FL Paso is fast becoming a favorite
:hild Of the railroad companies in the
matter OF freight rate reductions to
southwestern points out of this city.
The rate advice which has been issued
by traffic manager A. w. Reeves, of
the chamber Of commerce, quotes a list
of rates which will be reduced to
points west Of Albuquerque, effective
September %. These reductions run as
high as IS cents per 100 pounds in some
instances and in others amount to 40
percent of the value of the commodity.
AT the present time the class rates
out of Denver TO these points are lower
than those from Ell Paso. When the
new rates become effective this will
be reversed and Ell Paso will enjoy
the lower rate. Rates from Los Angeles
east as far as Gallup, n. NJ, in Ell
Paso's trade territory, are equal to

THE BLACK M'INTOSH
A BIRD OF PROFIT

Yesterday J. o. Read received Major
Boy, likely son of Major Meddler,
whose register number is 149,145, and
who was prize winner at the South
Dakota state fair last year. Major
Boy was sired May 26 of this year and
is Poland China of most aristocrat-
ic lineage. He came by express from
Sioux Falls and is now comfortably
installed at the Read hog yards.
Hogs, from which hams and bacon
are extracted, or ''black McIntoshes,'
as "J. O." terms them, are hogs now
adays. Most of the time during the
past year the price of pork, live weight
has lowered around ten cents and there
is big profit in them at that.
Thanks to the progressive breeders
high-grade of stock is maintained
throughout the valley.

day night-the first-the first bonfire

or of Congressman Charles N. Pray
and Railroad Commissioners e. A. Nor
ley. And the band played
A fair sized house greeted Mr..
Pray and he was accorded most re-
spectful attention, while making his
explanations.
Judge w. P. Baker presided at the
meeting, first introducing Mr. Morley,
who briefly told something of the
working of the state railroad commits
sion.
Then Judge Baker came forward
with that smile that never wears off
and in we'll chosen words introduced
the principal speaker of the evening
as "our present and future congress-
man, the Hon. Charles Hartman" thus
drawing the merriest demonstration
of the evening. Backing up, the
chairman said he meant Mr. Pray and

Pray told of number of bills he
had passed, touched on Cannonism, eX-
planned that when prior to the election
two years ago, he announced that he
would not vote for Cannon he meant
that he would not vote for the speak

The most striking thing about Con-
gressman Pray address were the omis-
sions. He scarcely touched upon
present day matters of interest For
example, he never mentioned Taft
and he sidestepped the tariff But
scant enthusiasm was manifested
even mention of Roosevelt was passed
unheeded by the audience.

DESPONDENT MINER
TAKES CARbOL|C ACID
s.
EDWARD FARRELL OF BrTTE MIN
ERs' UNION, TIRES OF
TROUBLED LIFE.

Edward Farrell, a former Butte
miner, victim of the ravages of miners
consumption, and rendered despontlent
by a weeks debauch committeed5 sui
eide yesterday morning by swallowing
a vial of carbolic acid.
Farrell was found ,writhing in / the
agony of death on the floor of a room
in the Wilson lodging house just be-
fore noon yesterday by Charles Davis,
his roommate. Davis Immediately
notified Policeman Jack Howay and
DR.. Casserly was summoned The ply
sician did everything in his power to
restore the unfortunate man, who had
lapsed into unconsciousness, but the
terrible acid had done its work; the
vital spark soon flickered away.
Coroner Kellogg was notified by tel,
ephone and motored up from Stevens
vile. A jury consisting of George
Reeves, William Griggs, j. B. Blod-
gett, Clark Ostrom, ]. w. Gunter and
Frank Childers was empaneled and an
inquest held.
At the inquest the facts developed
that Farrell had been in town about
week, drinking heavily all the time.
Yesterday morning, accompanied by
Owen O'Donnell, with whom he had
worked in the Butte mines some IL
years ago, he took breakfast at the
they strolled along the street, Far
rell complaining of rheumatism. He
gave O'Donnell quarter and re-
quested him to enter drug store and
buy vial of carbolic acid. O'DonneI
did so, Farrell waiting outside. They
then went to the room, where Farrell
threw himself down on the bed and
requested O'Donnel to remove his
shoes, stating that he wished to rub
the acid on his knee. Grasping the
vial he suddenly drank of it's contents.
O'Donnel, himself almost in drunken
stupor, picked UP the bottle and went
away. At the inquest he testified that
he had no idea that Farrell thought
of suicide and that he did not think
he had swallowed enough of the acid
to do any harm. Anyhow he went
away, down to the Union bar, where
he threw the vial into the alley and
thought nothing more about it until
placed under arrest.
After weighing all the evidence the
jury returned verdict that the de-
ceased had come to his death by TAX
ing poison with suicidal intent.
Farrell was about so years of age.
He had no relatives, so far as known,
excepting a brother, Mike, resident of
Butte He was a member of the Butte
Miners union, but having contracted
miners consumption, was forced to
quit the mines. During the past sum-
mer he had found employment with
the Sunset Orchard Land company.

THE POLITICAL LINEUP
IS ABOUT COMPLETE
DEMOCRATIC, REPUBLICAN, so
CIALIST, NON-PARTISAN, AND
INDEPENDENT.

The regular democratic, republican
and socialist county tickets have been
filed with the county clerk and re-
corder. In addition to these a num-
ber of petitions have been filed NOM
mating non-partisan judicial and in
dependent candidates. The lineup for
the election is now probably complete
unless some more threatened indie
pendent" candidates. should develop.
In addition to the county tickets the
democrats have nominated the follow
ing candidates for constables:
Ward township-C. A. Bailey and J.
M. Higgins.
Edwards township-George R.
Waldo.
Skalkaho township-F. V. See and
J. A. Warren.
Corvallis ownship-Thomas Ran
dolph and James e. Craddock,
For constables the republicans have
nominated:
Ward township-G. E. Faduloff and
D. A. Bishop.
Corvallis township-C. B. Gates.
Stevens township-Cal Cook and
George F. Johnson.
The non-partisan judiciary law in
cludes the office of justice of the peace
and under it's provisions the follow
;pr oopd;do+ac boyo baop nominate od nv
petition:
Darby, G.. w. Solleder; Hamilton,
A. J. White and E. c. Whaley; Victor,
T. J.. Patty; Stevensville, Moses H.
Baker and Solyman Sedgwick
Two independent" candidates for
county attorney have been nominated
by petition. These are Judge George
w. Reeves and former City Attorney
Charles S. Wagner. Rumor has it that
Paul Anchling may also run for
county attorney.
Judge Reeves Whirlwind Campaign.
That the race for county attorney
is attracting considerable attention is
evidenced by the following special dis
patch that appears in the Missoulian
Wednesday:
Judge Reeves is conducting a whirl-
wind campaign for election to the Of
flee of county attorney of Ravalli
county. Owing to the fact that he is a
little weak on locomotion he has sta
toned himself at the corner of Main
and Second streets, where he greets all
who pass in the interests of his can
didacy. He was little late in getting
into the race but, to use his own
words, he is certainly burning the
wood" now that he is started. 81 am
burning the woods before me and the
bridges behind me-" stated the judge
today. Things look fine at the pres
ent time, and l have them all going al
fast clip. And when you are talk
ing about flying starts, why l have
one that makes the Philadelphia Ath-
letics' getaway sink into insignifi-
cance Judge Reeves has many loya
friends in the Bitter Root valley, and
not an hour of the day passes that he
is not holding an impromptu recep,
tion on his corner.

ruled and then application was made

WELLMAN TELLS
HOW IT HAPPENED
JOURNALIST BIRDMAN PROPOSES
TO TRY TO CROSS ALL
OVER AGAIN,

New York, Oct. 19-Walter WelAnan
and his five companions were landed
here this afternoon by the steamship
Trent, which picked them up at sea
after they had abandoned their diri-
gible balloon America and failed in the
first attempt ever made to cross the
Atlantic ocean through the air. A
bruised right hand which Wellman
carried in a sling, was the only phys
ical injury that resulted from their
long voyage of approximately 900
miles, and rescue the like of which
is unknown in all history.
None of the areonauts expressed re-
gret for the loss Of the America. They
agreed that it had served it's purpose.
All stand ready to renew the attempt
as soon as Wellman and his engineers
find a way to conquer the difficulties
that brought their first trip to it's
thrilling end Tuesday morning 400
miles southeast of Sandy Hook.
Standing on the deck of the Trent,
Wellman made this statement
Eve thought we could get along
without the equilabrator. Now we
find that we could not get along with
it. Our plans for the future are
indefinite until we find something that
will do what we thought the equili-
brator would do"
The "equilibrator," to which Well
man attributes the failure of the voy-
age, was the series of tanks contain
ing the gasoline which floated in the
water and was attached to the airship
by long rope. Its purpose, in addi-
ton to storing gasoline and serving as
a wireless ground was to keep the
balloon steady, cCrlpensating for the
expansion and contraction of gas, due
to changes in temperature which
would have made the America rise and
sink erratically.
The Americas experience proved
that this floating tail, jerking at the
delicately poised airship, made 1t i'm
possible to steer or to make headway
in the desired direction and weakened
the structure. To find another means
of compensating for this unavoidable
change nthe volume of gas is the
problem to which Wellman and his
engineer will now devote their at
tention.
The direct cause of abandonment of
the America was exhaustion of the
supply of gasoline, which had to be
thrown out to save the ship, for when
the crew abandoned the ship only
enough was left to last about "a hours.
Wellman tried to grasp rope thrown
from the Trent and the rope got
twisted about his hand. Before he
got loose it nearly tore off his little
finger and badly bruised the rest OF
the hand. The comparative unimpor-
tance of the injury, however, was
demonstrated by the fact that as Well
man said this he had a cigar in his
bandaged hand and was not obliged te
let the member rest in sling.
The other members of the Americas
crew said they felt as we'll as evel
and they looked it. They are Melvin
Vaniman, engineer; J. Murry Simmons
navigator; ]. X irwin, wireless oper
ator, and Albert L. Loud and oJhr
Aubert, sailors. There was also the
gray kitten which was so pampereC
by the women passengers aboard the
Trent that her sides bulged with feed
ing.

Not to Their Liking.

The action of J. Pierpont Morgan in
not registering carries with it the sig
nificance that, rather than vote for the
Roosevelt ticket in New York state, he
prefers to let the election slip by with
out even the semblance of interest on
his part. Similar views, it would seem,
are entertained by other prominent re-
publicans of the elite and vastly veal
