EUREKA NEWS NOTES.

The visit last Friday Of E. A. Wilson
of Great Fails, assistant agricultural
agent of the Great Northern railway,
marked the inception of one of tbs great
est advertising campaigns in Tobacco

was to gather samples of forage crops for
the Great Northern exhibit cars and for

WORK RESUMED
ON LIBBY BRIDGE
Bond House Hands Over
$l25,00O for Roads and
Bridges and County Commits
sioners Get Busy.

Lincoln county now has the use
and disposition of the road and
bridge bond money, which the peo-
pie gave such an overwhelming
endorsement at the polls last fall.
The bond buyers, N. w. Halsey
& Co. of Chicago, sent a telegra m
last Thursday that the money had
been deposited to the credit of this
county with the Chicago cores
pondent of the First National bank
of Libby.
On Monday the three members
OF the board of county commission.
ers met in Libby with Messrs.
Whitlock and Sears of the Coast
Bridge company, who have the
contract to build the bridges across
the Kootenai. In view of the re-
ports of further litigation in the
way of an attack upon the validity
OF the contract, it was decided to
pay the company outright the cost
of the bridge at Libby, and the
payment was accordingly made.
The company has already CON-
pleted the piers, at an estimated
cost of $12, 900, and is under bond
for $35,o 900 to the county to CON-
plete the structure.
A number of the bridge building
crew arrived Saturday and work
has been resumed. The faise work,
which was removed at the time the
injunction was served, will be re-
placed, and meanwhile the ap-
proaches are being built. Tele
graphic orders were sent in for the
steel, which has already been cut,
and it will now be fabricated at the
works and within sixty days it will
be on the ground and ready to
place in position in the, bridge, so
that this fall will see the bridge at
Libby completed and ready for use
by the public.
The availability of the $125.ooo
for roads and bridges is decidedly
good news for the people of the
county generally, for it will be the
beginning of a movement for IN
ternal development which will do
more to open up our county than
any other one thing. The trunk
line highway, with convenient
crossing places over the Kootenai
river by substantial steel bridges
free to ALL is now assured,
and with system Of feeders to
connect with the main artery built
upon a comprehensive plan, many
people will be attracted to our
midst and the country will grow in
wealth and population at an amaz-
ing rate.
Let the good work go on.

WILL ORGANIZE
BULL MOOSE PARTY
State Convention to Be Held
Monday, July 49,, at Helena.
Expect to Put in Complete
State and County Tickets.

While the republicans in some
states shy at the proposition to let
this Bull Moose party business go
any further than to take fall out
of Taft, it is probable that Mon
tana will go down the line in favor
of new party and not play a
double dealing game in state and
county Offices. At meeting of
progressive held at Helena a few
days ago, at which twelve coun-
ties were represented, it was de-
cided to call a mass convention
to meet at Helena OH July 20 to
select delegates to the Roosevelt
convention at Chicago in August.
At the Helena meeting on the
2oth, it will be decided whether
state and county tickets shall also
be put in the field besides the pres-
dental electors. Editor Jas.
Metcalfe of the Glendive Review,
who is secretary of the preliminary
organization, probably forecasts
the action of the progressives when
he made the following statement:
1--WE should have complete
ticket from presidential electors to
constable in every county in the
state, and l think we will. 1t is
absurd for the new party to merely
content itself with nominating
presidential electors. If anything
is to be done for Dixon, the legis-
lature will have to be looked after
and if we go that far we should
nominate complete tickets.
~ have always been a Republi-
can, but l am not any more, and
| think that it is foolish to argue
that we can work with the old or
ganization as far as state and coun-
ty tickets are concerned"
The pie eaters and prospective
pie eaters of the republican per-
suasion will very likely fight this
proposition for all they are worth,
for they see in this movement
serious danger of the disappear
ance of the whole pie. But, Just
the same, if there is any principle
involved i'll this third party scheme
they will have to become dis
tinct political organization from
top to bottom.
If the pie eaters win their con-
tention and the third party is to be
only temporary affair as to the
head of the ticket, what situation
the spellbiuders will be in when
the campaign wakes warm. The
Roosebelters and the Taftites will
lanbast each other on principle
and then invite the voters to sup-
port all other candidates regardless
if he be standpatter or progress.
i've. The straddlebugs will make
themselves the laughing stock of
the nation. If there is a principle
involved in the election of Taft VS..
Roosevelts, why is there not a
principle involved in the election
of standpat or progressive con-
gresham or a United State senator,
The same may be said of legisla-
tive candidates.
In other words, the program of
republicans in many states resolves
itself into the plea that for the
office of president great principle
is at stake, but for all other offices
it is question of getting to the pie
counter.

as he had welcomed their coming.
There were two kinds of ways
tor president to get along with
the house of representatives, the
governor said. One way was not to
keep in intimate touch with it's
members, but to be concerned in
its deliberations only. That would
not be his way, if he had the
chance. He greeted them today
as his partners and comrades in a
sol",nn duty which they all owed
the American people.
1t seems to me that the real
difficulty of politics in our modern
days is that men have not laid their
minds alongside one another in
