CROWS NEST.
Branch Of the Great Northern to BE
Constructed.

Branch Of the Great Northern to BE
Constructed.
The Great Northern branch from
Jennings to the Crows Nest coal fields
will be constructed this season, and
contractors for the grading have been
ordered to take their outfits to Jen-
nings and be prepared to commence
work at a moments notice.
One of the contractors to whom this
order has been given is Napoleon
Nault, who was in Great Falls few
days ago, to learn whether or not he
could get a sub-contract on the con-
struction of the Portage cutoff of the
Montana Central. He could not get in
on the work here and was preparing
to load his. outfit and ship it to Duluth,
when he received telegram from A.
Guthrie & Co. of st. Paul, contractors
for the construction along the Great
Northern system, instructing him to
ship his outfit to Jennings and en-
ploy all needed men for the beginning
of work on the branch to the north.
Mr.. Nault has complied. He is now
hiring men, and will be in readiness
to start work when he gets the word.
Other sub-contractors of Guthrie &
Co. have received the same instruc-
lions, and when the work is commenc-
ed, it will be rapidly pushed.
The line from Jennings to the
boundary will be officially known as
the property of the Montana Il
Great Northern Railway company, the
corporation which recently filed its
articles of incorporation in Great
Falls.
It will be remembered that those ar
ticles also provide for line from the
vicinity of Kalispell to the vicinity of
Jocko, on the Northern Pacific, and it
is believed now that the latter line
will be built this year, affording d.
rect outlet for the products of the
Flathead valley.
The articles also provide that line
is to be built from the vicinity of
Chester, on the Great Northern, in
Choteau county, to the Sweet Grass
hills, but it is understood that the
building of this is dependent upon the
results of the development of the
mineral resources of the hills.-Great
Falls Tribune.

DRAINS A MANURE PILE

DRAINS A MANURE PILE

which is piped to Kalispell from
saltwater, for domestic and other
uses, has been most offensive in
taste, and dozens of families have de-
clned to use it at ali, except after
boiling and filtering. The taste is an
unpleasant one and smacks largely of
crude ammonia. For some time the
water drinkers have noticed this but
could not account for it, until yester-
day man who was afraid of typhoid
in his family from the use of the wa
ter, went down to the power house to
investigate. The water in the filter
well seemed to be clear and pure, but
when tasted, that same bad faint was
noticed, so the Investigator knew that
the trouble was not in the we'll, tank
or pipes.
But to make long research short
story, the foulness of the water sup
ply was found to be due to fill in the
bank, just east Of the bridge over Still
water, where portion of the bank
and roadway had been washed out
this spring. The gap in the road and
on the bank of the river had ben fill
ed in with rock and straw and stable
manure, none of it in state better
than rottenness, except perhaps the
hundred feet from the seepage we'll,
and sort of arm of the river fur
nishes the water supply to the we'll,
and practically drains from the ma
nure pile.
The outrage is one which may be
lasting in it's effect, and the proper
authorities, whether road supervisor
or county commissioners should lose
no time in abating this scandalous
condition of affairs. Either that fill
should be cleansed or some scheme
adopted to lead the water from a
point in the river which is not con-
taminated by stable manure and rot
ten straw. The ammonia faint is
thoroughly accounted for by the seep-
age of the water from the manure pile
to the filter well. Any cases of ty-
phoid or malaria which may wreck
lives in this community IN the near
future may be as readily accounted
for
The water company is not wholly in
nocent in regard to this foul fluid
which is furnished the city, either, as
a remonstrance shauld have been
entered against filling in that river
bank with the offal used, and the peo-
pie should have been warned without
waiting for the impurity of the water
to have first been detected by con-
sumers, who little knew the poison
taken into the system in every drop of
water.
The board of health, with DR.. Mac
donald at the head, went out to the
power house this afternoon to locate
the cause of the tainted water and
will make recommendations needed TO
purify the supply.

the Pro-Boers themselves. The Boer
ultimatum unmasks both parties. The
burghers have every day of the war de-
clared that nothing but indenendence
would satisfy them, yet the English
Pro-Boers have until now insisted that
England only needed to offer equitable
terms as basis Of the conversion of
the two Republics into autonomous
colonies to see them cheerfully accept
ed by the Beers.
Already the Pro-Boer organs here are
beginning to withdraw from their po-
sition of indiscriminately backing up
the Boer leaders, though at present
they reserve their chief censure for
Kruger, who they accuse Of stirring
up, from his safe retreat in Europe,
the opposition Of the burghers to any
reconciliation scheme.
The result Of this seems to be re-

"DoCToRs, IN CONFERENCE.


''Travelling on another fellows pass
is sometimes a dangerous thing" said
a man we'll known in political circles
yesterday.
mot long ago I had occasion to go
to Pittsburg, and borrowed a pass from
a friend of mine who is physician In
addition to being one Of those favored
by the railroad for political reasons.
The conductor took up the pass, with
the others, for over night. as is the
custom, and I thought everything was
all right. But about o'clock in the
morning I was aroused from sound
slumber in my berth by someone shak-
ing me. I looked up, startled. 1t was
the conductor.
Sorry to disturb you, DOCTOR he
said, but there's a man in the car very
sick. Won't you take look at him.
"Here's a pretty fix, thought I; but
I'll have to make the bluff good or for
felt the pass So got up, slipped on
my clothes and looked at the patient.
He was breathing heavily. I felt his
pulse solemnly, measured 1t by my
watch, as though I knew just what
allied him: rs there any one here who
has a flask?' I had half a dozen offers
in a minute. Give him two teaspoons
full Of whisky every ten minutes said
I, and bathe his head with ice water
I knew that prescription wouldn't hurt
him anyway. After the first dose the
patient rallied and was just congrat-
ulating myself when the conductor
came up with another passenger.
"'Here's a fellow physician, DOCTOR
he said. Perhaps a consultation will
be in order
II shook hands with the newcomer,
trembling in my boots. What have
you given him, doctor?' he asked rath-
er sharply. I told him. Excellent he
said. The patient got better, and the
next morning when we had alighted at
Pittsburg the joke being too good to
keep. I made a clean breast Of it to the
physician. He laughed. so, you're not
a doctor at all, eh?' he said. Then he
laughed again and looked about him
cautiously.
Say, old man. he said in a whisper,
that's a good one. Neither am l.

and children being practically prison.
ers in the British reconcentrado camps,
the fighting Beers have sent an ultima
tum to England as stern. as bold. as
strong as that which they sent on Oc-
tober 10. 1899. 1t Is in the shape of
proclamation "to all officers and burgh-
ers" issued by General Botha. General
Schack-Burger and President Steyn,
and a copy Of 1t they sent to Lord
Kitchener.
This proclamation recites that no
suggestion regarding peace can be ac-
cepted unless it includes a declaration
that the Boer Republics shall be left
free and independent.
This was the very purpose or the
original Boer ultimatum. Lord Sails
bury declared it was blunt, insulting
and unreasonable. This new ultima
tum is just as blunt, just as insulting
lust as unreasonable, from a British
viewpoint. and a thousand times more
defiant.
The Boer leaders in this proclamation
or ultimatum, which was included to-
day in a batch of South African cores
pondence given out by the war office,
assert that President Kruger and the
Boer deputation abroad, make satis-
factory reports; that peace would De
worthless without independence; that
no peace should be accepted whose
price was the national existence, and
that, in the interests of the colonial
brothers, the war would be vigorously
prosecuted.
Thus the Beers stand just where they
stood when the war began. They then
believed that they would be victorious.
They seem just as confident today,
though Joubert Is dead. the terrible
Cronje is prisoner with all Of his
marvellous fighters and, though their
artillery, their capitals and even their
farms are in the hands Of their enc
mics. Every disaster has seemed to
strengthen their determination, every
day of misery and desolation has serv-
ed to make them more dangerous.
This fresh defiance has amazed the
British public and has terribly shaken
it's confidence in Lord Kitchener and in
the war office. 1t shows that the Middle
burg negotiations, from which the peo-
pie were taught to hope so much, were
hopeless from the very beginning, and
that Kitchener and the war office knew
they were hopeless, for Botha at the
very first declared the Beers would
never submit unless promised inde-
pendence, and he has never swerved
from this declaration.
The people have been deceived. and
not only by the government, but by
