SAYS IT'S UNTRUE.
Steward of Ice Harvesters Says Union
Men Have Not Resumed Work.

To the Editor:
In the Wednesday issue of The Ga
zette I noticed a misstatement of the
facts in regard to the men quitting
work on G. A. Berky's ice job, which
I desire to correct.
Any person of ordinary intelligence
knows that Mr.. Berky has no power
to compel any man to join anything,
but if Mr.. Berky thinks it more profit
able to discharge II good men, resi-
dents of Billings, and some of them
with families, rather than discharge
one man, who is not a resident, and
whose only excuse for not wanting to
join the Labor union, is that he in
tends to leave town in a short time,
Mr.. Berky has a perfect right to do so.
That some of the union men have
returned to work for Mr.. Berky is
entirely untrue, o will they v do
SO until their very reasonable request
is granted. Yours respectfully,
Henry Watson, Steward.

w. H. SIEBERT LOCATED.
He Is at Nashville Nebraska and Wants
to Make Up with His Wife.

William H. Siebert, the young east
erner, who deserted his wife on the
Musselshell about two years ago, after
living with her less than two months,
is now located at Rushville, Neb.,
where he has been ever since leaving
this state.
Siebert, as it will be remembered,
is "A son Ut former Captain Siebert Of
the New York police force. The
young man, i'll an interview with a
reporter at Rushville, stated that him
self and wife had mutually agreed to
sparata and he hopes they will live
together again. Siebert evidently has
not gained the consent of his former
wife to these proceedings, for she is
now divorced from him, and from all
reports is soon to be married. OF
course, there is no doubt but what
Siebert would delight to have his
former wife take him unto herself
again since she is heiress to a large
sum by reason of the death of her
father last summer.

ICE HARvESTERS STRIKE.
Wanted Mr.. Berky to Compel a Man to
Join the Union.
From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.

From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
A small sized strike occurred Sun
day among the men who are employed
by G.. A. Berky in harvesting ice.
1t seems that all the men, with the
exception of one, were members of the
labor union. According to MI. Berky's
version the labor men called upon
him and demanded that he insist upon
the man joining the union. This Mr..
Berky declined to do, stating he had
no power to compel a man to do such
a thing. The union men a few hours
afterwards met at the ice houses and
when Mr.. Berky inquired why they
had left work, the spokesman told
him. Mr.. Berky %thereupon proceeded
to pay off the men and some of them
are out of a job by reason of it. Some
have gone back to work while the
places of the others have been filled.

TO EXPAND.
Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone Company
Contemplates Improvements.

.= Is. H-N .L.E S... " 90. FL s.
Extensive improvements and extern
sions are being planned by the Rocky
Mountain Bell Telephone company.
Several important cities not now ac-
cessible by telephone will be included
in the system and local exchanges will
be put in at several places.
The company now has in the neigh
borhood of 1900 miles of telephone
line in Montana, and the additions
that are to be made in the spring will
add fully 800 miles to the present sys-
tenn. Superintendent Harry Sommers
of Helena is authority for the state
ment that the company will make
notable improvements in it's facilities,
particularly in this state.
A new exchange is at present being
installed in Big Timber, and as soon as
the frost goes out Of the ground the
line will be extended from Big Timber
to Billings. Two lines will be strung
east from this city, one following the
Northern Pacific to Miles City, and
the other following the Burlington to
Deadwood, where it will be connected
WIFI Ene denver line.
Another line is to be built from
Butte to Bozeman, via Whitehall, and
from this line a spur will be put out
to Pony, a half a dozen miles from the
main line. This will give connec-
ton with an important mining local
ity. A short line, q little more than
a dozen miles long, will be built from
Rochester to Melrose, in Beaverhead
and Madison counties.
In speaking of Montana as a tele-
phone state, Superintendent Sommers
is quoted as saying:
cat present, Montana, for it's popu-
~lation, has one of the best systems Of
telephone communication in the coun-
try. Indeed, our facilities are even
better than in a few of the more thick
ly populated states.
"This state is one of magnificent
distances and it's comparatively small
population presents quite an obstacle
in the way of progress. We have,
however, an excellent system, and are
improving it every year.
"We are working east from Helena
and when we have the line to Miles
City completed it will not be long
until we complete the circuit to st.
Paul. The Northwestern comany is
working west from Fargo, and has a
line as far as Bismarck. That leaves
a comparatively small gap to be filed
between Miles City and Bismarck.
"An invention known as a tele-
phone repeater has been perfected
which will make possible communica-
tion from coast to- coast. In other
words, a business man can talk from
New York to his customer in Seattle
or San Francisco. During the next
summer it will be put in practical
operation. The line will start at
New York, go to Chicago, thence to
Kansas City and Denver, thence to
Salt Lake, to Butte and then to Spo-
kane, and direct to all coast points,"

MAR1NG-wHALEY NUPT1ALs.
Another Happy Event in Which Billings
Loses Popular Young Lady.

A. very pretty wedding occurred at
the home of DR.. and Mrs. Andrew
CLARK in this city Wednesday, the oc-
casion being the marriage of the lat
ter's sister. Miss Maud Whaley, and
MI. j. @. Maring. The ceremony was
performed at 10 O'Clock in the morn
ing by the Rev. Geo. 9. Stull, the i'm
mediate relatives and a few friends of
the contracting parties alone being
present.
The impressive marriage ceremony
of the Methodist Episcopal church
was used, taking placed in the parlor,
the bride being given away by her
brother-in-law, DR.. A. Clark. Jean
nette and Harriette CLARK, the two
little nieces of the bride, were flower
girls, and they made a beautiful pic
ture in their dainty gowns of pink and
blue silk organdie. The bride was
becomingly attired in a going-away
gown of cheviot, purple velvet waist,
Russian blouse, trimmed in applique.
Following the ceremony and congratu-
l%ations, al elaborate breakfast was
served.
The decorations for the happy event
were among the most beautiful ever
seen in Billings. The color effects
were green, white and pink, carried
out with ferns, evergreens, carnations
and American Beauty roses, together
with Narcissus and ~violets.
The bride is known to the great
majority Of the people Of Billings, for
in the three years she has resided here
with her sister, Mrs. Clark, she has
made hosts of friends and acquaintance
by her sunny temper and modest and
maidenly reserve, and has endeared
herself to all. The groom was for
almost two years cashier of the North
ern Pacific freight Office IN Billings,
and was popular among all his &c
quaintances. He is a young man of
sterling character and thoroughly de-
serves his good fortune. Mr.. Maring
is now employed with the Butte, Ana
conda & Pacific railroad as cashier of
the freight office in Anaconda. =
Mr.. and Mrs. Maring left Wednesday
noon for the west and after spending
about ten days in Helena and Butte,
will go to Anaconda, their future
home.

Northern Pacific Will Spend an Immense
Sum of Money This Year.

The Northern Pacific will spend an
immense sum of money this year in
new equipment, the additional roll
ing stock being destined wholly for
freight service. The total expendit-
ures will be close to $4,000, 600, one
of the largest OUTLAWS for equipment
made by any road in several years.
The order will embrace 5000 box
cars, 800 fiat cars and $50 GOAL cars.
The cars will be delivered at the
earliest possible moment. The con-
tract goes to the American Steel Foun-
dry company of st. Louis. The COM
pany has reason to believe that it's
traffic the coming year will increase
all out Of bounds, and that to handle
it more equipment must be secured
quickly. Last year the road bought
81 immense new locomotives and
still another lot is now being negotiat-
ed for.

GREAT FALLS TO LIVINGSTON,
Rumors of New Railroads
the Air.

That there will be a railroad run
ming from Great Falls to Livingston,
via this place, within the next eigh-
teen months is among the probabili-
ties. says the Rocky Mountain Hus-
bandman. To say positively that it
will be consummated would probably
be putting it a little strong and yet
there is a good field for such a line
and we believe it will be built.
The route is one of the best IN the
state, it being entirely free from heavy
grades, and the inducement to build
such a line to haul the ores from this
vicinity to Great Falls. The copper
mines here promise an immense ton
mage, besides there are immense de-
posits of iron ore, valuable for fux,
excellent lime and a. considerable
quantity of lead and silver ores. The
entire length of the road is through a
tonnage producing district and of the
IT'S miles of road there would be rs
miles of it through a splendid mineral
country. There is also a show to send
a branch from this line into the Gal
latin valley to Bozeman and on via the
West Gallatin to the National park if
desired. The only thing that is likely
to deter the gentlemen now investi-
eating the proposition from undertake
ing would be on early start of the
Montana road north from Dorsey.
But the Montana seems bent on an
eastern connection and is slow to en-
terrain the proposition to penetrate the
Smith river valley. We, however,
will not have long to wait, for unless
the Montana forces are in the field
early the Great Falls road will get
in shape.
1t was only a few weeks ago that
there was a widespread report that an
electric railroad was to be built from
Billings to Great Falls, the power be-
ing supplied by the Yellowstone
river. This seems to have been an
idle dream and that the dreamer has
been at work again is verified IN the
above report.

would have been impressed with an
idea that a murder case was being
tried, SO great was the interest that
conferred there. But it was only a
civil case, wherein CLANS Nelson was
plaintiff and Chas. and Ben Mahr were
defendants. All parties laid claim to
a horse worth not over $40. A num-
Der of witnesses were ~subroenaed for
both sides and there were about 25
spectators besides. The case was
given to the jury at about $50
o'clock, which, after being out about
half an hour, returned with a verdict
for the defendants.
