WILL PASS TARIFF BILL
Democratic Leaders Assured OF Nee

Democratic Leaders Assured OF Nee.
essary Number of Votes
Washington, Sept. g. The demo
cratic tariff revision bill late tonight
was reported to the senate from tile
committee of the whole. Passage OF
the bill Monday night or Tuesday was
predicted by senators on both sides.
Though great progress was made
on the tariff bill, administration lead
ers say that a vote today on the meas
ure was impossible. Final debate will
come next week and there is strong
probability of a vote Monday night.
A continuous session was held, how
ever, until late tonight to get the bill
out of committee.
1t was made almost a certainty to-
day that the democratic radical revl-
sion biQ would be passed as it now
is framed, after four months of dis
cussion in the senate. Confident OF
solid democratic support, except for
the votes of Senators Ransdell ana
Thornton of Louisiana, who bolted on
free sugar, the democratic leaders
were given additional ground today
to hope for support from some of the
progressive republicans. A few days
ago when the vote of democratic
senator was reported to be in doubt,
one of the leading supporters of the
administration asserted it made no
difference what his colleague did, the
party had assurance of support from
the minority. Some of the leaders to-
night predicted the bill would pass
with majority of four or five votes.

GLACIER NATIONAL PARK:
new Summer Resort Visited by
Thousands Of Tourists.

There is a big crowd of tourists in
the Glacier National Park, according
:" io2al residents who recently re.
tdriitd from visit to that popular
SIMMER resort. Tie attractions of
the park have been advertised exteu-
s1vely by the Great Northern Railway
company, and the result is on influx
or tourists considerably in excess of
the number for which preparation had
been made. The hotel accommoda-
tions and transportation facilities
We're heavily overtaxed. Additional
buildings are bing constructed and
other improvements being made at the
various camps, and next season these
will be ready for visitors.
Most of the tourists begin their sight
seeing trip at the eastern entrance to
the park, where the new Glacier Park
hotel is located. The hotel is a
unique specimen of the rustic style
or architecture, similar in many re-
spects to Old Faithful inn, of the
Yellowstone park, but of more finished
appearance. The immediate sur
roundings Of the hotel are not par.
ticularly attractive as it is several
miles from the mountains, but it is
a convenient starting point for St.
Mary's lake and other scenic attrac-
tons Of the park.
An imposing archway composed
principally of big cedar logs forms
an entrance to the hotel grounds, and
upon. the latter are about dozen
large Indian tepees, some of which
are used as rooms for guests when
the hotel is overcrowded. The tepees
are of new material, and are intended
principally for advertising purposes.
Among the hotel attendants is a
tall, well-built buck Indian, who
boasts the picturesque name of Chief
Big Top. He was educated at Fort
Shaw, speaks and writes excellent
English, and is a good mixer. Big
Tops principal function is to accom-
modate visitors by posing for his
photograph, his attire consisting of
finely colored Indian blanket, with
head-dress of feathers and other par
aphernalia.
Passenger trains Nos. 3 and stop
fifteen minutes at Glacier Park station
to enable through travellers to inspect
the hotel. Chief Big Top meets each
of the trains and acts as guide for
the passengers during their few min
utes' visit, at the expiration of which
he hikes back to the depot. 1t is an
uphill trail, and as the time limit is
often exceeded by some of the sight
seers, it is a go-as-you-please race to
catch the train.
There is usually an evening enter
tainment in the spacious lobby of the
hotel, with Chief Big Top as one of
the attractions. He is generally as
sisted by Chiefs Three Bears and
Lazy Boy and their squaws, all of
them wearing blankets of gorgeous
and variegated colors. Indian dances
and other frontier stunts afford much
amusement to eastern tourists.
The unrivalled mountain scenery
of the park is a revelation to most of
the visitors, and the enjoyment to be
derived from vacation in such sur
roundings insures an ever-increasing
popularity among eastern and west
ern pleasure seekers.

FINAL FIGHT ON TARIFF,
Democratic Measure Will be Passed
ey Senate Majority.


Washington, Sept. S.-Democratic
lines In the senate stood solidly to.
night against the final onslaught of
the tariff fight. With party leaders
urging their colleagues on to approv-
al OF the bill, the ranks closed up
against the anti-free wool and the
anti-free sugar forces, and defeated
all amendments to the bill as fast as
they came to a vote.
Attempts to restore duty on raw
wool and to raise the duty on wooden
manufactured goods made in success
i've amendments by Senators La Fol-
lette, Carton and Penrose, were de-
feated without the loss of party
vote.
A last stand by the anti-free sugar
forces, led by Senator Ransdell of
Louisiana, held the attention of the
senate throughout the evening, but
the vote of Senators Ransdell and
Thornton long had been conceded to
the republicans upon the sugar issue.
Two attempts by Senator La Fol.
lette to secure the adoption of substi-
tutes for the democratic wool tariff
failed by prospect of final wool vote
when the single item of free wool
was reached in the free list of the
bill.
The senate will vote finally on the
democratic tariff bill tomorrow af.
ternoon at 4 o'clock. This agreement
was reached tonight at HAS o'clock,
when it became apparent that it
would be impossible to carry the plan
to pass the measure before adjourn
ment.

wages in the industry are so low
that healthy surroundings and a
decent standard of living have be-
