doing good and practical work at Vlad-
livestock, not only making a waterway
through the thick ice. but towing large
vessels after her into the bay.
The icebreaker it may be remember
ed. does not literally cut through the
ice. The process is rather a smashing
one, the stem and keel being sloped. so
that the fore part of the ship is driven
up on the ice, which then breaks under
the ships weight. According to the pub
lished description the Ermack is a
highly improved type, the construction
being particularly solid and the water
tight compartments peculiarly efficient.
The American bow screw has also been
added, by which the broken hummOcks
of ice are cleared to one side.
1t is said that in addition to its win
ter duties in keeping open the Baltic
ports, the Ermack will be employed in
the early summer in an attempt to open
up the Arctic waters of the White sea,
while it is even suggested that either
alone or in company with a sister ship,
it may eventually find its way to the
north pole. 1t scarcely requires an ex-
pert to raise doubts as to the realizat on
of this latter project. The machinery
of the Ermack consists of four sets of
engines, capable Of exerting 10000 indi-
Gated horse power. In the nature of
such things these engines would not be
given much rest on an Arctic voyage,
and the question Of coal supply would
probably become serious one a very
long time before any important progress
was made in a due northerly direction

An action for divorce was begun YES

by County Attorney j. H. Duffy and
Assistant County Attorney ]. T. Casey
on behalf of Mrs. Alice Ross against
her husband, M. NJ. Ross, who is at

The action for divorce is asked on the
grounds of cruelty Mrs. Ross alleges
in her complaint that they were mar
rled in this state and that they have
three children. They have always re-
sided in this state. She alleges that for
the past two or three years her hus-
band has been very cruel towards her
and that he has during the greater
part of that time used inhuman treat
ment towards her. She says in her
complaint that he has not acted as a
husband should. She alleges that he
struck her and kicked her repeatedly,
and he has also several times called her
vile names in the presence of the chill
dren. She asks the court that she be
granted q divorce and that her hus-
band be compelled to pay her 500 per
month as alimony and also $3.50 as at
torney's fees. She also asks that she
be given the CUSTODY of the three chill
dren, alleging that she believes her hus-
band to be an unfit person to guard
them.
The papers were yesterday mailed to
Missoula, to be served upon M, M,
