4 B|G DAM BURSTS
GREAT BODY OF WATER RE LEASED FROM HAusER LAKE
 iN MONTANA.
vILLAeEs DESTROYED BY RUSHING FLOOD
People Along the Missouri Valley Warned of Danger by couriers and Teiegraph--Dsm at Great Falls Blown Up by Dynamite to Save the Smelter.

Helena, Mont. Apr. 16.--A great body of water, released from Hauser lake, by the bursting Tuesday of the dam across the Missouri river 10 miles below Helena, Is now pouring down the Missouri valley. The little villages of Craig and Hauser Lake have been destroyed by the rushing waters, a dozen cabins at OK Bow, where an other dam Is being constructed. have been swept away, while numerous ranches have suffered losses In their buildings and livestock. Couriers on horseback and warning by telegraph have sent the people living along the river flying to the hills. Only one loss of life is reported, Carl Ide, smelter employe at Great Falls, being swept over the dam and drowned Tuesday night while working to save the prop erty from threatened destruction.
 A special to the Record from Wolk Creek says the town of Craig has been wiped away by the flood. Warn Ing had been given to residents In time to reach the hills but all their belongings were carried away. There were from 30 to 40 buildings in the place, including half dozen stores. the Great Northern station and nearby farm buildings. Considerable live stock has been destroyed.
 M. B. Gerry, general manager of the company Wednesday received adyices from New York that the dam would be rebuilt at once so soon as equipment can be secured. Already preliminary work Is being done.
 The Black Eagle falls dam across the Missouri river at Great Falls was Wednesday morning blown up with dy' namite in order to prevent the de- struction of the Boston & Montana shelter. This materially helped and serious danger from the flood Is now probably over. A smelting workman, name unknown. was drowned when the dam was dynamited, the second man to lose his life as result of the flood.

Bryan, after reading the dispatch from Washington relative to the probable action by congress on number of measures which the president has par ticularly urged. said
 'sI think the president and congress are right on some of the questions and wrong on others. For instance. I think that congress was wrong in not relieving the laboring men from the op- eration of government by injunction and the antitrust law. think the president was wrong in tying the labor proposition to the proposition in re- gard to the trusts. His plan relating to the trusts was, think. in favor of the trusts rather than against them. The two propositions ought to be con- sidered separately and each upon It's own merits. think congress is wrong in opposing the measure to prevent the watering of stock and that the president Is right in endeavoring to prevent child labor in the District of Columbia. am glad that congress and the president agreed about the improvement of the inland waterways and the quantity of compensation to employees injured in public service. This does not cover the whole ground but It is what mean when say con gress and the president are right in some things and wrong In others"

 Washington. Apr. 17-The leaders or congress have notified the president that several laws which he desired 10 have enacted at this session VIII not be put through. A recapltuiation shows that when the session ends con gress will probably have failed to pass many of the most important measures recommended by the president. They are as follows:
 Restricting the power of the federal courts in the issuance of injunctons In laboring disputes; amending the Sherman antitrust law so as to es- tablish a system of federal licenses for interstate corporations; to enable the railroads to form traffic associa- tions so as to secure greater stability of rates and returns to remove some of the restrictions from combinations of labor; to prohibit the railroads from blacklisting union employees; empowering the interstate commerce commission to control future issues of stocks and bonds of railroad prop 6Itys u pcInlt Luc dbtoAhSy 6ShOASA to name one of the receivers appointed for insolvent railroads, to remove the duty on wood pulp; to provide for the construction of four battleships in- stead of two: to establish postal say ings banks.
 These are the measures which the leaders have agreed to put through If possible:
 Making more elastic currency; grant ing compensation to government em- ployes injured while In the govern ment service; prohibiting child labor in the district of Columbia; authoriz- ing the ways and means committee of the house and the finance committee of the senate 10 give hearings pre- liminary to revision of the tariff; appropriating sum sufficient to en- able the inland waterways commission to continue the work on which 1t start ed last year.

never forget the forcefulness behind

Justifiablc Pride.
Sit down and talk with Mr.. Bryan
for half an hour, and you will find
that he takes modest and proper
pride in the fact that he is now the
undisputed leader of his party, that ne
is coming again into his own, that he
has regained his estate without the aid
|of wealth, or influence, or corporations.
or organization. As he well says, he
has had nothing but himself, nothing
but his principles, nothing but his
steady appeal to the people. As he
also well, and perhaps with designed
significance, says he had had no pat
rorage. no office-holders, no machine
behind him. For the most part, as he
adds. the machinery of the democratic
party was in the hands of state or 10
cal leaders who were not for Bryan.
They had everything with them ex
cept the people. Mr.. Bryan had moth
