TRIDENT RESIDENTS
STILL FLOODED OUT
Water Continues to Menace
Montana Town.

Bozeman, Jan. 16.--The flooded con-
dition in and about the town Of Tri-
dent have been relieved but slightly
during the past "a hours. The people
have not been able to return to their
homes and there is still from three to
four feet of water standing in the
streets. A crew of fifty men have been
working on the ice jam a quarter of a
mile below the town, but have been
unable to relieve the pressure to .any
great extent.
Refuge has been found by the
stricken families in the nearby towns
of Logan and Three Forks. Most of
them are being cared for in Three
Forks by the citizens there. The people
of Three Forks have turned out and
have done good work in rescuing the
people of Trident from the impentliu.,
danger. Automobiles have been ply
ing between the two cities, being used

N. p. CAR SHOP MEN
ON NINE-HOUR DAY
Usual Shift From 10 hours
Later Than Usual.

The employees at the Northern Pacific
car shops began a nine hour day Tues
day, instead of ten, which they have
been working 50 far this winter. Usual
~ during the winter months, com
mencing III November the men change
from a ten-hour to nine hour day
because of light traffic during that
time of the year and on account Of the
short days. This year. however, the
railroad work has been very heavy and
the men have continued to work ten
hours until Tuesday, business having
slackened up somewhat during the past
few weeks, probably due to difficulty in
moving trains.
The men have been given ten and a
half hours pay for the ten hours they
have been working since November, it
having been considered the same as
overtime. The shift back to the old
schedule will probably he made as soon
as business conditions warrant.

it is called The City of Masks, the city
being New York and the masks mostly

as Deborah's, was really marehioness and

the advantage of most of the nouyeaux

lovers of the story are Lord Eric Temple

There are grave tangles, narrow escapes

light which we are intended to pour into
the reading of how Tommy Wardell found
himself and his place in the world is ham,
pered by the authors inability to make
his story convincing or to invest Tommy
with sufficient interest to pay us for our
pains.
As child Tommy makes one think Of
Will Lexington Comforts little boys. He
sounds as if he might have stepped d.
rect from The Hics, when, burning with
the sudden ecstasy Of strange, fierce in.
dependence he shouts, T am III am
Tommy Wardellv to the whistling
meadow larks and twittering bee mar
tins" But as Tommy grows up he doesn't
do or think anything to Justify his early
tantrums. An author makes mistake in
starting out with this sort of child if he
can't live up to his early promise. Stories
of the petering out of infant prodigies do
not make engaging reading.
The ich-bin-ich, individualism ut any
cost ideas came, strangely enough, from
Germany. Matthew Warren imbibed the
germ OF individualism during his studies
there and handed it on to Tommy, who
was peculiar without it, having already
begun to hear the Voices out of nowhere
calling, "Tom-me-e-p These he after
ward discovered were but the echoes Of
Fanny's heart, and though he was long
time answering them satisfactorily it Is
all right in the end
Scattered through the book are inter.
esting talks on labor, feminism, service
and railroads. Mr.. Knight has good sound
ideas on many subjects and style worthy
of something better than this story. In
the face of all the romantic things he has
to say it may seem unkind to quote him
on railroad statistics, but it is interesting
to know that some one among the railroad
employees in this country is hurt every
four minutes and some one killed every
two hours ind forty-one minutes.

eminent Land in Washington gives charm
and spirit to the narrative of her adven.
ture. The book opens with. pretty de-
seriptive bit Of the beauty of the Mount
Hood region. The simple recital begins
with "A big red apple lured me here"
and the story is apple favored through
out.
The style is Of such general excellence
that one cannot keep from eondemning
the carelessness of the authors we'll ed
ucated cat when she surveyed "Collie and
l." The difficulties and perils of her ven
ture, while not told in tiresome detail, are
so frankly indicated that should any Of
us contemplate apple growing in the
Khckitat We can hardly blame Miss Nor
ris if we wade lot O. shoal places when
we take up orcharding."
The essential streak of romance-not
involving our heroine-runs through the
story with pleasingly narrow evasion Of
tragedy. There is also refreshing play
OF humor, as in the comment that an in
habitant of the region is so exposed to
the moral searchlight of his neighbors
that he hasn't even privacy to change his
mind. The Indian autocrat Skookem is
picturesquely drawn. His squaw deserts
him after he has given her good beat
ing because her boy papoose had died.
The death of girl is negligible, but the
punishment of mother who allows a
male child to die seems nothing unusual,
so the indignant father orders the county
authorities to restore the piece of useful
property to his ranch. This they decline
to do and untaetfully remind him that the
young squaw was but one of number OF
spouses who had gone a similar way.
