1t Is understood that two gentlemen who
have visited about every town farm in the
state and have statistics showing the cost
of running the various farms I'm various
ways have teen invited to come here and
certainly a wise move and will have a
tendency TO modernize the old town and
pull her out OF the old ruts she has so
long been in.
From what can be learned all OF the
money appropriated at the last annual
town meeting for the current running ex-
penses has been exhausted in nearly every
department. and many of the bills against
the town will go unpaid until the annual
financial meeting is held in March and
the yearly appropriations are made Then
the unpaid bills will be paid. which will
greatly reduce the sum available for the
next year and leave the situation the
same as before.

DENIAL OF
RUSS|A'S
CHARGES

Washington, Jan. 25.--China's answer to
the American governments communiea-
tlon calling attention to Russian charges
that the Chinese were violating neutrality
was delivered to Secretary Hay at his
residence yesterday by Sir chentuns
Liang Chang. the Chinese minister. 1t
will later be sent to the president.
Until the Chinese answer has been read
by the president its text is withheld. but
the Associated Press has obtained an ap-
proved synopsis OF the contents OF ths
note, as follows:
Regarding the charge that Chinese
bandits were enlisted In the Japanese
army, the Chinese government says that
they were enlisted first by the Russians
as frontier guards and fought against the
Japanese.
Besides, the subjects of n neutral power
have the right as private citizens TO enlist
in a foreign army. No Japanese officers
are I'm China's northern army at all. Rus
slams and other foreigners are I'm educa-
tional institutions throughout the empire
and in the maritime custom houses. but
this is matter OF internal administra-
ton.
Regarding the iron ore said TO have been
furnished the Japanese army the answer
says this ore is from certain mines owned
by Chinese merchants, separate from the
government mines at Han Yang. Inter
national law does not include this article
under the head OF contraband OF war.
The Matao Islands are said TO have been
used by the Japanese as a base for their
navy. This Is denied.
Regarding the articles OF contraband
alleged to have been sent to Dalny IN
ships that have run the blockade, that
is the belligerents' lookout China Is
doing all she can To maintain IT,
Regarding the Ryeshitelni incident II
Is stated that the seizure was as un-
expected by the Chinese as by the Rus
slams. The Chinese government did every
thing IL could against such seizure.
The Chinese government considers that
Russia has violated neutrality in a num-
ber OF instances.
Bridges have been built by the Rus
SLAMS over the Liao river and Russian
troops have encamped on the west side
OF the river. which is supposed to mark
the boundary line of the neutral zone.
The captain Of the Ryeshtelni. while
going to Shanghai under military escort.
made his escape from the authorities in
whose charge he was.
The answer In conclusion says the
Chinese government has not swerved one
iota from her neutrality and the general
attitude OF her people is peaceful and has
been appreciated as such by the powers.

GREAT FALLS, July %. About
three weeks ago 80 Greek and Italian
laborers were engaged in St. Paul by
the Great Northern railroad company
to work on its tracks in Montana. The
contract price, it is alleged, was 81 80
a day. The men worked four days near
Woodville and then struck. demand
ing $40 a day. The company refused
to pay the advance.
In the hope that they would dispense,
the company brought the men to Great
Falls in two coaches. Attempts to eject
them from the cars were unavailiug
and today the police and sheriN's Of

the cars and detied the officers.

Must Dip by First of October.

According to the Great Falls Leader,
members OF the Sun River Stock AS.

cattle dipping regulations. When the
order to dip all cattle went forth last
spring. all of the cattle Of the associa.
ton were rounded up and held. pend.
ing investigation. \ deputy of the
state veterinarians Office arrived and
examined the cattle pronounced that
there was no scab among them. A
second veterinarian was sent for and
he also pronounced an absence of
scab. As 1t was o necessary under
the law to dip cattle which were not
affected, the Sun River association
stock were turned out on the range
and no further attention paid the ut.
ter until orders were received from the
board to dip them all by August l.
AS there are something over 5000
head to dip, and the cost would be
considerable, the association cited the
fact that they had been ready 10 obey
the dipping order given first, but had
not done so for the reason that Il depu.
ty veterinarian had told them there
was no scab in their herds. 4 second
letter vas received from Mr.. Preuitt in
which the time for dipping was ex-
tended until October l, at which time
he gives notice that all cattle must be
dipped or the state board will do the

Great Northern Freight Wreck.

The %wcstbound passenger train was
delayed several hours this morning
by the wrecking of a freight train at a
point just west Of the Holderbaum
ranch, about four miles east of here.
The wreck was caused by the sliding
OF the earth just as the engine of the
freight train passed over the spot, the
engine, a water car. and two box cars
being thrown from the track. The en-
CINE rolled about half way down the
steep embankment and the water car
and two box cars were smashed, the
latter being filed with liquor and
merchandise.
Ed kirwin, the head brakeman Of
the train, who was riding in the cab Of
the engine at the time of the accident,
was badly scalded on the lett leg and
foot. The engineer is reported t have
been injured, but it is not known to
what extent, while the fireman escaped
unin jured. \ wrecking train from
Great Falls reached this point about
5 O'Clock this morning and proceeded
to the scene Of the accident. The bag
gage and passengers on both the west
bound and eastbound trains were
transferred around the wreck. Had
the landslide happened when the pas
senger train was passing tina, point,
the consequences would probably have
beer more serious.
