RepaiPin. Breaks,

Missoula, April 20.-Since the floods of
two weeks ago there has been a general
scramble to repair the places along the
river that We're known to be weak The
piers of the big bridge and of the Rat
tlesnake bridge have been reinforced
by numerous loads of rock that have
been dumped beside them, and cribbing
has been renewed wherever it was
needed The big bank in the rear of
the Hammond building has been rip
raped by some huge boulders that
have been dumped behind the log crib
blng. 1t is hought. that this will resist
the force of the later rise in the river
On the big BlackfOot and the Bitter
Root the dams have been strengthened
and thoroughly inspected. At Hamil-
ton men are still a work on the dam at
the saw-mills, but it is believed that it
is all safe now.

NOVEL TEMPERANCE SCHEME.
How a Manufacturer Secured "Dry
Town in Indiana.

How Manufacturer Secured a "Dry"
Town in Indiana.
From the Cleveland Leader.
A manufacturer at Three Oaks, Ind,
has just inaugurated a temperance re-
form in that town that is at once novel
and apparently practicable. This man,
who has several hundred employees, re-
Gently offered to pay into the village
treasury annually an amount equal to
the license fees derived from the sa
looms if the authorities would abolish
the saloons and make the town dry"
If the offer was refused he threat
ened to remove his factory to another
town.
The proposition was submitted to the
council and it in turn referred the mat
ter to the people at a special election.
The result was an overwhelming vic
tory for temperance. The saloons will
be closed, the village treasury will re-
ceive the annual payment promised and
the factory will not be removed.
Of course it is not difficult to under
stand why this manufacturer desired
the closing of the saloons. He probably
realized that he could get better work
from his employees if they were always
sober. and he will doubtless discover
that the money paid for the closing of
the saloons is we'll invested

There will be two Oscar tracks put in
west of the ice house and a new load

yards. The present rip track is also
to be used for yard purposes and will
be graded and Strengthened, while a
new rip track for car repair and similar

that there will be any room to spare,

done in the M!ssoula yards this year
is much greater than that of any prev
