Rounding Tattenham corner, Tagalie led
by half a length, with the field in much
the same order as they got away. Two
furlongs from home the filly, still travel

her mercy. August Belmont's Tracery
came through the ruck with a rush, but
Tagalie made the remainder Of the run

A tract Of land on the farm of
Joseph Peltier near Eureka was
leased for period of IS years. A
tool house for storing county tools
and supplies will be built on this
land.
The counry commissioners are
going to prepare a bill and have it
submitted to the next legislature of
the state of Montana to definitely
fix the boundries of Lincoln county.
AS it is at present some of the peo-
pie living in this county are not
able to get to the county seat and
some living in adjoining counties
are similarly situated. Further
more a doubt exists about which
county owns certain parts of the
lower end of what should be Lin
coin county The bill will ask
that the boundries be as follows:
To begin on the 48th parellel at T
26 N. between ranges 26 and Fl w
run along said parellel about six
and one-half miles to the top Of the
Cabinet range, thence southerly
along the top Of the range, thence
westerly still on top Of the range
and thence in a northerly direction
to the Idaho line, follow the Idaho
line back to the international
boundary, thence east to the water
shed of the Kootenai and Saltwater
rivers, then zig -zaging back to the
point of beginning.

BURTON GETS 80 YEARS

The trial of George w. Burton
tor the murder Of Fred Long in
October was concluded at II O. clio. k
last Wednesday morning, when
the case was placed IN the hands of
the jury. Burton was on the wit.

the jury brought in the verdict of
guilty of murder in the second de-

day morning at o:3o Judge J. E.

CONTRACTORS MAKING PROGRESS
ALTHOUGH MEETING DIFFICULTIES

The sewer contractors, Rose &
Reynaud, are making fair progress
with the work of installing the
sewer although they are meeting
with difficulties that are time kill
lers. The ground in the west
part of town has a gravel bottom
and this has a tendency to cave,
making it necessary to put in lag
ging right up to the machine. In
other words when the machine has
dug for a distance of about three
feet it must be stopped and planks
put in the ditch to keep it from
caving in. This condition of af-
fairs is costing the contractors lot
of time and money. They now
have the sewer completed to within
block of Mineral avenue and ex-
pect to get on the avenue this

HON. CLYDE II. TAYENNER
Will Continue as Washington
Correspondent for the
Libby Herald

LaFollette' magazine, edited by
United States Senetor Robert M.
LaFollette, (republicaD pays a
fine compliment to Clyde H. Tav-
enner, who has been acting for
some time past as our special
Washington correspondent, and
who was elected to congress from
the Fourteenth Illinois Dist. Sena-
tor LaFollette, eeiitorially, says:
"Clyde H. Tavenner goes to
congress from the fourteenth Hin
ois district. Tavenner is a talen-
ted young man, and progressive
democrat. AS newspaper cor
respondent at the national capitol,
he earned reputation for integrity
industry and insight into the pro-
blems of government. Given the
choice of two progressive candidates
to represent them, the vo ers sell
ected Tavenner. We believe this
confidence in Tavenner is not mis-
placed. His past performances
give ample assurance of a
creditable record in the house,
against privilege in all forms,
against machine domination, and
for progressive principles.
This endorsement may be ac-
cepted as unprejudiced. because
Senator LaFollette is a republican.
The tact is, Tavenner won almost
solely On the merits of his Wash
ington letters which have appeared
i'll this newspaper, and which we will
continue to publish exclusively in
this territory.
The extent of the magnificent
tribute paid to his work as writer
can be best understood when it is
considered that he won out by L.
200 in a district which is normally
from $500 to 1900 republican,
and which has not been represented
in congress by a democrat in 22
years.
Tavenner did not have both
republican and progressive candi-
date against him, condition which
prevailed in many districts and
which would have made success
easier. His opponent was the re-
gular republican nominee, who
also had the advantage of the
strong endorsement and support of
the progressive party.

MORE AND BETTER ROADS
Will Open Up Mining-Agri-
cultural Section. Pleas
ure Resort Sites

During the past ten DAYS surveys
have been made for one of the most
important of the new roads in Lin
coin county. J. ]. Tetrault with
two helpers has been doing this
work. and when the road is com
pleted three fold purpose will
have been served first, the opening
up of rich agricultural section
containing some of the finest fruit
and agricultural land in western
Montana; second, making Glen
lake accessible for automobile travel
this body of water then becoming
one of the finest resort and outing
spots along the line of the Great
Northern railway; third, it will re-
solve itself into trunk line of
travel to the we'll known Green
mountain trail, the established
route to one of the coming richest
copper mining districts in the west
namely the Copper Kettle, Copper
King and associated groups.
The newly surveyed road cuts off
at the old Frost ranch and then
takes a water grade up Sinclair
creek, proceeding in northeasterly
direction. For three fourths of a
mile all hills are avoided and when
it reaches point within one and
one-fourth miles of Glen lake the
road branches and climbs the foot
hills through virgin timber to the
George Messler place, passing a
group OF valuable claims owned by
Calix Dugas of Eureka.
The possibilities which this new
travelway opens up are incompre-
henslble at the present time, and
any attempt to measure them from
dollars and cents standpoint now
would be utterly futile. The nat
ural wealth of the territory which
it will open up will be greatly en-
HANGED because of the easier access
thereto, and homesteaders, pro-
perty owners and pleasure seekers
will hail the new condition with no
small amount of satisfaction. Fit
