Booze79oaked Worm
Tackles Big Trout

MALTA, July 27.-Two Black
foot river fishermen were having
no luck with flies. One suggested
that they soak an angle worm in
whiskey and try that. So a fat
worm was obtained, put in the
bottom of an old can, and some
bootleg poured over him. The
worm, showing well-known signs
of animation, was impaled on a
hook and cast into the stream.
Immediately the once placid
stream became violently agitated.
Something churned the waters to
their depths. The rod bent dou-
BILE and the fisherman in despera-
ton grabbed the line. One tried
to pull it in, but his companion
had to come to his aid. Together
they slowly reeled in, to discover
that the angle worm had seized a
big trout by the throat and was
choking it to death.

bakkelse, sand kelse and coffee.

at Terry, county seat of Prairie
county, was destroyed by fire
this morning between / o'clock

back of the switchboard is said to
have started the blaze. The
building was of %stucco, built last

be let next year for the compile
ton of the road so it will be open
to traffic in the summer of 1880.
On the west side of the divide a
contract is to be let soon that
will carry the highway to about
seven miles beyond Nyack (Java).
This would leave but about seven
miles yet to be built on the west
side and a considerable part of
this will not be difficult construc-
ton. On the east side there is a
passable road for a considerable
distance between Glacier Park
station and Summit, and by start
ing the work toward Summit, it
would not be a difficult job to
open the highway to traffic on
that side.
Ne Opposition Expected
1t is expected that there will be
practically no opposition in high
way district No. 2 on the east
side to secure most of the gas tax
money allotted to that district, to
match federal or forestry money
to complete the unit on that side.
On the west side sentiment in
Lincoln county and along the
Roosevelt highway favors using
the bulk of the gas tax money in
this district for the matching of
funds to complete the work on the
west.
This will be the major subject
of the plan making the annual
meeting of the Roosevelt highway
association at Havre. Local ar
rangements for the meeting will
left in the hands of Frank Cowan
of Havre, vice-president of the as
ISOLATION. 1t is expected that
there will be delegations present
from all the towns along the line
across the state. Other officers
of the association are G. M. Moss
of Whitefish, president; A. L. Jor-
don of Columbia Falls, secretary.
and c. H. Jenkins of Whitefish,
treasurer. There is a director in
each county in the state through
which the highway passes.
