Mayor Sits On Foreman OIsOn's
Explanations

Foreman Olson, who had the sup
eryIsion of the installation OF the sew
er system Of this city under Contract
or Costello is in the city. and this
forenoon made an inspection and lest,
BY flushing, of the sewer located In
the alley north of Sherman, and oe-
tween Fourth and Second street. This
line OF the sewer became clogged
about a month ago near the railroad
track, and back Of the Lake City
Hardware store, and when an effort
was made to remove the obstruction
by flushing II the Lake City Hardware
basement was flooded. and much
damage done. A crew was then
placed in charge to pump the water
out. and work commenced to remove
the obstruction by the use OF rods.
The work was in charge Of Frank
Bishop. chief Of the IRE department,
and he reported to the council after
II had been completed that he found
the sewer clogged with sand. and
also that the pipes had sagged 50 that
sand would accumulate and prevented
the Gov Of water. and gave II as bis
opinion that this condition would ex-
ist until the pipes were dug up and
properly installed. The council noti'
aed the contractor OF the defective
condition OF the sewer, and also tool

but none Of the ceuncIlmen. A hose
carrying a "a inch stream OF water
was inserted in the mhnhole on
Fourth street, and the water turned
on. and then an inspection made OF
the manholes on the line Of the bewer
between Fourth and First street. The
sewer pipes along this line are eight
inch pipes. and II was found By an ex..
animation OF the manhoie between
Fourth and Second street that the
water from the pipe below this was
not being carried away as fast as Il
flowed into the manhole from the pipe
above. and IL was maintained BY the
mayor and chief OF the IRE depart
ment that this clearly showed the

BILLINGS. Mont. Jan. 24.--That
the Milwaukee viii build lire into
and through the city Of Billings and
that this extension win be begun the
tirst Of any Of the projected branches
from the mail line after the latter Is
completed to the coast. Is assured by
an Oflcial of the Milwaukee who was
in this city today. Just how the road
will come into the city 10 not definite
" known by the ofElciaI. but he said
that three feasible routes had been
carefully considered: He said:
The ultimate object OF the MIL
waukee company In building into
Billings is to reach the Yellowstone
National Park. Its pupose. however.
Is Of q threshold nature-to secure q
large portion Of the freight business
which Is known to exist in this local
ity. to tap the Bear creek coal fields
and to secure a share of the tourist
trafic to and from the park. As to a
possible route into the place. one is
from Roundup, across country a dis
lance OF about so miles; the second Is
from Forsyth, up the Yellowstone
river. and the third would be a con-
tinuation OF the main line from Rapid
City, s. D., through the Black Hills.
across the corner Of Wyoming and
thence into southern Montana. II the
last mentioned route Is followed 1t is
my opinion that Billings will be made
the principal division point for the
road in this part of Montana and that
the shops will be located here. This
would mean that Billings win be on
the main line. and | believe that this
h the line that win be projected into
the city
According to my Information there
are two divisions OF the road that will
be taken up Immediately following
the completion Of the main line 10 the
coast. One OF them Is the road into
Billings and the other IL the branch
to Spokane.
The coast extension will be finished
in less than three months, 40 all thai
remains undone is the connecting linl
between Garrison and Misuoula. Thil
distance is approximately 40 miles
and had not Indictment weather inter
fered with the work It would have
been finished by April 1. am salts
ned that the entire line will be com
pieted and that the 'trains will be run
ming to the coast by July 1.

Webster gave at length his reason
for opposing the measure McCutch-
con then assumed the leadership OF
the supporters of the bill and aroused
amusement by his answer. 1.-THE bill
was not brought here because the
gentlemen from Fremont wanted 1t,
but because the people of Idaho de-
manded' 1t. Two years ago the Leg
islators of Fremont county came here
with $500 majority behind them and
broke their pledges They came this
year with 800 majority. The govern
or Endorsed the measure before 1t was
born. in his message. The gentlemen
who do not wish to have the bill rail-
roaded through the house went to
Pocatello and TWIN Falls. and the
Lord knows where else. and when
they got back the enactment was
ready to be born.
"One Of the most difiicult things to
do is to get members into committee
meetings, and the man who is most
stubborn is the one who does not wish
to go. On the first day the commit
tees met every one was present but
tn gentleman from Fremont. When
the bill was first spoken of on the
floor of the house he made the same
speech he made today Everything
had been done In daylight.
Webster's Reply.
A heated reply was returned by
Webster.
"McCutcheon infers that did not
want to meet the committee" he said.
Il stated positively that l wished to
do so. We owe the liquor men just
ice. That Is all am contendlng for.

before he voted for a bill disfranchis-

TRANSFER FIGHT
TO THE SENATE
democrats Give Supporters Of
Measure Majority

BOISE, Idaho, Jan. 26.-Although
doomed to almost certain defeat IN
the republican house caucus Tuesday
night the local option bill constructed
by the judiciary and privileges and
elections committees passed the Idaho
lower house today. The result was
an unanticipated turn. The plan of
the opposition was to recommit the
proposed enactment to the commit
tees from which it emanated, but two
members voted contrary to the under
standing of the combination and a
third failed to register his ballot. Had
five democrats voting according to the
logical attitude of their party, the as
pect of the situation would be
changed. They preferred to'place the
republicans on record by compelling
them. to take immediate action on the
final passage of the bill
The two were counted upon to cast
their lot with the conservatives, but
who, it is asserted. failed at the last
moment, are Philbrick, of ONEIDA
county, and Riblett of ONEIDA county.
Mcdonald, of Kootenai county, with
held answer when his name was
called. The minority was divided on
the proposition of referring the meas
ure back to the committees for recon
sideration. Those who balloted
against it and with the supporters OF
the proposed enactment were Shee-
han of Blaine county, Rich of Bear
lake county and Cummerford, Bangs
and Macintosh of Latah county.

The gallery was crowded to its ca

of the assembly was filled with senat
ors and wives and friends Of the rep
resentatives. Men known to be TN
lieutenants of the liquor interest
were on hand.

enactment be recommitted to tn
