Officer McDufIie on investigating the
cause OF the fire which started In the
Chinese block at the corner Of Hotel
and Pauahi street. made a most start
ling discovery, which seemed to indi.
cate very strongly that the fire was Of
incendiary origin. Just after the fire
had been put out, McDufIie was nosing
around at the back Of store where
the fire was. The blaze had been
along the wall outside; close to II were
several empty kerosene tins.
McDufiie detected a strong odor OF
kerosene, which aroused his suspi'
cions He consequently decided t.
enter the store. but the moment he
attempted to do so, the door was clos.
ed in his face by the owner OF the
store. a Chinese by the name OF Len
Tao
McDuffie told the Chinese to open
the door, but this he declined to do
I The officer then put his shoulder TO
the door and broke 1t in. On entering
the room McDuiFie found Len Tao OK

DufIie found the suspicious cirCum
stances strong enough to warrant the
arrest OF the man. and he old the Chi

Len Tao readily acquiesced, but ask
ed McDunie's permission to 80 up
stairs to get his keys in order that hc
could lock up his shop. MCDulii'
granted this, but told the man that ht
would go with him.

iRRlGATING INDIAN LANDS.
Government Constructing Large Canal
on Biackfeet Reservation.

Nine miles south of Browning the
government is constructing an irriga-
ton canal which, when completed, will
water 144.0 900 acres of bench lands
on the Blackfeet reservation. The

The water supply will be taken from
Cut Bank river, which will furnish
an abundant supply the year round.
The ditch will run on the bench lands
on the north side of the Cut Bank.
The work of construction is under
the supervision of Vt. c.. Price, who
has had much experience in irriga-
ton work. The labor is performed
by the Indians from the reservation,
who are paid $3.50 a day for man
and team and $1.25 a day for a man
only. Eight hours constitute a days
work.
AT present there are about IS men
and GO teams. employed on the work.
The excavation is nearly all in earth
and very little rock will be encoun-
tered.
Mr.. Price says he hopes to complete
the work before the close of the year.

st. Paul, May 11.-Shortly after {
o'clock the grand officers and the com
mittee of trainmen sen. an ultimatum
to General Manager Ward, saying
that they could not accept his PROPOSE.
ton, but would have to MAINTAIN their
original position.
A little before moor today General
Manager Ward of the Great Northern
railway met the trainmen's representa-
tives at his Office here to consider the
differences over the handling of dou-
~ble-header trains.
The count of the votes of the men
was completed this morning. All OF
the poll was in the hands of the mems
committee except from the Cascade
division, which was counted this morn
ing. No definite statement about the
count was given out, the men with
holding such information until after
the conference with General 4Lanager
Ward.
Before going to the Great Northern
offices the trainmen's committee met
a number of conductors in secret con-
ference. and the reported compromise
offer OF the railroad is said to have
been under discussion.
Late IN the afternoon the vote of
the trainmen on the differences with
the Great Northern was given out.

OF the committee to Is in support OF
the company. Of the latter, Ia votes
were said to be conductors and only
n a tralnman.
The conference lasted nearly two
hours. The detailed vote of the men
was submitted to the general man
sger n the situation discussed fully.
At the end of the conference. Mr..
Ward announced that no decision had
been reached. and that the committee
had retired to consider a tentative
proposition made by him, and would
return later in the afternoon with
their decision. He added that it had
agreed,not to disclose the nature
OF his proposition until after the sec
ond conference.

The governor has called the legis-
lature to v in extraordinary ses-
sion to vote an appropriation. In do
ing this his ~excellency has but COM
piled with a popular demand. The
people wanted an exhibit and so in
formed the governor. The legislators
have expressed their willingness to
give the state their services for one
day without cost, so the matter OF
expense of the special session need
not enter into further consideration
of the matter. Perhaps the incentive
of being in session at the time the
president shall visit the state capital
and that he is to be asked to see
them at work may have had some
influence on the honorable gentlemen,
but be this as it may, they have con-
septed to be there and they are en-.
titled to the credit for it.
But for all their generosity in re-
spect to donating their services to

TRUCE is DECLARED.

AS is to be supposed, the trainmen
who run into this city are keeping
in close touch with every move OF
their brothers on Jim Hills road and
are kept we'll informed as to every
thing connected with the dispute on
the northern line. One of them stat
ed to The Gazette this morning that
no matter what might occur later on,
it was tolerably certain that there
would be no strike by the Great North
ern men at this time.
According to the information he re-
ceived a truce was declared last night
between the committee representing
Tie men and the management OF the
road by which all matters in connec-
ton with the controversy are to be
permitted to remain in allegiance until
June |; at least no strike is to be
ordered before that date, if at all.
Meanwhile negotiations will probably
be continued and a solution of the
trouble may be reached before then.

REcTlFYING A MISTAKE.

Notwithstanding the great liberality
displayed by a few gentlemen at the
outset and the promptness of their
response, it required only a little time
to demonstrate the fact that the pro.
position to raise by subscription the
money needed for a state exhibit at
the st. Louis exposition was not a
popular one. Only a limited number
could be found who felt themselves
rich enough to take the risk of trust
ing to a future legislature the mat
ter OF their reimbursement. Their
wealth was sufficient to enable them
to exercise their patriotism, but the
trouble was that there were not
enough OF such. After about all OF that
kind had been heard from a very large
deficit still existed and the members
OF the honorary commission appoint
ed by the governor realized that they
were "up against it," At their very
first meeting they resolved that the
~ J1OIA was d lllllG
more than they could hope to carry
out successfully, and so informed the
governor. Then it began to look as
though Montana would have to worry
along without taking any part in the
exposition that is to be held in com.
memoration of the acquisition of the
territory of which the state forms
a portion. 1t wasn't a cheerful out
look, but it seemed to be unavoidable,
unless the men who made the origi-
nal mistake were called upon to recti-
~ the error. This has now been done
and every reason exists for believ-
ing that the mistake will be corrected
properly, that a reasonable amount
will be appropriated and that instead

AS URGENT AS EVER.

Last fall the electors of the county
declared themselves as strongly in
favor of a new court house and Jail by
voting permission to the county com
missioners to float an issue OF bonds
for hat purpose. Now an effort is
making to induce them to reconsider
their decision and withhold hat per-
mission when the matter is submit
ted to them again next month. II it
was right and proper last fall to vote
for the bonds it is no less so at this
time. Even those who are attempt
ing to defeat the proposition secretly
admit the urgent need of the proposed
Improvements, but for selfish and un-
worthy purposes are openly antagoniz-
ing them. They should not be per-
mitted to succeed. and they will not,
II it were intended to make an in
crease in the tax levy there might be
some reason to the opposition on the
score that taxes are high already.
But such is not the purpose OF inten-
tion. The present levy, the lowest
in years. is ample to meet the accru-
ing interest ON the bonds, in addition
TO making it possible to provide for
a sinking fund for their ultimate re-
demption. The amount asked for is
the money will be honestly and jul
d%iciously expended. Both of the build
ings are absolutely necessary and each
succeeding day but emphasizes the
need of their erection to replace the
old ones now in use. Too much is at
stake to justify delay and the longer
building is deferred the greater will
be the eventual cost. not to say any
thing of the constant danger which
continued occupancy Of the present
structures implies.
The valuable records and instru-
ments stored in the court house should
have a proper place for their recep-
ton and guarded with every posi-
BILE care. Their destruction by fire
or theft would be productive of end
less litigation and annoyance and to
replace many of them would be an i'm
possibility. 1t is TO prevent the oc-
currence of either or both contingent
cies that the commissioners are asking
permission to build a new public build
ing. The ground for such a one has
been obtained and should be utilized.
AS Q as the new building shall be
fit for occupancy the old one can be
sold and because OF the value OF the
site it occupies a goodly sum should
be realized from it's sale, which could
be added to the amount obtained for
the bonds and used in the purchase
OF new furniture and fittings. If not
needed for that purpose it could be
transferred to the bond interest or
the redemption fund and thus made
to serve a useful end, to the conse-
quent saving of the taxpayers.
