Rev. Albert Pfaus returned Satur-
day from Kalispcll, where he attend
ed the spring meeting OF the presby-
terry OF the Presbyterian church. He
was greatly pleased with the Flat
head metropolis and says that with
out doubt Kalispell is the prettiest
place in the state.
River Press: The force which Fer
gus county has had at work on the
bridge across Arrow creek has just
finished that job. The new bridge
at Samples crossing was first finish
ed and the old one moved to the
crossing OF Sage creek, while another
old bridge was moved on to the Utica
road.
County Attorney Smith returned
from Hunters Hot Springs Tuesday,
after a stay OF two weeks. He was
greatly benefited by the baths. Mr..
Smith took occasion to visit Bill
ings and Livingston while on the
railroad, and reports both places
prosperous and growing rapidly.
At Livingston he met Charley Berg,
formerly OF this place. Mr.. Berg is
postmaster at Livingston and his
duties keep him busy day and night.
Mr.. Smith says Judge Meagher is
slowly improving and will remain at
the Springs indefinitely.

came here from Dakota for trent
ment a couple OF months since, died
Monday morning from an affection
Of the heart brought about by a pro-
tracted rheumatic affection of six or
eight years standing. lie was a ma
tive OF the south, but vas n resident,
until recently, ofDakota. He bought
horses last year in the Judith valley
and in handling them got n sever
fall from his saddle animal which
greatly aggravated his malady. He
leaves n wife and little son, who
were with him here, to mourn his
early taking off, he being only IL
years Of age. His funeral took place
Tuesday afternoon.
Easter morning was bright and
pleasant and those who rose in time
to appear in fresh colors before ll:30
a. III. were quite fortunate, for after
that the day was most dlsagreeable,
showers following in quick success
sion and the skies constantly cloud
ed. About 10 n. m. heavy thunder
was heard in the east and flashes ol
lightning appeared over the Judith
range. In the AFTERNOON the first
rainbow of the season rested on the
tops of the Judith. The services in
the Presbyterian and Catholic
churches were well attended. NJ
Methodist minister was in town and
consequently that church was closed

What's the matter with the pound
master! Cattle are again running at
large on our streets when they are
not grazing on private lawns and
flower gardens. Cows are nuisance
at large and the city should see that

River Press: The new time table
OF the Great Northern and Montana
Central has been announced and will
go into effect Sunday, April 22d. The
only changes will be that the east
bound train will arrive at Fort Ben
ton an hour later-6 a. m, while the
west bound will reach here at 100 p.
m. instead of 9 o'clock. Connections
will be made Mt Havre with the main

The rival candidates for road sup
ervisor in the lower Spring Creek dis
trict, Thos. Micho and CYRIL Koos,
were before the board ofcommission-
ers last week, each seeking appoint
ment. 1t was finally agreed that the
tie should be decided by the Tipping
of a dollar and koos won on thetoss,
John Branger officiating as referee.
This result the commissioners ac-
cepted and Koos was appointed. In
two other districts the vote resulted
in a tie. In district No. -, l.. T..
Stigen was appointed, and in district
No. 80 Henry Willis was selected.
Thecounty commissioners are much
pleased with the new bridges put in
this spring across the judith river,
Sage creek and Ross Fork. The
work has been well done and travel
ers are assured that they will not be
put to the Inconvenience of past
years. Chairman Phillips says that
the new bridge at Samples Crossing
has been placed with extra care and
the contractors were favored with
good weather. This crossing has
been a constant source of annoyance
and expense for many years, but it is
believed that the new bridge is as
good as any in the state.
We hear from reliable source that
b. C. White has rendered his resigna-
ton as superintendent OF the reform
school at Miles City to Gov. Smith,
and II accepted Mr.. White and family
will return to the Judith Basin to
reside at an early date. Mr.. White
has large interests in this county
which require his personal attention.
He has been very successful in his
management OF the school at Miles
City, and no doubt Gov. Smith will
greatly regret his determination to
resign. The many friends of thefam-
lily in this vicinity will be glad to
know that they will return to Fergus
county.

THEY DON
HOLD Us Up
The Plumbers Deny
Allegations.
NOT OVERpA|D SAY THEY.
Compared with Cost of Material and
Living Wages are Low
In Honolulu.

The members of the Journeyman
Plumbers Association in Honolulu say
that statements have been made about
them which are not true. They declare
that they are not banded together to
roo the people of Honolulu, and they
want it known for the benefit of people
who believe they are looking for spoil
that the plumbers of Honolulu are not
getting the same wages proportionately
as are plumbers in almost all the prin-
cipal cities of the United States west
of the Missouri river. They give in
stances, as follows:
The plumbers in Butte City, Montana,
receive S. per day of eight hours; in
Seattle, Tacoma and Spokane, Wash
ington, they receive $3.50 per day of
eight hours; in San Francisco the wag
es paid are 81 day of eight hours.
They show, in substantiation of their
claims, the difference in prices between
San Francisco and Honolulu. "A few
days ago." said one of the plumbers,
talking to an Advertiser reporter, Il
was in need of some tools and went
to one Of the principal hardware stores
and priced the goods. 1 needed a pair
of pliers, worth in San Francisco, 35
L
wanted a wrench, worth, in San Fran
cisco, $1.50; here L was asked 50. so.
| Other tools cost in the same proper
| tion."
| Continuing on this line of argument,
| the plumber said, There's big diff
ference in the prices of articles outside
the hardware line, as we'll. 1t all counts
up. We have to pay more for almost
everything down here than we would
on the Coast. Wages should be pro-
portionately higher. In regard to one
master plumber trying to sell a jour-
| neyman plumber to another for SO to
! get rid of him, why, as soon as a master
| plumber doesn't want man or does
not need him around. he Immediately
discharges him. There are thirty-five
Ijourneyman plumbers in town at pres
ent time and where they don't do their
work properly there is a Board of
! Health to compel them to do the right
thing. When an advertisement was
placed in the San Francisco papers,
warning plumbers to stay away from
Honolulu there was twenty per cent
and more of the plumbers here idle
l would like to see the plumber In Ho-
nolulu who gets SO a day."
1t is said that the plan Of the local
union is to keep journeyman plumbers
out of the country so that those here
can make any demands they choose
WHefi the sewerage Work starts IN. Inls
the local men deny The following is
the advertisement which was inserted
in the San Francisco papers:

NE|LLS TELL OF THEIR
SUCCESS IN HONOLULU

The James Neill Company has made
tremendous success in Honolulu, where,
up to the date of the opening on June %,
there had not been a good theatrical en-
tertainment for many months, says the
San Francisco Music and Drama. The
excitement and uncertainty caused by the
Visitations of the plague and the politi-
cal situation abated after the annexation
of Hawaii and the first performance I'M
der the new regime was given by the
Neil Company. Business Manager Ed
VIII. II. Neil1, the genial and exceedingly
popular brother of the successful actor.
reports the receipts for the first two
weeks to be $4,000.
The opening production was IAN Amer
ioen Citizen and the repertoire, which
is published elsewhere, illustrates the
strength and versatility of the Neill or
eanization. Extra performances were
given when 1t was announced that the
Neills would leave soon and there were
numerous theater parties from the sister
stands hundreds of miles away and from
the adjacent plantations, the people going
from all directions to patroniZe the popu-
lar organization. Charles Aston Parker,
who directed the tour, says that the Neill
&C mpany will arrive in San Francisco per
Alameda on or about July a. and have
already received an offer of a guarantee
of $4,000 for a season of five weeks in Ho-
nolulu, year from the coming month.
Mr.. Parker says that next year the COM
pany will extend the tour to Australia
and the Orient.
