Uses to BE an Important One.

The Next Gathering of the BODY Prom
ises to BE an Important One.
The mex session Of the TRANSIT issis-
sippi commercial congress will convene
in st. Louis on invitation of the Mer-
chants exchange of that city on Mon

bling of that body.
The territory embraced in the repre-
sentation to the congress includes all
states and territories lying west Of the
Mississippi river and those small por-
tions Of Louisiana and Minnesota which
lie east of it.
The object Of the congress is to dis
cuss all questions affecting the interests
Of the people in the foregoing territory,
which may be the subject of legislation
by the United States congress, and to
express to it, through resolutions and
otherwise. the sentiments of the western
people. 1t will also endeavor to take
such steps for the presentation of these
resolutions to that body as will COM
mand its attention and action.
While any such question may properly
be brought forward for discussion,
among those which are most likely to be
prominent are: "The Reconciliation of
Silver" "Irrigation of Arid and Other
Lands" 'Tbe Disposition of Indian and
Public Lands "The Nicaragua Canal"
"A National Bankrupt Law" "The I'm
provement Of Western Rivers and Har
bors," Anti Option Legislation" "Min-
ing Laws" Admission of Territories to

The Great Falls Water Company haye
decided to make a very important addi-
ton to their plant in the shape of two
large reservoirs, one to be locatedFon the
West side and n east of the city. It
was the original intention Of, the com
pany to put in these reservoirs this fall,
but owing TO some unexpected delays in
regard to getting title to suitable sites
work will have to go over till spring.
The Westside reservoir will be located
on the high benchiust h6fth of' the resi-:
dence OF 7. E. Collins, and the Other one
. w;h-be located on high pointr-of-la land
about a mile and a half southeast Of the
old city hospital, The coet Of the two
reservoirs will be- about $4,000, and

will have a large reserve force Of water

utilized to add additional power.
The most interesting item in con-
n%ection with the company's new improv-
ment is the fact that the city will not
only have a much improved water sup
ply, but the insurance boards have
agreed in writing with the water com
pany that as soon AS the latter puts in
its reservoir system as proposed they
will rerate the business property of Great
Falls and grant IA reduction Of 10 per
cent on the rate TO all property protected
by IA hydrant. This will result in IA say
ing TO the business men Of Great Falls
OF between $4,000 and $4,000 per an
num in insurance rates, so that tho new
reservoirs will serve d double purpose IN
increasing the protection against loss
from fire and at the same time lessen the
cost of insurance without adding any
additional burden on the community.

To the Editor of the World:
Our candidate for congress is making
a desperate fight. Reports are rather
favorable, though what seems to puzzle
is the strength Of the populists. They
have a very strong candidate. The race
will be very close. II the populist can.
didate we're out OF the race there would
be no doubt whatever as to the election
Of our candidate. The question is from
what party does the populist candidate
draw. ] am inclined to think from oul

The legislative ticket looks more hope
full. The indications are that We will
have a majority on Joint ballot.

A long list of signatures to an endorse
meht of. the petition of Il. d.. Joscelyn
to be appointed inspector of construc-
ton on the Central high school building
was presented. NJ. j. Holecher made ap-
plication for the same appointment. No
action was taken.
A. number of teachers submitted a
written protest against a rule requiring
two teachers to be on the play grounds
during recess and before the c%onvening
of the sessions. 1t was the unanimous
opinion of the board that the teachers
can as we'll endure inclement weather az
the pupils, and the rule was not res
cinded.
The superintendent was instructed to
reply TO an inquiry from Fort Shaw that
a person resident there could attend the
high school of Great Falls without pay
ing a tuition fee at present. Although
the entrance Of nonresident pupils will
crowd the schools at present, accommo-
dations will soon be provided, and the
attendance of pupils from other sections
will bring the city into much closer re-
lations with the surrounding country.
An estimate for $1,000. 90 per cent of
the value of labor and material furnished
by Mckay Bros. On the Central building
since the last estimate was allowed, was
ordered paid. The total allowed Mckay
Bros. to date is S9,19J.GG.
Several trustees stated that they had
observed that a small portion of the
stone work on the Central building
was not according to specifications.
Architect White stated that the work
was done during his absence from the
city and had been remedied since his re-
turn. In fact, according to the architect,
the stone work surpasses the require
ments OF the specifications. He invited
the trustees to visit the building fire.

1t was ordered that at some near date
the corner stone Of the new building be
laid with impressive ceremonies. The
usual services attendant upon such &C.

citizens will be present and an entertain

HALLsTEAD, Pa, Sept. 6.-The sec

which was red letter day for Hall

order it could not have been better.
The dense clouds Of smoke and dust
that had been lowering over us and
around US had been cleared away and
the day was bright and beautiful.
The town was very tastsfully de-
corated, every street and every house.

The proceeding OF the day closed
with a grand banquet and dance in the
enormous tent that had been erected
on the lawn in the rear Of Firsman's 8
hall for the occasion. Good order pre-
vailed throughout and the occasion
has been grand success in every way.
The day will long be remembered in
the history of Hallstesd.
Several other short addresses were
made by the mayor, gentlemen from
Scranton and others, interspered with
music from the different bands, all Of
which was of the finest. Then fol-
lowed the contest between the Scran-

won by the Hallstead Nay Aug.
The greatest laurels of the day were
those won by the Hallstead fire com.

hospitality. They could not do too
much for their guests.
