Montana StOckmen.

Miles City, Mont, April 18-The
Montana Stock growers adjourned
yesterday. after voting to meet here
again next year. Helena was a
close competitor for the 1903 con
vention and was defeated by bare
half dozen votes. The old officers,
who were reelected, are as follows:
Joseph F. Brown of Burney, presi-
dent; David Pratt of Billings, first
vice-president; Jessie J. Phelps of
Helena, second vice-president, W.
G. Pruett Of Helena, secretary and
treasurer.
Miles City has resumed it's normal
state. The visiting stockmen have
gone to Helena to attend the annual
convent ton OF the Northern Montana
Roundup association. Its president
is w. K. Plowever and it's secretary
is Roy Cleary. This association was
organized six years ago and has a
large membership. The principal
business Of the convention is to

That Railroad Story.

The St. Paul and Minneapolis
papers of Saturday morning told
of the formation of company OF
Minnesota and Iowa capitalists for
the construction of railway from
the twin cities to the Black Hills
via Aberdeen and Pierre. The re-
port went on to state that the new
company had secured the old rights.
of-way of the Rapid City, Missouri
River & St. Paul company, and also
that of the Duluth, Pierre & Black
Hills, and added that active con-
struction would begin inside of two
mont tbs.
The UNION made some inquiry
among local men who are interested
in the rights s-of-way to the east and
they declared they knew nothing of
the project. Parties at Pierre, also
interested, stated that the enter
prise was news to them, and that
they knew nothing about it, so we
are compelled to put this new rail-
road story in with the musty ones Of
the past until something more def
mite and tangible is given out.
The UNION hopes, however, that
there is something substantial in
the report.

The Big Storm.

At a late hour Sunday night a
warm and gentle rain began falling,
continuing until morning. Mon
day dawned warm and foggy, but
before noon the temperature lower
ed somewhat and it began to snow
one of those heavy, wet and cling
ing April SHOWS. "The oldest in
habitant" confessed that he had
never seen tsnow faster. It grew
some colder in the afternoon and
the wind came up. The snowfall
continued and was piled into huge
drifts. A stiff wind blew all of
Monday night and by morning it
piled the snow so high that business
was practically at a standstill. The
pedestrian had no business trying
to get around town. Trains were
tied up, telephone, telegraph and
electric light wires were tangled up
and there was general havoc on
every hand. The Elkhorn snow
plows did their best to open the way
for traffic and it was II o'clock a. m.
before the morning train reached
the city. The storm was general
over an immense scope of country
and in the northern Hill the snow
fall was something terrific.
That there will be some loss OF
stock in this storm goes witout say
ing, as it was the chilling kind that
is always more or less disastrous on
the open range. The storm abated
Tuesday afternoon and everybody
breathed sigh of deep relief at its
conclusion.

The Great Dismal Swamp.

OF Virginia is a breeding ground of
Malaria germs. So is low, wet or
marshy ground everywhere. These
germs cause weakness, cnills and feyer,
aches in the bones and mucles, and
mucles, and may induce dangerous
malaaios. But Electric Bitters never
fail to destroy them and cure malarial
troubles. They will surely prevent
typhoid. "We tried many remedies
for Malaria and Stomach and Liver
troubles" writes John Charleston, of
Byesville, o., 'but never found any
thing as good as Electric Bitters. !"

IrrigatOr Has the Preference.

irrlgatOr HAS the preference.
Bills having for their object the
leasing of vacant public domain for
grazing purposes, now pending in
the house and senate, will be laid to
rest within the next few days. The
public lands committees of DO tn
branches Of congress are awaiting
the opinion of the secretary of the
interior in regard to the measure.
This opinion has been compiled by
the commissioner of the general
land Office and transmitted to the
secretary. After giving 1t few
finishing touches the latter will send
it by special messenger to the COM
mittee interested. But the sub
stance Of the opinion has outstrip-
ped the argument and it is well en-
ough known at present at the cap
itol that the interior department
has frowned on the leasing PROPOSE
ton. This is enough to lay the
pending aside for there are
very few, if any, legislators who
feel enough enthusiasm over the
measure to effect its favorable con-
sideration IN the face of this opinion
from the department having the
public lands in charge
Senator Paris Gibson of Montana,
who has been prominently connec-
ted in the stock interes is in the
Northwest, and who is member of
the subcommittee of the senate
public lands committee having the
leasing measure in charge, says
that the stockmen must look up
different Legislators if they would
have the old regime on the ranges
continue.
"Th re must be a new order of
things" said Senator Gibson, sthe
time has come when we must look
to the settlement of those public
lands and not their isolation by rent
ing them to large cattle concerns.
A bill for leasing the public domain
at 2 cents per acre can never be-
come law, and at the present time
there are too many other measures
affecting public lands pending to
allow such proposition TO even be.
considered. In the first place bill
to lease lands for grazing purposes
would come INTO competition with
our bill for the reclamation of arid
lands by irrigation. If we lease the
public lands how can we proceed to
sell them and irrigate them as we
are proposing to do under the New
lands nsbrough bill? And then
there is the settler to be taken care
of He is the man who takes the
lands and improves them and he,
therefore, should be allowed free
course to chose what lands he may.
+ ut isquite certain in my mind
that north of Texas the cattleman
must face the problem of making
other provision for his stock than
grazing them on the public ranges
and therefore see no opportunity
for a leasing law to go into effect"
Senator Gibson advances no plan
for the relief of the cattle growers
who are occupying the ranges, but
he belives that the limit of the time

MUCH INTEREST IN
CLEAR WATER PLAN
Councilman Hicks Confident That
His Proposition Will Go
Through Successfully.

councilman Tom Hicks is jubiant over
the action of the Common Council in
passing the contract with the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railroad whereby the
city secures the rgnt to run fumes and
water raceways through certain property
or tne company from the proposed set
tllng basin 10 the pump stations. and
he now feels sure that clearer water for
Richmond Is not d great way off He
already pictures In his minds eye
beautiful reservoir brimful of clear,
sparkling water, While he can now easily
imagine aqua as clear as q crystal drip
ping from the faucet in his kitchen.
The action of Council in passing the
contract now puts the matter up to
Mayor Taylor. and he Will at1ix his
signature TO the document within the
next day or So, after which the only
thing that will stand in the way of
clearer water VIII be the appropriation
of enough mone'y with which to erect
the basin. AND lhasmuch as both the
Board of Aldermen and the Common
Council have gone on record as favoring
the proposed plan, it is quite probable
that the resolution of Mr.. Hicks con-
corning the manner in which the neces-
sary money should be raised will pass
without further delay
AS has before been stated, the ordi-
nance of Mr.. Hicks proposes that an
additional tax. equal to the decrease in
State taxes. be added to those of the
city until S5op.UtD mas been raised He
argues that in the event such action is
taken none OF the citizens will feel the
dlnerence, lnaSmuch as their entire
taxes, State, county and city, will show
no increase over what they have hereto
1ore been paying.
1t is not at all probable that the propo-
sltlon from Mr.. John G. Robertson in
regard to furnishing the city with clear
water from Swift Creek Will ever be
seriously considered. and the Joint com
mlttee to which it was referred without
having been read may not submit a
report upon it until after the settling
basin has been disposed of for good.
The proposition was generally discuss
ed among the members Of Council YES
terday and very few, il any. favored
entering into contract with private in
dlVlduals or a corporation for furnishing
water to Richmond

new JAIL WILL BE
READY NOVEMBER |
Joint Meeting Of Grounds and
Buildings and Finance
subcommittee.

Members of the Grounds and Buildings
Committee wanted to know why they
were called upon in the matter of max
ing an estimate as to what IL "oulu
cost to maintain the temporary city jail
from now to the 1st of November AT
that time it is proba BILE that the new Ja'l
will be turned over TO the city.
It was thought by the Grounds ana
Buildings Committee members that the
Finance Committee could have ascertained
that themselves without calling upon
them. It was arranged that subcom-
mittees from each committee should get
together in the matter and talk it over
They got together at 1870 O'Clock yes
terday afternoon and talked 1t over anu
they had the City Attorney and the CITY
Engineer ard the City Auditor with them.
They were Messrs. Gunst and Anderson.
from the Finance Committee and Messrs.
Pollock. Whittet and Hicks. from the
Grounds and Buildings Committee
After talking it over for an hour the
Joint committee felt that the best thing
to do would be to leave it to the Audi-
tor to figure out and that was. according
iy done. 1t is believed it will cost some
thing like $500.
ITS the first time I've never had
chance to say anything, said MI
Hicks. and don't see why the nance
Committee couldn't have settled 1t WITH
out having us fellows here.
The Grounds and Buildings Committee
will meet In regular session at O'Clock

MAY CUT SALARIES
Strong Probability That Committee Will
Recommend 1t.

As result of the action of the Com
non Council in passing the resolution CIV
inc the Committee on Ordinances, Char-
+sr and Reform authority to investigate
tho salaries of all of the city officials and
e,nploves, there is. in case the Board OF
Aldermen concurs in the action OF the
Council. a strong probability that the
.co,nmittee will, after 1t completes the
proposed investigation. submit report
in which they will recommend that the
salaries of several officers and employees
ls cut. instead OF raised.
In speaking Of the matter yesterday
afternoon a member of the committee
stated that the investigation would De
thorough, and would probably result IN
the recommendation that the salaries OF
one or two officials and a number or en-
ployes be cut He did not think that any
would receive a material increase as d
result of the investigation.
Asked concerning the proposed increase
Of the salary of the City Attorney to
$500 per year, he said that there was
not the remctest probability that such
a recommendation would be made. He
was more of the opinion tina he salary of
the office would remain the same. but
sad there was a slight chance Of increas-
ing 1t from $3.50 to $500 or 5000.
