The third action to prevent the city
of Helena from selling it's water bonds
has been instituted in the federal
court here recently by Senator Muffly,
who is mine operator for the Broad
water Company. Muffly asserts that
if the city diverts the water he will
have to close his properties. He is the
owner of rights subsequent to those
of the city. At recent election bonds
were authorized for the purpose of in
stalling municipal plant.
Following the successful effort of
the Canadian Pacific trainmen recent
ly to obtain an increase in wages, 5000
mechanics employed by that road in
the shops between Fort William and
Vancouver have presented demands
for ten per cent. increase in pay.
A general conference of all the COM
mittees representing the men of the
entire system has been called here for
Thursday and the officials of the vari-
GUS divisions of the road will meet
with them to discuss schedules. The
machinists demand 46 cents an hour
with an eight-hour day. Othere classes
of labor affected are the blacksmiths,
car repairers and boilermakers. APP
parently the men are confident that
they will succeed in their demands.
Two years ago the machinists lost a
disastrous strike after five weeks of
idleness.
The negotiations for the loan of $780,
100000 to China by an American group
of financiers have reached final
stage, all points at issue having been
agreed upon. 1t is expected that an
imperial edict sanctioning the loan
will be issued this week.
The loan was first projected as an
American enterprise purely, and was
originally sought by the Chinese for
political purposes. The agreement now
reached provides that foreign banking
groups of the United States, England,
equally, and the financial adviser to
the Government in the matter of the
use of the loan shall come from a
neutral European state
1t is announced that DR.. Douglas
Mawson, professor geology, who &C
companied the Shackleton antarctic
expedition two years ago, will start in

1t is understood that the work on
the irrigation project between Camp
Crook, S. D., and Alzada, Mont, on the
Little Missouri river, by which 10000
acres of desert land will be reclaimed
will commence next month. The pro
! ject takes in a stretch of land in Mon
tana reaching from a point about ten
miles northeast of Alzada, where the
diverting dam is to be located down
the river as far as Sand Creek, almost
to the South Dakota line.
An automatic speed indicator fol

The spring rush to Alaska is on a
month earlier than usual. The last
three sailings have had all passenger
and freight accommodation taken and
all indications now are that all rec
ords will be broken, including the
great rush to Nome in 1900 Taken
all in all it will not be surprising if
$4,000 persons travel into the great
northern territory this season, and the
| gold output for 1911 will undoubtedly
be larger than in any other year in
Alaska's history.

50, 900 barrels and the third for SO,OOO barrels.
 The question was asked as to the cheapness of manufacture as compared to the cost of manufacture at ROOse- welt. by which plant the government is known to have saved hundreds of thousands of dollars over the prices quoted for cement brought from out side points. The reply was that the company expects to manufacture it's product a great deal cheaper than the government did. In the first place it's plant is on the railroad where fuel oil can be delivered at a minimum price while the government had to pay for the long wagon road haul from Mesa City. The Arizona company has to bring it's lime and clay from Win kelman which is a considerable haul for heavy tonnage. but it has secured freight rates that with easy quarrying and loading. it is said enables the com pany to lay these commodities down at the plant for less money than the government transported its raw ma terials from the clay banks near ROose- welt. some two or three miles by the little electric tram road
 But the company does not expect to cOnfine it's operations solely to the making of cement. It proposes to furnish also the sand and gravel re- quired in general concrete work and is we'll equipped to do so through the fact that there are immense sandbars and gravel pits in the river bed with in stones throw of the plant By the installing of a big rock Crusher they will be in a position to supply all the materials needed in cement and concrete work and in road building, which will doubtless be given a great deal of attention in these parts in the next few years.

PUSHING WORK ON
 NEW CEMENT PLANT
WILL BE READY FOR OPERATION
 IN DECEMBER.
Already There is a Notable Demand
 For Its Product.

The Arizona Portland Cement Co. has called stockholders meeting to be held at the plant midway between Phoenix and Tempe on october :. This is something of a novelty but one pur- pose of it is to get the stockholders out for an inspection of what is being done in the equipment of their prop erty. Another rather novel feature is that the stockholders meetings are all to be open" That means not only open to stockholders but to anyone else interested. for the company proposes to conduct its business in sucn a way that there will be no secrets the pub lie may not share in.
 The work of equipping the plant is now going forward rapidly after much dragging and delay in the earlier stag es of development and it is hoped that II will be ready for operation early in December, but certainly not later than January l. The foundations are now practically all in and the machinery of the government plant bought at Roosevelt has been on the ground for a long time. The heavy parts of it are now being set in place An addi- tional purchase of s17,OOO worth of new machinery has been made. 1t is all constructed and much of it is on the road. It will be placed as soon as possible after arrival
 The company has a capital stock of s1.0O0.0OO of which over 52O.OO shares have been sold. The management says 1t has now been sufficiently financed to insure the completion and ptratiOn of the plant. It's capacity will be about 400 barrels of cement per day About thirty men are now at work in construction and when the plant is running about forty men will be em- ployed altogether. part of them at the plant and part of them at the clay and lime quarries near Winkelman.
 What makes the company so con fident of success is the two important factors, market and cheap manufac- ture. In respect of the former the use of cement in this valley is in creasing with wonderful rapidity It IS now utilized to some extent in all manner of construction work to say nothing of the hundreds of miles of ditches that all need cementing some good day. and the Phoenix building boom is demanding a large tonnage But that is not all In all parts of Arizona cement and concrete work is becoming the order of the day and with cheap production rad price, the limit of the demand cannot be seen. The company already. before pound has been made has been asked to quote figures on three large orders from Arizona points outside of this valley. One is for 3O,0O0. another for

cast in their all there-they are pray ing for relief to the secretary of the interior. and their prayer, at least, though there is an impression in well-informed circles in Phoenix that ''the prayer of the righteous availeth much" There is no doubt that the opening of the Indian reservation sur rounding Parker, and the consequent boom which the investors in the tOwnsite had every reason to expect, in agricultural and other productions if nothing else, has been delayed be- wound the expected if not the prom ised time.
 The prayer of the petitioners is as follows. and is pretty plain:
 Parker. Ariz., Sept. 2S. 1911. Honorable w l. Fisher,
 Secretary Dept of the Interior,
 Washington. D. c.
 Honorable Sir:
 The people of Parker Arizona, again appeal to your department to postpone date of final payment for lots purchas- ed in May 1910; and beg to say that the same conditions now apply as last year, whcih warranted the government in pOstpOning payment at that time. We believe the conditions are even worse now and that many people would have to forfeit their claims to the government because they absolute ly can not borrow money at this time. It would be a great hardship on many pioneer settlers who have come here and invested their all and lived the best that they could in articipa- ton of the early opening of these lands to settlement, as there is no other source Of income in sight.
 They reply on the final action of your department to open these lands at an early date and that the government will not demand final payment on their lots until conditions assume some reli- able status.
 An early favorable reply will greatly relieve the people and any information regarding the opening of these lands will be greatly appreciated.
 Very respectfully,
 Parker Board of Trade,
 c. C. DUNN. Pres.
 R. c. SAUFLEY, Sec'ty.
