1t was yesterday made the special or.
der for Wednesday noon.
The Printing Committee has made a
thorough investigation of the question,
and the report is in the shape of iva
bills--one regulating the public printing
and the other abolishing the Bureau OF
Labor Statistics :ld establishing the
Bureau of i.abor ana Printing.
These bilts We're printed in Sunday s
News and Observer.
Introducing them in the House yes
terday, Mr.. Hoey explained that the
committee had fixed the price of the
printing aud the manner in which it
should be given out. The selection of
the printer. he stated would be attended
to by the Democratic caucus.
2 He said the price of the printing had
been reduced from 81 to 80 cents per
thousand ems, reduction of from ) to
10 cents per page or some $1,000 for the
next two years, as compared with the
prices paid under the contract made by
the last Democratic Legislature.
1T is a contract t at is both fair to
the printer and economical TO the State.
|. is the best contract the State has
ever had and it does not work q hard
ship ON the printer"
This brought Mr.. Hampton, Rep,), to
his feet TO get badly hurt.
Does the bill provide for letting the
printing out TO the lowest bidderT' he
asked
1T does not. 1t fixes the price. The
Democratic caucus will attend to the
public printer. But since the gentle
man asks the question, perhaps some
figures might be of interest to him."
With this Mr.. Hoey read the following
statement of the comparative cost of the
public printing for eight years, as taken
from the Auditors report for the years
mentioned:

DREAM OF A GOLD MINE
A BIT OF LEGEND REGARDING ST.
MARY'S.
Story of the Finding of Gold, Murder of
the Finders and Now Comes Helen
to Hunt for 1t.

Great Falls, May 1.-THE value of
Blackfoot reservation has been ques
toned repeatedly, but no one who is
familiar with the growth of a success
full mining camp will doubt it longer.
The missing mine story is now on tap,
and that usually decides the fate of
camp in the affirmative. AS told by
Browning citizen. it has many inter-
esting details. According to him,
Mrs. Dickinson and her son from Da-
kota are now encamped at ST. ,Mary's
and will remain there until the snow
melts enough to let them into the
mountains, when they will search for
mine which was lost by her brother
a dozen or more years ago. She says
that her two brothers, with a Chippe-
wa Indian, came out here at that time
and prospected near st. Mary's and
succeeded in finding considerable of
the precious metal When grub ran
out, they filled cartridges with the gold
and started for home, intending to re-
turn the following spring and bring out
the whole family and all of their poor
relatives, according to the plan usually
followed by placer miners. But they
never came back. Near the Dakota
line they We're robbed and murdered
and, apparently, did not even have
chance to try the gold cure for high
waymen, the Indian alone escaping.
Some three years later he dropped
around in casual way to call on Mrs,
Dickinson, told her the story and also
gave her map of the country, show
ing the gold. AS for himself he had
mind above worldly dross, and proba-
bly, intended to run for the legislature
or something else equally remunerative
and honorable. And then he died. Mrs
Dickinson has restrained her wild de-
sires to amass fortune all in chunk
until the present time. She Is so years
of age.
Although this is very thrilling tale
1t will not cause a rush to the Montana
klondike. 1t, however, recalls the
fact that st. Mary's is one of the finest
fishing countries to be found any
where, and establishes beyond question
that the proper sportsmanlike spirit is
developing early in the season. With
few more stories like this, the per-
manency of the camp will be fixed for
all time.

A number of contractors appeared at

This fact will doubtless swell the men,
bership of the new union to large pro-
portions and may have a tendency to
settle the troubles that have retarded

duct of the old union, as it is regarded
as pretty certain that bricklayers and
masons who want to work will place
their bread and butter interests ahead

way they can get work is by joining

NINE MONTHS OF 1T.
Present Spell of Weather Recalls an
Eleven Months Winter

beer reminded of the Neihart story
A witness was being examined in a
justice court there several years ago
and one of the questions asked by the
attorney was how long had the witness
resided in that camp
One winter" was the reply.
Please be a little more specific in
your answer How many months have
you resided in Neihart?' This was the
next question.
ELEVEN, sir"
That is trifle worse than the con-
ditions here, but unless the cold wealth
er let's up before long Great Falls will
boast of an equally long winter. Veg
citation is very backward and unless
the season is equalized by unusually
hot weather during the summer months
gardens will be total failure. Some
or the men who are engaged in that
business report that while truck has
been up for two weeks it has made
no apparent growth in that time. One
we'll known newspaper man of this
city recently purchased a valuable col
lection of plants from an Eastern nur-
sery and on their arrival promptly set
them out, only to have the entire lot
nipped by the frost of the following
morning. All mention of banana belt
and the tropical climate of Northern
Montana in copy which passes through
his hands hereafter will be badly mutt
lated, as he is ready to swear that the
flora of this part of the state consists
chiefly of land contests and mortgages.
Mr. Chamberlain, who runs a dairy
farm several miles up the Sun river
from this city reports that he has
crossed that river every day for five
months and three weeks this winter
and this exceeds anything he has ex-
perienced during the IA years in which
he has held his present farm. There
can be no doubt as to the severity of
the season, which all are hoping has
passed.
Reports from the mountains state
that the streams are rising rapidly.
The section gangs along the Belt creek
are at work riprapping the railway
embankment in various places, but it
IS probable that in spite of all precau-
tons there will be Interruptions of

Mr.. Doe and Miss Roe Rode Their Wheels

on the Sidewalk.
Great Falls, May 17.-John Doe and
Miss Mary Roe We're before the police
court this afternoon to answer to a
charge of having ridden on the side
walk with bicycles and having run into
an aged woman. That Is the way the
case will appear. on the records, but
as a matter of fact, Miss Mary was not
on deck at all, but was represented by
her escort, John Doe. 1t seems that
they were out for a little recreative
spin last night and, striking a piece
of road which was not to their taste
they took to the sidewalk and ran into
or over the old lady, who this morning
made the complaint The court after
considering the case, decided to give
the pair wholesale prices on this par
ticular offense, and charged each of
them $3.50 straight, and the young man
turned over IS. There is altogether too
much riding on the walks through town,
and if the gallantry of the court is to
give preference to the gentler sex, it is
likely that those who do not ride wheels
and who prefer the walk to the middle
of the street will be kept lodging fe-
male riders all through the season.

ATTORNEY GENERALS DECISION
Given to the County Auditors Association
The Auditors Will he Allowed TX
ira Pay for Work on Deoen-
NAL Land AppraismeDt.

At the meeting of the state associa-
ton of county auditors now in session
at Columbus q number of questions
were decided that are of interest to
Stark county
At the Tuesday afternoon session
Auditor Fullington, of Union county,
chairman of the committee appointed
for that purpose at the last annual con-
vention, presented the report on opin-
ions of the state auditor and the attor-
ney general on some questions which
have perplexed the county auditors.
With reference to the taxing of the
property of National banks, 1t was stat
ed that the capital stock. surplus and
undivided profits should be taken into
consideration in fixing the values Of
shares, and the same valuation should
be placed on such shares as placed upon
other monied capital, and that no hol-
der of National bank shares should be
permitted to deduct from the value Of
the share of such stocks any portion Of
their Indebtedness.
With reference to the taxation of the
realty of Young Mems Christian AS
sociations and like societies, the report
was made that the portions of a Y. M.
G. A. building rented out and used for
profit is taxable.
Again, when an incorporated company
whose home office is in Ohio has ma
chinery and tools enjoyed in other
states, the value of the same should be
listed in the state having the main
office; also that the value of all NOV
able property should be added to the
stationary and fixed property and real
estate and apportioned in such wards,
cities, villages or townships pro rata
in proportion of the value of the real
estate and fixed property
1t was also reported that special as
sessments for public benefits, such as
pike assessments, can be collected on
railroad right of way, and that county
auditors are entitled to extra pay for
making plats for the use of the decen-
nial appraisers.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1899-11-24

that these plans have not been mapped
out as yet. At any rate there has
been no action taken so far, looking to
that end. It seems to be the intention
of the officials to allow the present
managers of the road to operate It for
the present. After the p. & w. has
been secured and is controlled. then
there will be a change in the policy
regarding both the p. e. w. and the c.
T. & V. What that change will be no
one seems to know, and the officials
will not say till the p. e. w. Is under
the thumb of the b. e. o. When asked
when this will be- the officials are re-
ticent, but some of them say that 1t is
only a matter of time. The b. e. o.
has been allowed by the courts to vote
its stock in that road. which insures,
when the annual meeting is held that
the Royal Blue line will get the shorter
road. There was story yesterday
that the party was accompanied by
President King, of the p. e. W., and
that this was conference to discuss
the relation existing between the B. &
o. and the branches 1t hopes sooner or
later to control absolutely. This could
not be substantiated."

JUDGE DAY
Calls the Docket in the U. s.
Circuit Court in

Cleveland Plain Dealer: Judge VIII
liam r. Day, of Canton, will sit on the
United States circuit court bench today
and will call the docket. Judge Taft
will take up the jury and equity docket
December and Judge Day will return
about December 13 to hear equity cases.
The circuit judges will stay in the dis
trict until Christmas. The judges hope
to clear up the docket and a notice was
issued by clerk of the court Wednes-
day to the effect that no engagement
of counsel will be recognized as a reason
for the continuance of a case except an
engagement in the supreme court of
Ohio or the supreme court of the United
States.
This position is not aiken out of dis
respect for the state courts" the no
tice reads, "but because the state courts
are continually in session, while the
circuit judges cannot hold court except
in December"

Big OFFICIALS
Of the B. & 0. in the City, In
specting Their New Prop
erty, the G.. n. g. V.

A special train Of three private cars
arrived in this city at 1880 o'clock,
Thursday morning, on the c, r. g. V.
railway, from the north, conveying the
officials of the company which recently
has acquired the road. Among the
prominent parties on the train were i:
President ]. X. Cowen, Vice President
S. b. Underwood, Superintendent of
Transportation d. r. Marooney, Super
intendent j. T. Johnson and other assis-
tants. The officers are no a tour of
inspection, the first which has been
made since the B. & o. has acquired the
c. T. & V. system. The gentlemen
visited the freight depot, in South
Cherry street, and inspected other prop
erty belonging to the road, and they left
during the afternoon for Pittsburg,
going south from here.
The Cleveland Leader says: "Yester-
day morning President John X. Cowen,
of the Cleveland, Terminal & Valley
paid his first official visit to this city,
since his election that office. He
came in with his special car attached to
the regular train that arrives about the
middle of the forenoon. He was accom-
panied by General Manager Underwood,
of the B. & o. who is also the first
vice-president of the c. T. & v. There
was no special significance to the visit.
Mr.. Cowen was here simply looking
over the property with a view to seeing
what is needed in the road, and
what improvements can be made. He
is also here looking over the status of
the business Of this branch of the B. &
o. The visit Of the president has
awakened speculation as to the time
when the B. & o. will commence to
operate the branch absolutely. It seems
