The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1901-09-13
A YEAR CLOSED.

TIE Daily Gazette has completed it's
first volume and has passed the first
year of it's existence as a morning
daily newspaper. During the year
that has just closed the, management
has striven to give a ~wide-awake daily
newspaper. How we'll The Gazette
has succeeded in this respect the
patrons of the paper are best able to
judge. Certain it is that a better pa
ped has been issued than the patron
age has warranted us in doing at any
period during the year just closed.
Few people realize the
expense attached to the making of a
daily newspaper, even the class of
The Gazette which pays annually S.
900 for telegraph and telephone tolls
alone. This item of expense is but
a small portion of the aggregate of
the annual expense account incident
to the publishing of a creditable daily
newspaper in a community the size of
Billings.
1t may acre be noted that Billings
enjoys a distinction which no other
town of it's size in America enjoys to-
day. Reference is had to the excel
lent telegraph report published every
morning in The Gazette. In amount
and excellence it's Associated Press
report is the same as is usually sent
to so,called e%nterprising newspapers
in cities often having five or six
times the population Of Billings.
While The Gazette points with a
feeling of pride to it's daily edition as
a newspaper, it regrets that it cannot
have the same satisfaction in the
matter of it's accumulated finances as
relates to that edition. 1t has been
a constant struggle to keep the daily
alive. Many people who are financially
able and whose business would. reap
a marked advantage by patronizing
its advertising columns have but
sparingly awaited themselves of the
space it has to offer, while others in
some instances have ignored the ex-
istence Of a daily newspaper in the
community entirely, from an adver-
tising point Of view.
The success Of The Morning Daily

upon the business community. The

The unanimity with which the press
and people of the nation condemn the
attempt on the life of the president
appeals to every loyal American citi-
Eel Foreign born as well as native
citizens have only words of sympathy
for the victim Of the assassin's NAL
ice and adherence for the fend who
committed the deed. Coupled with
these expressions of sentiment is an
other. Universal demand is made for
the expulsion of the anarchists all
v the land and punishment of all
who can in any manner be coupled
with Czolgosz's crime, for at last the
people have been awakened to the
danger which the existence. of anar-
chistic bands is to the nation.
While it may never be possible to
completely eradicate anarchists and
anarchy, it lies within the power of
the government, national and state, to
enact such laws as will make it i'm
possible for the followers Of the red
rag to plot and work as openly as they
have been doing in the past and thus
deprive them of much of the power
they have now By relentlessly pros
ecuting the leaders and allowing them
to have no abiding place in any COM
munity, their power for evil will
speedily decrease and their followers
may be depended upon to gradually
content themselves with simple raw
ings and denunciations whenever a
few of them may assemble. The mar
chistic press and public gatherings
should be oppressed. The appeals of
the former and the harangues of the
leaders at the latter are the sources
of the evil with which the country
demands the authorities should now
combat. The admissions of Czolgosz
are proof of the power. possessed by
the leaders to spur their
dupes into the commission of
crime. He admits that it was
the speaking of Emma Goldman which
caused him to assault the president.
Had this she fiend not been permitted
to preach her creed of murder it is not
claiming too much to say that the as
sault on President Mckinley would
probably have been eve committed.
That the authorities hold her respon-
sible in a measure for the crime is
shown by the vigorous search now be-
ing conducted by the police of all east
ern cities and the earnestness Of their
desire to apprehend her. The fact
that she has suddenly disappeared
may be accepted as proving the cor
rectness of the theory of her com
plicity in one way or another. While
she is willing and anxious that others
should risk their precious necks in
carrying out her policy of ~assassina-
ton and destruction, she has too
much regard for her own safety and
comfort to take any chances Of be-
coming mixed up with the hated law
that she and her kind so bitterly de-
nounce. In this regard, however, she
differs but little from the other lead
ers of anarchy. They all display the
same physical cowardice when it
comes to the point where danger to
life or liberty threatens.

main OF the court and was there sim
ply in obedience to orders. He even
appealed to his associates on the
court to decide all doubtful questions
as to his eligibility in favor Of Ad-
miral Schley.
Before submitting the challenge to
the determination Of the court, Mr..
Rayner cross-examined Admiral How
ison very infinitely as to his personal
sentiments towards Admiral Schley
and Admiral Sampson and developed
that Admiral Howison had expressed
certain definite convictions as to Ad-
miral Simpsons retention Of author
ity and responsibility, ven while he
was absent temporarily from the fleet
at Santiago. The challenge then was
submitted to the court, which under
the circumstances was narrowed to
Admiral Dewey and Rear Admiral
Benham, to pass upon.
After hardly more than is minutes
spent in retirement to the council
room Of the court, Admiral Dewey
briefly announced that the court sus-
tanned the challenge and that Ad.
miral Howison would be excused from
further attendance.
Adjournment necessarily followed
until another member could be ap-
pointed.
The department is casting about
for a successor to Howison. Messages
have already gone forth directly to
some Of the rear admirals on the re-
tired list, inviting them to declare
their eligibility for this particular
duty. Owing to the fact that many
of these officers are at summer re-
sorts, it has not been possible to get
response as yet, and it is expected
that the department will not be able
to provide another member for the
court until Monday next. The name
Of the person so chosen will not be
announced at the navy department,
according to present intention of the
officials, but to the court itself will
be left the announcement.
There are now on the retired list
80 a admirals, according to the
latest register. Two of these, namely
Admiral Kimberley and Admiral How
ison, have been eliminated as posi-
BILE members of the court. There is
reason to believe that before turning
to Admiral Howison the navy depart
ment sounded several other officers
on the list, who for reasons not made
public were excused. Nevertheless,
both the government and Admiral
Schley's counsel believe that there is
plenty of good material in this list
of retired armirals from which the
court can be filled. Gossip runs over
a number of names which were sug-
gested at an earlier stage when Adj
miral Kimberley was excused but
there is no way Of learning just who.
the department has in mind. One
name frequently mentioned is that of
Admiral James 7. Jouett, who is now
at his home in Orlando, Fla.

Yur1A-SANDIEGO RAILROAD.
Carlson is on Deck and Says the Money Is Available to
 Build the Road.

From the San Diego Tribune.
 Just at time when the aver age citizens hopes were at zero that anything of sufficient inn portance could happen to help out business in this section comes the startling news from New York that under certain cOndi- tions actual work on the long talked-of Yuma railroad would begin within three months. The author of this announcement is ex-Mayor W. H. Carlson, and several dispatches have been re- ceived here to the same effect. One was received by Mayor Frary which says that ample money to build the proposed railroad is available now.
 The dispatch further says that the only condition required from the city is for the council to lift the cloud from the franchise that was granted MT. Carlson to con struct railroad through this city. Some two years ago the council cancelled this franchise, declaring that it had been for feited through failure on the part of MT. Carlson to comply with the terms of the ordinance grant ing the permit.
 Acting upon the assurances contained in the dispatch Mayor Frary has called a special meet ing of the council for tomorrow evening to consider the request of ex-Mayor Carlson. In dis cussing the matter this morning Mayor Frary said: "The power to reinstate the Carlson fran chise is with the council, and it is for them to decide whether or not the request should be grant ed. If MT. Carlson has the back ing he says he has and can build the railroad from here to Yuma, l am satisfied that every citizen in San Diego will do all in his power to help him."
 Several councilmen expressed themselves as being in favor of reinstating the Carlson railroad franchise. One delegate said: Il believe we should give Carl son every encouragement he wants to build the Yuma railroad. It is the one thing this city needs to bring about prosperity. At the same time the franchise should be put in such shape that it is only available for legitimate purposes and must not be tied up for an indefinite time. I am decidedly in favor of giving Carl son 8 free hand to carry out all he claims in building a railroad from this city to Yuma and will vote to lift the cloud from his franchise through this city"

miles. Yuma had no city gov ernment, but the board of trade found two councilmen alive who had served before the war, and the village was reorganized. Bricks were made, brick build ings were erected and the town was started on an era of pros perity. In five years it has more than doubled it's population, has two printing offices, several fine hotels, a number of large stores, employing from five to twenty clerks, the best water and cleo tric light plants in the west, streets paved with blue cement, walks with asphalt, and now has a population of over 5000. It is the end of division of the Southern Pacific railroad, is sur rounded by paying mining camps, the soil is fertile, producing or anges, lemons, alfalfa and any thing that is planted. Many farmers have settled in the val ley in the last few years and are doing we'll. The territorial prison is at this place, well equipped and splendidly managed.

Yuma has sent forward the first ripe aprlcots of the season and still retains the champion thip for the production of the earliest fruits in the United States. The practical demon stration of the superiority of Arizona over it's most favored horticultural neighbors, is worth more than columns or volumes "f theory, and at once gives it the prestige it merits as the fa- vored land of perpetual sunshine.

The cane will continue to grow, proftably for three years, after which time it will begin to slow up in it's productiveness. The necessary syrup press and the kettles for boiling are ineKpen- sive and the profits large. A little care must be exercised, of course, in boiling and preparing the syrup for market. By can ming it in good style the farmer who exercises little extra good taste in placing 1t before the public will receive a larger price for his product than his neighbor who is not so careful, although all who become syrup makers are sure to be handsomely re- munerated for their labor. The proper time to secure good seed cane is in the months of Septem- Der or October, when it should be carefully covered with earth to a depth of about three feet, and in January or February set out in the part of the field where it is to remain until ready for the 1oo;I1 C7, 1or,occ
