Mall-Avenue Sites and Foundations

Senator Nelson pitched his objection to
the immediate passage of the Hepburn
bill in the Senate yesterday. on the
ground that he doubts the sufticiency of
the avenue foundations for large public
structures He instanced the post Office
building as case OF highly expensive
underground work in preparation, and
exclaimed: mo one will ever know how
much it cost to get q foundation for the
post Office building.
1t may be true that the post Office
foundation cost eXtravagantly. Nearly
everything about that construction was
extravagant II was the most orovok
ingly slow building enterprise known in
Washington for many years The Star

vestigation into the causes of the slow
ness The Star learned a great many
things about the cost of the work. Its
publications caused great furry In the
Treasury Department and there were
loud denials and expostulatons. But the
fact remains that certain methods were
changed and the public building con-
struction work thenceforth was put upon
a businesslike basis which had previously

Thus IL may be misleading to cite the
case OF the post Office building as a case
OF excessive foundation cost within the
Maii-avenue triangle. Ii is doubtful
whether any private corporation engaged
in a large construction work within this
territory would find the operation espe-
cially expensive IL may be true that

that portion of the country westward
where the rainfall averages as much
as 20 in. per annum From an exper-
ience Of over forty years, during
which time the 160-acre area has been
used as the proper homestead unit, th
belief has become gneral that in some
way or other this was the proper unit
to be applied to the settlement OF all
the remaining public lnads. The al

ADVANCEMENT
IN DENTISTRY

| The dental profession has for years
been striving to find way to repair
badly decayed and broken down teeth
without subjecting their patients to
| the barbarous treatment, and annoying
process of filing the mouth with nap
kins, tieing rubbers on their teeth,
and pounding in gold or other filling
materials, while they We're seated in
the chair, with their mouths propped
| open for hours at a time, suffering
more or less pain.
1t is every day being proven that
they have at last succeeded in adopt
| ing what is called the INLAY Sys-
tem,' which requires only the pre-
paration of the cavity, and the form
ing Of the matrix, after. which the pa
tlent is dismissed, while the dentist
makes the filling and prepares it to
be cemneted in place at the next Wis
it. q
A patient is in the dental chair only
about one-fourth the time that the old
method required them to be, and the
strain on the nervous system is less
oned so as to allow the weak to have
their work done, and not suffer the
tortures of aching teeth.
Gold, porcelain enamel, and other
filling materials are so employed,
making much more comfortable and
lasting filling, for there is no metal
in direct contact with the tooth, but
there is union between the tooth
and filling which prevents its coming
out
Who is practicing this kind of dem
tlstry? DR. Stephens, a former pract-
1oner of Great Falls, who is we'll
known, will be at the Havre Hotel
parlors. Monday and thereafter until
further notice, giving the people
chance to have Inlay" filling as well
as every other kind of modern dentis-
try as it is practiced today.

Of the well-knoWn fact that the pres

that the present law is wholly inade-
quate for the purpose of settling the
public lands with bona fide settlers.
