MONTANA CANDIDATES.
Long Deadlock likely in the Con.
test for the Senatorship.

Helena, Mont, Jan. 3-The legislature
organized yesterday by choosing T. P.
Cullen president pro TEN. of the senate
and H. C. Stiff speaker of the house.
Balloting for United States Senator will
not take place for ten days. The candi-
dates are w A. Clarke, a Butte banker;
former State Senator Mats, of Anaconda
and w. G. Conrad, of Cascade County.
Indications point to deadlock for some
time, as it is believed no candidate will
have a majority. Clarkes friends are
sanguine of ultimate success. He was
the regular nominee six years ago. but
Daly's control of minority of his party
prevented any choice.

and used in making soups. The beef is not cooked
for the extract.
In regard to the cooking Of roast beef, we con-
slider it cooked as much as corned beef to MAKE
it tender, the same as the corned beef. but it Is
done under higher degree of heat, and conse'
quertly does not tnse as long to cook it.
Answering your question in regard to foreign
ingredients and scraps being used in putting up
this meat. will say we use nothing but good,
wholesome. sound. government inspected beef
