new BRIDGE WILL
Be THREE FEET HIGHER

The street and alley committee,
instructed at the last council meet
ing to look into the matter of es-
certain height for the
new steel bridge across the White
fish river at the foot Of Second
street, has decided to make It
three feet higher than the old bridge
This will call for considerable ex-
ira filling to bring the street to
grade, but it was thought best to
do this on account of the steep hill
on each side of the bridge. The cost
of making the fill is estimated at
$500 which will be borne by the gen
eral fund, as it is considered ben
efit to the whole city, and then the
cost of matchmaking will be borne
by the property owners on the spec
ial improvement district plan.

CENTER PIER
NOW COMPLETED

2. D. Achey, superintendent of
construction on the new steel bridge,
has the work we'll under way. The
center pier is now completed and
he is ready to pour the concrete in
to the pier on the west bank. The
work of putting in one of these piers
in winter weather involves consider
able extra work to keep the cement
from freezing before it sets. The gray
el and cement being chilled it is nee
essary to heat all the water and then
after the concrete is poured the
forms have to be protected with a
coating of manure. When the piers
are done the hardest part Of the
work will be completed and the steel
work will not take very long.

It WAS A MERRY
CHRISTMAS FOR ALL

Whftefish enjoyed an ideal Christ
mas day. Nature provided the out
side decorations, giving the. whole
valley a rich covering of pure white
and the trees of the forest were
decked out in q regal cloak OF hoar
frost. Sledghing was at it's best and
the livery barns did a good business
all day catering to sleighing par
ties. The night was cold enough to
freeze the skating rink in good
shape and in the afternoon there
was a big crowd cut enjoying the
sport. Many a home was the scene
of a merry Christmas party and the
children in general ali seemed TO be
having glorious time, Santa Claus
having been good to them all. The
Methodist church had its Christmas
tree for the children Monday night.
At the Presbyterian church the ex-
ercises We're held Tuesday night.
On Christmas eve there was high
mass at st. Charles church at mid
night and mass Christmas morn
Ing. The day in general was OBJ
served in a quiet way,there being
total absence of any undue hilarity.
Christmas eve the belated shoppers
crowded the stores and the stock OF
holiday goods was pretty we'll clean
ed out. Some CT the places of bust
ness We're open until after midnight.
Taking it all around Santa Claus

TO COMPEL
RAILROAD PASSES
MEMBER FROM CUSTER COUNTY
GOING 70 INTRODUCE BILL
~ -tt4 ts,
IN THE LEGISLATURE.

Helena, Dec. PA bill compell-
ing railroads to issue passes to state
officials and members of the legis-
lature will be introduced at the COM
ing session by Frank D. O'Neill Of
Custer county. He says:
ANY man who would be bribed by
railroad pasa could be- bought for
the price OF one,." This business Of
serving your constituents ia all very
we'll. but 1t takes you away from
your business 50 that you cannot
even spend a Sunday on your own
private affairs unless you dip into
your pocket TOR your railroad fare
it's not. what call a square deal.
AT present the state pays the ex-
penses Of the legislator coming to
Helena and, returning to his home
from Helena when the, session is
over, hut IT, he returns home any
time during the session, he must pay
his 0wp way. This practically pre-
vents members living at pqints re-
mote from Helena from giving any
attention to private affairs. for few
of them can afford to nay the round
trip fare many times during a ses-
sion. .., ..ts
I'm in favor OF bin compelling
the railroads to issue passes to the
state officials and members OF the
legislature. Making it compulsory up
on the railroads will take away all
taint OF their being issued as havors
but NO matter; any man who would
be bribed by a railroad pass could
be bought for the price CT one.
Il understand the outlook for ap-
preparations for state educational in
stituticns is net very bright; if we
compel the railroads to furnish
transportation to all state officers, a
big saving will be effected and the
state can use that money to some
better purpose.

GOOD SKATING ON THE NEW
RINK,

The skating rink was in pretty
good shape yesterday and in the
afternoon large crowd of men,
women and children enjoyed
splendid time. Percy Robinson, who
has charge of the rink for the
Whitefish Commercial association,
flooded it the night before and the
weather was cold enough to freeze
a pretty fair surface. The Northern
Idaho and Montana Power company
has planted the poles around the
rink and in day or SO will have
twenty-four high power tungsten
lamps strung out, which ought to
make the place almost as light as
day and will no doubt attract lange
crowds every evening.

AHAPPY and PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR TO ALL
PROPOSED WORK IN
GLACIER NATIONAL PARK

The department of the interior
proposes to spend $1S8,60O on the
Glacier National park during the fis-
cal year ending June 3O.1914, If the
amount requested by the secretary
Of the interior is appropriated by
congress. This is an increase Of
$113,600 over the appropriation OF
the current fiscal year. The most
important work planned is as fol-
lows: @
General improvement of the roads,
trails, bridges and telephone lines
and construction of an adequate ad-
ministration building, in which to
transact the local business relating
to the park. The principal construc-
ton work proposed is a stage road
from the old town Of st. Mary past
the west shore of Lower St. Mary
lake to Swiftcurrent river and then
along that stream to Lake McDer-
mott. BY this road visitors can cas-
lily reach Swiftcurrent pass, Grinnell
lake, and Iceberg lake.
Iceberg lake lies at the foot of tow
ering cliffs, and the precipices above
the lake are among the most impos-
ing in the park. All thru the sum-
mer great blocks of ice break from
the glacier that rises 1000 feet
above the lake and crash into the
water. At the upper end Of Grinnell
lake the water from Grinnell glacier
falls over the cliffs with a deafen-
ing noise, and the views from the
lower end Of the lake are beautiful
and inspiring.
For the development and care Of
the national parks the secretary Of
the interior has asked congress to ap
propriate the sum Of $733,014, an
increase Of $605,464 over the ap-
preparations for the current fiscal
year. The national parks constitute
ideal recreation grounds for thou
sands of people. but their develop
ment and use are seriously retard-
ed by the lack of adequate roads and
trails, and until shfficien. money is
appropriated for beginning a COM
prehensive plan Of development the
parks will fall far short of render
ing the important public use for
which they are intended. 1t Is the
intention of the department. to make
the principal places of interest in
the parks more accessible, to render
travelling more comfortable by sprink
ling the roads thruout the dry sea-
son. and to guard the health of the
traveller by the installation of spro-
per water supply and sewerage sys-
tens. The responsibility for the fu-
ture conduct of the national parks
must rest with congress, but the
department feels that the financial
needs Of these reservations should
be clearly presented to congress in
the annual estimates. A comprehen-
sive list of books and magazine art
icles on the national parks has re
Gently been issued by the depart
ment of the interior and may be
obtained on application.

ESSEX WILL NOT
HAVE A SALOON

Essex is not to have a saloon aft
er all. So confident was Mr.. Lewis
that he would be granted license
by the county commissioners that
he went ahead and constructed the
building and had every thing ready
TO move in. The Great Northern put
in one of the strongest plugs against
it, and the residents around there
were not in need of a saloon so the
county commissioners turned the pc
titicn down. The residents of Essex
are now planning on using the place
for a dance hall.

HISTORY OF THE CRIME.
(By Associated Press.I


Boston, Mass, May 21.-The crime
for which Clarence Virgil Thompson
Richeson, at the time of his arrest
pastor of the Emmanuel church OF
Cambridge, was electrocuted today
was the confessed murder of his for
mer sweetheart, nineteen-year-old Avis
Linnell, of Hyannis, a pupil in the
New England Conservatory of Music
in Boston.
The girl stood in the way OF the
minister's marriage to Miss Violet Ed
mands, a society girl and heiress o
Brookline, both through an engage
ment which still existed between tn,
two and because of condition il
which Miss Linnell found herself Tit
girl was deceived into taking poison

given her by Richeson, which she be-
lieved would remedy that condition
and died in her rooms at the Young
Woman's Christian Association, on the
evening of October IA, 1911, On that
day invitations had been issued for
the wedding ceremony which was to
unite Rev. Mr.. Richeson and Miss
Edmands.
AS pastor of small church in the
Cape Cod town of Hyannis two years
before, the handsome and eloquent
minister, then 33 years old, had been
attracted to Avis Linnell, who was an
exceptionally pretty girl of II years.
She lived with her parents, her father
Edgar Linnell, being a contractor and
builder. 1t was her ambition to be-
come a teacher and she was attending
the State Normal School at Hyannis.
Miss Linnell Joined Richeson's
church, was baptized by him and be-

In a short time, early in 1909, Miss
Linnell was displaying diamond ring
and confided in her girl friends that
she was to be married to the minister
the following October. Abandoning
her plan of becoming a school teacher
Miss Linnell began preparations for
her wedding. Some Of her trousseau
was completed and the two paid a
visit to Rev. Edward S. Cotton OF
Brewster, who was asked to officiate
at the ceremony.
Friction developed between Richie
son and his deacons in June, 1910
over the young minister's impetuous
manner and his violent language
There was also a question as to the
loss of $50 in money which had been
left by parishioner in the pastors
study. The minister declared he had
been robbed of the money. SHORTY
afterward 1t was learned he had sent
similar sum by money order from

The mating season is the last part
Of January and the first part of Feb
ruary. and the pups are born some
time in April. Then it is necessary
to separate h male from the fe-
male and the young mes for he is
very jealous and will crowd into the
nest aud more than likely crush
some of the pups to death. l do not
believe. as some do. that the male
maliciously kills the pups. We keep
the males in separate cages until the
puppies are able to run about by
themselves
Extreme care must he taken dur
ing the mating season not to fright
en- the foxes in any way. If / should
go to my own farm during the mat
ing or breeding season ] would not
go inside the Enclosure. The animals
would know the presence of a strang-
or immediately, and it might mean
thousands of dollars of loss. for the
pups will some day sell for from ST.
800 to s3.5OO."
The man who takes care of IL fox
farm must live right on il and be out
among the animals in all kinds of
weather. He usually occupies a bun
galow near the Enclosure. where he
can guard the only entrance and he
handy for trouble. If he changes an
article of clothing which the animals
can see. and will be frightened away
into their logs and houses until they
are sure that the change means no
harm to them. For this reason the
managers of farms usually wear Il
uniform of some sort.
The young foxes live on milk for
the first three months and the older
ones are fed rabbits, beef. sheep. and
eggs. In the wild state they catch
mice and sometimes rob birds nests.
The food is not placed i'll troughs.
but is left somewhere within the
carelessly. The fox likes to look for
it himself. and the mother wants TO
take it to her young in her mouth.
According to government reports.
there are only a few dozen genuine
black fox skins obtained in North
America each year in the wild state,
and there is great demand for the
skins in Europe.
AS the black puppies usually fall a
prey to the red females in the wild
state. the market is almost depend
tivity. a farm of twenty pairs of
grown foxes should produce from 40
to 60 puppies in a year.
Foxes must not he oVerfcd. and the
keep of a single animal ought to av-
crage not more han a cent and Il
half a day.
Charts issued by the United States
department of agriculture show that
parts of Maine. the states bordering
and the Rocky mountains and Pacific
states are suitable for fox raising.
though the best climate is a cold
