score at 16 to 8. The third quarter

Loss Is Estimated
at $4,000

A short circuit. caused the total
destruction of the pewer house of the
Montana Coal and Iron company at

the boilers and the hoists were saved
by prompt application of the water
hose. All generator equipment was
destroyed.

gineer at noon but the flames had
gained such Roadway that they were
beyond control. Efforts of volunteers
were of no avail. To avoid disruption
of work the company is getting it's
electricity from the Montana Power
company. The plant will be replaced
according to Manager ]. M. Freeman.
The Montana Coal and Iron COM
pany on Monday began to work full
blast and will continue to operate
