RESIGNED HIS PASTORATE.
After Service Of Over Seven Years Rev. Wat.
son Decides to Leave Red Lodge.

Rev. w. IL. Watson announced from
the pulpit in the Congregational church
last Sunday that he intended to hand in
his resignation as pastor at the annual
church meeting next Tuesday. lie said
it seemed to him to be right that he
should do 50 in the interests Of all con-
cerned. Though he did not like to be
influenced by purely personal motives,
he felt that a change might be beneficial
to him, after long service in this alti-
tudc, and that it would perhaps be bet
ter now for the church to have Il new
pastor.
The agreement between the church
and Mr. Watson calls for three months
notice on either side to terminate the en-
gagement, so that Mr.. Watson will con
tinue ii his present Office until the end
of March, when it is probable he viii
remove, with his family, from the city.

MONTANA'S COAL MINES.
State Inspector Welsh Files His Annual Re
port and Saws Ventilation Is Good.

The annual report Of State Coal Mine
Inspector Howard f. Welsh was filed
with Governor Toole last Tuesday. Ac
cordng to the document there were thir
ty-three accidents in the various coal
mines of the state last year Of which
seven were fatal. The Rocky Fork
mines furnished one of the fatalities,
when Oscar Padalia met death Feb. a:
the Clarke Fork mines at Gebo, one,
when Night Engineer Harry G. Smith
was killed in the fan house Dec. 6, and
the Bridger mines, one, when j. Y. Pen
nell was fatally injured April 6. The in
spector finds that the new law requiring
immediate notification by operators of
mines in cases Of accidents is deficient,
and he recommends an amendment by
the legislature.
Reviewing the coal minining opera
tions in the various counties, beginning
with the large plant Of the Rocky Fork
Coal company, he says:
The matter of ventilation in these

points. Everything that could be done
