the ravine terminating at the twelve feet

astonishing feat performed that the
guard had no time to raise his rifle and
fire. Rowland is fifty years of age and
only five feet seven and half inches in
stature; but he is wonderfully agile for Il
man of his years. Scarcely had he
touched the ground than he bounded
like deer into the bushes and was in
stantly lost to view. A posse was sent
out Of the penitentiary and the bushes
searched for some distance. but Row
land was nowhere TO be seen. Men were
out all night watching the roads leading
from New Westminster and patrolling
the river bank, but the runaway was

men occasionally meet there of an after
noon' when there is nothing doing to dis
cuss the silver question or swap yarns on
the palmy days Of yore. 1t is in the
south part of town and of late it has
been the scene of some very animated
debates on the probable action of con-
gress on the currency question. Every

demned for the hard times. Some of

board were but the creatures Of the
statute and as such should at all times
be willing to hear from the people they
represent. The statutes provides that
the board is to sell the bonds at public
or private sale and with the proceeds of
such sale construct whatever buildings
the people may previously have elected.
How then could the board award the
contract to one man and allow him to
start and stop the work whenever he
was fortunate enough to dispose of a
block of the bonds. He might start the
work and then sue the board for money
with which to carry it on. He would
have grounds for a suit if he had any
kind Of a contract to 10 the work. The
prospects OF hard times were already on
us and for the board to allow the work
to start on an uncertainty as to whether
the men would be paid was bound to
work hardship on the men employed
on the building.
r. f. Brady spoke in similar strain.
though he confessed that il the money
could be raised as Prentiss stated and
there was surety the workmen would
be protected there was 20 use frettng
about the affair. Then followed a cross
fire between Will Hanks and j. l.. Har-
ris, Ira Myers. and others because Hanks
claimed the board of trade had in
suited the trustees and then came up in
a mob to bulldoze them. After an ami
mated discussion they gave way to A. VI.
Scott, who said he would take the blame
for sending the committee before the
board as he proposed it. Like every
body else he had been deceived by the
advertisement, which was certainly mis-
leading. Prentss then repeated his as
sertions that no contract would be
awarded unless the party taking the
same could realize on the bonds. so the
discussion practically ended after James
Donovan. j. +. Reynolds. and a. w.
Craig had aired their views.
The two bids which had been received
were then opened. Mckenzie and
Leuchar offered TO do the work for
3G5,io and Mckay Bros. for S599iO,
the latter specifying that they would
take"legal bonds for the work.
The board adjourned until this ever

bids

Lost His \alise.

A party about to take the train for
Neihart yesterday went to the depot an
hour or so ahead of train time and in an
absent-ininded sort of way left his vaIise
on the platform and returned to town.
When he went back to take the train he
was unable to find his grip. He notified
the police, who at once instituted search.
hoping to catch the thief with the stolen
property in his possession. They soon
got track of the vaise. 1t was found in
an outbuilding near the Cascade hotel.
None of the contents had been removed.

NO ENCAMPNIENT.


Order for the EncampInent of
the National Guard.
HELENA, Aug 29.-The governor yes
terday wrote letter to Adjutant Gen
eral Lloyd to the effect that the pro-
posed encampment of the national guard
which was to have been held from Sept
s TO Sept IL at Fort Ellis, would not
take place. The Acknowledgement is di-
rected to countermand the order for the
encampment Gov. Richards found upon
investigation that over $4,000 of the
state funds was locked up in suspended
banks. While it is amply secured aud
will at some time be at the disposal of
the state, it is not available Just now.
Hence the necessity for abandoning the
ef campnent this year. The amount
appropriated for that purpose for 1898
will, when it becomes available. lie in
the treasury until the next legislature
transfers it by law to some other fund.
