AFTER
RURAL ROUTE

Ranchers living south and west Of
the city are making inquiries as to
the possibilities Of getting a RID.
established with this post office. The
proposed route would run south as
far as the Grandview, schoolhouse
and then west to connect with the
saltwater road and return to the
city again from the west. The pos
tai regulations require that q route
shall be ~ miles in length and it
shall serve at least 100 families or
established residences. II the route
be any shorter than that. 75 resi-
dents would be the smallest number
that could be served. Those inter-
ested in the matter are now check
ing up to see II the required num-
Der OF patrons are to be had. and
laying out q route that will serve
the greatest number Of patrons pos
sible.

Columbia Falls surprised many Of

they would be easy pickin's, but
they put up clean and fast game
From the way they played they seem
to be very evenly matched with our

There was good attendance al

WOMAN WORRIED BY
THE STEAM ROLLER
Having Read the Report Of the Liv-

band Met with Horrible Accident.

According to a story that is going
the rounds, says the Great Falls Tri-
bune, the article about the steam
roller flattening them out at Living
ston during the republican ccnveu-
ton there last week caused anxiety
and worry in the mind of at least
one woman who didn't connect the
Steam roller process" with her hus-
bands political activities or with
Mr.. Taft's methods. Accordingly
when on Friday morning it was
printed in big type in the Tribune
that the ''steam roller" had flatten-
ed them out at Livingston. she
feared some accident with a tragic
side had occurred.
She knew the Great Falls contin-
gent was due back at home Friday
afternoon so she decided it would be
no use to telegraph to ascertain
if her husband was one that got the

she finally saw the head of the

the returned delegate. "Why the

George stood irresolutely upon the
steps. A new keyhole! What the
deuce did the agent mean by putting
a new keyhole In the door without
notifying him? As the caretaker never
entered that door, 1t wac all the
agents fault. There was no erea-way
in front, but between Georges house
and the next there was court eight
feet in width, running to the dividing
wall between the bank property and
his own A grille gate protected this
court. George had key. The gate
opened readily enough. His intention
was to enter by the basement-door.
But he suddenly paused. To his
iamazement he saw just below the
library curtain a thin measure OF
light. Light! Some one In the house!
He did the most sensible thing pos
sible: be stood still till the shock left
him. Some one in the house, some
one who had no earthly or heavenly
business there! Near the window
stood a tubbed bay-tree. Cautiously
he mounted this, holding the ledge OF
the window with his fingers. That
he did not instantly topple over with
great noise was due to the fact
that he was temporarily paralyzed..

ALEXANDRIA LABOR NOTES.
Correspondent of Virginia Labor
Journal Writes of Events
Here.

Alexandria is one of the oldest
cities in Virginia, but the labor move
ment here is the newest in the State.
For the first time last year the Trades
Council, which is the representative
labor organization of the city, cele-
brated Labor Day. Though many of
the more conservative of the men,
bers of organized labor questioned
the expediency of attempting cele-
bration at Alexandria, owing to It's
closenesS, with Washington, the ceie-
bration was held nevertheless and
was a success from every point Oh
view. A large crowd, a fine time, and
a financial success as we'll, were the
results. This year the Trades Coun-
ell began work earlier on the ceie-
bration, and with the view OF holding
it on a larger scale. The committee
was delayed, however, due to the TACT
that it was necessary for them to
bring about an adjustment OF olIler-
ences existing between Luna Park,
where the celebration will be held,
and the Local Union of Painters of
Washington, D. c. This matter has
been entirely settled, however, and
the committee is preparing for final
celebration on Labor Day. We feel
that we will have celebration this
wear which will be second to none in
the State. To start with, we have as
fine an array of oratorical talent for
day as will be found at any cele-
alton in the country. The speak
s will be Hon. Richard Evelyn
lrd, Speaker of the Virginia House
Delegates; Mr.. P. j. Conlon, gen

SHOULD PAY DEBTS.

The House is not making very
many friends in Virginia by its stub
born actian in refusing to agree to
the Senate amenments providing fol
the return of $4,000 to the state OF
Virginia. The money is justly due
the State, as has been shown on many
occasions, and its return should not
be longer delayed. But the House
obessed by it's idea of economy, would
rather go before the country with a
record of having saved few thous-
and dollars than to pay debt which
everyone who has looked into the mat
ter knows is honestly due.
Virginia has patiently waited for
the federal government to do what is
right. She does not make claim for
the large amount of interest that is
due on the principal and has further
more agreed to devote the money to
the building of an avenue which in
reality should be constructed by the
United States government.
At this writing it looks as if the
House would win and that the money
will not be secured this year. But
there are many more years to come
and although we may grow little
impatient ultimately the money will
be Forthcoming.
