RUM0RED THAT THE tiARRI NAN
LINE HAS STOLEN A MARCH
ON JIM HILL.

The Milwaukee road has stolen
march on the Great Northern and gob-
bicd up til. gOu.ro, Of the Butte, Ana
conda " Pacific read, according to the
Latest rumor. 1t is stated that 81 per
cent of the Butte, Anaconda & Pacific
road was owned by the DAILY estate and
40 per cent ~ the Great Northern.
The two roads have worked in COM
plete harmony for years. It is now
said that Hartman interests have
bought up the Daily stock and are in
control of the road. The Butte, Aua-
conda & Pacific, through its mine
trackage and connection with the
smeiters in Anaconda is one of the
most important roads for its mileage
in the United States says the Mis-
souliau.
The Milwaukee interests aud those
of the Ainalgamated Copper company
are said to DC IN complete harmony.
Should the Milwaukee, decide to run a
line to Great Falls its control OF the

that HUI is completely stripped OF his
most Important source of revenue in
the state, the carrying of ore TO Great
Falls and of copper to the east.
For several years an electric line to
Anaconda by way OF Gregson Springs
has been discussed among Butte inter-
ests, but no definite steps were taken
to put it through,
Now, however, an electric line is said
to be among the probabilities of the
immediate future. The hacker is
James Breen who owns large inter-
est in the Greg son Springs establish
ment and who will be assisted in his
venture, it is sad, by Butte and Spo-
kane capital.
With the building of the Breen line
it is within the realms Of probability
that the Butte street electric road may
also build TO Anaconda Dy way of

There is a possibility that Missoula

Nebraska friends. An invitation has
already been extended him uy old
friends to do this and it is confidently
expected that if he can see his way
clear to do SO, that he Will accept the
invitation. In this event it is likely
that the Golden Rod club, recently
organized by former Neb1 askans, will
see to it that Mr.. Brysu is properly
entertained the few hours hat he may
be M,ssoula's S guest. In fact they pro
pose holding an informal reception for

 Corey's Marriage.
 ,ev. Dr. Charles A. Dickey of Phila- delphia chairman of the committee who presented the report referring to the re- cent marriage of President Corey of the United States Steel corporation, said:
 What we had about MT. Corey cleared the way The condemnation of public opinion was nothing in Itself to make us rejoice and surely If the editorials of our newspapers and if the approval of public opinion is rising to high standard, it Is time for us that we take the lead in this as in everything, and give an example of the church cleansing itself from lax divorce and sinful mar riages.V
 The report of the board of church eree- ton was also received and adopted.
 although it was rumored that an at tempt would be made to bring about a reconsideration of the action of the as- sembly on the temperance question, es- pecialy with reference to the resolution commenting the American AntiSaloon league as a "safe sane and effective organization no steps were taken in this direction. It is not improbable, however that the controversy may be renewed tomorrow, when the report of the per maneut committee on temperance Is pre- scented.
 It is expected that Kansas City will be selected for the next meeting, all though Denver, Seattle, Hot Springs and Atlantic City are after It. The most important matter presented to the as- semDly today was the report of the special committee on marriage and dl- vorce.
 The address of Dr. D. G.

REPUBLICANS SUPPORT FRANTz
In Refusing to Call Election to Vote
 On the Constitution.

Oklahoma City, Okla. May 23.-Five hundred republicans of Oklahoma and Indian Territory, at a meeting here, passed a resolution supporting Governor Frantz in refusing to call an election to vote on the adoption or rejection of the constitution drawn for the proposed new state of Oklahoma postponing the state convention previously set for June until after the issuance of the election procla- nation and condemning what the resolu- tions term unfair provisions in the pro- posed constitution.
 There now seems nosdoubt that the re- publcans of the two territories will unite in opposing the ratification of the con- stitution unless 1t is modified.
