FIGHTING FOR FUEL

THE BATTLE ROYAL BEWEEN

volved is north of the county seat ant
the direction of the line that is to be
built as indicated by the locations
filed, Is northwest from Columbia Falls
This route appears to be a continua
ton of the line which is being sur
veyed from Missoula up the Big Black
foot and thence by way of the Swan
river valley into the Flathead coun-
try. A man who came down from
Kalispell yesterday says the excitement
in F'lathead county is at fever heat
and the belief there is that the rival
railways are racing for an entrance
into the British Columbia coal fields
This theory is substantiated by a
statement from an authoritative
source that the Chicago, Milwaukee &,
Puget Sound company and the Great
Northern are endeavoring, the one to
secure the right of way to Fernie and
Michel and the other to prevent this
achievement. The Hill road has con-
troled the American outlet of the Can
adian coal districts and naturally re-
sists the proposed invasion of this
profitable field.
There is no telling how many sur
veying parties there are at work in
this territory; they have come from
all directions and they are all work.

conditions that are in some parts of
the field extremely trying. The Mis-
Soulian told the other day of anoth-
er move by the Milwaukee to reach
Great Northern territory, this is in
the Red river and Winnipeg region. It
seems that the assault is general all
along the line.
In the Flathead country the situa-
ton seems to be that the Milwaukee
people have been successful in execut-
ing flank movement on Mr.. Hill;

adds to it's significance.
Thus the battle is one of offense and
defense, the Hill lines fighting to pre-
vent the threatened invasion The at
tack by the Milwaukee forces was so
carefully planned that the movement
was well advanced before the Great
Northern realized what was going on.
Now the struggle of the contending
forces in the field is absorbing the at

THE ART OF KISSING.
DEDICATED TO HoRsoN

pEDlCATED TO HOBSON
kissing is INDUCED in by every
body. old and young, fat and thin.
A kiss is a wonderful thing when
performed by two people of oppo-
site sexes who are old at the busi.
ness and know how to work it
properly. when one young woman
kisses another young woman that
don't count worth cent, but when
moustache tickles maiden's lip
that's different thing. She just
gets right up against it and sticks
there glued to the spot, as it were.
She could die right there and never
complain. She gives you a long,
tight squeeze, and murmurs. Let
her rip when your two Zig fat
faces meet, and you both smack
and break away with a report that
you can hear across the street. Its
delicious-the girls all say so, and
they ought to know. Even old
maids know the value of kissing al
though they don't indulge in it, be-
cause nobody asks them; but there
is many an old maid in this town
would be tickled to death If she
could be kissed and kissed all over
the mug by some pudding faced
hairy old gent that new his business.
And, by the way of no harm, every
young fellow ought to know how
to kiss a young woman coreotly
Its thing that has to be done. and
you might as well do 1t right. If
you notice that your best girl is

DIRTY, PLAYING
 IS REGRETTED Coaches Sorry For Dis graceful Playing SLUGGERS ARE CONDEMNED Fighting, However, Cannot Endan- ger Good Feeling txisting. Howard And Aabera Foot Ball Men Warmed Not To Repeat of-
 fense in Future Games
 Barring Penalty.

pr. Longwell. football coach of the Howard College team, In discussing the several personal difficulties be- tween members of the Howard and Auburn foot ball teams in Saturdays game expressed regret that tine play CTS on either team should have forgot ten the cordial relations that have aiWays existed between the two coll Ieses and permitted a momentary anger to get the better of their sober Judgment. Dr. Longweli said:
 The relations between Howard and Auburn have always been most cordial. Each college has aided the other materially in building up athletics anJ the fact that members of the teams have, in passion and while excited by heat of play, struck each other. should not mislead the public regarding the Feelings between the colleges"
 Other men of both colleges expressed sincere regret that blows should have been exchanged by the players in the game. Manager Wright of the Howard team said:
 Tt must not be supposed that any unpleasntness obtains between Howard and Auburn as result Of the diffl- culties that arose between players in the game. Today there is not the slightest i'll will between the schools. Men on the Howard team who engaged in the fights will be told that fl they again give way to such exhibition of temper. they will be suspended in- definitely from participation in athletics"
 Coach Donahue of Auburn said:
 ''Slugging or fighting In college athletics Is to be regretted. No one feels worse than do over the un- pleasant incidents of the game. but I wish to say that Howard and xuburn are the best of friends and no per- sonal encounters between members of the teams whether occurring in games or elsewhere can change those rela- tions."
 Manager Bragg of Auburn said:
 "I wish the public to know that Auburn holds no ill-feeling toward Howard and the unpleashtness of the game is purely a matter between in- who were in any way responsible for the trouble will be told that e repeti- ton of such conduct will rule them out of further participation Tn Auburn college athletics"

FINANCIAL REVIEW

New York, Oct 3.-The brilliant trade and industrial prospects was the stimulating influence in the revived speculation and strength in the stock sources of the money market, the in- evitable concomitant of the expanding business and crop moving requirements were disregarded at the outset of the week, but gained some influence to- ward restraint on the speculation with the rise in the call money rate.
 The cheerful views emanating from the iron and steel trade formed a broad underlying basis for the confidence which permeated all lines of business. The iron and steel output for Septem- Der was declared to have exceeded all previous records and a wave of buying swept through the iron market that threatened to exhaust the surplus sup ply and leave a condition of famine. Some anxiety was expressed over the danger of runaway iron market that might beget feverish conditions and subsequent reaction that would alter the course of steady progress In the trade. A feature in the trade was the appearance of railroads with orders for steel rails for next years deliv- cry.
 tons to be allotted to different com panies was regarded as an important sign of the policy of the railroads to resume free purchase of supplies and to end the close economies which have been enforced since the financial de- pressiOn.
 The rapid decrease in the number of surplus idle freight cars reported by the American Railway Association, with prospects of a coming shortage of equipment, points to another field or railroad requirements which promised heavy demand Reports of August earnings of railroads coming to hand showed heavy expansion in gross re- turns with substantial proportion saved for the net through the lesser increase in the operating cost. This tendency of railroad finances and the general growth of business awakened expectations of coming increases in dividend disbursements. These eXpec- tations were diligently fostered by the conductors of the stock market specu- lation. The record high prices touch ad during the week by number of the moat active stocks disclosed the field of operations of these expectations. The resumption of dividends on the preferred stock of the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company made a strong appeal to sentiment as representing the quick reeuperation from tho depression which was being affcted.

and some farm land in the county of not much value Colonel Morrison prac- tically had nothing when he quit Con- gress. In his fight against Jehu Baker the Democratic funds were So short that when money had to he raised to meet some necessary expenditures of the campaign. Colonel Morrison re- membered that Mrs. Morrison hal a paid up insurance policy of his care fully put away in her trunk. It was one of the "die to win" kind. The Colonel related here to the writer how anxious he was to get his hands on that policy, and yet did not dare broach the subject to Mrs. Morrison. When she wasn't looking one day and the trunk was open he got the policy and hypothecated it for si.200 to fight Jehu Baker. even though he hal re- peatedly charged his good better half' never to let the policy get out of her safe keeping, for he wanted her to have the money after he passed over the river.
 Things improved financially for Colonel Morrison after the late Presi- dent Clevela nd appointed him a mem Der of the Interstate Commerce Com mission. The salary was t7.500 a year Cit has since been raised to $10.000 on
  rate law) and Colonel Morrison com menced to save money. Among the first things he did after he recouped financially was to go and get his in- surance policy "out of soak" slip 1t quietly back into Mrs. Morrison's trunk, and she probably up to the day of her death never knew that 1t had been hypothecated.
 Although Colonel Morrison served in both the Mexican and the civil wars he along with other ex-Union officers age of so many loosely drawn pension measures. He had with him in these tights such old warriors as General Edward Bragg of Wisconsin, comman- der of the famous stone Wair brig ade. and Gen. Frank L. Wolford of Kentucky. All three used to light in- to what they called "camp followers" coffee coolers and the like. and many a fraudulent pension bill did they hold up.
 Colonel Morrison and Gen. John c. Black of Illinois never did "gee" to- gether in even the Democratic politics or Illinois, and no love was ever lost between them. Their views about pen- sions especially were at wide variance. While General Black was Pension Com missioner under Vs first administra- t'~h oA thc iatt IfeSlueut CieVeIanQ, the Mexican pension bill was passed. The commissioner had the pension agent at Chicago issue a pension to Colonel Morrison without his having applied for 1t, 1t seems. General Black, who Is now the president of the Civil Service Commission, will never forget the stinging letter he received from Horizontal Bill" when he learned of that pension having been issued to him. The letter was given to the press, and 1t made lively reading at the time.
 During the civil war Colonel Morri- son and General John A. Logan re- ceived wounds in the same battle and in the temporary hospital were laid on near each other. Colonel Morrison often related how much the famous "Black Jack" Logan groaned and carried on before the surgeon ex- tracted the bullet from his body. the future Republican Senator from Illinois thinking surely that his end had come.
