THE CARNEGIE
LIBRARYPLAN
WHAT is PROPOSED WITH RE-
GARD TO RAISING MONEY
FOR A SITE.

Is Lewistown going to have that
Carnegie library? If so, is work to
begin on the building this year or
next? These are the two questions
that the library trustees are asking
themselves, and while they cannot
give the answers, they propose that
the matter shall be settled without
further delay.
When Mr.. Carnegie, in response to
the. requests made by Hon. Frank E.
Smith, in behalf of the city, some
months ago, announced that he was
ready to give $4,000 for the cOnstruc-
tion of library building in this city,
it was on condition that the city
should provide suitable site and
make provision for the maintenance
of the library. The latter provision
was already complied with, and when
the trustees took up the matter of
securing site, two centrally located
lots, the best to be obtained for the
purpose, were offered by T. G. Pow.
er for $4,000, which is considered a
fair and reasonable valuation. Mr..
Power offered to donate 500 of the
purchase price, while Mrs. Erickson,
offered further contribution of $3.50.
This left $3.50 to be raised, and it
was thought the amount could be soon
secured.
What Frank e. Smith Says.
Alderman Frank e. Smith, for a
long time chairman Of the board of
library trustees, and to whose efforts
the offer from Mr.. Carnegie is chief.
ly due, discussed the situation with
the Argus this morning.
I'VE propose to start out in a few
days and see just what can be done
in this NATTER" said Mr.. Smith. I'VE
are going to give the people another
chance to say whether or not they want
the library. Mr.. Carnegie gives us
$4,000, every dollar of which is to
go into the building. All of that mon.
ey will be spent right here for labor
and material, and the library will be
a lasting benefit to the community.
We have at present in the library fund
about $1,7O0, which has been raised by
taxation for library purposes. Prob
ably the city council would consent
to the use of small part of this fund
for the purchase of the site, which
would help out to some extent. 1t
will be necessary to have on hand a
fund for the purpose of furnishing the
library and for purchasing books, and
to meet the current expenses as we'll
The trustees do not feel, therefore,
that they can devote any considerable
part of this fund to the purchase OF
the site.
'It is a question whether or not
the money for the purchase of the site
can be raised by taxation, but even
| if it can, the money would not then
| be available until December next. and
this would throw work on the build
| ing over to next year. The offer ol
Mr.. Carnegie may not hold good thai
long, and we have decided in any
event to try the subscription plan once
more. When we went out before, the
business men, when approached on the
subject. demurred. and said the none!

shown how that would delay the whole
matter for year. and perhaps. will

URGING CAR
TO FIGHT ON
War Party in Russia, Backed Up by
the Military Element, is Making
Final Effort.
SAY LiNEVITCH CAN WIN
Japs Are Driving in the Russian
Screens in Manchuria-TaIk Of
Peace Terms.

st. Petersburg, June 2O.-The war
party has by no means surrendered.
On the contrary, backed by the mill
tary element, it is making concerted
effort to dissuade the emperor from
concluding peace.
Even with the two armies already
clinching, members of the war party
are filling st. Petersburg and Peterhof
with optimistic views, and Lieutenant
General Linevitch and his lieutenants
are reinforcing their arguments with
roseate reports Of the strategic sit
uatiOn.
Many Russian correspondents at the
front, evidently inspired from st. Pet.
ersburg, are flooding their papers
with dispatches in the same strain.
The Novoe Vremya's correspondent,
in his conclusion against a humiliat.
ing peace, points to the hazards for
the government in disbanding an army
of half million men without giving
them taste of success, and express
es fear of dangerous consequences.
The same correspondent, however,
chronicles the fact that the rank and
file are Indifferent and concludes:
"If peace can be obtained without
the cession of Russian territory or
blood money, then peace by all means"
1t is pointed out here that if Japan
intends to send Marquis Ito and 9th
ers from Japan to Washington the
meeting cannot occur within a month.
In the mean time, so far as indicated
here, there have been no moves in
the direction of suspension of hos
tilities. No confirmation has been re.
ceived here of the report that negO-
tiations for an armistice had been be-
gun between Oyama and Linevitch.
On the contrary, the latest news from
the front leaves little doubt that Oya-
mas columns are in motion and dis
quieting rumors are current here re-
garding the position or the Russian
army, according to whether Oyama
will succeed in pushing both his TANKS
far forward respectively opposite
Kwangchengsu and Kirin, whence he
can draw a moose around the troops
! below this line.

Stockholm. Sweden, June licking
Oscar. in long and vigorously word

that his position as Norway's king

over in silence the preferment of the
Norwegian council of state on the oc-

that he did not overstep his preroga-

that consideration for the union i'm

After lengthily repudiating the dec

his veto was unconstitutional because
no member of the council regarded

Following is the text of the emper-
ors speech to the zemstvo delegation:
Il am happy to have heard you. l
have no doubt you are guided by an
ardent sentiment of love for the faith
erland in addressing me directly.
Il have been grieved in my whole
soul, with all my people, at the calam-
tiles which the war has brought upon
Russia and at all those which may
still be feared, as we'll as our inter-
nal disturbances.
"Dissipate your doubts. My will Is
sovereign, and it is my unalterable
will that the admission of elected rep
resentatives to the works of state
shall be regularly accomplished.
81 watch daily and devote myself to
this work. You may announce that

town.
Il am firmly convinced that Russia
will emerge strengthened from the
trials she is now enduring, and that
there will be established soon, as
formerly, a union between the emper.
or and all Russia, a communion be-
tween myself and the men of Russian
soil This union and communion must
serve as a basis for the original prin-
ciples of Russia.
Il have faith in your desire to help
me in this task"

was organized with capital of $780,
600, and the corporation took over the
ranch and arranged to explore it thor
oughly with diamond drills. This work
has been prosecuted under the direc-
tion of F. s. Weidenborner, Of st.
Paul, president of the company, and
has resulted in the locating of large
and very rich body of cyanide ore.
Parties who are in position to know
the real conditions disclosed are agreed
on this, although there are, Of course,
many wild rumors which cannot possi-
bly, all be true, because they conflict.
Ore Is Struck.
Three drills were put in operation,
and ore was first struck at depth
of about $50 feet, but, it was not of
although most encouraging. AS the
drills went down deeper and deeper,
the ore improved, and at depth of
$50 feet, the ore body that has made
such stir at the camp, was encoun-
tered. It shows average values Of
about $22, and is of great extent. This
body, like the other Kendall veins, is
Of the blanket form. and is, according
to the best authority, about 110 feet
thick.
Means a Big Mill.
The discovery means that within a
comparatively short time a mill with
capacity sufficient to handle the ore
will soon be built on the ground. Be-
fore anything is done IN that line,
however, the company will, of course,
have to open up the ground by means
Of shaft, and it is understood that
plans to that end have already been
practically worked out. The owners
have a fairly good water supply, and
the operations will be pushed ahead as
rapidly as possible.
l. In the excitement over this find,
the oil discovery recently made on
this same property has been almost
forgotten and it is certain that at
least one good offer has been made
for the Queen company's holdings.
The amount rendered for the ground
is variously stated at from $240, 0,O0O
to $26O,000, but a quarter of mil.
lion is believed to be the correct figure
The owners have so far shown no dis
position to part with their prospective
bonanza, and everybody at Kendall re-
joices in their good fortune. because
it is a big thing for the camp.
That another dividend payer will
soon be added to Kendall's string IL
looked upon as certain and mean
time, the North Moccasin company IL
going right ahead with it's diamond
drill work, with almost a certainty
of soon running into another ore body
that will justify it in opening up the
ground and letting out the gold. TAX
en- altogether, Kendalls prospects ap
pear to be very bright indeed.
Queen company's Annual Report.
The annual report of the Queen
company was filed today with the
county clerk and recorder. It shows
that the principal place Of business
is at Kendall; that it owns mining
claims and real estate believed to be
worth 100000, for which sum it IL
capitalized, and which constitute its
assets. The company has no liabili
ties except it's current expenses, ant
has $4,5OO in cash on hand. w. 8

Japan's Terms Of Peace.

st. Petersburg, June 20.-Japan's
terms of peace. according to an inter-
view had by a correspondent Of the
NovOe Vremya with a member of the
Japanese embassy at Vienna with q
member of the japanese embassy at
Vienna, will prove to be more mod
crate than had been expected, and
will be based on the propositions made
in the japanese note on the eve Of
hostilities, with the addition of an in
demnity covering the cost of the war.
Japan will not insist on humiliating
terms such as the cession of the is-
land of Sakhalin. the disarmament of
Vladivostok, or the Limitation of Rus
sia's naval rights in the Pacific, but
will insist on guarantees against re-
newal of the war for half century
at least.
