MONTANA BURSTS - WATER
SWEEPS ON, WIPINc OUT TOWN
OF CRAIG.

GREAT FALLS, Mont, April 15.--
A great food is rushing down upon
this city, caused by the breaking of
the Great Hauser lake dam, on the
Missouri river. The town OF Cr4N,
lying directly in the path OF the IN.
comfortable volume OF water, Is report
ed wiped OFF the map. The inhabi-
tants, Il Is thought, escaped, having
had warning Of the approach Of the
flood.
The population of this place IL 49,
900. All living In the valleys are nee
ing to the mountain sides for safety.
The Boston and Montana smelter, one
OF the largest in the world, is thought
to be doomed. The 1900 men employ
a wing dam, but the works, being To-
Gated on the river bank, are directly
In the path of the flood and the weak
earthworkss will be OF little avail IN
saving them.A
Another Town IN Danger.
The town OF Cascade, 400 popula-
ton, north of Craig, is under water
and is in danger OF being entirely
swept away Undoubtedly there has
been loss OF life and the peril IL b.
coming greater every hour.
The river is thickly strewn with the
debris of ranch houses and the cars
casses OF drowned cattle
Great Hauser dam Is In q mourn
famous region and there Is no room
for the spreads OF the water. Spring
freshests and the melting snow taxed
the dam 10 Its greatest strength. A.
break was discovered yesterday ana
efforts we're Immediately made to re-
pair II. The water broke through
with mighty roar and the men On
the structure had barely time to e.
cape. 1t Is not known whether al
OF them reached safety. The great
body OF water. backed up for miles.
leaped through the break and raced
down through the valley. growing In
volume every minute.
Warned by Ranchmcn.
Ranchmen raced ahead, warning the
people In the path OF the flood OF
their danger and urging them to e.
cape to the hills. There was no time
to save property.
People who last night fed to tie
mountain sides, suffered greatly from
exposure The night was cold and
many families were without shelter

Mayor Thompson and Estimator
Thomas Hislop, of the Fourth ward,

statements made recently by the

OF city accountant, and, instead, hay
ing outside accountants come In at

partments.
THE Office ought to be taken out OF
politics; We need a new plan, change
all the way through" declared the
mayor. THE job of city accountant
has been looked upon as a sinecure
for years. l will say. however, that
Gridley has made an Improvement
over his predecessor.
"You might as well talk OF abolish
ing the Offices of judges because they
have TO get In politics to be appoint
ed" said Hislop. 1T will be up to
you to get a good man as Gridley's
term Is almost up. III the Office were
abolished and occasional checking de-
pended upon, wouldn't departments be
let alone until there were reports that
thousands Of dollars were gone. Then
there would be big row"
mot while I'm on the job" remark
ed his honor"
"You amt the only man living" re-
torted Hislop. you say that the &C
countant made recommendation for
improving department bookkeeping.
Is he to blame because the mayor and
council did not back him up and put
his ideas into effect?"
At the end OF the interview Hislop
expressed himself as against abolish
ing the Office and reminded the mayor
that he viii have the appointment to
make next July. Thompson remarked
that he would turn 1t over to the con-
troller.

AN IMMATERlAL ABSENCE.

So far as the public can observe.
Chief Pitts absence has made no diff
ference in the police department ex-
cept about 245 pounds in its gross
weight. Ignoring the provisions of the
law, he left no one man in authority DIS
acting chief, but that will not affect
the situation materially because the
police have had no head since he took
office, and il would be poor strategy If
him TO let an ordinary police sergeant
take his job while he's away and show
what could be done by a man who
knows the business. Hempel. the next
in succession, might not set the JOr-
dan on FIRE if he were acting chief. but
he has walked beat long enough %
know the difference between a porch
climber and d clubman coming homa
late-Which is more discrimination
than most Of the force. including tn,
chief. have shown under this admins
tratiOn.
Besides, Chief Pitts absence cannot
affect conditions much. The city ad-
ministration has little sympathy with
his policies, the department is not
meant primarily for the suppression of
crime, and it certainly has not been
used much for Ihe detection of Grim
finals. so the matter of a chiefs alb
sence is immaJerial
Some of these days, though, Their
will be a cali for "a real police depart
ment. in which appointments will be
made for competency and not for polit-
ical reasons, and in that event not only
the chief. but good part of the pres
ent force Will be able TO go back 10
the beet fields where they belong.

ONE GOOD BILL.

1t must be said that the sixtieth
congress enacted one good bill INFO
laws This is the act providing for
second homestead entries. 1t is brief
enough TO be published in full. and fol-
lows:
Be it enacted by the senate and
house OF representative of the United
States of America in congress assem-
bled. That any person who, prior 10
the passage of this act, has made en-
try under the homestead laws. but
from any cause bas lost. forfeited or
abandoned the same, shall be entitled
TO the benefits of the homestead law
as though such former entry had not
been made, and any person applying
for a second homestead under this act
of his former entry; provided, that the
provisions of this act shall not apply
To any person whose former entry was
cancelled for fraud, or who relinquished
the former entry for a valuable con-
sideration.'
This act was approved Feb. 8, 1908,
and little has been said about it. II
is of importance in the western coun-
try because here is the public land. 1t
will be noted that those whose for
mer entry has been declared void be
cause of fraud, as well as those who
have relinquished an original entry for
a valuable consideration, are barred
from relocation, as was the case I'M
der the former act This provision
should answer satisfactorily all OBJ
jections.
1t has often happened that entries
have been relinquished because the in
dividuals making them found them not
to be worth the cost Of proving up and
the time spent in that process. Those
lands have gone back into the pub
lie domain. Nobody except the gov
eminent, and the government only re-
motely, has prohted thereby. Every
citizen should be entitled to locate his
proportion of vacant land. and he
should be entitled TO hold il until he
has disposed of it for a valuable con-
sideratiOn, or until it has been proven
that there was fraud in the making
Of il.

mr.. DUNcAN's VIEWS.

ON Sunday last The Herald COM
mented on the action of the Butte G.
\. r. in Withdrawing its invitation To
a pastor of that city. DR.. Duncan, -
deliver a Memorial day address. be-
cause DR.. Duncan had invited the no
tOrious woman anarchist. Emma Gold
man. TO speak from his pulpit. We
suggested that DR.. Duncan must be in
sympathy with the wild preachments
% the Goldman woman or he would
not have offered hey such an opportu-
nifty. Comes now friendly letter
from William T. Brown. who knows
DR. Duncan we'll protesting against
our criticism. Mr.. Brown says, in
part:
Il have no desire TO critieise the ac-
ton of the 6. A. r. in Butte for can
ceiling their Invitation to Mr.. Duncan.
They undoubtedly acted in accordance
with their honest convictions But
when you intimate that Mr.. Duncan
sympathizes with the views Of Miss
Goldman YOU are entirely mistaken. I
personally know that Mr.. Duncan diff
fers in his political and social beliefs
far more widely from Miss Goldman
than The Herald does. Politically Mr..
Duncan stands at the opposite extreme
from Miss Goldman. as she herself
would be the first 10 admit"
The Herald can hardly understand
how Dr. Duncan can differ more wide
~ from the views Of Emma Goldman
than this newspaper does And we
invited her to speak in his church is
sufficient justification for believing
that he indorses her views of govern
mentor lack of government A.
cordirg to Mr. Brown, our estimate of
Dr. Duncan was entirely erroneous.
Then the pastor must plead guilty 20 a
bad mistake Of judgment.
1t IS all very pretty 10 talk about
giving a hearing TO the other side, but
there is no other side TO the question
of anarchy as typified by Emma Gold
man. If Emma Goldman should stanl
up In Dr. Duncan's pulpit and advo-
cate the assassination of President
Roosevelt. and if some poor, deluded,
weak-minded individual should take
her advice, proceed 70 Washington and
ASA ssinate the president. would not
Or. Duncan be culpable? We are in
ciined to think he would be. There is
no more excuse for plea 10 hear a
violent anarehistic talk than there is
10 hear a lecture on the best method
Of administering poison TO ones hus-
band or ones wife or child
