descriptions of him have not changed
little in nearly 200 years. He was
born in 1712, just a century ahead of
his distinguished son. This was one
case in which the adage about old
mems children has not held good The
name is derived from a political satire
publishedEin the form of play by DR..
John Arbuthnot, who was physician to
the queen in his later years and was
born in 1867. He was a contemporary,
friend and correspondent of Dean Swift
and Alexander Pope. and his admirers
contend that in brilliancy and sound
ness he was the equal of either of
them. The character of John Bull'
appears in a play-molded satire called
Law is Bottomless Pit" 1t was pub
lished in five parts and made five SEN
sations. It's characters are Lord
Strutt," typefying the late king of
Spain; John Bull" an Englishman;
Lewis Baboon," the French king;
Philip Baboon,' duke of Anjou;
Esquire South" king of Spain: Hum
phrey Hocus," duke of Marlborough,
and "Sir Roger Bold" earl of Oxford.
The question at dispute was the sue
cession to the Spanish throne. The sa-
tire was strongly tory in tone. In it
John Bull" is described as an honest,
bold. choleric fellow, a plain dealer, but
of an uncertain temper He was not
afraid of the French, but was inclined
to quarrel with his best friends, par
ticularly if they. offered advice and in
sisted upon it's acceptance. If flattered
he could be led like a lamb. He was
fond of his bottle and spent his money
readily. He was rudy and plump, with
cheeks like q trumpeter. Dean Swift
wrote to a friend concerning the first of
these pamphlets: you must buy a
small two-penny pamphlet called Law
is a Bottomess Pit 1t is very pref
tily written and there will be second
part" The merits of Law is Bot
tomless Pit" consist almost wholly in
hits which applied to persons then liv-
ing and long since forgotten by all save
the historian. The writing is good but
lacks the qualities which made Pope
and Swift great. The five parts of the
satire We're collected afterward and
published under the general title His
tory of John Bull" The English peo-
pie seem to have been flattered on the
whole by the portraiture of their ma
ton and accepted it with enthusiasm.
The first portrait of John Bull IVES
drawn from the description of him in
the Arbuthnot production, and it has
not varied since.-Chicago Chronicle.

Trains Still! Late.

Missoula, April 12.-There has not
been much improvement in the condi-
ton Of the railway transportation. Two
trains came in early this morning that
were the first through trains that have
reached here for several days. The
washout in the far eastern parts of the
state were repaired yesterday so that
these two trains got through, but a
big slide occurred near Custer a short
time after they had passed, and the
line has been blocked again. A train
was made UP at Billings this morning
and started West, but it is now stopped
at Gold Creek by a washout there. The
train left Garrison on time that should
have brought it to Missoula by o'clock
tonight, but it will not be in before
morning, according to present indica-
lions.

BONNER ROAD PROJECT
County Commissioners Carefully
Considering the Matter.
Mr.. BANDMANN'S OFFER
He viii Sell His Toll Road and Bridges
for $4,000 The County Surveyor
Will Advertise for Bids for
Road Around Marshall Grade.

Missoula, April 12.--The county COM
missionerss have spent almost the entire
day in the consideration of the Bonner
road proposition. They have examined
carefully the plans of the county sur
veyor for a road around the Marshall
grade and have reviewed in detail ali
of the scheme suggested for making i'm
provements in the present road over the
grade. d. E. Bandmann was present
a part of the day and a proposition of
purchasing his toll road and bridges
was thoroughly discussed. Mr.. Band
mann has placed the price on his prop
erty and says that he will sell it for
$4,000 to the county. The condition of
his bridges was also taken up and the
testimony of several bridge experts
was taken. 1t seems to be agreed that
the bridges are good for eight or ten
years yet and that they are in much
better condition than has been present
ed. The proposition made by Mr.. Band
mann was taken under advisement.
and the commissioners will not act up
on it until they have satisfied them
selves as to the cost of maintaining the
bridges and building new ones when
the present structures are condemned.
In the meantime, the county surveyor
has been instructed to advertise fer
bids for the construction of a road
around Marshall gade according to the
survey of Mr.. Hughes. Whatever the
result of the deliberations of the COM
missioners, the people up the canyon
are assured Of a passabe county road
that will relieve them of the payment
of toll in case they do not wish to.
There has been no criticism of the
rates charged over the Eandmann road.
They are reasonable enough. The kick
that has been made by the people up
the canyon has been because they have
considered that the principle of a toll
road at the very gate of their city is
wrong and that the county ought to
provide them with means of reaching
the county seat without the payment of
tolls. Mr.. Bandmann has kept his road
and bridges in repair and has collected
no higher tolls than are reasonable,
but it is certainly wrong for people to
be compelled to pay tolls to come to
town. For a long time each year the
county road is not passable, and it is a
case of pay tolls or stay at home. That
is the ground for the objection that is
made by the people in the eastern part
of the county, d.
