BLACK RUST DOES
LITTLE DAMAGE
ONLY THREE APPEARANCES
HAVE BEEN NOTED, SHOW
ING RESULT OF CAMPAIGN
Results Are Obtained from Eradica-
ton of Barberry Bushes in Mon
tana and Adjoining States; More
Educational Work is to be Done
Along the Same Line.

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, a national organization with
at Minneapolis, Mr..
Christopher says that up to Septem-
Der /, only three black rust pustules
had been found in the state this sea-
son, though climatic conditions were
ideal for heavy rust epidemic.

Just one little ordinary pin tied up
the departure of a number of en-
ployes of the Mammoth Hot Springs
in Yellowstone Park for their homes,
according to the story told by John
P. Lindner of Helena, who is an ex-
pert safe opener.
1t is the custom of the concession
companies to purchase homeward
bound transportation for their en-
ploves some time in advance of the
closing of the season. Those living
furthest away are started home first,
and those living close by are held un-
til the actual closing.
When the time came for the de-
parture of the first of the employees,
which include curio salesladies,
clerks, mattresses, cooks, pantry girls,
dishwashers, chambermaids, drivers,
hostIers and 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 I'M
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 it got there is mystery His
plausible explanation is that 1t fell
from the clothing of a 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.
Girl Has Lockjaw
Mary Carter, 8-year-old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry S. Carter of |
Anaconda, lies at her home in a
serious condition while local physi-
clans are endeavoring to diagnose her
case. Mary's tongue is apparently
paralyzed and her jaw locked
The girl became i'll several days
ago, but her condition did not become
serious until recently. 1t was thought
at first that she might have been bit
ten by a tick, but no evidence has
been found to support this assump-
ton. Food is being administered
through tubes.

paign in eliminating wheat rust is
attested by the fact that not single
local appearance of rust has been
noted this season." Mr.. Christopher
adds. Il regard this as conclusive
evidence that the destruction of the
barberry bushes will result in COM
plete checking of black rust losses"
Government figures for 1921 show
that Montana farmers lost 100000
bushels of wheat last year as re-
suit of the ravages of rust. In 1920
the damage included 1,397,000 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
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 If any
bushes are overlooked by the federal
men they may be destroyed by pri-
vate citizens upon whose properties
they may be growing.

BEGIN WORK ON
NEW BUTTE HOTEL
OLD FINLEN, LANDMARK OF THE
COPPER CAMP, TO BE TORN
DOWN IN 80 DAYS
Construction of Million Dollar Struc-
ture to be Begun Before the Snow
Flies; First Plans for HosteIry
of IT'S Rooms May Give Way to
Building Bigger Block.

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 $1,0OO,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
two-year option on the property
where the garage is 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.

nungry-such hunger as only heal
thy fifteen-year-old youngster can
know.
Suddenly man appeared. He was
rough-looking stranger and rough
in speech.
Hello, kid, what you dom here?'
he asked.
"Campin' was the brave reply.
"Campin'! Where in helPs your
grub?"
tAin't got any
"Well, then, you'd better move
your camp and join me. I've got
plenty of grub" said this benefactor
heartily.
He was Jake Hoover, a trapper,
who fortunately for the lad had a
camp near by. Seeing the latter's
fire he had set out to investigate,
like any woodsman. Jake was a
friend in need to Charles Marion Rus
sell and it was in Hoover's cabin that
the now famous artist whiled away
many idle winter days trying to pic
ture the splendid scenery about him
with the crude equipment at hand, an
ordinary school set of water colors
of inferior grade. For several years
the cabin meant home to him. He
earned money by herding cattle.
If careers may be the outcome of
certain events, Russell's career had
its inception when young Pike Miller
returned on a visit to his Missouri
home, from a sheep ranch in Mon
tana. The Russells were a Missouri
family. Pixies father and CHARLES"
father were friends. Charlie was
born in ST. Louis in 1865, the third
of six children. One brother and a

Their that the artist thinks he inner
tied his talent. His father, a sue
cessful manufacturer of fire brick,
moved to the country when the boy
was a few years old. Here he grew
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 |
MS fathers permission to return with |
him, with the result that a happy

MINING PROSPECTS
NOW LOOK BRIGHT
PRESIDENT AMERICAN MINING
ENGINEERS OPTIMISTIC ON
VISIT TO BUTTE
Lead Has Maintained Good Price for
Long ime, While Market for Cop
per is Picking Up; Silver Situation
Satisfactory Because of Premium
ON American-mined Metal.

Prospects for prosperous future
in the mining industry of the coun-
try are very bright at this time, in
the opinion of Arthur S. Dwight, pre-
sident of the American Institute of
Mining and Metallurgical Engineers,
who, with delegation of prominent
engineers and their wives, arrived in
Butte as guests of the Montana
branch of the institute. They were
en- route to San Francisco, where
they will attend the annual conven-
ton of the institute, which is to be
held there from September "a to 80,
inclusive.
The visitors included some of the
foremost engineers in the United
States, some of whom in years past
have been connected with mining
projects in Montana. Both President
Dwight and Secretary o. F. Sharp
less have an intimate acquaintance
with Montana mining, having been
actively engaged in this part of the
country on other occasions.
Everywhere we have been, there
is every indication of prosperous
future in mining lines" President
Dwight said LEAD has always been
good, while the market for copper is
picking up. The steel industry has
been seriously affected by strikes,
but the production of silver has been
helped considerably because of the
premium that is being paid on the
American-mined product"
AS a reason for the lead market
remaining fairly stable, President
Dwight said it was caused by the fact
that there was comparatively no sur
plus stock on the market at the time
the war ended.

Common sense should prevail at all
times on the part of the auto driver.
The great danger on the road is in
passing another, either when meeting
one or passing one on the highway.
Last week an accident happened west
of town toward Springfield when a
doctor, who had been making a pro-
fessional call, ran into a dark car
parked by the roadside. This of
course happened at night, when dang
er in driving is greatly increased,
This collision could have been avoided
by the proper parking of the car or
even by leaving the lights on. Too
much care cannot be taken when stop
ping on we'll travelled road. Traffic
laws are of little use unless observed,
ana there are plenty Of cases too that
no law can provide for. Always drive

caution with the thought in mind that
perhaps the other fellow is driving
recklessly.-Sbeepy Eye Herald-Dis-
