ing Donations.

The Glbbonsvllle people and the
ranchmen OF the lower valley are
very much elated over the completion
OF the road over the hill into the Big
Hole country, Montana. They have
every reason to feel rejoiced over the
building of this road. as IL means
much to them. Owing TO the alti.
tude OF the Big Hole the ranchmen
can raise only hay, small grain and
the most hardy vegetables. This
will give a good market for the sur
plus fruit ard vegetables OF the
ranches In the lower country.
In addition to the money furnished
by the Forest Reserve and the
county, the people have contributed
liberally towards the fnnd with
which this road was built. Harry
Nell collected $87i from the residents
of the Big Hole country, so IL is evl

GIVES ULTIMATUM!
All Saints Who Fail to Pay Their % Shall Lose Their Standing n9An
noun(ement Also Made That Soon There Will be Revival
Of Pdygamy Letter Read by Bishop

The first presidency Of the Mormon
church has within the past three
weeks through communication OF
semi-secret nature, addressed to all
stake presidents, promised the men,
bers of the church that certain rev.
elations and principles that have
been laid aside for time will shortly
be resumed; this being construed to
be revival Of polygamy.
The first presidency In the same
letter gave an ultimatum to all mem
bers of the church who are behind in
their tithe-paying, or who refuse to
pay tithes, in statement which In
effect says, ''that all brothers who
have fully paid up their tithes shall
withdraw their fellowship from all
members of the church who are be-
hind or who refuse to meet their
tithing obligations.
With what follows in the letter re-
garding tithe-payiug the decree has
been taken by the majority OF Nor.
mons to mean but one thing-that
the breaking point has been reached
between the first presidency of the
church and the members of the faith
who are pulling away from the tithe
paying idea. Withdrawing theil
fellowship" it Is claimed, is the
way the first presidency has taser
to convey to non-tithe- paying Nor
mons it's threat Of being driven from
the church unless they obey the pa!
order.

ESTIMATE! +!
Conceded That Panama Canal
viii Cost at Least Seventy
Million More Than Estimate.

Washington, Jan. l0.-Because OF
changed conditions from those exist.
Ing In 1905 when the board OF con-
sulting engineers OF the Panama
canal submitted Its report, II Is now
admitted In responsible quarters that
tile estimate made by that report
for building the canal was far too
low and that the cost may approx.
mate 1900, ,000,0 900. This includes
various incidental Items, such as ad-
ministration. sanitation and i'm
proyements aggregating several mil
Hons Of dollars In Panama and Colon,
which, however, will be refunded by
the Panama government, and the ex-
penses OF the zone government and
the various expenses incidental TO
the relocation and acquisition OF the
Panama railroad.
The estimate Of the board In 1908
was that the cost OF the canal would
he si3a, 785, 200, but this estimate did
not include expenses on account OF
interest during construction, santa
tion and zone government Since
last spring when the commission,
after some general estimates, placed
the probable cost OF the work at any
where between s2i0, ,0oo, 900 and $3.50, !.
600, 900, the more conservative mem-
bers have found that considerable
saving can be made and they now
feel warranted In placing the esti.
mated cost at nearer 5000, 900, 900,
than higher figure. Various rea-
sons are assigned for the increased
cost. including wider and longer
, locks than those proposed by the
board Of engineers. a greater guam
tlty OF excavation than that estimat-
ed ty the board, an increase In unit
prices and higher prices for labor
than those thought adequate by the
. board. That board estimates the
locks would cost less than si0, 900, 600,
while the present commission thinks
IL will be between s52, 900, 900 and
$50, 900, 600, with still greater In.
crease OF 10 per cent If the locks are
further widened as proposed by the
navy department.

the vein at distance of l,03S feet

Where they intersect the fissure vein
they found an average width OF

The workmen are now following
the vein both north and south on

it widened out to eighteen feet and
north the width remained the same
