LEWIsTOWN, Oct. 12.-The first bit
OF business done by the Milwaukee
railroad as q common carrier in Mon.
tana was transacted this week over the
line extending eastward from Harlow.
ton to Lavina.
Notices were posted Thursday, stat.
ing that the company was prepared to
carry passengers and freight between
the two points, and the eastern termi.
nal will be gradually extended as the
road is completed, until it meets the
line coming in from the east to join
it.
The piece of road to Lavina ia in
firstclass shape, and the business can
be handled without in anyway inter-
fering with the construction work,
which is being pushed ahead with
great vigor.

Arresting Labor Deserters.

WINNIPEG, Oct. l2.-The Winnipeg
detective agency has received instruc-
tions to arrest some eighteen hundred
men brought west to work on the
Grand Trunk Pacific railroad, but
who have deserted their employment.
Already over 200 have been arrested
and sentenced to terms equal to their
contract, the sentences to be done
while under arrest on grading with
onractors to whom the men hired.
Some of these men had fare pay and
expenses advanced from Europe, but
a majority of them are from eastern
parts of Canada, who availed them
selves of the opportunity of a cheap
trip to western harvest fields.
March Jackson, who was sheriff of
Cavalier county. n. D., for several
years. is superintendent of the agency
aud has small army of detectives
scattered over Manitoba looking for
deserters. Although the work has
only been in progress few days, the
detectives have met with great success,
and Superintendent Jackson expects
to have a very large percentage of the
men before the end of the month.

Dixon Boosts For Roosevelt.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8. - Sen atOr
Dixon of Montana, republican, who
succeeded w. A. Clark as United
States senator on March 4 last, when
asked his opinion of the possibility of
MIR. Roosevelt's election for a second
elective term in 1908, said:
1.-THE people of Montana are for Mr..
Pccscve!t for re-e'ec.ic- ~ zoos,
whether he wants it or not. Aside
from that they are not paying much
attention to politics, being much oc.
cupied with business. Secretary Taft
has friends in the state, and Speaker
Cannon for whom l personally have
very warm regard, is we'll thought
of, but they are both second choices
when Mr.. Roosevelt is mentioned.
This third term sentiment is not con-
fined to republicans, but is so general
that if Mr.. Roosevelt should be the
candidate he would receive one.third
OF the democratic vote in the state"

Will Move Coal Shipments.

HELENA, Oct. lO.-That the Mon.
tana railroad commission has just
cause for complaint against the North.
ern Pacific railway for discrimination
in the handling of coal bound for the
western point from eastern Montana
and Wyoming coal fields is apparent
by report just submitted to the Office.
1t will be remembered that the board
sent its rate clerk, o. W. Tong, to
Billings to check the shipments being
made through that yard as we'll as at
Laurel, with a view to determining if
there had been any discrimination
against coal shipments. His inves-
tiga.iou shows that there was great
congestion of coal a. those two points.
From the report submitted to the
board today it appears that with tn

Wages Have Reached the Limit.

CHICAGO. Oct. l3.-The labor situa-
tion is causing western railroad man
agements great deal of uneasiness.
During the past week the executive
committee of general managers has
held several conferences here to dis.
cuss the situation. In various parts
of the west different labor organiza.
tion- have asked for increased wages,
and one road. at least, there is dan
ger OF a switchmens strike. The prob
lem confronting the general managers
is: What is to be done with past de-
mands and future dem ands which seem
certain to come.
AT the last session of the committee
it developed that the presidents of
nearly every western road had deter.
mined that there shall be no further
increases in wages. The unanimous
sentiment is that the limit has been
reached, and that no more increases
in pay can be granted.

president of the Helena Trades and
Labor assembly, the two org anizations
and the members thereof, and she var
ious affiliated labor unions and their
officers and members are made defend
ants in q conspiracy suit, filed in the
United States court by the Rocky
Mountain Bell Telephone company.
The action, which is perhaps the
first of its character ever filed In Mon.
tsna, is for the purpose Of securing
S75, 900 damages, which it is alleged
the plaintiff company has suffered
through the boycott methods of the
federation, its officers and members
and the affiliated labor organizations.
The papers in the suit contain practi-
cally the same charges as those made
in the bill OF complaint filed several
weeks ago and upon which Judge Hunt
issued an anti.boycott injunction.
That action, however, was suit in
equity, while this suit is to secure the
amount of damages which the com.
pany alleges it has sustained.

Northwestern Is Coming.

ST. PAUL, Oct. 1.-THE report tn at

New York Has Gold Find.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1l.-Men in the
employ of the department of bridges
have been making a series of borings
along the river front, have discovered
a vein of collaborating quartz under
the East river in the neighborhood
of Brooklyn bridge. The ore extracted
amounted to two pounds and the gold
it contained, it is estimated to be
worth $40. On this basis the vein
would run $24, 900 ton.
The tiud belongs to the city, and
further investig ations will be made to
determine whether or not the find is as
valuble as it is said to appear. In
digging under New YORK and its
adjacent waters there have been sew
eral finds of rich ore, but they have
been in small pockets and of no great
value,

Flour Prices Advanced.

NEW YORK, Oct. l3.-For the first
time within the memory of New York
ers bread will be this winter selling
for more than five cents loaf. This
was practically determined upon as a
result of another sens ational advance
in wheat, with consequent rise in
flour. The latter this winter will cost
the consumer s. barrel.
The increase in price is due to the
high rate of the American wheat crop
and coincident shortage in the Euro
pean harvest. Foreign importers have
strongly invaded the marke. of Amer
lea, and yesterday negotiated for
many thousand barrels for export.
This caused quotations to go up > 10

ANOTHER MINING BUBBLE.
Montana Men Purchased Placer
Mines That We're Sailed.

HELENA, Oct. 11.-One of the biggest
mining swindles ever perpetrated in
the northwest has just come to light.
For over q year a score OF experts
were fooled by the manipulators and
it has cost Montana and Washington
third OF million dollars.
T. L. Greenough of Missoula, the mil
lionaire mining man, and his brother,
j. B. Greenough of Spokane, have
shouldered the burden OF the little fel.
lows whom they advised TO join into
the Red Canyon placers mines, near
Lander, Wyo.
So firmly did the Greenoughs be-.
lieve in the mine that they turned
down an offer of s2,5OO,O0O for the
property, which was offered by a Chi.
cago firm after it b ad sent its experts
out. 1t was plain case Of "salting"
on the greatest scale ever heard Of
The experts dug shaft after shaft and
in each one found nuggets. It is de-
clared that the swindlers must have
used $500 worth of nuggets to salt
the placers.
Credit for the unearthing of the
swindle is given to E. w. King,
speaker of the last Montana legisla.
ture, and to Il. X. Neill of Spokane,
who conducted an independent inves.
tiuation and found the nrOperty worth.
less. They stripped the walls of the
shaft for depth of two inches and
found the values suddenly played out.
So anxious were the new owners to
get to work that they started dig
gangs of men at work at each end of
a long tunnel through a mountain,
which was to be used to divert the
waters of river to work the placers.

retary has recently given utterance to
his adherence Of Latin bosh'' in pic

This adherence is Of such a decided
nature that it has resulted in sculptors
having to rechisel the Inscriptions on

The new home for the department

In its progress as though it were de-

are inscribed "Fructus," "Cereales,"
"Forestes" and Flores"
A few days ago the head Of the de-
partment came into the office of his as
sistant and friend, DR.. B. L. Gallo
way, chief of the bureau Of plant in-
dustry, who is also deeply interested
in the plans for the new building, and
in the course of their conversation the
pcdiments We're considered. These are
in full view of DR.. Galloway's office.
In glancng at them and in looking at
the photos that had just been taken
Secretary Wilson asked:
Doctor, what do these words mean?
'Fructus' what on earth is that?"
"Why, that's the Latin for fruit. and
the others mean cereals, forests aud
flowers" replied Galloway.
"Well, why don't we say so, then,
and cut out this foolish Latino" was
the prompt reply.
Orders were then given that the
stonccutters erase the offensive words
anl substitute up to date United
States"
Or. Galloway closed the incident by
remarking that it was just as we'll to
change them, rs there was no such
Latin word as "forestes" anyway, aud
that, at least. would have to be
changed.
