NAL, and few people credit him with any

A writer who was interested in the

a car and asked the driver about the

the driver. "That lady waiting just;

we can't stop the car so as to block
the cross street. Now watch the,

The writer did as he was told. The,
horses noticed the woman waving.
but they kept right on until the street
was crossed, and then they slowed up,
without any word or sign from the
driver.
''There,' said the driver, triumph
antly, as he turned the brake in

SHORT-STOPs.
What the People Are Saying.

A taxpayer, who has taken the pains to
| read the extraordinary report or the
finance committee of the city council,
| contributes the following comment:
Now gentlemen, If allowance be made
for the extraordinary expenses met dur
ing the year it will be seen that with
out this extraordinary outlay the rate
of tax would have remained as it was in
the past: s1.10.'-l Extract from report.
Which desirable result-throwing sand
into the eyes of the public--certainly
would have been attained by the liberal
use OF the assessment screw, hut by some
incemprehenSible miscalculation the
amount needed for general expenses.
Hence we must now have recourse to the
rate screw and levy tax OF $l.56.5 with
the assurance Of giving both screws an
other turn next year in order to pay the
interest on the issue of bonds to the
amount of S250,0O0, which the taxpayers
of the city will think over when they
come to vote for the proposition.
When the old women begin to throw
missiles at the head of the invader he had
better beat retreat,-when the taxpay-
ers begin to comprehend the hollowness
of all the tine-spun Sophistry of our city
financers it is time they were packing
their carpet-bags, and putting their house
in order.
The matter is not so difficult that the
dulleSt taxpayer does not understand 1t.
The ex 2ense of the city government under
the present administration has run up to
$44S, 4i0.47; to meet this the city has levied
tax of Sl.56.6 on the SlCo.
Notwithstanding this increase tax, the
assessments has been raised several mil
lion Of dollars; and to furnish this spend
thrift administration with ample election
funds, they propose that the taxpayers
shall vote them s250,OOO additional, in
bonds.
To Justify all this, the finance commit
tee tell the people that we had the small
pox last year, and it cost $751; 900. We also
had an election, which was won by Mr..
Callaghap-the election brought the Mex
lean indicators and the smallpox.
To further throw dust in the eyes of the
people they are told that the city hall
cost s5O,OC0 more than it was contracted
for; whose fault is this? and that the
fiscal year has been stretched to Is months
by the new charter, In all an unforeseen
emergency, costing total OF sl43, s2O19
The people must keep their eyes on
this little extra amount that forms the
basis of this extra turn Of the assessment
and tax rate screws, and do little figur-
ing on their own account. The doing
away with the volunteer fire department
added $780, 900 to the expenses; the bridges
cost $4,000 more than they should have
cost, and IL the extravaganza In every de-
partmept of the city government Is figured
up 1t will amount to over 100000 more
than was necessary to run the city ef-
ficiently.
All this will be fully discussed item by
item, and the indictment drawn for the
people to vote on.
The report Of the finance committee
will be fully discussed.

AFTER MONTANA GRASS.
Wyoming Cattlemsn Preparing to Dri
Over the Border,

Wyoming Cattlemen Preparing to Drive
Over the Border.
News comes to the residents of Miles citv
who have been former residents of Wyom-
ing that the outfits in that state are making
quiet preparations to drive their herds of
cattle across the border and Oh to the Mon
tana ranges, says the Stock Growers
Journal. This in the first place is cheeky
thing for Wyoming people to think of do
ing, after the way in which they have acted
toward the Montana cattlemen. And
surely they cannot exrect to be received
with open arms and friendly greeting after
their action last year in throwing obstaoles
ia the wav Of cattle driven into Montana,
and the determined action Of the authori-
ties In thst state this year denying the
privilege Of driving across the state of
Wyoming from Grin junction to Montana.
Montana had prospects for good grass,
the rains seem to indicate that our grass
would wave in great billows over our hills
and valleys, but the reports are that the
grass does not show up, and the strong
winds prevailing since the rains let up have
made cattlemen and horsemen feel quite
blue. The feed will be short for our own
range animals and the range will not sup
port the extra strain that the running in of
Wyoming cattle will impose upon it. The
idea of driving into the Montana ranges is
suicidal. Cattle in Wyoming NAV be killed
or stolen but if they are driven into Mon
tana it is a sure thing that they will die
Of starvation and the drive in from Wvo-
ming will carry destruction to the whole
cattle interests of the northwest. 1t is bet
ter for the Wyoming men to stay where
they are. taking philosoph,cally what may
come. than to drive to Montana into the
very jaws of destruction.
