BRIGHT IDEAS OF
MONTANA EDITORS
A Kick Coming.

The citizens of Eastern Montana have
a kick coming against the postal au-
thorities in general, those of the North
ern Pacific railway from ST. Paul to
Helena in particular. The postal ser
vice on this line is most inetticiently
managed. The service needs and should
have more and better men on this line.
Tuesday nights west bound passenger
brought to this city forty pouches of
mail that lad never been touched by
the route agent simply because he was
ar inexperienced boy, not man. and
it was his first trip over the road and
he did not know the stations to which
the mail was addressed. even had be
been otherwise capable of handling it.
The surplus was turned over to the
agent gong west from Billings and the
letters and papers intended for this city
will have to be sent back as soon as the
bags can be worked. This was not all
the extra" mail which the young agent
had in his keeping on reaching the end
of the division. He was possessed of
about twenty packages of registered
matter for Dakota points. The boy did
rot know the names of the stations
along the road and so he concluded to
turn them over to the authorities here
and await further instructions. This is
a piece of injustice to the people of Mon
tana that should certainly be redressed,
end that this is righteous rather than
democratic kick. we will refer to the
postal authorities of Billings as author
ity for the foregoing statement.-Bill-

Heat and Drouth
10 RELIEF AS YET IN SIGHT
The Hot Weather Also Continued in

porting a Record Breaking Temporal
ture Of 1o6 Degrees.

Washington, July 24.-With the eX-
ception of sc-ttered thunderstorms.
the most important of which. so far at
least as reports to the weather bureau
show, was that at North Platte, Neb
where S-100 OF an inch Of rain fell the
Lrouth and intense heat continued yes
terday throughout the states of the
corn belt
Temperatures again averaged over
400 degrees in that area, making the
thirty-sixth consecutive day in which
the thermonCte has risen 10 80 de-
grees and higher. Aside from North
Platte a trace of rain was officially
reported at Des Moines, 2-100 of an
inch at Kansas City, some rain in
north central Texas, some in Arkan-
sas, some in south Texas, and also
some in northern Minnesota. In other
sections Official Forecaster Franken-
field says there may have been thun-
der showers as reported in the press
dispatches though the bureau received
no advices otAer than those hereto
fore stated from its observers. The
storms, he said, brought only tempo
rary relief and afford little sustenance
to the overparched ground, which, af-
ter the greatly protracted period of
drouth, needs a general rain. Accord
ing to present indications there seems
TO be no prospect of such a downpour
for the next two days at least. Be-
yond that time the officials will not
make any predictions. Generally
speaking, the temperatures in the SUI
perheated area were not so high as on
Monday, but such falls as may have
occurred have been due entirely 10 To-
cal changes ana not to any general
differences in atmospheric conditions.
The hot weather also continued in the
northwest, Bismark, n. D., reporting a
record-breaking temperature of 100 de-
grees. There is no prospect of any re-
lief from prevailing conditions in the
central valleys and the middle west,
and Forecaster Frankenfield repeats
his former forecasts of continued
warm weather with light and scattered
thunderstorms for that section. The
only rains indicated are local thunder
showers in the southern states and
Rocky mountain section.

a General Tie.Up.

San Franciso, July ga general
tie-up of wholesale and retail trade of
this city may develop today unless the
Draymen's Association and Brother
hood of Transfers shall reach an
agreement. The trouble grows out of
a boycott of the Morton Special Deliv-
cry Co., non-union concern, by the
San Francisco labor council, and the
design OF the Draymen's association is
to compel the union men to do hauling
for the non-union company. About l.
500 union teamsters have been notified
by their employers that they must
either obey or lose their places. A
sympathetic strike of the porters,
packers and warehousemen employed
along shore, and others whose duties
bring them in contact with the team
sters and draymen, is expected.
