seat in the capacious hall vas taken.
The aisles and gallery filled rapidly
and so large was the crowd that many

lance OF the speakers. While probab-
ly a majority OF those present were
miners who were thrown out of work
recently by the injunction order of
the court, the gathering included men
from every craft and walk in life.

to Jump from walk to walk and from
fimsy building to flimsy building.
With the lack of water the fire had
the forest of wooden structures at its
mercy and all that could be done was
to save life, II possible, and furniture.
Everything portable was carried u
and soon Surf avenue for block was
impossible because of the barriers OF
household goods, weeping women and
children and complaining men.
The burned area extended from Til
you's walk south to Jones walk,
where a brick walk saved the rest OF
the resorts. and from the Bowery to
the cean. a distance of seven blocks.
For two blocks the flames cut a swath
westward OF the Bowery, reaching to
Surf avenue, the principal thorough
fare of the resort. In all this territory
but two buildings were standing to
night untouched.

j. X. Toole. that has been in session
here for two days seeking to bring
about a condition whereby ii would
be possible for the ~Amalgamated com
pany's properties to resume. was I'M
able to accomplish anything. The
committee adjourned late this after
noon and announced to the public
through the medium OF a signed state
ment that its efforts had failed. They
agreed to make no other public state
ments and all appear 10 be living up
10 the agreement.
Efforts Are Unsuccessful.
The announcement that the commit
tees efforts had been unsuccessful
naturally created widespread com.
mcnt, but on the whole did not sur
prise those well informed on the sit
uation. There is, of course, general
regret that a committee composed of
men Of such high standing was unable
even 10 effect a temporary settlement
thai might enable the wheels Of indus
try 10 resume. II is felt that the only
hope of work being resumed within
a reasonable time lies in a special ses-
sion oi the Legislature To enact a law
that, ii IL aCcomplishcs its purpose,
will bring a change in the existing jul
dicial conditions In this county and on
able the parties to the differences TO
obtain fair trials of the issues.
Statement is Issued.
The statement issued by the media
ton committee at the conclusion of
the conference was as follows. being

Great Falls Business Mems associa-

iatiOn committee. entered upon the
discharge of our duties realizing the
magnitude and difficulty of our task.
Nevertheless, We have labOred as.
~siduOusly 10 accomplish the purpose of
our appointment. We have failed to
obtain Il stipulation from the parties
litigant which will insure the resump-
ton Of work by the Amalgamated Cop
per company. and have been unable TO
devise any plan looking to that end
which did not involve the mutual con-
sent of the parties interested.
We regret this exceedingly and
hope that some common ground may
yet be found by the parties themselves
upon which they can stand.

than all the bond.play or Presidential
luncheons in which Carter could pos
sibly indulge. Secretary Carter made
known at this conference what he had
done to assure as nearly as possible
the fulfillment Of the timehonored Re.
publican principle of an honest vote
and an honest count.
Mr.. Carter in discussing the general
election problems made first mention
of the distinctive character OF the bal.
lot paper used. The obvious purpose
OF this step is to prevent any interior
enCe with the absolute secrecy of the
ballot, guard the voter from intimida

protect the community from the cor

vote for cash. Whether these safe
guards are required is an open ques
tiOn, but II is a well-estabished prin.
Ciple Of Republicanlsm that no chances
shall be taken on the absolute integrity
OF the ballot.
The lesson which this action carries
to the voter is the impressive fact that
the Republican party stands for hon

In their election methods so will they
be in the conduct of the county govern

Advertiser seems to think that If we

will be chartering steamers to get

tourist wants more than that. He
