GIVE US CREMATION.

Ever since the keen eye of science dis
covered the infinitisimal microbe and
dragged him out Of his peaceful home in
oblivion to dispel II state of blissful
ignorance, that diabolical, unseeable has
worried mortals by a continual success
sion of nightmare horrors. One Of the
latest is this: That although the victims
the microbe kills die and are buried he
both refuses to die or to be buried.
"Pasteur's researches have proved that
earthworms bring up to the surface
microbes from the bodies of infected
animals buried several feet Deep" says
Science. Even years Of underground
life have no effect on the mut;nous, MUIR
derods microbc as proven by the fact
that ION the opening of a smallpox bury
ing ground in Quebec. 80 years old,
smallpox Immediately broke out among
the workmen." Humanity should be
quick to learn from this the moral that
cremation is the safest and sweetest
method of burial.

WANT To JOIN CASCADE COUNTY.

The movement on the part of the citi-
zens of Barker, Monarch and other min
ing camps in that section to be annexed
to Cascade county is in the right direc-
ton. 1t was a mistake of somebody that
that part of Meagher county was not in
cluded in the bill when Cascade county
was formed a few years ago. 1t was the
intention of the trainers of the law to
have it included within our, boundaries,
but the wrong parallel line was adopted
and 1T was not discovered until too late
to remedy. Now that the citizens Of
that section have taken the matter in
hand we hope that their efforts for an
%neXation will prove successful. Great
Falls capital is largely invested in devel-
oping their mines and our people are
greatly Interested in the question. They
should use every means at their com
mand to secur the passage of a law an
neXing that portion of Meagher county
north of the 47th parallel, and sufficient
territory south of it to include Ntihart,
to Cascade county.
Every interest demands that this be
done at this session of the legislature.
Senator Gibson fully understands the
inconvenience that the people of that
section labor under in having to go 10
White Sulphur Springs to transact their
legal business and will no doubt explain
the situation to his fellow-members of
the senate and secure the needed legis-
lation. The ores Of Barker, Neihart and
the other camps must come to Great
Falls for smelling and all the supplies
for these camps are purchased here, thus
making Great Falls the natural centre
all tho mining industries. and as a
result the legal business should be
transacted in Great Falls instead of at
White Sulphur Springs Push the an
neyation bill at this session.

THE LOUISIANA PIRCUASE.

To the far-seclng craftsmanship Of
many sided President Jefferson we are
indebted for the Louisiana purchase. or
the four great events in u history this
is an easy equal. They were the acqui-
sition of our independence from Great
i%iritain, the adoption of The federal con
stitution, the Louisiana purchase, and
the civil war-the last probably least in
far-reaching consequences. The pur-
chase included what is now Louisiana,
Arkansas, Missouri. Iowa. Minnesota,
the Dakotos, Nebraska, Kansas, part Of
Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Washing
ton, and Oregon. It's area is greater
than that part of the United States lying
east of the Mississippi river. 1t was
coded to France by Spain ia 1900. Ia
1903 B~onaparte was about to engage in
wal with England. then easy mistress of
the seas, and knowing his inability to

in effect controlled the whole region. he
wanted to sell the territory TO the United
States. lie needed money. 1t was
plainly better to sci! Louisiana to the
United States, thus securing it a great
future. than TO let it fall into the all
devouring nav of England.
President jefferson OWNED this and
sent James Monroe as a special envoy
charged with full powers to effect the
purchase and transfer. To do this the
president had to assume full power. Had
he waited for congress it is probable the
scheme would have met the same fate
as did that of Gen. Grant to annex jIayti

THE STREAMING TOWER. cult nature, The
plan of the engineer in charge was
to construct an embankment across
the mouth of the valley to intercept the
water of the Vyrnwy and store it. The
result has been to create a lake AZ miles
in length and from a quarter to three
eighths Of a mile in width. The en-
bankment or dam is LIE feet in length.
The wateris led from the lake through
a large strainirg tower built on q pro.
jecting piece of ground. No water can
reach this point until it has been in the
lake II considerable time. This building
is fitted with straining appliances of the
most ingenious design. and the water is
allowed to pass into the aqueduct only
after having first gone through copper
wire gauze having 14,400 meshes to the
square inch. and with an aggregate area
of 2,O3i square feet.
The aqueduct consists chiefly Of tun-
nels, through which the ultimate supply
OF 4O,0OO.O 600 gallons a day may be passed
without filling them, and three lines of
pipes varying in diameter from thirty
nine to forty-nine inches. Through
'Ac SItdtCt IdIt VI tIClT lclSln tne
pipes are buried beneath the ground, and
where this is not the case they are car
ried on archways or led through sub
ways. On the line are four balancing
reservoirs and tiltering beds.
In the construction of the viaduct
many obstacles were encountered-rail-
ways, canals and rivers. The crossing Of
the River Weaver was a formidable task,
three pipes being laid at once without
~obstructing the traffic.
The browning feat Of the engineer.
however, was the construction of the
tunnel under the NIcrscy at Liverpool,
through which pipes conveying the water
are led.
The cost Of the enterprise when all the
details are completed will be $40, 00O, UG3.

Day after day the Butte Miner con
tinues to direct personal advice to Mr.
Dixon and Mr.. Collins on what they
ought to do in the senatorial premises

of the Miners articles might be easily
called impertinent, ard some of them are
abusive.
In yesterdays paper Mr., Dixon is

Inns is as summarily required to speak"
Now, the Miner means well enough. but
its zeal oversteps its discretion.
The senatorial contest in Montana pre-
sents several conditions which have never
arisen in any similar contest. They are
unique in the present case, and the
Miner knows as well rs anybody else
exactly what they are. Neither Of the
candidates objected to by the Miner is

Mr.. Collins is not Il member OF the
Legislature and could not take an active
part in the caucus that nominated Mr..
Clark. Whether lie ever said, as the
Miner AYERS, that he would support the
candidate receiving nineteen votes or
not. il is certain that he did all he could
to secure Mr. Clark's election. but he had
no vote to give himself, and no man even
it disposed. can cudCel voters into line.
There is no earthly reason nor excuse
for the Miners reflections on Mr.. Collins,
and it is time such tactics were aban-
doned. The situation is phenomenal,
abnormal if you like, but it is "A fact and
as such cannot be avoided.
Most men expected to see a solid dem.
