Bro. Dare, of the Elk River Star
News says: "A man by the name Of
VIM. E. Lee could get a cordial sup
port for the Republican congress
siOnal nomination" Other counties
in this congressional district are be-
ginning to trot out candidates for
congress and why not Morrison?
Among our available congressional
timber may be mentioned w. M.
Fuller, c. B. Buchanan and G. A.
Lindbergh. Ban ner.
Conditions may make it advisable
for Morrison county to present a To-
cal candidate. While the Banner
may have it's own ideas as to avail
able timber, there is no probability
that either OF the first two parties
named will consent to the use of
their names-for reasons that now
appear insurmountable. Morrison
county has several first class Repub-
leans who would make able and re-
liable congressman, and there are
none who would receive more loyal
support than Mr.. Lindbergh, should
he care to accept the support of Nor
rison county.

owners claim that owing to the
ground being frozen, it would incur
great additional expense in building
the sidewalk.
Maj. A. G. Morrill, appeared before
the council, and asked that the city
council relinquish whatever claim it
had to the land occupied by st.
Gabriel's hospital and St. Otto's
Orphanage. The land in question
was donated by Mr.. Morrill, to the
Franciscan Sisters, and in the deed
was included the reservation that if
the said land was used for any pur-
pose other than hospital. church or
educational, said land would revert
to the city of Little Falls. Mr.. Nor
rill stated that the Sisters had ex-
pended'a great amount OF money on
buildings and had done u great
amount OF good work, and were en-
titled to clear deed to the prop
erty. They have been to a consid-
cradle expense in putting up the Or

on the property, which could not be
obtained without a clear title.

"Why, yes, certainly" said the man
impatiently as he turned away with the
bundles under his arms.

FOR CHEAPER LIGHT
President Byllesby Going East to Pur-
chase a Plant.
WALTER POWER AT BONNER
The People Are Well Satisfied With
the New Arrangement-Th
Dam viii Be Built
Later.

Missoula, Nov 9.-President Bylles-
by of the General Electric company,
who has been in the city for several
days, has completed arrangements by
which Missoula will be furnished with
cheap light and power. and tomorrow
will leave for the East to purchase ma
chinery for the new electric plant,
which will be built at once. Mr.. Byl-
lesby was seen this afternoon by a
Standard reporter, and was asked for
particulars of the new arrangement.
He said: II will tell you what we have
done. and you can put it before your
readers as you like. Ever since we
purchased the plant which we are now
using. we have intended to build a
dam which would furnish abundance of
cheap power. We were all ready to go
ahead with this work several years
ago, when we discovered that the title
to the land was seriously clouded and
1t would have been unsafe to spend any
money when such a state OF AFFAIRS ex-
listed We made a scrip filing on the
land, but the department of the interior
has knocked us out on this proposition.
We intend, however, to fight the other
claimants to the last. and expect even
time something else must be done.
The present plant is not only an eye-
sore, but is unsatisfactory in many re-
spects. 1t is expensive to operate and
Is inadequate to the needs OF the town.
We have to-day completed arrange
ments with the Big Blackfoot Milling
company at Bonner to lease us the wa
ter power at the dam there, and we
will at once construct an entirely new
- hn
All the machinery will be of the latest
and most improved pattern, and will
be here as soon as possible. l viii
leave tomorrow to purchase Ii and will
return as soon as the purchase is made.
We shall at once put on large force
OF men, and will have the plant run
ming at the earliest possible moment.
This plant will be the one we shall use
when we have our own dam, which will
be as soon as the title to the land is
clear. There is, however, at Bonner,
sufficient power to supply the needs OF
the city for at least the time which will
elapse before we get the dam built. The
Big Blackfoot Milling company has
raised it's dam this summer in antici-
patton of this arrangement and we will
have at our disposal about 1000 horse
power. AS soon as we have this plant
completed we will go before the city
council with a proposition for new and
much cheaper lights. and will make
the price proportionate to the reduc-
tion in cost of production. l am GER
tain that this arrangement will salts
fy the people of this city. and l can as
sure them that our plans will be car
ried out as expeditiously as possible"
Mr.. Byellsby will return in a few
weeks with his wife, and will make
Missoula his home for some time. This
news will be welcome to the people of
Missoula, especially the assurance that
the new plant will mean a reduced
price of lights.

Doctors
niStakeS.
TREATING THE WRONG
DISEASE.
How large bills are run up without
benefit to the sufferer

Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine, one
from dyspepsia, another from nervous dis
ease, another from liver or kidney disease,
another with pain here and there, and in
this way they all present alike to them
selves and their easy-going, indifferent, or
over-busy doctors, separate and distinct dis
eases, for which they prescribe their pills
and potions, assuming them to be such,
when, in reality they are all only symptoms
caused by some womb disease The physi-
clan ignorant of the cause of suffering, en-
courages his practice until large bills are
made. The suffering patient gets no better,
but probably worse, by reason of the delay,
wrong treatment and consequent complica-
tions. A proper medicine, like DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription, directed TO He cause
would have entirely removed the disease,
thereby dispelling all those distressing
symptoms, and instituting comfort instead
of prolonged misery 1t has been well said,
that "a disease known is half cured"
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a
scientific medicine, carefully compounded
by an experienced and skillful physician,
and adapted to woman's delicate organiza-
ton. II enres all arrangements, irregu-
larities and weaknesses of the womanly

1t Is Defying a Railroad Company to Fiji

Ernr,n the Fail RiNar Mama

1t is Defying a Railroad Company to FIJI
IL Up TO Repletion.
From the Fall River News.
At Towantic. a village on top of the
mountain 10 miles west of Waterbury,
the New York and New England Rail-
road company is endeavoring to fill in
what is apparently a bottomless pit
This pit is exactly on the top of the
mountain. at an elevation of fully 1000
feet. When the route for the railroad
was surveyed II was run directly
across this swamp. the nature of the
marsh, of course. not being known.
II is only about 200 feet from one edge
to the other. but what 1t lacks in
width n makes up in depth, and II
has proven to be practically without
a bottom.
When this point was reached in con-
structing the roadbed. 1t was decided
to build a trestle across the swamp as
the quickest and most practical way
of getting over. The first piles that
were dropped endwise in the mud pre-
paratory 10 driving them down to a
solid foundation sank nearly out Of
sight OF their own weight. Other piles
were placed on top of the first ones
and easily forced down to a depth of
nearly so feet Upon these piles the
bridge, which is about 200 feet long,
was built. and 1t has been a thorn in
the side of the company ever since.
Eternal vigilance has been the price
of keeping the railroad from sinking
out of sight. and 1t was finally deter
mined to fill in the hole. But this is
proving to be formidable feat.
Before the work of putting in gravel
was begun a new track resembling
horse shoe was constructed around the
edge of the swamp. to be used while
the old bridge was being filled in. This
was done from a fear that the gravel
would settle and force. the structure
out of place and the precaution was
well taken. Work was begun early in
the summer by putting in hundreds OF
old ties to serve as a foundation for
the ground. Already 1000 car loads OF
gravel have been dumped into the
swamp from the bridge. and II settles
out of sight nearly as fast as II can
be put in. 5r
Engines are not permitted to cross
the bridge any longer. A train load OF
gravel is pushed out TO the bridge. the
wire cable OF a big iron pillow is at
tached to the engine. and the plow
drawn over the cars. forcing the grav-
ell off on either side. This material Is
loaded upon the cars by a big steam
shovel in a nearby gravel bank. and
the lading and unloading Is but the
work OF a few minutes. But the por-
Gus and false bed Of the Lit has an
enormous appetite for the material
that is dropped into II. and 1t will be
some time before the yielding soil Is
made firm enough TO hold the heavy
trains that must pass over IL.
