A complete title system, made
from their own books, which they
have been working on for over one
year with some II people. Their
system is the most complete sys-
tenn known. Mr.. Davis has fol-
lowed this business over % years,
adopting only the best features of
different abstract systems. The
company's abstracts give the title
from the first locator down to the
present date, giving each transfer
in order. date. amount, grantor,
grantee, description of property
and all particulars which are liza
be to affect the title. Each alb
stract is also furnished with a plat
of the property, as we'll as page
of the transfers. in regular order,
which the eye can catch at
glance.
The company is now ready to
furnish abstracts of title to Silver
Bow county. Mr.. Davis still con-
trolls the Deer Lodge abstract,
which he completed some years

Some suggestions for GOOD Roads


be required for arches of similar span.
Then upon this frame begin the con-
crete, employing a favorable brand OF
American Portland cement. The stone
used should be granite quartzite, tine
grained limestone or other equally strong
and durable stone. 1t should be broken
into various Sizes the largest to pass
anyway through two-inch ring. After
completion, above the top of the culvert
should be filled sufficient material to pro-
tect it from injury-a precaution often
neglected.
Traction Engines.
Another idea suggested was the use Of
traction engines in lieu of horses on
long stretches of road attached to
grades The pull is more even and uni
form, and recently there has been in
troduced a type of traction engine on
which the wheels may be replaced by
heavy rolls, converting the engine into
a road-roller of moderate weight. a
machine OF this kind would seem to be
quite an acquisition to township that
could not afford a regular steam roller.
Drainage.
Every practical paper presented dur
ing the congress dwelt with emphasis
upon the value of proper drainage. No
road could be considered complete with
out a thorough system in wet and clay
ey roadWays Surface drainage alone is
not sufficient without underdrainage.
The crown of such roadways will dry
only by the slow process of evaporation,
during which time the topping becomes
more and more rutted by passing traf-

The Dranstock
A Beautiful Morse
Symbol of Hons.
BY HUBERT M. SKINNER.

Morse population to our Northwestern
states had caused many Morse words to
come into somewhat general use. and
suggested the probable assimilation of
many more, had requested him to select
and define such a number of these as
might seem desirable for incorporation
into their great work.
Then why, o why, Dr. Anderson" l
interrupted, did you not give to US that
beautiful old Morse word, Branstock?
We needed it. We want it. Why did YOU
omit it?"
Quickly the doctor responded. ''Ah, but
that was impossible. When I landed on
my return to America, the letters a, b.
c and We're all set up in type and
had to begin with e. Otherwise you
should have had Branstock, with all my
heart"
It seems not unlikely that this quaint
old term employed by the Morse may yet
become one of the familiar and endeared
words of the English speaking world,
like fireside. and hearthstone, and roof
tree, all of which are symbols OIL the
home. The northern people of Europe,
from whom we Americans are so gem
orally descended, lived more in the open
of their leisure time beneath their be-
loved home trees The ''Branstock'' was
as sacred the paternal roof, and be-
came a symbol of all that was dear in the
memories of home life In the shade of
the Branstock the infant was lulled to
slumber by the mothers lullaby; children
played their merry games; the father
rested at noon; the grandmother knitted
as she related tales of old days. Under
the boughs of the Branstock the vows OF
lovers were plighted; and here, at times,

The name occurs in the Nibelungenlied
which is the Had Of the northern ma
tons, and is destined to be, some day,
as well known as the great epic OF
Homer. The student of Gibbon acquires
the idea that ali our civilization has
come to us as a legacy of Greece and
Rome. The student of the folklore and
life of the northern lands is likely to
reach the conclusion that there were Ii

the elements of an indigenous civilization
which would have wrought itself out
though Greece and Rome had never eX-
listed. The Nibelungenlied belongs IN
common to the Scandinavians and to the
Germans, though in varied forms. Who
shall say that. in moral power or in
strength and beauty. it has ever been
surpassed. or even equaled, by the epics
of the south or of the Orient?
AS descendants of Teutonic tribes we
should be heirs to this literary legacy Of
the long ages past. 1t was a hapns

not be removed in less than two weeks

crete work. This frame is a considerable

this purpose is usually the land or brick
tile of from TWO to six inches in diam
eter The joints should be wrapped
with tarred paper or coarse cloth, to pre-
vent choking by sand. Another sugges-
ton was to lay these tile drains at each
side of the roadway.
Wide Tires.
One of the resolutions recommended
the further use of wide-tired wagons.
There was no disputing the philosophy
of wide tires and there were no reasons
offered why they should not come into
general use.
State and County Organization.
The resolution adopted by the con-
gress which will have the greatest effect
and contribute to that complete co-opera-
ton necessary for a successful outcome
of the work in question, was the provid-
ing for the appointment of a vice presi-
dent, who would be at the head of the
movement in each state and would in
turn appoint, beyond the state organiza-
ton, a, county and township membership.
and each working in unison will make
an advancement greater than ever here
tofore shown. It will bring the matter
home to the individual taxpayer in
new light, and by including him person
ally into that membership will awaken
interest which, it is to be hoped will
not be abated until the roads are being
worked under a systematic plan which
will speak for itself and be convincing
as to its value. 1t is pleasure to state
that Mr.. George Cooley, the county sur

A few years ago when DR.. Rasmus B.

Oakland club gave in his honor q
brilliant reception, which will be long re-
membered; and the doctor addressed the
members in his happiest vein Dr.

of new department. in American letters,

Department Stores Liability for Dental
Malpractice-The court of appeals of
New York has recently decided. in the
case of Harmon VS.. Siegel-Cooper CO.,
60 Northeastern Reporter, 597, that where
the defendants in the case made repre-
sensations to the plaintiff, on which she
relied, that they Were conducting dent
list business In their store. and she, be-
cause of these representations, hired the
workman in the store of the defendants
with no knowledge that the business
was conducted by another individually,
the defendants were responsible for the
acts Of the dentist who treated the
plaintiff, even though the third party
was, as matter of fact, the real owner
of that department Of the defendants

plaintiff had a right to rely not only on
the presumption that the defendants
would employ a shillful dentist as its
