An average reader might see little
to this description Of mining sac

struck it lucky. The reader wouldn't
know that when he said he needed

less, suffering excruciating agony
from inflammatory rheumatism
brought about by privations and ex-
posures in his almost super human
burrowing after the yellow metal that
has brought him his simple content of
mind, although he is still racked Ia
body. After Tommy had accepted the
offers Of the promoters in his remote
cabin home, they carried him on a
litter made Of the limbs of trees to
the stage station where he was put
in as comfortable a position as possi-
Bile and sent to Harlem from which
point he took the cars for Boulder
hot springs. He did not set foot on
ground for three months, and he is
still ''petsering along" as he calls
his present mode of progress, with
the aid of a cane.

TELLS OF STATE BOARD OF HEALTH

DR.. T. D. Tuttle, secretary Of the
state board of health has issued a
statement for publication in several
state papers recently, which is too
lengthy for reproduction In the
Herald. However, there are some
points in his statement that we re-
produce. The doctor takss The py-
sition that Montana does not place a
| high enough estimate of human LIE
as compared to the expenditures for
protection of live stock, game, fish,
etc. He shows up the board of health
to be helpless to enforce the laws and

honor. In part he says:

ficer it must be remembered that the
honor of such an office is an empty
one. Who ever called a physician to
attend his family because he was the
health officer? To perform the du-
ties of health officer under an eff
cient health law in a large city will
rec cLi.e all the time of any man. If
the physician is not successful he
is not capable of filling the office of
health officer, therefore the earning
capacity of a uccesssful phyician
must be considered in determining the
salary of a health officer. To assume
the duties of such an office the ply
s.cian must give up his practice
and at the end of four years he must
beginover again, as other physicians
will have acquired the practice he
had before assuming the duties of

GROWERS TURN CATTLE
BACK ON THE RANGES

A dispatch from LeWistown, dated
Saturday, says: After waiting for
some weeks to get cars, Fergus stock
growers today turned the cattle they
have been holding for shipment back
to the ranges, and will wait until next
season, when it is promised that the
Milwaukee and Burlington will be
able to handle stock shipments out of
the Musselshell country, and prob
ably out of the Judith basin itself
This will effect a considerable saving
for the shippers, as at present it
takes, On an average, nine days TO
get stock shipped from this immediate
vicinity TO Chicago. Nine days on the
road is a heavy loss in shrinkage and
expenses incidental to the trip, so
that the stockmen will probably gain
by the delay, providing that the rang

The home was most elabo. ately de-

of the prettiest ever conducted in the
city.
Just few minutes before the hour
of 8, Miss Elizabeth Downing, sister

after which the Lohengrin welding
march was played by Miss Josephine
Conrad and to the strains of this, the
bride, upon the arm of her father,
and accompanied by her maid of hon.

groom and by his best man, Mr.. w.

wore veil with a spray of orange
blossoms and carried an arm bou-
quet of brides roses. Her only or

of the groom.
Miss Cooper, the maid of honor,
wore a beautiful gown of white chif-

RUMORED REDUCTION

Great Northern has decided TO make

Of the reduction, but the Chicago DIS

detail as to make the story extremely

tariff has already been announced at
that place and in ST. Paul. According

A recent dispatch sent Gu. ON

alton service, has returned from an
extended inspection trip throu. hout
the west. He made a thorough eE~
animation of construction Wo.k in
! Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon,
California. Arizona and New u xi.G.
He is greatly pleased with the plo-
gress being made, and to Standa Il
representative today he said:
In general the work Is progres-
sing faVorably and constru -tion has
reached n point where results csn
| be seen. The chief drawba TX at the
present time is the Ill ficulty in secur-
ing competent laborers. Men WHO can

than a few days or weeks at any ole
point They travel flom job to job.

then leaye for the next place. TIE
large amount of railroad construction,
as well as the number of contra IS
under way with the reclamation serv-
ice, make it possible for abore:s s
to strike new job wherever they
stop.
"A contractor having on an aver
age of 1000 men at work will have
on his payroll for the month from
1000 to 1000 names. There is
small army of laborers tramping ba
wards and forwards along each rail-
road line, the greater part at present
being headed, of course, for Gallo. mia
and the southwest in general.
"The difficulty in obtaining and
holding good labor and the increa 9
in the cost of materials have resulted
in putting out Of business a number
Of smaller contractors and sub-con-
tractors, especially those WHO took
their contracts six months or year
ago. The outlook for the future is
also so uncertain that 1t Is extreme
J ly difficult for contractors to bid
with any degree OF confidence, and
hence there are very few proffers Of
future work. The condition holds not
only for the reclamation service, but
also for the railroads. On one exten-
sion four different contractors in su!-
cession have thrown up the wo K
during period of six months.
THE largest work of the reclama-
tion service now on hand is the Roose
welt dam in Arizona, the foundation
Of which Is now in and Is approaching
the river level. If the floods in the
Salt river do not occur for a mon h
or two, the foundations, which cover
about an acre in extent, will be above

THE PUGILlSTS
THE CAUSE OF
 THEIR DOWNFALL
Theatrical Graft Has Put an End to Many a Glorious Nit
 Artist.

Will Sam Berger go the way of all fighters now that he has begun a the atrical career?
 It is pointed out that Young Cor |. bett's downfall as pugilist dated ! after the beginning of his theatrical career. Terry McGovern. the wise ones say, was whipped by Corbett the first time because he allowed theatri- ca engagements to interfere with his training stunts. George Dixon began to go the pace after he heard the band play out in front.
 Little Tommy Feltz had his head turned toward chorus girls after an engagement with a burlesque com pany that dated over the better part of one season. Gus Gardner was fighting at rate which made him look like champion until his man ager unwisely put him on the road with a show, then Gus broke up the combination by eloping with the lead ing lady and training was a thing of the past.
 Fitzsimmons has sunk fortune on the stage. besides playing with fate by late hours and pretty bubbles. John L. Sullivan was on the road when the match with Jim Corbett was made. and he was so highly pleased with what he thought would be his prize lemon that he told stories of 1t in an alleged monologue. Harry Forbes was knocked out by Neil shortly after his theatrical career Istarted. Benny Yanger was never khe same Tipton Slasher at the ter Snination of his engagement at the frocadero theater in Chicago.
 Kid Broad was a star until he slipped at the glories of the stage ca reer. Tom Sharkey developed into terrible spendthrift CD after he began giving exhibitions in pretty pink tights for the benefit of those out in front. Marvin Hart met de- feat at the hands of Tommy Burns a few weeks after finishing an en- gagement-his first and last-in a Chicago playhouse.
 These men and their ring history go to prove that the two professions do not mix.

He deserves to win, for he is grand little fighter and always out after the money"
