MILES CITY HUNTS BUFFALO
Citizens Join in Pursuit-Herd of
Thirty Bison Stampedes and Hur-
ri es North to Bad Lands.

Miles City.-For the first time in
twenty years Miles City was on
buffalo hunt The herd of buffalo
owned by Mayor C. H. Mott STAN
peded and hurried north to the Bad
Lands, pursued by cowboys, ranch
men, sheriff, mounted police, mer-
chants and bankers.
News of the dash for liberty by the
buffalo reached Miles City by tele-
phone from the Mott ranch, which is
only a few miles out. The sport OF
another dash on the trail of buffalo
reused half the population to action
and within a few minutes hundreds
were galloping over the north trail to
Join in the hunt through the Bad
Lands for the missing buffalos. Busl-
ness men who long ago gave up the
saddle, once more donned their riding
apparel and, astride their favorite
mounts, spurred their animals north
in hopes of getting in on one more
real buffalo hunt. The mayor left early
and was accompanied by Sheriff Mid
dleton, two mounted police and about
so cowboys.
There are 80 buffalo in the herd. 1t
is feared that should the buffalos reach
the breaks there will be little chance
for recovering all of them.

MANS SHORT TERM OF LIFE
In Comparison With Other Animals
He Does Not Nearly Live Out
His Allotted Time.

A rule which holds fairly true among
the higher animals is that an animal
lives five times as long as 1t requires
for his muscular system to reach its
full strength. The dog is fully devel-
oped at between two and three years
of age, and lives fifteen years; the
horse reaches his prime not later than
five, and If he escapes overwork and
Ill usage, lives to be twenty-five and
even thirty. In fact, the rule seems to
be an understatement of animal ex-
pectation of life, rather than an over
statement
The one conspicuous exception Is
man, who seldom reaches his full mus
cular strength before he Is twenty-five
and counts himself living On borrowed
time If he passes the age Of seventy.
If man were as well circumstanced in
this matter as the horse, dog or cat,
his average term of life would vary
from one hundred and ten to one hum
dred and twenty-five years.

VALUATION is INCREASED
Assessments in Lewis and Clark
County Show Gain of Two Million
Dollars During Year.

Helena.-During the past year there
was an increase in round numbers OF
the assessed valuation of property in
Lewis and Clark County of 100000.
If the railroad assessment this year
is as large as it was last year the total
assessment of the county will be $24,-
100000. One large increase is in the
assessment of the franchises of the ex-
press companies. Heretofore only the
wagons, horses and office furniture
have been assessed. This year the
Great Northern franchise is assessed
at SIS, 1000 and the Northern Pacific at
100000. 1t is expected both COM
panies will protest the assessment and,
if not upheld b. the county commits
sioners, will appeal to the courts.
There is more than $1,000,000 in
crease in the item solvent credits"
over last year, due to the assessment
of the John T. Murphy and other es-
tates of deceased persons.

LITTLE TIME FOR SENTIMENT
Bird House Attendants All Too Busy
to Bother About Legendary
Stories or Myths.

The visitor approached one OF the
gayly uniformed attendants who spend
their days In the bird house OF the
Bronx park geological gardens. This
privileged being must, she thought,
have imbibed at least touch OF sent1-
ment.

story, some myth, connected with that
pigeon which has on its breast the red
splotch like blood from a bullet
wound?"
STORY? Myth? Git on! Course
there amt no story about it. It's just
a red feather or so-thats all. The
bird was born that way. See?"
But where do they come from?
There must be a story, some
Il tell you there amt nothin' about

A slightly more affable attendant
did disclose the name Of the pigeon.
1t was called blood-breasted, and 1t
did come from the Philippines. But II
there was story-and there must
have been-none of the lfveried fnfor-
nation bureaus knew it. No sentiment
for them! They only said, Keep to

CROP OUTLOOK is SPLENDID.
Caused by Wet Weather Slight
Predicts Heavy Harvest.

Butte, Mont. M. Gruber, vice
president of the Great Northern rail-
way, in this city on an inspection of
his system, predicts unparalleled pros
perity for the farmers of the North
west.
1.-THE crop outlook is splendid, he
said Prolonged wet weather had In
jured the crops in slight measure, but
the damage was not extensive and the
harvest will be heavy.
"The territory traversed by the
Great Northern is in good condition
and increased traffic is confidently ex-
pected, especially If the United States
can continue to avoid entanglements
with any of the warning European
countries" Mr.. Gruber added.

SCHOOLS SUPPRESS DISEASE
State Superintendent Would Keep
Montana Institutions Open During
Epidemics-System Successful

Helena.-That keeping the public
schools open during an epidemic is a
strong factor in suppressing disease,
was the suggestion of H. A. Dayee,
state superintendent of public instruc-
ton, during discussion of the subject
on the closing day of the State Health
Officers association convention at
BoZeman.
Mr.. Davee quoted the experience OF
Minnesota as basis for his remarks.
In that state the health officials are
in harmony with the boards of educa-
ton in the matter of non-closing dur
ing an epidemic. 1t is claimed that the
system has proved successful, although
up to now it is in opposition to the
usal methods of states.

HEAVY DEMAND FOR LABOR.
Railroads Experience Scarcity of Men
for Construction Work-Many
Needed for HAVING Season.


for Construction Work-Many
Needed for Haying Season.
Butte.-The demand for labor in
Butte and in Montana generally is
good, and with settled weather, when
farming operations will begin on a
large scale, the demand will be even
better At present there are few men
in Butte who are available for the
many jobs that may be secured on the
railroads, on some of the construc-
ton work about the state or for the
farms. Though there are a number
of idle men in Butte at present, it is
because they do not want work, ac-
cording to a labor agent of Butte.
Only a few weeks ago the condi-
lions were reversed. There were no
jobs in sight and hundreds of idle
men were looking for work. Where
they have gone is the mystery. They
are wanted now and, apparently, are
hard to find.
There is a scarcity of men for rail-
road work at Butte, Missoula, Deer
Lodge and number of other Mon
tana cities. The scarcity will be
greater when the haying season be-
gins in earnest and, with the other
farm work during the latter part OF
the summer, the outlook is not of the
best.

RUSSIAN RETIREMENT DUE
TO NEW CONSIDERATIONS

Petrograd, Feb. 12.-The retire
ment Of the Russian forces from the
region of the Mazurian lakes to the
Russian frontier is due, according to
the Russian general stan, to new
considerations which have become
important since the heavy German
concentration in East Prussia has
changed the complexion OF the mill
tary situation on the northern battle
front.

German operations in the Mazurian
lakes district destroys any supposi.

glorious truth and countless boys
from lowly surroundings have from
this example been heartened to fight
on against heavy odds.
Lincolns father was destitute

But he had the energy to emigrate
into a new country, when he saw no

HURRICANE, EARTHQUAKE
AND.,T|DA WAVES SWEEP
OVER MANUA ISLANDS

Tutuila, American Samoa, Feb. 70
Not only a hurricane, but with 1t
an earthquake and tidal wave swept
over Manua Islands OF the Samoan
group, as reported here two days
ago. Fuller details received today
show that three persons were killed,
one OF whom was beheaded by flying
wreckage.
Entire villages disappeared. Those
OF which traces remained were ruin
ed utterly. All shipping either was
destroyed or badly damaged.
Three fourths OF the cocoa plants
on which the islands depend for
nourishment and their commerce in
copra we're leveied and all the re-

were wiped out. 1t will be year
before any food plants can be brought
into bearing again, and three thous-
and inhabitants are destitute.

further. aid Is urgent as the food
supply is so low that starvation will
set in before three weeks are out.
The South seas have known hurri-
canes before, but the situation left
in the wake of this one is described
as unprecedented.
At the height OF the storm the fury
OF the wind was unbelievable. Iron
roofs were torn off and blown ten
miles. The very soil was torn from

made graves were left exposed. The
barometer stood at 81 so.

ThE MODERN
LENT


LENT
Inc Lenton observance of today Is
typical instance of the softening
down OF modern times. Some would
call it the enervation of the present
period. with many people the Len
ten observance is simply the trading
off of one amusement for another. IL
they drop dances during the fasting
period, they are likely to make 1t up
by more card parties or visits to the
theater.
That Lent Is a benefit to the devo-
tees of hign society will Se admitted
even by the most bigoted antagonists
Of the churches.
In these CT Giles daily and dizzy
output of balls, receptions, teas, and
cards is turned out as seriously as
If this we've real life. 1t has all the
nervous train of hard labor. 1t has
not the toni. effect and human inter
est of any real service. No wonder
that the people who live this life
are chronic sufferers with nervous
prostration. Lent at least stops the
game for few weeks.
For people of the more intense type
of faith, the act Of fasting Is felt
to have peculiar virtues. Life to
them is a gross and heshy thing, the
soul continually hobbled by the
coarse and carnal body, with its
eating and drinking, the lust of the
eyes and the flesh. From that point
of view, the abstention from physic-
al pleasure Is purifying, even If bod
ily weakness follows, and the result
enables one to see through this veil
of sense into the real and vital spiri'
tual world around us.
Most of us can not rise to this
level. People are hurried and driv'
en- by daily cares, and the wider Vi
sions are Clouded and blurred. Lent
brings many people into the church
es. where for a little they are re-
minded that life is not all making
money and keeping house and going
to picture shows.
For the ordinary person, acts OF
real service to the world seem the
most pra :tical use to be made OF
this season of religious observance.
