GREAT FALLS, Mont, October Especial
to the Miner by Rocky Mountain Tele
gr~aph.1-The important deal by which the
Manitoba railroad becomes absolved in q
system to be known as the Great Northern
railway excited comment here. 1t is
stated on good authority that the deal
issues the speedy construction of the Paei-
fc extension from here to the coast. The
route will probably be up the Sun River
vall,y and thence over the main range OF
the Rockies. The extension may be built
direct to the coast OF may connect with
some railroad that is extending eastward.
It is also stated that James J. Hill will
in control as heretofore. but he will
havea as associates powerful capitalists rep
resenting part of the allied interests.
Meanwhile, the building OF the railroad
from here to the Baker and Neihart mining
regions will proceed actively. Donald Grant
says that the entire route will be covered
with teams next week, Kirkendall OF
Helena, and outfit is expected tomorrow.
Outfits are also coming from DEVILS Lake,
Dakota, and other eastern places. The
contractors are ready to keep up with the
engineers who are stalking out the route.
This and other Montana enterprises, such as
the Montana Central will profit by the
Great Northern railway deal, which insures
abundant capital for extensions, and allies
Montana with a powerful railroad sys.
tenn. The Great Falls and Canada railway
from here to Lethbridge will be about 21O

ANOTHER CHANGE 4
The Montana Uniop Is Again Given In
Charge of q New Superintendent.

The Montana Uniop is Again Given In
Charge of a New Superintendent.
Railway circles OF this city were unusually
disturbed yesterday by the announcement
that Robert Law, general superintendent
OF the Montana Union, had resigned, and
that w. b. Baldwin had been appointed to
che vacancy. No ONE in the employ Of the
road had any idea Of the change, although
some OF them had scented something in the
air. Therefore when Mr.. Baldwin walked
into the Office yesterday morning and pre-
sented his credentials, the effect on every.
body except Mr.. Law was as il a bombshell
had exploded in the building. The circular
announcing the change il from Union Pa.
ciic headquarters at Omaha, and reads as
follows:
"Mr. Robert Law having resigned as
superintendent of the Montana Union
railway company, by virtue Of authority
received by the presidents OF ths Union
Pacific and Northern Pacific railways,
Mr.. William II. Baldwin is hereby APP
pointed general manager OF the Montana
Union railway company, taking effect Sep
TEMPER 5U."
The circular is dated September az and
il signed by W. II. Holcomb. vice president.
No cause for the change is mentioned and
Mr.. Law himself was found to be disin-
clinsd to talk Of his reasons for resigning
and OF his plans for the future. He has
been regarded as q very efficient manager
and is given creditor many improvements,
especially in the passenger department.
He has been made many friends during his
residence Of eight months in Butte, all of
whom will regret his actiona and join in the
hope that he may not seek other fields for
his labors. His successor Mr.. Baldwin, is
a very popular and capable man and is
we'll known here, having been the Union
Paciic's general agent at this point some
years ago. He was at headquarters in
Omaha for q short time after leaving
Butte and later was the general manager
OF the Leavenworth division Of the road.
1t is not yet known what changes, il any,
he will makein the personnel OF the Mon.
tana Union force.

to remain in it's present location, and hai
constantly urged hat the Broadway lot
be sold, said that $4,000 still remained ia
the city hall fund, as the broadway lot
had only cost the city 5000. By accept.
ing the offer made to sell the city q lot
adjoining the present city hall a frontage
OF forty-three feet would be obtained,
much larger than the lot on Broadway;
besides the city would be saved the cost
Of putting up three walls, as the walls Vi
the present building could be utilized.
Mr.. Mulville said that an offer OF $500
had been made for the present city hall
and that at least SIS. 900 could be ra sed
ny private subscription from property
own rs on Broadway to assist the city in
putting up a suitable building on Broad
way and one OF which the citizens could
feel proud. Those two propositions be
considered worthy Of consideration.
Mr.. Shaw then called for his motion, and
voting in the negative. The chair ap-
pointed Messrs. Shaw. Goodale and Null
vile as such committee. although the two
latter gentlemen accepted their appoint
ment under protest.
Mr.. GoodaIe then called councils atten-
tion to the necessity OF affording the peo-
pie Of the northern portion OF the city
protection from firethan they now

ize q hose company OF employees
Of the Gagnon company, and as
the company had q fire pump
ready for service at q moments notice,
with the amount Of hose asked, that part
Of the city between Montana and Main
could be reached from the Com
pany's works and much property might be
saved from destruction before the city de- |
partment could reach that neighborhood.
The matter was discussed at some length |
after which Mr.. Pinkham moved that the |
city clerk be instructed to advertise for |
| 500 feet of 3-ply cotton hose. bids
10 be submitted Wednesday evening. The
prevailed. Mr.. Pinkhsm said that
the Brigade had lost 500 feet OF hose at
Sundays fire and that it was no'more than
that the city should make the
amount good. especially as the hose d
Was the property OF the Brigade
and paid for by it's IN members. His and
also the suggestion OF Mr.. Goodale were
discussed and the couI.cil tacitly agreed
to act on both.
The fire committee recommended that
fire plugs be erected as follows:
One on the corner OF Columbia and Park
one at the corner OF Idaho and
Mercury; one at the corner of Washington
and Mercury and one at the corner OF Ari-
and Mercury. Report adopted.
J. r. Wharton, in behalf OF the Silver
Bow Water company, offered to put up
4uadruple hydrants on Mainstreet in place
Of the double hydrants now used at a cost
to the city of $40 per north extra for each
hydrant. The offer was not accepted. Mr..
Wharton then said that the company
would furnish free water for four public
drinking fountains that the city might see
to erect at such places as the council
select. No action taken. q.

orence to Judas Iscariot carried with IL
suggestions OF facts In ancient history that
were highly unpleasant to several Of the
ieaders in Montana Republican circles.
The last moves determined upon by Mr..
Hirschheid and his co-laborers were that
when. the Republicans get control OF the
state legislature they will send either the
reverend knight or Aleck McCune to the
United States senate. and will pass a law
imposing an annual license fee upon each
Democrat now in Montana, or who may

Principal Industry.

Principal Industry.
Several large producing mines are still
lying idle owing to the great scarcity of
water.
Alice shipped fourteen bars via Anacon-
da express yesterday OF an estimated value
of $50, 76s,
A new shaft is being sunk on the Glen
garry south OF the lid working . Theshaft
is now down about thirty feet.
The ore being worked in the Parrot
smelter at present is obtained from the
Champion, a location North OF Burlington,
which the company owns.
The Parrot company is sinking a well at
it's smelter with the hope OF striking water
sufficient to supply the plantand makeitin
dependent OF the ole source of supply. Con-
siderable difficulty is experienced in sinking
owing to q~uicksand.
The new smelter just completed by the
P. ]. Kelly Mining company at Argenta,
will be blown in next Saturday. In conse-
qrence OF the excellent outlook OF the prop
erty the company has decided to withdraw
it's treasury stock on the market after the
18th inst.
1t is reported that the Climax mine and
mill near the divide are to be started up
shortly under the management OF Mr..
Shober, of Helena. Considerable p-slimi-
nary work and many alterations will have
to be made, it is ella med before the proper
ty can be operated at q profit.
j. R. Boyce, Jr., received a telegram
from superintendent Sparks OF the Red
Lion, announcing that the vein had opened
out until it now was 1S feet wide. Mr..
Sparks also stated that the vein was still
growing wider with every foot sunk. The
stock has advanced to rs cents a share.
The Champion mill near Deer Lodge is
rapidly nearing completion and will soon
be in operation. Much OF the machinery
is already on the ground. The machinery
will consist OF a 6D-inch White & Howell
rooster, a rotary dry, a Blake crusher and
twenty stamps, besides the necessary en-
CINE, boilers, pumps, etc.
After lying idle over q month on account
of the scarcity of water, the Moulton mill
began running again last Friday. Although
not having any too much water, enough is
obtained to supply the works and no far
ther suspension OF operations is antici-
pated. During the time the mill was idle
work was being carried onin the mines and
a large supply Of ore taken out.

His Schemed Failed.

Mrs. Nina Martin, who was arrested
soon after IL o'clock yesterday morning
for discharging firearms in the city limits.
she having shot a pistol three weeks ago
when she had trouble with her husband,
secured bail yesterday and later in the day
had her case continued for a few days. II
now appears that Mrs. Martins husband
wants a divorce from her and the custody
of the two children. Unless he can show
that she is not q proper person to have
care of the little ones he can not take them
from her by law. He caused her arrest to
be made in the dead hour of night, think.
ing that he might discover evidence to help
him in obtaining a divorce snithe children.
His scheme was not successful.

REPUBLICAN, PLANS.
What the Leaders of the Party In Montana
Will Do Now, Poo innings.

WIN LIZ
l.. II. H~irschield cameto town yesterday
from Helena. His arrival was the sigma
for a rally OF Republican leaders. Ihey
met Mt the McDermott. ~ After comm'sera-
tions had been passed around promlscu-
ouslv. and after each man present bad ex-
n,a;ned iust how the battle was fought
lost, the plan OF future was
drawn. The exact wording OF the agree
ment cannot be given, but it is understood
that, first Of all, they will have all the hs-
publican clerks and judges oil election ar
rested for permitting SO many Democrats
to vote. Then they will prosecute all the
other clerks and iudgesfor aiding
ting the election by being Democrats.
When these two steps shall have oeen
taken, they will file complaints against all
the Democratic voters for casting bailotsad
verse to the interests o! the g. o ifthe
complaints stick they will secure the relsc-
t;op NJ the returns from all the precincts
allowing Democratic maiorities, and v
onlv the Republican tickets counted: In
ths event Of failure on the last proposition
thew will see to il that none OF the Demo-
cratic leQ~islators-elect are permitted to
take their seats, and that the county Of
6cers are divided up among the deputy
United States marshals, whose work on
Tuesday was calculated to help the COM
mon cause OF R~epublieanism. ..
Another clause OF the agreement, IL Is
said, was to the effect that hereafter tne
names OF none except Republican ana
dates should be printed on the omcial
tickets, This would obviate the necessity
OF giving out printed slips reading: = can
neither read, write nor speak English. l
want the Republican Judge to make out
straight Republican ticket" 1t would
also reduce the expenses OF the
campaign and would make it i'm
possible for the Democrats to secure o
victory at any time hereafter. In this
connection the gentleman passed a reso-
luton Of thanks to the man who first
thought of the printed slip racket.
One OF the conferees suggested the pro.
priety of passing other resolutions compli-
menting Judas Iscariot Carter for his po-
litical acumen shown in knitting Power, but
it was thought that such an endorsement
would be regarded as favoritism, and that

JUMPED THIRTY FEET.
An Unknown Prisoner Escapes by Taking
Dangerous Chance.

Dangerous hance
Shortly before noon yesterday Officer
McLaggan was called to the Theatre
Comique to arrest a man accused OF steal
ing $32 in cash from one of the attaches OF
the place. He found the man he was after,
notified him of his arrest and started out
with his,prisoner. The latter was not pre-
pared to 60. He broksawa yirom'the Off
Ger, rushed up stairs and withoutthe least
hesitation Jumped out Of tbe-rear window
OF the second story and since that time
has not beer. seen although the most dill
gent search has been made for him.
1t was a wonder that the jumper was not
so seriously hurt that his capture could be
effected without difficulty but his disap-
pearance and the inability of the police to
locate him, his name being not known,
prove that he escaped uuharmed. The
window from which be jumped is fully
thirty feet from the ground. The lot on
which the Comique stands slopes to the
rear, 40 that the rear windows are much
higher from the ground than are the win.
dows in front.

make q short connection, the mayor on
motion, wal instructed to employ a man
to make the necessary connection.
This instruction resulted in bringing Mr..
Goodale to his feet in search OF knowledge
relative to the much discussed location Of
the city hall. He asked il the committee
to which the matter OF selecting a
site wal left sometime ago had
concluded to allow the city
hall to remain in it's pres
emit location. He saw no use in
connecting the present building With the
water service, unless it had been decided
to allow the city's headquarters to remain
where they were. To add improvements
to the present cite looked very much like
anticipating the committees actions.
Tt was Mr.. Shaw's turn now. He said
that the city had been offered twenty-five
teet of ground adjoining the present CITY
building on West Park street, for Sc, 900.
An offer of $4,000 for the city's Broad.
way lot had been made, which would leave
the city a gamer of 81. 900. provided the
offer were accepted and the lot purchased
adjoining the present city. Although the
old building had been advertised for sale,
no offers for it had been made, and
it began to look very much as il the
city hall had to remain where it was. He
then moved that the mayo apppinta COM
mittee OF three to secure an option on the
Sc, 900 lot so as to obtain timein which to
sell the Broadway lot and that the COM
mittee be given full authority to buy one
and sell the other.
Mr.. Goodale said that the gentlemen,
meaning Messrs. Mueller and Shaw seemed TO
think that the shortage in one Of the city's
funds affected all others. and for that
reason were anxious to cut down Ill around.
He said plenty OF money remained in the
city hall fund to put up such a building and
was desired and that, too, in an eligible
locality.
Mr.. Pipkham favored Mr.. Shaw's propo-
sition and said that with the difference in
the price OF the two lots the city could buy
the ground in the rear of the present city
hall, thus swing the city a frontage on
Galena street. The price asked was $1,000.
Mr.. Mueller, who has all along been q
! strong advocate OF allowing the city hall
