EDITORIAL The signs of the time are for a greater effort al along the line to improve in our efforts to Do Something, and have something The efficiency of the Great Western University is very apparent not only to us but to all Helena. The remarkable propress of one of our own in the short space of time which she has been away stands for more than all the lectures and advertisemnts that can be given or written. The efforts of many of our people to take a chance for the opening in the Flathead and journeying hence is commendable, we hope they all draw claims and locate upon them. Some of our young men are of the opinion that they can play both sides of the social scale but in this they are sadly mistaken as their sins will surely find them out. Register of the Treasury, Prof W. T. Vernor, has been assured of his retention in that position for the next four years, and if merit stands for anything no one can gainsay the registed is deserving of this honor. He has certainly been a live wire in his environment, at al times up and doing something for the uplift of the race. Under the present order of things it is easy sailing for the man who can get by without visible means of support. The debate at St. James Church last Wednesday was highly interesting, the proposition of Jim Crowism was thrashed out, Mr. Arthur Ford made his debut as a debator and was a credit and the old line debaters must look well to their laurels, his is quick to see a point, his side won the debate. But for all that it is known fact that Jim Crowism is fast reaching his tecnacles, and will in time, claim all America. We say if it has to come the quicker the better; the sooner that our people realize this the more business will develop amongst them and if they fail to appreciate the good point of building their own enterprises Jis Crow will force them to do it and perhaps it is all Building better than we know. Miss Alta Holbert of Anaconda returned to her home last week from Western University at which institution she is taking a musical and literary course. She is one of the brightest university students and her parent W. T. Holbert, is entitled to great credit for the sacrifice which he is making in giving to Miss Alta that opportunity. But he is a thorough race man and stands at all times for the uplift of the race and patronizes their interprises. BIRTHDAY PARTY AT THE DAM Miss Pearl Palmer on last Thursday was the leading spirit in getting up one of the most entertaining and enjoyable parties which has ever journeyed from Helena to the Missouri river to the side of the dam.

M. Holland from drowning. While out rowing he got too near the current that is formed from the water going over the dam and would have went down and to his death had not the uprights been there and as the boat lodged against them he crawled out on the bridge.

MILLIONS SEEING THIS GREAT SHOW The Combined Hangenbeck Animal Show and the Wallace Circus are popular Of all the auxiliary attractions at any of the several world's fairs, the first place in importance has always been accorded the Carl Hagenbeck Trained Animal Show. It is estimated that more than two million people visited this show during the fairs at Chicago and St. Louis and these two million people have never forgotten the unusual and most remarkable acts performed by the brute actors, and are constatly urging their friends to see the Hagenbeck trained animals at their first opportunity. Not every one could go to the great world's fairs, but since the Hagenbeck animal show has combined with the Great Wallace Shows the tour has been The Rt. Rev. Bishop A preside at the Puget Sound in this City August 11th. such that hundreds of thousaids of people who were unable to go to the fairs have been able to see the educated wild beasts perfom. This season the combined Hagenbeck-Wallace Show will visit two-thirds of the states of this country, and large crowds of people who have waited many years for this chance will have an opportunity to see the most faomus animal tamers and trainers and the best educated animals in the world's history. The nature of some amusement makes it impossible to tell whether or not there has been a combination when it is advertised that wo shows have combined, but in the instance of the combination of the Carl Hagenbeck-Wallace Shows it is an easy matter to verify the truth of the claim, for every one knows of the heretofore unexcelled performances of the three-ring Wallace Shows and also of the famous animal acts given by the Hagenbeck peo- ple in an iron ring. Since the shows have been combined, the performances of each is given complete and without interfering with the other, and the patrons can readily see that in this advertised combination the facts warrant the claim. The Carl Hagenbeck-Wallace Combined Shows will appear in Helena for two performances on June 25. CABIN PARTY Mr. and Mrs. J. L.

Applications Must Be Sent to James W. Witten, Coeur d'Alene City, Idaho, Between Dates of July 15 and August 9—Registration Blanks Furnished by Government on Request. Hundreds of thousands of applications for registration for lands in the Flathead, Coeur d'Alene and Spokane reservations are expected to be received between the dates of July 15 and August 9 at Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, by James W. Witten, superintendent of the opening, who has established his headquarters in that city. Applications for registration must be on forms furnished by the general land office, which can be obtained at the federal land offices in Spokane, Cocur d'Alene, Idaho, Kalispell, Mont., and Missoula, Mont. The blanks must be filled in there and sworn to before notaries public designated by the land commissioner, after July 15 and before August 5, according to information furnished George C. Whitson, former member of the Oklahoma legislature, by Senator T. P. Gore. Before the latter date the applications for registration must be sent in plain envelopes to Superintendent Witten at Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Any marking on the envelopes that would permit identification, return addresses in the corner or anything to indicate the sender will cause the application to be discarded. The envelopes must be $3\frac{1}{2}$ inches wide and 6 inches long and bear the address, "James W. Witten superintendent, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho," and the name of the reservation embracing the lands which the applicant wishes to enter. Applications for Registration. Applications for Registration All applications for registration must be sworn to personally by the applicants, except when the application is made by a soldier or sailor honorably discharged after 90 days' service or more in the civil war, the Spanish war or the Philippine insurrection, or by their widows or minor children. These persons may present their applications by an agent, who must have a power of attorney. No one can act as agent for more than one person, nor can any soldier or his widow or minor child appoint more than one person agent for him. Such applications, sworn to by the authorized agent, must be sent by mail to Superintendent Witten at Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, as in the case of the others. No envelope should contain more than one application and no person should present more than one application for lands in the same reservation.

A woman, who is the head of a family or who is more than 18 years old, may also make entry. Receipt of Envelopes. As soon as the superintendent of the opening receives an envelope addressed to him, with the name of the reservation indorsed upon it, he will, if the envelope bears no distinctive marks or words indicating the name of the person by whom it was mailed, deposit it in a metal can set apart for the reception of envelopes bearing indorsement for that reservation. The cans used for this purpose must be so constructed as to prevent envelopes deposited therein from being removed without detection, and they will be guarded by representatives of the government until they are publicly opened. All envelopes which show the name of the person by whom they are mailed will be at once opened and the applications therein returned to the applicants. Public Opening August 9. On August 9, 1909, the cans containing the applications for registration presented oy persons who desire to enter Coeur d'Alene lands will be publicly opened and the envelopes mixed. Under the direction of Superintendent Witten there will be picked at random as many applications as will be considered necessary to secure entries for the 200,000 acres which will be thrown open in the Coeur d'Alene reservation. The applications drawn in this way, if correct and conforming with the provisions of the department shall be numbered serially in the order in which they are selected and the numbers thus assigned will fix the order in which the persons named therein may make entry after the lands shall become subject to entry. Successful Applicants. A list of the successful applicants, showing the number assigned to each, will be posted and will be printed in the newspapers and a notice mailed to each person to whom a number is assigned.

Notices of the time and place he must make entry will be mailed to the successful applicants, and if he fails to present himself on that date or notifies the register that he does not intend to make entry the person holding the highest number to whom no date has been assigned will be at once notified that he will be permitted to make entry on a date named in such notice after all persons holding numbers higher than his have had opportunity to make entry.

Supposed Cattle Thief Is Killed Near Spokane. In a gun fight with two alleged cattle thieves Deputy Sheriffs Jim Logan and George Sweet were victorious, killing one of the men and putting the other to flight. The dead man is Basecom Wallace, whose home is in Douglas county. The man who escaped was Tom Greenman, and he was wounded. The battle occurred near Nine Mile bridge, at about sundown. Deputy Sheriffs Logan, Sweet, Long and Doak of Spokane had located a bunch of stolen cattle and were waiting for the men who had them in charge. The officers had separated, Logan and Sweet being concealed on the edge of a bluff, when they saw Wallace and Greenman approach. They ordered them to throw up their hands, but the only reply they received was a fusilade of shots. Ewing Pershall and Dwight Pershall, said to be the other two members of the gang, were arrested in Spokane by Deputy Sheriffs Doak and Ryan and taken to the county jail. According to the officers the four men had stolen the cattle, 31 head, in Douglas county, with the intention of disposing of them in the Spokane market.

Stephens of San Francisco, superintendent of the Eighth Railway Postal division, embracing Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, California, Alaska, Alaska and Hawaii, now employing 1,100 men, as against 284 in 1898, is in Spokane to make a final inspection of the headquarters of the division preparatory to turning over Alaska, Idaho, Oregon and Washington, the newly created Thirteenth division with headquarters at Portland. The new division also includes Montana. The change will take place on July 1, with Frank W. Vaille in charge.

Keagey, who is a heavy man, stepped into the sail locker of the steamer and fell 20 feet through a hole in the floor, alighting squarely on top of nine naked Chinamen lying in the hole of the ship, whereupon they screamed in terror. Further investigations brought to light several leather sacks resembling government mail pouches, filled with raw silk, and a number of boxes of expensive Manila cigars.

C., 2664; Joe Schlumpf Websters, Seattle, 2640; E. N. Brooks & Co., Seattle, 2536; South Sides, Denver, Co., 2585; Pritchard's Cafe, Seattle, 2640; Juan de Fucas, 2546; Rubes and Jays, 2537. Thirty teams competed in the above event. Two-man teams—Ballard and Dobkins, Spokane, 1112. Individual scores—F. L. Dobkins, Spokane, 643; S. Zimmerman, Spokane, 582. R. A. Woolley of Denver was high in all events, with an average of 196 5-9 for nine games, which won the Henry Hensel trophy, open to all. A. L. Jenkins of Seattle finished second after a bad start and won the Friedlander & Harrison diamond medal open to Seattle bowlers. Jenkins averaged 192 2-3 for the nine games and was crowding Wooley strong at the finish. Jack Nelson, the much-touted sprinter, won both the sprints in handy fashion without being called upon to exert himself. Portland's Great Auto Races. Thirty thousand persons witnessed the Portland Automobile club's races over the Base Line course near Portland, Ore., Saturday afternoon and saw Bert Dingley of Merced, Cal., win the big race, the 102.2-mile event, and the Wemme cup in 14:41, almost a mile-a-minute clip. Dingley made a magnificent race, driving his Chalmers-Detroit car consistently from the start to the finish. In the race for $3000 cars, Charles Arnold of New York, in a Pope Hartford car, carried off the honors, driving the 43.8 miles in 45:53. Howard Covey of Portland repeated his performance of last year in the race of $1600 cars by again winning this event in a Cadillac. His time for the 43.8 miles was 47:08. Several protests have been filed with the referee, the most serious being that of Murray Page, driving a Loeomobile, who charged that he had been persistently jockeyed by Charles Arnold in the Wemme cup race. Page's protest will be heard by the racing board of the automobile club next week. He claims that he would have won the big event had he not been fouled by Arnold. No serious accidents occurred during the day. Minor mishaps put a number of machines out of the running in each event. Golf Matches at Seattle. Douglas Grant of Burlingame, champion of southern California, Saturday won the Pacific coast golf championship from J. Gillison, Jr., of Seattle in the feature event of the week in the golf program on the Seattle links. It was an intensely interesting game, the final score being 6 up and 4 to play. The 72-hole medal event for professionals proved to be one of the classiest features of the week's play. J. A. Barnes of Spokane proved his worth by capturing this event and the $200 prize, making a score of 316. L. B. Peeples of Seattle won the cup presented to the winner of the men's handicap event, 18 holes, making 78. Spokane City League, Sunday Next. June 20: Varney-Brownlee, Hillyard-Hazelwood, Dodd-Zouaves.

Lumber production in the United States was less in the calendar year 1908 than in the preceding year, according to a report issued by the census bureau. The decrease amounted to 17.5 per cent, or from 40,256,154,000 to 33,289,369,000 feet. A well known lawyer is telling a good story about himself and his efforts to correct the manners of his office boy. One morning not long ago the youngster, tossing his cap at a hook, exclaimed: "So, Mr. Blank, there's a ball game down at the park today, and I'm going." Now, the attorney is not a hard-hearted man, and was willing the boy should go, but thought he would teach him a little lesson in good manners. "Jimmie," he said, "that isn't the way to ask a favor. Now, you come over here and sit down, and I'll show you how to do it." The boy took the office chair and his employer picked up his cap and stepped outside. He then opened the door softly, and holding the cap in his hand, said quietly to the small boy in the big chair: "Please, sir, there is a ball game at the park today; if you can spare me I would like to get away for the afternoon." In a flash the boy responded: "Why, certainly, Jimmie; and here is 50 cents to pay your way in." Russian Ship Sinks.

WESTERN ELECTRIC COMPANY TELEPHONES PRESIDENT TAFT GETS A "TIP." How to Make Interstate Commerce Law Just. Attorney H. M. Stephens, representing shippers of interior cities, accompanied by Senator Jones and Representative Poindexter, had a five minute talk with President Taft recently, and Mr. Stephens presented suggestions relative to amendments to the interstate commerce law. President Taft listened attentively to Mr. Stephens, and at the conclusion of his remarks said it would greatly please him to have the entire subject presented at greater length in November. Briefly, Mr. Stephens' argument would be to put the shipper on a par with railroad companies in their given right of appeal to circuit courts over decisions of the interstate commerce commission affecting rates. As the law now stands railroad companies can go into the courts of the United States and ask for an injunction against orders of the commission. The shipper is denied this right. In principle it is contended there can be no possible difference between shipper and common carrier, and it is to put both upon a square and equal basis that Stephens contends. More Massacres in Persia. St. Petersburg, June 14.—A dispatch to the Novoe Vremya from Astara says that the Shakhsevan tribes are ravaging the Ardabil district in Azerbiajan, the most northwestley province of Persia.

ARD OIL GREAT FOR PAIN OIL THAT PENETRATES AMERICAN NATIONAL PARKS & RESERVE AMERICAN NATIONAL PARKS & RESERVE DEPARTMENT CONSIDERED NATIONAL WESTERN WESTERN NATIONAL IRRIGA TION CONGRESS IT'S OBJECT AND THE NEXT MEETING PLACE. Purpose of National Irrigation Congress to Demonstrate the Wonderful Development Possible by Getting Water on Arid Lands and to Show Eastern People Its Importance. Reclamation of arid and swamp lands, forestry, deep waterways, conservation of natural resources, good roads and home-building will be discussed by experts in these lines as the seventeenth sessions of the National Irrigation congress, which will meet in Spokane, Wash., August 9 to 14. It is expected that President Tait and several members of his cabinet, government officials, members of congress, governors, foreign representatives, railroad presidents, bankers and delegates from various states and territories and provinces in Canada and representatives from Europe, the Latin republics and Japan and China will participate in the deliberations. The purpose of this congress is to demonstrate to the west the wonderful development possible by the solution of these problems and to show to the east the economic importance and benefit to the whole country of this development. Advices now to hand indicate there will be approximately 3,500 accredited delegates, besides thousands of visitors. Plans already outlined for approval by the national officers will limit the speakers to 20 minutes, while delegates will be limited to five minutes in discussions. Various stages of the development of the Pacific northwest, from the entrance of Captains Meriwether Lewis and William Clark into what was then the Oregon country in 1805 to the present day, will be exemplified by two parades of progress and a march in review by the industrial and irrigation army in connection with the sessions. These open-air features have been arranged: August 10, Afternoon—Parade of progress, showing the transformation of the northwest from semi-savagery to civilization, by a series of district floats and mounted men and marchers. August 11, Evening — Illuminated parade of progress, representing various periods in the northwest, from 1805 to 1909. Indians from four reservations and districts in the Pacific and western states will join in this demonstration. August 12, Afternoon—Parade and countermarch of the industrial and irrigation army, with 10,000 uniformed men in line. The official emblem of the congress, showing science bidding the desert drink, will be shown in an elaborate float. Chief George Moses and 300 tribesmen of the Nez Perces, decked in the ancient tribal finery with trophies of historic battles when the tribe was at war with the government, will participate in the parades of progress. They will make camp near the city, showing to the eastern visitors their mode of living before the coming of the white man. Exhibits, a Feature. Arrangements are being made to install massed exhibits of the resources of the various districts in the country at street intersections in prominent parts of the city, also in the state armory, where the congress will meet, so that visitors can see what is being accomplished in the northwest, while the street illuminations and decorations will be the most pretentious undertakings yet attempted in the west. Marching Clubs. Marching clubs from the irrigated and dry-farming districts in Idaho, Oregon, Montana, Washington, California, Wyoming, Utah, North and South Dakota, Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma and other states in the middle west, east and south and from the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan are expected to participate in the parades. The feature of the opening of the congress will be the raising of hundreds of flags to the tops of as many 40-foot poles in the residential districts and the unfurling of the flags of the nations and banners in the business sections the morning of August 9, when massed musicians, headed by the Third Regiment United States Infantry band, will play patriotic airs. This will be followed with the rendition of the Irrigation ode by a large chorus of trained singers and the singing of state hymns by school children. Governors' Day. August 13 has been set aside for the governors and their staffs, and there will be several receptions, banquets, excursions and theater parties during the week. National Officers. The national officers of the 1909 congress are: President, George E. Barstow, Barstow, Texas; secretary, B. A. Fowler, Phoenix, Ariz.; assistant secretary, F. H. Griswold, Chicago. Every state and territory in the Union has a vice president. The local officers at Spokane are: Chairman board of control, R. Insinger; secretary, Arthur Hooker. "Alice" Will Be There. Boosters from various parts of New Mexico, headed by "the only original Albuquerque bunch," accompanied by Alice, a Spanish burro, credited with knowing more tricks than the cartoonist responsible for the much exploited Maud ever fancied in his wildest dreams, are coming as delegates to the congress. Nelson, B. C., Too. More than ordinary interest attaches to the visit of the Nelson companies, 102d Regiment Rocky Mountain Rangers of British Columbia to the national congress. 900 DROPS CASTORIA ALCOHOL 3 PER CENT.

Advocates of anarchy, defined as a doctrine that organized government should be overthrown by force of violence or the assassination of the executive head or any of the executive officials of government or by any unlawful means, must carefully edit their mouth-filling phrases for public utterances in the state of Washington, if they desire to keep clear of prison cells. The new criminal code, now in operation, designates the espousal of the doctrine a felony, punishable by imprisonment in the penitentiary for any period up to 10 years. There are numerous important changes in the law, including the abolition of the compulsory death sentence for murder in the first degree and giving the court discretionary power to sentence to imprisonment for life. There is also the establishment of a new degree of crimes known as gross misdemeanors, which includes "grafting," punishable by imprisonment in the county jail for not more than a year or a fine up to $1000, or both. Insanity is no defense in criminal cases; but it is provided that when, in the judgment of the court, any person convicted shall have been insane, an idiot or an imbecile at the time of the commission of the act, he may be committed to a hospital for the insane or to the insane ward of the penitentiary until he has recovered. The code forbids "tipping" and having possession of cigarettes or papers, and, though it is specified that "every provision shall be construed according to the fair import of its terms," the foremost criminal lawyers in the state declare it will cause much confusion and in numerous instances it will compel good citizens to become lawbreakers. "This," said a teacher to her class of arithmeticians, "is a unit." She held up a pencil. "This book is a unit, too," said she. "And these are units." And she showed them a ruler, a flower and an apple. Then she peeled the apple, and, holding up the peel, said: "Now, children, what is this?" Silence. "Come, you know what it is," she urged. Little Bill's hand went up slowly. "Well, William?" said the teacher. "Pleathe, ma'm, the skin of a unit."
