circles now admit a rupture has oc-
Cured between Bolivia and the Argen-
tine Republic and all diplomatic re-
,lations have been severed.
The recall of the Argentine minis
ter, Senior Fonseca, who has been sta :
toned here throughout the disorderly
events leading up to the present crisis,
was followed almost simultaneously
by the removal of the Bolivian minis
ter stationed at Buenos Ayres. On
the departure of the Bolivian minister
from Argentine, he was ordered to
turn over the archives to the Ameri-
can, Chilean Or Brazilian legations.
The reupture of diplotatic relations
was announced after extended Off.
cial conferences held throughout yes
terday at which efforts were made to
meet the aggressive attitude assumed
by Argentina and at the same time
allay the growing popular agitation
in Bolivia.
The spirit of the people was shown
in monster petitions asking to be en-
rolled in the army, the petitions as
serting unconstitutional support of the
governments cause in case of an
armed conflict. The feeling that hos
tllities may occur is shown by the
continued departure of many Argen-
tine and Bolivian residents.

The major was greatly surprised tc
velopment in Missoula since he was
here last.
'Of course there are a great many
landmarks in the city, said he, .'but
there are SO many new buildings and
the town Is spreading out so it looks
almost like new place.
The major did not bring his family
with him but expects the members
of it to arrive at the post within the
next few weeks. e
Talking of the work at the fort
the major announced that the reinforc-
ing steel which has been missing
somewhere on the railroad for week
or two past, has arrived. Teamsters
are now engaged in unloading and
hauling the material to the post. The
work OF constructing the walls of the
first set of barracks is already under
way as is that of the walls of sew
eral officers buildings.
The big derrick which was destroyed
by the last severe storm has been
reconstructed and the second derrick
is under way. These will be used in
connection with a cable for the hand
ling of the concrete after it is mixed
and ready for dumping into the forms.
Inc contractors are now planning to
construct knock down forms which
may be used on another building, thus
saving the work of constructing new
forms for each building.
Construction has progressed so far
that already there is quite show
ing and with a hundred or more lab
orers employed upon the buildings the
new post site is busy place.

Calais, France, July 21.-M Rleriot
the French aeronaut. arrived here to-
day with his monoplane He an
nounces that he will make trial flight
tonight and possibly make an attempt
to cross tho English channel tomor-
row. Count de Lambert will also be-
gin series of trials with his aero

The feverish haste of his rivals has
induced Herbert Latham, the aviator,
who made a daring, but unsuccessful
attempt to cross the channel on Mon
day, hastily to prepare his new mono

here from Challons.
M. Bleroit's monopiane Is of the

President Monies to the provincial
governors of Bolivia, referring to

Argentina also takes offense at
President Montes' orders to the mu-
nicipality of La Paz to suspend the
centenary fetes, which have been go

action, which is regarded as a ma

Argentina as Incompatible with a dig

Major Shattuck of the constructing
quarternaster's department of the
United States army has arrived al
Fort Missoula from Washington, d. C..
and assumed charge of the construc-
ton work on the proposed new reg-
mental post He has established him
self in the office formerly occupied

lay.
Major Shattuck was assigned to the
work at Fort Missoula to succeed
Captain c. D. V. Hunt who recently
resigned his post as constructing
quartermaster and returned to the
east. The major was formerly sta
toned at the local post, at the time
when the Twenty-ffth infantry was
quartered there. AT that time Mr..
Shattuck was a first lieutenant, but
since, has worked his way up to the
rank of major. 1t was because of the
majors familiarity with affairs and
conditions at the post, and his ability
as a constructing quartermaster that
he was chosen for the important work
that he will direct
When seen at the post last night
by Missoulian representative Major
Shattuck expressed himself as we'll

GRANT SMITH & COMPANY OF
SPOKANE ARE GOING TO
BUILD SHORT LINE.
FROM L0L0 TO SUMMIT
Only the First Forty Miles of the Pro.
posed Cutoff Are to Be Built at
Present in Order to Give Opportunity
for Easier Handling of Construction
Materials.

Bringing assurance of immediate
construction work and or renewed ac
tivity in local railroad circles comes
the announcement by the Northern
Iacific that the contract for The first
40 miles of the Lolo-Kooskia cut -off
better known as the Clearwater Short
Line, has been let to Grant Smith &
Company of Spokane, Wash.
N The air has been full OF contradict
ing rumors regarding this big piece
of work for some months now and
since the recent trip of Chief En-
gineer Darling of the Northern Pa
cific to Spokane, accompanied by the
representatives Of the different con-
tractors, things have been at a high
pitch. Yesterdays contract is merely
but the first 40 miles of the proposed
road, from Lolo to the summit of the
Bitter Root mountains or the Lolo
pass. This work is all that is to be
done at present and this stretch will
be constructed first in order to give
a better opportunity for the building
Of the rest of the road.
Mr. Darling accompanied by Peter
Seins, general contracting agent for
the road passed through Missoua
Tuesday, bound for the east, and it
was from them that tile announce
ment OF yesterday came. When seen
Tuesday by Missoulian reporter Mr..
Darling refused to talk at all upon
the subject bnt decision was reached
yesterday and the contract formal
ly awarded. Speaking of the matter
Yesterday a representative off one Of
the bidding firms said I'VE have not
yet received any official announce
iment of the award but we
have been unofficially and reliably in
formed that the contract has been
given to Grant Smith & Co. and an
official Statement to that effect may
be expected at once
The firm to which the contract has
been awarded has been prominent in
railroad building in this section of
the country during the past two years.
They were actively connected with the
construction Of the Northern Pacific's
double track from Missoula to Gar
rison and they are at present doing
extensive work for the road near Man
den, North Dakota.
A representative of the firm in the
person of either Mr.. Smith or Mr.
Woldson, his right hand man, is ex-
pected IN the city on every train and
the assembling of equipment and men
will undoubtedly follow at once.
The road which is going to be con-
strncted first is extremely rough and
a great deal of tunnel work and

LAST STEP in CONSTRUCTION OF
HIGGINS AVENUE BRIDGE
is BEGUN.
CREW STARTS ITS WORK
With Large and interested Crowd of
Spectators to Watch, Men Of Nc.
creary & Willard Put ia First Day
of Erecting Metal Part Of New
Passageway Over Missou.a River.

Promptly at 5 o'clock yesterday
morning the big derrick swung the
first steel peam of the Higgins avenue
bridge into place and the last step in
the construction Of the big structure
was begun. For a couple of weeks now
the steel for the bridge has been on
hand ready for the erectors and yes
terday the steel crew of McCreary &
Willard, the firm which has been
given the erection contract having
finihsed the unloading of steel began
the work of putting up. Already the
structure has begun to take on shape
and with the first beams and girders
in place it does not seem quite such
a long Jump until the bridge is en-
tirely finished Two of the ground
spans of the bridge had been finished
when the crew quit work last night
and everything is in readiness for
good fast work for the next month or
SO. All of the steel work which will
be used, in the near future at least
is in the city and the Puget Sound
is shipping the rest just as fast as
it is being turned out at the steel
mills. The appearance of the big grid
ers is attracting lot of attention and
comment on the part of both the
visitors and the natives and all seem
to be of the same opinion, that the
bridge will be dandy.
Coming Up Fast.
Inc erection work is perhaps the
fastest stage in the construction and
the piers having all been finished
there ought from now on be no DELAY to
the work. AS soon as the erectors
have gotten couple of .naree spans |
up the Burrell Bridge & Construction
company will proceed with the flooring /
and other concrete work. The two
north piers, which had to be aban- .
doned, owing to the June floods, will /
be taken up at once and finished: a 7
crew was set at work there on the
preliminary work yesterday.
The engineers in charge of the work
nave estimated the bridge will be
ready for traffic by October and the
rate at which the construction work Is
now seems to bear out that
prophecy. A big crowd of spectators
the erectors at their work
and the favorable comments were
many as the south end of the struc-
-ure began to take form. Already
t looks like a real bridge and it
seems now as though as Engineer
White has fifty said, There will be
10 better bridge in the country when
his is finished"

GROWTH OF REDWOOD.
Develops as Rapidly as Any Other
Native Tree.

Develops as Rapidly as Any Other
Native Tree.
Few people realize the rapidity Of
growth of the coast redwood trees of
California. Because some of the large
trees of this family are thousand
years or more in age, often attaining a
size where they are larger than any
other tree, excepting the famous big
trees. redwood has the reputation Of be-
ing avery slow growing tree. AS a
matter of fact, redwood sprouts grow
among the most rapid growing Of our
native trees.
To illustrate this point, the United
States Forest service will exhibit at the
Alaska Yukon-Pacific exposition in Seat
tie this summer sections from a young
redwood sprout, together with explana-
tory diagrams showing its rate of growth
in diameter, height and volume. This
tree. which was cut from the Dupont
Powder works tracts near Santa Cruz,
is over so inches in circumference at the
stump, almost 125 feet in height, and is
only AZ years of age. These dimen-
sions indicate a growth of over u inch
in diameter per year, and an annual
growth of almost 27-1O feet in height.
Trees of an even more rapid growth
were seen in the Big river country of
Mendocino county, California, where
redwood sprouts over 30 inches in di-
ameter on the stump and 125 to $50
feet in height were found growing on
land cut over 40 to 40 years ago. Red
wood sprouts thus rival in their rate
of growth the much lauded eucalyptus.
