IS SOUGHT BY TAFT
President Thinks He Does
Not Need Endorsement of
Private Citizen"
By JAMES HAY, JR.

BEVERLY. Mass. July 1o.-This
Administration does not think it

vate citizen, whoever he may be
There is no political communication

He does not believe that the high

It is no secret here that close friends
Of the President were surprised when
Trey heard authOritativeIy that ROose-

was so much opposition TO the tariff

And Beverly apparently does not care

While the close friends of the Pres

Of Roosevelt to Taft here. it is now
openly admitted that national politics
were not discussed. that the two men
appeared much interested in a world
movement for peace and the estab-
lishment Of an arbitration court. and
that both Of them told some good
jokes.
The situation IS puzzle which
might well defy the prophetic powers
Of General Gro svenOr OF Ohio and as

The lifeless body Of Chas. .Schoene-
man, a bridge carpenter in the
employ Of the railroad company,
was found beside the track about
half mile east of town yesterday
afternoon about one O'Clock with
his throat cut from ear to ear, an
old homemade razor, besmeared
with blood, which lay beside it, and
the position Of the body indicating
that the man had done way with
himself. The body of the man was
first seen Wednesday morning by
Section Forman Flynn, but think
ing that it was someone asleep
nothing further was thought about
it until yesterday afternoon when he
again saw the body in the same
place. Getting suspicious he in
vestigated and found the man dead.
The body lay in an underground of
brush about hundred feet south
OF the track. Mr.. Flynn immediate
ly notified the authorizes here, and
after notifying the coroner the body
was brought to town Yesterday
evening.

tin came over from Lewistown this
morning in an automobile, and an
inquest was held over the body at
two O'clock this afternoon. A cor
oner's jury was impanelled, and
seven members of the crew with
whom he worked, were examined.
The finding of the jury was that the
man came to his death from a
wound in the throat inflicted with
a razor in his own hands.

TO EXTEND MAINS
Officials Of the Roundup Water
Company Have Meeting Here
Monday Evening

A meeting Of the officials and
stockholders of the Roundup Water
Company was held in the office of
the Roundup Coal Mining Com
pany at Camp Three Monday even
ing. Those present at the meeting
were J. U. Gridley. Of Dietz, Wyo.,
J. E. Lane and n. J. Littlejohn, Of
Lewistown, and J. E. Woodard,
of this place,
The matter Of prime Importance
before the meeting was the extern
sion of the water mains, it being de-
cided to extend the service where
ever demanded. Petitions are now
in circulation asking that the mains
be extended three blocks north Of
Fourth avenue on First street east,
and also First street west, bringing
them out as far as Seventh avenue.
This will be done as soon as prop
erly presented to the company.

WANT EXPRESS Nf|Q Up TOWN
Petition Circulated to Have Wells
Fargo Express Co. Establish
Office in Business Center.

A petition was circulated among
the business men of the city this
week asking the Wells Fargo Ex-
press Company to establish an office
in the business center of Roundup,
this being in line with the general
opinion that an uptown office where
express could be received and sent
would be a great deal more con-
venient than under the present con-
ditions. The petition also asks
that E. w. Small be appointed
agent of the new office.
A large number of names appear
on the petition and it is expected
that the company will comply with
the wishes of the people of Round
up in this matter.

Plan on Foot to Revive Com
n1ercial Club or Or9anize New
Business Mems Association

That the get-together spirit and
desire for harmony and cooperation
between the business men of Round.
up is as strong as it ever was in
Roundup. was evidenced by meet
ing held at the Pioneer Club last
evening. The principal object Of the
meeting was to start movement
which has for it's end the reviving
of the Commercial Club or the or
ganization Of a new business mems
association along similar lines, ANA
it was thought the best way to get
everybody interested and feeling
friendly toward it would be by
having series of banquets or dol
lar dinners, such as have been
made a big success in number of
the other cities of the state. The
matter of organizing and discussing
questions which interest everyone
in Roundup could be done at
these banquets and action taken
according to the wish Of the ma
jority.
The matter Of arranging for the
first banquet was left with COM
mittee consisting of l.. II. Car
voll, II. B. Thompson and A. w.
Eiselein. 1t is expected that the
committee will be able to announce
the date by next week.

This Year.

The Great Northern's Mondak-
Lewistown line is to I've extended
into Helena via White Sulphur
Springs, a total distance of 376
miles, was the announcement made
Saturday by James J. Hill. This
announcement has caused a big
sensation throughout the state as it
will open up wonderfully rich
country.
We have only secured our right
OF way to Lewistown," said Mr.. Hill,
but as soon as the definite route
is determined upon the new road
will be extended to Helena. The
surveyors are now in the field run
ming the lines for the extensions"
THE JOINT ROAD.
The Mondak- Lewistown line will
connect with the BILLINGS q North
ern at Haucks. From Meagher a
new line will be built, owned joint
ly by the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern, between the Little
Belt mountains on the north and
the Castle mountains on the south
to White Sulphur down the Smith
river valley to Benton gulch and
thence up that gulcll over the Big
Belt mountains into Whites gulch,
down that gulch to the Missouri
river bench thence easterly into the
Prickly Pear valley to Helena.
A party of sixteen surveyors has
been encamped more than week
in Benton gulch surveying tunnel
site through the Big Belt mountains,
at a much lower elevation than that
selected by the Milwaukee when it
surveyed the same route several
years ago. A grade OF less than /

actions. His bunk mate awoke
about 4:3O o'clock a. m. Wednes-

absence, however, and his fellow
workman were shocked to learn of
his death. He did not drink to ex-

health. No reason can be assigned
for his act unless it be dispondency
brought about by brooding over
private affairs. He was well liked
by his associates.

\. ,. 5UQt TO BUILD
Is Seeking a More Direct Line from
St. Paul to Coast Open
Zig Country.

To secure more direct line from
St. Paul to the coast, thereby reduc-
ing the mileage and saving many
hours in schedules, the Northern
Pacific will build cutoff from
Glendive to Helena, announced
Howard Elliott, president Of the
Northern Pacific while in Helena
Saturday.
This line will extend through the
counties of Dawson, Fergus and
Meagher, connecting at Helena with
the main line again. It will be $50
miles long and its estimate cost will
be ten million dollars.
The line will open a new and
practically undeveloped region, at
present sparsely settled and given
over to stock raising because of the
lack of transportation facilities. It
will parallel the Milwaukee line
from Miles City to Meagher, a sta
ktion on the Billings d Northern in
Fergus county, but at an average
distance Of twenty-five miles north
ward.
It will be used for mail and fast
freight, it is understood, while the
line through the Yellowstone valley
Twill be used for slower traffic.
1t has been the policy Of the
Northern Pacific" said President
Elliott, to develope the present
road to the highest degree of eff
,ency so that it can handle the
maximum traffic. At the same
time we have been looking about
or new territory to develop, new
branch lines to establish and for
;ut-offs on the present line wherever
practicable.
