Well, yes, the ladle we stuck
into the political pot last week
stirred things up considerably.
AS we intimated the opposition to
Julian Burd's leadership in the
democratic party are finding out
that they are ''very small potatoes
and few in a hill Mr.. Burd is
showing them few tricks with
holes in them, and If he cant beat
them any other way will consent
to their nomination for county
commissioner or clerk of the court,
and then make them either pull of
the ticket or defeat them at the
polls. l. Pretty shrewd worker, that
man Burd.

We believe that if proper repre>
sentation is made, the board Of
county commissioners will order
the bridge to be built across the
Marias river put in at the mouth
of Shultz's coulee. This would be
OF great advantage to Dupuyer
and surrounding country as it will
give us direct communication with
the Great Northern and Great
Falls & Canada railroads at Shelby.
This will enable us to have NAL
route established and will also
save our merchants and Others
considerable money in freigh
charges. At the same time th'
people living along the Maria'
iver will be just as we'll accommo
dated with bridge at this poin
as they would at any other plac
on the river.

Dupuyer will probably go before
the next republican county con-
vention with a candidate for state
senator and county treasurer.
We are not at liberty at this time
to mention any names, but will
assure our readers that both gen.
tlemen are in every way qualified
for the positions to which they
aspire, are stalw republicans,
and in the northern precincts of
the county will poll more than
the average republican vote. We
think we are stating only the truth
when we say that these two men
can bring together all republican
factions in this neighborhood.

c. E. Tfescott. Publisher.

One Dudley Axtell is editor and
publisher OF the Milk River Eagle,
printed at Havre, over in Choteau
county. In the last issue of that
sheet Dudley says, among other
things, that the people of this
country should "reiegate to the
dark and gloomy period OF fond
forgetfuiness the cur-like cowardice
of this un- American administra-
tion, "Cur-like cowardice, I"
indeed /! What is this poor Dudley
that he should make use of such an
expression ? A Spaniard or an
idiot? Surely he must be one or
the other. If we are not badly
mistaken in the denlftion of the
words it is not cur-like cowardice
for a powerful nation ike this, to,
for the present, overlook her own
wrongs and give battle in behalf of
a weaker republic as we are now in
behalf of the unfortunate Cubans.
To our mind Dudiey's Spanist
sympathies have got the best O.
him and the sooner be takes {
sneak into their lines the better.

Will Occupy Hawaii.

Chicago May ia special to
the Journal from Washington says:
1t is probable that American troops
will soon be occupying Hawaii.
President Mckinley agrees with
all callers that the temporary .oc-
cupation of the Philippites is out
of the question. Whether we de-
sire it or not, we will be compelled
to retain the islands fora long
time, if. not permanently. More
troops than now decided on will
have to be sent to Manila in the
course of several months.
The contingency has appealed to
the administration with such force
that the advisability of making
Hawaii base tor both army ard
naval operations has been dis
cussed. 1t is not known at what
time the. American commander in
the Philippines might need ad-
ditional men. The distance be
tween San Francisco and Manila
might endanger American prestige
and many lives.
To Offset this possibility it i;
proposed to send probably 10000
volunteers to Hawaii, there to bt
held in reserve. They could b.
trained there, and from that poin
could.be sent-to Manila 20 day
earlier than they could if kept il
the United States until the cal
came. The climatea of Hawaii il
excellent. No finer point could b
selected for organizing, drilling
and equipping raw recruits AN

Canadians With Us.

Great Falls, May 17.-Jack
Harris of Fort Benton is in the
city this evening, having just re,
turned from an extended trip
through Manitoba aud the North
west Territory. He says that the
people of the country, as he met
them, universally sympathize with
the United States with their
present war with Spain and fer
vently pray for their success. He
also says that the opinion expressed
by the editor of the Lethbridge
News criticising the attitude of
the United States, is everywhere
deprecated on the northern side OF
the boundary line, and that he has
frequently heard expressions OF
regret that such thing should
have been printed, as it tended to
create, among citizens of the
states, a false impression of the
feeling which the Canadians en-
tertain toward them.

SHIRT FACTORY DESTROYED.
Many OVSralIS and Valuable Machines
Ruined By Fire.
SIXTY GIRLS THROWN OUT OF WORK
A Stubborn Blaze on West Main street
Does Much Damage TO the Richmond
Shirt Manufacturing Company.
The Loss About -, 900.

The fire that broke out about o'clock
last night on west Main street. proved
to be stubborn blaze. and resulted In
several thousand dollars damage. Be-
fore the flames could be extinguished
the establishment of the Richmond Shirt
Manufacturing Company was almost de-
stroyed.
The alarm was turned in IL 7:o6 o'clock
from station No. "a. at the corner OF
Main and Harvey streets. The fire gained
considerable headway before the alarm
was sent in, and when steamers Nos.
and and Truck No. arrived on the
scene, the building No. 1901 west Main
street, was in light blaze. This build
ing Is one of two occupied by the shirt
factory. and was a one-story frame struc-
ture OF considerable proportions. 1t had
been formerly used as a house OF worship
for a negro church. IL was several
months ago ftted up for the factory.
which was owned by a stock company, OF
which Mr. n. f. jacobs is president aud
Mr.. Daniel Brown, general manager.
BUILDING RUINED.
The building, together with the ad-
joining structure. which was used as a
stock room by the company, was owned
by Mr.. ]. W. Bliey. The latter building
was very slightly damaged. but the one
in which the fire originated was practi-
cally ruined The loss to this building
was about $500. which was largely COW
cred by insurance.
The fire had its origin IN a defective
nue In building No. 1901. The blaze
started I'm the roof which was covered
with shingles. and burned very rapidly
In the building was large quantity or
overalls. numbering about seven hundred
dozen. These were nearly all burned or
ruined by water and smoke. The dam
age sustained by this portion OF the stock
was about 5000
SEWING MACHINES DAMAGED.
I'm the building were about seventy-fve
sewing machines. These were Of va
rOus kinds. and some OF them were
made specially for this kind OF work.
and cost as much as 500 apiece. The
machines were either ruined or badly
damaged. The loss from this source
amounted 10 about 5000.
The loss on the stock and property OF
the company Is partially covered by in
surance. presumably 10 the amount OF
about 81 000 though definite Information
could not be secured on this point for
the reasons that the president OF the
company who locted after the insurance.
was out of the city and the general man
ager who Is just out from an attack or
sickness OF about three weeks, could not
say what the insurance amounted To.
During the fire a large number OF over
alls were carried out from the adjoining
building for fear they would be destroy
ed.
GIRLS THROWN OUT OF WORK.
The fire is particularly unfortunate at
this time. as about sixty girls who were
employed In the factory Will be thrown
out of employment for some time.
II Is understood the company will re-
sumo work as soon as practicable. though
it will necessarily take some time to get
matters in shape again.
