HAMILTON FIRE DEPARTMENT
GETS NEW EQUIPMENT

AT the regular monthly meeting of
the Hamilton city council Monday
evening a contract was entered into
with the Northwestern Fire Apparatus
company of Logansport, Ind, the COM
pany to furnish to the city combina-
ton chemical and hose wagon, de-
livery to be made within 80 days. The
price paid for the wagon which will
weigh 5000 pounds, is $1,000. Some
time ago bids were advertised for by
the council and last evening communi-
cations from five different companies
were opened. After a long argument,
which lasted until o'clock in the
morning, the bid of the Northwestern
Fire Apparatus company was finally
accepted as the lowest
The purchase of the combination
chemical and hose wagon by the coun-
Gil disposes of a question that has
worried the city fathers for some little
time. 1t has long been evident to the
members of the council that some rad
ical improvement in fire-fi ghting meth
DDS in this city was necessary, but
just what action was best for the city
was not so easily decided. With the
purchase of apparatus such as was
contracted for last evening, the ques-
tion of buying and caring for a team
to be used on the apparatus also
came up for consideration. The wag-
on was purchased and with it's arrival
some provision must be made for it's
transportation to fires. Although no
action was taken, it has been consider
ed by the council, and the arrival of
the wagon will see team provided.
Some provision will be made at the
city hall for the care of the team,
which can be used for street work
when necessary.

Too Much Tariff Vote.

Senator Carter admits that voting
121 times for the Aldrich tariff bill
was largely instrumental in bringing
about his defeat Senator Dixon was
inclined to turn tail" against the tar
iff bill in the closing hours of the
campaign Senator Carter is now ask
ing: where was Dixon on the tar
iff question: He will not recognize
Sthat Dixon has any the best of him,
because the Missoula man voted with
Aldrich los times, whereas Carter
stood for the Aldrich-Payne tariff 121
times, he voting only 16 times more
for the bill than did the junior sena-
tor. Senator Carter seems to think
that it is his duty to defeat DIXON,
because of the latter's supposed
treachery AS matters are viewed here,
the war between the two senators will,
at the proper time, be fight to the
finish.

CARTER TO FIGHT FOR
D|XOA'S TOCA
CAMPAIGN FOR 1912 ALREADY
MAPPED QUITO BE A FIGHT
TO A FINISH.

A Washington Cd. CO. special to the
Helena Independent, dated December
Z, says:
The news of the filing of election
contests by republicans who were de-
feated for senators at the last election
in Montana, was received here today
with much interest. Senator Carter
admits that he was fairly and square
ly defeated at the election in Novem-
Der, and knows that a democrat will
be his successor. Senator Carter, how
ever, is laying the foundation for an
other senatorial campaign two years
hence.
The plan which has been mapped
out by himself and managers, is to the
effect that an effort will be made to
seat republican senators who were un-
successful at the polls, but had they
been elected would be in the hold-over
class. He is going to measure swords
with Senator Joseph M. Dixon who will
be candidate for reelection in 1912.
AS all of the republican candidates for
senator were out and out Carter men,
and those who were elected will ma
turally support their chief if demo-
Gratis can be unseated and republicans
take their places, Senator Carter ar
gues that he will have an additional
: advantage over Senator Dixon.
Are Not Friendly.
1t is we'll known in congressional
ter and Senator Dixon are not on the
most friendly terms, either personally
or politically The two have never
been in any sense intimate, as most
senators from the same state usually
are. The breaking point came when
Senator Dixon turned insurgent to-
ward the latter part of the campaign,
and refused to mention Senator Car
ter's name in his speeches.
1t is well konwn in congressional
circles here, as it must be known in
Montana, that Senator Dixon's speech
es, in the last campaign, were not for
immediate consumption, but for the
purpose of building up his senatorial
fortunes for 1912. Carter and Dixon
are seldom seen together They rare
ly consult each other, and only when
necessity demands it.
Senator Carter, it is stated, has Civ
en- expressions, which tend to lead to
the belief that he is determined to de-
feat Senator Dixon two years hence,
at any cost. He believes that Pres
ident Taft will provide him with some
appointment for the intervening two
years, but whatever he may engage
in, he will be Industrious, devoting
much of his time to rehabilitating
himself in the estimation of Montana
voters, with the determination that he
will put Little Joe" to the bad, when
it comes to beating bushes" in the
next contest.

IMPORTANT SESSION SUPREME COURT
SOME CASES Of UNUSUAL INTEREST

Washington d. c., oct. S-The su-
preme court OF the United States will
convene next Monday at noon for one
OF the most important sessions in is
history. During the coming eight
months It viii have TO pass upon cases
profoundly involving the Industrial and
business life Of TIE nation, and this
fact adds importance to the pending
changes In the personnel Of the great
court Occasloned by the death Of Chief
Justice Fuller and Associate Justice
Brewer and the expected retirement
OF Associate Justice Moody. Gov.
Charles r. Hughes Of New York has
been confirmed in the place OF Justice
Brewer. and there appears excellent
reason TO expect that he Will be named
in place OF the Chief Justice, although
Associate Justice Harlan, the senior
surviving member OF the court, has
been much spoken OF for promotion

cludlng Justice Hughes, there will be
three new men on this bench during
the coming session.

make no recess appointments 10 the

ticeship and the place OF Justice
Moody probably will remain vacant un-

II. The series OF corporation-tax
cases were merely restored TO the cal
endar for re-argument. In ordinary
circumstances, this would throw them

expectation is that none Of the three
