OUT OF COAL AGAIN.

WI W ~SSe SSS''
A cheerful little item floating among
the of the state says hat
there are upwards of two hundred
cars of Rock Spring coal now in the
yard mt Anaconda which, with the
Sand Coulee coal in stock, would per-
NIT the Anaconda works to tide rel
any blockade that is apt to occur"
1t il time to a this wandering
waiiet i'm. There was a time, not long
ago, when two hundred cars loaded
with coal stood i'm the Anaconda yard.
These. with eighty additional cars were
unloaded i'm less than fifty hours after
their arrival. Since then n daily sup
ply mas been interrupted and the dis
agreeable fact is that, within forty
eight hours, n smelters in this
city will shut down for lack OF coal,
unless, by extra effort. the Union Pa
ciic manages to haul into town the
trains loaded with coal and scattered
now along the Idaho division.
Under ordinary circumst ances two
hundred carloads of coal would pass for
a pretty liberal stock. 1t must be re-
membered. however, that, i'm the new
smelter Mt Carroll alone, sixty
Brueckners are rolling their lazy
round day and night, with nearly
twenty mating furnaces to keep pace
with them, while h upper forks are
under full Roadway. The fires at the
works eat up t~hirty-six carloads of coal
every day, n consumption often being
excess of this amount, SO that the
famous two hundred in the Anaconda
yard cannot be regarded Ms n defense
against u very long n trying winter.
II the works across the creek are
forced to close it will be n downright
pity. At the mines i'm Butte

keep up the supply of ore in spite of
the fire i'm the Anaconda. Word came
from Marcus DAILY, yesterday, To keep
the works running IL thai can possibly
be done General Manager Baldwin
has his road i'm excellent condition and
can crowd supplies forward from Silver
Bow. Il will be a pity indeed il, for its
part, the railroad that ought to meet
any emergency this country a pre-
sent, should leave us all in the lurch.
Would that the little item we have
quoted were true and that w hundred
cars loaded with coal stood in the Ana
conda yard this morning. The sight of
them would please many hundred
wOrkingmen this morning.
HERE YOU HAVE 1T.
Here's news for you: here's the real
stuff. 1t is editorial comment in the
Omaha Bee, which says:
The Chicago Herald asserts that the Montana
'ssenators" are representative corporation attor-
neys. II the Herald refers to the democratic
pair, its assertion is the essence Of truth. Major
ndante Of Colonel Broadhead, one OF the demo-
cratic big four and president of the Manitoba
system In Montana. Billy Clark, Maginnis'
mate, In the consulting political engineer of the
Montana Union, the connecting link Of the Union
and Northern Pacific roads.
1t must he that those newspaper fel
lows over in Helena are sending out
untruthful dispatches again. As for
this Colonel Broadhead, this newspaper
never heard of him. We pleasantly re-
call genial Colonel Broadwater, but il
is not within Our knowledge that he il
president of the Manitoba system i'm
Montana. But what of that other son
of Montana, whose closest friends know
him as wv. A." and whose politico-
railway relations, as recited by the
Bee, are the most juicy joke of the
eventful year. lie will probably for
give the misfit because of h muse
ment it embodies. bat il ever he goes
to Omaha, will he not linger patiently
about till the fellow doth appear who
dared to call him Billy? Our opinion
il that he will.
