Hurd in House, Too.
Speaking of Senator Hurd reminds
one that there is also Hurd in the

brought his wife along, and although
she is not of voting age, her sympa-
thies lie with the opposite party from
that which her husband represents.
The young lady is just as wise as the
older women in acting on the steer
ing committee evenings at the Placer,
and although Mr.. Hurd is chairman
of the printing committee it does not
afford him any excuse for absenting
himself until the wee hours.
The wife of Representative Buell.
of Bozeman often occupies chair by
his side, and although her hair is
silvery grey she is still counted one
of the most beautiful women in the
state. She is following several bills
closely, especially the one pertaining
to the girls vocational school.
Mrs. DR.. Ironsides of Silver Bow
is the constant companion of her hus
band, and has the distinction Of be
ing the best informed member of the
third house.
Mrs. Searles, Wife of the chairman
of the employment committee in the
house, divides honors with her popu
lar husband for congeniality ane
good fellowship.
Many other of the lawmakers have
brought their wives along for the
two months stay at the capital city
and as the session draws near its
close they have become as one large
family. And great number of then

MONTANA MAN
IS IN FLANDERS
JACK STEWART, FORMERLY OF
GREAT NORTHERN, BUILDS
FOR THE ALLIES.
Has Army Of Canadian Navvies I'm
der Him, and Is Doing More for
Allies Cause Than Some of the
Gold Braided Generals; Bury Is
With Him.

Railroad men all over Montana
will remember Jack Stewart" said
Pete McVey, veteran railroad builder,
In Great Falls the other day. "Stew-
art was connected with the construc-
ton of the Great Northern through
Montana as an engineer. Afterwards
he went to Canada and built the
Grand Trunk Pacific across the con-
tinent, and dug the Connaught tun-
mel through the Rocky Mountains
He has built more railroad than any
other man on this continent or in
the world for that matter.
"Our old friend Stewart is now at
the front in the service of the allies
continued McVey. "And while he is
not soldier he is doing more work
for the allies cause than any gold
laced general in any of the armies
He is the commanding officer of an
army of railroad builders, 1000 of
them, all brought over from Canada
where they know the game of rail-
road building.
May Get Knighthood
"Stewart is doing big things. He
is building railroads with such ra-
pidity that he is astonishing the staid
engineers of Europe, who take their
time and build for all time Stewart
has been used to the rush methods of
Canada. 1t is a fairly level country
in Flanders, where he is operating,
and he shoots those tracklaying ma
chimes of his down softly sloping dale
and up gentle grades of the hills in
manner that is winning for him the
hio1 of
He is an American born and it is
probable that this man who once
made Montana his home will be
knighted for what he is doing"
The very day Lloyd George took
command he summoned the Canadian
railroad builders and bade them Ego
to it,, and "Jack" Stewart now heads
a brigade of seven thousand railroad
builders-all Canadians. Where
French and English engineers never
dreamed of anything but stone docks
and quays, pile structures go down
in a few weeks and shipping is re-
lieved. Men and things are also
flowing rapidly back and forth across
the North Atlantic. George Bury,
vice president of the Canadian Pa
cific, has been called to Flanders to
operate the roads which Stewart is
building, back of the first line.
Works With Bury
The work of Bury and Stewart is
said to have accomplished more for
the allies since these men began op-
Grating than several army corps.
Roads are being built back of the
lines in every direction, and as they
grow the work of bringing up troops
and munitions of war, or, what is
more important, food to cheer the
men who are doing the fighting, has
been greatly facilitated
Stewards success in Canada has
been phenominal. He went there as
an employe. Now he is the owner
of the Pacific Great Eastern, a 400
mile stretch of track on the west
coast of Canada. When this road
is completed it will link up the
United States with Alaska.

"While preparing for war every pos

en- to make certain that the men who
enlist are free from tuberculosis.
There are probably many enlisting
whose resistance against disease is low
and who will become active cases of
tuberculosis when the men are SUBJ
jected to the hardships of camps and
trenches. The idea that camp life will
harden the system of the weakling is
false; it will harden those naturally
strong but has the opposite effect upon
people especially likely to develop tu-
berculosis.
Many cases which will become ac-
tive as the result of mobilization will
return as spreaders of infection to vari-
Gus communities of this state. Accord
ingly, all local health organizations,
health officers and visiting nurses,
should endeavor to see that equipment
exists in their communities for the
proper treatment of these cases. The
council on national defense has formu-
lated plans for the cooperation of all
state organizations that should assist
in this work"

Napoleon as a Cadet.

When Napoleon was young cadet
he went on one occasion to witness the
ascent of balloon in the Champ de
Mars. He entered, unperceived, the
Enclosure which contained the balloon,
which was then very nearly full and
about to ascend, and requested the
aerOnaut to allow him to enter the
car. The request, however, was re-
fused, the reason given being that the
feelings sof the boy might embarrass
the aeronaut. Though l am young, l
fear neither the powers of earth nor
of the air!" Bonaparte is reported to
have exclaimed. On being requested
to retire, the little cadet, enraged at
the refusal, drew his sword, and, slit
ting the balloon in several places de-
stroyed the apparatus which had been
constructed with infinite labor and in
genuity. Such was Napoleons first and
last attempt to ascend in a balloon.

and the frigid shoulder. In despera-

asked for job. He said that all he
wanted was trial and would pay his

Herzog took him up and Fred was put

manager decided to put him on the pay

He did good work in 1915 and last

made 6 wild pitches and &c earned
