DRIVING A WEDGE.
President Roosevelt Sends Letter Of
Appreciation to Editor Of
Labor World.
PLEASED WITH ITS POSITION
Wishes to sharply Define the Differ
sncs Between Honest Men and
Those Who Preach Anarchy
and LawIessness.

Pittsburg, May S.--John d. Pringle
editor Of the Labor World Of Pitts
burg, Wednesday night, received the
following letter from President Roose-
welt In acknowledgement of an editor.
ial recently published In his paper In
connection with the MoyerHaywood
controversy:
"The White house, Washington,
May 7.-My dear Mr.. Pringle:-Noth-
ing that has been spoken or written
that / have seen of the Meyer and
Haywood controversy has pleased me
as much as your letter and editorial.
In my letter wished to drive a
wedge in between the honest, law
abiding man-with whom feel such
hearty sympathy-and those worst
foes of the government who preach
anarchy and lawless violence; Just as
l wish to see a wedge driven between
the capitalist who Is an oppressor or
swindler and the capitalist who strives
to do right by all his fellowship
man who is an American Citizen
first and capitalist second. Above
all want to express my absolute
agreement with your final paragraph.
as follows:
1.-THE labor world has not q word to
utter regarding the guilt or innocence
Of Meyer. Haywood and Pettibone in
their present terrible position. We
hope they are innocent and will be
proved to be so. but what we want
10 point out is that their innocence of
he preferred charge against them will
not, in our estimation, exonerate them
rom the charge of preaching an in
lustrial and social policy that is
to the best interests Of the
vage-workers Of the country"
with all good wishes, believe me,
sincerely yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"

MENACED BY FLAMES.
Business Block Saved BY Efforts Of
Fire Department.

Prompt and energetic work by the
volunteer fire department saved the
greater portion of a business block
from destruction by fire early this
Friday morning. The fire fighters
were kept busy, and it was due 20
their we'll directed efforts that the
flames were confined to the group of
frame buildings in which they origi.
mated.
The alarm was sounded about one
O'Clock, when the fire was discovered
in the zeal of the Ragland building,
at the corner of Front and Bond
streets, and several members of the
fire department were on hand within q
fewjmiuutes OF the first note of warning.
The wind was blowing q gale at the
time, and the fire gained such head
way under these conditions, that it
was considered advisable to concen.
trate the efforts of the department in
an endeavor to prevent the flames
from extending to the Overland hotel,
located about thirty feet from one of
the burning buildings. Three lines of
hose poured heavy streams of water
on the blazing timbers, and the eff
forts to save the hotel and adjacent
property were succe sful. The fact
tn at the Overland building is covered
with metal sheeting proved to be q
partial protection against danger from
fire.
The property destroyed consisted of
the BARLEY saloon, the Hirshberg
building and the Ragland building,
the latter containing a large quantity
of oats and wheat that had been pur-
chased by G. c. Chambers. The lat.
ter will suffer only a partial loss. as
he secured a fire insurance policy on
the grain yesterday. A few hours
delay In taking this precaution would
have made quite a difference. The
Ragland building was also insured,
but SO far as known there was no in.
on either the BARLEY saloon
or the Hirshberg building.
The origin of the fire is a mystery.
1t is believed to have been started by
the carelessness of some intruder who
vas sleeping in the real OF the Hirsh-
berg building, but there is no evidence
to verify this suspicion. The property
loss is estimated at IS, 600, and it was
due to the efforts of the fire fighters
that it was confined to this compare
lively small amount.

A Rotten Train Service.

An experience of two weeks with the
tana Central, between Great Falls and
Havre, coz vinces residents of this To-
cality that it gives the meanest and
o unsatisfactory passenger facili-
ties ever offered to citizens of Mon
tana. If the railroad management
had deliberately proposed to make
the service as inconvenient and I'M
popular as possible. it could not have
made matters much worse than they
are.
The schedule of the so-called day.
light passenger service allows about
eight hours for the run of l2O miles
between terminals, but this liberal al
lowance is invariably exceeded. The
westbound train is the greatest of.
fender. With one or two exceptions
it's arrival at Great Falls has been
from two % ten hours later than the
official time, the passengers at vari.
Gus points being without reliable in.
form alton as to the extent of the delay
and being kept waiting at their re.
spective depots. Their discomfort is
increased by inability to secure meals
during the run of from ten to eighteen
hours.
Several passengers who have tested
the service express the belief that it is
made unpleasant and inconvenient for
the purpose of discouraging travel
and thus enable the railroad o demon.
strate to the state commission that it
is Improbable and should be aban-
doned. This view of the matter may
not be justified, but the conditions Ger.
tainly call for further action by the

A RICH MINERAL DISTRICT.
Several Properties at Zortman viii
Be Great Producers.

In describing the development work
in progress upon some of the gold
properties in the Little Rockies min.
ing district. Sam Hurvitch, in an in
terview with the Helena Record,
predicts that Zortman will be one of
the biggest gold camps in Montana.
Mr.. Hurvitch is quoted in art to this
effect:
At the Ruby Gulch, owned by Phil
lips Il Whitcomb, 100 men are EN-.
ployed and 300 ions Of ore are reated
every day. There is an unlimited
quantity of ore, and the output can be
doubled or trebled many times and
the plant kept in operation for years.
A new ore body has lately been open
ed up which runs in hundreds of
dollars a ton and will produce for
years and years to come.
Another property that has a big flu.
fure, as shown by development work
already done, is that of the Little
Rockies Exploration company, which
is employing thirty men. There is
enough ore in sight to treat 100 tons a
day for the next five years. More
than 1861 600 ions of ore are already
blocked out and development work is
proceeding. The ore on this property
runs from 81 to $3.50 a ton. The veins
on the surface have been found on the
lOO'foot level aud much richer. The
company expects TO do a great deal of
work this coming year. Among
other improvements projected is the
construction Of a 5OO.ton aerial tram
way. Two or three bridge e
are now figuring on erecting the tram
way, and it is expected work will be
started this winter.
Considerable work is being bone In
the Beaver creek country. Here Phil
lips Il Whitcomb have a large force
OF men at work developing q group of
promising looking claims and are pre-
pairing to erect a mill. 1t is under
that work will begin about
March l on the plant. An option has
been taken on a group of seventeen
claims in this district belonging to
Peter Sieh and Liebert. The ore
bodies on the group are big and the
assays run high. Old.timers consider
the outlook is a splendid one for
developing a fine gold mine.

ON TRIAL FOR MURDER,
Carl n. Gardiner Charged With Most
Oiabodical Deed.

The trial of Carl H. Gardiner on a
charge Of murder was commenced in
the district court Monday afternoon,
the selection of a jury occupying most
OF the session. On motion Of the
county attorney, Messrs. j. w. Free
man, OF Great Falls, and F. f. Srtan-
ahan were entered as assistant attor.
neys for the prosecution.
The defendant is accused of wreck.
ing a Great Northern westbound pas
senger train on the night of July 27,at
Toledo, about seven miles east OF
Havre. He is alleged to have dis
placed a switch, causing the derail.
ment of the locomotive and several
cars, the wreck resulting in the death
OF Fortuna alto Lencioni, fireman of the
derailed locomotive. Several of the
passengers suffered minor injuries
from bruises and cuts by broken
glass, and it was almost miraculous
that the casualties were not more ser.
ious.
Testimony for the prosecution was
given at the Tuesday morning session
OF the court by James Lenahan, en-
gineer of the wrecked train, and sew.
eral other railroad employees. Mr..
Lenahan stated that the train was run
ming on schedule time when it ap.
preached the switch, and as it was
about 10 O'Clock at night he did not
discover anything vas wrong until
within about 100 feet of the danger
point. He testified that he saw de.
PENDANT at the switch and that the
brakes were immediatel applied. but
1t was too late to prevent the wreck.
Testimony to a similar effect was civ.
en- by the conductor of the train and
other witnesses.
The jury selected to try the CAGE
consists OF A. j. Ross, j. G. Cronk,
Ms Petersen, j. +. Trommer, S.
Christensen, G. Lindblom, Chris
Ruhe, Casper Noble, Jos. Sterling,
