State Boiler InSpeCtOr JanneS II

| State Boiler Inspector James H.
Dailey's annual report to Gov. Joseph
X. Toole, which has been submitted to
the executive, makes a very satisfac-
tory showing on the condition of affairs
in this department.. Incidentally it
shows fact we'll worthy of note, this
being that during the past two years
there have been no explosions of boilers
or their steam connections which ccme
under the operat on of the boiler i'll
spection law.
Ponula Ruggiere and Luaigi, two
two of the Italians who participated
in the cutting affray at Rosebud few
weeks ago and in which one dago died
from the injuries he received, have
been brought back here from Brainerd,
where they were taken shortly after
the scrape by G. A. Danielson to re-
ceive medical treatment, to answer to
the charge of murder. AS rule,
Italians do not prove willing witnesses
for the prosecution of an offense COM
mitted by them or their countrymen,
and it is doubtful if enough evidence
will be elected to assure a conviction.
Figures come in large punches in
Commissioner J. A. Ferguson's report
of the bureau of agriculture, labor and
industry, when he takes up the ques-
ton of the sawmll and lumber indus
try of the state of Montana. The
have been concluded by Assistant Com
missioner Louis p. Benedict, and they
were made public last Saturday. From
these it is seen that the investment in
the sawmill business in the state
reaches total of So, $50, 121, and that
the aggregate number of feet of timber
cut by the mills OF the state during the
year ending June so, 1902, was 21O,-
O47, 600.
In his biennial report to Gov. Joseph
x. Toole, on the work Of the insurance
d apartment of his office, State Auditor
J. H. Calderhead calls attention to the
fact that the foreign fraternal associa.
lions issuing insurance are not under
the jurisdiction of the auditors office
and contribute nothing to the revenue
of the state. He also recommends a
change whereby the insurance fiscal
year will end in December instead of
March, 81 have to report very graft

Office the auditor says: "Since the
last regular report, covering the past
two fiscal years, l have turned into
general fund, as the income of this |
the sum of 1929, 9l2. o."
Safely slowed away in the office of
State Auditor J. H. Ca1derhead are
bounty warrants aggregating perhaps
So, 600 which show that 1t is possible
for people to forget that there is money
coming to them in this world. Some of
these warrants were allowed years
ago, and the men to whom the7 are
payable have evidently forgotten that
they ever held claim against the
bounty fund of the state. Only lew
days ago the state auditor received
from the administrator of the estate OF
a Billings man bounty warrant for
81 that was issued in 1884, when J. p.
Woolman was territorial auditor. The
auditor notified the administrator that
if he would endorse the paper as ad-
and return it the money
would be sent to him.
The story comes from Billings of

The fatal creation was
directed at Mr.. A. Mclean or one of
his herders in the Bull mountains,
where his sheep camp was located.
