In northern Montana an examination
Is being made of the water resources on
the Blackfeet Indian reservation by Mr..
Francois T.. Mathes, preliminary to de-
tailed surveys. He will map a quadran-
gle OF the Flathead forest reserve west
OF the Indian reservation and include
the catchment area of st. Mary's lakes.
Mr. Z. IL. Fitch, a surveyor of wide ex
perience in the west, will examine these
lakes during July and organize a party
for the survey of the capacity of these
and the possible location of dams for
holding back the water. If the condi-
tlons are found favorable, canal lines
will be run and estimates prepared of
the cost OF storing water and diverting it
easterly upon the lands within the drain
age basin of the Marias river, or upon
the lower Milk river.
In central Montana it is proposed to
make reconnaissance to ascertain the
existence of reservoir sites in the Mus
sclshell and Judith basins.

erly from the vicinity of st. Mary's lakes
to connect with points near Missoula.
At the same time positions will be deter
mined on the shores of Flathead lake
from which to make detailed hydro
graphic survey of that body of water.
The inflow and outflow of Flathcad lake
will be measured to obtain information
upon which to base plans for the preven
tion OF the flooding of the rich agricul-
tural lands around the lake.
Geologic field work will be carried ON
by Mr. W. II. Weed in the systematic
study of the mines about Butte, and I
propose to accompany him in general
reconnaissance in that part of the state.
Streams measurements are to be con-
tinucd on the headquarters of Missouri,
Yellowstone, Missoula and other rivers
of Importance.
am preparing to leave for Montana
and hope to see you at Helena, where
we can talk over further details. Yours
with respect,

Charles ID. Walcott, the director of the
United States geological survey, who is
now in the city, has come to Montana
for the purpose of generally looking over
the work that his department has in
hand in this state in the way of prelim-
mary surveys and water resources of
different localities, as well as the geolog-
ical work that is carried on in the state
every summer, says the Helena Herald.
After spending few days in Helena Mr..
Walcott will go to Butte to see how the
mineral study of the department is pro-
crossing and then proceed to the Flat
head, where some important surveys are
being made.
Writing to Senator I. II. Carter June
20, Director Walcott outlines as follows
the work to be carried on in Montana
this year:

SMelter For Great Falls Built O,, the
w. A. Clark Plan In Latest Paris Stvle.

A SlMclter For Great Falls Built O,, the.
w. A. Clark Plan In --latest Parts style.
Helena dispatch to the Anaconda
Standard says: Today, probably as the
result OF the presence here of some of
the people interested in certain court
proceedings, the word was tipped that
the Clark Heinze political combine is
going to spring on Great Falls stun
ming sensation to the effect that they
are about to build a great big smelling
plant in that city. The Standard learned
this from Il Butte gentleman now here
who was indiscrect enough to say that
he had it straight that for political pur-
poses the capitalists named arc really
going to build, through the Clark forty
two thousand dollar printing plant in
Great Falls, very commodious paper
smclter that will run in the minds eye
of Great Falls until it has served use
full purpose.
AS is generally understood in Helena
and Great Falls, Clark is the richest
man in the world and Henze the second
richest, SO that the promise given about
the proposed smelter may he relied on.
The plans for the smcltcr have been
prepared, it is said, by Il Paris artist, the
same man who designed and superin-
tended the construction of the million
dollar business block which Clark has
built in Park street in Butte, as often as
once every campaign since 1856, and who
also designed the handsome business
block which Mr.. Clark put up in Helena
with the skilled labor of the carload of
non union coal miners who were import
ed by him for his mines at Bridger when
he compelled the union men to leave the
camp few months ago.
The Standards informant said this
afternoon that he had not seen the plans
for the new paper smelter for Great
Falls, but he was informed by the man
who gave the whole thing away ahead of
the springing of the sensation on Great
Falls, that the plant was to be equipped
with Louis Quatorze crushers and with
jigs of tho Marie Antoineite pattern, for
which Mr.. Clark had already contracted
to pay million dollars apiece. 1t is
also reported that the Heinze boudoir in
the smelter is to be adorned with full
length portrait of William E. Chandler
of New Hampshire. 1t was proposed by
Mr.. Heinze to give the commission for
this portrait to a very able hour sign
painter in Great Falls, but it is said to-
night that a slight difference of opinion,
which it is rumored will not be serious,
has arisen between the two millionaires
on this subject, Mr.. Clark having ex-
pressed decided preference in favor of
a portrait of Geiger, painted by Hon. G.
F. Hoar. In business circles in this city
and at the Montana club, it is not be-
lievcd that this matter in difference will
delay the springing of the paper
smelter on the people of Great Falls.

flames or to drop back into the water
from exhaustion. Men working in the
holds OF four steamships were shut in by
the flames and it was impossible to reach
them. 1t probably never will be known
now many men perished in the ships as
the flames were so fierce they would
leave but few if any remnant of human
bodies. The greatest loss of life appears
to have been on the Saalc. She carried
4'O people and was to have sailed for
Boston this afternoon. When police
boat captain went on board of her with
a rescue party he saw bodies lying all
about the deck. The steamship Bremen
carried 300 men and the Main $50 and if
as many lives were lost on the Bremen
and Main as on the Saalc the number of
lives lost will be very great.
New York, July 1.-The fearful havoc
to life and property caused by the fire
which broke out at the docks of the
North German Lloyd company in Hobo
Ken yesterday caanot be approximated
with any certainty. Conservative people
who have had experience along the
docks are of the opinion that not more
than 200 lives were lost.
One of the officers of the steamer Brc-
men said today that there were fully 200
visitors on board that vessel when the
fire touched there, the majority of them
being women. A boat was lowered from
the Bremen shortly after the alarm had
been given but the craft capsized as it
touched the water and all hands were
prccipitatcd into the water and none of
them were saved by those remaining on
the vessel. This in itself would indicate
that the list of dead may be larger than
it was first thought to be.
The property loss can simply be ap-
proximated at this time. None of the Of
ticials around the docks could give any
thing like a precise estimate of their
losses and none were prepared to make
statement on this point. A conservative
estimate made by prominent fire un-
derwriter places the entire damage at
less than SlO,OOO,OOO.

Most OF Them Scout the Report That

Most OF Them Scout the Report That
Hill Has the Northern Pacific.
One of the principal topics of conver-
sation among local railway men yester-
day was the published statement that
President james j. Hill of the Great
Northern had finally secured control of
the Northern Pacific. All officials of the
Interested lines refused to talk for publ
cation. A few were inclined to believe
that there was something more than
mere rumor in the story. Tho majority,
however, pooh poohed the statement,
maintaining that it was but a repetition
of what had been declared on several
occasions within the past few years, only
to be officially denied after it had been
exploited for all it was worth. Among
those who took the latter stand was A.
Is. Jackson general agent of the Bur
lington. Mr.. Jackson said: "Mr. Hill
may own or control some Northern Paci-
fic stock, but SO far as his ability to die
tate the financial policy of tho Northern
Pacific is concerned l believe the state
mcnt mere rumor gotten up in the inter
est of Mr.. Hill, who gets more newspaper
advertisements if ! may so speak, than
the president of the United States. The
fact that the Great Northern and North
ern Pacific are competitive lines and
have no interests in common except the
maintenance of rates, which can be ac-
complished through other channels
ought to be prima facic evidence that
there is no foundation for the story. In
fact, ! believe that there is no more pos
sibility of the Great Northern and the
Northern Pacific consolidating, or that
the former will control the latter, than
there is possibility of the consolidation
of the Burlington and the Union Pacific,
or that the Union Pacific will secure
control of the Burlington, which is some
times published. But this is not my
fight, and never expect to be president
of either line" Spokane Review.

Hearing In the Montana Contest Case
Has Begun.
Special to the Bee
Kansas City, July 3.-At the national
convention yesterday. the matter of chief
interest was the hearing by a sub b-com-
mittee of the testimony in the Montana
contest case. 1t began directly after the
arrival of Clark and his forces. George
Fred Williams is chairman of the sub
committee of five. Argument for the
rival sides consumed the afternoon. The
committee adjourned till morning. There
is story that there is likely to be two
Clark, two antiClark and one neutral,
but this is not confirmed. The chairman
said at midnight that no poll of the com
mittee had been taken. In street
crowd Oh Clarks arrival colored alter
nate from New York raised yell by
moving that Clark be nominated for
vice president The matter will doubt
less reach vote in full committee some
time Tuesday. The nominations for
vice president are still wide open. Shell
ley of Indiana positively declines. Hill,
Sulzer and Towne are the principal ones
now discussed. Hill is not believed to
be seriously considered, for the signs are
that the platform will declare distinctly
for sixteen to one. It had been an
nounced that on his arrival Clark would
be met by several labor organizations,
but these did not show up.

There is a little boy in Bala who

aged clergyman, talks in the English
manner saying "cahn't." "bahth "

down shamefully, and says "can't' or
bath" with a nasal drawl. 1t is the
little boys job to point out these
lapses Of the old man, and for each re-
buke he gets paid. For a mispro-
nounced cant" path" or ''laugh" he
gets two cents. For a mispronounced
"eithe" or neither" he gets five cents.
For "ain't' instead of 'is not" or "are
not' he gets a dime for the grand

OUR CAVALRY SERVICE.

TO obtain tnis nearly everything else

cavalry, while 1t lacks the spectacular
appearance Of European horse, is far
ahead in all Of the requirements of
actual warfare. Our cavalrymen are
not handicapped with nickel-plated
wash basins on their neads, while
brightly dyed cowtails and gayly paint.

their chargers. Gewagaws are all very
well on review and certainly look very
fine in pictures, hut fifty years of con
tnuous Indian fighting have taught
our horsem just what they need in
their business, and they have that and
nothing more.
The result Of all this aiming and
experimenting with actual war for the
trial, has developed our cavalry in
practice to be a highly useful arm of
the service, while tacticians of English
and continental armies have been
gradually coming to believe that the

The American cavalry is planned on
