Marcus DAILY has a very decided
way of treating the men who strike
at his Anaconda works. One day
last week 80 men employed at the
concentration walked out owing to
some grievance concerning the dis
charge of their fellow-workmen. I'M
mediately Il notice was posted at the
works to the effect that 1.-The men
who went ON Il strike at IL IL. IN. to-
day are hereby dismissed from the
service of the company. They can
not again enter the services of the
company in amy department. En-
ployes who refuse to report for duty
on night shift will be dismissed from
the service" This was Days Christ

and is characteristic of Democratic
friendship for the laboring man.

The fourth assistant postmaster
general has secured n promise from
the transcontinental railroads to in
augurate a faster mail service with
the beginning of the new year. Time
between New York and Chicago Will
be cut down three hours, between
Chicago and st. Paul two hours and
a double train service inaugurated
on the Great Northern and Northern
Pacific, the fast mail trains to leave
st. Paul in the morning within an
hour after the arrival of the Chicago
mails. Better time will be made and
people in Great Falls will receive their
eastern mail at $3.50 p. m, some
twelve hours earlier than at present.
This change will hardly result in any
benefit to Lewistown people, how
ever, as the mails will simply remain
in Great Falls a longer period of
time.

The battleships Oregon and Iowa
have reached Valparaiso, Chill, on
their way from New York to join
Dewey at Manila. Valparaiso is about
one-third of the distance north of
Magellan straits on the western
South American coast. Upon reach
ing Calloa, Peru, some distance north,
the ships will take a westerly course
toward Honolulu, where a dispatch
boat will meet them with instruc-
tions for their further journey. While
the interest in the present voyage of
the Oregon does not compare
with that OF last spring, which has

The annual ruinor of the extension
of the Burlington system west from
Billings, is again in circulation. This
time it is coupled with "a report that
the Rock Island road will also ex-
tend it's western terminus from Dem
yer to- the coast. 1t is said that the
officers believe the absorption OF the
Hawaiian and Philippine islands by
this country willcause agreat increase
in Pacific business and desire to be in
a position to compete for the traffic.
The Burlington is said to have had
surveying parties in both Lolo and
Nez Perez passes and that the extern
sion of it's line will shortly be an
nounced. This is of special interest
to Fergus county people for if the
Burlington extends it is believed that
the road will be brought much nearer
to this county than at present and
not unlikely within the county along
the Musselshell river.

The fact that he has never shown

me word through friend that if I
would not pay him what Joe Ewalt
owed him he wonld oppose my cleo
