THE QUERY BOX.
County Clerk Bailey Receives All Kinds
of Communications.

Missoula, Dec. 27.-County Clerk Bal
ley has a drawer in his desk at the
court house in which he files the re-
quests for statistics OF the county,
which he receives from various sources.
These letters ask all manner of ques-
lions. Some inquire as to business and
professional openings in the county;
some are written to learn of the loca-
ton of missing friends: some want to
know about the climate, soil, water
supply, Indians, wild animals, sheep,
cattle. horses, hay. grain. fruits and
other resources OF the county; some
ask about the county Indebtedness;
some about the county's criminal rec
ords. There is every conceivable sort
of inquiry.
Nearly all of the seekers after infor-
nation forget to enclose stamps. and II
Mr.. Bailey answered all of them, 1t
would keep him poor buying postage
stamps. All of the letters are laid
away to wait for time in which to an
swer them, and for some of them that
time never comes. Mr.. Bailey tries to
answer all that will benefit the county
in any way. but he would have to be an
encyclopedia II he replied to all of
them. Many seem to be written out of
pure curiosity. and are not worthy Of
any attention. Such do not receive any
extended consideration.

BRITISH REDSKINS
THE GOVERNOR HAS TAKEN
THEIR CASE IN HAND.
Rotations I'm the Fisthead Country The
Buffalo Killing Case OF the Park.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, Dec. 27.-Since last June a
large amount of correspondence has
been going on between Governor Rick
ards and A. w. Vowel, Indian superin-
tendent of Victoria, b. c., in reference
to the depredations of Indians on the
American side of the border in the
Fiathead country. Three British In
dams were fined $3.50 for violating the
game law, and Superintendent Vowel
tried to get the governor to remit the
fine. This he refused to do. Then the
superintendent wrote the governor in
tirnating that he had been misinformed
as TO the depredations of the Indians,
and enclosed was a statement of To-
baeco Plains settlers which denied any
serious depredations on the part of the
Indians, but admitted that deer had
been killed out of season.
Governor Richards to-day replied to
Superintendent Vowell's letter, saying
in part: 81 did not communicate with
you unadvised as to the situation. The
statement from settlers on Tobacco
Plains, to which you refer, confirms the
charges made in reference to the kill
ihgCof deer. Violations of the game law
are severely punished and must be
stopped Many complaints reach the
executive office from the Flathead
country as to depredations committed
by Indians from over the border, and /
shall lay the matter before the proper
authorities in Washington with a view
to o. securing protection for the state
from the wards of the British govern
ment.'

GOOD FOR PLACERS.
The Heavy Snow Fall Makes Glad the
Miners Hearts.

Missoula, Dec. 27.-Farmers and pla-
Ger miners are pleased with the heavy
snowfall in the mountains and the
prospects Of a generous supply OF water
next summer. 1t is said that the pres
ent depth of snow is about twice as
great as IL was last year at this time.
and the indications are that IL will in
crease greatly during the next two
months. On the Bitter Root mountains
and on the Idaho divide IL has showed
every day for the past two weeks and
reports from other ranges indicate a
large amount of snow.
If these indications prove correct,
next year ought to be a banner year
for Western Montana. There has been
a vast amount of development work
done on placer grounds in the last two
years, and many claims that have new
er been worked are now ready for prof
liable operation. Beside these, there
are others which have yielded profita-
bly, in past seasons. but which have not
been as successful as they would have
been had there been more water. III
there Is a good supply next summer.
all these properties will be worked to
good advantage, and there will be more
men employed than for many years
heretofore.

NARROW ESCAPE.
Eut the Northern Pacific Bridge Over
NIark's Fork Is Intact -. - =

t1ark's Fork Is Intact ~. .
Missoula, Dec. 27.-The Northern Pa
cific bridge over Clark's Fork at
Perma had a narrow escape from de-
struction by fire on Christmas morning,
The bridge is a temporary one, which
is doing service while the new iron
structure is being built 1t was about
3 o'clock Wednesday morning when
the night Waterman discovered flames
In one of the old piers and the fire was
burning quite strongly. 1t had evil
IDENTIFY been started by cinders from the
pile driver engine which had been at
work on the bridge during the day and
had smouldered undiscovered through
the night, although the watchmen had
made several careful inspections of
the bridge during that time.
The breaking out of the flames was
Immediately discovered by watpt,f
man who speedily gave the alarm and
in short time the entire bridge gang,
so men In all, was at work fighting the
fire. 1t was the work of few minutes
for this force to get the fire under con-
troll. but before this was accomplished,
about so feet of the bridge and the
false work had been seriously DANCED.
General Foreman Dillingham; lmme-
diately put his entire force of men ZIP
on the bridge and the work of repair
ing the DANCE was done expeditiousiy
and in an excellent manner. So rapidly
did the men do the work that the
bridge was put into shape for the pas
sage of regular trains without any de-
lay. This is considered by railroad,
men to be one of the best pieces OF
bridge work ever done on this division,
and Mr.. Dillingham; deserves compli-
ment for the expeditiousness with
which he accomplished the really diff
cult work.

Missoula, Dec T.-Colonel Burt and
Major McKibbin have been making a
skating rink on the parade ground at
Fort Missoula for several weeks, but the
Ice has not formed satisfactorily until
this week on account of the variable
weather. On Sunday and Monday, how
ever, the freezing was good and on Tues
day the ice was cleared of snow and
made ready for skating. Christmas day
found the rink well crowded with merry
skaters and much practicing was done for
the skating party which was given last
evening.
A huge bonfire was kfndled early last
evening and scores of bright lights hung
around, making the scene a brilliant one.
The regimental band gave an open-air
concert and all of the officers, with their
families, participated in the merriment
on the ice. 1t was one of the pleasantest
affairs of the season.

coming business is still rather heavy,
as tardy Christmas packages arrive.
In the express office Agent Ludlum has
been keeping late hours for four days.
the extra business keeping him at his
desk until and o'clock in the morn
ing. He has not yet made his reports
for the past week, but he estimates
the holiday business this season as a
little below that of year ago. AL
though the number OF packages han
died was considerably larger than in
1894. they were lighter and the pro-
ceeds will not foot up as high on this
account.

DOGS NIGHT And DAY

REFORM AGENCIES ARE LAX

Missoula, Dec. 27-The anti-dog agi-

the Styx to make life miserable for
Cerberus by yelping and swapping at
him as he tries to take an afternoon
nap at the gates of Hades or else

ness for ST. Peters poundmaster.
The proverbial slowness of the city
council leaves the long-sufferirg public
but little hope Of relief from that
source. unless some very radical steps
are taken to force the aldermen to
action. Unless something is done i'm
mediately towards relieving the sit
uation, the Missoula Board of Trade
will be asked to take up the matter.
which is certainly one Of vital import
ance to the city. The Mandolin club
will hold a meeting this week TO con-
slider the question, and every other
agency OF reform that can be pressed
into service will be requested to bring
its influence to bear upon the city ia

which infests the city. 1t is believed
that the A. p. A. will lend hand as

streets gives Missoula a decidedly un-

IA hey himself on the shores of the
Bosphorus, were IL not for the snow
and, the dogs are such a nuisance that
the snow is sometimes forgotten.
These wretched CANNES have organ
ICED two shifts and they make night
ana day alike miserable. Ali of the
musically inclined beasts have been
put on the night shift and they wan
der up and down the streets giving
serenades which are Wig

day shift are those that are fleet Of

at passing horses and incite runa-

all the afternoon. The mornings they
devote to foraging. Whatever the
hour, under this system there are al
ways dogs on the street and plenty of
them. There Is ample need OF reform
here and a splendid opportunity for
the present city administration TO
show that its reform proclivities are
not solely In the direction of getting
even with somebody. II the reform on
tap at the city hall is OF genuine brew,

GOOD NEWS.

The fact that work was 10 commence
on the pipe line of the power plant
Tuesday next. as announced in The
Herald yesterday morning, was another
piece of Information which Ogden peo-
pie appreciated very highly.
1t is the intention to put a large force
on the work Tuesday morning, and CoEey
Bros, of this city, will be the firm OF
contractors that will have charge OF the
work. About fifty men will commence
throwing dirt and blasting rock early
Tuesday morning, and from that time
on there will be lively times up in the
canyon until the pipe line i competed.
The work that will be done now is the
excavation for the conduit, and just as
soon as the material for the pipe line
can be got on the ground a large force
of men will be employed in its construc-
ton. It will be necessary to blast a
great deal of rock and run two or three
tunnels in order to carry the conduit
high upon the side of the canyon, so
that the necessary fall can be obtained
for developing the power.
Applications for work are pouring in
upon the contractors. and there is no
reason to think that a. sufficient force
of men cannot lie obtained to complete
the work on time. All the workmen
employed will be residents OF this city,
except the foreman for the chief con-
tractors
