make it necessary for the central pow CTS to continue to maintain a large military force on the border to guard against an offensive from the other element.
 Therefore, it is hoped that the mill tary situation will not change ma terially for the worse for the entente powers and America as a result of these latest developments. If any con- siderable portion of the Russian army can be kept in the trenches the ad- vent of winter will operate to pre- vent the German troops who face them from taking advantage of any temporary weakness to start an of fensiVe.

HOW RUSSIAN SITUATION
 IS VIEWED AT WASHINGTON
MaximaIists Are Only Small Section
 of the Russian People.

Washington, Nov. S.-Discourage- 1nent felt here over the news of the overthrow of the Kerensky government nt Petrograd is tempered by hope that the extreme radicals who have seized the capital may not be able to extend their control over the army or any considerable part of the country. How ever, it is feared that much blood must be shed and the nation further demoralized before any power rises above the turmoil strong enough to control the situation
 No Official Advices.
 Both the state department and the Russian embassy still were without official advices tonight. Consequently there was no official comment on the situation Informally it was pointed out that with the telegraph lines and the semi-ofncia1 news agency at Pe- 5t would be difficult to learn the true state of affairs.
 New Power May Be Short Lived.
 The suggestion that the new power at Petrograd may be short-lived is based to an extent upon the fact that in Russia, though extremely jealous of their own local liberties, always have been reckoned upon to support a strong conservative government. It if Kerensky, fleeing from the capital, should be able to bring to his sup port General Korniloff, the strong man of the Russian army. with his CosSack packers, he might set up new and stronger government at Moscow, where he could count upon the loyalty of a majority of the large population of that ancient capital
 Hope Placed In KorniIoff.
 An obstacle to the success of such Q plan Is found in the possibility that Korniloff, embittered by the treatment he had received at the hands of Ke- rcr1slzy when the latter was vacillat- ing between the radicals and the con seryatives. might refuse to risk his future upon such an uncertain leader. Some officials think this compromising by Kerenslzy was largely responsible for his disaster
 Recalling that even the Bolshevikis themselves have declared for "a demo- cratic peace, which is opposed to the German idea" it is believed to be hardly possible that on this basis Ger many could entertain proposals from tl-e Maximalists for either a peace or Rn armfstice
 Maxinaalists a Small Section.
 It is pointed out, too, that even if the Germans did make separate peace with the Maximalists, the fact that this party represents only a small becticn of the Russian people would

ern Montana began to sit up and take
notice, and all eyes were soon cen
tered on Modora and the de Mores
packing plant, Or abbatoir, as he
insisted upon it's being called He az
ranged to have the then exclusive
Palmer House in Chicago use his
meat and advertise the fact that ii
came from the Marquis de Mores' alb
batoir, and planned to market his
meats as de luxe product for use by
the discriminating epicure.
However,, the Marquis little under
stood the most obvious principles of
the cattle and packing business, and
one of his first big mistakes was a
contract entered into with the Hash
knife Cattle company for the delivery
OF 5000 cattle at his packing plant
at the rate Of 1000 a month for a
period Of six months. delivery to
start in June, when the beef were in
their poorest condition.
Long before the packing plant was
completed, de Mores imported a corps
of butchers from the east, and for a
considerable period they drew fancy
wages while engaged in extremely
light occupations, such as seven-up
and stud poker, with little profit to
their employer. The men handling
his cattle purchases for him were
usually selected more for some per-
sonal traits which the marquis ad-
mired than for their knowledge of
the business for which their efforts
were required, with the result that
the shrewd stockmen with whom they
dealt usually came out on the long
end of the deal.
Packing Business Improbable.
The result was that probably 90
per cent Of the cattle purchased by
de Mores were not slaughtered at all,
but were shipped to the eastern
stockyards , where, by reason of their
condition, they brought considerably
less than they had cost the marquis.
In short time the packing plant was
out of business and the marquis was
devoting his energies to stock raising
instead of packing.
Another difficulty encountered by
de Mores was his inability to under
stand the laws and customs of the
west, for instance, in regard to &C
curing title to land. He appeared
to be imbued with an idea that all
that was necessary in the way of pro-
cedure to take permanent possession
of a tract of land was to stake it
out, something in the manner of a
person taking up mining claim,
and afterWard to fence it. This
caused an unpleasantness which led
to shooting scrape in which the
marquis figured.
1t happened that the marquis, in
his guileless manner, fenced a piece
of land at the mouth of coulee in
such a manner that it obstructed a
recognized trail. One day a local

Great excitement has been created
i'll the Butte district over the opening
up at the Hibernia mine of the Davis
DAILY company of body of mangan-
csc ore. 1t has a width of 100 feet
and between 100000 and million
tons OF ore is in sight and being
blocked out This is right at or close
to the surface and can be handled by
the quarry system of open cut min
ing
w. l.. Creden, general manager of
the Davis DAILY company, has gone
east to close contracts with big steel
concerns for the disposal of this ore.
Two of the largest steel companies
are negotiating for the entire output.
The demand for manganese has in
creased tremendously and the price
offered promises to make this mine
bigger profit-payer than the Colo
RADIO mine of the company, which is
turning out high grade copper ore.
Arrangements have already been
made by the Davis Daily company
with the Butte Detroit company, by
which the latter will handle the ores
at it's mill in Butte. 1t has capacity
for handling ores sufficient to give
200 tons Of concentrates per day.
These concentrates it is understood
will net, with the present market
price OF manganese, a daily profit to
Davis DAILY of from $4,000 to $1,000.
In addition to the ore body on the
Hibernia claim, body of manganese
has been found in the New Republic
claim close by. This also belongs to
the Davis DAILY company. This body
of ore is said to far exceed in size
that in the Hibernia.
The opening of these two bodies of
manganese has started a hunt in
scores of claims in the West Butte
district and it is expected that Butte
will soon rank in the production of
manganese where it does i'm the pro-
ductiOn of copper, zinc and silver, at
the head of any similar sized district
in the world.

they are unusual is because they are
self-taught from the great book Of
life, and both have grasped some Of

But in spite of his reading and his
meditations, Johnny Matheson's real
interest in life lay in his pilgrimages
along the prairie roads and the trails
that skirted the mountains, where a
man has always the inspiration of
the mysteries of daybreak and
nghtfall and the stars and the
rain and the sunshine, and when
he could no longer throw down
his blankets on the prairie beside his
outfit and sleep beneath the sky, he
began to chafe at the restraint and
at the changed conditions that were
transforming the open prairies he
had known and loved into agricul-
tural communities. AS the faces of
his old friends began to disappear in
recent years, Johnny Matheson felt
that he was ready to go with them.
When the end came, he welcomed it.
