Big Sale of Cascade Land.

GREAT FALLS, Dec. 8.-The Cas-.
cade Land company of Helena, which
had been engaged in the sheep and
cattle business in northern Montana
for number of years, has sold one
of its ranches, within II miles of
Great Falls, containing 10000 acres
of land, buildings and fences, to Sam
Stenson of Colville, W ash, and Jas.
per Lundy OF Harvey, N. D.
The consideration has not been
m ade public, but 1t is understood to
have been in the neighborhood of
$3.50 per acre. 1t is thought the in.
tention of the new owners is to divide
the tract into farms, varying from 80
to l60 acres each in size. and to sell
them to settlers. None of the land is
irrigable. The landl lies along the
line of the Burlington between this
city and Vaughn.

Burned To Death In Hotel Fire.

KALAMAZOO, Mich, Dec. Gone
life was probably lost, many firemen
were overcome by smoke, 300 hotel
guests were driven. scantily clad, into
the icy streets and property valued at
81, 900, 900 was destroyed by q fire
which started here at 10 O'Clock last
night and was only extinguished after
an all.night struggle by the combined
fire fighting forces of Kalamazoo,
Battle Creek and Grand Rapids.
While the flames were raging in the
hotel, a man suddenly appeared at an
upper window and cried for help. Be-
fore ladder could be into position to
rescue him, he disappeared, and it is
believed he perished in the fire. To
the low pressure in the water can prin-
cipally be attributed the great extent
of the fire. The city department de-
pends for its supply on art4 sian wells
and the water from this source was
entirely inadequate. A large stand
pipe at the asylum was connected with
the city mains, but afforded only tenn
porary relief.

out of duty is not q new art, accord.
ing to testimony introduced today as
the government continued its prosecu.
ton of six former employees of the

titled, he reported the matter, but it

UNDESIRABLE IMMIGRATION.
Report Of Commissioner Recon-
mends New Legislation.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1O.-Stories of
rev volting practices of American and
foreign procurers of women for i'm
pOrtation into the United States for
immoral purposes are told in q report
issued today by the immigra alton COM
mission. The recommend ations of the
commission contemplate closer scru.
tiny at the admission of alien women
and renewed efforts to stamp out the
so-called "white slave traffic.
In explanation of the act of laying
bare'to the public the horrible details
of discoveries by it's agents, the CON-
mission says that the "white slave
traffic. is the most pitiful and the
most revolving phase of the immigra.
tion question. This business has as
sumed large proportions, and it has
been exerting so evil an influence up.
on the country that the commission de.
clares it felt compelled to make q
thorough investig cation.
Since the subject is especially liable
to sensational exploitation, the re.
port says, it is important that the
statement of the commission should
deal with undesirable facts which may
form basis of reasonable legislative
and administr ative action to lessen
its evils.

Want Montana Steel In Capitol.

HELENA, Dec. 1.-THE question OF
using Montana material in the capitol
wings has been presented to the state
board OF examiners in new phase by
the Card engineering works of this
city. Under date of Dec. 8 that COR
poration wrote the board, requesting
that II an extra session of the legisla-
ture be called to take action on the
stone proposition. that some arrange
ment be made for the use in the
wings of structural steel fashioned in
this state. The admission is made
that this will mean probably an addi.
tional cost over eastern structural
steel Of from 800, 900 to $3.50, 900, but
the argument is that as the cost will
be divided among the people and the
money will be paid to home labor II
should be done.
In the reply the board says under
the law 1t cannot use Montana mate
rial If eastern material is offered at q
less price, but II there is an extra ses.
sion of the legislature the communics.
tion will be laid before that body so
the law can be changed giving the
