/ Glendive had good electric light
and telephone plant before. but
since the enlargement of the plant,
it is one that is certainly a credit to
the Gate City. Besides furnishing
light, heat, and telephone service.
the Hughes Electric company has
been pumping the city water for
several months, and giving very sat
isfactory service.
The growth Of the city in wealth
and prosperity has been evidenced
by the great number OF new auto
mobiles which have been brought
here within the past few months. As
all these machines require repairs at
times, 1t was for this purpose that
W. Ell. Frank bnilt the Gate City
Garage. He employs expert work
men and handles all classes Of work;
as we'll as dealing in machinery Of
very many classes.
At the east end Of the Yellowstone
bridge is located the Morse House,
a new hotel which was recently
completed by J. A. Morse, the pro-
prietor. At present it has cafe in
connection, and has fine business
built upon the efficient service it has
given its patrons. Farmers and
others from out OF town especially
comment upon the homelike air Of
this neat little hostelry.
Glendive has . goodly number Of
devout and enthusiastic religious de-
nominations. This was recently evi-
denced when the new Methodist
church was completed at cost Of
some $25, 900. The old building was
entirely too small for the constantly
growing congregation. 90 the mem
bership went to work with will,
and this splendid new architectural
triumph is the result Of their efforts.
The newcomers TO the city and
the constantly increasing population
in the country tributary last year
necessitated the securing Of more
room for postoffice facilities. So the
government advertised for bids for
furnishing building for a term Of
years. The contract was secured by
Douglas. Mead & Co., and the build
ing erected has trebled the amount
OF space formerly used for postofflce
purposes. The efficient force in the
office, headed by Postmaster Soren-

Standard Loses Before High Court

Washington, May 19.-The gov
ernment today won its case in The
United States supreme court against
the Standard Oil company Of New
Jersey, in that i is conspiracy and
monopoly in restraint of trade. The
decree Of the lower court was
affirmed, being modified in partieu-
lars which Chief Justice White said
were slight. Justice Harlan announ-
ced a dissenting opinion.
At 4 o'clock Chief Justice White
began to deliver the opinion of the
court. It was Chief Justice White
who had lent his voice to the refusal
Of the court to dissolve the so-called
sugar trust when the famous Knight
case was before the court. He also
delivered dissenting opinion when
the Northern Securities company
was dissolved by the court as being
in violation Of the Sherman anti
trust law.
On the Knight case the Standard
Oil depended largely for support; on
the majority opinion in the North
ern Securities case the government
had founded much of its hope.

Replacing Millions OF Ties

The Northern Pacific is this
Spring replacing ties all over the
system in accordance with it's annual
program Of roadbed improvement
Each Spring. II percent Of the ties
along the line are replaced with
new ones, and this Spring there is
being put in on all divisions q total
Of 2, ,645, ,588 ties.
The Company has at Brainerd,
Minnesota, a tie treating plant
where are subjected to a preserving
process all of the ties used with the
exception Of tamarack and red oak
ties. This treating process consists
in soaking the tie with ereosote and
other chemicals, which lengthens
the life Of the tie by approximately
five years. IN the case Of the
tamarack and red oak ties, the
texture of the wood is such as to
prevent the treating process from
taking" and these ties naturally
have the maximum lease of life.
The total renewal Of ties or the
system is II percent, and the prac-
tiee of the Northern Pacific is to
make this renewal each year, with
the result that every eight years,
approximately, the ties on the
system are entirely renewed.
A vast amount Of rock and
gravel ballast is also being
placed on the right Of way, espe-
cialls in North Dakota and eastern
Montana. Widening Of right Of way
preparatory to constructing douAde
track is also being pushed rapidly
in those sections east of the Rocky
Mountains where the system is not
already double tracked. Of it's total
mileage between Saint Paul, Duluth
and the Pacific Coast, the Northern
Pacific now has in daily use, a total
Of 500 miles Of double track and
1047 Of alternate line. 455 miles
between Saint Paul, Seattle and
Portland are equipped with electric
automatic block signals

gress of the United States and Is now

ton, signed by the respective officers

THE DEMOCRATIC ATTITUDE.

Representative W. A Ashbrook, of
the Newark, o., District, and Secretary
to the Democratic Congressional eau
Gus, was interviewed while at home on
various topics of National interest, and
said with reference to pensions:
while the last Congress failed to
do many things the people were de-
manding. yet to my mind nothing is
to be more regretted than the failure
TO pass the Sulloway BILL making sub
stantial Increases under the age law.
This bill passed the House almost
unanimously, but on the fatal last night
1t was killed in the Senate If we can
believe the current general report. re-
sponslbility can be directly traced to the
President, who opposed the bill and
threatened 10 veto it If the Senate
passed it. To save the President this
embarrassment, Senator Lodge killed
the bill.
THE old soldiers the country over
are greatly disappointed, as they should
be. Had the Sulloway bill become a
law. very Little pension legislation
would be required in the future, and
the old veterans as rule were we'll
pleased.
The bill, or similar bill, will be
introduced. and, 1 hope, passed in the
present Congress. In the meantime,
more than hundred per day will fall
by the way while a great nation enjoys
the benefits of their sacrifices, and re-
fuses to give them enough to end their
days free from want / expect to con-
tinue my efforts in their behalf, and
share their disappointment over the
temporary defeat of a just bill"

Republican members upon the plea that
they were lukewarm in the interests of
the veterans. All these young Demo-
Gratis are anxious to Justify themselves
10 the veterans who have cast their
votes for them, and promote their own
reelection by doing something note
worthy in the way of pension legisla-
ton. The field of success for Gen.
Sherwood is therefore white for the
harvest
The Committee on Invalid Pensions,
of which Gen. Sherwood is the head,
is an excellent one, and all most favor

ton. The Republican members will

Bradley. NJ B. Thistlewood and
Charles e. Fuller, of the old COM
mittee, and who were especially active
in framing the Sulloway bill and push
ing it thru. The Democratic majority
of the committee is composed of such
men as George H. Lindsay, of New
York, and Carl C. Anderson. of Ohio,
who are enthusiastic friends of the
veterans.
Therefore, Gen. Sherwood will un-
doubtedly lose no time in calling his
committee together, formulating Il good
bill and urging it upon the attention of
this session of Congress. No one knows
better than Gen. Sherwood how in
tenseIv important this is 1t is mat
ter of actual life and death to hun
dreds of thousands of his comrades all

ntpt than ever he commanded viii be

port of "a bill. Before the House can
be gotten to take action a bigger bri-
gade than fought at Franklin or Nash

that Gen. Sherwood will keenly feel
the urgency of this matter, and we
look to him for the utmost diligence.
We can assure him that The National
Tribune will be his active and unfailing
assistant in whatever good work ne in

FLORIDA CLIMATE AND PRICES

Miles T. Rice, Orlando, Fla, writes
to the Allegheny, Pa, Reporter, that
he is disappointed in Florida, and he
says:
Now, how is this for local prices:

carrots, five cents; one head of cab
base, five cents; Strawberries twenty
five cents a quart basket; have been
fifty cents basket; sweet potatoes
one dollar bushel; hay s1.60 hun

milk, ten to fifteen cents a quart; but
ter, forty cents pound and other
products in proportion. Oranges and
grapefruit are cheap. Now for real es-
tate; it is cheap, until it gets in the
hands of some man who understand
advertising. To raise crops you have to
fertilize and irrigate. Two men told
me that some of the best land might

THE NEW CHAIRMAN.

While not having favored the selection
of General Sherwood for Chairman Of
the Committee on Invalid Pensions. we
heartily congratulate him upon his
appointment to a place where he can
be of inestimable service to his COM
rades. General Sherwood is a soldier
of fine RECORD. He went out in the
hree months service in the 14th Ohio,
and then became First Lieutenant and
Adjutant of the 111th Ohio, was pro-
moted to- Lieutenant-Colonel of his
regiment hnd was breyetted Brigadier-
General for gallantry. Running as an

publican district. largely upon his rep
reservations that Congress was remiss
in it's duties toward the veterans. and
Nlat hsswas in favor of marked in
Msase n Che Nations liberality toward
fts for Der soldiers. With his election
50 yeaFsi ago this makes his fourth
term inaOongress. and he is consequent
ly highly experienced legislator and
knows all the arts by which legislation
is secured. Therefore he has a quite
unusual faculty for bringing to success
all that he wishes to have done for his
comrades.
He. secured his appointment as Chair
man by representing to his fellow
Democrats that he was thoroly in ac-
cord with the veterans and could frame
a bill which would satisfy them and
bring them over to the support of the
Democratic Party.
Other circumstances make the situa-
ton much more favorable to his sue

by any Chairman of his committee for
many years. The present great ma

The Burden ON the States.
(From the Aurora Ull.) Daily Beaco,

y
The Federal tax paid for pensions is
not perceived OF if perceived at all is
not objected to, but local tax levied
to maintain a poor fund presses equally
upon all classes, the needy as well as
the opulent, and is a grievance to most
everybody.
No member of Congress having a
heart the size of nutmeg should hesi-
tate one moment TO bestOw as merit
ed reward what is honestly due as a
vested right rather than to correspond
ingly give as matter of charity. 1t is
costing the people of Kane County up
wards of $4,000 per annum-to supply
to its ex-soldiers what the Federal Gov
ernment should cheerfully pay as q
debt. II paid by that Government, the
taxes would come indirectly from the
rich and pass Immediately from the
hands of those who receive it into the
local channels of business.

THE .UHnrN on THE sTATEs

In confirmation of what we have said
about the SulIeway bill being relief
to the States is the following editorial
in the Aurora CID Daily Press:
The failure OF the Sulloway pension
bill will press somewhat upon the tax
payers of Illinois, because, under the
laws of that State, the State Supervis-
ors are obliged to honor the requisi-
tions of the Relief Committee of the G..
A. r., and it is not at all likely that
many of them will refrain from the
exercise of their legal right, notwith-
standing the humiliation it throws upon
those whom the Nation should take
delight in bestowing a merited reward.
And still we have the precedent of a
Roman General who, after having won
a hundred battles for the Romans, was
sentenced to beggary and compelled to
submit to having both of his eyes
gouged out Why did not Congress
please give Belisarius a penny?
