A PLAIN STEAL.-The U. S. bu-
reau of standards has shown up the
attempt Of the gas, company to bunk
Chicago. The city is asked to sub
stitute the British thermal unit test
for the candle power test. The plan
was made to appear plausible by the
company offering to reduce the rate
from 80 cents to sliding scale of
rates from Is to IS cents, the higher
rate being for small consumers, of
course. Uncle Sans report is that
instead Of reducing the price the
company actually proposes to raise
it, because it would take more of the
new gas to do the same work that
the old gas does now. In other words
the new gas ought to sell for sc
cents In order to get as much heat
out of 1000 cubic feet as we now get
out of !, 200 feet at 80 cents.
What none of the reports tell,
however, is that the reason for want
ing to get rid of the candle. power
test is that the gas company's game
is to get the new gas as a by-pro-
duct from the manufacture of coke,
at cost of less than 10 cents for
1000 cubic feet.
Any way you put it, the game was
to rob the public.

A GAY OLD GIRL.-The story of
that English scandal is mystifying.
The woman involved is Mrs. Corn
wallis-West, mother of the Princess
of PIess. The man is Lieut.: Patrick
Barrett, who. had been a sergeant,
but was. promoted after Mrs. Corn
wallis-West took a more than ordi-
nary interest in him. 1t appeared
that the lieutenant repUlsed her, and
she turned on him-as they say the
scorned woman will. Then she used
her influence with the army higher
ups and got the lieutenant trans
ferred to another command. After
investigation the rich society woman
was rebuked by the report. So far
the story might be clear enough. We
might guess what was humanity back
of that more than ordinary inter
est" the society woman took in the
young army officer But the news
story, in. giving her pedigree, says
she was married in 1872 to William
CORVALLIS CornwaIlfs-West. Now
get your pencil. If she were only, 20
when she got married in 1872, that
would make her birth year 1852, and
her age in 1916 at least Ga. Some
age for a gay lotharioess, one would
naturally think. But then, the Eng
lish are a hardy race. While there
is life there is hope.

NEW MONTANA MAP

The Muscular is just in receipt of
the new sectional map of Montana,
that has been prepared by the George
Engineering company of Dillon. This
is the first real map of the state that
has ever been published and should
prove a most valuable source of in
formation to the schools, libraries and
newspaper offices of the state.
The map shows the various forest
reserves, railroads, Indian reserva-
tons, land districts, railroads and prin-
cipal wagon roads, and in addition has
extended the entire public land surveys
by township and range.
The new map of Montana is hand
somely gotten up in colors and sub
stantially mounted for office or school
use. 1t would seem most desirable, if
the publishers could get out popular
edition of the map, so that it could
be placed within. the reach of every
home in the state.
We have seen no map of Montana
that compares with the present work
of the Dillon engineers.

MILWAUKEE, FINISHES
ELECTRICAL WORK

The Milwaukee will start operating
electric trains over the whole of the
! electrifcation section of the road from
Avery to HarloWtown tomorrow. The
work as far west as Avery, Idaho. and
Roland. Idaho, has been completed and
the motors will now pull both passen-
ger and freight trains the entire route
The wires were tested yesterday, and
a motor run over the line from East
Portal to Avery proved the work OF
electrifying the system on the extreme
west end of the electric division to be
thoroughly satisfactory. The Mil
waukee has now completed the work OF
electrifying its lines over the Rocky
and Bitter Root mountains, Il stretch
of 44O miles.
According to officials of the road
the success of identification is I'M
qualified. The experiment was under
taken Is months ago and attracted
considerable attention in the railroad
world.
The merits of electrical locomotives
as compared to the steam engines are
many, according to the Milwaukee Of
ficials.
Less than one third as many loco
motives are required. The electrical
locomotive can run indefinitely with
out inspection, while the fires of a
steam locomotive must be overhauled
after n 100 mile run. The cost of
maintaining numerous terminals is
abolished.
Electric trains can handle heavier
trains in faster time. This gives bet
| ter service, gives opportunity to each
train crew to do more and makes all
/ handling costs cheaper.
Water tanks and coal docks must be
| maintained for the steam engines
These are now dispensed with. The
| thousands of cars necessary to haul
the company coal may now be used
| for other purposes.
There is an enormous improvement
in the service in the winter time When
it is cold, it is difficult to get up steam
and to keep it up. All delays on the

DEER STATISTICS ARRIVE
Supervisor Koch Gives Start
ling Figures Showing De- !.
ceraSe Of Wild Game.

A~soAS ANoShs oupSINASOT OL the AOIC
national forest, has compiled interest.
ing figures showing the increased
slaughter of deer during the last few
years and suggesting means of better
protecting the deer Of the forest. Mr.
Koch says:
The number of deer killed on the
1olo national forest has just been
compiled from the reports of the for
est rangers. Their reports indicate
that ST. deer We're killed last fall on
the forest, which includes Lolo creek
and all of the Occur d'Alene branch
country west to the Idaho line. The
Quartz district led in the number
killed with a total of 2S1. IN the Lolo
district there were 127 killed, in the
Irenchtown district Ga, Superior dis
trict 1874. st. Regis district 1923, and
Hangar district II.
These figures while not absolutely
exact are very close approximations,
as they are based on figures obtained
by the rangers from hunters, railroad
agents, storekeepers, stage drivers,
proprietors of hunting resorts, and
other residents in position to have
accurate information.
The number of deer killed annually
has doubled since the hunting season
was extended to December Is. The
records for the Lolo forest which
have been kept for four years show
that in 1913 there were 4O5 deer killed
and in 1914, 42S. The change in the
season took effect in 1915 and that
year there were s39 deer killed, and
In 1915, s12. Most of the rangers es-
Innate that from 20 to 30 per cent OF
the deer killed last fall were shot in
the last Is days OF the open season
The deep snow drives the deer down
and makes them easily approached sc

tered like cattle.

shorter season may save them, but tn,
surest way would be the creation o.
game preserves covering the more i'm.

as the South Fork of Fish creek ant
the country around st. Regis. Tn,
