Measure Now Goes to Senate
for Concurrence.

Helena, March 3. Especial bv wire)-
Senate bill 18 was passed by the house
yesterday afternoon on third readin &
by a vote Of 81 to 2. presentatives
Crutchfield and Croft of Ravalli coun-
ty both voted for it. The measure
now goes to the senate for concur
renee.
The bill came up in committee of
the whole in the house Monday. Nu-
merous amendments were submitted
and some were adopted. The COM
mittee voted to report the bill favor
d ably by a vote of As to 13. Crutchfi eld
of Ravalli made hard fight against
the bill and finally voted against re-
porting it even as amended. Croft
did not vote. Crutchfield, however,
executed a complete sumersault by
voting tor the passage of the b ill on
third reading, as no further amend
ments were offered after the COM
mittee report.
A peculiar phase of the situation is
that nearly every section of the state
sent deleg alton here to work for the
I he bill, the Bitter Root valley alone
sending an opposing delegation.
When the bill reaches the senate it
will probably be the subject of a con-
! ference committee. The senate will
reject the amendments designed to
kill the bill, but will protect the rights
of property owners. 1t is certain the

mass meeting was held in the
opera house Sunday afternoon under
the auspices of the CIVIC League of
Hamilton. Stirring speeches were
made by Attorney E. e. Hershey of
MIssoula and w. T. Groom, sup err.
intendent of the anti-sAloon league
of the state. Mr.. Hershey told what
the law was relating to gambling, sell
ling liquor to minors and drunkards S
ard renting houses for immoral pur-
poses. w. c. Harlan acted as chair
man of the meeting. Mayor Drinke II
berg was called for and spoke vigor-
ously for law enforcement. He
believes in night and Sundays closing
of the saloons in Htmiltou, and said
he would do all he could to bring the
reform about. He asked for backin
by the Civic League in his efforts.
His remarks met with vociferous ap-
proval by the audience. Others spoke,
and it was clearly the sense of the
meeting that determined fight
should be made for an ordinance pro-
viding for Sunday and midnight clos
ing of the saloons and the extermina-
ton of the redlight district. At the
regular meeting of the Civic League
last night resolution was adopted
calling upon the mayor to revoke the
license of F. X. Pdrmenter, proprie-
tor of the Southern saloon, who plead
guilty to the charge of gambling Mon
day before the district court. The res
olution cites the fact that "the mayor
may revoke any license issued by
the town authorities when in the
Judgment of the mayor the place of
business conducted under such
license is detrimental to the public
morals" The officers of the Civic
League arc w. c. Harlan. president;
II. II. Barker, weep csident; N.

Senate bill rs, carrying an appro-

vestigation of spotted fever, intro
duced by Romney, passed the house
yesterday and now goes to the gov
ernor. The house also acted favorably
on Romney's bill to relieve Mrs. Pey-
ton. The fish and game committee
offered a substitute resolution pro-
viding for her appointment by the
state game warden as a special deputy
for four years at salary OF S12o
month. This was the only way the
bill could be made stitutional, as
the legislature had no power to ap-
propriate money to her directly.

Helena, Feb, 27.-The senate session
today was characterized by a most

The senate then resolved itself into

Miles Romney in the chair.

up, and after it had been read at
length, Everett offered an amendment
providing that nothing in the IN easure
should be construed as repeating any
part of house bill No. $40, which had
just been favorably recommended. 1t

moved that the bill under considera-

Everett said he was opposed to the
passage of the bill, although he had
no personal interest in the matter.

PLAN 10 PRESERVE
CATALDO MISSION
Intended TO Safeguard Historical
Building ON River.

Intended to Safeguard Historical
Building ON River.
A movement has been started By
the Spokane q Inland to perpetuate
and safeguard the historical old mis-
sion building on the Occur d'Alene
river near cataldo. Idaho.
The relic Of the early pioneering
OF the Jesuits is fairly well preserved
at the present day. and has been kept
up by representatives OF the religious
society who have their headquarters
at GOnzaga college. The s0O-acre
farm on which the mission stands il
still run under their direction.
The electric railway company ID
now taking up the matter OF assisting
the society in perpetuating the his
torical landmark. and they propose
asking the state Of Idaho to assist In
this movement.
The mission church was erected In
1876 by Occur d'Aiene Indians under
the personal supervision and direc-
tion Of Father Josef S. j.. and Bro
Their Huet. s. j.. who toured the
northwest establishing missions and
teaching the Indians. The structure
is built OF hewn logs put together
with wooden pins. not a nail being
uused In the construction OF the
church. The Orders and upright
posts In the frame are of cedar logs
two feet square. and all OF the work
was done by hand. even the statues
and inside decorations.
When an inside altar wall was nee
essary wild grass was interviewer in
willow poles and this plastered with
mud, which to this day shows the
finger marks OF the workmen. The
main room of the church is about 25x
40. Fronting the building are six
pillars two feet in diameter. hewn
out Of native cedar. which support
the roof. These pillars are in good
state of preservation. and with care
the entire building will last for years
with very little alteration.
The Spokane q Inland is running
Sunday excursions from Spokane to

WRECK TRAIN
Big Chain Around Rail on Electric
Line

coLFAX. Wash. July T. A bold
attempt was made this morning TO
wreck the early passenger train OF
the Spokane Inland railroad while
It was enroute from Colfax to spOk-
ane, and had Il not been that II was
preceded by a heavy freight train
the attempt would no doubt have
been a success and many persons
probably killed and injured.
The train I'm making It's trip Is
compelled 10 pass through a tunnel
at Harpole, and Il was here that the
attempt was made 10 wreck II. The
would-be-wreckers in order to bring
about the wreck had wound q heavy
chain three times around the rail at
a sharp curve Of the road al its en-
trance into the tunnel. and had the
fast travelling passenger come in con-
tact with this obstruction the plans
Of the wreckers would have been sue
cessful. and the train wrecked. For
tunately, however q freight train
drawn By a heavy electric motor pre-
ceded the passenger. and its wheels
cut the chain in two. but even then
the cabOose and several ears OF the
freight were derailed. but the damage
suffered By them was slight. and no
one on the freight vas injured.
As soon as the ness Of the wreck
reached the main ofBees Of the
road At Spokane detectives we're dis
patched 10 the scene to make an In
vestigation Of the wreck. but up mn
Isl late hour this afternoon no trace
had been found Of the guilty parties.
The detectives are unable 70 assign
any motive on the part OF the would
