JOHN KERN, PR0SPEGT0R, LAST RESIDENT
OF HlGHl AMD, ONCE A PROSPEROUS CAMP

MANY years before Butte was a min
ing camp, Highland City, now OF
the ghost cities of the west, wa a
thriving mining center. It had ~
stores, three saloons, two dance halls,
a lodge room or two and restaurants
and rooming houses. That Highland
City will ever come back is doubted now
by ever Johnny Kern, the sole remain
ing resident of the camp, where the
exciting events of early day mining In
Montana made the place a much gayer
less lonesome. noisier community n
it now is, with only three shacks left
standing and one of these occupied by
Kern, often called Montana's oldest
prospector.
Kern came to Highland City in 1866
and has ever since, with brief intervals,
been a resident of "Old Highland" as
he calls it. Kern laughed when asked
If he thought Highland City would ever
come back.
"Oh, no." he said. "Unless somebody
finds something which will develop in
to a mine with a revenue of a million or
two a month. These pockets and tran
silent placer values will never build old
Highland up again. Nowadays it takes
a big producer to aus any interest.
I don't suppose Highland City will ever
again be the town it was.
"When I hit the place in 1866 she
was a live one. I worked my way across
the plains, took 200 days on the way.
Captain Fisk was the head of party
which I joined at Dubuque, Ia, where
my people lived. I was ID years old
and red blooded like all the old-timers
were when they were young. h

were 200 in u party and we had about
$50 rifles in addition to several cannon.
The government wouldn't let any party
cross the plains unless it was well arm
ed. We had several scares and one
night Captain Fisk and us men lined
up for action, but the fact of the mat
ter was the Indians had left the Da-
kotas under Sitting Bull just at that
time and we didn't see a red skin.
First work I did here was to tend
bar for the man for whom I had work.

dark blue dotted swiss scalloped at

A little Summer tip that might
prove useful in saving your linen hat
from marks of perspiration around
the crown on terribly hot days is to
take a square of absorbent cotton,
the kind you use for powder puffs,
cut it in three strips and tuck these
in between the crown and the hat
band. 1t is soft on the forehead,
makes the hat fit well and takes up
the perspiration before it gets through
to the outside where it leaves such
disagreeable diScoloration. And, OF
course, you can change them often.
It is SO easy.

Grass Saw Fly.

EVEN insects have saws and this
sawfy mother. ss you can see,
has a pair of them. They are at the
tip Of her abdomen.
You will see these busy carpenters
In the early Spring. They are to be
found on grass and wheat leaves. All
Winter. they slept in a silken wrapper,
awaiting the time when the grass
would be ready for them TO use.
The parents are larger than the
average sawfy and more husky look
ing. They are to be found throughout
the United States and Southern Can
ada. east Of the Rockies.
One would not call them handsome
creatures. Their wings. all four OF
them, are blush and marked with
red or yellow.
Only the mother has been given
the pair Of efficient saws. Her daugh-
tiers will each be so provided. The
fathers are not interested In their
offspring, or In labor.
To get some idea OF how these saws
are worked. yol. should watch the
mother. She uses the two spurs on
her front shanks to hold her firmly
in place, after she has taken a stand
on her chosen leaf.
She can push her saws out at will,
and she works them up and down.
There are two saws. side by side, in
groove underneath her body. In
reality, these saws are connected with
very intricate egg placer,

leaf. she begins in earnest to make

no power-run machine shows any
more precision. Up and down 60 the

is no rest period for meals or sleep

much time to do It in.
You get the surprises Of your life TO
see creatures looking just like cater
pillars emerging from those pockets q

thing about caterpillars, you are sure
they belong only to moths and butter

caterpillars or cutworms.

caterpillar has more than ten. So,

Missouri and Kansas, turning thou
sands of square miles into waste.
Railway trains had to be stopped. at
times. because the "hoppers' had
gathered over the tracks in deep
masses. The damage to crops was
more than $200,000,0 900.
Farmers in Canada and the United
States have cut down the locust
danger by late Fall plowing and
narrowing. Such treatment OF the
soil tends to turn up the eggs and
keep them from Matching the next
Spring. Another method of fighting
locusts is to spread pellets Of poison
bran mash in their pathway. The
insects eat the mash and soon fall
dead.
Not great distance from the
coast of Turkey is the island OF
Cyprus, which has an area of about
$500 square miles. This island was
once the scene of great battles
against locusts. In 1881 thousands OF
tons of locust eggs we're gathered and
destroyed. This helped, but 1t was
not enough. The next year new
armies of the insects came forth.
Young locusts crawl and hop, but
cannot fly. To bar their path, people
in Cyprus set up long screens Of
canvas. with a strip of vanished
leather just below the upper edge OF
each screen. The locusts could not
crawl past the slippery leather; and
when they tried to do so, they tumbled
into pits which had been dug below.
1t was figured that close to 100000
600 900 locusts were destroyed in that
manner in a single year-lS83.
