Floods in the eastern part of Mon
tana have caused delays and tie-ups
on both the Milwaukee and the North
ern Pacific railroads. The trouble
came first to the Northern Pacific
yesterday morning. On the Yellow
stone division the Yellowstone river
flooded over it's banks and washed out
some track just west of Glendive.
The trouble quickly spread, and it was
necessary to route train No. 3 over the
Milwaukee tracks from Miles City to
Lombard. Arrangements We're made,
then, to route all other Northern Pa
cific trains over the Great Northern
from Leeds, N. D., to Helena. No. 4
yesterday morning was sent to Leeds
from Helena.
About 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon
word was received in the local MilWau-
kee offices that the Milwaukee line
was washed out near Miles City. The
Olympian, train No. lis, was posted
as abandoned. The extent of the trou-
BILE was not known here last night.
The Milwaukee is also having trouble
near Marmarth, n. D. All of the tele-
phone and telegraph lines have been
WdsHeu away anu COMMUNICATION east
of Miles City was impossible yester-
day. However, the officials here said
the North Dakota damage would prob
ably be repaired without much delay.
Hope is held out by both the Northern
Pacific and the Milwaukee ~that their
trains will arrive in Missoula some
time today.
The Burlington train, known as No.
ii, is stalled somewhere east of Bill
lings. No word as to its possible time
of arrival was received here yesterday.
A train to be known as No. 5 was
Yesterday made up at Billings and
sent out to complete h run of the
original No. 5 that is tied up east of
Billings. This train arrived in Mis-
soula early this morning.

There are lots of fools of many kinds
there's one born every minute; the
April fools d jolly fool
BIGGEST just for the fur that's
OF ALL in it; the simple fool
is born so-he has no
sense at all: the damfool vaunts his
foolishness-he wants to hire a hall;
fashions fool is silly-in gorgeous
hues arrayed; there are hes and shes
in his fool clasS-alWays on parade;
there's the fool who, in the summer
time, gets gay and rocks the boat; he
seeks thin ice in Winter-you cannot
get his goat; there's the fool who
toots his tut horn in the middle of
the night; he races W and down the
street in all a fools delight; there's
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. fool
who trifles with a gun; when he gets
in Jail for murder, he says twas all in
fun; but the biggest fool, of all the
fools the world has ever known, is the
Hessian fool assassin-he's by him
self alone; he fools himself by think
ing that he fools other folks; they
know his game and his TRADES are
only funny jokes.

NORTHERN PACIFIC AND MIL.
WAUkEE ARE TIED UP EAST
OF GLENDlVE.

Billings. March 31.-Two thou
sand feet of track washed out on
the Burlington near Grow Agency
by an ice gorge in the Little Big
Horn river is stalling several
trains, While the going out of a
bridge at the intersection of the
Big Horn and the Yellowstone, and
another at Sarpy creek, has tied up
and marooned a passenger and two
freight trains. At Hysham track
for several hundred feet on each
side of the town on the Northern
Pacific has been washed out
through the breaking of ice gorges
Previous to the breaking up of
the Sarpy creek gorge the lower
valley was flooded and several
farm houses were surrounded by
water.
While there has been no loss Of
life, the property damage will be
heavy.
Work trains on the Northern
Pacific are busy on both sides of
the break, and Northern Pacific
officials believe that they will be
able to get trains through by to-
morrow evening. Northern Pacific
traffic is being detoured over the
Milwaukee at Lombard and at
Miles City, service between Billings
Il the west being kept up by
means of specials. 1t probably
will be several DAYS before the
Burlington is again in commission.

l.. h Kenny divides his attention
these days. lie has diverse interests
which demand his per-

iNCIDENl it keeps him busy get
ting all the way around.
The Empress thcatcr was under dis
cussion for a haif-hOur yesterday aft
ornoon and Mr.. Kenny was one of the
diScusscrS. lie is much Interested in
the Empress and was talking very
earnestly. He was clad in a suit of
irish homnspun and he had an Ameri-
can ten-dollar bin in his hand. He is
oNa to American money, no matter
what kind of clothes he wears. In his
car~ncstncss, he backed too close to

There was a happy man in town last
night and he's probably happy this
morning. The chances
He IS are he'll wear his smile
LUCKY for a long time. Las
night the police depart
ment handed to him a diamond which
he lost about a year ago 1t is a fine
stone, worth, it is said, $3.50. 1t had
been given UP as lost forever, though
the owner had said there would be no
questions asked if the diamond We're
returned. Saturday night the police
commissioner found where the dia-
mond was. Yesterday an officer
handed it back to the man who had
lost it. He was glad to get back his
diamond and wanted to know all
about it, but he had said he would
ask no questions and he stood pat.
The stone had been reset, but it was
uninjured, and the owner doesn't
care particularly about the setting.
He has the sparkler back and that is
what he wanted more than anything
else. The stone was not stolen from
him originally; he had removed his
ring when he washed his hands and
lldu gone away ana lclt 1t. Inc llnder
kept it. That's the whole story ex-
cept as to how the police located the
finder, after a year. But they say it
was part of the bargain that no ques-
ions should be asked, and they won't
tell. Commissioner Houston last night
admitted to the Man About Town tina
the ring had been found and restored
to its owner, but that was all he
would say

There has been a good deal of talk
about the Avenue lodging house case
said Mayor Rhoades
yesterday afternoon to
REASON the Man About Town,
though / don't see why
there should be. The council, having
heard the complaint against this place,
decided to revoke the license. All of
us voted for this action. The next day
the landlady of the house came to me
and told her side of the story. 1t was
n pathetic story and she promised to
conduct the house properly if I would
suspend the sentence of the council.
] did this. l told her to go on and
run the house right and the license
would not be revoked. But | told her
the sentence would hang over her and
upon the first complaint there would
be nothing to do but to enforce it.
Her license will be taken away from
her If there is any more complaint.
That is the situation, and | wish YOU
would make it clear. | didn't know
there was any doub about it until 7
heard this afternoon that there has
been some ak regarding it. / acted

would do the same thing again. The
law gives me the right to suspend
these city sentences and / am re-
sponsiblc for his action. | believe
That any man would have done as 7
did, had he heard the story which that
woman told to me. 1t isn't necessary
to tell it now, but if anybody wants
to know about it, ] will be glad to
tell him the whole thing

AS TO SPECIALIZING.

In addressing the students at the
opening of the Louisiana State Uniyer.
sity, Gov Hall struck the keynote OF
the times when he urged the student
to specialize in his course and follow ii
determinedly to success. Every thing
is keyed to specialization these days
The age has passed, if it ever existed
rightly, when men could make gen.
eral education fit individual needs
without specializing. Indeed, former.
ly, man had to take up, after finish.
ing school, his special work, now his
energies are bent to it as soon as he
can make up his mind what to do and
be. 1t saves time, energy and money
1t makes boy concentrate. 1t tends
to perfection. 1t eliminates the man
"all things by turns and nothing long,

A GRIEVoUs SITUATION.

AS intimated in our news column,
the State Bank Examiner has acted
rather strangely with regard to the af-
fairs of our local bank After having
assured different persons here that
there was nothing illegal in the man.
agement of that institution, the report
that he has subsequently made to the
Attorney General is surprising to say
the least of it. The statement made
by the daily press If correct has other
elements of surprise, inasmuch as it
is rather anomalous for the Attorney
General to leave to the District Attor-
ney the decision of whether or no to
prefer charges. 1t would seem that
the former should instruct the subor-
dinate official what to do in the pre-
misses. This must either be an error,
in statement, or it shows that the mat
ter is only technical irregularity.
Whatever may be the true status of
affairs, we hope for the sake of all con-
cerned that the facts will soon trans
pire, and be settled. 1t is doing the
parish no good to be in it's present
state of uncertainty.
The circumstances attendant upon a
failure are bad enough: the embarrass-
ment in business; the pitiful losses of
people, usually woman and children,
not in business; the general straitness
OF affairs consequent upon a banks
closing; without having this darker
shadow also lowering over the COM
munlty.

THE TREES TELL 1T.

That it is the fool, who hath said in
his heart that there is no God is gen
orally admitted, but most persons i'm
agine that science is in conflict with
the data offered by the Bible. A re-
markable instance of the contrary, in
fact where science affords confirmation
strong to Holy Writ, is contained in a
recent bulletin of the Forestry divis.
ion at Washington. The drought that
occurred in the days of Elijah was also
experienced in the regions of Califor.
MIA as recorded in the rings of its
giant trees. In the time of Christ, not
only was there peace in the entire Ro.
man empire, but the big sequoias
chronicle that there was an epoch of
favorable climate, proportionate rain
fall and sunshine.

RAILROAD OUTLETS FROM
NATCHEZ.

The immense Boosters Edition OF
the Natchez Democrat shows the Bluff
City off to great advantage, as it gives
a comprehensive view of the city's ter
ritory, resources and achievements. 1t
shows that it's territory extends east
and north in Mississippi, west and
north in Louisiana and beyond the Ar
kansas line. Incidentally, and perhaps
unconsciously, it reveals that the ter
ritory of Natchez southwark is limited.
This is due to no railroad facilities.
One can but wonder how it is that
such a progressive city is doing moth
ing towards getting railway connec-
ton with Fort Adams and Woodville.
Such line has been long discussed,
but nothing has come of it as yet. The
Yazoo & Mississippi Valley Railroad
claims to be interested, but is not vi
tally so as road out of Natchez to
Woodville would compete with it's own
branch line to Harriston. This con-
sideration blinds it's management to
the greater territory the new line
would open. 1t is therefore distinctly
up to Natchez business men to take
the initiative, in whatsoever manner
that seems best, to push it's trade
southwark. Natchez needs better rail-
way facilities to New Orleans than
through Harriston, and it should work
to get it, if it really has any boosters
in it's population.
Such line would help in the deVel-
opment O. all this section between
Bayou Sara and Natchez. Hence we
urge it.

STRONG ONLY WHEN UNITED.

Comment is made upon the fact that
the State Bank Examiner has not treat
ed this community with as much frank
ness and liberality as he did the peo-
pie at Franklinton, La, in the recent
failure of their bank. This is true,
but the Franklinton people held mass
meeting and expressed their wishes to
Mr.. Young and he very graciously &C.
coded to them. Nothing was asked
here of the Examiner, in spite of siren.
uous efforts by a few individuals to
get something done, more favorable to
local needs.
The reason lies in our people them
selves. There is not sufficient unani-
nifty among them. In union there is
strength, and in union only.

THE CHEAPER WAY

There seems to be a disposition in
many of the parishes to agree infor
mally upon delegate for athe consti
tutional convention, and thus avoid the
expense of primary election. This
arises not only from a general distaste
for political contest at this time, but
from the feeling that the conventions
duties are more or less so clearly de
fined, so circumscribed in fact, that
there is nothing of political gain fol
any one in waging fight over it
Many of the parishes realize that it is
folly to go to the expense of an cleo
ton in the circumstances, and most OF
them do not feel able to incur that
expense.
