DEVICE WILL PREVENT MONTANA
VALLEY FROM BECOMING A DESERT
;j A Portland man haa come forward to
th rescue of a large community In
Montana. lie says he can save Deer
Lodge valley from the deadly fumes Of
arsenic, against which so strong fight
has been made that President Roosevelt
has been asked to have closed the
Washoe smelters, from whence come
the fumes.
. For four years In the 90's" John K.
Flynn was a foreman In the Washoe
smelters of the Amalgamated Copper
company, the largest melter in the
world. While there he conceived the
Idea which ever since he has been work
ing out. He has taknn time enough
from his work as a building contractor
perfect, as he believes, an Invention
which In to be placed on the smoke
stacks of the smelters and which he
firmly declares will separate the pois
onous arsenic fumes and? carbolic add
from the smoke as they pass -up the
stack.
Mr. Flynn says not only will his in
vention separate the arsenic and car
bolic acid from the smelter smoke, but
t will deliver the merchantable acid
and arsenic to the ground to be stored
in tanks until sold.
"About 1300 worth of arsenic a
month goes up. the smoke stacks of the
Washoe smelters." Said Mr. Flynn yes
terday, "and my device will catch 98
per. cent of It. The device, by the war,
is a very simple thing, though I have
been a long time working it out. I
have Just finished it, and I see by The
Sunday Journal that the mayor of
Butte has been appealed to In the effort
to prevent President Roosevelt from
taking any action to close the smelters.
That would directly affect 100,000 peo
ple. Naturally that entire part of
Montana is Interested in the fight
against the arsenic. I think my inven
tion comes just In time."
So widespread Is the effect of the
arsenic that for miles around the smelt
ers trees have been killed, cattle are
dying from the foul air, the very grass
has been so deprived of clean air that
it died. In fact, according to the dis
patches from Butte, the country around
Anaconda, where the great Washoe
smelter U located, in being reduced to
a aeseri. ah inn, Mr. Flynn declares,
will speedily be brought to an end when
his device is installed on the smelter
smoke stacks. He is already in corres
pondence with the Amalgamated Copper
bvuipujiy regarding a iriai 01 Ills aevice.

surprised to learn the facta
Jean Marie Fallieres, this cousin of
the president of France, was second
officer on the French bark Salnte Anne,
which sailed from this port a few days
ago, after having loaded wheat for Eu
rope. The vessel was in the harbor
more than a month and during all that
time Second Officer Fallieres strolled
about the city visiting places of inter
est and looking over the country. He
viewed the snowcapped mountains from
Council Crest, saw the Cascades of the
Columbia, Willamette Falls and all
other points of interest, but always re
turned to nis snm unnoticed ana uniden
tified, excepting as' one of the mates of
the rrencn windjammer.
But a visit to the mate's little cabin
would reveal on the wall among a col
lection of pictures, a large photograph
of the French president, with the
words "To mv dear cousin. Fallieres'
signed in the executive's own. handwrit
ing. This led to the discovery of the
mate's social standing in his own coun
try, and the captain of the ship cor
roborated the mates story.
"I did not learn of this man's iden

this morning, out x nave it xrom au
