the trouble is told by the Great Falls
Tribune as follows:
For the first time since the shutdown

in this city are now idle Is the result
OF q strike called by the Mill and

not complied with by that Official, a

But two hours notice was given the
management and Immediately upon its
issuance members Of the union were
sent over the city posting printed no.
tees: reading "Strike At the Boston

At the same time picke.s were posted

less for them to report for work. BY
this method all smeltermen were in

closed down by reason of the shortage
of workmen.
This sudden action of the union was
taken following . special meeting held
Wednesday night, at which q commit.
tee was appointed TO confer with Su.
p~erintendent Wheeler and was given
authority to act in the event OF his re.
fusal to reinstate the discharged men.
1t is understood that there was q
attendance at the special meet.
ing at which this action was taken, the
number being said to be about 100. 1t
is further reported that the meeting
was nearly equally divided upon the
question and that the proposition to
leave the matter in the hands of the
committee carried by a small majority.

There finally came to the public ear
information regarding an escapade in
the county superintendent Office
which seemed to approach too near
the moral danger line. and it was
considered proper, for the reputation
OF the community, that some action be
taken. The matter was presented to
the county commissioners at their
March session. and upon inve.tiga-
ton was found to be such as would
not be tolerated in the east of a teach

The members Of the board decided
that her resignation was desirable.
and a written request to that effect
was presented to the county superin-
tendent on March s. No reply or pro-
test was made at that time. but some
six weeks later each member of the
board received a communication deny
ing the commission of any act that de-
served a worse term than indiscreet.
The writer also stated her intention to
appear before the board at its June
session. and intimated that. if unable
to offer a satisfactory explanation. she
would complyl withl the request made
by the board. The writer failed to
make appearance at the June meeting

WEDNESDAY. AUGUST s. 1906.
A STATE RAILROAD COMMISSION.

One Of the important matters tina
affect and should interest every either
of Montana is the creation Of q state
railroad commission, to act as q
board of arbitration between the com
mon carriers and those who "pay the
freight" The latter, under presen,
conditions, are helpless-so far as
transportation charges between Mon-
points are concerned.
The most important legislation en.
acted a. the recent session Of the fifty
ninth congress was the law designed
TO regulate railroad rates upon inter.
state commerce.. This law will 90 into
effect in a few weeks, but it does not
apply in any manner whatever to
transportation charges between points
ths. are in the same state. Reguia.
ton OF railroad rates in such cases
. be secured only by a state law,
which, i. is hoped, will be enacted by
the nex. legislative assembly.
There is practically no difference OF
opinion as to the necessity for creating
q railroad rate tribunal in Montana.
with power to determine wha, is fair
compens alton for services rendered by
the railroads. Ever since railroad
transportation became q factor in the
Industrial affairs of Montana, there
has been cause for complaint as to ex.
cessive freight charges and diecrima.
ton between localities and individual
shippers. During an extended public
discussion Of this subject many specific
examples OF unfair and ~exorbitant
rates have been produced, for none OF
which is there 90 effective remedy un.
der present conditions. In the absence
of q state law upon the subject, the
aCgrieved parties q only apply to
the railroads for what are called
''fsvors'' or concessions" bu, which
In reality are their "~rights."
The railroad interests have been,
and still are, opposed to public regu-
lation OF the rates that obtain in the
transportation business, n~otwithstand.
ing the fact that the railroads entered
Mon'an asunder conditions that con.
templated such regulation. As com.
mon carriers, their business 10 subject
to such public control or regulation
as may be determined by legislation
that is fair and reasonable in its pro-
visions.
1t devolves upon the people Of Mon
tara 10 protect themselves in this IT. at.
ter by sending to the state Legislature
an intelligent mem bership whose &C.
lions will be controlled by a desire to
do exact justice to all parties con.
cerned. The citizens OF Montana de-
sire . square deal for themselves, and
will not deny the RICH, OF the railroads
TO similar treatment. A fair price for
services rendered and equal terms to
Gil who do business with the railroads,
constitute the main features OF the pro.
posed reform.
10 view OF its effect upon the busi.
ness affairs Of all Montana citizens, il
Is believed the voters of each political
party IN every county will exercise
more than ordinary care in selecting
theircandida ,es for legislative honors.
Tie popular demand is for a railroad
rate regulation law OF the RICH, kind.
Such a law will undoubtedly be .e-
cured II the voters OF each political
party elect the RICH, kind OF men 20

Of about q year and a half of suffering
he grew so bad l had to tie his hands
in cloths at night to keep him from
scratching the sores and tearing the flesh.
"He got to be q mere skeleton, and

WORST STORM FOR 17o YEARS.
Damage in Pensacola Will Amount
to Three Million Dollars,

Pensacola, Fla, Sept 2S.-The
worst sea storm and hurricane that
the gulf coast has experienced since
the village of Pensacola, on San Rose
island, was swept away, 10 years ago,
began Wednesday night. 1t is report
ed that many lives between the cit;-
and the navy yard have been lost. 1t
is known that many of the houses
in that section are Under from five
to ten feet Of water, and many per-
sons have been taken from second
story windows and carried safely to
boats.
The estimated property damage is
three million dollars. Every house
in Pensacola has suffe ed damage.
and the roofs of many were blown
off. Telephone and electric light
wires are among the mass.
The water front is strewn with
wreckage for miles on either side of
the city, and vessels are piled on the
wharves, or where the wharves once
were, in utter ruin. Big iron steam
ers and many lighter sailing vessels
are lying high and dry up in the city
where the tide has never before been
known to reach. Every wharf for
miles around has been swept away
or is damaged beyond repair.

DOES HEAVY DAMAGE.
Reports From the Delta Country Tell
of Storms Work.

New ORLEANS, Sept. 29.-Damages
of $4,000 at Fort ST. Philip, located
about sixty miles below here on the
Mississippi river, were reported by
incoming steamers. A portion of the
levee erected to protect the fort
against just such tides is reported to
have broken and allowed the maga-
zines to flood. New quarters under
process of erection were also reported
swept away.
Hourly the accounts of the magni-
tude of Thursdays storm in Missis-
sippi become more serious as the in
terrupted telegraphic communication
with that state was resumed in every
direction. Town after town in the in
terror wired here that buildings had
been blown down, lives endangered
and crops blown fiat in the fields.
simultaneously there arrived an
enumeration Of an almost unbroken
line of wreckage of shipping on the
gulf coast in direction of Mobile. How
ever, all reports of this situation end
ed abruptly at a point about fifty
miles west of Mobile. In addition to the
shipping washed ashore on the main
land, first reports came in of vessels
wrecked or stranded on the chain of
islands out in the gulf which form
the Mississippi sound
