discovered that il was easier and swifter
10 haul load on wheels than to drag il
along the ground or carry it in his hands.
But. though the origin " the wheels is
thus ancient, IT is remarkable that no
advance was made in the applications If
it TO mechanics or useful purposes, for
many centuries. The Egyptian. the
Assyrian. the Greek and the Roman.
each had his war chariot, but he knew
nothing Of the elegant and luxurious
carriages of our day. Wheeled vehicles.
and every machine in which wheels
were used. remained. down to the early
years Of this century, in lmost as rude
a state as ever. The great awakener Of
gine, servant of man whose power was
limitless and its endurance inexhaustible.
Did you ever think what our modern
world would be without wheels! No
clocks. no watches. no carriages. no
steamboats,, no railroads. To wheels is
due the existence of our great railway
systems, such as the Burlington Route.
which unites Chicago. ST. Louis. Denver
Kansas City. St. Paul. Minneapolis and
other principal cities OF the west with a
steel highway. For safe. speedy and

mandamus was issued by the su.
preme court on Monday, commanding
State Auditor A. L. Cook to pay Samuel
j. Bailey the amount. some 500. due
him for furnishing sand for the proposed
new penitentiary at Billings The board
OF state prison commissioners had
$4,000 at their disposal last year and
10000 this year. for the construction OF
the new prison. The only work done
last year WAS that by Bailey in furnish
ing sand, which was done under con.
tract with the board. His bill was
audited recently by the board OF exam
liners, but the state auditor refused to
draw his warrant for it. He held that
the appropriation for last year not hav.
ing been used before the close Of the
fiscal year. it lapsed and reverted to the
general fund; and that the failure to use
last years appropriation estopped the
board from using this years. In order
ing the mandsmus to issue the supreme
court did not file any opinion. That
will be done in few days by Chief Jus
tice Pemberton. The effect OF the order
however. is to hold that the aprropria
tton is available. The board Of prison
commissioners, having thus gained a
victory. will now GO ahead and advertise
for proposals for building the new peni

ground where it is to be placed. and a
