JEFFERSON CITY, ,darch S.-Governor
Stevens today vetoed the bill requiring the
execution of all murderers on gallows to
be erected In the state penitentiary in Jeffer-
son City. Great pressure has been brought
to bear on tho governor by citizens here in
favor of veto because Of the fear that the
capital city will be known as a hangman's
city. The governor in returning the bill
to the senate without his approval, states
that the officers and contractors of the peni-
tentiary believe that it will have a demoral-
zng effect on the coLvicts. The senate
made the veto message a special order for
3 o'clock Wednesday, when 1t Is believed

CHICAGO March Sat the little Greek
church on the north side 500 trained soldiers
iers OF the Grecian army reserves yesterday
afternoon swore to return at the call OF their
king to fight for their native land. The
right hands OF the tall men in the audience
shot up in the air when Father Piambolis,
the pastor of the colony, proposed the oath,
and their smaller neighbors waved their
arms wildly in the air as they promised
Before Almighty God to defend the flag
and the soil of Greece, to obey the COM
mands OF the king and his captains In all
things. and to die rather than give up to
the enemy" They will hold themselves in
readiness to embark on the next steamer
to Piraeus, where transports should be pro-
vided to carry them to the army of the
king. The priest explained to the excited
men the appeal which King George sent to
the Greeks in America calling upon them to
rally to their countrys aid. The priest ad-
vised his people to arrange their affairs and
be in readiness to go as soon as final or
ders should come. The work OF enrolment

SAN FRANCISCO. March SIN response
to questions as to the number of Greeks
resident on the Pacific coast who are ready
the local Hellenic society says:
There are about 900 Greeks on the
coast. They are engaged in various business
pursuits. Out of this number at least 900
are willing TO serve their country and
are ready to leave for Greece or Crete at
days notice. Several Of these are mar
rled, but that will not interfere with their
departure. One and all say that they will
make any sacrifice for their king and coun-
try. We fear that our nation is so poor
owing to the heavy drain upon it's financial
resources that the government can not fur
nish funds to pay the heavy cost of trans
portation. However, some OF us intend to
so to Greece and fight, even II we have to
pay our own passage"

'Doc." Hersey Says Montana is the Best
State in the Union.
A. H. Hersey, who recently returned
from tour OF the coast, in an interview
published in the Helena independent
shows Montana to be in much better con
dition than the country which he visited.
He reports the city Of Portland to be
"wretchedly, sullenly dull" There are
nearly three thousand empty houses in
that city; department stores are doing the
most of the business, and smaller dealers
are crowded out; however unu cuov Or
living is very much less there than here,
but Mr.. II. argues that cheap prices make
cheap people and destroy general pros
perity. Seattle is very dull, but Tacoma
is worse. He claims that about one third
Of the city of Tacoma is practically un-
tenanted. Spokane is having something
of a boom and growth, largely on account
of the movement of prospectors and mi
ners to the mining regions of British Co
lumbia, all the travel going by the way of
Spokane. Some building is being done
there but there are many idle men, He
speaks we'll of the Rossland mining dis
trict but believes that it is being over
doomed. In reply to the question, "What
are your conclusions, then, as to the COM
parative conditions in Montana?" his an
sWer was:
"My opinion is that Montana is the best
state in the Union, and that our people
had better content themselves to remain
at home and make the best of things.
Our mines give usasubstantial back bone,
better than booms, and certainly infinitely
better than the declining agricultural,

Mrs. w. w. Higgins Dies While on Her

On Sunday afternoon last the people Of
our little city were called to pay the last
sad rites to one who has been for many
years dweller in our midst; and for the
second time within few short months
the dark angel has Invaded one OF our old i.

has been called away. After weeks Of
patient suffering, during which the best
Of medical skill was employed and gentle
hands were ever ready to minister to her
comfort, the spirit OF Mrs. w. w. Hig
gins passed peacefully from earth
Mrs. Higgins had been q sufferer for
many years from nervous malady Of a
most distressing character, and the re-
cent sudden death of her son Sterrett
sent shock to her nervous system from
which she never recovered. a few days
previous to her death it was decided to
take her east for treatment, her friends
hoping that the journey would divert her
new surroundings and change of climate
she would improve in both mind and
body. AS last resort the journey was
attempted, and in company with her son
Irwin and skilled nurse the journey
was begun. But the task proved too
much for her weakened condition and
she died before reaching Livingston.
Her remains We're brought back to the
home where she had lived for so many
years, and on Sunday afternoon services
were held at the home, conducted by
Rev. E. G. Prout Of the Episcopal church,
of which church Mrs. Higgins was a
faithful and Jealous member Her ven

Deer Lodge River Gets Tear and
Does Much Damage.
The Deer Lodge river, not to be out
done by the other streams of the country,
got on high old tear the latter part of
last week and made things lively while it
lasted When we went to press last Fri
day the water was still rising, carrying
down with it huge blocks of ice and
threatening destruction to everything
within its reach. For time it was feared
the railroad bridge and the wagon bridge
a short distance below it would be par
TALLY or wholly carried away by the roar
ing flood, but by prompt efforts on the
part of the section crew and others the
railroad bridge escaped serious injury.
The wagon bridge, however, did not fare
so we'll, as portion of the piling was
carried down by the strong current.
OF the other bridges along the river
that Of Peter Walton, short distance
above town, was entirely swept away,
while the new bridge erected last year, a
few miles below town, was partially
carried out.
At Garrison grave fears were enter
tanned for the iron bridge on Friday, but
through the efforts of Surveyor Davis and
others it escaped without much injury.
The foot bridge which connects the town
with an island in the river was swept out
Thursday night.
A vast amount of damage has been
done to roads in every direction, and
there will be a heavy draft on the road
fund this year.

Desert Land Claims.

Register w. +. Cox of the Helena land
office has received a letter from the inte-
rior department at Washington about an
nual payment on desert land claims, says
the Helena Independent. Heretofore it
has been held that a purchaser of desert
land was required to eXpend 81 an acre
each year, and if he should pay more than
that sum it would not be placed to his
credit the next year, but he would be re-
quired to pay the annual assessment as
before. The rule is reversed and moneys
paid in one year in excess of the amount
required must be credited by the receiver
upon the year following until the amount
of So per acre has been paid.
