momentarv Inducements to abandon the
high place he strove to establish for that of
Il modern melo-drama, but, notwithstand-
ing the great temptation such financial
gain would have been to him, he followed
his own inclination. and backed by the
good advice and wishes of his erudite
friends, maintained the firm hold he had
pom intelligent theatre goers and increased
it by renewed efforts and study. To-day
Frederick Warde is one of the best paying
stars III the country and he has accumu-
lated considerable wealth, for he is
Il prudent, perspicaoious man. and (his
theatrical savinGs) he iudiciously invested
in western property previous to the boom.

State Treasurer Hickman Cannot
Pay Them and Will Not
Register Them.
A Test Case is Probable to See
Whether They Draw
Interest.
II Proceedings Of the United States
COurt-A Jury Secured to Try
Carl Teichert.

Under the riders of the supreme court in
the Boo mandamus Case, State Auditor
Kinney has been drawing warrants for the
amounts appropriated by the Legislature to
pay claims. Those whe received the war
rants have been under the impression that
it was only necessary to transmit the little
piece of paper t. the state treasurer in
order to have it paid, or else registered SO
as to draw interest. Tn governor and the
attorney general took the ground that the
warrants did not draw interest, n the at
torney general ordered the treasurer not to
register them. This was don on the theory
that the constitution repealed the law for
the registration of warrants against the
state. Besides this the legislature made no
appropriation to pay interest on warrants.
The treasury is empty and there will
be no money in it until June
when the states twenty-five per cent. Of
license money will be due. At that time a
test case will probably be made on the
question of the warrants drawing interest.
If the court holds that the warrants draw
interest. State Treasurer Hickman will
consider them registered from the day OF
their issue. In September there will be
more license money due, n in December
the state funds will be swelled by the re-
ceipt of more license money, as we'll as the
revenue from taxes. Meantime, those who
are sending their warrants to tho state
treasurer are having them returned with
the information that there is no money to
pay them and that they cannot be regis
tered.
Governor Toole, Secretary of State Rot
witt, and Attorney General Haskell are
in Missoula looking after the states in
terest in a valuable section of land adjoin-
the townsite. The land is claimed as a
school section, but on account of its value
las settled on about a year ago. 1t is To-
Gated between the Northern Pacific depot
and the tunnel, and is worth anywhere
from $4,000 oO to $750,000. The three state
officers. acting as a board Of land commits
s%ioners, will inquire into the situation
of affairs Mt Missouia. If they find the
state has a good case, steps will be taken at
once to reclaim the land from those who
now have possession.
