the Columbia, as chance
may have had it, a fetter

captive, In bonds of wire,
across the mountain tops,
conducted Into the mines of Butte and
assigned to his tasks. Held In leash
by miles of steel-wrapped cables, as
thick as tropical grapevines, immune
from destruction by fire and Imper
vious to the action of acids, the giant
•does the work of 35,000 horses in
shifts, levels, sumps and on the sun

Should occasion demand It, he can
do the work o< 00,000 horses or more
without straining at the task.
This wonder-working giant bears the
name of "Electric Current."

For Poultry Raising
Changes in the method of housing
and management of poultry, made
necessary by the great increase in
chicken brooder mortality and soil
contamination poultry diseases, were
discussed recently by Prof. J. S. Car
ver head of the poultry husbandry de
partment of the State College of
Washington. He said jn part:
"The common method of brooding
chickens on the west coast is to brood
large units of 1,000 or over, in a per
manent brooder house built or* cement
or wooden posts. A house of this
size—30 or 40 ft. long and 16 ft.
wide—is large to move and so must
be used in the same location year
after year.
"Experience has taught us that
chickens running out on the same
area of ground each year soon con
taminate the soil, and that even care
ful cultivation of the soil, cropping,
liming, etc., do not secure soil free
of contamination and disease for the
chickens.
"The two parasites that cause the
most trouble are coccidiosis and in
testinal round worms. Their life
cycle requires that they live in the
aoil for one stage of their develop
ment. As parasites they arc very re
eistant, and live from one year to
another in the soil. Every year these
two diseases cause million dollar loses
to poultrymen.
"The beat method of combating the
aoil contamination disease, is to use a

motor generators, 3d shaft pumps,
■ over 50,000 horsepower In electrical
motors, an elaborate signal system, a
lighting system covering many miles
of underground, w It h Innumerable
lamps, a number of electric hoists,
storage batteries, machine tools, heat
ing apparatus, over 100 miles of lend
or steel cable, other miles of an over
head system, operates three repair
shops—and still finds time to devote
to the development of new electrical
equipment and methods.
When electricity was Introduced
Into the Butte mines home wiring
methods were used, In which the ma
terials and devices were so crude as to
make It impossible to deliver the cur
rent at anywhere near maximum safety
and efficiency.
Working to overcome these handi
caps, Insure the safety of men and pro
tect the mines, Butte electricians have
found It advisable to devise cables of
iimnxlng construction, three and one
half inches thick, weighing 15 pounds
to the foot, and costing $10,50 per
yard.
As a farther means of safety, they
have bored diamond drill holes
through the solid rock down to the
ligjqp WV tf rtv* High O" to carry
these cables to the pump motors.
Aa an additional precaution against
trouble, two additional cables are
anchored and surrounded In the shaft
by concrete, attention being given to
their complete Isolation from other
power cables In every Instance,
The electric cables are so construct
ed that add can not harm them nor
any fire not up to smelting heat make
an Impression on thçm.
AU the Important power cables un
derground terminate in truck type
switch boards. This was an English
Invention but Butte was among the
very first to adopt It for mining awr
larger area for brooding chickens, and
rotate the chickens on fresh land each
year. A three years rotation of crops
with three separate ranges will give
the chickens land that has been rasted
from chickens for at least two years,
" Necessarily the unit number of,
chickens brooded must be smaller, and
the brooder house must be of the mov
able colony type to be easily moved
to new locations from time to time.
The poultry department of the col
lege recommends the following plan
for brooding chickens in movable col
of''.' houses,
0 r a 62-lnch coal burning brooder
stove will hover 260 to 350 chickens
economically in this house. The nom
have found semi-anthracite coal eco
nomical for use in the coal burning
brooders. The price is f 16 a ton. For
early brooding east of the mountains
a portable cool room built in four sec
tions is advisable to protect the chick
ens from strong southwest winds and
"A 10x12 colony brooder house built
on two 4x6 skids is the type of house
recommended. This is a shed roof
house with a single board floor and
covered with roofing paper on the out
side. It is ventilated in front by two
80-inch square window* that ara
hinged to drop in, and a sliding muslin
curtain in the ceater of the front.
A summer ventilator in the rear and
a door on the aide provide for ventila
tion during the warm day* t.f -»minerJ
A blue-flame colony brooder stove
ber to be brooded will depend on the
season. A large number can be brood
ed later in the season when they can
run out of doors on green range. We
vice, because this type of control Is
the last word In safety.
The electric locomotive Is another
Butte adaptation. The history of the
underground locomotive Is contained
n the story of Its development In the
Butte mines.
Butte has now turned "thumbs
down" on the overhead trolley and al
ready has installed sixty storage-bat
tery locomotives. The department Is
now working toward push-button con
trol for the operation of all motor in
stallation thus farther Insuring safety
for the workers.
The cables for the motors which
drive the ventilation funs 1« another
Butte Idea. These copper power-cur
rying wires are Imbedded In a eoattng
more than an Inch thick, of which at
least 40 tier cent Is virgin rubber.
These cables cost 55 cents a foot
and the normal amount required for
additional fan Installation Is 10,000
feet each month.
The Annconda's telephone system la
of the most up-to-date character. The
Bell people thought ao much of It that
they published a description and pho
tographs In their annual. It extends
throughout the mines, with 212 sta
tions.
The story of a miner on the 2,800
level calling up hla home on the flat
to Inquire: "How I» the weather on
top?" was no flight of fancy.
The electric signal systems. In use
In all the mines for dispatching mine
cages, has been adjudged the best by
mining men in all parts of the world
and is now standard (n a great many
large mines throughout the United
States, which outranks all other coun
tries In the application of electricity
for mining.
The electrification of the Anaconda
company's properties will never be
permanently completed, for the reason
that the effort further to add to the
comfort and safety of the workers by
adapting electricity to the mining and
metallurgical process wherever poe
alble to unending. However, wonderful
progress has been, and to being, made
at this task, In which Montana for
many years has led the entire electrical

THE NEW SALLIE PUZZLES CURTISS
Coming back from St. Augustine
Jurtiss Wright was strangely quiet,
Several time* I tried to break in upon
his meditation, but ha answered me in
monosyllable« and I knew his thoughts
were distant.
Before alighting from the car he
urned to me and said slowly: "I've
been thinking, Sallie, that it would be
better for me to clear out until your
father has completely recovered and
work on the settlement can be fin
ished.
"Walter Hull and his wife have in
vited me on a hunt at their lodge near
Orlando," he continued. "I hadn't
thought of accepting, but -"
I said nothing.
"Anything NOW is better than be
ing my guest, is that the idea?" I
interrupted.
' It isn't quite fair of you to say
that and under the circumstances I
believe you understand why 1 am leav
ing."
"I don't understand anything," I
pouted* "I suppose Anne Coddlington
will lie accompanying you on this sort
of house-party-in-the-woods arrange
ment."
"I haven't asked her, but they told
me to bring some girl along with me,
and if you really think that she'd en
joy it, perhaps I shall pass on to her
the invitation."
I was furious and a rising sense
of loneliness crept over my whole
being.
He must have felt my unhappiness,
for he reached over and took both my
hands in his, saying very gently:
"I know YOU don't want to go,
Sallie. IT'S going to be rough—the
worse kind. There'll be no hot water
nor any sort of fluffy-ruffles. Just
simple and wholesome, not even a drop
of liquor.
"Oh, but I'd love and adore it. I'm
so-o-o-o tired and sick of everything
and everybody. Please, please take|^'
me with you." The words came in
pleading cadence, swiftly tumbling one
after the other.
"What!" he exclaimed, "the most
sought-after belle in the South beg
ging to go on a camping party? A
girl with more scalps at her slender
waist-line than a Princess, wanting
to go and leave all the suitors and gay
times for a whole week where you'll
have to live the sweet and simple?"
"But I'm wild about shooting!'
lied glibly, not daring to tell him that
my only oxporience had been with clay
pigeons at a State Fair shooting gal
lery. But right then and there I de
termined to show Curtiss Wright I
was as good a sportsman as Anne
Coddington—if it killed me.
All was idleness within the camp
that morning. Men and women sat in
little groups together, chatting and
smoking. There was a spirit of sat
isfaction in the air that was con
tagion*. The morning needed no set
plans to mar its perfection of freedom.
In the open spaces the sunlight was a
glistening veil that caraaoad the
green grasaes and sami-tropical fol
iage, and, not satisfied with the ca
ress. hovered in wave* that were
poised and restless.
The shaded places were mossdraped
vistas, bowers with dapples of gold
dancing on the carpet of shadows, as
the leaves above were lifted and bouy
ed by a breeze that was wine-like in
its languor, yet zestful in its exhilsra
tion.
I
hawk might come again today. He had
an unobstructed view of the high
perch, unoccupied.
Curtiss sat alone, brooding. Then
he left his place, returning quickly
with a rifle. He entered the slightly
discernable path and 1 knew he was
on his way to the little stream where
he had gone every morning while the
others waited for the dogs' arrival,
I followed. The grass swishing
about his ankles prevented him from
hearing my footstep*.
1 saw him stop at a giant oak and
I saw his gaze fix itself on aome
feathers across the tiny stream. Pity
claimed him. He was seeing again
the sylvan tragedy of the day before.
The hawk's swift swoop, the struggle
of the wood-thrush , it* song
strangled by the clawing talons, the
majestic sweep of the bird of prey as
ho Hfted his inert victim to the high
)• 'riches. He saw no mitre. He had
urned away from the rest.
Yes. There wore tha feathers; the
Hia eyes were trained upon that
dead, bare limb where he expected
the feathered marauder,
was one of sun-flecked leaves am
flashing rays of brilliance smote hi
His visio
eyes obliquely. Some minnows dis
ported in the stream, and their bright
sides glistened.
His rifle lay by his side, his hand'
having slid from it. He did not star,
when I sat beside him, but acted as if
be had rather expected me to follow.
I'm sorry," I said softly.
I don't know what you mean," he
feplied, looking at me intently, "hut
*'*' on * haven t been able to figure you
ollt fi ' nc< ' *be hunt started. I thin!-:
Y 011 " r -' tensing, and yet you seen
moi.» demure, mora honest, somehow
even your eyes are larger and mon
open. Right at this moment then
is no twinkle, only the wavering
depths of sincerity. A new Sallia."
"And you don't think I'm a fraua
coming here under false pretenses.'
"Oh, tha*,," he reminisced, smiling
slightly, "I knew' you couldn't shoot,
and that's why you've been even more
of a brick to put up with all tiie rough
and tumble and not kick about it."
"I told the others we wouldn't go
along with them today. I felt like
I HAD to be alone with you, Curtiss."

Dear Miss Flo: After the death of a
' n K ■
me ?
parent should children wear mourn
(2) If ao, for whit period of
(3) Should they use mourn
ing stationery?
F. A.
Children never wear black upon the
death of a parent. A child of fourteen
fifteen or sixteen may wear lavenders,
grays and white. A child under those
ages should wear white, relieved, if
desired, with a touch of lavender. Chil
dren never use mourning stationery.
Neither do they carry handkercihefs
bordered with black.
Dear Miss Flo: Is it proper for the
bride to throw her bouquet among her
bridesmaids after the wedding? I
would like to keep mine, but do not
wish to do so if it is considered poor
form. (2) Should the bride remove
her gloves before the ceremony? A
girl friend of mine, recently married,
says that it is not good form. She
said that one finger of the glove
should be ripped open and the ring
sliped on. Kindly advise me. R. G.
It is not necessary for the bride
to throw her bouquet unless she wishes
to. It is a pretty custom, but not
at all compulsory. (2) _The bride
should remove her glove from her
left hand only as she enters the
church. She may give it to her maid
of honor when ehe hands her the bou
quet. The custom of ripping one
finger of the glove has never been
popular with people of good taste.
Dear Miss Flo: (1) While a girl
is out with an escort is it proper for
her to put her arm around him while
he is driving the car? (2) If you
meet a boy on the street, how should
you greet him? 8) While a girl is
out with a young man is it proper for
her to kiss him if he asks her to?
Thank you.
Any démonstration of affection in
public is very poor taste. (2) There is
really no set rule regarding the cor
rect manner in which to greet a friend.
The "hello" which one naturally calls
to a very good friend in the smaller
town would be very improper in the
larger city, and vice-versa. Any greet
ing that it conspicuous is not good
form. A quiet, cordial geeting is all
that is necessary. (8) A lady never
kisses a gentleman unless she is en
gaged to him, and the real gentleman
will not embarass her by requesting
Thank you.
