down in the East Fork canyon near
Medicine Creek. They lay there III
wait for several hours and presently
Hunsaker entered his corral, in which
were several head of his own and three
head of Daily cattle, and butchercd Il
heifer bearing the d bar brand and
dewlap. Witness and companion were
on the hillside between 800 and 400
yards away and watched the affair
through field glasses by means OF
which they could positively distinguish
the brand and marks. Shortly after
wards the two watchers mounted their
horses and rode home. The next
morning, on June 22nd, Ray, Thorn
ing, together with two other cowboys
in the employ of the DAILY estate, Joe
Bush and jeff Whitesell, went back to
Hansaker's and asked t. see the hide
of the heifer he butchered the day be-
fore, and were ordered off the premises
by Mr.. Hunsaker. Ray then rode to
Darcy and swore out warrant for
Hunsaker's arrest, charging him with
cattle stealing, secured a search war
rant and accompanied by Deputy
| Sheriff Simon Overturf, returned to
Hun saker' home.
| Meanwhile he had left his three com
panions stationed in the hills over
looking the Hunsaker place to watch
until his return. According to the
testimony of these three, which was
corroboratory of the foregoing and
d ffered only in detail, shortly after
Rays departure Hunsaker mounted
his horse and rode away into the hills
returning couple of hours later with
fresh hide, which he threw over the
corral fence. During Hunsaker's ab
sence, according to Thorn,ng's testi
mony, Mrs. Hunsaker built fire ir
the yard and proceeded to burn greer
cowhide which had been cut up into
small strips and with which she can'
out from the house and replenishet
the fire from time to time.
In the afternoon Ray and the office
arrived, the papers were served OF
Hunsaker and he was told to produc

REPORTED THAT THE NORTHERN PACIFIC
WILL BEGIN WORK ON THE
LOLO CUTOFF.

Missou;a, Jan. 16.-Eastern re.
ports are that the Northern Pacific
has decided to build It's cutoff from
Missoula through the Lo Lo pass to
Pasco, Wash. This news has not
reached the headquarters of the
Rocky Mountain division in an au-
thentic way, but it seems that the ru-
mors are we'll founded. If the work
begins in the spring, as it is likely to,
Missoula will be one OF the busiest
towns in Western Montana. The
cutoff will give large number of
men work, which will be the means
of giving the merchants all the busi-
ness they can handle. It means a
big thing for Missoula, as the shops
at this place will have to be increas-
ed in size and tie roundhousA will
have to be made larger to accommo-
date the additional engines that will
be required to operate the road. 1t
ls hoped that the reports are true and
that the company will begin opera
tions as soon as the weather opens
up in the spring. The surveys were
completed a couple OF years ago
1 The Line was proposed several years
ago and would have been built then
but for the difficulties between the
Northern Pacific and the Oregon
Railway e. Navigation company, re-
suJting in truce affecting Clear
water valley extensions. Its con-
struction will shorten the haul from
St. Paul to the coast 800 miles ano
will cut out the immense bend in the
main line in western Montana. Idaho
and Washington, upon the western
portion of which Spokane is stu
ated.
The new line will leave the old a
Missoula, passing south of the towr
and through Lo Lo pass, the onl,
gap in the mountains free from snow
in winter. Thence it will be carried
! almost west and south to Pasco
/ where connection with the mai
line will be made. In connection
with the Linn -Ellensburg cutof
Z upon which tho Northern Pacific ha
; decided to expend $4,O00,00O, it wi
5 shorten the St. Paul-Portland lin
\ about 40 miles, or the distance be
|, tween st. Paul and Chicago.
The construction of the cutoff wi
} involve additional yards and shop
Z and roundhouse facilities at Missoul;
4 which is now a division poilt of con
: siderable Importance. The cost {
; the work is unofficially stated to b
: between $5,OOO,O0O and $6,OOO,000.

the project first formulated by the late
Marcus Daily to supply the Butte
smelters with British Columbia coal
and coke. There is no finer coal in ex-
istence for coking than the Crows
Nest coal, and the building of the Kali
ispel cutoff will mean the con-
struction of immense coking ovens ia
the country along the boundary.
while do MOI want to be known
in the matter, you can say that the
proposed line south from Kalispell to
connect with the Northern Pacific will
be built next summer" said a Saint
Paul railway contractor. II am not
at liberty to give the source of m7 in.
formation, but am positive of the
facts. 1t will not be definitely known
what the route will be until the sur.
veyors now engaged on the work make
their report, but enough is known to
say that the road will follow the west
ern shore Of Flathead lake, thence
down the valley of the Flathead river
to junction with the Northern Pa
cific, probably in the vicinity of Jocko,
forty four miles west of Missoula,
COAL FROM CROWS NEST.
"The distance between Kalispell and
Jocko, is about sixty five miles, air
line, and the distance via rail will not
exceed ninety miles. The Crows
Nest coal fields will thus be reached
by building line north from Columbia
Falls to the International boundary.
or rather to connect with the Montana
q Great Northern road from Jennings
at point near the international
boundary. The Crows Nest coal fields
will thus be reached with about sew
enty-five miles of road, making the
total distance from the coal mlnes to
Jocko about 10 miles. The distance
from Jocko to Butte via Northern Pa
chic is 172 miles.
ut will thus be seen that both lines
will have an equal haul in putting the
coal into Butte. The Great Northern
will have the advantage Of a down.
grade haul the entire distance, while
the heavy work will be done by the
Northern Pacific. As result the
Great Northern, while getting an
equal distribution of the revenue, will
be i'll L position to earn more per mile
on the same business than the North
ern Pacific, and thus keep the former
road a little in advance of its formid-
able rival in the matter of earning
capacity as compared with expenses,
an item that is never overlooked BY
President Hill. In fact, the Great
Northern can deliver the coal destined
Jocko at less revenue and earn more
: than if it were to haul the coal the en-
= tire distance over its own line via Pa
!. ciic Junction.
1.-The Great Northern to deiivea
Crows Nest coal via its own line b
:, the smeltcrs at Butte would have t.
. haul it about 625 miles over the steep
;. est grades of the system, hence til
cost of hauling would more than equa
the difference in revenue if hauled vi,
the shorter route. which will not ex.
coed $50 miles. 1t is purely a businea
proposition, and, with the two road
now working in harmony under tls
consolidation, is bound to be i goo
one, and is but another instance OF Ii
: business acumcn of President Hit. ~

AT THE TURN OF THE YEAR.

After all there is nothing in the
trade situation in ex-
ports or imports-to justify pes5i-
mism of any sort. Our exports OF
manufactured goods were never
greater in amount except in 1900,
and then they were but slightly lar
ger. We are invading foreign mar
kets, not simply with our food pro-
ducts, but with our manufactured
goods.
Our exports taken as a whole will
PROBABLY exceed in the calendar year
our imports by $40O, 100000, or by
Just about the aggregate of our eX-
ports of manufactured goods.In other
words, our shops and mills have
given US this year q handsome bal
ance, and there is no reason to ex-
pect that they will do less well in
the years to come, despite all the eff
forts of England and Germany to
regain lost trade. The situation as a
whole, is full of hope, whether we
regard the products of our soil or the
products Of our factories.
This healthy state of things is re-
iected in current railroad earnings.
The railroads are making fine show
ings. They are crowded with busi-
ness. Most Of them are crowded to
the point Of congestion. It is poor
road indeed that is not earning divl-
dends, and some Of them are earn
ing as high as Is per cent. on stocks
that represent much more than ac-
tylal investments: Nor is there the
smallest expectation of any immed-
late change in railway earnings.
| Why then the hesitation and
shrinkage in Wall street? The an
swer must be found in the word
sscaution," for ii cannot be found in
anything else. The banks and cap
italists think the time has come to
slacken the speed of upward prices,
in order that prosperity may be
maintained a long time. This in
wolves waiting time in Wall street
No one is buying, but no one is de.
sirous of selling. The public is not
in Wall street, and the banks are not
encouraging loans for speculative
purposes. It is healthy, whole
some, waiting time, that is all
and prosperity is losing nothing be
cause Of it. It is in fact a scheme t6
} prolong prosperity, and as such Il
j, should be regarded.

WRITES A LETTER TO SEN
ATOR SIMMONS.
Says the Article in the Washington
Star Does Not Express His Senti-
ments, and Writes to Cor
rect Portions of it.

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator
Simmons has received the following
letter from the Postmaster General:
"My Dear SENATOR The follow
ing article appeared in the Wash
ington Evening Star of the 9th in
slant. (Here follows the Star ar

"Probably this article was written
because of a short conversation [ had
with a representative of that paper.
There are some parts Of it however
which are so far from rejecting my
sentiments that 1 cannot refrain from
dropping you this note to correct
the impression which [ am sure the
article might make upon your mind.
"One sentence of the article reads:
sThe place for such objection to be
made is in the Senate when nomina-
tions are sent there and it is rather
an unheard of proceeding for Dem
ocratic delegation to visit the Post
master General and proclaim it's op-
position to a man for an office
'I assure you that there is no such
feeling as the two sentences quoted
from the article would imply. It is
not unusual for this department to
inquire of you and of other members
of your party in Congress regarding
I ttI4 Cn3irdtfpr and (aDacIIV or men

For THE ARGUS.
ALONG OUR WAY.
BY LAURA A. MOORE.

Life's path is a rugged way, papa,
While on the dark side we grope
We see the mistakes of our brother,
papa,
AS it were through a microscope.
His failure we notice so quickly,
papa,
But, to cheer him, don't often take
time.
When one kind word said by some
one, papa,
Might lift a great load from his
mind.
That word like the long lost arrow,
papa,
Which was kept by an oaken tree,
Might comfort our friend in grief,
And be whispered in thy sorrow
to thee.
Yes, that word like the apple of gold,
papa,
In picture of silver found,
May be Heavenly charity retold,
papa,
And soul to Holiness bound.
May God help us take first, papa,
The beam from our own blinded
sight,
Then the mote from the eye of our
brother, papa,
To our amazement, may already
be out.
Let us keep our eye on the Saviour,
papa,
Like Peter, as he began to sink,
And Jesus will smooth the rough
path, papa,
More than we could ask or think.

COTTON LETTER,
(By Special Telegram.)

New York, Dec. 13-1 p. M
Cotton prices eased off this morning
on small offerings, but later turned
steady and advanced 2 to 3 points.
Although the market continues dull
interest in the staple appears to be
broadening.
The statistical situation is so very
strong in numerous directions that
people who will most require cotton
betray great anxiety lest they have
been deceived by bear leaders as to
the actual size of the crop.
If the movement is safe guide for
estimating the crop then we shall
witness before many days decided
change in sentiment.
Small crop estimaters are ,jubilant
since receipts fail to show up larger,
while the fact that the visible supply
of America alone is $500 less than
last year, is in itself enough to pre-.
vent any decline Of Importance, and
it should, ere long, bring in conf.
, dent buyers who will not be shaker
out by ridiculous explanations Of the
small movement which have nc
sound basis.
| Receipts at ports for the day were
33, 600, against $4,000 for the cor
responding period last year.

Dear Sir: You'd strike it rich if
you could find way to shave your
customers in less time, for less cost,
and make the shave last twice or
three times as long.
You wouldn't shave the same per-
son so many times, nor get so much
of his money; but the whole town
would be talking about you, and
everybody would come to you for a
shave.
Devoe lead and zinc is exactly that

again for years and years-six years
