He met with reverses during the panic
Of 1873. and in 1879 removed to Fort
Benton. Mont, where he engaged in
| sheep raising. He was among the first
in that region to take up the industry
and has continued the business with
profit. In 1882 he visited the falls Of
the Missouri river, and. on examining
the resources of the surrounding coun-
try, was impressed with the advan-
tages of the place for city, because
of its unlimited water power. its de-
posits OF coal, and extent of agricultur-
al and grazing lands. With James ].
Hill of st. Paul, he acquired title to
the town and named it Great Falls. By
the completion of the st. Paul, Mime
apolis and Manitoba railroad to that
point in 1887 a great stimulus was
given to the town, which increased
TO city of $4,000 inhabitants. To
Mr. Gibson is due its splendid public
park system, the first in the Northwest.
He was organizer of the Great Falls
Water Power and Town Site company
and has been active in the support Of
every enterprise in the city. He has
much of his wealth invested in the
gold, silver, iron, and coal industries
of the surrounding regions.
He was a delegate to the Montana
Constitutional convention in 1889 and
was Senator from Cascade County TO
the first Legislature, where he advo-
Gated the consolidation of all State

Strange RequeSf Of Porto
RfcdnS.

In view of the congressional policy
toward Porto Rico we cannot pretend
establishment at the extraordinary
protest" made to the President by a
delegation of islanders representing a
mass meeting held at Juan early in
February. The delegates asked the
President to direct Governor Allen to
call a special session of the territorial
legislature for the purpose of repeal
ing tax law passed only a few weeks
ago by that body and signed by Gov
ernor Allen. The petitioners had a
long list of objections to the law.
which imposes a tax on property ana
on incomes. They and those for whom
they spoke prefer the continuation of
the old system Of insular and munich
pal taxes, coupled with the customs
duties collected under the Foraker act
and covered Tin part, at leasD into
the Porto Rican treasury. The new
law, they apprehend, will work great
mischief. 1t will withdraw money
from circulation by collecting semi
annually. in advance, $500, 900 or more.
1t will be neither uniform nor fair,
since the only standard of valuation
will be the personal opinion Of the
assessors, who may be appointed by
political favor. The amount of the
tax is wholly uncertain, since no valu
alton of property has ever been made
in the island. And so on.

"A Million q Year Salary,

If the reports are correct Charles NJ.
Schwab is to receive a salary of ST.
100000 year for five years as presi-
dent of the United States steel corpora
ton. This is beyond comparison much
the greatest salary ever paid except
to men who have become kings or en-
perors. What is still more remarkable
is the fact that the directors of the
corporation are practically unanimous
in the opinion that Mr.. Schwab will
more than earn the million a year,
which he is to be paid. ]. Pierpont
Morgan is quoted as declaring that Mr.
Schwab will save for his employers
at least 100000 year by consoldat-
ing offices and cutting down running
expenses in other ways. In that view
Of the case it would appear that the
million dollar president is rather under
than over paid. If man is able to
save 100000 year, it is certainly as
legitimate to pay him one-fifth of his
savings as to pay $1,000 year to a

The Beaumon,-P Port Arthur Oh strike
Experts claim that the wonderful
discovery of oil between Beaumont
and Port Arthur, Tex, has produced
the greatest oil gusher ever known in
the world.
The flow from the we'll is estimated
between twenty and twenty-five thou
sand barrels per day. This great
strike is at once benefit not only to
the territory in the vicinity of the
well, but to the entire state of Texas
and the South.
1t is well known fact that coal
is very scarce commodity in Texas
and it is already predicted that oil
will soon be used by the railroads
in lieu of coal as a result of this
great discovery.
Hundreds of people are focking to
the new oil district. which is locat-
ed on the Kansas City Southern
Railway, seeking homes and invest
ments. 1t adds one more attraction
to the list of resources for which
this railway is already noted.

effective the garlic breath was in their
