Helena, Mon, Aug 2.--In the beef trust cases, now on appeal before the supreme court, Attorney General Al bert Galen filed the appellants brief yesterday with the clerk of the SUI preme court. These cases were brought by former Attorney General James Donovan against the Cudahy Packing Co and the Hammond Pack ing Go, Armour X Co and Swift x Co, charging them with having formed a combination for the purpose of con- trolling prices on packing house com modities
 The state lost the case in the lower court of Lewis and Clark county when Judge Henry c. Smith sustained the demurrer of the defendant com panies on the ground that the law is unconstitutional The brief of Attor- ney General Galen refers to the decis- ion of the supreme court of Illinois Tn which the antitrust law in that state was held unconstitutional and upon which the defendants base their case. He claims on behalf of the state that this decision will not apply to the Montana law, because of the differ ences in the constitution, that of Mon- tana containing clause which makes it mandatory on the state legislature to pass a law forbidding all corpora tioIs to enter into a combination or trust

 ing Both Arms.

Edward Burns. the 12-year-old son of Mir and Mrs Bernard Burns of No 66 Lawrence street, Hartford. jumped from third story window of his home night or two ago. while in the tolls of nightmare and lives to tell the tale with no more serious injuries than two broken arms. The distance young Burns fell is more than thirty feet, and he owes his life to the fact that he landed hands outstretched against the pavement. The boy has fear Of burglars and often wakes his parents at night by hearing strange sounds. It Is MT Burns's custom to visit his sons bedroom just before retiring to see that he is all right. The boy was probably only half awake when he heard his fathers footsteps. He jumped out of bed and before anyone could prevent him rushed to the win dow and plunged through the screen.
 Mir Burns feared that the boy had been killed. Dr Thomas A. Muicahy found that the only injuries consisted of coles fracture to each arm just above the wrist. Dr P. J. Ryan. who also attended the boy, confirmed the opinion that he will recover. They be- lieve that had not the boy extended his hands instinctively to break his fall he would have been killed instantly.

ARTIFICIAL WATERWAY.
Fiftitieth Anniversary of Sault Ste
 II Ship Canal.

Sault Ste Marie, Mich, Aug 2.-The Sault Ste Marie ship canal, the fftieth anniversary of the opening of which was celebrated today, was completed by the state of Michigan in 1855. This ship channel, the connecting link be- tween Lake Superior and the lower lakes, was transferred to the United States government in 1870. Since the government took charge of the water way vast Improvements have been un- dertaken, the canal having been widened and deepened several times. It is now considered the busiest of the worlds artificial waterways.
 In 1888 the lock erected by the state was destroyed by excavation for the present Poe lock, which is the largest in the world. It is 800 feet long and 100 feet wide with a water depth of twenty-two feet on the sills.
 The Weitzel lock. which was made necessary by the increased traffic and is still in operation, is 515 feet long. The traffic by way of the Soo canals, American and Canadian, during 1904 was 32,O0O,OO0 tons, 27,O0O,OO0 of which was through the American fdudi. uc Ol IHC SucL Saudl III 1904 was 12,00O,O00 net tons. This represented a large part of the com merce of Europe with Asia and some of that between the United States and Asia.
 The Soo canal has developed the vast mineral wealth of the Lake Su- perior region and has furnished cheap and convenient outlet for the trans portation of grain, four and other pro ducts to the east and to Europe. Ii has helped to build up great industrial centers at Detroit. Cleveland and Buff falo, has aided in making Pittsburs the greatest iron and steel center ill the world, and has contributed ma, terially toward giving the United States primacy in the production of iron. steel and copper.
 Another lock must be built in the near future and the ship canal above the locks must be widened because of the great development of the ore and grain traffic of the northwest.
