there was a great need of a modern

the Day House Is at the present time.
Lewistown Is badly in need OF a

NJ. e. Miner. Of Malta, who was

Gently for the purpose of comforting
with railroad officials upon transpor
tation matters. has returned, and In
speaking to a reporter of the Great
Falls Tribune of what was accom-
plished by the conferences last night
stated that several concessions af
fecting stock shipments were secured
the most important being the routing
of trains by shippers, which will
cause competition among the various
railroads, and probably reduce the
running time between st. Paul and
Chicago 20 hours.
Mr.. Miner also spent some time
in Chicago looking over the strike
situation, and met several members
of the leading commission firms, the
stock yards officials and packing
house people. The latter informed
him that they had experienced great
difficulty in conducting their bust.
ness owing to the unreliability of the
labor unions. In giving the result of
his observations Mr.. Miner says that
while there may be reason for com
plant about the operations of the
beef trust, there Is still more cause
for complaint against the tyranny of
the labor trust. While the present
trouble can great loss to the pack

and consumers.
Mr.. Miner thinks neither of the
parties to the present labor trouble
deserves the sympathy of the public,
but the packers have shown a dispo'
sition to meet the difficulty in a bus.
mess like manner, while the labor un'
ion breaks one agreement after an.
other, according to the caprice of hot
heads within its ranks, ar at the in
stance of fanatical leaders"
After a survey of the situation. Mr..
Miner concludes, "the packers feel
that they are suffering from an &C.
emulation of grievances at the hands
of the labor trust and have decided
to make no further concessions. They
have apparently determined to i'm.
prove the opportunity to reach a ba-
sis upon which they can carry or
business without dictation. AS many
impediments will be thrown in their
way. no amicable adjustment is likely
to be reached, and the strike may
continue all through the range ship
ping season.
Speaking of North Montana bee
shipments, Mr.. Miner suggests that
in view of existing conditions at the
markets, 1t will be unwise to ship a
large number at any n time. The
commission houses ana buyers advise
the shipping of short trains of moi
more than a dozen cars. They are
at present prepared to handle about
one-third of the cattlo that usually
arrive at this season of the year and
heavy shipments are not desirable
under present conditions. The glow
ing expectations as to prices which
were entertained two months ago will
probably be disappointed, as packers
are for the most part employing un
skilled labor and cannot use the by
products from which their profits are
usually derived.

Funeral Last Saturday.

Another old-timer of Fergus coun-
ty passed away Thursday afternoon
when j. H. Magallon died in the lodg-
ing house over the Elkhorn saloon
at 2:45 O'Clock.
Mr.. Magallon was with his son Jud-
son on the street the night before
until 1870 o'clock, when he went to
his room. He had planned to go out
to the ranch with his son in the morn
ing, and when he did not see his faith
err Jud went to the lodging house to
call him. He got there between IL
and 12 o'clock, and while trying to
find Eli Wills, who runs the house,
he heard a sound which he recognized
as the snoring Of his father. He i'm
mediately pushed open the door and
seeing his father lying In the room
on the bed he endeasored to wake
him. Mr.. Magallon vas breathing
very hard at the time and when his
son found his efforts to rouse him
were useless he ran down starts and
summoned DIR. Treacy. The doctor
arrived soon and worked hard with
the sufferer and was rewarded by see-
ing signs of returning consciousness.
He had him moved to a room where
he could get more air and after fix
ing him up as well as he could he
went down stairs and left word to call
him if he was needed. DR.. Beatty
was also called but in spite of the
efforts of the doctors they could not
save him.
The end came at 2:45 o'clock p. m.
and his son Judson was the only
member of his family present, the
others being on the ranch near Gilt
Edge. Mr.. Magallon never regained
consciousness and did not recognize
those about him. His death was
probably due to a severe attack of
heart trouble, from which he has
been a frequent sufferer of late years.
The funeral was held from Creels
undertaking parlors at 2 o'clock Sat.
urday afternoon. The services were
conducted by the Rev. w. A. Win.

and friends were present and very
