| peror, Constantine, in 1926. Work on
the great pile of the present vener.
able cathedral was begun by Justinian
| in 533. Ten thousand workmen were
employed until its completion, and
the wealth OF the whole empire was
put to the severest test to furnish the
| steady golden stream which flowed
and flowed for the carrying out OF the
ideas. Schools were stopped, it Is
said, that the salaries Of the teachers
might be diverted to Santa Sophia's
benefit, and the lead pipes Of Constan-
tinople were melted down in order to
make sheeting for its roofs.
Great Work Done Speedily.
Europe, Asia and Africa contributed
of their resources and of their historic
marble columns and panels that the
great cathedral might be unsurpassed
among the glories of earth. Some say
that the great work was finished in
the marvelously short time Of ten
years, others are positive, even, that
it was ready in six years. However
this may be, 1t required 100 years to
build ST. Peters at Rome; IS years to
build ST. Paul's in London; 500 years
to build the Milan cathedral, and 615
years to build the Cathedral Of
Cologne. There are millions of the
Greek Orthodox faith who are looking
confidently forward to the day when
Santa Sophia will again be the princi-
pal cathedral of their worship.
A bewildering wealth OF legends
clusters around the old cathedral, now
defaced and mutilated as a Turkish
mosque, and these legends throw a
veil Of the supernatural around It.
One legend, which the Greeks like to
remember, is that of the bishop who
was celebrating mass as the wild Turk
ish hordes under Mohammet H., con-
Queror of Constantinople, broke into
the church, and who escaped their
fanatic wrath by walking into a niche
made by the opening wall which again
closed behind him. This priest is
waiting in the wall for the day when
Santa Sophia once more comes under
Christian power, when he will leave
his place of refuge and continue, in
celebration OF the end Of Turkish rule,
the service in which he was interrupt
ed 500 years before.

RRY HATEVER may be the fat,
wv Of Constantinople as q re
WV suit OF the war, there is ne
one who does not fervently
hope that the mosque Of
Santa Sophia, the ecclesiastical gem
Of the Turkish capital, will be spared
1t 10 to the Greek church what the
site Of the Temple at Jerusalem is to
the Jew and, except for its possession
by strange religion, what st. Peter {
is to the Catholic. The repossession
Of Santa Sophia represents the goal OF
Russia's ambitions during several cen
turtles. Concerning this great church
edifice writer for the National Geo.
graphic society says:
Christianity has been productive OF
many wonderful places of worship, of
temples richer in treasure and more
beautiful in workmanship than those
which have grown out of any other
religion. Byzantine and Gothic archi-
lecture received their highest express
sion in sacred building, so much so in
the case Of Gothic that the lay mind
confuses that architectural type with
pictures of the wonderful cathedrals
of France and Germany. Christian
temples are among the most wonder
full architectural accomplishments Of
all times, and by far and away their
most respondent example is Santa
Sophia. the Oldest, the most magnifi-
cent, the most costly and the most in
teresting of all Christian churches.
Santa Sophia has become an in

lief who are fighting in the present
battles Of Europe.
Built at Enormous Cost.
1t is estimated that Santa Sophia,
including the values of ground. mate
rial, labor, ornaments and church uten-
sils, cost about 100000. while the
common estimate of the cost of st.
Peters. the chief present splendor OF
the Eternal City. is placed at $48, OO0,-
600. No other temple has ever ap-
preached Santa Sophia in the variety
and preciousness Of its marbles and
in its prodigal employment of silver,
gold and precious stones.
The first church constructed upon
the site Of Santa Sophia was built at

Grows Fine Tobacco Crop.

Kalispell.-Herbert Jessup of Cres-
ton has demonstrated that tobacco can
be successfully grown in the Flathead
valley. This year Mr.. Jessup grew 200
pounds of fine Connecticut leaf on
less than one-tenth of an acre. Some
of the leaves are over foot in width,
and ready market can be secured in
this locality, he says, at price of
not less than Is cents per pound. His
1915 crop has been cut and Is now
curing. It will be 'sweated' in De-
cember, and next spring it will be
ready for use. Mr.. Jessup has had
considerable experience in growing to-
bacco in Illinois, and he is of the
opinion that there is no reason why
1t cannot be grown here in CONNER
cial quantities.

CLAIMS RATES ARE TOO HIGH
Bozeman Grain Merchant Says Freight
Charges on Farm Products Are
Unsatisfae tory.

Bozeman.-Freight rates on farm
products marketed outside of Montana
are too high, according to T. B.
Quaw, a prominent wholesale grain
dealer and merchant of Bozeman, who
has studied in great detail the factors
governing prices in Montana, and who
speaks from his 80 years experience
as dealer in the Gallatin valley.
I'VE have bumper crop in Mon
tana this year, but the prices are far
from satisfactory. In this city at the
present time No. / winter wheat is IA
cents per bushel, No. oats rs cents
per hundredweight, and barley from rs
to 80 cents hundred. Baled hay is
selling from $1,000 to $11 per ton, po-
tatoes from As to so cents a hundred
weight. These prices are not high
enough to afford any margin of profit
to the growers, and none of them are
selling. They feel that any change is
likely to be for the better. Freight
rates are too high, and the railroads
say they cannot be lowered and leave
them any margin of profit; that, of
course, is question for the inter-
state commerce commission to decide.
The present freight rate from Boze-
man to eastern terminals is 80 cents
per hundredweight, and % cents to
western points; or in bushels it costs
IS cents to transport bushel of wheat
to the head of navigation on the
great lakes, and 1868 cents to tide
water on the Pacific

yer Star to Renova harvesting one of
the largest apple crops on record.
Picking has been in progress for sew
eral days and as rapidly as possible
the output is being marketed. While
the quantity is there, the quality this
year is said not to be quite up to the
standard because of hailstorms during
the summer, which damaged great
many apples, leaving blemishes that
injure the appearance ofsthe fruit. The
good, smooth, perfect fruit is being
boxed and shipped to various Mon
tana points, notably Butte and Helena.
