date for county surveyor and this Is
the EIGHTH time that Mr.. IIogeland
has been a candidate for public office
in Fergus county and II elected ii will
be hisTHiRD TERM in office. This
chronic office seeker" made the race
for county clerk in 1889 and was
beaten. He ran on the Democratic
ticket for county surveyor in 1892 and
again in 1879 and was beaten. He ran
again in 1896 and was elected for two
years. In 1898, again a candidate, he
was beaten. But his Unsuitable desire
for office continued and in 1900 and
in 1902 he was a candidate for sur
veyor. The last time he was elected
by accident-and now he is for the
EIGHTH time a candidate for Office
in Fergus county and is working ev,
cry day to secure a THIRD TERM in

NEW PUMP AT LAST ARRIVED.
lona Looked for Piece Of Machinery
is Now Being Installed.

With a smile as broad as his face
will allow +. 7. Goss. the superintend-
ent of water works. announces to all
his friends that the new city pump
arrived from the east last Friday ev'
ening. Nothing has been so welcome
to the city of Lewistown for years as
this announcement. For weeks the
city has been without water and on
~ the kindness of the fates has saw
ed the buildings of the town from fire.
Jhv old pump was patched up and
petted as long as IL would work, but
there came a time when nothing more
would avail and the old timer stopped
never 10 go again. 1t was valuable
only as scrap iron. A new pump had
been ordered and was promised in a
reasonable time. Many reports were
received as TO the shipping of the ina
cnine. and all different, but at last the
pump itself arrived.
Work was begun Immediately To put
II place and Mr.. Goss says that If
everything goes well he will have it
working by Saturday evening. He is
working night and day with a force
of men and every effort Is being made
to hurry matters so that by the first
OF next week the reservoir will once
more be full.

FOR THE SETTLERS.
Statement That Dixon Acted for Cor
porations Absolutely Denied.

Mr.. Ed. Donlan, Chairman Rep. Cen
trail Com, Missoula. Mont.
Missoula, Mont, Oct. 81, 1904
Dear Sir: Replying to your inquiry
as 10 what connection | had with the
Dixon bill to validate and confirm Ii
ties TO lands in the Bitter Root val
ley, | wis hto say, that Tom Padden,
Gus Goeriz and myself obtained the
signatures TO the petition to Mr.. Dix
on. asking for such a bill.
Many settlers homes in said valley
were saved to them by the passage
of said bill. We had orchard lands
the title to which was validated and
confirmed, and from which the past
season, we have taken twenty-five car
loads Of apples. This land had been
made valuable by the expenditure OF
much labor, time and money. and I'M
der the circumstances we felt that WI
were justified in calling upon con
gGess Of the United States for relief
No one has ever accused us, who
were instrumental in obtaining said
petition, of being Anaconda Copper
Mining company men, or men who
were connected in any shape or form
with said company. Hundreds of meI
in the upper Bitter Root will testif,
TO this fact. Anyone who states thai
said bill "a in the interest of the
Anaconda Copper Mining company
alone. or was passed for the purpose
OF validating titles to timber lands II
the Bitter Root valley. or lands val
ueless for agricultural purposes, II
either ignorant of the subject, or II
willfully and deliberately telling
falsehood. Very respectfully.

men by the Russian Baltic fleet.
The first reports of the affair re-
teived in London We're regarded as
incredible. When. however. cumula.
tive evidence left no doubt of the gen
eral accuracy Of the reports, doubt
became hewilderment.
The view taken by all the morning
papers is that unless an immediate
explanation of the affair Is forthcom.
ing, II a only be taken as an act
OF wal on the part of the Russians.
The worst feature of the story, a;
viewed here, is the heartlessness dis.
played by the Russian fleet in steam
ing away without taking the trouble
to ascertain even whether their fire
had inflicted any damage and withou,
any effort 10 rescue the victims.
While admitting the necessity of a
suspension of Judgment for invcsliga
ton, the morning newspapers are nm
animous in demanding that the gov,
eminent instruct Ambassador Hard
ing TO make the strongest representa-
tons TO the st. Petersburg govern
ment, and obtain reparation and apol
ogy and assurances of the Russian Pa
cific fleets good behavior for the fu
ture.
The only possible solution of the
mystery tina, has been suggested /.
that the intention OF the Russian.
was to preclude the possibility of at
tack by japanese torpedo boats in dis
guise. The Russians are general,
supposed to have yielded TO panic. Ii
view of the decision in the Allentor
case, II Is regarded as quite impos
sible that the st. Petersburg authori
ties a be in any way responsible,
for the incident.
Considering the circumstances in tn,
case, the newspapers treat the mat
ter with commendable calmness, bu
are firm in demands for immediat
satisfaction. The Chronicle says:

settle Il one way or the other. Onl
two modes of settlement are possible
Either explanation, apology and gen
erous compensation TO the victims
families, or an ultimatum.'
