NEW RAILROAD DFPCTS.

1t is reported on apparently good
authority that the Northern Pacific rail-
road will build a depot at Livingston at
a cost of $4,000. 1t is said that plans
have been accepted for the structure
and work will begin this fall or as soon
as the winter season is passed and
building operations are resumed. This
news concerning the proposed improve
ment at the point where the Park
branch taps the main line of the North
ern Pacific is significant as an index to
the growth of western towns and the eX-
tension of Park travel. Not many years
ago it was thought that the depots
erected along the line of the Northern
Pacific were above the average in point
Of size and excellence of construction
and were, in fact better than the devel-
opment of the country and the magni-
tude of the passenger traffic seemed to
warrant. This was especially true of
the handsome structure erected at no
small expense at Livingston. But time
and the advance of improvements have
retired the company's best structures to
the background long before they were
rendered useless by natural wear and
tear. With the demand for a new depot
at Livingston comes a hint from Helena
to the effect that the depot at the cap
ital city is no longer suited to the size
and Importance of the place. MisSoula
also has a new depot to replace the
building which has done service during
the period of the towns early growth
md other division points are being made

There is encouragement in the situation
to give renewed assurance of a union
depot for the city of Butte. The lines
of railroad meeting in this city are be-
coming more and more closely Identified
and new Improvements are being begun
with a frequency and amplitude that
leads to the belief that Butte's turn is
not far away. 1t is not at all out of
place at this time for the Business Mems
associa ton to renew the efforts made in
the past for suitable depot improve

socialistic radicalism: and it Is scarcely
conceivable that on state issues, pure
and simple, the voters of Ohio should
wish to exchange for an experiment with
democratic nostrums the efficient and
sagacious administration which the state
has enjoyed for two years under Cover
nor Nash.
There are. however. other than state
interests directly involved in the Ohio
contest Senator Foraker will be cam
didate to succeed himself before the
legislature to be chosen next month, and
his fight for reelection has deservedly
attracted national attention. Ohio can
i'll afford at this juncture to lose the
services Of her senior senator. Though
still practically two years from the end
of his first term, Senator Foraker has
risen to the front rank among the lead
ers in the deliberatve branch of con-
gress. Both as an orator and as a cOun-
sellor his place among his colleagues has
been quickly and decisively established.
Called upon in his second congress to
assume the management of the Porto
Rican bill-one of the most difficult and
trying pieces of legislation attempted Ill
recent years-Senator Foraker, by his
tact, skill and courage, secured the pas
sage against great odds of a measure
which. though venturing in untried and
puzzling paths. stood successfully every
test which it's constitutional critics could
bring against it. To few senator's Of
equal experience has it been given to
win so complete and striking triumph,

whose career of usefulness it counts on

in Ohio next month will be peculiarly
gratifying If it guarantees beyoal ques-
ton another term for this distinguished
republican leader in the United States

CUMULATIVE INVENTION.

Mighty strides are being taken in in
ventions having electric appliances for
auxilliares. In the feats of Santos Du-
mont, inventor of the dirigible balloon,
may be discovered more exact applica-
ton of the principles which have formed
the foundation of other inventions, and
in results accomplished by wireless tel
egraphy are read lessons in an advanced
science. whose devotees have until now
been in the primary grades.
The feats accomplished by the FRENCH
man, who has apparently solved the
problem of aerial navigation, would have
been impossible without the aid of elec-
tricity as a motive power. Wireless tel
egraphy finds it's initial principles in the
early electric appliances, and each IN
yention apparently makes clear the way
for some greater achievement of science
ana fresh triumph Of ingenuity. The
cumulative process of invention now
going on appears to be as endless as the
combinations which may be made from
the principles of chemistry. Growing by
what it feeds on the expanding science
is yet in it's infancy and appears des-
tined to develop, even in this generation,
to an extent which few years ago APP
peared impossible.

STATE BOWLING LEAGUE.

Prospects for a state bowling league
which will successfully combine the
several towns in Montana in a series of
contests for the state bowling champion
ship, grow brighter each day. Already
enthusiastic devotees of the game say
that the league has outlined series of
events for the winter which will be the
most satisfactory sport of the kind ever
seen in the west. Butte, will of course,
figure prominently in the membership of
the league and will maintain it's excel
lent record as the center Of sporting in
terests and the home of hospitality to
visiting organizations. A state bowling
league deserves encouragement. 1t can
be maintained without the difficulties In
the way of expense and trouble that has
caused the decline of so many summer
sports

MONiANA'S MOOltN MILL.

1t is a cause for general rejoicing
among Montana citizens that the wooden
mil at Big Timber is at last in success

industries projected in the state the
woolen mill at the capital of Sweet
Grass county appears to rank first.
Without especial flourish of trumpets the
enterprise was started and has now been
carried to successful completion. Mon
tana grown wool is being made into
blankets and other fabrics within sight
OF the ranges of the state, and there is
every prospect of success for the ambi-

wish the new enterprise we'll. Whatever

THE OHIO CAMPAIGN.
New York Tribune.)

With the county to county canvass
begun last Monday by Senator Foraker,
the campaign in Ohio has entered its
final and most aggressive stage. Prior
to the senior senator's appearance on
the stump interest in Ohio's "off-year"
struggle had visbly dragged. The party
conventions which put state tickets in
the field met on unusually early dates
and at the season when campaign ac-
tivities should normally have begun all
partisan discussion was hushed in the
shadow of the tragedy which robbed the
nation of its president and the state of
one of its noblest and best loved sons.
After due and proper pause. the con-
test has been resumed on the lines origi-
nally laid down for it. and in the few
weeks which remain before election it
promises to develop spirit and energy
recognizable this year in the politics OF
no other state. SGT
From a national point of view a re-
publican victory in Ohio this fan IL of
the utmost consequence. Even We're q
few state offices alone at stake. the
moral effect of a republican reverse
would be extremely disastrous. Deny
ing it's real beliefs. and cloaking it's gem
uine purposes behinds a program of "ex-
pediency," the democratic party in Ohio
is seeking power on a platform of false
pretenses. which owes it's only vitality
to it's partial surrender to the theories
of state socialism pressed upon the Co.
lumbus convention by Tom l.. johnson.
The success Of the democratic state
ticket this year would mean. therefore,
not so much the rehabilitation of the
conservative and anti-Bryan elements
which nominated Colonel Kilbourne and
buried the free silver issue as it would

SOLDIER TURNED LOOSE.
John Evans, Arrested Last Night,
Liberated This Morning.

John Evans. a discharged soldier. who
was arrested last night by Deputy Sheriff
Proebstel, on request from the sheriff
at Missoula, was liberated from the
county Jail this morning by Under
Sheriff Michigan, the sheriff of Mis-
soula having withdrawn his request.
Sheriff McGuigan was not informed by
the Missoula official what the charge
against Evans was. the telegram from
the latter simply asking that Evans be
detained.
A press dispatch from Missoula said
that the charge was desertion from the
army, but circumstances do not bear
the dispatch out.
Evans had In his coat pocket certifi-
cate of honorable discharge from the
army, and that fact Is inconsistent with
the charge stated.
When Under Sheriff McGuigan tele-
phoned to Missoula this morning the
sheriff there simply said to let Evans go.

GROWERS NEW ROLE.

Ex-President Grover Cleveland has
appeared before the readers of the Sat
urday Evening Post in light in which
he has not hitherto been seen by the
public. The esteemed democratic wheel
horse contributes an exhaustive article
in defense of fishermen and makes an
attempt to indulge in humor of pom
derous sort during the lighter portions
of his talk to the pa per's readers. Gro
vers wit resembles the gambolings of
an elephant and the style used in his eff
forts to be entertaining serves as strik-
ing contrast to the ponderous messages
and proclamations he wrote during his
terms of office. 1t may be that age has
mellowed the eX-president until parti-
cles of humor have ripened in the recess
ses of his brain where the ponderous
phrases of his state papers were in
cubated. His latest contribution to the
literature of the fisherman is far re-
moved from the windy dullness he en-
ployed in the composition Of his formid-
able messages to congress. This is the
ex-president's first appearance on any
stage as a wit and he supports the part
much better than might be expected.
It is possible that never before has the
ex-president written upon a theme
which called forth the play of his facul-
ties as does the discussion of psca-
torial pleasures. Fishing has been the
paramount issue with Cleveland for
many year and it may be that he has
at last found theme upon which he
can effectively focus his peculiar mental
faculties.

In the nine days remaining for the
Pan-American exposition to gather the
harvest of admission fees it is necessa-
ry for the receipts to net $4,000 per
day. The figures now upon the books
of it's managers require that this sum
be cleared in order to meet the pay
ment on first mortgage bonds. 1t is
plain that there is a doubt concerning
the possibility Of this payment being
made and as this doubt increases the
holders Of second mortgage bonds and
contractors who have unliquidated
claims see their hopes of payment go
glimmering. The Pan-American is not
panning out to the satisfaction of those

Dispatches found in todays news
from Port Townsend relate that three
tons of gold arrived this morning from
St. Michaels. Winter has set in at
Nome and not few residents Of the
country are eager to get away. The
total amount of gold taken out this
season has not yet been announced
but there is reason to believe that the
sum will be so greatly in excess Of for
mer years that the value of Alaskan

lished and the glowing prophecies made
when the country was first explored
will be more than fulfilled.

MEN IN GREAT DEMAND.
Thousands of Laborers Needed In the
Northwest Without Delay.

While there are undoubtedly a few
idle men in Butte today, there is no
necessity for any of them remaining
in that condition. unless they chose to
do so.
From the big cities of Minnesota
Minneapolis and st. Paul-has come
the call for 1000 men for the lumber
camps, and hundreds Of others are
wanted for the ignite coal mines at
Washburn, N. D. Pr
Labor of all kinds offers a chance
in Minnesota and North Dakota, and
the papers are full of advertisements
calling for men at wages ranging from
$3.50 to SO per day. True. these are not
high wages, but even that amount Of
money is better than nothing.
Railroad work in the west is taking
many men at the present time, and
each contractor is willing to guaran-
tee his crews work the whole winter
through at fair wages.
In referring to the demand for labor
at this time a Minnesota paper that
has carefully investigated the subject
says:
"It would be easy to place 1000 men
in good paying jobs within the next
three weeks, according to the employ
ment agents and the big concerns with
whom they do business.
give hundred men could be fur
nished work at a minutes notice, as
they are wanted in hundreds of lumber
and mining camps in the northwest.
I'm railroad work, Guthrie & Co. are
1900 men short on the Crows Nest ex-
tension of the Great Northern, although
hi off for Lob 'xr,1,o
will go into that country. The Jen-
nings branch line of the same system
in Montana is short 600 men.
"In North Dakota 100 to $50 men are
wanted Immediately for work in the lig-
mite coal mines at Washburn.
"E. c. Washburn, general manager of
the Bismarck, Washburn & Great Falls
railway. which has developed the coal
fields says the company is unable to
get men at any price. Wages of So
$3.50 and 50 per day fail to attract the
men.
eve are over 100 cars short on our
order books said Mr.. Washburn. and
the question of getting men is serious
one. We keep standing advertisements
in the North Dakota papers. but in
spite of our best efforts we cannot get a
sufficient number. We could put 100
more men at work tomorrow morning
1.-The lumbermen are already engag-
ing men for the woods, but are meet
ing with only fair success.
Men are always a little scarce at
this time of the year. said Benjamin
F. Nelson, as they hate to go into the
woods so early. The lumbermen re-
quire laborers at this time of the year
for road and other preparatory work.
"Laborers have been scarce for three
years, and the present scarcity does
not surprise us. I think, however, there
will be plenty of men for the woods
later on
"The employment agents have been
insisting for months that there is not
the slightest excuse for able bodied
men being without work. All agencies
have been behind on their orders since
the return of good times.
"Lumbermen are paying from $o6 to
s35 a month with free railroad fare
These figures are far above what the
lumberjacks used to earn a few years
ago."
