TELLS OF SUFFERING
Miss Frances Flynn Formerly of
Kenosha, Writes of Suffer
ing at San Francisco
LIVED THREE DAYS In A SHED

Miss Katherine Flynn, of Pearl
street, has received a letter from her
sister, Miss Frances Flynn, who was
living in San Francisco at the time of
the earthquake. Miss Flynn escaped
with her life, but she was forced to
endure many hardships before she
found a haven in Oakland. Miss
Flynn went to San Francisco some
time ago and had been employed at
one of the big stores in the city. She
lived with two of her companions near
the business district and when the
earthquake shock came the building
was toppled over. The young women
managed to escape alive and few
minutes after they left their rooms
the fat building was destroyed by fire
and with the destruction of the build
ing the young women lost all of their
clothing and two of them lost what
money they had saved from their
salaries. Miss Flynn in her excite
ment did not forget her pocketbook
and she was the only one of the party
that had any money.
After wandering about the streets
for the better part of day the young
women finally managed to secure a
place to rest and sleep in shed just
outside the reach of the fire. They
continued to sleep in this shed for
three days and by that time the
ferries we're running between Oak
land and San Francisco. In order to
reach the ferry they were forced to
walk a distance of twelve miles. Miss
Flynn states that she has not suffered
any illness as a result Of the hard
ships following the disaster. She
states that plans are being made for
the rebuilding .of the city and that it
is expected that the work will soon be
under way.

CITY COUNCIL
MAKES CHANGE
Will Have a Man to Devote Practi-
caily All His Time to Water
Department.
TWO POSITIONS COMBINED
Will Also Act as City CIerk-Growth
Of Business Makes Action
Necessary.

The regular monthly meeting of the
council was held last evening, Mayor
Pinkley presiding and all the alder
men responding to roll call. The most
interesting bit of business transacted
was the passage of an ordinance COM
bining the Offices of city clerk and col
lectOr Of water rates. The reason for
this action is the growth Of business
connected with the Office OF the col
lectOr of water rates, and the certain
ty that the position will be much more
important as soon as the gravity sys
tine Is installed. Some time ago City
Clerk H. l.. DeKalb, who is aslo act
ing as collector OF water rates, called
attention to this growth, and stated
that he would not be able longer to
discharge the duties of collector. II
was his suggestion that led to the in.
PRODUCTION of the ordinance last night
1t provides for the consolidation OF
the positions, and the person who
shall be appointed to I'LL the Office is
required, under the ordinance, to give
his entire time to the work. keeping
office hours from to IL in the morning
and from to in the afternoon. The
salary is fixed at $50 per month and
the appOintee must give a bond in the
sum of $1,000.
Alderman Morris Sloan, in explain.
ing the matter. said that Mr.. DeKalb
had done everything possible to keep
the work up, and had devoted a great
deal Of his time to it, but a point had
ben reached where it was necessary to
have the entire time of a competent
man devoted to the position. This, of
course, Mr.. DeKalb could not afford
to give, nor was it expected of him.
Alderman Frank E. Smith said that
the committee had given the matter
much consideration, and had reached
the conclusion that the plan proposed
was the only way out of the difficulty.
Mr.. DeKalb presented his resig.
nation as city clerk, and wished to re.
tire at once. but by request, consented
to remain until his successor should
be appointed.
Given Vote Of Thanks.
In accepting the resignation. the
| council. by unanimous vote paid Mr.
DeKalb the compliment of giving him

ROAD TAX LAWS.
Are Given Construction by Attorney
General A. J. Galen.


General A. J. Galen.
Helena. June 4.-The road tax laws
were given construction today in an
opinion by Attorney General Galen, in
response to a letter from John H. To-
Ian, county attorney Of Deer Lodge
ciunty.
Mr.. Galen holds that the act of 1903
fixes the road tax at 81 on every man
over the age of q years and under
the age of so, residing in the county.
and especially provides that this pro-
vision shall not extend to incorpor-
ated cities and towns which. by orli-
nance, provide for the collection OF a
tax not Less than l or more than 3
mills for road, city and alley purposes.
and also a special tax of $500 on each
man over the age Of q and under the
age of so in such city or town.
Section II of the act provides that
cities and towns must levy the tax of
from l to 3 mills and a per capita tax
of $500. This provision is a condition
precedent which must be complied
with by the city or town, in order TO

SAYS LEWISTOWN /
WILL HAVE ROAD
S. S. HObsOn Returns From St. Paul. Where He
Looked Into the Railway Situation. Bringingin
Steam Shovels for Work Near Stanford

S. S. Hobson returned home last
evening. after an absence of two
weeks spent chiefly in Chicago and
st. Paul. While in the latter city, Mr..
HobsOn looked into the railway situ-
alton as closely as he could, and he
comes back with the absolute assur-
ance that the Great Northern will
build branch from it's main line TO
LewistOwn. 1t will be some time before
anything at all is done in connection
with the matter. as the company is
just now concentrating it's efforts on
the main line work
To Use Steam Shovels.
The heaviest work on the Great
Falls Billings line is in the vicinity of
Stanford and the contractors are
bringing in three steam shovels, one
of which weighs IS t0s, to be used
there. In order to get these immense
pieces of machinery out to the field
of operations, it will be necessary to
build a railroad from Moore to Stan
ford. OF course the road will be has.
tily constructed and crude affair,
but it shows what the contractors
have to encounter.
Will Take Much Time.
MIR. HObsOn gathers that with the
vast amount Of heavy work to be done,
1t will be a year from September or
October before either OF the new
roads is completed. With all the aids
that modern machinery can give, the
construction Of transcontinental line
is still an undertaking Of great magni-
tude. and there are some portions of
the work that it is impossible to rush.
Country Looks Fine.
AS result of the recent big storm,
Mr.. Hobson finds this section Of the
state looking about as well as it ever
did at this time of the year. This is
especially true Of the northern part,
where the low lands are simply flooded
with water. The ranchers and stock
growers are taking a rosy view of the
situation, and in Fergus county, it
would be difficult to improve the con-
ditions. .s
