Special Correspondence of the Standard.
Livingston, May 12.-Arbor day was
observed here by the closing of banks
and public offices, but tree planting was
not very general. This is accounted for
by the fact that ii was chilly ana
windy day. AS the weather grows more
favorable there will no doubt be con-
siderable interest taken in setting out
shade and ornamental trees. The slight
trouble and expense required In TINS
work, in comparison with the magnifi-
cent results which will be obtained in
a few years If the practice is kept up,
should inspire every real estate owner
in the city to cooperate in general OBJ
servance of the practice of tree plant
ing.
]. L. Parry. mine foreman of the
Montana Coal & Coke company, who
was i'm the city tonight, states that
the company intends to increase Its
output and is going to put on 80 TO 40
more coal miners, to be employed In
new rooms being opened up in the
mines at Horr. Mr.. Parry says miners
can make from 50 to $3.50 per day in
this work.
In the report of the republican con-
vention i'm Livingston, w. e. Thompson
was incorrectly quoted as saying that
he had in years past been an advocate
of the gold standard. What he did say
was that he never had been in favor
of the single standard, but that while
he had always been in favor of free
coinage, some years ago he had looked
at it from a selfish standpoint. as be-
ing beneficial only to the silver-produc-
ing states, but now he was convinced
that ii was an issue of more than local
application and of vital Importance to
the people of all sections.
Philip Czaik, a 15-year-old Polish lad
from ST. Cloud, Mimi, who was travel
ing on foot and by box car whenever
he could catch a ride, applied to the
Livingston police officers for assistance
a few days ago and has been an occu-
pant of the Jail ever since. His mother
is a widow washerwoman of st. Cloud,
and not being able to provide living
for all the family, she advised Philip to
go West and seek work. The boy start
ed out about three weeks ago, with a
few dollars in his pocket, enough to
buy something to eat for few days,
but not enough to pay railroad fare
for any great distance. The little fell
low wanted to go to Boulder, as he had
an indistinct recollection of some peo-
pie removing from st. Cloud To that
place some years ago, but he could not
remember the name of the family. He
walked much of the way. The last time
he was put off from the train was at
Big Timber, and from there he trudged
on foot to Livingston. When he ar
rived here he was footsore and COM
pletely exhausted Sheriff Young, when
he discovered the boys plight, had him
taken to the Jail and given medical at
tendance. The lad is yet hardly able
to stand on his feet and 1T will be sew
eral days before he can resume his
journey.
Swan Hilberg. the man who threw
himself in front of the Park train at
Chico last week, has become a little
more rational than he was, but he can
hardly be considered sane yet. An ex-
animation as to his sanity will be made
when Judge Henry returns from Big
Timber.
l.. p. Richardson. treasurer of the
Montana Coal company at Horr, was in
the city to-day.
b. S. Robertson. formerly conductor
on the Montana division of the North
ern Pacific, now an employee of the
b., A. & p, came over from Anaconda
this week and is spending a few days
with Livingston friends.
