Stellar Distances.

An English writer has amused
himself in figuring on the price OF
a journey to the nearest star. AS
Stunning that it would be possible to
travel at speed Of 500 miles an
hour and that the fare would be
as low as 2 cents a hundred miles,
he figures that the traveller would
have to pay $5,50O,000 for his tick
ct and that he would reach his des-
tination in 5,S39,440 years. If the
traveller, however, could take pas
sage on ray of light he could make
his journey in four and one-quartcr
years. At that rapid rate he could
reach the moon in second and a
quarter, tie sun in eight minutes
and Neptune in four years.

Ramsey Elected Speaker

j. w. Ramsey was chosen
speaker of the lower house of
the legislature, defeating Mac
Donald of Kalispell. Up to yes
terday morning there was a
deadlock in the senate, the pro-
gressives holding the balance of
power, and that body had not
organized. In the committee
appointments of the house, both
A. K. Lusk of St. Ignatius and
D. N. Mason of Roman secured
assignments on the new counties

other important places. Little

The Anaconda Standard hit
pretty close to the truth when it
said, This state does not need
many new laws. There is more
need of the check than of the
spur in legislation" An equitable
and just tax law, the abolishing
of a score of offices, a valued in
surance policy law, and a general
reduction in expenditures would
be a good record for the present
legislature.

Rhodes still survives, a medieval
city in all its defensive war gear of

the city which the knights of St.
John erected in the midst of the

driven out of Jerusalem in the early
fourteenth century. Probably few
travellers realize how well preserved
the tremendous Notifications and
dwellings are.

Officers Hail Their Men.
When a German officer slows up his

detachment of troops moving Oh foot
he is more apt than not to give the
men a hail and ask them If all goes
we'll with them. If it Is sentry the
officer is passing as he crosses the
bridge at the foot of village street
he will pause and say, Are you com

sentry beams and in a dozen words

In the German army seems singularly
