THE STRIKE COST $4,000.

The Expense of the Recent Trolley Strike
Made Pubic.
New YORK, May 27.-The executive
board of assembly No. 70. K. Of L, has
just made public the amount of money
that the late trolley strike cost them.
Altogether the sum of $13. 1899 was
expended. One of the largest items was
the expenditure of $4,010 to send nom
union men to the cities from which they
came.
This was kept up until the constant
and increasing drain made it impossible
to continue that method of warfare any
longer.

1t now appears that the long talked of
Castle road is about to be built. II this
be true, and there is no reason to doubt
it, the people of Great Falls had better
begin to open their eyes and at tho same

a mining camp and tho road may have the
effect of rebuilding it in the near future.
