INSPECTION Of BRIDGES
The Annual Work Has Been
Completed.
1T WAS SATISFACTORY
They Were Found in Excellent Condt-
ton on the Divis!on-Steel to Be
Substituted for Wooden
Bridges.

Missoula, Oct 27.-Superintendent
Russell and Supervisor Palmer have
completed the annual inspection OF
bridges and buildings on the Rocky
Mountain division, having returned
last night from a trip over the dlVls-
ion that required more than week.
The inspection was satisfactory. Mr.
Russell says that the bridges on the
division were found in excellent condi-
ton and that but few changes will be
necessary. The only alterations that
are contemplated are in the substl-
tuition of steel for wooden bridges in
several places on the division. The
new steel bridge over Grant creek,
west of Missoula, is completed and the
work of preparing the Fish creek piers
for the new steel structure that is to
be built there is well along. 1t is eX-
pected that there will be several steel
bridges built between Missoula and
Garrison next season, though it will
not be definitely known till after the
first of the year what work will be
laid out for next season.

Cutter Work Resumed.

Missoula, Oct 27.-Contractors Reilly
and Harrigan resumed work on the
cutters of Higgins avenue this morning
and the work has progressed rapidly
to-day. The cutters that have been
laid are all right and will insure a
good surface drainage of the avenue
and cessa ton of the standing water
nuisance that has made the street so
disagreeable this year. Mr.. Reilly is
doing an excellent job and as soon as
the surface of the avenue and the roll
ing are begun by Stinger & Campbell,
which will be early next week, the end
of the improvements of the street will
be in sight. Those who criticised the
plan of the council are beginning to see
that they did not understand what the
plan embraced and there is general sat
isfacton expressed now that the pur-
pose becomes apparent.

Skipper Describes Sight That Few Mer

"Never before had it fallen to my
lot to see the terrible monster we en-
countered on the last passage from
San Francisco toward Nanaimo in the
bark Willscott of Honolulu" said
skipper the other day. I'VE knew that
the octopus grew to an immense size,
as Banks and Solander, who accom-
panied Captain Cook in his first voy
age around the world, found the dead
carcass of one floating on the water to
the westward of Cape Horn. 1t was
supposed to be twenty or thirty feet,
the body only; the tentacles We're hang
ing under the water. 1t was surround
ed by myriads of birds. which We're
feeding greedily on its remains. Pliny
also mentions a similar monster, hav-
ing eight arms thirty feet long and a
corresponding girth, and many other
writer's, too numerous to mention, have
certified to its actual existence. But
I did not believe that anything SINH
lar to the terrible devil fish described
by Victor Hugo was really in exist
ence until I had ocular demonstration
of the fact on this passage.
Its eyes were large, of a greenish
tint and somewhat protrudng; Its
mouth, however. was not so very large
and it appeared to be shaped like a
parrots bill; it's tentacles were taper
ing and, like its body, of grayish col
or, covered with spots. 1t appeared TO

most extraordinary manner as fast as

have been nicknamed by those who saw
their equipment and witnessed their de-
parture last month for the Thompson riv
er country, has returned from its outing
and is now on the road to the Wabash
country. The hunters We're successful in
getting some deer and a bear or two.
Their fishing experience, too was salts
factory. Had they had guide they
would have made a fine record, but they
scorned the advice Of those who recon-
mended a guide to them. and they did
not get along as well as they would have
had they had somebody to show them the
way. Their method of deer hunting was
peculiar to themselves and, had they
been in any other region than The Thomp-
son river country, it is doubtful if they
would have seen a deer. They rode out
in the morning on horseback and found
a good log in the bushes. There they
would sit till a deer came along to be
shot. This plan worked we'll enough
where they We're, but had there been
somebody to show them how deer ought
to be hunted they would have had much
greater success.

dark, dull brown, these changes, no
doubt, indicating the high state OF eN-
citement under which the creature
was at the time.
Suddenly the octopus discharged a
huge jet of a dark-colored fluid tull
into the eyes of a sunfish and then,
rushing forward with the rapidly OF
an arrow, it encircled its prey with
it's long tentacles and in another mo-
ment the victor and vanquished mad
disappeared below the surface or the
water.
I'm a few minutes more we mad sail
ed right over the scene. and found the
water was colored almost black for
space fully 200 feet in diameter, and we
noticed an odor slightly resembling o.
dine rising from the water; our patent
log line of snow white cotton, Whlcn
was towering astern, was coiored al
most black, and it has not yet assum-
ed it's white freshness. although 1t was
towed in the water fully SUI miles 'slilce
the above episode.
about 20 minutes after we had
passed over the spot we saw the hugs
creature again on the surface ENJOY
ing it's meal in a very leiSUrely manner,
rolling the body of the unfortunate sun
fish over and over and biting off large
mOuthfuls with it's cruel looking heak.
Il knew before that these huge oc-
topods and their relatives, the deca-
pods. were not altoeether r7vth'cal. as
they have at the United States Ma
4tiOnal museum III Washington pabei
mache cast of one of the latter, which
was found stranded on the north shore
of Trinity bay, Newfoundland, on the
22d day of September, 1877. The total
length of this specimen. including ten
tacles, was only 60 feet, so it is quite
safe to infer that it had not become of
age when it was wrecked.

Missoula, Oct. 27.-There are on ex-
hibition at the Missoula office of the
Standard some handsome specimens Of
ore from the property Of the Hilarity
Mining company of Wallace. The
Standard recently mentioned this prop
erty as being one that promised to de-
velop into a rich mine. The ore that
is shown at the Standard office con-
firms this prediction and those who
have seen it pronounce it first class.
Meanwhile the Hilarity boys are
chuckling at the disappointment of
those who have been ridiculing them
all the past year and are holding on
to their stock in spite of favorable Of
fers. They will be bonanza kings yet.

The number of men who fail on &C

The number of men who fail on ac-
count of lack of courage is enormous,
says Shoe and Leather Facts. The
number who would refuse to let 60 of a
dollar if they knew positively that it
would bring back, two is astounding.
Such men merely exist. They don't
live. They never really amount to any,
thing. The men who win are the men
who think out the right course to pur-
sue, and then back up their convic-
tons with their last penny and their
last ounce of energy. The first goods
that John Wanamaker ever sold
brought him $35. He delivered his goods
in a wheelbarrow. He collected the
$35 and went directly to a newspaper
office and planked it down for advertis-
ing space. Some men would have spent
$150 for some cheap dodgers and
saved" the rest. They would have
been wheelbarrow merchants to-day.

ductor Houston, who had one Of the
Copper City runs, is now on the Bitter

the other Copper City run, has taken
the Garrson-Butte run on the Mon
tana Union and Conductor Dietrich,
who was on the latter run, has return ID
to Missoula, where he will take his old
run. There is nothing more than unde-
fined rumors concerning the new over
land card. Officially it is stated that
no steps have yet been taken in this
direction.

They Are Optim istic.

Missoula, Oct. 27.--Old-timers have
taken new hope in the inauguration
of pleasant weather term by the
weather clerk and have once more re-
sumed business at the old stand in the
line of prophecy. They are all con-
fident that this style of weather will
be served for several weeks and that,
after all, there will be an Indian sum
mer. 1t is hoped that their prediction
is true. as the earlier attempts of the
weather wise have failed utterly this
year. Not a week of weather has come
out according to their prophecies and
they have become much discouraged.
The latest change, however. has given
them renewed hope and they are max
ing one more effort to redeem them
selves.
