The storm on the mountain is one
Of the worst ever known. There has
been very heavy fall Of snow after
which the wind started blowing,
causing a binding blizzard, which
filled up the cuts as fast az they
were cleared out by the plows. Snow
slides have started coming down
now, and this sets up a new danger.
There were six big slides reported
yesterday. and the Great Northern
officials have abandoned trying to
get any more trains through until
the storm abates.
There have been no trains thru
from the east since Tuesday. and
the trains from the west are turned
around here and sent back.
A bad wreck is also reported in
the Cascades, caused from a snow
slide.
1t is reported that the Northern
Pacific and the Milwaukee are also
tied up in the same way.
When interviewed this morning
Supt. Smith stated that he would
be able to be about in a week or 10
days.
Fireman Hove's condition is re-
ported as not serious.
Brakeman Andrews is also in the
hospital with several bruises and
minor injuries.
Mr.. Ashcroft, one of the rescu-
ing party, was taken to the hospital
last evening on account of having his
feet frozen.
The other members of the injured
party were able to be taken to their
homes for treatment.
A large crew of men are now on
the ground endeavoring to recover
the bodies of Allen and Brulport, who
are supposed to be buried in the
slide.

mains.
A tar-papered shack with a stove
pipe protruding out through the side
wall was reported to have been built
near the city stable, and inasmuch
as having stovepipe instead Of a
chimney is against the ordinance of
the city, and causing danger to sur
rounding property in case of fire,
the chief of police was instructed to
notify the occupants to remove this
stovepipe and replace it with a
chimney.
The question of increasing the
monthly payments into the sinking
fund from $25 to $50 per month
and the advisability of creating a
reserve fund of $500 for the pro-

q serious breakdown or general re-
pair work to the mains was debated
at length. This was considered a
necessity by all memebers of the
council, and as this matter was tax

would have ordinances drafted by

questions.

In the summing up of the years

the railroads large and profitable
traffic, to several almost record
breaking business, and while the
years traffic may not have shown as
great an increase in volume over
1910 as 1910 over 1909, still very
satisfactory gain was made, and the
return in general on this class of in
vestments has left the railroads In
position to get all the money they
may need for extensions and other
improvements. This confidence ON
the part of the big Industrial inter-
ests is shared by manufacturers and
business men generally. The gener-

prosperous homes are to be found in
the west than in the east. The ag-
ricultural and horticultural lands,
the ranges, mines and coal mines,
timber and water power of the west
offer more favorable opportunities to
the traveller and home builder.
The west needs money and men of
the east, and the east needs the
food products and markets of the
west, the interests of the two Sec
tions are mutual, and the cooper
alton between them means a better
and more prosperous nation.
These are the messages conveyed
by the western governors to the per-
pie Of the east. The tour was ambi-
tious in conception, and has been
successfully carried out. and will be

MONTANA TO GET
!. FOREST RESERVE
Lands In Compact Body Win BE
Given in Lieu Of Sections in Ma
tiOnal Forests.

President TAFT and Secretary Of
the Interior Fisher have approved
Of the plan submitted by Gov. Edwin
L. Norris and Attorney General Ca
len for the creation in this state of
a state forest reserve which will en-
brace from four to five hundred
thousand acres of land. This mat
ter Is treated Of in a report made by
Attorney General Galen to the state
board Of land commissioners on the
conference held at Washington ear
ly in December.
Approval Of this plan ends a prob
lem that has vexed the state ever
since the creation of the national
forests. The state has contended
that it was entitled to sections six
teen and thirty-six on the national
forest whether surveyed or unsur-
veyed. and a climax was precipitated
two years ago at Bolton when the
state forcibly asserted its title to a
section of land as a basis for going
into court.
President Concurred.
President Taft concurred In the
views of the Montana officials and
admitted it was only fair to the
state to permit it to select timber
lands of equal value to those it re-
linquished. instead of being forced
to accept grazing or agricultural
lands.
While legislation to secure this
may be necessary, the president d.
rected the officials to go ahead with
the plan and promised that federal
officials will cooperate. Then II
legislation Is found to be needed. he
will support It.
When the state lands to be relin-
quished are appraised and suitable

equal value in . Montana national
forest Is selected. the president will
