had stepped hastily back to his side,
and the American minister was In the
room.

said Count Okuma to the minister.
With few murmured words of sor.

written memorandum of coincidence,
which the count placed among the
others on his desk.
"Your excellency," he continued.

the latter hurried past him to his

from the following letter. which 1 re.

! N|VE ERS|Ty ID EXPLORE THE
 FLATHEAD

MISSOULA. Mont, July 8. - A sci entific exploration of Flathead lake, in the northwestern section of the state. is to be undertaken this summer by the biological station of the Uni yersity of Montana. The lake mas hitherto never been fully explored, al though its extent has been known for many years. Last year a beginning was made in this work.
 This year the university authorities are to have the assistance and CO., operation of the state fish commission, which is particularly interested in the kind and food values of the fish in the lake. As much as possible the exploration will be completed this year, the remainder being left until 1917.
 Chief attention will be given to the depth of the lake, character of It's bottom, the nature of the shores, swamps and shallow areas, the tur- biditv and temperature of the water at all depths, and the gases it may hold in solution.
 A study will also be made of the animal and vegetable life with spec ial reference to its value as food for fishes. Inquiry will then be made into the parasites and other foes ol fish life. The state fish commission is interested in this phase of the in- vestigation.
 Flathead lake is the largest body of water in the state. It is about 35 miles long and f5 miles wide at the widest point It is the source of the Flathead river.

WORK ON POWER CO.
 DAM

Work which will entail the expen- diture of at least 5000, this morning was begun on the dam of the Cordova Power Company. It is planned by the management to thoroughly repair the structure, and clean out the reservoir. The walls will be replanged, new ce- ment placed on the bottom and sides and all the small leaks stopped.
 A crew of eight men is now work ing on the dam, and it is expected that the work will be finished within week or ten days.
 During the progress of the work 1t will be necessary at times to empty all the water from the dam, and dur ing that period there will be no lights during the daylight hours. At night, however, Manager Greene announces, the service will be continued by steam power.
 While the dam is being repaired, the work of cutting the trees along the power line, which are liable to fall across the wires, will be con tinued, and it is expected that within the next several weeks the plant will be in the best possible condition.

CORFU PROSPERS AT EXPENSE
 OF SERBS

CORFU, Greece, July l. - Cores
 pondenCe of the Associated Press.) -
 The "Corfiotes," as the Greeks call the inhabitants of the island of Corfu, are out to make their fortunes during
 the brief sojourn of the 150,000 Serbs and some 50,OO0 French, British, Ital- ians and Greeks, strangers to the is- land The Corfiotes are of Venetian
 blood - descendants of a long line of pirates and corsairs - and possessed of a romanticism which enables them instead merely of doubling their
 prices, to put them up ten times - and smile blandly about 1t,
 The Serbs came ont of Albania with ragged uniforms and blankets. They
 had to buy everything new, and the Corfiotes was there to furnish it. The Serbs are well paid (out of the cof- fers of the entente ) and it is impos- sibie for them to send money home to their families even if they want to. Consequently, the Corfiote asks what ever price he likes and the Serb, hay
 ng nothing else to do with the money, generally pays it. The readiest get rich-quick operations in Corfu, how ever, were speculative, not conner cial. When the Serbs arrived on the island a beaten army without a cOun- try, what they brought with them in the shape of money was largely Serb ian paper currency. The Corfiotes generally would not accept it, but a few wise heads had the real instinct of their trading ancestors and bought the Se,,..n paper in at 37 centimes tho dindl, a depreciation of 63 per c1-.t When the allies decided to .,U-ran-ee the reconquest. of Serbia anI the refitting of the Serbian army began in earnest, there was a boom | in Serbian paper. Instead of 37 cen tines the dinar, it brought 90, and fin ally, for all practical purposes, par. In a few weeks those who had bought | at 37 had almost doubled their capital. |
