THE L DAM.

Work of Construction Will Begin as Soon
as the Weather is Favorable.
The TRIBUNE today interviewed Mr..
Tanning, the engineer in charge of the
proposed dam across the Missouri at
Black Eagle falls, in regard to that enter
prise.
"Will the award be made to Mr.. White
sides?" was asked.
"That | can not say. 1t has not yet
been made. He is in hope Of complying
with all the requirements and may posi-
bly, begin work soon. If he does not,
however, somebody else will, and that
very soon. This present weather is not
favorable for work, anyhow, and if the
award had been made, the contractor
| would find it necessary to postpone a
| commencement of operations for atime."
Mr.. Tanning went to st. Paul today,
but during the summer will be in
| Great Falls much of the time, looking
after the work on the dam. Mr.. Parker,
his assistant, will be on the ground con-
stantly. Without question this will be
the most important enterprise undertaken
in Montana this year, barring only rail
road projects.

JUSTLY INDIGN Mt.
Alderman Johnson Complains Because
Children Are Locked Out of the
School House at Noon.


EDITOR TRIBUNE: ] desire to express
through your columns my surprise and
Indignation in view of the fact that chill
dren are turned out of Jul high school
building during the noo hour, and lock-
cd out, during these extremely cold days.
Many parents, some of them my neigh
bors, have complained bitterly to me
about this, and | determined to see for
myself today if any teacher or board of
trustees could be so inhuman and brutal
as to turn children, some perhaps not too
warmly clad, out in the bitter cold to eat
their lunch and SILVER until the after
noon hour. l found that such is abso-
lutely the case. On the outside of the
school building l saw seven boys, most
of them crying. One of them said to me
as the tears rolled down his cheeks, 81
would not care SO much if L had my
overcoat, but 1t is locked up in the build
ing" Ispoke to the teacher about it and
he as much as told me it was none OF my
business. He said he had orders from the
board of trustees to back him. If this is
true, | want to say it is an inhuman,
brutal order, such az l would little ex-
pect from DR.. Ladd and Frank Webster.
If this is true, | say the people of this
city must take some action that will
show these men that children must not
be treated in that outrageous
manne l have never heard of as
great an outrage and if /
had children in attendance at the
school would, if necessary, batter down
that school house door with an TX. | am
interested only in behalf of my neighbors,
whose children cannot get permits to re-
main in the school house during the moor
hour, and they are entitled to any privil-
eyes the children of other parents, with
more influence, may have.

well known in Great Falls, and if SO the
firm will be a strong and doubtless sue,
cessful one. Mr.. Steel says he has the
utmost faith in the growth and develop
ment of this city.
The sale of lots and land by the coun-
ty treasurer today attracted but few buy
ers and only a small proportion of the
property offered was bid on. The new
law allows but Is per cent. per annum to
the purchaser up to the time of redemp-
ton, so that the inducement is not so
great as heretofore. when go per cent
was the rate. The sale will be continued
tomorrow.

Newspaper Scrap Rooks.

Years ago, when poor schotlma'm, and
not able to buy pictures and story books for
the little ones at home, l saved with misers
care the finest and best of these that came in
my way, put them in small books with pretty
pictures on the covers, and made little eyes
and little ears glad for many lonely hour
when ''mither was awa'."
Then l began to save little clippings dread
to my pupils; poetry to lend to those scholars
who never could find a ''piece to speak," so
my scrap books grew, if not into things of
beauty" at least into never failing joys.

think my collection of poetry cannot be
surpassed by any publication of ''gems" or
collections" As books of reference, my
scrap books are unequaled, and are often a
sure source when libraries fail.
No topic is untouched in them, and it is a
common remark with my friends when my
scrap book is brought forth to clinch an ar
gument: "We might as well give up-Mrs.

Glass Ewes in Paris.

The Paris trade in glass eyes must be a very

manufacture.

No More Comnanx Manners.

It is no longer CONNIE il fault in polite cir
cles to have company manners company
clothes, company china and company cook
ing. What is good enough for the family
ought to be good enough for the guest. There
is no honor in terrapin, truffies, ices and
marrons, but there is honor in welcome to
a refined home and a cover at the table
where culture assemblies. Cordial hospitality
takes on an added grace when, forgetting self
and personal comfort, the hostess anticipates
the wants of the guests and manifests in in
Vulnerable attentions the esteem felt for them

A Magnetic Trick Investigated.

At frequently recurring intervals the daily
press make announcements of the alleged
wonderful magnetic qualities exhibited by
certain individuals who are able to make
various substances adhere to their hands
without exerting any muscular pressure upon
them. Au investigation has been recently
made by DIR. W. Simon, of Baltimore, which
proves pretty conclusively that causes other
than magnetism must be assigned to the OBJ
served facts.
The subject examined was able to main
tain, by mere contact with the fingers, a
weight of 800 grams, but it was shown that
this power was exercised only on very smooth
or highly polished substances, glass being the
most favorable in this respect The cause as
signed by DR.. Simon to account for the oh
served facts, and which is probably the cor
rect one, is the well known adhesion between
two bodies brought into such close contact as
to exclude the air between them, the pressure
of the atmosphere acting to maintain the
bodies in contact. 1t is, therefore, only g
question of the sinoothness of the skin which
would appear to be the qualification neces
sary to enable any one to manifest ''mag-
netic" properties Orleans Picayune.

Suitable Legs and Feet.

Every creature has the kind of legs and
feet best suited to it. Birds living in marshes
have long, slender legs like stills and some of
them are called ''stilt birds.' The large body
of the elephant stands upon four thick pillars,
the stag has supports of a lighter and nimbler
quality. Animals that get some of their liv-
ing in the water, as the beavers, offers, swans,
ducks and geese, are born with paddles on
their feet. The mole, again, is born with
spades on his forelegs, so that he may dig his
way through the ground, and the camel has
his feet carefully padded and his legs of suf-
ficient length to lift his head high above the
sand waves so that his eyes may be protected
from glare and dust. Detroit Free Press.
