SANITARY PRECAUTIONS.
Prevention Better Tina Cure---Practica1
Suggestions.

Editor Tribuae-Sir: That the pros
perity OF a own or community depends
upon its healthfulness is an established
fact. That an ounce Of prevention IS
worth a pound of cure, is no more truth
full than in regard to the public health.
The most advanced medical minds Of the
day realize that the prevention OF disease
rather than the curing Of the same, is the
higher field of study. 1t seems to me
now that the warmer season is approach
ing, that it is the duty of this community
to arm itself as much as possible against
disaster in the form of sickness. This
place is no exception to all new towns.
In all places the very upturnlng OF new
soil gives rise invariably to a series of
troubles which cannot we'll be avoided.
These two sources Of trouble are una
~voidable, and must be endured; but there
are other potent factors of sickness in new
communities which, by a little fore
sight aud attention can be removed. I
have in mind the decaying vegetable mat
ter, which is allowed to accumulate about
residences, hotels, saloons, etc. Ii all
men were fairly informed in sanitary
matters it would be entirely unnecessary
to write letters; it would be equally I'M
necessary 10 form boards of health with
authority to pass upon and suppress nui-
sances, but such is not the fact.
It is evident to most of as that there
must exist a period in the immediate
future of this place when matters of this
kind must either be allowed to take care
Of themselves, or some one must take the
initiative in the matter, in what way | am
at this moment not prepared to say, but a
suggestion has been made that a general
fund might be established by subscrip-
ton Of citizens to be used in the cleaning
UP and the removal of garbage.
By the courts Of some Of the states 1t
has been decided that whatever produces
an unpleasant etf1uvia is a nuisance. and
must be suppressed, and unless every
%precaution is taken the time will GER
tain1y come when the weather becomes
warmer, that the whole place, because OF
these accommodations and decaylngs of
vegetable matter cannot be otherwise
than unhealthy. And this opinion is not
weakened when you study and consider
the character Of the soil and sul-soil
upon which our houses are located. It is
not my desire Mr.. Editor to appear as an
alarmist in this matter. The very fact of
the large amount of sickness which has
existed during the past winter points in
unmistakable terms to what the future
contains unless "being forewarned we are
forearmed," and act accordingly.
should much like to see the matter kept
constantly before the people until some
action shall be taken rather than to wit
ness the outbreak Of epidemies which,
under the circumstances would be most
difficult to suppress. Yours very truly,
J. G. B.

Montana Coal Fields.

The PhilipsbHrg Mail says. "The holt
day Miner contained an Interesting artl-
Gle on the coal fields Of Montana which
made no mention Of any coal in the vicin-
ity of Great Falls. Can it be possible
that the Miner has deliberately and with
intention neglected this coal, or is it that
nobody but the people connected with
the Great Falls Tribune know anything
about it, OF can it be-oh, narrowing
doubt, that there is no coal to talk
about
The Philipsburg Mail does the holiday
Miner injustice for the article by Walter
Cooper, therein says that extensive 'coal
deposits" may be traced along the Belt
range to 1.-THE vicinity of Great Falls and
Dearborn river, covering an aggregate
distance of $50 miles," Mr.. Cooper also
says that he was, perhaps, the first to To-
cate a coal claim in Montana. 1t was at
the Dearborn river. This coal was tested
at the Detroit gasworks @'where it was
pronounced a very superior article for
gas purposes; in fact equal to some of the
best Goals of England" 1t is a pity to
spoil the fun of our facetious contempor-
airy, but if he will come here he will see
in course Of completion a railroad, cost
ing about $250,O0O, which is being built
to connect this city with the Sand Coulee
coal fields. If he wishes to make a con-
tract for a hundred thousand tons Of coal,
colonel Broadwater will, no doubt, be
glad to accommodate him.

ACCIDENT AT THE BRIDGE.
Two Workmen fall into the Water and
Receive Severe Injuries.

The workmen at the railroad bridge
were engaged yesterday in filling the
piers with stones to make them solid and
protect them from the ice whena sad &C
cident took place. As the car laden with
stone was passing from Il pier to
another, near the center of the bridge,
the plank on the north side snapped and
the car fell into the water, carrying with
it Charles Leedy and John Piper who
were propelling the car on the north side.
The fall was about 90 feet. The men at
the other side of the car at once strove to
rescue them. Happily the water from
the dam had o%verf1owed and partly melted
the solid mass of ice which lay beneath
the piers a few days ago. The shock was
therefore less severe, but in some
way the men had become %entangled with
the car and their heads were under the
water when their comrades descended to
rescue them. They We're promptly
hauled out and it was found that Leedy's
leg had been fractured near the knee and
that Piper had received severe wounds
about the head. Doctors Ladd and Longe-
way were promptly in attendance and
everything possible was done for the re-
lief of the wounded men who bore their
injuries bravely. The roadway at the
bridge was soon repaired and work went
on as usual. ~ 81

NEARLY COMPLETED.
THE SAND COULEE BRANCH READY
FOR THE RAILS.
A Model Railroad for Passenger, Coal and
General Freight Business---The Route
of the Road - Light Grades
and Easy Curves.

The Sand Coulee branch of the Mon
tana Central railroad is now ready
for the steel rails, which will be conveyed
over the railroad bridge as oon as that
structure is completed-probably a week
or two hence.
It is now possible to follow the Sand
Coulee road from beginning to end.
Starting from the end of the railroad
bridge the track turns due south and
skirts the bank of the Missouri for about
two and a half miles. 1t touches George
Junkln's ranch and then turns due east,
running about seven miles in that direc-
ton, passing through the lands of Reid,
Ogilsby, Field, Lee and Collect. Then the
track turns due south and goes through
the ranches of Dean, Ernest, Bywaters
and Anthony to the Montana Central coal
fields at Sand Coulee, the present terminus
of the road.
w. P. Watson, the eminent railroad
engineer who surveyed most of the Mon
tana Central railroad and has had charge
of the survey and construction of the
Sand Coulee branch, says:
"The terminal facilities at the coal
fields are admirable, the entire shunting
of the cars being done by gravity. The
road has been constructed with special
reference to sno drifts, and may bid de-
fiance to such interruptions. The road
will be first class in every respect. The
adverse grades from the mines to Great
Falls are very light, being in no instance
over IA feet to a mile. The road is so con
structed that one engine will be able to
do all the shunting and transport to the
main lines of the Montana Central or
Manitoba when the traffic amounts to
1000 tons a day or upwards"
The Sand Coulee road passes through a
good farming region, and will be of much
service e. to ranchmen in conveying produce
to market. It will be extended this
season to Neihart and other min
inc camps in the Belt mountain
mining region. This projected line is
marked on the maps issued by the Mani
toba road. =1
Mr.. Hepner is conducting mining oper-
ations actively at the coal fields, and it is
expected hat before long there will be
abundance of coal on hand to meet the
large demand. Inquiries have been re-
ceived for this coal from Benton, and
large shipments will be made to Helena,
Butte and other places.

Opposed to Tariff Reduction.

PETTsBURG, June l3.-At to-day's ses-
sion Of the Amalgamated Association of

resolutions were submitted by the tariff
committee and adopted:
ReSOtced, AS representatives of the
iron and steel workers of the United
States In convention assembled, we are in
favor OF the sentiment of America for
Americans" native and na~turalized.
ResOtUed, That in our Judgment the
citizens and industries of this country can
not be protected in any better way than
by placing a protective tariff on arti-
cles imported from other countries
that can be produced by our
own people, in order that those who pro-
duce them may be better able to demand
that to: which as citizens and up
holders of this government they are Justly
entitled to, an equitable share of the pro-
fits of their toll to maintain their families
in decency, that they may be able to edu-
cate their children and teach them as they
advance toward manhood to defend the
principles of our system of government.
ResOtged, That we are most emphati-
cally opposed to any reduction of the
present tariff, and we hereby express our
unqualified condemnation of the proyis-
ions of the Mills bill, believing as we do
that its adoption as a law would be detri-
Dental to the interests of American work
men, and we respectfully call upon our
representatives in congress to vote against
