ROBERT VAUGHN.
Brief Sketch of His Journey to Mon
tana and His Success in
Life.
A Strenuous Defender of the Inter-
ests of Great Falls and
Her People.

The Northwest Magazine for January,
1894, gives a biographical sketch of our
respected fellow citizen, Robert Vaughn,
written by Jorry Collins. From this
sketch the following excerpts are made:
"Mr. Vaughn left Livingston county,
Illinois. March 4, 1864, with Messrs.
Glib, Martin, Jackson. and Dunston for
Alder gulch, Montana, supposed by
them to be in Idaho. Four horses and
a dead axe wagon was their mode Of
travel. Council Bluffs wac then a small
settlement, Omaha had only 1,2O0 inhab-
itants. At Omaha they made up a train
Of 100 wagons. An interesting account
is given how his party joined Joe Nc
Knights train after following up the
North Platte river to old Fort Laramie.
After skirting the Wind River mount
aims to the west and undergoing many
hardships and dangers, Mr.. Vaughn ar
rived at Alder gulch, July ID, 1864. after
nearly four months travel. Being a
man of keen observation he soon discov-
cred the capabilities of Montana for
stock raising and agriculture. In 1869
he located a farm and stock ranch in
Sun River valley. This tract of land
was the first in that region entered in
the United States land Office.
From this time on he devoted his atten
ton to the raising of highbred horses
and cattle. and some of the finest road
sters IN the state today were raised by
him. His exhibits at fairs were always
an attraction, and the race course has
not u%noften seen him a winner. This
farm Mr.. Vaughn resided on for twenty
years, when he sold ranch and stock to
Capt. Thos. Couch for $4,000. This is an
illustration of successful Montana farm
ing.
After closing out his interests, Mr..
Vaughn removed TO Great Falls. He
was not a stranger here. however, for
from the inception of Hon. Paris Glib
sons project Of building a town at this
point. Mr.. Vaughn had been an en-
thusiastic supporter OF the plan, not
only by good counsel but by deeds. He
was one of the earliest investors in real
estate. and is today the sole owner Of
two splendid blocks in the business cen
tire of the city, besides other property
improved and unimproved.
"Mr. Vaughn was born in Montgomery
shire, Wales. in 1896. and came TO the
United States when twenty years Of age.
He is an enterprising, progressive citizen,
and has contributed even more than his
quota Of earnest telling work to promote
the veal of Great Falls and surrounding
country. In every undertaking for the
public good Mr.. Vaughn is found at the
forefront.
Except the position Of county com
missioner he has never held a public
Office, nor sought one, but has always
taken a lively interest in public AFFAIRS.
In the ~eulogistic part Of the above
sketch The TRIBUNE wishes 20 heartily
join in confirmation, az thefacts as above
stated are known by all the old citizens
to be true.

Much of what there is of beauty in

wealthy family of brewers named
Jacobson. The founder of the house,
DR.. Jacobson, now deceased, gave dur
ing his life almost million dollars for
public purposes. The son in 1882
opened a beautiful art gallery to the
public, the entrance fees to which go
to support an asylum. This collection
is now about to be turned over en-
tirely to the city, as soon as a suit
able building to house it can be fin
ished. In 1888 this one set aside a
million kroner, or something over a
quarter million dollars, which is in
four funds for the following purposes:
To beautify q church, to support poor
working people, to ornament parks
and public squares with bronze
statues, and to erect museum What

Washington, Dec. 10.-The new JAP
anese treaty which was signed No
vember %, between the United States
and the empire OF Japan was trans
mitted to the senate December 9th,
and referred to the committee on for
eign relations. President Cleveland,
in transmitting it to congress COM
mentS that the treaty provides that
citizens and subjects of each Of the
countries shall have full liberties to
travel or reside in any part of the
territories OF the contracting parties
and shall enjoy the liberties and the
rights, and be subject to no higher i'm
ports or charges that native citizens:
that there shall be a reciprocal feeling
in commerce and navigation between
the countries without having to pay
taxes or imports or duties greater than
those paid by the native citizens; pro-
vided, however, that nothing in the
foregoing affects the laws which are
in force or which may hereafter be
enacted in either of the two countries.
1t is further provided that no other or
higher duties shall be imposed on i'm
portatiCns from Japan and vice versa
than on like articles manufactured in
any foreign country, nor shall any
prohibition be maintained on impor-
tationS of like article manufactured in
any other country. The last provision
is not applicable to sanitary prohibi-
tons.
An arrangement similar to that for
importationS is provided for the ex-
portatiOnS, and citizens of each coun-
try are accorded a perfect equality of
treatment with the native citizens in
all matters of public business. The
vessels of the respective nations are
to be accorded equal rights in the
ports of the two countries, and re-
garding the coasting trade it is pro-
vided that citizens of the nation par
ties to the treaty shall enjoy the
rights granted under the laws to citi-
zenS of any other country. The jap
aneSe are to permit vessels of the
United States to carry cargoes be-
tween the open ports of the empire,
excepting to and from the ports of Osa-
ka, Militia and Ebisuminato. 1t is pro-
vided that vessels compelled to take
shelter in ports of the nation parties
to the treaty are at liberty to refit
therein and put to sea without any
dues other than payable by national
vessels except in the case of a master
of a vessel, under the necessity of dis
posing of part of his cargo, in which
event he is bound to conform to the
regulatins and tariff of the place to
which he may come. All proceedings
relative to the salvage of wrecked YES
sells shall be in accordance with the
laws of the country where the vessel
is wrecked. The citizens in each
country are granted the same protec-
ton as the native citizens in regard to
patents, trade marks and designs.

INCOME TAX COLLECTION.
Regulations Governing it to Be Issued
by Secretary Carlisle.

Washington, Dec 1O.-Secretary
Carlisle had a conference with Com
missioner Miller, of the internal rev.
enue bureau, at which were discussed
the regulations recently prepared to
govern in the collection of the income
tax. The regulations are very lengthy
and cover every question which Is
likely to arise in the administration OF
the law. They are not, however, like
ly to be promulgated for some days
yet, as the secretary has granted the
request of some gentlemen to be heard
before the regulations are finally ap-
proved.
Secretary Carlisle is arranging the
machinery for the collection Of the in
come tax with evident confidence that
the necessary funds for its operation
will be forthcoming in the near future.
He has submitted an estimate of $780,
900 for the employment of BOB addi-
tional deputy collectors. ten extra
revenue agents and other expenses in
the execution of the statute. and is
now acting with the expectation that
congress will speedily provide the sum
required. This estimate is in addition
to the $4,000 already appropriated for
stationery. printing, etc.

PAWNSHOPS STARTED
PRIESTS.

Contemporary Review: There are
records Of a pawn shop regulated in
the interest of the borrowers in Ba-
varia, in 1893, and one in the, Franche
Comte in 1850, before the first Italian
monte di pieta was established by
priest at Perugia in 144O. The move
ment for state-regulated' pawn shops
received it's great impetus from the
action of the statesman-mOnk and So
cial democrat, SavonarOla, who liber-
ated the Florentines from oppression
and gave them popular institutions.
In no other direction were his serv-
ices to the people more successful than
in founding monte di pieta. The law
for creating his monte di pieta was
passed in 1895, and before many years
they were established in all the prin-
cipal towns in Italy and had spread
throughout Europe.
The first monte di pieta in France
was started at AvignOn in 1877, and
still exists. Their establishment in
the Netherlands dates from the six
teenth century. A Spanish priest Don
Francisco Piquer, founded the monte
di pieta of Madrid in 17O5, starting
with the modest capital of pence,
which he found in the offertory box
he had placed in the church to receive
contributions for the institution By
the end Of the seventh century there
were monte de pieta, formed more
Or less after the italian model, in most
countries of Europe.
The characteristics of the original in
situations remain with those Of today,
although they have long since ceased
to be managed by the priests, or to
be under the influence of the churches.
The main object which Savonarola
and other early founders had in view
the protection of the poor from usur-
ers and their relief in periods of dis
tress-is still maintained. the month de
piete in all Latin countries are asso-
ciated with charitable institutions and
hospitals.
