0BIT UARY,

Mrs. J. A. Young died at her home
northwest of Westport Sunday mornA
Ing. July 26, 1903. That death loves
q shining was never more keenly felt
than7when we witnessed the depart-
ure OF our beloved. We seldom think
OF death until its shadow falls across
our own pathway hiding from our
eyes the face of some loved one, whose
loving smile WAS the sunlight OF our
existence. The blessings Of life are
seldom appreciated until we feel their
absence, and we know that we are
justified in saying her death is a per-
sonal loss to all who counted her their
friend. Her kindly relations with ali
who knew her, her uniform courtesy
and cheerful disposition together
with her earnest and conscientious de.
meanor, thoughtfulness OF Others and
helpfulness of the sick or needy
formed a rare excellence of Character
and rightly earned for her the respect
and admiration Of all who knew her.
Praise for the living, was always
hers, 1t is not therefore out Of place
to pay her this rightful tribute.
Her loved ones have the sympathy
OF the entire community in their
great bereavement. Words seem
vain when we stand before the kinp
OF kings and offer consolation. Rnt
we 40 have this consolation that
THESE separations are not forever, but
another meeting is promised, where
there will be no more parting. Mrs
Young leaves a husband and six
cllldren to mourn her loss. All were
present at the funeral excepting one
son and one daughter. Mis-. Young

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION

By the President of the United
States Of America-A Proclamation:
The season is at hand when, ac-
cording to the custom of our people.
1t falls upon the president to appoint
a day of praise and thanksgiving to
God. During the last year the Lord
has dealt bountifuly with us, giving
us peace at home and abroad, and the
chance for our citizens to work for
their welfare unhindered by war. fam
inc or plague. 1t behooves us not on
~ to rejoice greatly because of what
has been given us, but to accept it
with solemn sense of responsibility
realizing that under heaven it rests
with ourselves to show that we are
worthy to use as a right what has
thus been entrusted to our care.
In no other place at no other time
has the experiment of government of
the people. by the people and for the
people been tried on so vast a scale
as here in our own country in the
opening years of the twentieth cen
tury. Failure would not only be a
dreadful thing for lis. but a dreadful
thing for all mankind because it
would mean loss of hope for all who
believe in the power and righteous
ness of liberty. Therefore. in thank
ing God for the mercies extended to
us in the past we beseech that he will
not withhold them in the future. and
that our hearts may be aroused to
war steadfastly for good and against
oil
We pray for strength and light. so
that in the coming years we may
with cleanliness, fearlessness and
wisdom. do our allotted work on
earth in such manner as to show that
we are not altogether unworthy Of
the blessings We have received
Now. therefore, |, Theodore Roose
Welt. president of the United States
do hereby designate as a day of gen
eral thanksgiving. Thursday. the 26th
of the coming November, and do re-
commend that throughout the land
people cease from their wonted occu-
pations, and in their several homes
and places of worship render thanks
unto Almighty God for his manifold
melcieS.
In witness whereof. I have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal
Of the United States to be affixed
Done at the city of Washington
this 31st day of October. in the year
of our Lord, One thousand nine hun
dred and three. and of the independ-
ence of the United States the one
hundred and twenty eighth.
BY the President:
Theodore Roosevelt.

NO BIDS FOR BONDS
To Establish Water Plant in the
CAPITAL CITY

Helena, Oct. 29-Today was the
date for opening the bids for the
S614 900 issue of water bonds adver-
tised by the city council, but when
the time came for opening the bids
it was found that none had been sub
mitted. A special meeting of the
council was held this morning and it
was decided to re-advertise for the
bonds. the bids TO be opened Decem-
her Z. At the special meeting of the
council Mayor Edwards read tele-
grams from two eastern banking
houses in which they stated that the
dullness of the money market pre-
vented them from bidding.
Mayor Edwards appears not to be
discouraged at the failure to float the
bonds which We're issued for the pur-
pose of installing 3 city water plant,
it being the intention of the admins
tration to bring the Beaver Creek
water into the city.

Dlsobedience of orders caused the
death OF five men employed on Tie
Columbia Falls cutoff, near Hayden
Friday, and it was only by the mer-
est chance that other workmen es-
laped, The men were in charge of
Peter Peterson, foreman for p.
Walsh, and We're engaged in blasting
out rocks in deep cut. A large shot
was put in and tie foreman was CAL
ed away to a different section OF The
works before it was fired The hcle
was to be cleaned and before leaving
Peterson ordered t'a man doing the
work not to use the iron cleaning ed
but to clean out the dirt by hand He
then went to the top of the cut, and
after an absence of several inmates
he returned. AS he reached the top
of the cut he saw the man using the
heavy iron rod to clean the hole, but
before he could say anything the
blast went off. There were five men
all Italians, in the cut and every one
was killed. their bodies being man
gled and torn in shocking manner
The force of the blast was terrific
and all the workmen We're killed in
stantly, not a man being found alive
by the rescuers, who went to WORK
as soon as the rocks ceased to fall
The foreman and other workmen out
side the cut escaped without scratch
the full force of the blast being con
fined to the narrow space between the
walls
Justice of the Peace Robinson. at
Hayden, acted as coroner and inves-
tigated the affair. but decided that
ID inquest was necessary. Two of
the bodies were buried there, the
other being shipped to Spokane
where they have families and rela-
tives.
The men were all Italians and were
ignorant regarding the handlirg oS
the deadly explosive. and for that rea-
son their foreman always used the
utmost precautions. Whether the
man who caused the explosion dis
obeyed his instructions regarding the
cleaning iron through misunder-
standing or Intentionally will never
I've known as his body was blown to
fragments.
The terrible accident caused the ut
most excitement among the other
workmen. several of whom quit work
in preference to working alongside
of men who did not understand the
handling of giant powder. Among
them was the foreman. Peterson. who
has had 90 years experience, but
his narrow escape was too much for
his nerves, and he quit his job rather
than run the risk of another eXpl0-
sion.
