VERY PROSPEROUS YEAR
Annual Statements of Northern
Montana Banks.
REPORTS ARE FLATTERING
A Fort Benton Bank Which Has Paid
Dividends Equal to It's Capital
Stock Speculation Is Not
Active Now.

Great Falls, Jan. S-According to the
annual statements of the banks in this
part of this state, Northern Montana
has just passed through very profit
able and prosperous year. The Bank
of Fergus County recently passed 10
per cent. dividend, besides passing a
good amount of the reserve fund. At
the same time the statement of 1e-
sources and liabilities shows that the
banks financial condition is highly en-
viable. Down in Fort Benton the
Stockmen's National has just declared
a dividend Of 16 per cent, and boasts
that since it's organization in 1890, it
has paid to it's stockholders just exact
ly the amount of money which they
invested, or in other words, it has paid
dividends amounting to it's capital
stock. And that has happened in a
town which many have supposed to be
dead
are very ffattering. There is very near
ly 100000 in deposits, or about 5000 for
each soul in the city. OF this sum only
100000 draws interest, and that at
very low rate, while on the other hand,
the banks are all loaning money at IL
per cent. whenever a good borrower is
found. The chief trouble Is at the pres
ent time there seem to be few persons
who care to borrow. In other words
the speculative spirit in the city is rot
active. The cash on hand is a large
percentage of the liabilities, and bank
ing men estimate that the three banks
of the city could settle all claims in
side of 30 days if necessary. The fol-
lowing is a statement of the combined
resources of the Great Falls banks, and
it is gratifying to note that the total
of the resources is two-thirds that of
the banks of Spokane, a city three
times the size Of Great Falls.

Law Court Decision.

The following rescript has been
handed down from the law court:
AndroscogSin, IS. Joseph Breton,
petitioner for habeuS corpus ReSclipt.
W hitehouse. j.
In the absence Of any statute. if it
is not stated in either Of two sentences
imposed at the same time that one of
them snail take effect at the expiration
Of the other, the two periods Of time
named will run concurrently. and the
two punishments be executed sinful
taneously.
The petitioner on the first day of
June, 1897, was convicted in the muni-
cipal court Of Lewiston upon two com
plants for illegally keeping intoXicat-
ing liquors for sale, ana received an al
tentative sentence Of 60 days implis-
onpent in each case. 1t was not stat
ed which imprisonment should be suf-
fered first. nor that sentence in either
case should begin at the expiration of
the sentence in the other. The petit
toner duly appealed in each case to
this court sitting below in nisi prisus.
where upon default the Judgment of
the court below was affirmed and q
mittimus ordered to issue; but there
was no order of the court declaring
which Imprisonment should be suffered
first. or that either should begin only
at the expiration of the sentence in the
other. The petitioner was committed
to Jail on the same day that judgment
was affirmed. by virtue of a ittimus
issued by the clerk on that day while
court was in session. At the expira-
ton Of the 60 days named in that mitt-
mus the clerk, without any special or
der of the court, assumed to issue
mttimus in the second case: and from
imprisonment under it the petitioner
sought to be released upon habeas cor
pus.
Held; that the terms Of imprison-
ment in both cases began to run con-
currently from the day of the santen-
ces and expired at the same time.
Exceptions sustained. Prisoner dis
charged.

SMALLPOX AT FALL RIVER.
Three New Cases. Monday-17 in AL Eight
OF Them Serious.

Fan River. Mass, May 29.-The
smallpox epidemic in this city con
tinues to spread. Three more cases
were discovered, today, on Lindsey,
Horton and st. Mary's streets, which
are in the vicinity of Murray street,
where the disease was first located.
Seven houses have been closed and it is
probable that others will be in few
days.
There are now eight severe cases on
record and l. persons who have been
affected. In quarantine at present are
l05 persons. The help employed in the
mills in the vicinity and the children
in the schools are being vaccinated. It
is probable that the schools viii be
closed within a few days.
The board of health is considering
the erection of a temporary hospital at
Somerset Junction for the cases.

OUR ARBITRATION PLAN
Has Excellent Chance Of Being Adopted by
the Peace Conference.

Washington. May 29.-The President ana
Secretary Hay are gratitied at the prece-
dence given by The Hague conference to
the subject Of arbitration which is re-
garded mainly American in conception.
The detailed scheme Of arbitration which
is to be proposed by the United States
delegates was carefully wrought out at
the state department before the commits
sioners sailed from New York 1t will be
laid before the conference, probably to-
morrow.
The details OF the American programme
cannot now be divulged, as a matter of
courtesy to the conference. but IL can be
stated that the American project il re-
markable at once for its simplicity ana
cpmprehCnSiVcneSS. It differs consider
ably from what is known as the Olney-
Pauncefotc proposition as SIT out in the
arbitration treaty which failed Of Tatiti-
cation. 1t provides for a permanent tri-
bunal Of arbitration. an impartial arbi-
tration being thought more probable
thereby than if arbitrators were chosen
in the heat OF controversy.
The news from The Hague that the

the points of difference in their two
schemes of arbitration gives satisfaction
here, for the reason that il promises well
for an easy amalgamation Of opposing
schemes with the American project, the
latter being very similar in principle to
the British plan.
The reported decision Of The conference
to admit as q subject for delibera ton and
action the American proposition to ex-
is also gratifying. The assurance that
England which has so long held alOof
wilt give her support 10 this American
proposition, Is believed almost 70 ensure
its adoption, and If this should be the
case the state department would regard
that one result as more than repayire
the nations concerned for the cost ana
trouble OF assembling the conference.
