THE WORK is POSTPONED
The Tramway Will Not Be Built
Until Spring.
SAD NEWS FOR NEIHART
Half the Broadwater Force Laid Off-The
History Of the Camp Repeating
Itself-It Has Had It's Ups
and Downs.

Great Falls. Dec. 25.-"The building
of the tramway has been postponed for
two or three MONTHS said George Il.
Gum on his visit to Neihart Friday.
This discouraging news had been some
what anticipated by rumors to that eff
feet, but it was not definitely known.
Last Tuesday Mr.. Henley had orders
to start grading for the tram; the next
day the order was countermanded. and
Gum brought word that the work had
been postponed.
The postponement of building the
tramway is not the worst of it. for Mr.
Gum gave orders, as manager of the
property, to lay off half the men then
at work, which order was put into eff
feet Sunday. This leaves about % men
at work. who will all be on day shift.
the night shift being abandoned This
is sad and depressing news for Neihart
especially right in the middle of winter
and when the prospects of the camp
seemed on the up grade. However. it
is only the history of the camp, since
the big slump, repeating itself. One
week it is approaching the top wave of
prosperity, the next it is in the slough
of dependency. Probably no camp in
the country has suffered the ups and
downs that Neihart has. Yet its peo-
pie refuse to be entirely cast down and
always hope and look forward to bet
ter things. When silver goes up mo-
mentarily their faces relax into a smile.
and when it drops several notches, as
it did last week, they tighten their lips
to repress uttering imprecations upon
those in the East who are responsible
for it's instability.
If only those who are to blame could
be made to suffer for their misdeeds it
would not be so bad, but they get off
scot free and the Western people, who
tried their utmost to show them the
right course to pursue. get the worst
of it every time. While the diminish
ing of the force at the Broadwater is
only what might have been expected
under the ordinary circumstances, it
comes with much greater force when
people have been expecting things to
go the other way. the tramway to be
built and at least 100 men employed

A Fire at Hayre.

Great Falls. Dec. 25.-Wednesday
night about II 80 fire broke out in the
parlor of the Windsor hotel at Havre.
1T was discovered by Dispatcher Flynn
of the Great Northern as he was retir-
ing after being relieved from duty. He
WAS assisted by J. w. Williams and
others who appeared promptly on the
scene attired in the costume of the
midnight hour. and the flames were
soon brought under control. The fire
is supposed to have been caused by
the explosion of the parlor lamp. The
loss was slight, fully insured.

CHRISTMAS AT THE FALLS.
1t Was the Most Quiet Ever Known in
the CITY,

Great Falls. Dec. 25.-This has been
one of the quietest Christmas days the
city has ever known. Most of the
churches had their special services and
exercises last night and to-day the
streets have been deserted. At the sa-
looms the usual Christmas drinks are
being served. but as yet but one drunk
has been reported at the police sta
tion. The weather has been perfect
since morning and those who possess
carriages or have a peculiar fondness
for driving have been out on the roads.
There has been some skating on the
river but on the whole the day has
been most like Sunday. Probably the
most welcome Christmas present was
received by J. NJ. Freeman whose wife
presented him with an heir this morn
ing.

Besides this many thousands OF
pounds worth of provisions were Sent
by private subscription. vessels were
chartered and loaded with provisions
by generous Americans and sent to the
famine-stricken land and 100000 was
sent by Irishmen in the United States
to their suffering kith and kin at home.
Again history seems about to repeat
itself Potato rot, due to the contin-
ued wet weather, has largely destroyed
the crop which constitutes the prin-
cjpal food supply of the Irish peas
antry. Again English statesmen treat
the rumors of impending famine. as
exaggerations circulated principally for
political effect, and again if famine
comes must the people of the United
States be depended upon to supply the
lions share of whatever relief may be
necessary. The spirit of modern civili
cation demands that there should
never again be such famine in the
world as ravaged Ireland in 1S47. Re-
lief measures should be adequate and
prompt to prevent it and in such reiiel
measures all civilized nations should
join with generous emulation.

what Mas Canada to Offer?

Premier Lauriers endeavor to have
all differences between Canada and the
United States settled at the same time
and along with the sealing question
may we'll excite the suspicion that
the Canadians and England are dis
posed to make the best of situation
not favorable to them. Canada's po-
sition on the sealing matter is mani
testify selfish in the extreme and has
no redeeming features She is aware
that pelagic sealing is sure to COM
pletely ruin the sealing industry. but
she owns no islands that are haunts
of the seal and can only take them in
the open sea. Some of her people are
quite extensively interested in pelagic
sealing and act upon the idea that un-
der existing conditions they can get
the lions share of the seals while they
last and after that-"the deluge." 1t
is rumored she wants an indemnity.
This might be reasonable were there to
be no more pelagic sealing, but this is
not determined upon. Indeed there
now seems no probability that the
prohibition of it is intended to be more
than for a few years duration. in
which event the restrictions would be
as much for Canadas advantage as
for anyone's. Now the effort of rep
resentatives of the Canadian govern
ment to open up all questions of mu-
tual interest to both countries indi-
Gates that Canada might be willing to
accept certain concessions in lieu of
indemnity. 1t is well known the pres
ent Liberal administration was greatly
disappointed that it's one sided offers,
termed reciprocity, did not meet
with approval at Washington. She
had practically nothing to offer in ex
change for advantages she sought.
Possibly Laurer now thinks that
Canada's sealing interests could be ex-
changed profitably. Surely if much
should be obtained in exchange Cana
da would be the gamer for her sealing
privileges are worth little with no
seals and that predicament cannot be
far off under a continuance Of existing
conditions. Anyhow it will be interest
ing to know just what Canada has to
offer.

The Danger Of Famine in Ireland.

The failure of the potato crop in Ire
with famine, and already is OCCASION
ing much distress in the country dis
trcts. Fear is expressed that the
frightful scenes of 1S47 may be re-
peated within few months. The lor-
rors of that great famine are without
a parallel in history. In 1916 the popu-
lation of Ireland was little
over 5000, 900 souls. When the ravages
of the famine had ceased the popula
ton was a little over 100000. Half
of this awful deficit died of starvation
or from causes arising from want of
food, the other half had fled. In one
year and three months about 100000
able-bodied persons had emigrated
from Ireland, and thousands of these
had persisted miserably on the voyage
to other lands. a--
The attitude of England during this
famine was at first one of GOODNESS and
Indifference. Her statesmen affected
to believe. when Daniel O'Connell fore
seeing the impending calamity pleaded
with matchless eloquence in the Brit
ish parliament for measures of relief
for the Irish peasantry, and was treat
ed with scant courtesy and less consid-
Grafton, that the rumOrs of FAM
inc were exaggerated for politi-
cal purposes. Not until the Irish peo-
pie We're dying by thousands were any
practical measures of relief under
taken-and these were miserably in
adequate. 1t is true that the British
people were called upon for aid, and
the Queen started subscription with
$1,000. The Sultan OF Turkey gave a
great deal more. But for the generous
and timely aid of American citizens

average American. We have seen III
this State what the thrift and expert
ence of the Swede could accomplish In
developing farms in the Maine Wilder
ness. Recently there has been evil
denced a disposition on the part of
Jews to take up abandoned farms and
work them to advantage. The French
Americans have not infrequently
turned their attention to agriculture at
not great distance from the manufac-
turing centers where they first were
attracted. The town of Webster is
said TO have a little community of Jew
ish farmers doing we'll. In other towns
in Androscoggin county it is reported
that the Hebrew packpeddler from the
proceeds of his hard earnings has in
vested in cheap farm property and has
developed skill in farming that would
have astonished Father Abraham.
An impression has gained good
dea! of ground that whatever adapta-
ton to the soil the original Hebrew
may have had his descendants did not
take kindly to it. One of the reasons
advanced for treating the Jews so
harshly i'm Russia was that he did not
care to settle down to the pursuits of.
tiler of the soil but rather preferred
to farm those who We're, and that in
this way he had succeeded in owning
not only the land of the peasants but
the peasants themselves. Another
quite common impression is that the
Hebrew colonies established in this
country were proving a failure. This
is disproved by results, however. Last
week in Philadelphia there was fine
exhibit of farm and dairy products of
Russian Jew settlements in New Jer-
sey and Connecticut. These afforded
every indication CT prosperity and it
was stated there that success was al
ready browning these undertakings
with generous measure.
The actual condition of the colonies.

VOICES OF THE PRESS.
Artillerists Needed for Oeiences.
On. Y. Tribune,l

w. L. liIoui!tl
The earnest utterances of the chamber
OF commerce. last week, in favor of "a
sufficient increase of the artillery branch
of the army to man the new coast de-
fences commend themselves strongly to
the c0mmon-senSe of the nation. Il is
idle to build forts if they can have no
garrisonS. ard to mount guns if there are
no Sunners TO use them. Military men
nave of late discussed this subject in
their mess circles and in the clubs, and
also in papers read in their assemblies
entirely apart from any immediate fear
of war. The fact that there has been
adopted Il system of reconstruction of
the coast defences of the country upon
modern lines is well known. The system
includes. as Lieutenant Carbaugh has
summed up, over 500 high-power guns.
1000 12-inch mortars and $50 rapid-fire
guns. to be grouped at over 10 points in
about twenty-five harbors." BY June
lS9S. one-half of these guns and mortars
are expected to be in their empacements.
Added to these are to be 5000 submarine
mines. supposed to be effective in pre-
venting an attacking fleet from running
past the forts. But the question is
whether there are enough competent men
to man the guns.
General George w. Wingate. for many
years connected with the national guard
Of New York state. and one of the organ
zerS and for many years a director of
the National Rifle Association has writ
ten an article for the November number
of THE Journal of the Military Service
institution of the United States" in
which he treats the question in all its
various phases and suggests a remedy by
,ongre ssional legislation. He agrees with
others who have discussed the question
hat at least one-half of the present en-
listed force of the United States artillery
are not capable of becoming efficient gun
ners. even should they have the advan-
taSeS of instruction in the artillery
school at Fortress Monroe He AYERS
that foreign nations are perfectly aware
OF the defenceless condition of this coun-
try and in case of war; they would at
once attack the cities of the seaboard.
and there would be no time then to select
the forts and aim the heavy guns. But
he adds IF We possessed reasonable
force of trained artillerists in our forts.
the country could rest behind them in
comparative safety while it was raising
and organizing its volunteers and
strengthening it's artillery General
Wingate then proceeds to prove by Off
cfal reports that when the new system of
notifications is completed $4,000 artiller-
lists will be required to provide one re-
lief for the service of the guns they will
contain; while three reliefs are required
