STILL ON TRIAL.
Hilberg Case Continued Before Judge
Norrell

The trial of Christopher Hilberg on a
charge of betraying Annie Ward was
continued before Judge Norrell yester-
day. 1t is likely that the hearing will
occupy all, of today. The evidence for
the prosecution is all in and the state
thinks a good case has been made out.
When placed on the stand yesterday
Hilberg denied absolutely that he had
had any Illicit relations with the COM
planning witness. He was subjected to
a vigorous cross examination by As
sistant County Attorney Van Colt and
was ON the stand most of the after
noon. When he had finished, his
mother began to testify. She was still

Captain ]. J. Greenewald and the
men OF the signal corps of the Utah
national guard are anxious to go into
the service Of their country. They wish
to go as an organization. to be known
as the Utah signal corps. Yesterday
Governor Wells wired to the war de-
partnient the wishes of the prospective
volunteers, and asking that they be
permitted to join the army as a body.
No answer had been received at a late
hour last night.
In the message the executive took
occasion to pay a high compliment TO
the efficiency of the corps, and eX-
pressed the hope that the department
would see fit to accept the tender. In
speaking OF the matter Lest night, Gov
ernor Wells said he hoped the young
men would be given the opportunity
they desire.
Acceptance Not Likely.
Il hardly think it likely thar the gov
ernment will take the signal corps as a
body, however, he added. such a
proceeding would be very unusual. Of
fers of this kind have been refused in
other instances, and l have no reason
fer believing an exception viii be made
in this case"
Captain Greenewald talked very en-
thnsiastieall about the proposition
yesterday afternoon. IL we are ac-
cepted," said he. I'VE will, am sure
make a record for ourselves and for the
stale Of Utah as the other volunteers
have done. If Governor Wells gets a.
favorable reply to his telegram we can
muster up 10 full strength on twelve
hours notice. Our membership is
tEcnty-one now and twenty-three is the
limit under the state law, although 1
am Informed the government permits
recruiting up TO forty.
Can Easily Fill Up.
ct won't be hard to get as many as
that. because we already have enough
applicants to ill the places. They are
all unmarried, as is the case with every
man in the corps"
Speaking of the work that has been
accomplished by himself and his men.
Captain Greenewald said that mes
sages had been flashed from the south
ali over Salt Lake valley. Successful
signaling has been done between Muir
ray and Ensign peak. as we'll as be-
tween Fort Douglas and Saltair and
other points.

HEARD AND SEEN
IN TIMMONY'S COURT

Harry Hastings, the Knutsford bell
boy, pleaded guilty to stealing some
marked money set as q trap for him.
before Judge Timmony yesterday, and
was sentenced to fifty days in jail. The
money in question belonged to Harry
Burton, the day clerk, who was present
to testify against Hastings. Prosecu-
tor Diehl stated that Manager Hen
shaw was not DESTROYS of prosecuting
the other cases against the young man,
though other losses had been sustained
by guests of the house. Mr.. Henshaw
informed the court that Hastings had
been seen trying to get into a locker,
and sentence was passed.

Task of Addressing.

Then came the addressing of the
10000 and odd envelopes. It would be
no small tasck to lick the gum on each
of those envelopes if they did things
that way in the county treasurer's Of
fee -these->~days.~. Instead of going
through the old-fashioned formality of
applying a warm. moist tongue to the
gunmed flaps, Treasurer Lynch's men
used wet sponges.
Even at that the job was no small
one. The addressing occupied a num-
Der of days. Then the notices were
folded and thrust into the envelopes.
they were sealed and the scene of ac-
tivity was shifted from the treasur-
ers office TO the postoffice. Mr.. Lynch
was far too wise to use unstamped en-
velopes, so that feature of his contract
was easy. If he had had to put stamp
on each one the work would have been
almost interminable.
Cost of the Envelopes.
The mere cost of the stamped envel-
opes was no small item. They We're
obtained at an expense of $21 per thou
sand or more than $40 for the lot. A
long sigh of relief went up from Treas
urer Lynch's office when a mail cart
took the last batch of notices away.
People should begin receiving them
today" said Mr.. Lynch, in speaking of
the matter yesterday. I'VE have been
sending out the notices, a batch at a
time for a day or two, but I under
stand the postoffice gives other first
class mail matter the preference over
them, so they will not be delivered as
promptly as regular letters would be. )"
The present administration of the
treasurer's office is to be congratulated
on it's promptness this year. 1t is sew
eral days ahead of the time required
by law. This is due in about equal
parts to the efficiency and promptness
of the treasurer and to Auditor Woods
promptness- in turning the tax rolls
over. The taxes will begin coming in
at lively rate within a few days now,
it is expected, and the county treasury
will wax fat

and Mr.. Embree stepped from the ca
boose, only to be struck by the other

County Treasurer Lynch has finished

man who pays less than so cents to the
county has been notified as respectfully
as the man who pays thousands. Just
40,201 notices were sent out.
The task was a tremendous one. In
the first place every one of the notices
had to be filled out on a written form
specially prepared for the purpose. This
labor alone occupied all the time for
eight and nine hours day of large
force of clerks. 1t took something like
two weeks of constant work to COM
plete this feature, which was merely

Every resident Of Missoula county
and the Bitter Root valley should feel
personally indebted to Mr.. I. d. O'Don-
nell of Billings, says the Missoulian.
More than any other man or body of
men he has attracted national attention
to it's great industrial u other
than mining.
And his recent incessant and indie
fatigable efforts towards making the
coming National Irrigation congress,
to be held in Missoula next September,
a mammoth success entities him to the
lasting gratitude of every public spirited
citizen of Ravalli and Missoula coun-
ties.
Recent Associated Press dispatches
inform US that largely. through his
efforts the National Forestry association
will, in all probability, convene there
contemporaneously, and perhaps hold
it's proceedings co-jointly with the irri-
cation congress.
The energetic efforts taken by such
men as Mr.. O'Donnell and Prof. Newell
of the United States geological survey
to make the coming congress and it's
possible concomitant conventions a
grand success make it doubly incum-
bent upon our people to see to it that
Missoula does her part in the initiatory
work of attracting attention to these
meetings and augmenting the attend

in contributing to the furtherancy Of
the ends indicated.
