The New Road

The township has figured up the cost
of it's part of the work on the Third-st
extension. The grading cost 81, sol. 50
and the bridges, $4,000, or a total Of
S2O41.52. There may be few lesser
items not included, but at the outside
the wole cost in the township will not
be more than $21OO. OF this the county
paws one half. The township will in.
cur no debt by reason of it. The cost
of the work in the city has not been
determined yet, but including the large
bridge will be about $4,000, the county
will pay one half. Total cost of this
splendid work about $4,000. It was
said by those who had given the mat
ter some thought that the road could
not be put across the river bottom for
less than 5000 estimates even high
err than that were made, 1t is one OF
the finest roads in the country, and a

From the present indications 1T
would appear that about the only con-
ditions which might prevail to inter-
fere with the success of Sank Centres
celebration and racing meet on July 3
and is the possibility of unfavorable
weather. If the elements are con-
genial for those two days this city will
probably entertain a larger crowd
than at any time in it's previous his
tory. We have referred to the July
forecasts of Hicks Alnlal.c and note
that there is nothing unusual in the
way of a weather calamity predicted
for the western states and it appears
to us as possible that the Agricultural
Society of StearnS county has given
the weather man rakeoff for holding
the storms in allegiance for these two
DAYS. Hicks states that during the
first of the month the weather will
turn much warmer and that rains
will pass over some parts of the cOun-

eastern counties of the state is claimed

To Determine Alaskan Boundary.

WASHINGTON, jan. 24.-Secretary
Hay and Sir Michael Herbert, the
British ambassador, today signed
treaty providing for the settlement Of
the Alaskan boundary question. Eff.
forts in this direction have been put
fourth for long time, the pressure
coming from both sides, the Canadian
ministers being anxious to get through
the Klondike to the sea without pass
ing through American territory, and
the Americans insisting upon their
right to the coast line and the control
of the ports.
The treaty signed today provides
for the reference of all the boundary
questions to a mixed tribunal of iur-
lists, three on each side, to determine
the Interpretation to be placed on the
treaty of 1925 between Great Britain
and Russia, which defined the bound.
airy between British America and
Alaska. The treaty will be submitted
to the United States senate very soon,
and an effort will be made to ratify it
before the expiration of the present
session.

Mr.. Lessler identified Philip Doblin

Extra Cost OF State Capitol.

HELENA, Jan. 24.-The committee
on appropriations today concluded its
hearing on the claim of H. L. Frank,

ducing the estim ated profit at ten per-
cent instead of twenty percent Mr..

He did not ask to be reimbursed for
the entire amount. He was willing to
stand the loss sustained by underesti-
mating the bid on the work as ma at
ter of bad judgment, but he asked for
endorsement to the extent OF the ad.
vance cost of materials used in the
onstruction-after he received the
contract.
This advance amounted to total
of about $50, 900 and was due largely
to the increased cost of structural
iron from the time be got started on
the work. The advanced prices for
material aggregated total of nearly
$6O,O0O. The committee was favorably
impressed with Mr.. Franks position
in the matter and were unanimous in
recognizing the business of his claim.
This feeling had been augmented
since Mr.. Frank gave the state a most
creditable piece of work, in spite of
the fact that heavy losses were staring
him in the face. His orders were to
stint nothing.

ballots, 81 in number, for Henry NJ.
Teller to succeed himself as United

elected by President W. H. Adams,
who presided. The result was reached
after week of untiring effort on the
part of democrats, during which many
rumors Of treachery had been circu-
lated, and many delays had occurred
by reason of the absence from roll.call
of different members of the assembly.
There were no repu blicans of either

TO DEpORT THE CREES.
Canadian Indians Have Reservation
Awaiting Them Across the Line.

A Tacoma dispatch to the Anaconda
Standard says: Capt. Jas. O. Ward,
of the Northwest Mounted Police, with
headquarters at Calgary, announces
that the Canadian government will not
take back the Cree Indians from Mon.
tana and Washington unless the gov
ernment of the United States is willing
to bear the entire expense of the de.
portation. Ward is veteran of the
Duck Lake massacre of eighteen years
ago, in which the Crees took an active
part. He has since been stationed in
the Northwest, and was one of the Of
ficers in charge of the movement when
the American government, in 1896,
transported the Crees across the Ca.
madam boundary and delivered them
to the mounted police in Alberta,
whence they were taken to their res
rvation on the banks of the Sas-
ka,chewan. The Crees remained there
only a few weeks and then started
back, despite the fact that those con.
cerned in the Duck Lake massacre
were pardoned and other efforts made
to make the tribe happy and con-
tented.
Ward says that the United States
government has allowed the Crees to
remain on this side of the line so long
without attempting deportation that
Canada will certainly decline to de.
fray the expenses of another removal,
though their reservation on the Sas.
katchewan river still awaits them, just
as they left it.
The Crees want the Can adian gov.
ernment to support them and because
it will not they prefer to roam about
in the more thickly settled district
across the boundar and take life
easy. Negoti iations for deportation
are now pending, Ward says, between
W ashington and Ottawa.

A Daring Criminal Conspiracy.

RED LODGE, Jan. 23.-Officers of
Carbon county have unearthed one of
the most stupendous criminal con-
spiracies in the history of Montana,
having ascertained beyond question
of doubt that the robbery of the Stock
growers bank at Bridger, few weeks
ago, for which five men are now in
jail, was only preliminary to raid
on Red Lodge by 20 desperate men
from the Hole.ln-the-Wa all country in
Wyoming. Three large banks in Red
Lodge were the primary object in view
of the robbers. Several times before
the same people have plotted to raid
the county seat of Carbon county, but
each time the authorities have been
warned in time and have been ready
to give the robbers warm reception,
who therefore desisted. The 'Hole-in-
thew all is infested with outl avs of
every land.
Sheriff Potter has arrested another
member of the alleged gang in the per.
son of Horace T. Lambert, who is now
in jail and will have prelimin ary
hearing on the charge of robbery
January 80. Another sensational de-
velopment in the case is the finding
in possession of the men already in
Jail saw made of wire and corset
steel and a rudely constructed key,
with which the prisoners were plan
ming to escape. Caleb Young, for
mer Texas rancher, has been added to
the sheritf's force and the officers are
watching night and day for a possible
attack on the Jail by confederates,
with view to releasing the five men
