NO EQUIVOCATION.

Congressman Joseph NJ. Dixon, in
a letter to Secretary Boynton of the
Helena Business Mems association ex-
pressing his interest in the meeting
held at the capital yesterday to secure
better railroad rates for Montana,
the matter from national point of
view.
Mr.. Dixon is quite fulsome in his
praise of the presidents message and
particularly on this all absorbing ques-
ton, which he presented in such a
fair and mastery manner. Our con-
gresham reflects the views of the
great majority in the lower house and
the sentiment that has been gaining
ground in both houses since the mes
sage was read A part or Mr.. Dixon s
letter is as follows:
st gives me pleasure to assure you
that | shall support the presidents
recommendation in this matter, I'M
equivocally. His message, watch was
read in the house this afternoon, was
masterpiece and unanswerable. The
house will undoubtedly pass a bill
similar to the Esch- Townsend bill that
was passed one year ago early in the
session. | believe it to be the most
important and farreachng legisla-
ton with which congress has dealt
since the reconstruction act forty
years ago. From all the information
can gather here, it is my belief that
the house bill will pass the senate
also
There is no suesswork about where
Mr.. Dixon stands when it comes to
legislation that vitality affects his own
state and the people who have con
ferred high honors upon him. A peo-
pie who admire the candor and sin
cerity of President Roosevelt cannot
help but accord Mr.. Dixon the full
measure of praise for the straight
forward manner in which he declares
his position.

is A STOckMAN PASSENGER.

A case is before the courts down in
Kansas, the final decision of which
would be of interest to stocllmen in
Montana, respecting the liability of
railroad companies in case of injur
les sustained by those travelling on
trains for the purpose of looking af
ter stock.
The suit in point is one filed July /,
1905, by Moses c. Harvey, against the
Missouri Pacific railway for $4,000
for personal injuries sustained on No
vember 10, 1905. On that date the
plaintiff was riding on cattle train
from Usher, Wyandotte county, to
Kansas City, Mo. when the engine
and some of the cars ran off the
track Harvey received several in
juries.
Now the railway, through its attor-
neys, has filed an answer to the petit
ton denying each and every allega-
ton except the following: That the
railway undertook to transport two
cars of stock for Harvey from Usher
to Kansas City Mo, it admits that he
accompanied the stock on the train,
but did not pay any consideration for
his transportation, but was on the
train under the terms and conditions
of the contract and not otherwise
The answer further states that tne
train on which Harvey was riding was
stock train, not constructed with
the conveniences of passenger train
or for the purpose of carrying passen
gers, and that the permission of the
defendant that the plaintiff might
ride thereon was without considera
ton, but a mere accommodation tC
the plaintiff, and he awaited nimse.
OF such license and permission will
full knowledge of all the facts, ant
by said contract of free transporta
ton, expressly assumed all of thu
risks and inconvenience inciden
thereto, and the injury to the plaintiff
was the result of mere accident un
ant, and which could not have beel
foreseen or guarded against.
1t would seem that if the complain
ant took the risk knowing all of tn
conditions, that it should absolve tn
railroad from all responsibility in cas-
of accident, but the courts, or a jury
may bold differently.

The people of Boston are up in arms
and have entered vigorous protest
against the decision of Secretary of
the Navy Bonaparte that the old fri
gate Constitution be destroyed. The
secretary says the Constitution lies
keel deep in mud in the Charleston
navy yard near Boston and mas been
SO reconstructed that there is very
little left of the original vessel. There
is also little expense attached to
keeping the vessel afloat, which is
one reason the secretary gives for
having it destroyed. Perhaps the
best thing congress can do is to turn
the Constitution over to the state of
Massachusetts, whose people would
take pride in it's keeping and protec-
ton. For once, at least, the beam
eaters have the sentiment of the coun-
try with them.

There mas evidently been senti-
ment crystalizing among the educa-
tiona1 institutions of the country
against football as a college sport. At
a conference of thirteen colleges and
universities held in New York recent
ly.it was decided that the game should
rot be abolished, but should be re-
formed, the vote standing 15 to 8.
Possibly the quickest way to bring
about modification Of the game was
q threat to abolish it altogether. It
is only the brutal part of football that
should be barred from college grounds.

The holiday shopping season is now

as they not only avoid the crowd of

therefore, the early buyer catches the

Bozeman is another city that rejoic-
es in the prospect of getting the Chi
cago & Milwaukee road In recent
issue the Republican, Courier maps out
how the road could get through
the first spur of the Rocky mountains,
IN the following: ''ln reality, the road
should make for upper Clark's fork
so as to tap the prospectiyely rich
mines of the New World district at
Cooke City, and the Immediately sur
rounding country; thence down Soda
Butte creek TO the East Fork of Vel
luwstone river: thence down the Vel
lowstone to F'ridley of Brisbin; thence
ever the Trail creek divide and so on
Gown to the Gallatin valley. But that
natural and almost direct route would
involve the right of way through cor
ner of the Yellowstone park which the
company would find great difficulty,
perhaps, in securing. But it has been
oontended for years that the Trai'
creek pass is the most feasible for
railroad yet found through the Bel
range of mountains; that, in reality
it is several hundred feet lower thar
the BoZeman pass, and that the ap
proaches to it from both east an
west are less abrupt than those lead
ing to the Bozeman pass"

The Inter Mountain says it remain
cd for Boston trade paper to extend
the Milwaukee railway route from Ev-
arts to Seattle without ever touching

have to take a circuitous route and
leave out some of the best tributary
country between the Missouri river
and the coast. AS the Milwaukee's
aim is to build up the intervening
country and secure business the Bos-
ton publication cannot be taken SER
iously. Possibly it has very limit
mage it could give the Milwaukee road

The new battleship Idaho, built by
the Cramps, was launched at Philadel-
phia on the 9tn inst. The Idaho is a
sister ship of the Mississippi, which
was launched a short time since. Her
keel was laid in 1904 The Idaho has
displacement of 1900 tons and will
be of 10000 horse power. 1t is ex-
pected to have a speed of II knots.
The estimated cost of the battleship is
$2,995,500. It's main battery will con-
tain four Pinch breechlOading riff
les, eight S-inch and eight Finch
breechloading rifles. The secondary
battery will include - 3-inch rapid
fire guns, six 3pounder rapid fire guns,
four 1-pounder rapid fire guns, two 8.
inch field guns and eight machine
guns. While formidable navy is
one of the best guarantees of peace
with the outside world and while the
United States should have one equal
to any emergency, most Americans
will sincerely hope that the Idaho will
never fire gun except at target prac-
tice nor leave a home port except on
