LAKES OF MUDDY WATER
Chinook Taxed the Drainage
System of the City.
MORE SEWERS ARE NEEDED
Health of the Citizsns Demands an Up
to-Date System The Business Por-
ton OF the City the Only Dis
trict Now Provided For.

Great Falls, Feb. 21,-The chinook
wind which has blown merrily for the
past week has carried off the larger
part of the snow and the tops of the
buttes surrounding the city and the line
of the river are mostly bare. In the city
itself the melting of the snow has been
SO rapid and the body Of snow to melt
was so great that many of the streets
and avenues have been converted into
rivers and many empty lots are mere
lakes of muddy water. The primitive
drainage system of the city was utterly
inadequate to carry off the water and
it will be several days before the city
is anything like dry. On the west side
the surface drainage sewer put in a
| little over year ago did good work
| and relieved the situation very mater
tally, but a large body of water is still
| standing there and unless dried up by
| the wind or absorbed by the ground
may prove threatening to health later
| on.
The south side, which is a natural
| drainage basin for much of the water
flowing in a SouthweStery direction
from distance as far away as the
Royal Mill was naturally under water
Fourth avenue south was one canal for
| five or six blocks, the water running
three inches deep in spite of the Gull
verts on either end, which were also
full of water. A member of the police
force tells a little story on himself in
this connection. He lives on the south
side and when on his way home after
shift he had walked some five blocks in
his endeavor to cross the stream with
out getting soaked through He finally
reached the crossing On Third street
south and here again he found the eros
sing under water. However, he could
not wait around all night for the water
to subside and SO he hired colored
man who happened to be standing near
to carry him across the water. 1t was
only the following morning that he dis
covered that by crossing the street he
could have found sidewalk which was
above and beyond the food. Had it
been light at the time he would have
doubtless seen It, but now he mourns
the needless expenditure of a quarter
and a somewhat ludicrous position.
With the advance in the condition of
city funds there will be great need of
additional sewers and no doubt they
will be built as soon as the funds per-
nit of it. To-day there are but three
sewers in the city and these do not
amount to great deal. They cover the
house drainage in the business portion
of the city fairly well, but there is room
for improvement in that Line, while the
surface drainage is a mere farce. The
north side, which Is higher than the rest
| of the city, sheds its surface water,
| which runs down to Third and Fourth
avenues south, and must either find it's
| way trickling into the Third street
| sewer or lie in the hollows and in the
| avenues until it is evaporated. This is
| condition which does not work to the
| general good health of the citizens and
in time must be remedied.

Another Strike Reported,

Great Falls, Feb. 21.-Anoiher strike
is reported from the Queen of the Hills
mine at Neihart This time ii is in the
tunnel run under the creek from the 800
level. 1t is on the opposite side of the
creek from where most of the mines are
and is directly under the spot where
the good ore was found on the surface
last year by William Bonner, when the
ground was being worked by him, I'M
der lease. An upraise will probably he
made, and ut is more than possible that
the ore chute continues to the surface.
Where it was found, there is from 10
to IL inches of 80 ounce ore. It is prob
able that more work will be done there
w. q. Conrad and Thomas Curry left
for Neihart yesterday morning to in
spect the mine, and the possibilities are
that further consideration will be given
the matter of locating and working a
concentration at Neihart.

SHOULD RAISE POTATOES
Montana Has Every Facility for
<. Immense Production.
MOST OF THEM IMPORTED
Merchants Have to Depend on Idaho and
: Utah to Supply the Great Demand
e in the State - No Good
+ Reason for 1t.

-s@; Montana, with it's millions of acres,
has not since the days of the bull team
raised enough potatoes to supply the
home demand. Montana lis big enough
ITO supply the world with potatoes, good
S.sweet, mealy, nutritious, firm, large
and small potatoes.
vi In recent years, or ever since the rail-
roads entered the state, outsiders have
made big money by shipping potatoes
Into Montana. The farmers here who
used to receive four and five cents-at
Hines 20-per pound for their crops, APP
pear to be discouraged now over the
comparatively small price paid for the
article, and consequently potato crops
In Montana are small, when they should
be large. The farmers Of the state must
certainly feel that they have neglected
opportunities when they read the fol-
lowing item of news contained in the
Spokane stock market report:
~ The local commission houses are
having some inquiries from Montana
and other states east for potatoes.
These places seem TO be experiencing
the same scarcity of potatoes which
was felt in Spokane a few weeks ago.
1t is the custom of Montana mer-
chants in the fall 20 import enormous
consignments of potatoes. Sometimes
the demand exceeds the supply late in
winter, or early in the spring, and the
consequence is raise in the prices or
perhaps a scarcity which borders on q
potato famine.
r i fail to understand the indifference
of the farmers in Montana regarding
>'Sheir potato crops said Butte COM
mission merchant. Here we are to-
: day eating potatoes that were shipped
FOL
other states. Why, so Indifferent are
some of these ranchers that they actu-
ally buy potatoes out of the store houses
in the cities. The dairyman might as
well buy his milk from the vendors in
the city and the haymakers their hay
from dealers of the imported baled ar
tfcle OF course that is their business.
What l am getting at is the neglect of
SO many farmers to take the money
which, under existing conditions, is
paid to farmers of outside states. If
Montana soil was not adapted 20 the
cultivation of potatoes, it would be a
different case. But this states sell is
unexcelled for the growing of the best
potatoes on earth. %y:ttb s.ssss..r
instead of Montana importing pota-
toes 1t should export millions of pounds.
This is a potato state just as much
as 1t is a copper state. The difference
lis the miner develops the mineral re-
sources ana tne farmer, as a rule, de-
Velops the potato resources only to the
extent of supplying the demands of his
own family. AS I say, the farmer, no
doubt, knows his business, but l can't
see things as he evidently thinks he
does.'
1t may be mentioned in this connec-
tton, however, that many farmers in
the state do raise and sell potatoes
and make money by the operation, yet
the demand in Montana calls for pota-
toes grown in other states

A Society Note,

Great Falls, Feb. 21.-The Havre
Eagle this week contains the following
society item of that cosmopolitan rail-
way center:
The halmy chinook of last Monday
brought into town two ancient. ugly
looking Cree squaws. who Immediately
proceeded to Investigate the frozen
and much neglected slop barrels that
stand to the rear of our hotels and
restaurants. They were gaudily
dressed; low necked and short sleeve
dresses-four yards of striped bed
ticking served to complete their
wardrobe. One long, lean, banana
colored buck escorted them through
the principal thoroughfares of the
city whilst they sought aims in the
shape of tobacco, matches. etc, from
their "tillicums." The buck wore
a cut-away coat. a u. S. I. D. blanket
a SLOUGH hat, minus the crown. and a
pair of flour sack leggings branded

say that she was in the custom of hav-
ing considerable sums in the house
from time to time.
Last spring the same Mrs. Henry mad
her son and another young man ar
rested charged with gaEd larceny. She
swore that they had taken cattle be-
longing to her, sold them to local
butcher and poeketed the proceeds.
The defense showed very conclusiyely
that they had sold the cattle at her
orders, and more than that, turned
back to her all of the money received
from the sale. They were discharged
of course. 1t is believed that the old
lady is feeble-minded and childish and
it is possible that the present case may
develop that point more strongly.
Amos Reno, alias Joe Black, was ar
raigned in the district court this after
noon on the charge of attempted crimi-
nal assault upon the person of Jenny
Olander. young Finnish girl on the
evening of Jan. 90 at Neihart. He
pleaded not guilty and will be tried at
the March term of the district court.
Minnie Evans, known in certain So
cial circles as the Mud Hen, was ar
rested this morning for drunkenness
and sentenced to a month in the city
Jail. She has been arrested many times
already and has served terms in the
county Jail usually.

HELD BACK BY FLOODS.
Some Very Narrow Escapes Have Been
Reported.

Reported.
Great Falls, Feb 21.-The Nehart
train is laid out at Belt until further
orders. The flood in Box Elder coulee
is the cause, that depression crossing
the railway track near Swift. The
bridge is shaky and considered unsafe.
There is a cold snap on at the present
time and it is likely that the ground
will be frozen solid enough to permit
of the repair to the track and the con-
tinuance of the train service by to-mor-
row evening. No bad accidents have
yet heen reported as caused by the
floods, although there have been some
narrow escapes.
The close call of two men is reported
from Sand Coulee, where the water
was high, overrunning the banks of the
creek, which takes its course through
the very center of the town, covering
the roadway and part of Gus Ernst's
ranch.
On Sunday John Bitzel and his part
ner hired a horse and buggy from the
B. c. Jones livery stable at Sand Cou-
lee and drove to Belt. All went well
on the trip there, but on their return
where the bridge had been washed out,
and lost both horse and buggy.
The men themselves came near losing
their lives, and We're only saved through
the assistance of Mrs. Bayne, who lives
near there and heard their cries for
help. She ran to their assistance, and
by means of a pitchfork, which she
reached out to them, pulled them to the
shore.
No trace of the horse and buggy
could be found, and it is possible the
remains will be picked up in the near
future somewhere down the Missouri
river
The water at Belt was high, but
caused no distress and did no damage.
Tonight it is reported as falling rap

ASKING FOR BIDS.
An Example of the Tiresome Government
Red Tape.

Great Falls, Feb. 21.--The United
States government is now asking for
bids on CAB tons of hay, 96 tons of oats
and about eight tons of BRAN the
amount of forage now on hand and
stored at Fort Assinniboine This
at first sight would look as if it was the
intention of the war department. to
abandon this excellent cavalry post
Those in a position to be thoroughly in
formed. however, state that it is not
but merely another indication of de-
partmental red tape which in other
places has caused so much distress and
suffering among the soldiers. 1t appears
that over year ago, when it became
apparent that no large force of men
would be stationed at Assinniboine, the
commander of the post applied to the
quartermaster general for permission to
dispose of the large amount of forage
then on hand, as it would not be re-
quired for immediate use and would de-
teriorate with time. The hay would
mould and the grain be eaten by mice.
The matter has dragged the slow length
of departmental machinery and at
length the Washington authorities have
issued an order permitting the sale.
Hence the advertisement. AS it is re-
ported that bids at price less than the
original contract will not be accepted,
1T is hardly likely that the sale will
prove very rapid.
There is also quite quantity of can
teen stores at the post left by the 10th
cavalry. These will be forwarded to
that troop. which is now at Fort Worth,
Tex. Should the bill prohibiting the sale
of beer at post canteens become effect
i've, it is likely that the entire canteen
system will be abandoned. as those peo-
pie who are posted say that it is only
the profit on the beer sales that enables
the canteen to exist at all and the pro-
hibition of this will cause the SOL
diers to make their purchases from post
traders or neighboring towns, all of
which is of course very welcome news
to people engaged in the trade. Now,
the people of Havre only pray that the
war or the necessity for troops at for
eign posts may speedily end and the
old fort at their doors be again filled
10 the last berth with boys in the gray
SLOUGH hats and the blue coats.

A PERPLEXING CASE.
Mrs. Henry Arrested on n Warrant Sworn
Out by Her Daughter.

Out by Her Daughter.
Great Falls, Feb. 21.-Another of
those perplexing justice court cases is
to be tried before Judge Race on Thurs
day afternoon. 1t all arose from a visit
paid by Mrs. Hunnewell of Deep Creek
to her mother, Mrs. Louisa M Henry,
who lives in this city. The visit was
paid on Dec. 8, Mrs. Hunnewell driving
in from the ranch and sleeping over
night in her mothers house. The latter
is II years of age. Mrs. Hunnewell
claims that she went to sleep with 5000
in currency in her pocketbook. When
she arose in the morning both the pock-
etbook and money were gone. Besides
herself she says that only her mother
and boy slept in the house. She sus-
pected her mother of taking the money
and search of the house was made,
but resulted in nothing. Mrs. Hume
well let the matter rest until last Fri
day, when she swore out a search war
rant before Judge Race and the consta-
BILE, accompanied by a lady, went to Mrs
Henry's house to serve it. On the per-
son Of the old lady We're found $3.50 in
bills which Mrs. Hunnewell swears are
a part of what she lost, having de-
scribed the money fairly well to the
justice at the time of taking out the
warrant Mrs. Henry claims that the
money is her own and her neighbors

of its resulting in pneumonia. If rea-

all danger will be avoided. Among the

remedy for la grippe we have yet to
learn of a single case having resulted
