HUMANE KILLING
OF ANIMALS SWIFT
New Lethal Chamber Greatly
Facilitates Work of Ants
Cruelty Society

new lethal chamber, greatly IA
cilitating. the handling of suffering ami
mails and accomplishing their destruc-
tion in so seconds, has just been in
stalled at the Animals home of the San
Francisco Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals at Sixteenth
and Alabama streets.
More than 10000 small animals pass
through the society's institution each
year, and the task of humanely accom-
plishing the death of the large num-
ber Of them which it is necessary to
destroy is a problem Of magnitude. In
early years 1t was the custom of those
engaged in keeping the surplus of stray
dogs within bounds TO throw all unre-
deemed animals into a tank filled with
water, and with clubs beat TO death
the unfortunate ones which refused to
drown promptly. But the society took
charge of the work and successfully
introduced the use of lethal chambers,
alright receptacles into which dogs
and cats are placed and subjected to
flow of ordinary Illuminating gas
Vents are left in each chamber so that
the inrushing gas forces ell air from
the compartments and the unfortunate
animals for which no owners can be
found, or which, owing to injury, sick
ness or disease have been condemned,
soon become unconscious. The death
effected is prompt and painless.
There are three such lethaI cham

to induce death in 80 seconds, is used
only when a large number of dogs
are to be killed The second. which
has just been installed, is used for

RIVERS RISING TIDE
BREAKS. CHANNEL [ DAM

Due to the rapid rising of the Mis-
soula river early yesterday morning
the temporary dam constructed by
the Clark people at the head of the
north channel, near the east island,
broke and most of the material was
carried away. All of the men employed
on the retaining wall excavation We're
put to work repairing the break and,
by quitting time last evening. the
breach had been closed. Rains in the
eastern part of the county during the
last week have flooded the streams
which empty into the Hell Gate river.
and the main stream rose perceptibly
last night. The waters backed over
the low edge of the island and the
disintegration was rapid. The local
officials of the Missonla Light &.
Water company estimate the damage
to the dam and foundation work to be
about $1,000. The big pumping outfit
near the Higgins avenue bridge was
partly submerged when the water
reached its high mark. Work on the
excavation for the wall will probably
be resumed today

culverts put in and considerable grad
ing done. With such enterprise as has
been shown on the part of the citi-
zens in that section it will be only a
short time before good roads will have
taken the place of the many trails
now leading into Roman, and it is to be
hoped that other sections will get busy
and do the work necessary to insure
good roads in every direction.
It's more than probable that the
county will build the bridges yet this
fall on the road between Roman and
the Mission and early next spring dc
the grading the entire distance. This
has been promised, at least, and the
board will do this entirely without To-
cal assistance
Then the road to the noakl1 ofstown
needs repairing, and nothing can be
done of a more beneficial nature than
to build good roads. Every dollar ex-
pended in building roads returns in
terest many fold and nowhere is il
more needed than in this section.
This community is dependent upon
the roads more than anything else, as
everything must be transported insan6
out by wagon, and when the road is
impossible or nearly so it makes a de
plorable condition and one especially
detrimental to the general welfare OF
the@community. Strangers coming into
the country are anxious about these
matters and when good roads are to be
seen in every direction it makes al
impression for good long to be remem.

Superintendent M. NJ, Fowler of the
Northern Pacific returned yesterday
from an inspection trip over the
Occur d'Alene branch. The work at
Dorsey has been suffering some delay
on account of several little slides that
have interfered with the operation of
the steam shovel at that point The
rail for the track has all been shipped
up to Dorsey, but it may be some
time before the ground will be in con-
dition for track laying, as there has
been three and a half inches of snow
through this region and the work has
been somewhat interfered with by it..
1t is estimated that, unless some fur
ther delay is experienced, the cut
will be open for traffic in a week 1t
has been necessary to transfer pas
sengers around the work since the
tunnel was destroyed during the lat
ter part of August. and the compile

NO Marriage LICENSE

was. made yesterday in the office OF
Clerk of the Court Conlon by Freder-

aged IA. The girls father. Jesse "A.
Todd, gave his consent to the proposed
marriage, but the clerk promptly de-
MED the application on account of the
tender age of the girl. The state law
prohibits the marriage of girls under

their parents consent. This is the
first time the law has been invoked to
prevent the marriage of a girl under
