ORPhEUM APPEAL
IS DISMISSED

The Supreme Court Yesterday dis
missed the appeal of the defendant in
the case of ]. ]. Byrne VS.. the Orphe-
um Co., Ltd, the ruling being as fol-
lows
This was an action for assumpsit on
defendants promissory note. Sum-
mons issued Dec. 15, 1908, process was
served Dec. 16, and answer filed Jan.
g. 1904, no order of default having
been entered or moved for. January
I plaintiff filed a motion for an order
for default ba7ed on certificate OF
the clerk dated Jan. 6, that more than
twenty days had elapsed since the SER
vice and that the defendant had not
filed any pleading other than a paper
entitled an answer in which general
denial OF the allegations of plaintiffs
declaration, dated Jan. 6.
On Jan. 8 the court flied an order
that no pleading had been filed with
in the time allowed by law, the an
swers filed Jan. not being such as
required, and ordered the defendant
| declared in default, the clerk being
authorized to enter judgment for de-
PENDANTS claim. Defendants motion
to file a verified answer was denied.
The defendant appealed from the or
der ruling and judgment.
| The decision per curiam holds that
the order for default was authorized
by the showing made. and II does not
appear that there was any abuse of
discretion in refusing to open the de-
fault, no meritorious defense having
F.. been suggested other than a verified
answer.

Something About the Billings Building
and Loan Association.

and Loan Association.
One of the most noteworthy addi-
lions to the financial institutions of
our city is the recently incorporated
Billings Building and Loan associa-
ton, which has it's offices at No. Z
North Twenty-eighth street.
This association is founded on the
well-known dayton" plan, with such
slight notifications in the working
details as were found necessary to
meet local conditions.
There are no series; individual &C
counts are kept with each member;
no bidding for loans; i'm short, it is a
savings bank loaning money to its
depositors and at the same time pay
ing them twice as much interest as
ordinary banks ever do.
The system is the result of the in
-vestigations of expert financiers into
THE faults of the ordinary building
and loan societies, and is the most
secure, satisfactory and economical
mutual savings and loan plan ever
evolved.
The roster of officers of the Billings
association is a guarantee of it's
strength and honesty of administra-
stion.

CONTEST NOTICE.

Department of the Interior, United

tana, August 8, 19O4.-A sufficient con-
test affidavit having been filed in this
office by Kate Wells, contestant,
against homestead entry No. 4273,
made October 8, 1901, at Bozeman,
Montana, for lots 2 and 3, and SEA
NWA, SWA NEA section 1, town
ship 3 south, range % east, NJ. P. NJ,
by Clarence D. Hatch, contestee, in

D. Hatch died in November, 1902;
that the heirs of said Clarence D.
Hatch, if any there are, o any one
of them, have lived upon, cultivated
or improved said land for more than
six months last past, but have wholly
abandoned the same; that one David

of the improvements on the land:
that after diligent inquiry it is learned
that there are no heirs of said Hatch,
known to exist; said parties are
hereby notified to appeaer, respond

been sold as coming from Montana.
The statement is made that half of
the time northern Wyoming sheep
range in Montana and that it is easier
to ship the wool from them to Bill
ings, where it is sold as a Montana
product, than it is to ship it to points
in Wyoming.
This is the explanation given at
Boston. There, apparently, it is be-
lieved. Out this way it is given but
little credence. The buyers who
come here yearly are too well inform
ed to be deceived by any pretense
that wool grown in Wyoming was pro-
duced in Montana. They know better.
1t happened this year, however, that
not a little of the Wyoming article
was rated as being fully as good as
that Of southern Montana and if any
of it was sold to the mills as the Mon
tana product. the growers were not
to blame. The trick was done further
east.
Concerning Years Clip.
Opinion seems to differ as regards
the size of the years clip. So far
a majority of estimates made at Bos-
ton would make it appear that the
production this year will not be very
much below that of last year, when
the falling off was something like 25,,
600, 900 pounds from that preceding.
1t is now believed that there will
be nothing like such a decrease for
this season. On the contrary, it is
held that the reduction will not ex-
coed 500 per cent. AS more definite
information becomes available it may
become necessary to revise the esti-
mates, and it is considered as quite
likely that 10 per cent will be found
too high. AS regards Montana it is
figured that the output will not exceed
20, 100000 pounds, which would indi-
cate a decrease from last year Of
about 5 per cent.
In Texas the falling off will prob
ably exceed that amount. In the east
ern states not much of a decrease is
looked for, as it is thought the ag-
gregate will be very nearly the same
as in former years.

same time selling more goods on credit. The natives are often indebted to sew eral traders at once. It has been found that the merchants took an average of seventy per cent. profit on the transac- tions of the traders, the traders added one hundred per cent. to the selling price, and usually made twenty per cent more on the cattle which they took in payment. The traders further reused the anger of the natives by seiz- ing cattle arbitrarily. without waiting for legal procedure.
 Of course it wont do the swindled blacks any good to rise up and kill a few of the whites. but it is not wonder full that they do it. still, they would save trouble by submitting to eiviliza- ton without kicking against it.

4 KING 1T EN4CED.

Cotton is surely king this year, and
 this country is the throne. But we may
 not always be so cottoned to by other
 countries as we are this year. The enormous possibilities of cotton culture
 in the Sudan are not being lost sight of by England. What is required before
 great developments can take place is the completion of the railroad from Ber- Der to Suakin, so that when the cotton is grown it can be marketed at reason lable cost. An influential association is
 urging the British government to com
 Iplete this railroad as quickly as possi-
 ble. Lord Crorner has promised his ac- I tive cooperation and support. The as- sociation is also urging the government to erect a dam across the Baraka at Tokar, by which the area available for cultivation would be greatly increased. Even under present conditions progress lis being made. An extract from a let ter from Suakin says: "The ground is cultivated by Arabs, who know very It. tie about cotton growing, but it is so rich that each feddan Ca little more than an acre) produces on the average ten to eleven cantars Ga cantar being
 about 100 pounds). Last year 13,000 fed-
 ldans were planted. and this year the
 area is increased to 23.000, and we are of opinion that next year will see at least
 l35,O0O feddans under cultivation. Best Egyptian seeds are used. So far we do mot know that the government intends to dam the Khor Baraka, at any rate for the present. but if this were done it lis estimated that from Tokar to Kassala -i. e. roughly-2,O 100000 feddans would be cultivatable.'
 Russia is also talking about growing
 cotton. By and by perhaps cotton
 wont be fifteen cents a pound.

REMoNsrRAScE. E.

The annual number of "The Remon- strance" is out. This journal sets forth the views of women who are opposed to the further extension of suffrage to their sex. Just as those who favor suffrage have an organization to pro- mote that cause, so have those who op-
 pose wonan's suffrage an organization to enable them to combat more suc- cessfully the efforts of the suffrage ad- vocates. This anti-suffrage organiza-
 tion is strong in Massachusetts, but it is not a Massachusetts affair, as it em-
 braces the State of New York, Illinois,
 Iowa. Oregon, Washington, California and South Dakota. In Massachusetts there are thirty-two branch committees
 and members in two hundred and six
 teen cities towns and villages.
 According to The Remonstrance, wo-
 men who make their opposition to wo-
 man suffrage public do not do so be- cause they crave publicity. It is not pleasure, but duty, which calls them to appear before legislative committees.
 They accept a present inconvenience
 to avert future harm. They believe
 that it is injurious to women and in- furious to the State to have women voting on equal terms with men. en-
 gagged with them in the turmoil of poli- tics and sharing with them the respon- abilities of government. It is for this reason that they speak their views;
 and the women who have been active
 during the last few years in express ing the protest of women against the needless burden of the ballot feel we'll repaid by the change which has come over public sentiment during that time, and the check that has been imposed upon suffrage legislation.
 The great cause of woman suffrage isn't very flourishing just now, but while there's life there's hope, if any body cares to hope.
