old TIMES RECALLED
"Reminiscences Of the Early Days Of
the State Recalled BY State
Treasurer-Elect
An Early Frontiersman Who Prospect
ed at One Time Nearly as Far
as the Klondike.


Plaindealer: State Treasurer Me-
MILAN passed Sunday In the city q
guest at the Dacotah and at the same
time visiting his daughter who is a
student at the state univerity. In
conversation with a representative Of
the Plaindealer Mr.. Mcmillan dropped
into q reminiscent strain Of thought
and recounted many interesting incl
dents in connection with his career
in the far western portion Of this conn-
try and British Columbia a. quarter of
a century ago.
1t was while Mr.. Mcmillan was in
the queens far western domain that
the Canadian Pacific railway was be-
ing constructed. While nominally a
prospector through California, Ore
gon, Nevada and the British posses
sions. at times he engaged in other
occupations. 1t was during one Of
these occasions that he was employed
in work on the railroad. The first
boat to pillow the waters of the Fraser
river, which is an extremely danger
GUS stream with many engulfng and
treacherous rapids, was partly the
work OF the hands Of the present state
treasurer OF North Dakota. Unfor-
tunately for the steamer, which was
built by the road TO save teaming, it
lasted but two trips when it was cast
upon the rocks by the swift currents
a complete wreck.
One thing which attracted my at
tention most on first going into the
British province was the absence OF
side arms, which were as customary
article OF dress in the states as any
thing else remarked Mr.. Mcmillan.
1T was about as uncommon q sight
to see a person carrying a gun there
IN the mining towns as it was to find
one without the article on the other
side OF the border. This was due in
a great measure to the influence of
one man, Sir Matthew Begbie, the
chief justice Of the present province
OF British Columbia. He was a ter
ror to evil doors in every OF the
word and 1t was often said OF him
that he took an actual delight In or
dering a man hung. After a few
summary executions criminals Of ali
classes came to have a wholesome re.
gard for Canadian justice and seldom
ran foul Of the law and Begbie. Why
I remember on one occasion con.
tinued the now interesting narrator
that a company of the lowest elias.

to work on the railroad and also t.

THE CURFEW LAW.
Views OF the Proposition from People
Who Know


There is very little opposition to the
proposed curfew ordinance as gathered
by Councilman Harry Glenn.
Chief of-Police Howard is an ardent
advocate OF the proposed curfew law.
lie says that it will tend to keep children
off the streets at night and away from
bad associations, and the effect will be
greater than one can anticipate. Inc
streets now are filed with crowds OF
children that should be at home, and he
feels that no parents will oppose the
workings of an ordinance that Will aid
them in training their children.
Sergeant Tomlinson thinks the law a
good one. if it can be enforced. He is,
also favorable to d restriction of the
privileges allowed proprietors Of bar
rooms, and believes that some reform
along that line should be attempted.
Sergeant Gibson is also an advocate
of the curfew law. believing that much
good will result in its effect.
City Treasurer Phillips is enthusiastic
in his advocacy of the measure.
Col John Murphy, one of the most phil
osophical and conservative of citizens,
says:
1.-The proposed law is. in my mind, a most
commendable one. and can but rebound to
the elevation of the morals of our city.
The youngsters VITO are now permitted TO
roam the streets al night and to fall into
undesirable company should be restrained.
dinance 10 the letter, the effect will be
far-reaching. I will be glad to see the or
dinance put into operation, and hope the
Council will not hesitate In acting upon
the measure when it is placed before

myself in a faint at the end of race.
Formerly l had more OF less nervous
