phone company, was found dead in bed
yesterday. Death was evidently the re-
suit OF hard drinking. WILDER was chief
clerk in the electrical department Of the
patent office at the time Bells telephone

piled for. Subsequently WILDER ac-
knowledged having been bribed by the
Bell people, but denied this on the wit.

back in its presentation of the case.
Pending the trial OF the Bell case Wilber

officer, who brought him to Colorado in
hope of breaking him of the drinking
habit. In this the officer was successful
for time. For year Wilber has been
conducting the patent office IN this city.
He was cousin OF Ex-President Hayes,
and was considered one of the best electri-
clans in the country.

FORWARD.

The democratic convention which nom
mated Paris Gibson and 7. E. Collins
selected two prominent citizens who were
qualified by ability and experience to rep
resent the county worthily and zealously.
The delegates knew that Messrs. Gibson
and Collins would command the support
and confidence of business men and OF a
great many republicans who have solid
home interests and place men before
party when the welfare of Cascade county
is at stake.
The result has justified the wise course
of the convention. The popular candi-
dates have gained every day since their
nomination. In Great Falls, as well as in
Cascade, Kibbey and Belt, the people
have declared heartily and emphatically
for Messrs. Gibson and Collins, regardless
of party lines. Workingmen, as we'll as
merchants, have seconded heartily the
nomination made SO auspiciously on
Washington's inaugural day.
The good work proceeds actively. Let
there be no let up until both candidates
are elected by an emphatic majority OF
Tuesday.

GREAT industries continue to move
westward and flourish. This is again
shown by the contract which the Union
iron works in San Francisco have entered
into to build one of the large 1000 ton
cruisers ut a cost of $1.42S.0O0. Not
many years ago it would have been deem
ed absurd that San Francisco could COM
pete successfully IN shipbuilding with
the large concerns on the Delaware which
have iron and coal so near at hand. Great
Falls has like surprises in store for the
industrial world. Before long steel rails,
locomotives, railroad cars and other roll
ing stock should be made here. Around
us are material for all such articles.

VOTE E4RLY!

1t is CT the highest importance that
Cascade county shall poll heavy vote
tomorrow. In the first place we should
send Paris Gibson and 7. Z. Collins, the
true and tried friends of Cascade county,
to the convention, backed by the people
Such popular support should be express
ed in vote so strong and emphatic that it
will be understood and respected at the
convention and throughout Montana.
That strong vote will convince the con
vention that Cascade county is vigilant
and energetic; that she knows her rights
and is determined to maintain them.
These rights mean no unfarness or ILL
will toward Helena or any other place.
They mean that the location of the capt.
tai and of the state institutions shall be
decided fairly and freely, without any
provisions which would deny any city or
town in Montana ample opportunity to
make it's claims respected. In such mat
ters age, population or bank deposits
must not offset the popular will, for
statehood implies free for all race in
| which all towns and counties make an
equal start and are entitled to a Stree field
and no favor" "
In the next place the good name OF the
county requires that II heavy vote shall be
polled We must not be ontlone by any
other county in that respect. The vote
of each city and county throughout Mon
tnna will be closely criticised. The coun-
ty which polls the heaviest vote compar
ed with thatrecorded last year will receive
the palm for public spirit and patriotism
It will take rank as the banner county OF
Montana and will be respected according
ly in all coming conventions and cam
paigns
We owe it also to the renown OF oul
county and city that heavy vote shall
be polled tomorrow Our city is GROWN!

CREAM ERIES.

1t is lamentable fact that in all Mon
tana there is no creamery or cheese fac
tory like those in Dakota or Minnesota,
where a farmer sends milk to be made
into butter or cheese. Our people, who
are large consumers Of butter and cheese,
buy both largely in Minnesota and the
east, sending gold and silver in return for
what could be produced in abundance at
home.
Marked improvement has been made
here in dairy farming within the past few
years. Milk is now abundant and com
paratively cheap. Our people should
now 60 step further and adopt that CO
operative system which has produced
such good results in Minnesota, whose
dairy products can compare fayorably
