UNIVERSITY TO
EXPLORE THE
FLATHEAD
MISSOULA. Mont., July 8. — A set
entitle exploration of Flathead lake.
In the northwestern section of the
state, is to be undertaken this summer
by the biological stntion of the Uni
versity of Montana. The lake has (
hitherto never been fully explored, nl j
though Its extent has been known for
many years. Last year a beginning'
■was made in this work.
This year the university authorities
are to have the assistance and co
operation of the state fish commission,
which is particularly interested in the
kind and food values of the fish in
the lake. As much ns possible the
exploration will be completed this
year, the remainder being left until
1917.
Chief attention will be given to the
depth of the lake, character of its
bottom, the nature of the shores,
swamps and shallow areas, the tur
bidity and temperature of the water
at all depths, and the gases it may
hold in solution.
A study will also be made of the
animnl and vegetable life with spec
ial reference to Its value as food for
fishes. Inquiry will then be made
into the parasites and other foes of
fish life. The state fish commission
is interested in this phase of the in
vestigation.
Flathead lake is the largest body
of water in the state. It is about 35
miles long and 15 miles wide at the
widest point. It is the source of the
Flathead river.

CORFU, Greece, July 1. — (Corres
pondence of the Associated Press.) —
The "Corfiotes," as the Greeks call
the inhabitants of the island of Corfu,
are out to make their fortunes during
the brief sojourn of the 150,000 Serbs
and some 50,000 French, British, Ital
ians and Greeks, strangers to the is
land. The Corfiotes are of Venetian
tdood — descendants of a long line of
pirates and corsairs — and possessed
of a romanticism which enables them
Instead merely of doubling their j
prices, to put them up ten times —
and smile blandly about it.
The Serbs catnc out of Albania with
ragged uniforms and blankets. They
had to buy everything new, and the
Corfiotes was there to furnish it. Thej
Serbs are well paid (out of the cof
fers of the entente ) and it is impos
sible for them to seud money home to |
their families even if they want to. j
Consequently, the Corfiote asks what
ever price he likes and the Serb, hav
ng notiiing else to do with the money,
generally pays it. The readiest get
rich-quick operations in Corfu, how
ever, were speculative, not commer
cial. When the Serbs arrived on the
island a bt»aten army without a coun
try, what they brought with them in
the shape of money was largely Serb
ian paper currency. The Corfiotes
generally would not accept it, but a
few wise heads had the real instinct
of theii trading ancestors and bought
the Se ' 1 n paper in at 37 centimes
i ho Jii.ai, a depreciation of 63 per
i .t. When the allies decided to
.u. ranv ' the reconquest of Serbia
i.i: i the refitting of the Serbian army
began in earnest, there was a boom
in Serbian paper. Instead of 37 ten
i ■ es the dinar, it brought 30, and fin
ally, for all practical purposes, par.
In a few weeks those who had bought
at 37 had almost doubled their capital.
