]News of Huntley Project
Local and Personal.
William S. Arthur, chief clerk and
fiscal agent of the reclamation ser
vice, left for points west on his vaca
tion trip Wednesday evening. Mr.
Arthur will visit the Alaslka-Yukon
Pacific exposition, several points in
California, and spend some days at
his home in Denver, thence returning
to Huntley.
C. D. Howe, assistant engineer of
the reclamation service, returned Mon
day morning from a week'S visit at
the Lower Yellowstone project at
Glendive.
The young people of Huntley gave a
dance in Day's hall last Friday even
ing. The dance was well 'attended,
Billings being generously represent
ed, and all enjoyed a good time.
The erection of the new residence of
T. P. Walter, one of Huntley's lead
ing merchants, is being watched with
interest as it promises to become a
big improvement and addition to Hunt
ley.
During the past few weeks a great
number of homeseekers have visited
the Huntley project and all were fa
vorably impressed with what they
saw, the crops and conditions in gen
eral on the project being a good draw
ing card. The result of thi4 season's
crop certainly shows what the soil
on Huntley project can do if properly
taken care of, and in many cases ex
ceeded expectations.
C. H. Pollard and wife, accom
panied by Mrs. M. A. Hooton and
granddaughter, arrived Tuesday after
noon from Chadron, Neb., to visit Ella
L. Hooton, proprietress of the Hotel
Huntley, who is the daughter of Mrs.
Hooton and sister. of Mrs. Pollard.
Mr. Pollard is a printer and came
here primarily on a visit and for rec
reation, but is so pleased with the
project and the community that he
may decide to make his home here.
R. Richards of the United States
geological survey at Helena has been
at Huntley the past few days on busi
ness in connection with the river
gauges.
Everywhere on the project signs of
prosperity and improvemexnt are in
evidence. More cement sidewalks are
appearing on Huntley's main street
and it is hoped the good work con
tinues.
Women and the Home
The best dustclothes are made of
old silkaline.
Grass stains may be removed by
cream tartar and water.
Scotch snuff put in holes where
crickets come out will destroy them.
Salt on the fingers when cleaning
fowls, meat or fish, will prevent slip
pig.
To clean aluminum wash with
strong soapsuds with a little of am
monia and soda.
.Mustard water is useful to clean the
hands after handling any odorous sub
stance.
A few drops of oil of cloves added
to paste will prevent the latter from
turning sour.
For blood stains use cold water first,
then soap and water. Never use hot
water, as it sets the stain.
Wood ashes put in a woolen bag
and placed in the water is a simple
means for making hard water soft for
washing.
Yellow soap and whiting, mixed to
a stiff paste with a little Water will'
stop a leak in the pipes as quickly as
solder.
Use vinegar instead of water for
mixing stove polish; this will make
it stick much better and will also give
a better polish.
Half a teaspoonful of sugar thrown
into the embers, will nearly always
revive a dying fire, and it is always
safe to be used for that purpose.
To prevent lamp wicks frpm smok
ing, soak them thoroughly in vinegar
and then let them get dry before put
ting them into the kerosene lamp to
be used.
If the ceiling should become smoked
from an improperly regulated lamp
underneath, the blackened surface may
be cleaned by washing it with a little
weak soda water.
When packing away white summer
dresses or any white goods for the
winter, wrap each piece carefully in
blue paper. It will prevent the white
material from turning yellow.
Writing ink, especially it kept in
an open bottle, quickly becomes thick
and unfit for use. In that case dilute
the ink with a small quantity of vine
gar and shake the bottle wiell.
If soot should fall on tle carpet,
cover it liberally with salt before mak
ing an attempt to sweep it up. It will
then be possible to remove the soot
with the salt, leaving the spot clean.
Rugs often have a tendency to curl
at the corners. To prevent them from
doing so, bind them on the underside
with a strip of narrow webb ng of the
kind that is used to hold the springs
in furniture in place.
It is a thing well worth knowing
that a few drops of oil of lavender
scattered upon hook shelves back of
the books will prevet damptess from
injuring the bindings of books during
prolonged seasons of rainy weather.
.\loths do not like to make their
nests in any place whe.re salt has been
and one may often get rid of' them by
scrubbing the floor with a hot and
strong solution of salt before laying
down the carpet and scattering dry
salt on the carpet when sw;eeping it.

this fine weather later on.
The Optimist - Well, cheer up!

things, isn't It?-Puck.
