HELP BOOST
FOR HARLOW
Some More Of the Reasons Why
We Should Boost for
HarIOWt0n.

Z. When the town of Harlowton
was located. it was the terminal Of
the Montana Railroad CO. After
ward the road was extended to
Lewistown. All of the town was
north of that Railroad, which
then run on the bench about
where the News Office is at pre-
sent.
In the Summer of 1907, a fire
destroyed all of the business part
of the town. The Milwaukee hav-
ing bought the Montana Railroad,
had moved into the valley one
half mile south of it's old location,
or where il is at present. The
town had a season of building
activity, some thinking the old
part of the town would always be
the best location, while others dc
termined to build nearer the depot.
That is the reason that the busi--
ness district of the town covers SO
much territory.
This really was Of great benefit
to the town. At present it would
almost be impossible for one fire
to destroy the business portion OF
it, which makes fire insurance
rates less than if all the business
houses were in one range. Conse-
quently the town is not as hard to
protect against fire. For fire protec-
ton we have first chemical
engine. This was bought by the
citizens, but before it was delivered
I the town was incorporated and the
council decided to take it off the
citizens hands. This engine has
paid for it's purchase many times
in putting out fires. 1t was put in
charge of B. B. Blethen, who took
the best of care of it and always
had it in good working condition.
The town has installed d good
water system. They have we'll on
the hill north of town, that is six
hundred feet deep. The water
comes up to within one hundred
feet of the surface. They have Il
gasoline engine aud a pump that
throws about eighty gallons to the
minute. The water is pumped into
reservoir, concrete lined, that
holds two hundred and fifty thou
sand gallons. enough Of water to
fight fire with four streams, one
inch noMles, for four hours.
The water is conducted into
the town in eight inch mains. The
pressure for fighting fire is 80 lbs
at the State Bank and thirty five
lbs. at the Graves Hotel. This il
not enough of pressure for goot
fire fight ting stream, but the coun
Gil, as soon as the town is in bette
financial shape, intends to install ;
+. pressure pump at the reservoir tt
q give seventy five lbs. of pressure
n at the nozzle. This will make al
, good a fire protection as we viii
Y want i'm the town.
,f These conditions invites people
q into our town to make investments
!. as they are insured with good fire
e protection.

TO LIGHT MOUTH OF RIVER.
Powerful Acetylene Beacons to Re-
place Oil Lights.

Powerful Acetylene Beacons to Re-
place Oil Lights.
Portland-Buoying and lighting up
the entrance to the Columbia river
with powerful acetylene beacons so
that vessels may cross in and out at
night as easily as in the day, will be
undertaken and pushed to a successful
conclusion by the government as soon
as the necessary material can be
turned out in Eastern factories and
shipped from the Atlantic Coast.
Recommendations submitted some
time ago by Henry L. Beck, inspector
of the Seventeenth district, that this
should be done, have been approved
and the latter was advised of the ia
vorable action taken by the officials at
Washington. Besides there will be a
general shifting about of many of the
present aids and when the task has
been completed it is believed there
will be no more safe entrance to a
harbor in the world than that at the
mouth of the Colubmia.
The project calls for the substitu-
ton of two acetylene range lights,
each of 5000 candle-power, for the oil
lights of only Is candle-power which
have been made to answer the pur-
pose. The new and modern range
lights will occupy the same positions
as the old ones.
Outside the entrance a powerful
acetylene gas and whistling buoy will
be established. 1t will be placed on
the range line and in about 80 feet of
water.
On the bar another acetylene and
gas buoy will be established just in
side the first line of breakers. Then
there will be bell buoy on the range
line south of Sand Island, which has
been the scene of number of wrecks.
Inside there will be lighted gas
buoy placed near the present position
of No. buoy.

testing against the adverse report of
Major Kutz regarding the opening of
the upper Columbia river, and asking

: REYES ON WAY TO DOOM.
General Heavily Guarded on Trip to
Mexican Capital.

Monterey, Mex. Heavily guarded
on his way to the capital to answer to
the charge of sedition, General Ber-
nardo Reyes is being hurried south
ward through towns the inhabitants
of which have been kept in ignorance
of his passage.
So nicely was his departure from
Linares timed that only small por-
ton Of the population was aware Of
it, and in Monterey, his old home,
possible trouble was averted by routing
his car around the city.
That President Madero probably
will not insist upon the death penalty
for Reyes and his followers was shown
in the capital, when the father Of
David Reyes Retana obtained execu-
tive clemency for his son. Young
Retana was prominent lawyer here
until he took up the fight with Reyes.

STEEL SCHEDULE FIRST.
House Leaders Plan Revision Work
After Recess.

House Leaders Plan Revision Work
After Recess.
Washington, D. C.-Revision of the
iron and steel schedule will be the
first thing on the tariff legislative
program of the house after congress
convenes.
Representative Underwood, chair
man of the ways and means commit
tee, made it known on his return that
the committee would postpone consid-
GRAFTON of the wool schedule until
every feature of the tariff boards re-
port on the subject had been studied
thoroughly. In the meantime it will
press its work on other tariff meas
ures, with view to adjournment in
time for the national conventions.
After the introduction and consider
alton of the steel schedule the Demo-
cratic leaders contemplate presenting
to the house a revised chemical sched-
ule and sugar tariff bill. 1t also is
DOSSlOlC Cl0t a VOIVOA 0NA4OAAAO Will OO
submitted with the wool bill, depend
ent, of course, upon the report of the
tariff board. This is not expected till
late next month. If cotton is not in
cluded in the wool bill, it will be SUBJ
mitted as soon afterwards as possible.
Determination of the house Demo-
cratic leaders to delay the wool bill is
calculated to have an effect upon the
purpose of the Republican members of
the ways and means committee who
are drafting wool schedule based
upon the tariff boards report. They
are fastening, with the cooperation
of the White House, to complete this
bill and to urge it upon the floor of
the house.
If the Democratic bill is not submit
ted soon, it is probable the Republic
can bill will be withheld.

evidences That $500. 900. 900 Nor
ger Was Once Considered.
Chicago Details Of the plan for
$500, 900, 900 merger Of the Armour.
Swift and Morris interests in 1902, BY
which, the government contends. it
was sought to control the meat indus
try Of the country, we're revealed in
the trial of ten Chicago packers be-
fore United States District Judge Car
penter. The contract which was
dated May 81, 1902, was read to the
iury and offered in evidence by coun-
sci for the government.
The original agreement was pro-
duced in court by Albert II. Veeder,
attorney for Swift & Co., who was
called by the government as its first
witness.
Attorney Veeder testified that the
plan for the giant merger was aban-
doned and that in March, 1903, the
National Packing company was organ
lied, to operate certain Independent
packing companies purchased with a
view of including them in the big
company.
Under the terms of the agreement,
the three large packing corporations
and their subsidiary companies, to-
gether with recently acquired indie
pendent companies, were to be merged
| into one giant concern, Armour, Swift
and Morris to receive bonds and pre-
ferred stock of the new company for
the value Of their tangible property.
In addition to this the promoters
were to receive $zt, 100000 worth of
the new company's stock for intangi-
BILE property and large block Of COM
mon stock for their good will, this
amount to be fixed by the earning of
the different plants in the first year
of the new merger.
The promoters planned to borrow
800, 900, 900 to finance the giant cor
poration. The appraised valuation of
Armour, Swift and their subsidiary
companies was given at $3.50, 600, 900.
Each of the three promoters deposited
81, 900, 900 with Chicago bank as an
evidence of good faith, but they were
compelled to drop the plan because of
the failure of certain New York cap
italists to furnish the funds needed.
Veeder admitted that the packers
had an organization which met every
Tuesday afternoon in room near his
law Office and that his son, Henry
Veeder, acted as secretary in 1900,
1901 and 1902. He did not know the
name of the association and did not
know what was the business trans
acted at the meetings.
