AUSTIN WARR RESIGNS.
Popular Assistant Cashier of Bank
OF Ferrous County Rptirps

Inc announcement was made by the
sank OF Fergus County of the resig-
nation or Assistant Cashier Austin w.
war; VINO has been connected with
tnat financial institution for nearly
hiteeh years, ten years of that time
having been spent in the responsible
position which he held at the time of
his retirement
During the last few years. the priv.
ate business of Mr.. War; has become
so extensive that it has required
much of his time. He felt that he
ought to give yet more time to his 9TH
er enterprises but his duties in the
pank prevented this and he decided to
retire from that institution. The bank
offlcials tried to induce him to aban-
don the idea of severing his connection
with the Bank of Fergus County, but
IN August last, he placed his resigna-
ton in the hands of President S. S.
HobSon TO take effect the first Of the
present year. He is still connected
with the bank in the capacity of
stockholder and director, however.
Mr. War; is, as yet undecided as to
MS future location. lit is understood
that he has some splendid offers from
financial institutions both in and out
OF this state, but he is strongly inclin-
ed TO remain here and devote his en-
tire attention to his personal business.
he is president of the LeWistoWn Tel
ephone company and that enterprise
alone calls for great deal of his time
He is also largely interested in the
montana Lumber company, the Mon
tana Hardware company ana tha
Moore Elevator company.
Austin W. War; has always been
recognized as one of the most pro-
gressive and clearest sighted young
business men not only OF Fergus coun-
ty but of Montana. Socially, he is a
good fellow and it is to be hoped that
he and his interesting family will de-
eide to remain in this city.

New York, Jan. 2.-Responsible au-
thorities assert that the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul has recently added
to its payroll the name of a prominent
steamship agent, formerly in the en-
ploy of the Mallory line, and has sent
this agent to Liverpool to purchase,
euip and ready for service, five ships
of minimum capacity of 5000 TONS
for use on the Pacific ocean The Mil
Waukee officials refuse to confirm the
report.
The Milwaukee will spend over $4,-
100000 in getting it's initial fleet on the
Pacific ocean. The company has had
agents in the Orient for two years and
has already made arrangements for
the establishment Of docks at Yoko-
hama and Shanghai. The general re-
port is to the effect that the main
docks of the system on this side of the
ocean are to be at Tacoma, though
this is likely to be modified according
to the advantages that may or may
not be gained from the Seattle city
council. The Tacoma authorities seem
to be willing to grant almost anything
asked for.
The officials report that the Seattle
council is well disposed, but is ham,
pered by the longtime allegience to
the Hill lines, to which the city owes
great deal in the way of develop
ment. The Milwaukee people say that
the Hill lines are finding it all they
can do to fill their big ships, and that
the Seattle authorities have been po-
Htely but firmly asked to do nothing
to interfere with the handling of traf-
fic to those ships. The Hill lines are
losing money on the Dakota and Min
nesota. They fill them, but they have
to do it at rates that do not net any
profit-at least until the company can
handle its big ships much more cheap
ly than they can be handled now
These, however. are minor difficult
ties. The real engineering plans of
the Milwaukee and the determination
of it's routes have been delayed about
SIX weeks through the detection of Mr..
Darling, who deserted the ship when
it was barely out of the harbor. Sever
al contractors who We're looking at
jobs along the way have asked for an
explanation of his sudden departure,
figuring that he would not have left
so suddenly, even for $4,000 a year.
unless he had decided that the job
was much bigger than he thought Mr..
Darling, however. states that business
conditions prompted the change, and
that he does not in the slightest de-
gree prejudice the work on the Mil
waukee railway.
A close digest of the Milwaukee
route will be put out this coming
week, and will furnish surprise or
two There is fight on inside about
the route west of Butte. The original
idea of a route down toward the Idaho
bad lands, and along the fringe of the
so-called lava district has been ques-
toned, in favor of a more northerly
route lying through better local terri
tory

city and Billings will be begun at Bill
lings few days after the end of this
month. The firm of Guthrie & Co.,
which has been building a line for the
burlington in Wyoming, and which
has been directed to build the line be-
tween Billings and Great Falls, will
complete it's work in Wyoming before
the end of the month. and a letter
from Mr.. Folliott, manager for the
firm. states that he will then have his
equipment at once moved to Billings,
where he will begin work on the line
to Great Falls.
About 80 miles out of Billings, the
old Burlington survey will be follow
ed, with the exception of a stretch of
about nine miles, and as all the data
OF the old survey are available, the
construction can be commenced as
soon as the builders can get away
from their work in Wyoming From
Arlington to a point about so miles
distant from Billings, new surveys will
be followed. These are now being
made as rapidly as possible, every
man who can be secured being en-
plOyed, and more men will be placed
in the field in a few days. Several
men who have been employed in the
state by the geological survey or the
reclamation service have been releas-
ed for the winter and they will be en-
ployed by the Great Northern.
The surveys are progressing at such
a rate that construction may be COM
menced at the Arlington end Of the
line early in the spring, but before
work is begun at Arlington many
miles out of Billings will have been
graded. About 700 men will be en-
ployed in the construction Of the line.
If that number can be secured 1t is
the purpose of the railway company
to rush the construction as rapidly as
possible.

FIRE INSURANCE
RATES UNCHANGED
COMPANIES AGREE NOT TO RAISE.
RATES AT PRESENT IN WEST
VIRGINIA.

CLARKsBURG, Sept. 13.-Fire In
surance rates will not be raisedI That
matter was decided upon at the all.
day meeting held here Tuesday in the
Waldo by the executive committee Of
the West Virginia Fhc Underwriters
Association and other insurance rep,
resentatives.
A majority of the 11O FIRE instr,
ance companies operating i'm this
country was represented at the meet.
ing. 1t was called for the purpose Of
enforcing the advance in rates as
p!-: on August 1. mt. when t:,& con.
fo:eRce began, Il eas soon ascertain
ed by exchanges OF views that mo.
jortty Of the c0mnitieo ami companies
were opposed to such enforcement
and 1t was finally ugreed that there
would be no adv Islce made or enforc-
ed. This applies no, only to. cIarks,
burg but also 10 the entire State Of
West Virginia.
In July a movement was inaugural.
ed to raise the rates ON improbable
risks and along this line it was decid.
ed to raise the rates 20 per cent. on
congested and IS per cent. on special
properties of the unrrofitable class.
But the action of the conference here
reYokes that order.
A prominent insurance agent lls-
cussing the matter states that the
annual expense is 80 per celt. and
that the profits as reported py some
newspapers are greatly exaggerated.
In fact, where one paper claims they
were $1,0OO.0OO for the year atliey
were actually only $ST5,0OO. Tile com.
panles had to plank down $225.OOO..
600 in cash on account of the San
Francisco fire and the stockholders
had paid in millions af dollars to keep
the companies solvent In the case
of English companies the money to
pay losses was all brought from Lon.
don and their American assets have
remained undisturbed. Under the cir.
cumstances many criticisms may be
rather harsh, considering the real
conditions, which are not generally
known by the public.
While the local agents were invited
to meet the committee and other rep,
resentatives, yet there was no Joint
action, and what was done regarding
the rate 9atter was Independent Of
the local agents, in fact. confined ex.
clusively to the committee aud 9TH
er visitors.
However, the committee conferred
with the local agents relative to some
minor matters, and went to Parkers'
burg last night for the latter purpose
