Question of Interest to Farmers 10.
Gated on Railroads.
One Of the cases that will come I'd
before Judge Loud Saturday when
he reopens court will be a proceeding
instituted by the state to review the
case of the Northern Pacific railway
and A. w. kennie, justice Of the
peace. The case was originated by
Sam Gilmore, who had some cattle
killed by the railroad company, and
who filed claim for damages. The
company refused to pay the claim
stating in defense that their fences
were all in good condition and that
the cattle were killed through no
neglect of their. Mr.. Gilmore then
filed suit and in addition had a war
rant issued because of the failure Of
the company to comply with the law
that specifies that a railroad com.
pany shall file with the county clerk
in each county a notice designatin,
the station where complete record
of all the stock killed on the right
of way shall be kept for the inspec
tion Of stockmen. There was an old
law on the statute books which was
declared unconstitutional but the one
now in effect is new one and has
never been tested. The railroad com
pany will fight the case and if de
feated will carry it up to the highe.
courts. The outcome will be await
ed with interest by stock men all
over the state.-Yellowstone Journal

Washington, Dec. 14.-In the sen

investigation of the claims of William
A. Clark and Martin Maginnis, to
seats in the senate under appointment
of the governor of Montana, be re
ferred to the committee on privileges
and elections as it had not come from
the standing committee. Mr.. Chand.
ler, chairman of that committee, i'm.
mediately reported back to the sen

was objected to on technical grounds
but the resolution was finally referred

SCHOOL OF MINES MUDDLE.
Trustees May Resign Educational
Board Cause Trouble.

Butte, Dec. 14-At a meeting Oh
Thursday night of trustees of the
School of Mines, resolution was sub
mitted which rendered the resigra-
tion of the board on the body. This
action was the outgrowth of interfer-
ence with the boards work by the
state board of education, which, at
it's recent meeting refused to ratify
the contracts with the faculty made
by the Butte board, and otherwise did
not endorse many of the acts Of the
local board. The resolution was left
over until today, when meeting was
held in the office of Ex-Governor J. Fl.
Rickars. The matter was put to a
vote before discussion proceeded very
far and the result was tie. Ex-Goy-
ernor Richards and JuHge Pemberton
voted against the proposition to re-
sign, and Messrs. Long and Forbjs
voted for it. Trustee Moulthrop was
not present. 1t is expected that
Long and Forbis will resign individ-
ually.

President of the OBrien Company Talks
in Helena-Tells of the Flat

John O'Brien, president of the Jonn

the court house this morning, says
the Helena Herald. Mr.. O'Brien is
the personal representative of Presi-
dent James J. Hill, of the Great
Northern railway company, and is in

built from Kalispell to Flathead lake.
within week we expect to com

Brien today. 1.-The road will be used
during the spring for logging purpos.
es. It is not however in any respect
a logging road.
1--WE have already contracted for
the cutting of 3O,OOO,OOO feet of tim
Der, and before the first of the year
we will have contracts completed for
fully double that amount. Our saw
mill will be built just as soon as the
road is completed. The foundation
is already laid and we expect to have
it saving the logs cut during the win
spring.
According to our present plans, the
saw mill will have capacity of 800,
900 feet every "a hours. This will
give Flathead lake the largest lum-
Der output in the state. The compan-
les engaged in numbering around the
lake have in the past not cut to eX'
ceed 100000 feet every year. We
will the first year cut four times that
amount.
"The railroad is - miles long and
has been built entirely by contract;
that will also be true of the cutting
of the logs. During the winter the
contractors who cut logs for us will
employ not less than 700 men in the
woods and possibly nearly 1000.
"The quality of timber growing
around Flathead lake and upon the
several rivers that strike the lake
near it's head is Of the best and the
supply is sufficient to keep the mill
running for many years. The fire.
quency of the water courses makes
it an easy matter to handle the logs
When the logging season is over we
will still employ a large number OF
men in the saw mill and the railroad
will also give employment to many.

This new process, however, will
