That the Blackfoot valley extension
of the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
will be extended as far as Cottonwood
this year, was the announcement made
by II. j. Earring, vice president Of the
road. upon his return from an inspec-
ton trip taken in company with sew
understood for some time that this
even-mile extension from Clearwater
would be ordered, but nothing definite
was known until the party returned to
Missoula Sunday evening. This will
bring the line to within eight miles of
Ovando. Grading has been practically
completed as far as Clearwater and
some work has been done on the other
side of this point.
The officials could not make any
definite statement as to the time when
the road through to Great Falls would
be completed, but it was intimated
that next year might see some impor-
tant work done on this project. Some
of the construction from Great Falls
this way has been done, but there is
little chance of the lines being pushed
any farther than Cottonwood this year.

larly interested in the Swan river

On the
Spur of the
Moment
The Spring Poet.

He versifies of Halcyon skies,
OF winds and string heather,
In silvery words he sings of birds,
He raves about the weather;
He says that he would love to be
Where merles are making ditty,
He seems to long to leave the throng
And hustle of the city.
Says he. in part, ooh, yearning heart
How we are fain to wander,
With happy sigh and dreaming eye
Beyond the hilltops yonder.
All. could we yield to calls afield,
Where rivulets are crawling,
The magic flutes, the lifting lutes
OF Already are calling"
And as he signs we sympathize,
His words have quite beguiled us,
And vet at times his simple rhymes
OF Spring have rather riled us;
He yearns to stray through vernal
way
Nobody's said that He don't
But Holy Gee and Goodness me,
Perhaps he thinks that WE don't!

exquisitely dressed in the latest mode.
She turned her head to study the door
way of a building, and he discovered
she was Dolly Kemper. In the NOV
ing mass of people he could not tell
who was with her. He grew curious
to know, for of course, she was not
alone at night in that crowd. But as
he kept her in sight. he saw that she
was alone. He had no excuse to in
trude his company upon her, but as he
had no especial stopping point in view
he kept on in the wake of the girl.
After all why should not any young
lady be on Broadway in the evening?
She was as safe there as anywhere,
and probably she was on the way to-
visit friend.
Sperry, feeling slightly disguised
with himself, was about to turn back,
when he saw Miss Kemper go into a
cafe. 1t was one of the ''lOudest" in
the city. All sorts frequented the place,
and any man present felt at liberty to
ask any lady to dance with him. He
was positively aghast at this girl 60
ing in there alone. She could not pos
sibly know the reputation of the place.
He hurried after her, and reached her
side before she had entered the inner
door. She looked at him In a kind of
annoyed surprise.

He went back to the street in an odd
frame of mind. Here was the girl he
had heretofore regarded as simply
good" in surprisingly new light. He
wondered If her mother knew the kind
of friends" she was going to meet In
this place. He was rather sure his
mother didn't. She had sent him about

The Whisky Instruction.

In the last years of Washington's
administration, the people of west
ern Pennsylvania started uprisings
against the power of the excise au-
tnorities. known ut the time as the
whisky insurrection." About the mid
die of 1899 General Neville, the chief
excise OfiSer, was attacked in his
house and in other places valuable
property was destroyed. There was
a tumultuous meeting Of the people at
Washington. Pa. and rally of armed
men at BraddOck's field. The upris-
ings were brought to an end through
the vigorous efforts of James Ross, a
prominent lawyer of Washington, Pa,
who had been elected few months
before to the United States senate to
fill out the unexpired term Of Albert
Gallatin.

Probably the reason why Ed Sperry
so carefully avoided Dolly Kemper
was because his mother had held her
up to him as a pink of perfection. 1t
has never been quite satisfactorily
explained why the young male of the
species invariably SHES at the term "a
good girl" and so invariably demands
it in the same girl after they are mar
ried.
At any rate, Mrs. Sperry saw the I'M
selfishness, kindness and clear head
of Dolly Kemper, and made the I'M
tactful mistake of telling her son
about it, and suggesting that he pay
the young lady some attention when
Mrs. Sperry invited her to tea. Prob
ably if she had not so insistently en-
larged on her good qualities, her son
might have found out for himself
that Dolly could be jolly company,

but 1 know what grief it is to her,
and he is breaking his mothers heart"
"Joe hasn't done anything you'd call
actually vicious. He's more like what
the southern darkies call 'trifiin'.' He
has lost two positions through having
too many good times, staying all

He probably won't keep the one he

Mrs. Sperry shook her head sadly
and looked with equal satisfaction and
gratitude at her own son, who took
bis pleasures more sparingly, and not
only kept his position in a large mer'
camille firm, but had just received his
second advance In salary.

Band Benefit a Marked Success

If the First Minnesota Artillery
Band had had their gun squad and
field piece with them, the town
would hardly have been able to hold
the people who would have come to
town to hear the band and see the
field piece.
But people turned out anyway to
show the boys how anxious they were
to help swell the regimental fund,
and as a result the conquest Of
Canaan" holds the record for any
benefit entertainment given here.
The Orpheum was crowded to the
doors for the afternoon performance,
and the overflow was so great in the
evening that Mr.. Gaffney obligingly
opened the Strand theatre also, the
boys divided their band, and the reels
were run at the Strand as rapidly as
released from the Orpheum. Both
theatres we're filled.
The gross receipts we're S437.50.
Of this the First Artillery Band re-
ceived $500, expenses were $28, and
the balance of $1O9.5O has been
turned over to the Red Cross chapter.
The boys of the First Artillery
were very much pleased with the
cordial reception they received here.
