oyERPRoDUCnoN SAYS SIMPSON.

Captain AN. Simpson tells the South
Pend Pilot that he sees trouble ahead
for sawmills and the lumber market.
He says: The trouble is -produc-
tion. Over 240 new mills. lumber and
shingles, have been built on the Pacific
slope during the past year and such a
state of affairs can only result in dis
aster to many Of these mills and, per-
haps to many of the older ones. While
this wholesale building of mills is GO
ing on several causes are operating to
depress the lumber market. Over-pro-
duction has dulled the edge of the East
ern market and added TO this, is the
fact that eastern white pine dealers
have lowered the price of their goods
in order to shut out the superior pro-
duct Of this coast; labor troubles are
also operating against coast shipments
to the east to a considerable extent.
The foreign trade, while not so much
affected by over-production, is largely
in the hands of a few men and not
everyone is getting his share of the
trade. The dullness of the local, San
Fransisco, market, is caused purely and
simply by reproduction.

NEW COMPANY INCORPORATED.
Billings Loan & Trust Company Sue
ceeds r. J.. Bouton.

From Tuesdays Daily Gazette.
AS a result of negotiations that have
been pending for some time, articles
of incorporation of the Billings Loan
& Trust company were filed with the
county clerk yesterday afternoon.
The new company takes over the real
estate, loan and insurance business
which has been successfully conducted
by T. ]. Bouton during the past four
years. The company is capitalized
at $25, 1000, and the incorporators are
Thos. j.. Bouton, K. E. Bouton and AL
bert S. Hanson. The term of exist
ence of the corporation is 20 years,
and the incorporators are named as
the trustees for the first 80 days.
The new member of the company,
Mr.. Hanson, has been interested in
enterprises in and about Billings for
q number of years, and until a year
ago was associated with his brother
in successful mercantile pursuits in
Carbon county. While looking about
for a permanent investment he has
had charge of one of the city mail
routes. which has enabled him to so

Of a friend in you
The address concluded wi h the
best Of wishes, neatly turned, and
bearing the imprint of sincerity. The
presentation committee for the en-
gineers and firemen of the road was
made up of H A. Burke, spokesman;
F. r. Spalt and G.. Houtz.
Mr.. Norton was brief in his reply.
Boys, you have me cornered where l
can't talk back" He could not recall
wherein he had deserved so well Of
the men with whom he had doubtless
been at times more exacting and Sc
we're than the exigencies of the service
made necessary, but the load he had
carried while foreman had been the
heaviest of his life. He would now feel
he was beautifully rewarded whenever
he looked at that sparkling cut glass
in the center of that table. The
sparkling light, rejecting the senti-
ment of the roundhouse employees,
and the magnificent present at the
hands OF the enginemen, he felt plac-
ed him in a position to be envied of
all having to do with the service, and
this night would be remembered as
the zenith af his railroad career.
Mr.. Norton has been in the engine
service without a single break for this
same company from 1880 to the pres
ent. 1t was in January, 1895, he came
from the Yellowstone division to be
travelling engineer at this end. In hav-
ing acquired the use of artificial legs
to the point of being able to resume
his place in the cab of an engine, Mr..
Norton feels as a liberated bird get
ting into it's own sphere once more.
1t has to be said of him that the re-
gard of the employees under his con-
troll has been secured without in any
manner catering for it to the detriment
of the service, as is so aptly set out
by Mr.. Burke.
