80 far, neither Senator Thomas H.
Carter nor Senator Joseph M. Dixon Of
Missoula has cared to come out of the
brush and taAf an open stand in re-
gard to the abandonment Of Fort AS
sinnihoine. The people Of Montana
have ample cause to suspect that AS
senators. There is also good cause fol-
believing that Senator Dixon has been
knocking the northern Montana post
the dark, while protesting to the peo-
pie of Havre that he saw their friend
and that he wasdoing all in his pow
er to save Assinniboine.
Senator Dixon's name was not at
tached to the protest that was made
by the Minnesota congressional dele
cation and Congressman Pray Of Mon
tana at the time the proposed aband-
onment of Assinniboine was announc-
ed. He has not yet explained why.
Last May, Senator Dixon wired the
Havre Industrial association as fol-
lows:
Am indeed sorry to hear about
Forts Assinniboine and Keogh. l hav
wired Washington in protest.
JOSEPH M. DIXON"
That is the last that has been heard
of Senator Dixon's sorrow, and as for
the protest, of which no word has ev-
er been heard, it can only be conclud-
ed that the messenger boy was too
busy to file it.
The Tribune has no infirmation that

HIGH SCHOOL SEEMS OURS
Close Election. So Far as Returns Are
I'm. Indicate a Victory for Ed
ucational Improvement.

There still remains some doubt to-
day as to the result of the election
held last Saturday in Chouteau county
ON the question of the establishment
of county high school, but all indi-
cations as the Herald goes to press is
that the proposition in which Havre
was SO deeply interested, was endorsed
by the voters by a slight majority.
TSo far as returns received SO far,
the proposition retains majority of
Is.
But, whatever the result Of the ell
ection, it was as the patriarch told
the little boy about Blenheim, "a most
glorious victory" 1t was this be-
cause for the first time in the history
of Havre, it foundthec ity unit in
support Of the measure Of public inter
est The vote on the proposition in
Havre was: For, 4S2; against, 0. Men
who had been personal and political
foes for years were found shaking
hands in felicitation over this first
unanimous expression Of public opin-
ion. The old grudges healed and the
spirit of progress thus brought to NOR
thoroughly encompass the city are
still themes of congratulation in the
households, the business houses and
on every street corner. So, the ele-
ction was a glorious victory"

R. R. COMMISSION ADOPTS SCHEDULE

! Helena, July 10.-Rates now in ef-
feet on all common carriers doing bus
ness in Montana were adopted this af-
ternoon as the official rates by the
railroad commission of Montana, with
two exceptions, the coal rate on the
Great Northern and the lumber rate
On the Northern Pacific. These will
be fixed within the next two weeks, Il
meeting today being adjourned until a
day is set to give the representatives
of the roads an opportunity, as well
as the shippers, to appear before the
commission and give reasons for or
against the adoption of tariffs pro-
posed by the commission.
While the advertisement of the rail-
road commission, announcing the meet
ing, stated that the maximum freight
end passenger tariffs on railroads in
Montana would be adopted, and this
was done from the commissions
standpoint. From the standpoint of
I. Parker Veasey of the Great North
ern this was not done. He declared
that any tariffs the commission de-
clared official were not the maximum
nor minimum and were final and in
flexible" If the railroads raised or
lowered, he said, they would be guilty
of extortion.
Among the prominent railroad men
present were A. L. Craig, general pass
