ASKS THEM TO PROTEST.
State Labor Organizations Will Object
to State House Furniture Con-


The labor unions of Montana have
been asked to protest against the
state closing contract with the Rob.
ert Mitchell Furniture company Of
Cincinnati for the furniture in the
new state house on the ground that
the Cincinnati firm is non-union
house. The state furnishing board
has been notified of the protests that
would be made. The contract has
not been closed with the company.
1t appears that as soon as the
trades and labor assembly of Gin
cinnati learned that the Robert Nit
chell company had secured the con-
tract in Montana kilograms were sent
to the trades and labor assemblies in
Montana to protest against the Gin
cinnati firm getting the job on ac-
count of it's non-unionism. The trades
and labor assembly in Butte and 9th.
er cities that have been notified will
hold meetings to consider the protest
of the Cincinnati unions and take
such action as may seem fitting.
1t is expected that the Montana
unions will forward protests to the
state board. Mr.. Harrison, the repre-
sentative of the Robert Mitchell com.
pany, says that his concern has not
employed union labor for the reason
that there are no labor unions en-
bracing the furniture trade where the
company's factories are located. He
intimates that the protest is the re-
suit of jealousy on the part of cempet-
itors who failed to secure the contract.

WORKED LIKE A REAL CHARM.
How a Prim Young Man Relieved !,
Household Of Cockroaches.

How Prim Young Man Relieved 4
Household Of Cockroaches.
A young housewife recently COM
planned to friend that, being con
PEELED to live in an old house, she
was much annoyed with cOckroaches
She said: Il have used all sorts of pat.
ent insect-killing things, and have
tried 'borax, but l am quite discourag-
ed The friend remarked: "You
wouldn't be willing to try charm,
suppose?" II don't believe in them, CT
course" replied she, "but I've reach
ed the point where l am willing to try
anything" WELL, then" said the
friend, "catch one roach and put it, to-
gether with penny. into a small
pasteboard box. Tie it up neatly and
throw it upon the pavement. Wio.
ever picks it up will get al, your
reaches" The young housewife smil
ed, but for the joke fthe thiag tried
the experiment. She inclosed zach
and a penny in box, according to in
struciions, wrapped AMI tied it attrac-
tive,y with pink paper and string. and
contrived to drop it upon the pave
ment. A prim young man came alons.
g..ant ed covertiy around, picxco ur
the box and strode off. That was three
weeks ago, and the young housewife
hasn't set eyes on a roach since. In
the midst of her rejoicing she compass
sionates the household of the prim
young man, where, presumably, the
pests have betaken themselvs.

Surveying Party Which Has
Been Working on the
CROWS NEST CUTOFF
Has Comrleted Its Work for the Present
and viii Now Probably Do
Locating.

The surveying parties of Great Nor
thern engineers who have been at
work on the preliminary survey of the
cut off from the Crows Nest Pass
railroad to connect with the main
line of the road, have practically
completed their work. Lombard's
outfit, who have been working from
the Dickey lake summit to the Tobac-
co river, have completed their prelim-
mary survey, and have been doing To-
eating work for some time Stan
nard's party is still at the dam on the
lower Whitefish lake, but it is ex-
pected their preliminary work will be
done in a weeks time.
For the first time since the work
started the object of the latter outfit
can be definitely stated. The route
as ordered surveyed will strike the
mouth Of the Bad Rock canyon about
three miles east of Columbia Falls,
and will run in northwesterly direc
tion and connect with the Jennings
branch about three miles below the
mouth Of the Tobacco river. The pro-
posed route will miss the present de-
pot at Columbia Falls by about two
miles and will miss Kalispell 26 miles.
This information is authentic and was
derived from source that can leave
no doubt as to it's being genuine.
When the Stannard party of sur
veyors reach the mouth Of the can
you the work as ordered done from
headquarters will be completed and
the chances are the parties in the
field will do locating work. such as
estimating the grades, getting the
depth of the necessary fills. etc. After
all this work is done the reports viii
be sent to headquarters and after
finding the cost of the proposed road,
it will then be decided as to whether
it will be built. Simply because of the
fact that a survey has been made from
the point on the Jennings branch to
the mouth of the Bad Rock canyon
it does not necessarily follow that the
road will be built on the route sur
veyed. The idea was to find whether
such road would be practicable and
if so, what It would cost. If the cost
is found to De excessive the project
will be abandoned. At a consultation
to be held in the near future between
the men who have had charge of the
work, a plan for future action will be
made. It is not known whether a
survey Will be made down the Still
water river to Kalispell or not, but
such survey has, as yet, not been or
dered.
