William Sutherland
Loses Ills Mind

William Sutherland of Adir, an
old time miner and prospector of
the Coeursd'Alenes, has lost his
mind and was taken to Wallace
this morning by Arthur Oleson of
Marble Greek, deputy sheriff of
Shoshone county, TO be examined.
Sutherland's insanity is of a mild
nature and he is perfectly quiet
and inoffensive. He is an old
timer in the Occur d'Alenes and
was the discOverer of several
mines which have since turned
out very valuable and is still in
terested in several valuable prop
critics.

Good Spirit

A number of railway COM
panieS and other big corporations
have adopted the very COM
mendable policy of retaining
on the payrolls all employees
who have been called to do
soldier duty on the Mexican
border. In many places a
sentiment favorable to the ex-
tending of liberal patronage to
business places whose heads
have been called to duty is
being created. This, in our
opinion, is the proper spirit.
Those who are compelled to
leave their positions and busi-
ness places are making a
sacrifice for the safety of all at
home ard helping to preserve
the country's prestige and hon.
or. The financial sacrifice is
considerable and the danger
of incurable disease is great.
The least that those at home
may do is to create a sentiment
that will tighten the burdens of
their families and those in
whom they repose their busi-
ness trust. We hope to see the
Great Northern Railway Co.
make the same announcement
that other roads are making, to
the effect that those in it's ser
vice who are called away will
be kept on the payroll during
hostilitieS with Mexico.

To Fight Brothers

Frank Macia, swarthy son of
old Mexico, for the past six
month a sort of protege of Col.
Ed Buckner, joined the Shelby
regiment last week and will 90
back to his native land bearing
the banner Of Uncle Sam and
to fight against his own people.
Macia It's been wanderer
over the face of the earth,
going as far north as Alaska.
He would make a good hero in
a Jack London red corpuscle"
story, being a rather romantic
looking character and a con-
firmed nomad. AS between
the factions that have torn
Mexico almost asunder he
lnclines toward Carranza but
would like to see Uncle Sam
clean up the horrible mess.

Flood Menaces a
Section Of Town
Lower Broadway In The
Heart of the Big
Puddle

The need of proper drainage
is the issue of the hour in Cut
Bank. The seriousness of the
situation was well emphasized
this week. By the flooding of
lower Broadway flooding
such as that district has never
before experienced. The filling
in of the Great Northern pro-
perty has completely damned
the water outlet, poor as it was
previous to this move. Now
there is no possible outlet until
the water becomes so high as
to overflow the tracks.
The water in the lowest part
of Lower Broadway is nearly
three feet deep and all the
Easements in the district are
flooded. The Great Northern
hotel is entirely surrounded by
water, water stands two feet
in the Mint. the boardwalks
have been carried from their
anchorage and in order to
reach the railway station it is
necessary to detour about a
quarter of a mile. Water has
been seeping into the Halvor-
son cement basement and
force has been working day
and night to keep it from des-
