pany Says 1t Is Misunderstood.
The American Home Investment
company seemingly is not inclined to
Auditor Calderhead by which it is
denied the right to do business in
Montana. 1t will be remembered that
several weeks ago Mr.. C%alderhead
ruled that the concern is a building
and loan association and because it
had failed to comply with the law
governing organizations of that kind
held that it could not carry on it's
business in the state.
Now comes the company and pro-
tests against the ruling and claims
that it is a cooperative affair, and
asks the auditor to submit to the at
torney general the matter of it's real
character as an organization and have
him pass upon the disputed question.
Mr.. Calderhead has complied with the
request and the question is now in
the hands of the attorney general. If
the latter should hold that the COM
pany is a cooperative institution
rather than a building and loan asso-
citation then an order giving it the
right to solicit business in the state
will probably issue, for such an opin-
ion would free the concern Of the
charge that features connected with
it make it properly classifiable as a
building and loan association.

AMOUNT OF LUMBER STANDING
IN MONTANA.
IS FAST GROWING SMALLER
Sixteen Billion Feet on Forest Re-
serves and Land Belonging to
the State.

According to the annual report Of
the commissioner of the state bureau
Of agriculture, labor and industry,
which is now in course of preparation
for submission to the governor and
legislature, there are in the forest re-
serves and on the state lands in Mon
tana nearly sixteen billion feet of
lumber, board measurement. The
commissioner finds that the principal
timber areas Of the state are on the
main range Of the Rocky mountains
and their spurs, with the most on the
west side of the range, although there
are other parts in the state where
timber of good quality and in great
quantity may be found.
"The rapid and wasteful destruct-
ton of this valuable resource says
the report, has happily been checked
by the establishment Of enormous
forest reserves by the general govern
ment and the selection of vast tracts
of timber, by the state board of land
commissioners for the benefit of the
various state institutions. Stumpage
on these lands is generally about 81
an acre, but. in sonic cases this price
has been more than doubled through
spirited bidding for very choice
tracts"
By following out the estimate of
the United States geological survey
as to the amount of timber in the
Lewis and Clark forest reserve, Civ
en- as 1854, 100000 feet, board meas
ure, Commission Ferguson finds that
the total of all timber on the re-
serves, of good, merchantable lumber,
is 1874 SOC, 900 feet. In addition to
this there are many millions Of cords
of firewood, which is rapidly increas-
ing in value.
1t is estimated that no less than
912, 900, 900 feet of lumber is contained
on the state lands. Adding this to
that on the forest reserves and the
grand total Of all merchantable lum-
be still standing in Montana will be
found to be 1886, 100000 feet.
The remaining timber lands in the
state belong to the Northern Pacific
Railroad company and to different
sawmill and mining companies. On
these the commissioner is unable to
make an estimate and consequently
cannot give their extent as to the
probable number of feet of merchanta-
BILE lumber they may be %expecterd to
yield.
At the present rate Of
consumption Mr.. Ferguson predicts
that it will not be many years before
available saw timber in the state
will become exceedingly scarce.

"WANTED" IN BILLINGS.
Sheriff Hubbard at Butte Looking for
Fugitives.

From Saturdays Daily Gazette.
Yesterdays Butte papers announce
the arrival in hat city of Sheriff Huh
bard with warrants for the arrest of
Frank Hobart and Maudle Archer On
the charge of adultery, preferred
against them by Lee Archer, husband
OF Mrs. Archer, in the courts of this
county. The Archers are residents
of Silver Bow county, where Archer
has a ranch about 10 miles from Butte.
Their married life has been a s-ormy
one, judging from their repeated ap-
pearances in the courts of Butte and
where both now have divorce pro-
ceedings pending, the oma suing
for a separation on the ground of
cruelty, while the husband wants a
bill on the ground of adultery.
Hobart has resided in this county
and it is said induced the woman to
leave her husband and come to Bill
ings. At all events, it is known that
both have lived here and they are
said to have sustained the relations
of man and wife while living in the
city. A short time g both disap-
peared and are believed to have gone
to Butte.
Because the alleged crime with
which they are charged is said to
have been committed in this county,
Archer filed his complaint here.
At last accounts Mr.. Hubbard had
not yet found either one of the two.

A PAYING UP.
Treasurer Issues Call for Large
amount of Warrants. .

, amount of Warrants.
By a call issued by State Treasurer
Barrett the Indebtedness of Montana
will be deceased to the extent of
about $1O3 900. The call is for out
standing warrants on the general fund
and affects all warrants on that fund
registered prior to May 6 of the pres
ent year. Interest on the warrants
called in will cease November Is.
In view of the eagerness displayed
by a majority of persons to collect out
standing accounts, even when the
debtor is so responsible a one as the
state, it would be supposed that hold
ers of warrants called in would pre-
Sent them at once and obtain their
money. But it seems that Montana
has a number of creditors who are in
no hurry to make collections. No less
than $4,000 is in the possession of the
treasurer which remains to be paid
out in the redemption of warrants
included in prior calls. Probably if
the holders of the warrants we're aware
of the fact that they no longer draw
interest they might be less lax in
their collection of the amounts rep
resented by them.
Remittances have been received
during the present week by the treas
urer from counties as follows:
Ravalli, $1,148.14; Powell, $1,O74.-
%; Granite, $401.91; Deer Lodge, ST.
27S.O5; Broadwater, $733.64.

From Saturdays Daily Gazette.
on an insanity warrant; issued at the
instance Of his brother-in-law, G. w.
Strum. He was examined as to his
sanity this afternoon before a COM
mission composed of Chairman Park
er of the board of county commits
sioners and Drs. Rinehart and Lind
sey. Mr.. and Mrs. Strum and DR..
Clark. who has been attending Kest-
ner, were examined as witnesses. 1t
developed that he was possessed of a
suicidal and homocidal mania, and
had several times. attempted to make
way with himself and also do injury
to others. Yesterday he secured a
razor and cut two deep gashes in his
left arm, from which he lost a large
amount of blood and only the timely
arrival of medical assistance saved
his life.
Kestner, who is only 20 years of
age, has been affected with consump-
ton for a long time and this, together
with the blood he lost yesterday, gave
him a haggard and emaciated appear
arce when a%rraigned this afternoon
and caused him to be SO weak as to
be SCARCELY able to walk.
"
He was adjudged of unsound mind
and ordered committed to the asylum.

MANIPULATING r. r. FINANCES.
Process of Converting Stocks Int
Mortgages and Bonds.


Some of the figures in the summary
of railroad operations in 1901 jus,
published by Poor's Manual, are rath
er noteworthy. During that year the
aggregate capital of this country's
railways, including both stock and
bonds, increased some $451,OO zoe 900.
To appreciate exactly what this means
it should be added that increase in
the same accounts during the three
year period ending in 1900 was only
$425,000,000 During this same three
year period, increase in capital stock
alone was S201, 1920 O0 and in bonded
debt $224,160,0 900; the two branches
of liabilities fairly keeping pace with
one another. During 1901, on the
other hand, the $451, OOO, 900 increase
in capital comprised expansion in
stock of only $174,49 900, whereas
bonded debt increased no less than
$276,877, 900. This showing is qlite
in accordance with the events IF the
twelvemonth in railway finance. That
year will always stand forth c%onspic-
uous in railway history as a period
when the raising of capital on the
basis of stock issues was suspended
by the floating Of mortgage bonl::
Similarly, 1902 will be remembered as
a time when the process was ex
tended further, and outright CONVEX.
sion of shares into bonds was the
order of the day.
The upshot of the process, so far
as concerns division of railway CAPT
tai into stocks and bonds, is that in
1901, for the first time since 1896,
bonded debt of American railways
exceeded their share capital. AS
against this somewhat striking fact,
however, it should be noticed that
last years actual interest payment
on this increased debt though greater
by nearly one million than in 1900,
and by $4,000, 900 than in 1899, was
with these exceptions the smallest
III lilly year SLICE 1000. lie SeSIuluS
paradox is explained, of course, by
the fall of interest rate and conse-
quent possibility of turning 6 and Z
per cent bonds into 4 per cents. When
the other side of the general balance
sheet is examined, to find what assets
stand against the $451, 00O,O 900 in
crease in last years railway capital,
it will be seen from the Poor's Manual
figures, that only $233, 600, 900 is &C
counted for by cost of railway and
equipment. 1t is in that extremely
suggestive entry known as ''other in
vestments" that the secret must be
looked for. Expansion in that account
during 1901 was no less than $780,
100000. How much of that increase
was made up of stocks of other rail-
ways, bought at the prices of a Wall
street "boom," people familiar with
the history of the year may guess.
Last years increase in such assets
appears to have been twice as large
as that of any year since 1s90.-New
