SENATE FILIBUSTER
CALLED OFF AT LAST
Republicans and Democrats
Come to Agreement.

Washington. Feb. 24.--One of the
most spectacular filibusters the cap
itol has seen in years Kept the senate
in session until midnight tonight and
was broken down only when Repub-
lican leaders directing it secured a
pledge from the Democrats that the
administration revenue bill would not
be urged to a vote until Wednesday,.
The Democrats facing what they
declared was Republican attempt to
break down the administration pro-
gram and force an extra session OF
congress after March 4, had threat
ened to keep the senate in continuous
session over Sunday If that were
found necessary to secure passage of
the revenue measure
After two or three peace proposals
had been rejected by the Democrats
the Republican leaders submitted n
proposition for a vote Wednesday
night at o'clock on condition that in
the meantime appropriation bills may
be brought up by unanimous consent.
The Democrats accepted, believing
this arrangement gave them a chance
to save enough of their legislative
program to avert an extra session.

n. P. PAYROLL GROWING
ON MOUNTAIN DIVISION
February Payment Greater
by $4,000 Than Average
for Previous Year.
MUCH SPENT IN CITY
Missoula Gets Big Share Of
Wages and Salaries Paid
From Here.
MUCH SPENT IN CITY

A monthly average Of $4,000, APP
proximately 60 per cent of which Is
spent in Missoula. is the payroll of
this division of the Northern Pacific.
The amount paid by the company to
it's employees in this division on the last
pay day, February Is, was s175.OO0. of
which amount $4,000 was paid to the
men in the car and machine shops in
Missoula.
The salaries and wages Of the mon
living in Missoula amounts to about
$4,000 monthly. This money is spent
or banked with Missoula business men,
1t is expected that with the opening
of the Great Western Sugar companys
factory here similar large sum will
be added to the income of Missoula
residents in one form or another.
Many Promotions.
Seventy-fivc firemen have been
promoted to the engineers side of the
cab and 40 brakemen have been made
conductors during the past few
hioiithS. NtHE ne" DFakemcn ana
firemen in addition to those needed
to fill vacancies made by the pro-
motions have been hired.
From the start already made, the
year 1917 promises to be heavy one
for the railroads. As the figures show
the average monthly pay roll for the
year 1916 was $4,000 The traffic
during the past 60 days has been un-
usually heavy for this time of the year,
the officials say. Many men were add
ed to care for the increase and the
payroll jumped to $4,000. 1t is GER
tain that many more men will join the
ranks of the railroaders when the an
nual spring rush starts.

STOCK FEED BE SHORT.
w. A. Jones Been Investigating Con-
diti0ns i'm Montana.

w. A. Jones came in on Sunday even
ing's train from a trip to Montana.
The Lewiston Tribune has the follow
ing to say of Billie:
w. A. Jones was an arrival yester-
day from Montana, where he investi-
gated pasture and feed conditions.
Mr.. Jones is engaged in the cattle
business on the Salmon river and is
looking up feed supply in the event
severe winter conditions exhaust the
supply of feed available on the Salmon
river this season.
"The season has not been favorable
for growing winter feed and the sup
ply. ON the ranches this winter will be
some below normal" said Mr.. Jones.
1.-THE severe winter and late spring
from which we have recently passed,
exhausted completely the feed supply
on the river and with no certainty as
to the weather conditions to be expert
enced this winter, 1t is only matter
of wisdom to know as early as pos
sible where feed is to be secured and
what the price will be in event the
river feed is not sufficient to carry the
herds to new feed next spring.
Montana will have no feed nor
range that can be secured at a price
within the reach Of Salmon river
stockmen. BY this l mean the price
of hay will prohibit shipping to the
Salmon river country and the price of
range is too high TO take the stock
into Montana. l have visited num-
Der of feed sections and have return
ed with determination of securing
the cooperation of the Salmon river
stockInen In a movement to get the
steers off the river during the early
| fall. Ii will be matter of wisdom tc
get the steers from the river as early
stubble field range can be secured In
the agricultural districts and the feed
now ON the river will be sufficient tC
carry the cows and young stock
! through any kind of weather the
country has ever experienced.
THE long drought and the extreme
heat have affected every district Wis

RECORD MOUNTAIN AUTO TRIP
Westside Fishing Party Go Beyond
Buffalo Hump In Car. Catch
0OdIes of Fish

Buffalo Hump. via Elk City, Aug 4.
Especial to the Tribune. THE sec
ond automobile to be driven into the
Orogrande district arrived a few days
ago from Cottonwood with a party
destined for Fish lake The party
was composed of Leo Hanses, wife and
two children, Miss Emma Hanses and
Mrs. Ray Minis. At Buffalo Hump
the party was joined by Bert Jones
and family of four and the car was
driven to Wild Horse creek, where 1t
was abandoned because of the bridge
being broken down by the heavy
SHOWS of winter. The party packed
into Fish lake to enjoy the fine fish
ing afforded there.
The first car was driven into the
district about three years ago by a
Walla Walla party. The honk of the
automobile horn brought the pros
pectors down the mountain trails to
ascertain the nature of the new arriv-
al. some believing that a flying ma
chine had landed in the district.
The car driven in this season by
Mr.. Hanses is a 35-horse power Dodge
and the trip was made without any
trouble.
The Chronicle says the party
brought back over 500 fine trout caught
in Fish Lake, which is literally alive
with fish. They took dynamite along
and blew out the high centers when
encountered and they got within
two and a half miles of the lake In
their car by this process. Mrs. Minis"
says the Chronicle, "hooked a big one
that broke the pole and made off with
the upper half of it. And this is nc
fish story either"

~CANNING THE KAIsER.s

Inc Americans are recognized the
world over as the great coiners OF new
words, pat phrases and pointed take
ons," although our English cousins
nave experienced some difficulty at
times In translating the new language
10 MT the grooves of their peculiarly
constructed minds. This is evidently
true OF the new American song. which
recently appeared on the scene and
tel's how the kaiser is to be disposed
or The song is being sung by the
marines and soldiers who recently
crossed the big pond to France and
England. A London news dispatch of
recent date says:
Inc newspapers declare today that
the American soldiers and marines
nave already found a slogan, which
Is tCan the Kaiser.) The British
are much puzzled by the ability Of
the Americans to invent new slang.
ana the papers explain that the word
can is used in the sense of her
metically sealing the Kaiser to pre-
vent his future activity. The song is
sung to tune of Marching Through
Georgia"
Brig the good old bugle, boys, Wen
sing another song,
Sing 1t with spirit that win move
the world along,
Sing 1t as we need to sing II, half a
million strong
While we are canning the Kaiser.

Oh, Bill! Oh, Bill! We're ON the lob
t0dayi
oh, Bill Oh, Bml Wen seal you SO
you'll stay
wen put you up with ginger in the
good old Yankee way
while we are canning the Kaiser.
Hear the song we're singing on the
shining road to France;
Hear the Tommies cheering, and see
the P0lius prance;
Africanders and Kanucks and Scots
without their pants
While we are canning the Kaiser.
Bring the guns from Bethlehem, by
way of old New York.
Bring the beans from Boston, and
don't leave out the pork;
Bring a load of soda-pop, and pull
the grape juice cork
While we are canning the Kaiser.
Come, you men from Dixieland, YOU
lumber jacks of Maine;
Come, you Texas cowboys, and yor
farmers Of the plain;
From Florida to Oregon, we boast
the Yankee strain
While we are canning the Kaiser.
Now we've started ON the Job, w,

Clear the way for common folk, fol

the stockmen to prepare to handle
