portant function in the work of pro-
ducing perfect flour. Then there is
the separating machine, a piece of
mechanism that separates perfectly
wheat from oats. On the indented
metal plates the kernels of wheat lie
snug so that the brushes just miss
them, but these brushes catch the
grains of oats every time-at least
this chronicler failed to locate an oat
kernel in the product of a demonstra-
ting run that was continued for some
tilne.
The Laboratory.
Down on one of the lower floors is
a modest department slowed away in
a corner of the building, but it plays
a very important part in turning out
perfect -four. This is the laboratory,
presided over by F. Friend Day, who
holds an honor certificate from the
