Details of II Building in Great Falls
Which Will BE Devoted TO
LahOringmen.

Great Falls is soon to have a structure
of which its citizens may feel proud as
1T will be dedicated to the use OF the la
boring men resident here. There are
hundreds Of men now employed in the
city, and constant accessions To their
numbers are being made. The various
unions are the Carpenters, A. +. Of L.,
S~tonemasons, Builders l.. J. F., Plaster
els, Brotherhood of Decorators and
Painters, Stonecutters. Bricklaycrs, CT
g~armakers, Tailors and Typographical
unions and the Clerks Protective asso-
citation. In addition to this the railroad
employees are organized, and the different
branches have representation here. This
city has the best organized labor system
in the state, and as good AS any in the
country.
For some time past the prospect of Il
hall in which to meet, and for other pur-
poses, has been in contemplation, and
the TRInrNE is informed that the build
ing is to bc constructed at once. 1t is to
be put up by Mr.. II. o. Chowen. and will
be leased by the labor council of this
city. The location is on Second avenue
south and Third street. and the structure
will be three stories in height, GJy90 feet
in size. with pressed brick and cut stone
exterior.
The first floor will be divided into
three compartments, two of which will
be used for stores and the remaining one
for a restaurant. The..second floor will
contain sixteen sleeping rooms. with
toilet rooms, etc. These rooms are de
signed for the occupancy of unmarried
men who are members of labor organi.

ing apartments convenient TO business
c%enters.
On the third floor will be- the main
lodge meeting room 3)xGO feet IN size
with an ante.room llXlS feet. There
will be in addition two other assembly

Falls will have II building for their cN.
elusive use which will in every way be
suited to their needs. The reading room
is d most desirable acquisition. and the
f~orethought in making provision fol
sleeping accommodations is very com
mcndable. The citizens are to be con
graduated on this monument to the la
boringmen, Mr.. Chowen is deserving ot
praise for his public-spirited action If

pany the miner puts I'm all the
money, does all the proving. while
the railroad company sits back and
laughs; and he must make this
proof upon each and every ten acre tract
Let me show you how the land office crn
draw the lines of a ten acre tract around
the shaft that has cost the miner n An
to sink and say: Inside these lines the
land is mineral; outside it is agricultural
and belongs to the Northern Pacific rail
road company. What shall the miner
do? Sink another $500 shaft on an
other ten-acre tract: He can do this if
he has money enough: ] haven't. Come
with me TO the courts and here Judge
Sawyer say: All land that was not
known to be mineral land prior to 1882
is agricultural land and belongs to the
Northern Pacific railroad company.
Hold! Here's an idea. The mine lies
on unsurveyed land. Application for
survey OF the township in which it is
situated has been made. The whole
township is mineral. There is not ten
acres OF agricultural land in the whole
township. The law says: ''The mineral
land shall be included in a general sur
vey.' Here is a chance for lis. Let us
go to the surveyor general, lay the prop
err proper proofs before him and have
him either exclude the township from
survey OF mark the words mineral land
upon the face of the plat. Then, accord
ing to the rules of the land office. the
burden of proof will lie with the railroad
company. 1t will have to put up all the
money. do all the proving. 1t will have
to sink the $500 shafts on each Of the
10 acre tracts. The miner can sit back
and laugh.
All! people of Montana, this is my case
