,ry of a California Tree.

Mr.. Dudley wrote of the remarkable
recuperative power of some of the
great trees in the basin after they had
been injured by a fire, and then he
continued:
"Among a number of similar cases
the most instructive record of these
ancient forest fires was observed In
n tree of moderate size-about fifteen
feet In diameter, five feet from the
ground. It was 270 feet in height and
2,171 years old.
"The history of the tree was as fol-
lows:
"B. @. 271 1t began its existence.
The first year of the Christian era 1t
was about four feet in diameter above
the base. A. D. 245, at five hundred
and sixteen years of age, a burning
three feet wide occurred on the trunk.
One hundred and five years were occu-
MED in covering this wound with a
new tissue. For 1,196 years no
further injuries were registered. A.
d. 1441, at 1712 years of age, the tree
was burned the second time in two
long grooves, one and two feet wide
respectively. Each had its own system
of repair.
"One hundred and thirty-nine years
of growth followed, including the time
of covering the wounds. A. d. 1880,
Mt 1851 years of age occurred another
fire, causing burn on the trunk two
feet wide which took fifty-six years to
cover with new tissue. Two hundred
and seventeen years of growth fol-
lowed this burn. A. d. 1897, when the
tree was 206s years old, tremendous
fire attacked 1t burning great scar
eighteen feet wide. One hundred and
three years enabled the tree to reduce
the exposed area of the burn to about
fourteen feet in width"

was found by the scientists that

One of the most beautiful views

window in the dining room of a
Poison hotel, which, looks out
across Flathead lake with a dotted
line of islands in the foreground.
Of course, neither towns, coun-
ties, or states can be built up on
scenery alone, and fortunately for
the new county of Lake, it has rich
agricultural lands and a wealth of
timber to support it.
Within the last decade nearly all
the new counties in Montana have
been organized on the east side OF
the state, for the reason that new
settlers have, come into that sec
ton more than into the western
area.
The town of Poison itself was

day it has both railroad and water
transportation at its command.
Three miles from this beautiful
little city is one of the greatest un-
developed water powers IN the

government, but which some time
undoubtedly will be harnessed and
convert Poison into a power city.
There are several good towns

St. Ignatius and Ronan.that ire up

surrounding them.
Tn fact, it'would seem that few
counties in Montana have set up
their own local governments with
brighter prospects than this new
county of Lake has before it.

Reduces Road Costs

A new and inexpensive process of
constructing grave1-surfaced high
ways, employed by M. L. O'Neil ,sroad
builder in Gascade county for, the
State highway commission, is attract
ing much attention for its services
ability and economy. !
The aim of the process is to elm
mate non-uniformity and the exist
ence of occasional soft spots IN roads
by grading the material on the high
way in an inexpensive manner. In
this grading advantage is taken of
the fact that larger stones always roll
to the foot of a gravel pile. Conse-
quently, if a gravel pile is advanced
progressively across the road, the lar
ger stones continually rolling to the
foot of thespile will place~them auto
matically at the bottom,s while the.
finer material is drawn 0yer.them tor

Mr.. O'Neil is now experimenting
with the process in Cascade county

has produced some remarkable re-
suits.

confines, and this irrigation scheme
is now in good way to be com
pleted.
Lake county is we'll named, for a
large portion of it borders on Flat
head lake, one of the most beauti-
full inland bodies of water in the
United States.
The enterprising city of Poison
is most picturesquely located, and
has the unique distinction Of being
the largest seaport in Montana, and
with its docks and steamers along
side, it has all the appearance of
a little ocean harbof.
Montana IS blessed with much
unsurpassed mountain, forest and
scenery, but for the most part
it is a little short of what may. be
termed "waterscapes" in contra
distinction from landscapes.

Cruise accepted, and with his

work, He managed to make just
fair pay out of his diggings. He
noticed that the gold that he took
from the bedrock Of his claim was
frequently attached to a peculiar
quartz. He spoke to Brown about
the circumstances, and expressed
the opinion that somewhere in the
neighborhood was a mother lode
of gold quartz, the source of these
specimens. Cruise determined to
prospect for the quartz, and invited
Brown to be his partner.
No Faith in Quartz
But Brown, was a placer miner,
and did not believe in quartz, or in
mining. theory. He believed that
gold was where one found it. He
considered that quartz mining was
a'game for the man with money,
and that placer mining afforded the
only opportunity for the poor man.
"What will you do with quartz
when you find it?" he asked Cruise.
"You will have to have money
with which to build a mill, and to
pay the miners for getting out the
ore. I'll stick to my placer claim.
You can have the quartz"
Soshe threw away his chance to
make a great fortune. Cruise went

hard work he found the mother
lode, but as is we'll known, the
water drove him out. Then he

what business was in hand, every
thing had to give way to the
bearded prospector from Silver.
He always had right of way to
Cruse's consideration.
Cruise bought Browns gold dust,
the cleanup of his placer. 1t is re-
lated that Cruise always overpaid
the prospector. Finally he was re-
c%eiving such a high price for his
dust that he became suspicious. On
the occasion of his next visit to
Cruse's bank, he took the precau-
ton to have his dust weighed be-
fore he rendered it to Cruise.
When Cruise paid him for the
dust he looked up his figures and
found that he had overpaid him
$500.

Brown Learns Truth
Of course, Cruise could not tell
him that he had overpaid him pur-
posely. That would have spoiled
everything. But after that Brown
would sell no more gold dust to
Cruise. He told some of his placer
miner friends about the incident.
These men had been selling their
gold to Cruise and had found him
a good close bargainer. They told
him so.

A new name has appeared on the
horizon of the sports world.
10y j. Molumby!
Unless all signs fail, MOlumby
will prove to be the Tex Richard OF
the west.
Word comes that Molumby has
succeeded in getting the consent of
Jack the Giant Killer Dempsey
himself-to meet Tommy Gibbons
-himself-in combat at Shelby
on July 4. \ ~
1t has been two years since Jack
fought for his title. Two years to
the day since he climbed through
the ropes at Boyle's Thirty Acres,
New Jersey, to manhandle Georges
Carpenter. -
Everyone knows about Jack, how
ever, so here's some dope on Molum-

Is Legion Commander
He is the state commander of the
American Legion of Montana, and
has been t~ireless in his efforts to land
the Dempsey match. His one ambi-
ton just at this time is to see com
pleted a veterans hospital for dis
abled former service men. The law
of the state requires that so per cent
of all boxing show net proceedssshall
go to the state fund for a veterans,
hospital. Hence Molumby's anxiety.
Molumby, with assistance of bust
ness men in Shelby and Great Falls,
raised $4,000 to meet the guaran-
tees of 100000 required by Demp-
sey and $4,000 by. Gibbons.
When Molumby left Great. Falls
recently for Chicago for the purpose
of signing up the fighters he had a
draft for $110,0 in the plane in
which he flew with Earl Vance, avia-
tor.
On the very day Molumby reached
Salt Lake City the executive commit
tee of the state legion sent out word
from Helena opposing his (Molum-
by's) action.

and Tommy have agreed to the match
