Awaits the Milwaukee.

Henry Parent. the Kendall mining
man, who was in the city yesterday,
informed the Democrat that his min
ing property in the North Moccasin
district will be opened up as soon
as the railroad finds its way into that
section, which he considers a GER
tainty within two years. Mr. Par
rents property shows up well in sill
yer, copper and lead. From the latter
he hopes to make a clean up when
the railroad affords better facility
for shipment. Some time ago a deal
was entered into with a Denver smell
ter for shipment of this metal, but
the long haul, almost impossible road
out OF the mountain and high freight
rate proved barrer which will be ov
ercome with the advent of rail
road.

over the property of the Judith Basin
Milling company with view to its
purchase.
A conference was held with the
owners of the mill Saturday evening
but no definite terms were agreed up
on. The gentlemen having the mat
ter under consideration will return
to Lewistown in the near future, as
it is their intention and desire to
drive over the wheat growing section
of the Judith Basin, which with the
present condition of the roads can
not be undertaken.
The Frazee brothers are prominent
in financial circles both in Minnesota
and Seattle. They have large inter-
ests in grain elevators and banks and
are looking with considerable favor

Church of That Denomina Will
Be Erected at Moore.

Father van den Brock, of St.
Leo's catholic church, this city re-
turned from Moore last evening
after completing arrangements for
the purchase of building site and
construction of a church of his de-
nomination in the thriving Rock
Greek village. A deal was closed for
a spacious site near A. M. Matthews
residence, in the unplatted portion Of
the original townsite.
Father van den Brock stated to
the Democrat that there are many
families of the Catholic faith on the
bench and in the vicinity OF Gar
nell, and that within short time

NO PRICE SET

John Crowley, Owner Of Desirable
Location, Says He Has Not
Been Approached By Anyone.

John Crowley called at the Demo-
crat this week and stated that the
persistent rumor current about town
regarding the price asked the Great
Northern for his land is wholly with
ont foundation. Mr.. Crowley saws
that he has never been approached
upon the subject by the railroad peo-
pie or any Of their agents and that
he has never asked $1,000 per acre
for any portion of his land and de-
slres that this erroneous rumor be
corrected. He further stated that he

How Miss Fannie Morris, OF Wyom-
in, Succeeded in Wedding Man
of Her Choice.
Plucky Girl Makes Long Horse Back
Journey to Lewistown-Young
Husband Injured.

The truth of the old adage that the
course of true love never did run
smooth is now testified to by Mr..
and Mrs. Robert Mcfarland, of the
Big Hole Basin, Wyoming, who were
married in this city last week under
somewhat romantic circumstances.
The facts concerning the matter are
brought out through an accident that
one Of the principals met with yes
terday, and which will delay their
departure for Wyoming for some
time.
A Girl With Nerve.
1t appears that the bride, who was
Miss Frannie Morris, daughter of a
well konwn cattleman of Frannie, in
the Big Hole basin, Wyoming, and
Mr.. Mcfarland were lovers and wish
ed to wed, but the girls father ap-
parently did not approve of the
match. Mr.. Mcfarland came on to
Lewistown, arriving some time ago,
and one day last week, Miss Morris
rode into town At that time no one
suspected that, in order to wed the
man of her choice, she had made a
horse back journey alone all the way
from Frannie, the town having been
named after her. Her journey COW
cred about $50 miles through a rug
ged country, and occupied three
weeks. On her arrival here, she was
met by Mr.. Mcfarland, and within
short time they were married
They remained in Lewistown for a
few days and yesterday morning
started back for Wyoming on horse
back.
Meet With Accident.
When near the brewery, the horse
MIR. Mcfarland was riding became
unmanageable and threw him with
the result that his hip was badly
broken. He was brought back to
town and is now at the hospital,
where he is receiving the best of
care.
Just what plans Mr. Morris may
have had for his pretty daughters
future are not known, but when he
learns the details of this affair he will
probably be convinced that her hap,
piness could not have been secured
by any plan in which Mr.. Mcfarland
did not figure as the husband And
If it all brings about a reconciliation
with the parental blessing, Mr.. and
Mrs. Mcfarland will perhaps not re-
gret the trials they have gone
through

INTO BUTTE BY NEW YEAR
Rumored Abandonment of Plans for

hcials of Road.

Conflicting reports that have been
abroad concerning the intention Of
the Milwaukee to abandon the ex-
tension of its road into Butte this
year have been set at rest since the
arrival OF President Earling at Miles
City.
He, with party Of prominent st.

to the newspapers unmistakable inti-
nation that his road would be com
pleted into Butte by the first Of jan
uary. Trains will be running from
Aberdeen to Butte on that date. Ex-
cept in case Of greatest emergency
this IS assured.
Mr.. Earling expressed qualification
that he found such evidence Of thrift
and prosperity all along the line.
Grading and construction work is
being prosecuted without abatement.
He states positively that Miles City
is to be division point and one Of
the best in Montana along the line
of the Milwaukee extension
The original plan of the party of
railroad men was to make the trip
of inspection in automobiles, but
owing to the flooded roads in the
Yellowstone valley these were aban-
doned and shipped back to Chicago.
The balance of the trip will be mad,

President Earling repeated today
that his company expected to COM
plcte the Pacific extension to Butte
during the present year.
Unless there are some DELAYS
which we cannot force" he said "I
still am of the opinion that trains
will be running to Butte over the St.
Paul road by January |.
President Earring expressed himself
as being satisfied with the progress of
the work done in this state. He said
the cost OF the work had been much
greater than was at first anticipated.

r'ice Of material and the difficulty

the near future or not.
Mr.. Gibson would not be quoted on
the result OF his conference with

sources, apparently reliable, it was
stated unoffcially that the St. Paul

NEW GAS ENGINE FUEE.

Since the passage o., the measure pro-
Yiding for the removal Of the internal
revenue tax on denatural alcohol little
has been done toward bring this fuel
into the market as competitor Of gas
oline. So writes Howard Greene in The
Technical World Magazine for Novem-
Der. As matters stand at present, alcohol
| is not in a position to compete with
gasoline as a fuel for internal combus-
tion engines.
Chief among the engineering reasons
for this state Of affairs is the fact that
alcohol vaporized and mixed with air,
burns slowly as compared with the
combustion Of gasoline vapor. To use
alcohol advantageously the engine speed
must be low and the compression high.
Stationary motors for burning alcohol
running at three hundred revolutions a
minute or less and highly COMPRISING
the charge, have given excellent results;
but this only goes to indicate the nm
suitability of alcohol for automobile
motors as now built. But new method
Of using alcohol, developed from the idea
Of altering the characteristics of alcohol
without impairing its fuel value, has
been devised and letters patent issued
to +. w. Barker and Thomas i. White,
of New York. on December %, 1906.
Briefly the Barker-White system con-
sists in vaporizing alcohol in a carbure-
ter Of the ordinary gasoline type and
passing the yapor Of alcohol, mixed with
the proper volume of air, through cal
cium carbide. Commercial alcohol al
ways contains water, usually to the ex-
tent Of about ten per cent, and this
water is absorbed by the carbide, where
upon acetylene gas is liberated by the
carbide, mixes with the alcohol vapor
and air and is carried into the cylinder.
Detailed account Of the exact methods
employed and the excellent results OBJ
tanned are given by the writer in an ex-
eellent article.

In point Of population Astoria already
rates as the second city in the state. as
she does commercially; but there is o
similarity in the numerical ratios claim
ed BY Salem, that cannot be altogether
ignored. Indeed there is but small mar
gin between the two cities on this score;
but with the lines Of commercial deyel-
opment marked out for Astoria In the
future months lying nearest her, the
variation il likely to increase SO rapidly
and in such pronounced fashion. as to
widen the differences in both directions
to the obliteration Of all equalities.
just when the sign is to be given by
the people and concerns that are to
launch the new conditions at the mouth
Of the Columbia cannot be fixed at the
present moment; but the most dubious
forecaster ID this section does not put
it beyond the first of February. 1908,
and there are those who feel justified in
naming an earlier period. AT all events
there are none to dispute nor gainsay
the certainty Of the realities to come
and every access Of Importance that
shall be noted must contribute instantly
to the forging Of Astoria's rightful
claim to the distinction Of second place.
And as the second city in the common
wealth it Is her bounden duty to grow
measureably to new standards and
greater responsibilities, not only as the
second city. but as the first, and only.
seaport of consequence. in that domain.
For it viii be her new marine prestige
that will give her all else of value and
Importance. Her new destiny is not to
be altogether in her own hands; there
are Others coming in here whose wealth
and experience will have tremendous
weight in the casting Of her future lines
of progress. We have got to assimilate
these factors and adapt ourselves large
" to the spirit that animates them; we
cannot have things all our own way for
ever; all genuine expansion follows prac-
tically new departures as well as new
people, and we cannot expect to operate
successfully as an exception to an in
variable and accepted rule. There are
things for us all to learn and the les
sons viii do Us good because we shall
broaden and gradually relinquish what
of amoss- backism' that now affiicts us,
to our wider freedom and surer profit,
financially, and ethically.
Astoria will be alright, for all time
to come, when she takes her place as
the great grain-port Of the northwest,
lays her cables in up-to-date holdings.
and schools herself to the ampler, and
somewhat peculiar, exigencies of the
new citizenship and interests that are
to share her solid advance along all
lines.
