GRAND REPUBLICAN VICTORIES.

The Republicans appear to have
made wonderful gains throughout
this state, judging from the mu'ici-
pal elections held Monday.
In Great Falls the Republicans
elected their mayor, treasurer, police
magistrate and a majority OF alder
men.
In Helena the Republicans made a
net gain OF one alderman; no other
city officers were chosen.
In Missoula and Bozcman the Re
publicans made Il clean sweep.
In Butte, the cradle Of Organism,
the Democratic candidate for mayor
only received 200 plurality and the
Republicans elected the treasurer,
magistrate and a majority OF the
alderman.
In Anaconda the Democratic can
didate for magistrate was beaten by
an Independent, supported by Re
puhlicans.
Only in Livingston were the Demo-
Gratis successful.

Lewistown Cemetery Association.

The Lewistown Cemetery Associa-
ton was formed last week by f. +.
Smith, Sam'l Phillips, David Hilger,
Geo. w. Cook, and George j. Bach.
Mr.. Smith was chosen president, Mr..
Cook secretary, and Mr.. Bach
treasurer. For two years or more,
frequent attempts have been made
by interested citizens to have the
county purchase the ground ut
present used for cemetery purposes,
improve 1t and sell lots in same, but
the amount OF legal proceedings
which seemed necessary before the
county commissioners could do this,
has operated to postpone action
until il became essential that private
parties take hold of the matter in
order to secure the land from the
state. Such were the reasons which
led to the formation of the Lewis
town Cemetery Association. The
association has purchased from the
state forty acres OF land, included
within which are the present grounds,
and will Immediately fence the same
securely. Upon the level land lying
east of the present enclosure about
ten acres will be plated and the lots
sold at nominal figures, the associa-
ton not being intended as a money
making scheme. Thepresent grounds
are SO completely used, and the
graves made at such random, that ii
is deemed best to make no attempt
at granting titles to that portion.
The association hopes to secure title
to the land upon which the spring
rises near the old slaughter house
and pipe water thence to the ceme-
terry, SO that the growth of verdure
may be attempted with assurance OF
success.

Mr.. Watterson has been n member OF

that it is the party OF negation and
that il would advocate "any old

befog the minds OF the people and
hoodwink them into voting for 1t.
Again the brilliant Watterson says:
sit will be so unless the Democratic
masses take matters into their own
hands and call down the short

such discordant music. 1t will be 50

Speaking Of the three Democratic
traitors in the Delaware legislature.
the Helena Herald say :: "A few Dem
ocratic members Of the Legislature in
Delaware voted for a Republican far
United States senator. When they
went home they were met by n mob
with jeers and revilings, bricks and
dead eats. They were compelled TO
leave their homes ahd sneak away To
avoid violence. That il the way
Democrats treat their delinquent rep
resentatives for doing what they
term n patriotic service when done
by a Republican for Democracy's
benefit" To which the Anaconda
Standard adds: What Democrats
ever praised II Republican for voting
for "a Observation-Disclosures United
States senator? Even w. A. Clark in
his heart despises the Republicans he
bought like cattle. Treachery il
t~reachery the world over, and there
are few crimes in the category so
universally and justly condemned.
Not one of the Republican members
OF the Legislature who voted for w.
A. Clark may hope aver tooutlivc the
fearful shame and disgrace with
which, like so much tar and feathers,
ne stands covered"

A Change in Route at Benton.

The River Press last week contained
a long interview with Hon. r. c.
Power, relative to the proposed
changes in the line OF the Montana
Central near Benton. Mr.. Power be-
ing On intimate terms with Great
Northern officials. 1t appears that
the railroad company has finally de.
termine1 to 80 change their route
between Benton and Great Falls, as
to run through the former point in
stead of at a distance of two miles
as at present, but in accomplishing
this they will be compelled to cross
the river twice. In conclusion, Mr..
Power il quoted rs saying: "The
Great Northern officials are well
pleased with the amount of business
transacted ut this point and hope to
increase it by providing all the neces-
sary facilities and giving satisfaction
To all concerned. A good proportion
OF Fergus county freight comes by
this route, and il the proper en-
couragrment is given by the Great
Northern it will probably secure
other Fergus county business that
now reaches its destination by way
ofthc Northern Pacific and Billings"

BICYCLE TRACK

a bicycle track on a house top may
seem curious innovation in London,
where, as rule, the only people who
seem to get sport out of the roofs are
policemen and burglars. There is, how
aVer, a rumor that on the roof of the
magnificent new hotel, Grand Central,
the Marylebone road, the architect
has laid out bicycle track for the use
IF visitors. The Tea, though sugges-
tive of vertigo, is really clever. OF
course the track will be rallied in with
something made than a parapet, and
his is actually the first adaptation of
he American roof garden in that coun-
try.

LIMIT OF SPEED.
Combination of Staunchness and Cele-
rity Very Difficult.

The 420 ton destrOyers lately ordered
by the United States Government, says
he Engineering News, are an improve
.nent on the usual type, but we must 20
I good , cal further in the same direc-
lion to obtain Il vessel meeting all the
conditions that such vessels must meet
sea service.
Recent requirement of territory by
he United States makes it necessary
hat such vessels for its navy shall
naVe a much greater radius of action
and shall be treated differently. In fact
f speed of 30 knots or more is aimed
ut, sufficiently stanch sea going yes
sci cannot be produced in the present
state of the art. To obtain 80 knots
within the boats now credited with that
speed, supreme effort under expert
management is required, which is sell
dom repeate' in the life of the boat.
If the 30 knot torpedo boat destroyer's
machinery were more substantial, so
hat full power could be exerted at any
time without risk. and if the hull were su-
hciently strong to stand a moderate sea
without danger, its speed would be
about q knots. Yet such a boat if or
dered to reach a point at sea, say, 100
niles distant, would, under ordinary
'on itiOns reach that point in less time
han would be required by the regula-
ton 30 knot boat which is said to get q
horsepower with less than so pounds of
machinery.
