That was a clever ruse a man tried
Yesterday to fool the voters in the schoo
election and have his better half elected
school trustee instead of the regular
nominee. Fortunately his sharp practice
did not work. and the people of Great
Falls will be unfettered in school mat
tiers.

DR.. Legard. who for some time past
has been post surgeon at Fort Assini
boine. has boon appointed to IA position

The reports that have gone the rounds
Of the press Of the northwest in regard
to suffering among the laborcrs on the
Pacific extension during the past winter.
seem to have been fabrications of the
vilcst sort. We learned yesterday from
a gentleman in a position 10 know
whereof he speaks. that the whole affair
has been groundlcssly exaggerated. That
life on railroad work is not quite So
pleasant as. loaiing in town no sane mar
can deny. and possibly there may have
been a few cases of frozen feet and
frosted faces out On the extension last
winter. but as for men going three
or four days without food and freezing
to death by the score. as reported, that is
all hosh. 1t is too difficult for the on
tractors to get a sufficient supply Of men
as il is without pursuing a policy which
would surely drive them away.
Peter Scims, the contractor on the cx-
tension. passed through on yesterdays
east bound train on route for "iiavre. He
has just returned from a trip over the
line now under construction and reports
everything as looking satisfactory at the
Summit and in the Flathead country.
He says the snow is disappearing fast in
the mountains and work will progress
very rapidly from now on. The reports
that reached here during the spell of bit
terly cold weather to the effect that sew
eral persons had frozen to death in the
mountains proves upon investigation to
be a vile falsehood. Mr.. Seims says so
far as he could learn only one man sue
cumbed to the extreme cold. who had
been injured and was unable to reach the
camp he was stopping at. He reports
times lively in the Flathead country.
