 Only piling now protrudes from where the cannery stood. The face of the dock is intact.
 It is reported that Supt. Dennis Ryan, his wife and children were barely able to escape from the Sup erintendent's house which was also totally destroyed. So rapidly did the flames spread that they were unable to save even their clothes.

ENEMY SENATOR'S
TO Be BANNED
Records to Be Used to Encompass
Their Defeat.

The sad experience of the unions,
farmers and the common people in
general, with certain members Of the
Senate, in the past decade and espec-
tally in the 23rd, Oath and 25th ses-
sions of the legislature, have taught
them that they must get rid of these
enemies of the people and of pro
gress. To this end the Montana La
Dor News is publishing a record of
all the senators in the three sessions
mentioned above, giving the resid-
ence and their ratings on labor mea-
sures in each of the sessions. We
hope in this way to be able to pin
on the reactionary ones a stigma
which will prevent them from re-
turning to the Senate at the next
session or any other session.
Progressive farmers and members
of organized labor and all other in
dividuals, in these counties, who are
friends of progress should keep this
record and remember it and use it
to encompass the defeat Of these men
in 1886. Keep them out Of the Sen
ate. Keep them out of every other
office.
