Montana Winters Are Simply
Ideal Ones.
AN OLD MAN
Who Ran on the Mississippi for Years
SAYS There is No State Can
Compare With This.

II have cooked all the way from Min
nehaha falls to Baton Rouge on the
Mississippi river steamers. and in all the
principal towns from the head of the
great fathe of waters to the source Of
the muddy Missouri river, but I never
saw any weather to equal this" said
James Vitick last night. "They call me
Steamboat Jim.'" said he, land 1 can't
shake that name. Everywhere l go l
meet some one whom I have cooked for
either on land or water. When 1 was
a boy I went swimming in the Missis-
sippi and fell into the kitchen of a river
teanler and never got out. I have trav-
eled up and down he big stream more
times han I have fingers and toes.
Probably l would nave been there still
had I not made a trip up the Missouri
river out of curiosity. 1t was on this
That was several years ago and here I
am. but I want to say Montana weather
beats 'em all, and this winters weather
takes the cake. A mar is never too old
to learn. Just think Of me, Steamboat
JIM now an old man, who has cooked
in the waters of all the states on both
sides Of the Mississippi, riding a bicycle
in Montana through the dust in the
middle of January! Well, when I think
of it. Amt it enough to sink a boat!"
Steamboat JIM" who is one of the
best known cooks in Anaconda, became a
bicycle rider less than a year ago, and
mounts an ancient machine called the
"Cleveland,' which is prominent on ac-
count of it's wide handle bars. He is a
graceful rider. hut NOT a SnQa6V one
but a continuous one when the roads
are good and he is not employed. He is
also an inveterate smoker and uses a
corncob pipe with a bow stem about IS
inches long. When he rides he smokes,
and has become a prominent figure on
the streets. His gait on his whee is
slow, but his pleasure is complete. He
says if the Mississippi ran through
Montana he would cook on a steamboat,
but he cannot forsake good weather.
therefore he is cooking in a Montana
boarding house, and rides his wheel with
as much ease as a steamboat plows the
big river where he spent his boyhood

Sometimes in the hours Of my waking
Seem to hear music and mlrth
That floats out Of chaos and silence
And reaches the sin burdened earth,
hut know that the glow and gladness
Ia empty IN odor and air.
And the music hear Is In some other sphere.
The land of my longing and prayer.
Some time there will be ripe frultlon,
And shall be dreaming no more;

Official Paper of Nez Perez County
The Code Commission.

News that the report OF the code
commission still fingers in the hands
of the printers and that there can
be no time now for the proper re-
viewing of the work alrel dy done
adds strength to the general feeling
of suspicion that has, from the be-
ginning, fastened itself upon the
action of the code commission. 1t
is not a matter of very ancient
history to recall the fact that from
its inception the code commission
has been the creation of political
intrigue. 1t was charged in the
reports of the last legislature that
the bill was passed to create po-
litical jobs, to reward political
favorites. The appointments con.
frmed that assertion. The saving
clause of the code commission bill
was the provision that their report
was to be made public in October
preceding the meeting of the next
legislature and that copies Of their
report should be sent broadcast
over the state that it might be re-
viewed by the leading attorneys
and county officials. Here was
method whereby errors might be
detected and inefficiency checked
against. The code commission
has done its work. 1t is said that
the net result is four standard
legal volumes. How efficient that
work is, how complete, how ex-
haustive, no one has had a chance
to discover, no one can discover,
for in less than a month the legis-
lature convenes. Between now
and that time the holiday season
intervenes. No attorney or bust
ness man would care to risk his
reputation on such limited re-
view Of work as exhaustive as
this work should be. He will not
care to advise the state to accent
the report and be a party to the
perpetuation of its blunders. The
result will be that the report on
the code will come up as party
measure and be railroaded through.
In the absence Of any knowledge
Of what has been done, the general
suspicion is strengthened that the
whole proceeding smacks of pollti-
cal jobbery. The measure carried
fat political jobs for a few chosen
lieutenants. The responsibility Of
their position and the importance
OF the work in hand seems to have
weighed SO little upon them that
they have not Sc, n 6t to have their
work ready to pass the censure of
the public. If they have been lax
in this, what may we not expect
from the matters of graver impor-
lance intrusted to them. Can the
Legislature afford to stand with
them to foist upon the people so
illadvised measure, carrying,
besides its heavy expenditure of
money, perhaps grave errors that
will inf1ict the people with new
