On Wednesday the Wickes tunnel was
opened for traffic and the first passenger
tram passed through with excursionists
from Helena to the Boulder democratic
barbecue. This tunnel is over mile In
length, being 6,O61 feet through. 1t
greatly shortens the distance between
Butte and Helena, reducing the running
time between the two points to 2 40. The
Montana Central uses the heaviest of steel
rails, Is pounds to the yard. The equip
ment of this line gets better all the time,
Its road bed is excellent, and it will soon
be able to compete with any other line
on all through points. Butte Miner.
Record: The sheriff of Spokane coun-
ty, Idaho, has sent news to all shcriffs of
this territory of the escape last week of
thirteen of his prisoners. The names of
the men who got away are James John
son, Thos. Burns, Geo. Reese, Geo Mil
ler, John Leonard, James Lane, John
Cellar, Joshua Sublett, Chas Williams,
Edward Spear, Edward Dwyer, James
Morris and W. F. Brown. For the re-
capture of the first five mentioned a re-
ward of $50 each is offered, and as there
is no remuneration connected with the
return of the remaining eight, they will

of them may soon help to swell Helena's
population.
Avant Courier: An excellent and most
encouraging campaign meeting was held
at Timberline on Saturday evening last.
A good delegation of live republicans
went from Bozeman by private convey
ance. They consisted of Hons. J. V.
Bogert, C. A. Carson, Cal. Edwards, W.
W Anderson, Sheriff Mitchell, Clerk and
Recorder McNaughton. Charlie Kr,eling
and ten members of the Rocky Mountain
cornet band. Mcssrs Axtell, Watson,
Penman and others, having had short
notice of the proposed meeting, had Sc
cured the large school house and had it
properly seated, warmed and lighted for
the occasion. The school house early in
) the evening was filed to its utmost capac-
lty and many stood around the windows
and door after the meeting was formally
opened. being unable to obtain standing
room in the building. By request of the
citizens Mayor Bogert presided and in
opening made neat and telling speech
in behalf of the county, territorial and
national republican nominees. The diff
ferent speakers were frequently applaud
ed, and the indications were unmistabable
that the audience was in full sympathy
with the views set forth. Timberline is
good for handsome republican majority
on November 9th.
Helena Herald: Within Montana the
delegate struggle is going to be the most
bitter aud personal one that has ever been
known in our history. 1t has already
reached that condition and the fault of it

named in Word After having once
opened on the line of personal abuse, he
gave the most positive assurance that he
would abstain. But, regardless of his vol
untary pledges, he took the first public
opportunity to prove his insincerity. He
has invited the assault and if he finds his

his ears, he can blame no one but himself,
He may defy public opinion for himself.
but its verdict will stand nevertheless.
Mr.. Carter has placed the responsibility
not only upon the utterer Of such vile and
false SANDERS, but upon those who employ
such advocates and do not exercise their
power to stop it. Mr.. Word will not be
allowed to throw mud and hide behind
Mr.. Clark. The amenities of civilized
warfare are out of place in fighting with
savages. For ourselves we do not intend
| to be diverted from the real issues of this
campaign which is to be settled by the
votes of decent and sensible men. The
republicans have policy which does not
need to be apologized for before Mon
tana audience, and they have nominated
men for positions whose records will bear
investigation AMI comparison. So, "Lay

ANNExING THE UNITED STATES
A new phase of the Canadian annex
alton question is presented by speaker
at public dinner given at Toronto last
week. The speaker was no less a per-
son than the Hon. j. NJ. Chapleau, Sec
retary of state, high official in the
Canadian government. He says:
Canada is now passing through a
| crisis clearly, coolly and wisely. In the
United States there is great excitement
| over the election and politics, but as the
English papers said, Canada has given
an example to the world in the cool
| way she has taken it. The United
States tried to frighten her with COM
| mercial union, annexation and unre-
Stricted reciprocity; but she was we'll
before and is better now, and does not
wish to change. The diplomacy OF her
premier will be vindicated on the 7th
of November, whichever party goes in.
