Especial to Inter Noun. 80


Miles City. July 30.--An unavoida BILE
result of the long continued season of
high and muddy water in the Tongue
river this year has been the filing up
of the big storage Well with silt and
sediment from the river water to the
extent that the storage capacity of the
we'll is now materially encroached upon
and a due regard for public safety de-
mands the immediate and thorough
cleaning of it,
In order to accomplish this end and at
the same time matain Il continuous
and adequate domestic supply. it will be
necessary to esta bills a tempo I"y
pumping station in the park. pumping
from the river direct into the main on
Park street and from thence throughout
the system.
Superintendent Mott commenced work
on this today and in the course of two or
three days will have the connection
made, when pumping from the wells will
cease and the work of thoroughly clean
ing them will be pushed as rapidly as
possible.
1t is now five years since the big well
was constructed and three years since
the river connection was made, and in
all this time it has not been cleaned.
and although rooted over securely and
kept free from faint of surface refuse,
it is not surprising that it has filled up
with the slowly accommodating silt car
ried by the water.

being worked on. the excavation for
this table having been finished. During
the week there have been six teams and
forty-five men employed at this work.
The force of men will not be increas ed
to any extent until work commences on
the walls of the shops, when a large ad-
ditional force will be put to work. The
new shops will be 1874 feet long by $50
feet wide, and in connection with the

for that trade attached to it.
The contractors have erected en- the
grounds their own boarding house and
tents for the accommodation of the men
employed in this work.
Material is arriving every day from
different parts of the country for the
new shops, and several car loads of tools.
machinery and supplies have arrived
and are standing the tracks awaiting
their turn to be unloaded.
With these new shops, the new bust
ness blocks, the new residences. and the
combined interest of the Northern Pa
cific railroad and the local merchant to
bank on, there is no reason, it is argued,
why Livingston should not forge to the
front and become the metropolis of
Eastern Montana, and be Butte's Gom-
mercial rival in this state.

SAYS He WAS DECEIVED
PRESIDENT SHAFFER MAKES
HIS STATEMENT.
ORGANIZATIONS and Labor Leaders
Failed to Give the Sup
port Promised.

Pittsburg. Sept. 23.-The Associat-
ed Press has secured an advance copy
of the statement of President Shaffer
of the Amalgamated association, CIV
ing the history of the late strike and
the terms of settlement Shaffer de-
MES that his association was guilty
of breaking contracts and says that
they had the strike well in hand and
were confident Of success until the
newspapers deliberately and malic-
iously published statement which
were replete with lies Our people
began to doubt and upbraid us; some
who had been officials deserted us
and afterwards, like J. D. Hickey, ac-
cepted the terms Of the trust and
scabbed."
In spite of this he had not lost
heart, counting upon the aid so freely
promised by the American Federation
and United Mine Workers. But Meth
er organization contributed one CEN
in aid of the strike.
Perceiving that decisive victory
was now impossible, he>arranged with
Gompers to meet Morgan and effect
a settlement with the idea of saving
what he could. Morgan agreed to a
conference and postponed his vaca-
ton on account of it, but Gompers
failed to appear and has given no
reason therefore. Then President
Mitchell, of the miners, agreed that
if Shaffer would submit the PROPOSE
ton outlined that he would demand
its enforcement on the threat of call
ing out the mine workers. This was
agreed to and the proposal submitted
and rejected by the trust, but no
steps were taken to call a sympa-
thetic strike. Although he was as
sured that the miners and trainmen
stood ready to come out when order
ed. On the other hand Mitchell and
others who had conferred with the
trust managers submitted a proposal
which they urged accepted, which
was practically a surrender of every
thing being fought for.
Shaffer then on the authority of the
executive board, took the matter into
his W hands and succeeded in Sc
curing an agreement with the Ameri-
can Tin Plate Company, Sheet Steel
company and Steel Hoop company.
The terms of this agreement he sub
mits to subordinate lodges and closes
by saying he is vikings to resign if
the members thing him inefficient.
