SURVEYORS QUIT A HARD JOB
Lolo Pass Work is Very Difficult in
Winter.

Commenting on the work of the
Milwaukee surveyors in Montana, and
at the Lolo Pass, the Daily, Montana,
Missoullan, reports that part of a
crew engaged in the Lolo Pass work
have abandoned the employment on
account of hardships suffered. The
Missoula paper says:
"a dispatch from Aberdeen, y. D.,
says that over 100 men have started
to work on the survey of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad at Ev
arts, from where the line is to be ex-
tended west to the Pacific coast. 1t
was stated in the report that more
men would leave within the next few
days for Evarts and that the work
will be pushed with all possible
speed.
Surveys are being made by the
Chicago. Milwaukee & St Paul all
through the west and that the pro-
posed line will go through Missoula
Is almost assured. Two parties have
been equipped from here and are to
survey through the Lolo pass through
the Clearwater country to a point
near Lewiston. Parties have been
sent out by this company from Seat
tie ans Tacoma and are to survey
east to point near Lewiston. where
the line will unite with the one being
surveyed from the Lolo pass.
THE second party that started out
from Missoula only got as far as the
divide when several Of the men would
not go any further as the trip appear
ed to be hazardous, The snow is
about waist deep and very light so
that 1t was almost impossible to
walk, even with snowshoes. 1t is
thought that the snow will become
compact within the next few days
and that the party will continue the
survey
"a. Talcott, who Is in charge Of
the party, is in the city securing more
men to fill the places OF those who
quit and will leave this morning for
the camp at Lolo springs There will
be about 80 men in the party when
they start out again and it is expected
that the survey win be run through
| to Lewiston"

In memory OF the soldiers who lost
their lives during the civil war, on
May 30, Memorial day. each year the
United States displays its flag at half

WHEN MISSOURI OFFICIALLY" PRAYED

all religious denominations held serv-

City II was the same. The news

While the people in the churches

and flew away. Before night they
were all gone. In an editorial in
the Kansas City Times the next morn

"All day yesterday the face of the

of flying locusts. Their sun-lit wings
looked like falling snow flakes and
were visible as far upward as the eye

The Kansas City Journal OF the
same day said;
Yesterday the air was thick with
them all day long along the line of
the Fort Scott road from Fort Scott
to Kansas City. They were flying
very high and in a northwesterly di-
rectiOn. They were seen here In
countless myriads all moving In the
same direction"
The Kansas City Times of June 4,
the morning after the day OF prayer,
contained a column Of dispatches
telling of the disappearance OF the
grasshoppers. Among them were the
following:
"Belton, Mo-, June 3.-From 10 a.
IN. until the present hour, $3.50 p. m,
the air at high altitude has present
ed much the appearance of snow
storm. Grasshoppers innumerable
are flying northwest"
''Chetopa, Kan, June 3.-Two miles
west. as well as here and at points
we can hear from. grasshoppers are
flying northwest, in most cases SO
high up as only to be seen by looking
towards the sun"
This was the end of the grasshop-

MODERN METHODS.
Improve Remedy That Was Away
Peerless In Its Line.


we are told that the great popu-
larity of Vinol is due to the fact that
It is really new form of time-tried
and old remedy, cod liver oil, now by
an elaborate modern process produc-
ed without OIL delicious and doubly
potent.
We wish every one could realize the
Ffact that Vinol is not a patent medi-
cine. It is simply new way of ad
ministering the curative elements of
cod liver oil
There is no one living who will dis
pute the merits of cod liver oil as a
tonic rebuilder of the human system
The trouble has been that but few
people could take cod liver oil, on ac-
count of the grease, obnoxious taste
and terrible odor.
With Vinol however everything is
changed. BY a modern method of
| chemistry you get all the medicinal
curative elements found in cod liver
oil, in highly concentrated form,
and best of all. without a particle of
grease, which has no value, either as
a food or medicine.
The reason Vinol can accomplish
so much more good than cod liver oil
or emulsions, is because 1t is so cas-
| lily assimilated, the weakest stomach
can retain it, thus it enrches ana
purifies the blood and strengthens
every organ in the body to do its
work as nature intended.
In all cases of chronic coughs,
bronchitis, severe colds, rundown
condition, loss of appetite, al derange-
ments of the stomach, etc, we guar
antee Vlnol to cure or return your
money If It fails" Brock e. McComas

LABOR FOR PANAMA.

The plan of securing a labor sup
ply from Jamaica for the Panama
Canal has met an unexpected objec-
tion from the Jamaican government.
Jamaica claims to be short of labor
ers now. Moreover the experience
i'll sending laborers to Panama TO
work for the French company was
not satisfactory. There is a large ne
gro population in Cuba, Porto Rico
and other parts of the West Indies and
on the continent of South America,
especially in Venezuela and Brazil.
This probably would be sufficient,
with what laborerS could be drawn
from the United States to supply the
demand. But, except in Jamaica. the
West Indian and South American ne
Sroes are not generally looked upon
as very good workmen. The best la
Dor for the canal would be that of
Chinese. They are hardy. patient, or
derby and thrifty. Those coming from
Southern China are accustomed TO a
hot climate. If the anti-Chinese agi-
tators in the United States can be in
duced TO put aside their prejudices
sufficiently to permit the employment
of Cinnamon. the Panama labor
problem will easily be solved An
other good source of supply would be
India. The British government OBJ
tanned laborers for Trinidad and Gu
ana by importing coolies from In
dia under conditions guaranteeing
them good treatment and the oppor-
tunity to return home at the end of a
definite period. Doubtless a similar
arrangement could be made for Pan
ama.-Buffalo ENpress.

where women are entitled to vote,

gentleman who resides in Denver was
here on visit recently when he told
US that women who think anything
of themselves-the respectable class
do not go to the pools-that If
they should go they were liable to be
insulted by the lower class of their
sex-the riffraff. The former, or the
great bulk of them, rather than take
such risks, very properly, they think,
refrain from voting. The Denver gen.
tleman said he had seen women fight
at the polls until they were nearly
naked. Pulling hair and tearing
clothing is mainly their mode of
fighting. Timid women out there very

timid men do not take much delight
in It at precincts where female toughs
are active.

That General Stoessel was leading
a forlorn hope is quite true. but not
until the other day did the circunl-
stances so shape themselves as 10
convince a brave and resourcefuI
commander Of the futility of further
resistance. The Japanese guns on
203-NTetre Hill blew the remnant of
the Russian feet into flinders, but
the Car had other ships, and General
Stoessel was bound to assume that
they were coming to his aid. The
rout of Oyama's army by Kuropatkin
was possibility of which the de-
fender of Port Arthur was bound to
take account. defeat of Admiral
Togo's war-worn ships by the fresh
squadrons of Admiral Rojestvensky
could not be regarded as chimerical
by Russian general under orders TO
hold out to the last extremity: and
such an outcome would have com
pletely changed the aspect of affairs.
The loss of their command of the sea
would have imposed on the Japanese
the necessity of precipitate retreat
and the surrender of all they had won
on land.
General Stoessel would have been
recreant If lie had capituIated while
single chance was left open of IA
vorable turn of affairs; he would
have been equally blameworthy if, all
chance of a timely relief having van
ished, he had sacrificed what re-
manned of his devoted followers in re-
sistance which had become futile By
yielding to the iron logic of events
General Stoessel proved his moral
courage to be as great as his bravery
and resourcefulness in fight. He might
lave inundated himself and his gal
liant band in the ruins of the forts

Tended, but he would not thereby
have added to his glory.-Philadel-

We admire the fight the Fairmont
West yirgfnian is putting up in be-
half of dispensary law for this
State. The West Virginian is prob
ably the first paper to have spoken
for tie proposed new law, and should
the coming Legislature pass such a
law that paper will be entitled to a
whole lot OF credit. Bro. Powell has
been very decided and very firm in
the opinion that the dispensary law
is the law that is needed.-Grafton
Sentinel
A dispensary law is better than the
present law. but it may be that a
much better law than either can be
framed. The West Virginian is
thinking more and more of the pro-
posed liquor commission as it is be-
ing discussed. In short as West vir.
ginia is in the liquor business we are
in favor of any law. no matter by
what name it may be known, that will
give the State the greater benefits
rather than the few who sell it.
