ing Immediately west Of the bank, to
make room for the erection of the sew
en- or eight story bank and office build

The contract for the construction of
this magnificent new building was let
by wire yesterday to Beebe- Bowels
company, and The Northwest Bridge
company of Portland, Ore, jointly.
The plans and specifications of the
new building call for the erection OF
a seven or eight-story structure to be
finished by the first of December, and
the owners reserving the rights for
limited period, of making it either a
seven or eighth story building.
The frame of the building will be of

ever in its construction with the ex-
ception of. the doors, door castings, and
window castings. The floors will all be
of concrete slabs, while the partitions
will be of hollow tile, thus making
the building indestructible by fire.

READY

MEMBERS OF ALL THE
ORGANIZATIONS OF
CITY WILLING.
Men and Women Eager to
Walk Out in Support
Of Car Men.

PHILADELPHIA, March 2.-An un-
official canvass OF the ranks of union
labor here today shows the great body
of union men and women are willing
to respond Immediately when the call
comes for the general strike. Leaders
are perfecting plans for calling the men
out Sunday.
l. is not likely the street car company
will recede from it's refusal to arbi-
trate.
Pratt, Mitchell and other labor lead
ers will confer this evening with Eu-
gene V. Debs in a final effort to find
a way to avert the general strike.
Interest centered today in efforts to
induce the Philadelphia Rapid Transit
company to listen to proposals of arbi-
tration. After a special meeting of the
board of directors the company again
announced that there would be no ar
bitration.
Mayor Reyburn reiterated his stand
against arbitration and said that seven
or eight members of the directing
Loard of the transit company also were
oDposed to it, He said he did not
know any way to stop the threatened
general strike Saturday.
Director Clap Of the department OF
public safety said he would be fully
prepared to protect the city in event
of a general strike Saturday.
Late last night six shots were
fired directly opposite the office OF
Mayor Reyburn by some one who rode
up in an automobile.
1t is not known whether the shoot
ing was done as joke or with serious
intent
detective jumped in a taxicab and
gave chase, but the automobile had
gained a big lead and escaped.
Mayor Reyburn arrived at his office
about an hour after the shooting. He
seemed inclined to make light OF the
incident, but said significantly we
will get the people who did it"

RULES
PASSED
COLLEGE STUDENTS IN
MEETING TODAY
MAKE CHANGE.
Easier for Pitcher in the
Baseball Squad Track
Differentiated.

A rather spirited meeting of the As
was held this morning, when two i'm
portant questions concerning athletics
came up for final decision, both being
carried by a large majority. Both were
proposed several weeks ago
The first motion considered was to
the affect that a base ball pitcher be
granted his official emblem at the
end of the season if the has played
1S innings during the season, instead
of three full games, which has so far
been the requirement. The change was
proposed by Captain Howard Shub
ert He argued that a pitcher fails
to get his emblem simply because he
is taken out of game in the last
inning to give place to stronger man
at the bat. His motion carried al
most unanimously the vote being 1873
to two.
The other motion concerned the
track emblem. Track Captain Fos-
ter had proposed in the last meeting
that the colors of the track sweater
and letter be reversed since no other
suitable Arrangement for the emblem
could be made. Today Barnes, Fee
and Borleske all spoke strongly in ia
yor of the motion, stating that let
ter was harder to win on the track
than in any other branch of athletics
excepting football. On the other hand
the motion was strongly opposed by
the majority of the girls. Miss Mar
garet Paddock spoke against it, wish
to know the reason why it was inn
possible to keep the blue jersey with
the maize letter. Barnes answered,
saying that no suitable letter which
could be distinguished from others re-
mained to be selected and that white
sweater should be selected in pre-
ference to a maize one when making
the change Cushman objected to the
latter alteration for the reason that
Whitman'S colorS might not be recOg-
niZeu when worn in other cities than
Walla Walla- However, in spite of
this strenuous opposition the motion
was carried by the vote of 95 to 43.

Congress May Order the
Scandal Thoroughly
Investigated.
RESOLUTIONS ARE
WITH COMMITTEE
President Asks That the
Trust Be Let Off
Without Probe.

WASHINGTON, March Especial
to the Statesman )-Whisperin OF
discomfort over the failure of the gov
ernment to bring to the bar of jus
tice in New York the men higher up"
in the $2,00O,0O0 sugar frauds may
break out On the floor of the house at
any moment in the form of a demand
for a congressional probe of the entire
sugar scandal.
There are now slumbering in the
committee on rules, of which Speaker
Cannon is chairman, two resolutions
providing for an investigation by con-
gress not only of the underweighing
frauds of the sugar trust, but of a long
list of crimes that have been from
time to time charged against the hlg
sugar combine. One of these resolu-
tions is fathered by Representative
SABBATH of Chicago, and the other by
SABBATH is democrat and Campbell is
a republican. Those who desire the in
vestigation declare it is a bipartisan
question, that they would be pleased to
have the committee on rules favorably
report the measure of either SABBATH or
Campbell.
Two months have passed now since
President Taft asked in his message
to congress that there be no congress
sional investigation of the sugar un-
derweighing frauds on the ground that
it might give Immunity to the men
higher-up and otherwise embarrass"
the government in it's prosecutions OF
cases in New York. AS the men higher
up, or in other words those who would
have profited by the $2,000,000 theft
had not their crime been discovered.
have not been brought to the bar of
justice, many members of congress
hav: abandoned hope that the govern
ment will ever send the really big cul-
prits to Jail. Therefore they see no
reason why a congressional investiga-
tion should be further delayed.

The Hour
Hasn't Struck
When 1t Does, Cut Bank
Will Be In the
Race

We wonder why Cut Bank has
not cotton the county division few
er, since we have it here and they
have it in Conrad. There would
still be plenty of room north of the
Marias river for a splendid county
and Cut Bank would be about the
center point. Better get busy
Brother Whetston-Chester Signal.
The Signal is right. Beginning
from a point where the Marias
crosses the Teton county line, into
Chouteau county, and following the
river run to the confluence of the
Marias and Cut Bank rivers, then
drawing an imaginary line straight
south to the Rockies, cuts off a do
main on the north that would make
a great, big county, and Cut Bank
would be almost situated at the
very center of this new county.
This would leave Choteau very near
to the center of the old county
close enough for all practical purpo-
ses.
Geographically, Cut Bank is the
logical location for the county seat
of this county with the Marias as
it's southern and eastern boundary.
Being the metropolis of north Teton
county and a prominent railway
point makes it a still more logical
candidate for county YEA honors.
Its ideal situation and splendid
water supply would be still another
argument in it's favor.
But, as the Pioneer Press has be-
fore stated, the time is not ripe for
the county division. We must wait
until there is a heavier real estate
taxation, until our farmers COM
mence to raise bountiful crops and
our business men commence to rea-
lie on the big investments they
have made in anticipation of this
condition. Then we shall have
county division-and Cut Bank
will be a factor to be reckoned
with.

Does 1t Pay?

Two farmers were not long since discussing
their local paper. One thought it had too
many advertisements in it. The other re.
piled: I'm my opinion the advertisements
are far from being the least valuable part of it,
Hook them over carefully and save at least five
times the cost of the paper each week thru
the business advantage get from them. ''Said
the other: Il believe you are right know
that they pay me we'll and rather think it is
not good taste to find fault with the adver-
tisements after ALL" Those men have the
right idea Of the matter. It pays any man
with family to take good local paper for
the sake of the advertising if nothing more.
And if businessmen fail to give farmers a
chance to read advertisements in the local pa
per, they are blind to their own interests, to
say the least of it, ''You never trade with
me- said businessman to a prosperous
farmer ''You have never invited me to
yovr place of business and never go where
am not invited; might not be welcome"
was his reply.
