State Reserves School Section for

Z Prevented by law from giving away
any of the land reserved to it under
the terms of the enabling act, the
state of Montana could not deed with.
out compensation the school section
required for dam site for the Fort
Buford irrigation project. This did
not, however, prevent the state board
of land commissioners from meeting
the government half way. Accord
ingly last week the board withdrew
the land from public sale and tender
ed it to Uncle Sam for the minimum
price under which it may be sold,
$40 an acre:
The withdrawal was made at the in

The state has an irrigation associa-I

energetic body. It's members are anx-
ious that the people learn more about
irrigation and avail themselves OF the
opportunities held out through the
workings of the national law Last
year the association sent delegation
to the irrigation congress held at
Ogden, Utah. The delegates travelled
over the Great Northern railroad and
passed through the famous Milk river
valley in northern Montana. What
they saw there convinced them that
their people had been neglecting a.
good thing in failing to adopt, irriga-
tion on the same extensive scale as
carried on in this state.
Realizing the indifference of their
state generally to the subject, they
concluded to enlist the services OF
Montana men and through their aid
show the Flicker Tails how they have
been neglecting golden opportunities.
w. M. Woodbridge OF Hinsdale was
one of those whose assistance was
asked and he was requested to col

CALLED WITHOUT WARNING.
Final Summons Comes Suddenly to
Frederick Brandenburg.

TTSQSrICN 0rdn0SO0ucQ.
A telephone message received at
police headquarters yesterday morn
ing few minutes before Z o'clock
announced the finding OF the dead
body of man in the Northern Pacific
yards. Officer Salisbury responded and
when he arrived in front of the east.
ernmest of the row OF ice houses near
the roundhouse saw several men
gathered about the body. To his in.
Quiries they said that the deceased
was section hand in the employ OF
the company and had died moment
or two before the message had been
sent.
AT the inquest held yesterday af-
ternoon it developed that the mans
name was Frederick Brandenberg and
that he was about AZ years OF age
and native of Germany. Some OF his
fellow workmen testified that appar-
emily he had been as well as usual
Wednesday night and yesterday morn
ing, as he had not complained of be-
ing sick or feeling badly. They said
he arose about 6 o'clock yesterday
morning and left the car in which he
slept for the purpose of going to the
section house to eat his breakfast,
which was the last time he was seen
alive by any Of them, except James
Edwards, who found him as he was
dying.
Edwards said he saw a man lying
near the ice house and supposed he
was drunk. He stopped and turned
him over and asked him what the mat
ter was. The man seemed paralyzed
and unable to speak, merely opening
his eyes and looking at the man who
was addressing him. Edwards then
attempted to place him ON his feet,
but the man was unable to move and
the yard foreman was called to the
man by Edwards and the former tele.
phoned for a Doctor Before the ply
sician could arrive death had inter.
vened.
Brandenberg had been in the employ
of the company for number OF years,
part of which time he was section boss
near Forsyth. He was known as a
sober and Industrious man, reputa-
tion borne out by possessions found
on the body, which consisted of $2O1. SO,
in cash, promissory note made pay
able to him for 500 and chack for
his last months work, amounting to
$22.4O more. Besides these he had
a silver watch, q memorandum book
and card certifying that he had
paid his dues in the Railway Track
mems union.
AS far as known Brandenberg had
no relatives in this country. One OF
the witnesses, Henry Schwartz, who
seemed to have been best acquainted
with him, said the deceased had told
him of a brother who was still in Ger
many, but whose address the witness
did not know.
Doctor Lindsey, who performed an
autopsy, said that he could not dis
cover any traces of violence, and gave
it as his opinion that Brandenberg's
death was due to natural causes. The
jury returned a verdict accordingly.

TENDENCY OF THE TIMES.

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given
to the subject. 1t Is easier and better
to prevent than to cure. 1t has been
fully demonstrated that pneumonia,
one of the most dangerous diseases
that medical men have to contend
with, can be prevented by the use Of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Pneu-
monia always results from a cold or
from an attack of influenza (grip),
and 1t has been observed that this
remedy counteracts any tendency Of
these diseases toward pneumonia
This has been fully proven in many
thousands of cases in which this rem
edy has been used during the great
prevalence of colds and grip in recent
years, and can be relied upon with i'm
plicit confidence. Pneumonia often
results from slight cold when no
danger is apprehended until it is sud
denly discovered that there Is fever
and difficulty in breathing and pains
in the chest, then 1t is announced
that the patient has pneumonia. Be
on the safe side and take Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy as soon as the
cold Is contracted. 1t always cures.

WOYDT DRAWS FULL PAY
C0vePIq Can Be Chief or Can Name Him II The
New Deal Goes THROUGH.

The chief drew his salary as usual.
Captain Coverly, who is doing the
work and has the duties of chief,
drew only the salary Of captain,
which is $40. officer McPhee who
is acting captain, was only paid the
$S5 which he usually draws.
Should the plan as outlined by The
Press last Saturday go through and
the mayor be given the appointment
Of the chief Of police with the assur-
ance that his man will be confirmed
by q combined vote Of democrats and
republicans, It is believed Captain
Coverly will be named and will ac-
cept on certain conditions-if the po-
sition is taken out of politics to the
extent that if an opposing admins
tration is put in power and new
chief named he will go back to the
position Of captain vacated by him
when he was promoted. Otherwise
he will name the new chief, and it
may be some Of the men who are now

TRADES
COUNCIL
Fight to Finish Against the Master
Builders May BE Decided Upon at
the Meeting Tomorrow Night.

The meeting tomorrow night OF the
Trades Council promises to be one OF
the hottest in the history of that or
ganization. All the unions of the city
will voice their sentiments on the
troubles now brewing between the
master builders and the building trades
council At the melting it is expected
steps will be taken to organize the
unions of the city and prepare them to
make fight against the master build
ers should the latter attempt to carry
OIL the proposed plans to declare. a
lockout of all union men and install
in their non-union workmen.
SHOULD the unions of Spokane take
action in this matter as a council
there will be a warm time. The master
builders say they are sincere when they
announce they are prepared to carry
the labor war to finish. They have
gone to much trouble. Men have been
brought to the city who will be put
on the jobs as soon as the lockout
has been declared. This the union
people will not submit to, and big
strike is feared when the climax ia
reached.
For weeks past the pot has been
boiling and should the master builders
attempt to carry out their schemes
they have to make "open shop" on all
building jobs, there will be fight to
a hot finish. On the other hand an
effort will be made by conservative
leaders on both sides to bring about

new NORTH
SIDE ADDITION

A boom for the north side during the
coming spring months will be the slo-
gan of the new 1000 improvement
company in process of incorporation
in Spokane today. The new company
will be known as the Pittsburgh Land
aid Improvement company, Washing
ton corporation, with headquarters in
Spokane. This company will have
transferred to it 100 acres of land at
the end of the North Monroe street
car line, extending north to the city
limits. This land will be graded, park
ed, streets cut through it and lots put
on the market as soon as the weather
permits of work in the spring.
The men back of the new company
are DR.. c. f. Grove of Spokane, j.
w. Stearns of Pullman, Geo. M. New
myer of Pittsburg and j. w. Osborne
of Spokane.
The plans of the company are not
fully matured at this time, but it is the
intention of the promoters to put on
the market an addition which will in
every way be credit TO the city. The
Washington Water Power company,
after suitable progress has been made
will be asked to extend their lines
through this new section OF the town.
