A town can never expect to
amount to much if its inhabitants
are lparsimonious in expenditures
for improvements. In this twen-
tieth century progression demands
the necessary Improvements for the
health and comfort of the human
race, and all over this country
towns and cities are rivaling each
other in securing sanitary sewer
age, clean and well-paved streets,
and other needfu1 improvements
that tend to reduce the death rate.
In the West the crusade in the in
terest of health has made gigantic
strides, but this could be accounted
for on the ground, that the Western
towns are not as old as those in the
East, and consequently the cost of
Improvements not quite as expen-
sive. Milford is in need of fur
ther improvements in the way Of
sanitary sewerage and street paw
ing. Her average expenditures for
the last twelve years have been
$I25o annually. For the year 1902
the sum Of $I4II, 90 was expended
on the streets. The town receives
from the counties $4,000 per year,
which must be spent on the streets,
and this sum helps considerably in
the amount to be raised to defray
expenses. Bonds necessary to fin

WASHINGTON LETTER.

The President and his Secretary
of the Navy are deeply concerned
over the action of the Senate in
amending the Naval appropriation
bill to provide for 1000 ton battle
ships and $500 ton cruisers, the
House having authorized 10000
ton battleships and "a, 500 ton
cruisers. On the same day that
the Senate took this action the
Naval Board on Construction rem
dered a unanimous opinion to Sec
retary Moody that it would be
harmful retrogression to build
battleships of less than 10000 tons
displacement and cruisers of less
than 14,5oo tons displacement. "
The Naval Board says that a
change to the smaller type Of yes
sells will necessitate much unnec-
essary expense and delay as it will
mean the changing of plans, pat
terms, ETC., and when the ships are
built they will fail to give satisfac-
ton or add to the strength Of the
Navy on lines commensurate with
/ the expense involved. The Presi-
dent is thoroughly interested i'll the
development of the Navy, and is
much disappointed at the action OF
the Senate Committee.
President Roosevelt made a re-
cent trip to New York to partici-
pate in the celebration of the an
niversary of John Wesley. While
there he conferred with some of the
leaders of his party and some most
interesting gossip is coming to
Washington as a result of those
conferences. The President S
friends say that he will be nomina-
ted for the Presidency next year by
the almost unanimous vote Of the
convention and that Senator Bev-
eridge will occupy the second place
on the ticket. They say this is al
age of young men, and with Pres
ident As and a Vice President but
four years his junior, the spirit oi
the age will be carried into effect
It is further stated that during the
campaign Mr.. Roosevelt will re
main in the White House while
Senator Beveridge, who is an orator
of renown, will stump" the Wesf
in the interest of the ticket. Mr.
Beveridge, according to these re
ports, is very popular in the West
and the Presidents popularity il
that section is we'll known while
his hold on New York State is con
tinually growing stronger.

Thu Evening Journal speaks
in disparaging terms of Mr.. J.
Frank Alice, the Union Republi-
cans choice for Senator. We are
sorry the editor of the Journal
is not suited, and perhaps if the
members of the Legislature had
only known the editors ideas on
the subject, they might have done
different. If the editor of the Jour
nal" would petition the United
States Senate to turn Senator Alice
out, most likely the legislature
would consult the editor as to who
he wanted to fill the place. We do
not wish to say anything against
the other Senator, Mr.. Ball, as he is
a friend of the editor of the Jour
nal" we merely state this fact
though, and ask the editor to re-
member it, and that is After Sen
ator Alice has been in Washington
three months, he will have a better
knowledge of affairs and have more
weight than Senator Ball with his
two years experience.

OUR new Congressman secured
the nomination, which led to his
election by deal. His election to
the Senatorship is traceable to the
same source, and yet people talk
about the CRATER" in politics.
THE Union Republican party IS
stronger to-day than it ever was.
II has a United States Senator and
a National Committeeman, and as
a party it cannot be ignored in Nat
ional politics. Its mission is still
the same-fghting Democrats, and
It will continue in the fight until
the Democratic party is thing of
the past. Judging from late events,
that day is not very far distant.

LARGEST IN THE TATE,
New South Side School DISTINGUISHED
by Its Bio Bell.

b Because of the mistake made by
the shippers the new southside school
has the largest and finest toned bell
of any school in the state, in fact
the largest bell, except one, in the
state, the exception being the one
in the cathedral at Helena. The bell,
which was received sometime ago
was hung today. 1t weighs 1900
pounds, is 4S inches in diameter and
is equipped with a striker and a
toller. The frame supporting it
weighs 400 pounds.
Although the bell costs SIS more
than the n ordered, the district
will not have to pay the difference,
as the mistake was made by the
firm from whom it was bought, and
rather than pay the freight, which
would amount to more than the diff
ference in the price Of the two bells,
the sellers decided to allow it to re-
main at the cost of the smaller and
cheaper quality bell ordered. Instead
OF steel, the alloy is brass, giving the
bell q much sweeter and clearer tone.

AN AUTOMATIC cANcELLER.
Billings P~ostotfice to Have One in
Short Time.

~SsSIs sShS wH
xPostmaster Babcock has been mott
fed by the postmaster general that
a cancelling machine will be INSTALL
ed in the local p~ostofice very soon.
1t seems that the plant has been
shipped from Washington and is now
en- route to Billings, as the notice
said it was not to be unpacked until
after the arrival of an inspector, who
will come to set it up and show the
mailing clerk how to operate it.
Two years ago Mr.. Babcock was
offered a similar machine, to be ope-
rated by power, generated either by
water or electricity, but the expense
for power would have been too great
and the offer was not accepted. Since
then a machine that can be worked
by hand has been invented and it is
one Of the latter that has been or
dered installed.
The only other offices in the state
doing business enough to justify the
use of automatic cancelling machines
are Butte, Helena, Great Falls and
Anaconda. Through the kindness of
Captain Perkins, postoffice inspector
for this district, who recommended
installation of the plant, Billings will
be the fifth office to be thus equipped.

DIsBARRED ATTORNEY FACES
CRIMINAL CHARGE.
WARRANT HAS BEEN SERVED
Pleads Not Guilty to Obtaining Money
Under False Pretenses-Time
for Hearing Set.

Red Lodge, Jan. 20.-F. G. Wood
wards troubles are not oyer by any
means. In addition to his disbarment
by the supreme court, he is now call
ed upon to answer to the charge of
obtaining money under false pretens-
es. A complaint making this accu-
sation was sworn out by Justice of
the Peace David Hawthorne this
morning, in the court of Justice EN-
NETT Chatfield. The warrant was
served on Woodward by Constable
William Brown. Woodward then ap-
peared before Chatfield and pleaded
not guilty. His hearing is set for
Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
Hawthorne says that Woodward
gave him two worthless checks on
the Red Lodge State bank, although
he bases his complaint only on one
for SIS given by Woodward Dec. 9.
Hawthorne took the check to the bank
and payment was refused. He there
fore came back on Woodward for
the money. The latter persuaded
Hawthorne that he would make it
good, and on the representation that
he was getting some good legal fees
and would make his bank account
good in future, he induced Hawthorne
to let him have $40 more, giving
another check on the same bank for
that amount. Hawthorne presented
this also, together with the first one,
and payment was again refused. He
went for Woodward again. during the
recent session of the district court.
He has in his possession a note
written by Woodward saying: "Please
hold those checks until l see you, and
I will take them up myself. l. am
busy in court today"
Hawthorne waited in vain to be
I seen and this morning began the ac-
| ton which he says he will prosecute
vigorously. In view of the fact that
Carbon county has no county attor-
ney, Hawthorne was obliged to insti-
tute the action himself.

To anyone annoyed with an aching

which follow in the wake of that far
too prevalent trouble, kidney com
plant, the following evidence should
prove of untold value:
Mr.. Leroy Grant, state auditor,
with offices in the state capitol, resi-
dence 3214 Capital avenue, gave the
following for publication in the month
of May, 1899. 1t is exactly as Mr..
Grant expressed himself, and should
be doubly interesting when confirm
ed in an interview considerably over
three years after it first appeared
in the Cheyenne papers,. Mr.. Grant
says: g" am not counting publicity
when l state that Doan's Kidney Pills
were used in my family and brought
un%equivocal benefit. When there are
so many preparations the market,
all claiming especial merit, a sufferer
is in doubt as to which to select.
Basing my opinions on actual facts,
l advise anyone annoyed with back
ache or weakened or overexcited kid
neys to try Doan's Kidney Pills.
They will not be disappointed" In
the month of November, 1902, Mrs:
Leroy Grant confirmed the above as
follows: "Mr. Grant gave for publ
cation in May, 1899, a statement about
Doan's Kidney Pills. During the three
years and a half which have passed,
that statement has repeatedly appear
ed in the Cheyenne papers, and Mr.
! Grant has never lost an opportunity
of corroborating it in personal inter

people that dependence coule be

MUST answer to charge OF Attempted
Murder.
AS a result of his freedom of touch
and mistaken zeal in behalf of his
employer, Louis Leon is bound over
to the district court and will have
to stand trial a second time on the
charge of attempting to kill another
man.
His preliminary examination was
completed before Justice Mann yes.
terday afternoon and at it's conclu-
sion he was held in the sum of $500
to appear at the next term of court.
No testimony was offered in behalf
of the defense, but a proposition was
made by the attorney of Leon that
the original charge be withdrawn and
the defendant be permitted to plead
guilty to a complaint charging him
with assault in the third degree, a
misdemeanor, punishable by a fine.
To this the county attorney refused
to consent and Leon was held. He
furnished bonds.
The testimony of the state appear
ed quite conclusive and unless Leon
a overcome it on trial he stands
III a fair way of being punished for
his second attempt to kill.

Treaty Bill.
The matter of sending a represen-
tative citizen to Washington to press
the claims of the people of eastern
Montana for the opening of the north
ern part of the Grow Indian reserva-
ton to settlement has taken such
shape that Congressman-elect Dick
son has been invited to join the Mon
tana congressional delegation to urge
the passage of the measure.
Correspondence on the subject was
opened a few days ago between Mr..
Dickson and Secretary White of the
Billings Commercial club and the lat
ter gentleman received a letter from
Mr.. Dickson this morning stating 1t
would afford him much pleasure to-
go to Washington in behalf of the
people of this section and labor with
Senators Clark and Gibson and Rep
resentative Edwards for the object
sought.
Mr.. Dickson said that he would be
able to leave his home at Missoula
for Washington within the next 10
days and if necessary would leave
at an earlier date.
The people of the city who have
appealed to Mr.. Dickson to go to
Washington in their interest did not
do so from a lack of confidence in
the states duly accredited represen-
tatives at the seat of national govern
ment, but as Mr.. Dickson is the in
coming congressman and his politics
is in accord with the party in power
in congress-, they conceived the idea
that he could possibly be of some
aid there in urging the passage of the

interests and the action so far as
Huff is concerned has been dismiss
ed. In his complaint plaintiff alleges
that he is the owner and ip control
of a large area of land which he
has fenced and is using for grazing
purposes, he being the owner of about
10000 sheep; that sometime between
January l and May 26, 1902, the de-
PENDANT caused to be driven a large
number of cattle, about 400 or 500,
onto the land described and permitted
them to Craze upon it, to the manifest
and, irreparable' damage of the plain
tiff.
On the strength of the showing
made by him at the time the action
was begun an alternative order was
issued requiring the defendant to
show aus why the restraining order
prayed for should not issue. Hearing,
of the order was fixed for June Is
and the injunction asked for Vas
granted, pending trial of the CASE Of
it's merits, since which time the de-
PENDANT has ceased to be guilty of
abe trespass complained of. The
action is now tor the purpose of re-
covering damages in the sun of $500
and to make the temporary injunc-
ton permanent.
AS brought out by plaintiffs testi-
mony this morning it appears that he
and the defendant had entered into
some sort of an agreement by which
defendant was to buy of him certain
sections Of land acquired by plaintiff
by purchase from the Northern Pa
cifc Railway company. Subsequent
ly, it seems, defendant concluded to
take some other land, but before the
deal pending was completed he drove
cattle into the enclosure claimed by
plaintiff and permitted them to Craze
there. Thomas says that he. ordered
the cattle removed and on several
occasions drove them out, only to
have them returned by employees of
the defendant, who when spoken to
about the matter is alleged to have
replied that the land was not the
property of plaintiff, but belonged to
the government and he had no more
right to it than the defendant and
the latter would allow his cattle to
Craze upon it as long as he pleased.
Thomas admitted on his examina-
ton that some of the land did belong
to the government, but that the par
ticular sections on which the al}eg-
ed trespass is said to have been COM
mitted belonged to him personally,
having bought it from the railroad.
In addition to the land bought from
the company Thomas says he also
controls some by virtue of a lease
from the state.
