Inasmuch as the girl is only 10
years old, she could not legally be
arraigned in Police Court, 1t was
said.
An attempt to obtain money to
pay for her mothers operation, was
the explanation given by the girl.
She lives with her mother and
brother at 922 Fourteenth st. N. w.

her algebra lesson, there came
battering at the door of the flat
occupied by the girl and her mother.
Then the dry squad broke in and

DR. Cook said. and hence had little
incentive TO settle down and develop
crop plants and domestic animals. The
PeruvianS however. had from 60 to 20
species of plants under cultivation and
had domesticated such indigenous ami

Of the Incas. who occupied the coun-

quest.
The land suitable for cultivation was
largely confined to deep. narrow VAL
leys. the bottoms of which were rocky
stream beds The ancient. vanquished
people actually altered the courses OF
the streams and improved the land by
terraces. constructed with immense
labor. They made speciality OF root

Most Of these have long since entirely
disappeared from cultivation and their

Further toward the summit OF the
Andes the tillable regions become fewer

Official Estimates Thousand Unbranded
and as Many Branded but Unclaimed
Animals are at Large In District No. l,
and Consuming Feed for 1000. Cattle

ITS remarkable the way a man will
over-estimate something that is doing
him damage" commented Glenn A..
Smith of Missoula, assistant district
forester In charge of grazing. Take
the wild horse nuisance, for example.
Many an old experienced stockman has
come into the office and sw0re up and
down there were q thousand wild
horses feeding on the range he rented
from the forest service.
We'll, he thought there might be a
thousand, but when the forest service
staged a roundup in his territory, they
found maybe 1875 or $50 broomtails run
ming loose.
Not that the wild horses don't do O
lot OF damage. A horse will eat as much
as two cattle, or as much as 10 sheep
| believe there are about a thousand un-
branded bronchos running on the ranges
OF district one, and perhaps as many
more branded horses that no one really
claims. If they could be taken care Of
beyond a doubt there would be range for
1000 more cattle or 10000 more sheer
than the service Is yet ready to care for.
Wild horses are worth about SIS 0
head. That is. If sold to a slaughter
house. One firm in Butte makes a spe-
cialty of packing horse meat, most OF
which is exported to Europe"
Mr.. Smith recently received q letter
from a woman in California, asking the
number OF wild horses, burros and mules
that range in district l.. what per CEN
are branded; the value OF the feed con-
sumed that could be used by Other
stock; other damage done by the fan
tails; If they were hunted for profit, anc
II SO, what use was made of them.

A Claims in Vicinity of Zortman In
cluded In Deal Recently Closed by Nose
Zimmerman of st. Paul and Operations
VIII BE Resumed There in Near Future
The Ruby gold mines. a group OF a.
claims in the Little Rocky mountains,
have been sold by the estate of the
late Ben Phillips to Moze Zimmerman,
st. Paul capitalist, and his associates
for a cash consideration of $500, 900.
h mines have been inactive for some
time. but operations will be started
anew by the purchasers with the in
tention of producing a greater tonnage
of ore than has ever been taken out
by former owners.
The Ruby group is regarded as the
most important gold workings in al.
northern Montana and is one of the
states famous mining properties. The
purchase price was fixed at S500.0 900 ir
consideration of the fact that payment
was made in cash. Announcement thai
the deal had been closed was made BY
Mr.. Zimmerman.
The mines are now equipped with {
600-ton cyanide mill, but this will bt
replaced with a mill of 1000 tons capa,
city, MIR. zimmerman stated. The mil
is located at Zortman n a power plant
a part Of the mines equipment, is OF
the Missouri river 80 miles distant. Tht
mine is thoroughly modern in all of III
equipment n can be made ready 70,
operations with but little delay, although
a large expenditure will be made, in ad
dition to the purchase price, in con.
structing a new mill and making read,
for the reopening.
Mr.. Zimmerman said that the execu,
tive h will be in charge of operation
has not been selected, but that the per
sonnet will be organized as soon as pos
sible with the intention of placing TIT
property on an operating basis in TIL
near future.
Mr.. zimmerman was N of the earl,
entrants in the Kevin-Sunburst oil lelt
and has been identified with differen
properties there for the last five or 81
years. While he has been a heavy In
vestor in property in the field. Mr.. zim
norman has not been an operator. H

KALISPELL REDS
READY FOR RODEO
BEADED BROTHERS GIVE COLOR TO
STREETS OF FLATHEAD
METROPOLIS

"Kalispell ROdeo, July 3 and A." is
the legend which appears on the hat
bands of citizens of Kalispell, Mont,
and many of these hat bands encircle
cowboy s0mbreros which are fast APP
pearing on the streets.
indians with beaded garments have
already been seen haunting the busi-
ness district making their way hither and
yon through a picturesque scene highly
civilized in many respects, but tinged
here and there with colors of the savage.
The show committee has completed its
outline for the program of races which
will be held at the fair grounds during
both days and prizes have been set. This
program will be ready for distribution
within a few days.
A contract has Just been signed for a
pyrotechnic display which will be a spec
tacular exhibition of shells, rockets, spin
wheels, torches, and many beautiful
arena set pieces. This display will be
handle by a regular artist and the
Spirit of 76" will live again when the
rockets flare, the bombs burst, and "Old
Glory blazes from the arena. The fire.
works display will climax the celebration
on the evening of July a..
The parade committee has been busily
at work lining up the two big parades
that will be held. The first parade will
form on the morning of the 3rd and will
consist of Indians, cowboys, and riders
and will typify the spirit of the Old
West. 1t will be a characteristic from
tier procession. The float parade of the
Fourth will form at 10 in the morning
and promptly at 1890 will proceed down
the streets of the business district.
More stock than ever before is now
lined up, and with closer restrictions
placed upon entries better quality is ex-
pected to appear from the cowboy talent.
A section of the street will be roped off
on the evening Of the 3rd, and to an &C
compartment of band music, a pro-
gram Of foot-racing, dancing, Indian
dances, and athletic events will be staged
for the amusement of children and
adults. Cash prizes will be given to all
winners.
During both days, in addition to the
riding, roping, and bulldogging events
OF tn erodeo, there will be entertainment
on the streets of the city, fostered by
musical organizations.
Two ball games viii add to the general
program for the celebration and some
thing every minute is guaranteed.

A gratifying increase in the num-
her Of grizzly bears. an animal that !
extinct in many localities in which II
was formerly found. is recorded III Ola
eirr national park. according 10 Supt.
J. Z. Eakin's report.
Last fall a large grizzly with two year
Inns cubs made repeated raids on tie
larder ct camp No g. n construction
camp on The transmountain road in Lo-
gar pass she would pack OF N entire
quartor of beef apparently as easily as
II II had been a slab OF bacon. The con
tractor made no objection 10 the loss OF
the beef. but when the crew OF Russians
threatened TO walk out unless the bears
were driven away. park authorities had
to take action. Park Ranger Paige was
detailed for this ticklish job and he ac-
complished it by throwing a dynamite
bomb which exploded near the bears and
frightened them away.
In Glacier national park grizzlies range
above timber line during the summer
travel season. Rarely are they seen at
lower levels at this time of the year,
They are shy. except when in search OF
food. and are seldom seen from the main
travelled trails. Consequently, visitors
who explore the high meadows some dis
lance from the passes have the best OPP
portunity of seeing them. When dis
covered, it is probable they will be dig
ging out ground squirrels, their favorite
food. Their powerful legs and long
sharp claws certainly make the dirt fly.
Heavy SHOWS which come after the park
is closed to travel drive them to the val
legs and they are destructive around
hotels if food is left in them in such q
manned that they can smell it.
The scientific nam Of the grizzly bear,
ursus horribilis. attests the respect ac-
corded this animal by early explorers and
trappers. In reading the chronicle OF
the Lewis and Clark expedition, one is
impressed by the fact that. almost with
out exception, when q grizzly was en-
countered the animal charged without
the slightest provocation. There appears
to be some question whether the fierce
species of grizzly is extinct or has
learned caution after experience with
highpowered firearms. AT any rate, the
grizzlies in Glacier national park are
peaceably inclined If not molested.
