Mrs. Rose Barrett is a Montana
woman who will be remembered as
the executive of the Montana War
renton company, and who resided
in Great Falls for a number OF
years. She has made remarkable
success in building up the seaport
city of Warrenton, near the mouth
of the Columbia river, and her
ability was signally recognized re-
Gently when she was made city
manager of WarrentOn. The Bos-
ton Post recently published her in
teresting story, and here it is:
There were no newspapers to an.
nounce her birth. The nearest rail
road was hundred and eighty miles
away-eight days by ox-team.
But the news of little Roses COM
ing Travelled like the wind. BY the
time she was a week old, thousands
of Indians were camped around the
Tyler home, curious to see the first
white baby. The Indian women in
toned mysterious prophesies as they
measured her tiny feet with their
fingers, and beaded her enough moe
casins to last several lifetimes.
That was thirty-five years ago.
Since then Rose Tyler's feet have car
ried her a long way from the little
sod house and the bed of roses. To-
day, as Mrs. r. E. Barrett (she pre-
fers the initials, as she says the name
Rose never suited herr, she is the
of a growing port city
Oregon.

post could not last indefinitely, ever
if the money was available to buy /
| at twenty-five dollars a cord, t,
which price it had risen. Meanwhile,
| the chinook blew and blew.
| The streets dried and became pas
sable, when it was noticed the ice ii
the river gave signs of weakening
| and it soon became dangerous t.
cross it, and communication with the
| other side was cut Off At length
the ice began to break up, and it was
hoped the river would be clear
| enough to permit the ferry to operate
before many days.
Then came the startling news neaI
nightfall of lovely spring-like day
that the valleys of the Teton and
Marias rivers were flooded, and an
ice gorge had formed in the Missouri
above the town. The business sec.
ton of Fort Benton, and many of its
homes were situated on low ground
but little above the river at high
water. If the gorge did not give
way, this part of the town would GER
tainly be washed away.
Had we been saved from freezing
now to be drowned? 1t certainly
looked like it. My own home would
be in the direct course of the flood
that was imminent if the gorge re-
sisted much longer the hammering
of the great blocks of ice that swept
down against it. These, arrested in
their progress, piled up and helped to
strengthen the dam.
Many, who like ourselves lived in
the lowlands, fled to higher ground
for safety. Among these was Colonel
James Stanford, his wife and infant
son. We foolishly remained. Again
we numbered three families, who de-
cided to brave the flood together, as
we had formerly endured the cold.
But we did not sleep-only the chill
dren slept, happily unconscious of
the danger-while we awaited calm
ly whatever fate had in store for us,
not because we were courageous; it
was the thought of how cold and
it must be out there
on the hills, and we had been cold
so long.
We sat about the fire indulging in
gloomy suggestions. of what might
happen. AS our house was at the
upper end of town, it was near the
gorge. Every few minutes one of
the men left our circle to go to the
narrow place between the hills where
the gorge had formed, looked it over,
and returned to give us his opinion
Of the situation.
But our men were not the only
ones who were anxiously watching
he rising water. Those others, whose
wives and children were in safety on
he hillsides, knew if the flood came
t would sweep away their homes and |
LII they contained. AS for our group |
by the fireside, it never occurred to |
is that should the gorge break, it |
would be impossible for any one to |
warn us in time to permit of our es-
,aping. We thoroughly enjoyed the !
Hiss of ignorance, which in this case !!
meant comfort, and roof over our
leads other than the sky.
Some time after midnight the lat
sst visitor to the gorge fastened |
Jack with the joyful news that the
ce had given way; the river running
rec, and all danger was over. On
rearing this, the refugees on the hills
vent back to their homes and for |
ew hours until morning came, the
weary citizens of Fort Benton slept |
peacefully after their long vigil.

lions and tigers although its effect
on these animals has not yet been
tested.
Range in All Sections
The value of catnip oil in attract
ing bobcats is especially valuable as
these fierce cats range over the whole
United States. The mountain lions
are restricted to small areas in the
west. During the past year, game in
the national parks as we'll as sheep
and cattle have been seriously men
aced by bobcats and mountain lions.
In the new process of distillation
the catnip oil is diluted with oil of
petroleum without diminishing the
odor. The odor is carried over miles
of forest areas by a slight wind. Dur
ing the winter when the big cats can
get no catnip in its natural state the
oil is especially effective. Expert
ments prove that both lions and cats
have travelled miles at the faintest
whiff of the oil.

Italian Aqueduct
Longest in World

The Apulian aqueduct building in
Italy will be, when completed, The
longest in the world, though not of
the greatest capacity. Several of the
provinces which form the regions
known as Apulla and Basilicata have
suffered through the ages from lack
Of water; and their geographical posi-
tion and geological formation are such
that the only remedy lay in bringing
water to them from the western side
Of the Apennines.
law providing for the construction
of the aqueduct was enacted in 1902 /;
and the work was begun in 1905 ac-
cordlng to plans prepared by Italian
engineers. The undertaking entailed
the building of main aqueduct about
40 miles long, of which over sixty
miles had TO be carried through the
Apennines in tunnels. From the main
aqueduct spreads a network of sub
sldiary branches having total length
of one thousand miles. This will carry
water to five provinces and supply the
needs of two and one-half million
people.-Compressed Air Magazine.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Should =
Use Swsmp-Root

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that
they have the disease. DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root is on sale at all drug stores
in bottles Of two sizes, medium and large
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation, send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing, be sure
and mention this observation-disclosures.
