The Montana Board of World’s Fair managers for Montana met at Great Falls last week and open ed the bids for the construction of the Montana building. There was but one bid in for the construction of the building in its entirety, and that was from R. C. Thomas of Livingston, who offered to con struct the building for the sum of $21,120. As this sum was consid ered excessive and a number of sub-bids had been received for the different parts of the building, such as plastering, woodwork, etc., the whole matter was referred to the building committee for a re port as to the best course to pur sue in the matter. An executive committee was also appointed consisting of the president, vice-president, execu tive commissioner and secretary of the board, who are empowered to transact business when the board is not in session. There were present, S. De Wolfe, president; D. G. Browne, treasurer; J. G. Ramsay, secretary; W. M. Bickford, execuctive commission er; H. O. Oho wen, George W. Morse, A. K. Yerkes, W. H. Suth- erlin, George M. Hays. L. H. Hershfield, T. E. Collins, A. J. Stephens, P. Lovell and Dr. Mitchell. A communication was also read from Mr. Tooker, of C. J. Tooker & Co., Boulder, offering to furnish to the board free of expense, any dressed granite they might need in the construction of the state building at Chicago. As there was to be no stone used in the biiilding, the secretary was instructed to so inform Mr. Tooker, thanking him for his genérous offer. The building co’mmittee then made their report which developed a great deal of discussion. The committee’s report recommended that Dr. A. H. Mitchell be author ized to proceed to Chicago, and let the contracts for the erection of the Montana state building by piecemeal, provided that the total cost did not exceed $15,000. Mr. Bickford offered a resolution conferring all authority in regard to making contracts for a stale building which the board might possess upon Dr. Mitchell, which was emphatically objected to by Mr. Hershfield on account of there being no limit of expense men tioned in the resolution. T. E. Collins offered a similar resolu tion, but making the limit of ex pense $16,000. This was also op posed b^ Mr. Hershfield, who slated that between $8,000 and $9,000 o f the appropriation of $50,- 000 were already spent and by the time this building was completed there would not be more than $20,000 available for the exhibit which was a very insufficient sum. Mr. Bickford said that the boaid should not be too niggardly in the matter of building. There would be only one at tho fair that would cost less than ours. That would be the state of Delaware which was building one at a cost of $12,- 500. GREAT FLOODS. Ole Mississip is Booming—Levee Broken Through. N ew O rleans , Mav 9. —The < Picayune’s Granville;Miss., special says: At about 6 o’clock this morning tne levee at Brook,8 mill on the Arkansas side of the river, twenty-five miles south of Gran ville, gave away after strenuous efforts to hold it had proved futile. The break was therefore not un expected. At 2 o’clock the cre vasse was 350 feet in width with water rushing through to the depth of six feet. The levee was eight feet high. The water flows direcity into Ottery bayou and then into the bayou Maria. About 7,000 acres of Arkansas land al ready planted in corn and cotton if inundated. There is a rumor afloat to the effect that the Great Morganza levee, the largest in the United States, has given away. -------------- --------- -------------- “ Ole Mississip’* a Booming.” S t . L ouis , May 9.— -“ Ole Missis- sip is a boomin’ ” here and has reached the danger line even at this point where the bank rises rapidly away from the stream. Much moveable property along the shore from the northern end of the city to the south has whirled away and lumber rafts from the north are being tied down and otherwise secured to prevent their sudden disappearance before they can be taken apart and placed on shore. The greatest havoc ha* been created in the “ squatter” settlement called “ Oklahoma” a half mile below the Merchant’s bridge.
