'paign in eliminating wheat rust is
attested by the fact that not a single
local appearance of rust has been
noted this season." Mr.. Christopher
adds. II regard this as conclusive
evidence that the destruction of the
barberry bushes will result in a COM
plete checking of black rust losses"
Government figures for 1921 show
that Montana farmers lost 10000
bushels of wheat last year as a re-
suit of the ravages of rust. In 1920
the damage included 100000 bu-
shells of barley.
To impress the general public with
the importance of the barberry Grad
ication campaign and familiarize
farmers with the characteristics of
the bush, the government will send
exhibits to the Midland Empire fair
at Billings, September 1922, and to
the state fair at Helena, September
$3.50. The exhibits are intended to
enlist public interest so that II any
bushes are overlooked by the federal
men they may be destroyed by pri-
vate citizens upon whose properties
they may be growing.

Owing to the thoroughness of the
barberry eradication campaign there
was no damage from black stem rust
In the state this year, according to
w. M. Christopher, director of the
United States department of agricul-
ture survey in Montana.
In submitting an informal report
to the conference for the prevention
of rust, national organization with
headquarters at Minneapolis, Mr..
Christopher says that up to Septem-
Der l, only three black rust pustules
had been found in the state this sea-
son, though climatic conditions were
ideal for heavy rust epidemic.

dishwashers, chambermaids, drivers,
hostlers and q score Of other various
occupational employees, It was dis
covered that the door Of the large
safe. containing the tickets, refused
to yield to its accustomed combina-
ton. After every known amateur
safe opening method had been un-
successful. Lindner was called from
Helena. He soon had the safe open.
Lindner states that in nine cases
out Of 10 he has been able to open
the most stubborn safe by feeling
for the several combination clicks
with the tips of the fingers, which
are sand-papered down almost to
the nerve ends. In this case, how
ever, he was compelled to drill into
the combination and thus effect an
entrance.
In the combination of the park
safe Lindner found an ordinary pin.
How 1t got there is a mystery. His
plausible explanation is that It fell
from the clothing of workman at
the time the mechanism was being
assembled in the factory, and that it
remained in harmless position until
a sudden and heavy slam of the door
Jared it down and pinned up the
works.

The girl became i'll several days

serious until recently. It was thought
at first that she might have been bit

been found to support this assump-
ton. Food is being administered

According to one of the directors
of the company which is promoting
the new hotel for Butte, the work of
tearing down the old Finlen hotel
will be finished within 80 days and
construction of the new $1,000
structure begun before cold weather
sets in.
The reason for the delay and the
report that nothing had been done
by the directors since the proposition
took life several weeks ago, according
to the director, is due to the fact
that several plans have been submit
ted and it has been necessary to in
terview many contractors and build
ers in all parts of the country with
view to accepting the best PROPOSE
ton.
Whether the original plan, that of
tearing down the garage adjoining
the Finlen hotel on the east, and con-
structing a building on the entire
plot of ground secured by the COM
pany, will go through is not known,
and it is possible that just the Fin
len will be torn down and 175-room
hotel built on that site and an annex
constructed later should the COM
pany SO desire. The company has a
two-year option ON the property
where the garage IL located.
The director. who will also be con-
nected with the management Of the
new hotel. was emphatic in his state
ment that within 80 days the old Fin
len would be . thing Of the past and
that work would be started ON the
! new structure.

It's inception when young Pike Miller
returned on q visit to his Missouri
home, from sheep ranch in Mon

was q few years old. Here he grew
until, at fourteen. his father moved
back to the city, to Charles great
disgust. He repeatedly ran away to
his former country home, causing his
parents considerable anxiety. Then
came Pike Miller with fascinating
tales of the beautiful Judith Basin
region in Montana. Charlie begged
his fathers permission to return with
him, with the result that a happy
boy made the then roundabout jour-
ney via railroad to Red Rock, Idaho,
thence by stage to Helena, Montana.
Here pike purchased three horses and
Charlie one, wagon was added and
the outfit started over the trails to
Judith Basin where Pike and part
ner had bought a sheep ranch the
previous year. For several months
Charlie served there as chore boy,
