HOPES FOR A CHANGE.
r. c. Power on Conference Of Stock
men and Railroads.

According to former Senator T. c.
Power within the next couple of weeks
or so the livestock shippers Of the
west may expect to receive the de-
cision of the railroads in regard to
the matters discussed at the recent
conference Of traffic managers and
the committee representing the Ma
tional Livestock association. Mr..
Power returned to Helena last Fri
day, when he made the statement
contained in the following paragraph:
It will be remembered that at the
meeting referred to the representa-
tives of the association sought to
induce the railroads to rescind the
order stopping return transportation
to livestock shippers, and impressed
upon the minds of the companies the
necessity for running stock trains at
a higher rate of speed than is the
custom now. Twenty miles an hour
was the minimum speed held out for
by the committee.
we represented the matters to the
railroad men," said Mr.. Power to a
Helena paper upon his return, land
they have taken them under considera-
ton, and we expect an answer in a
couple Of weeks. In justice to the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
railways it can be said that those
roads have given the livestock ship
pers of this state fair service. There
have been cases where, owing to I'M
a%voidable causes, stock has been de-
,layed on the road, but take it as a
whole, the Montana roads have given
us fair service.
"While absent I say Mr.. Biddle of
the Santa Fe, Mr.. Crosby of the Bur-
lington, Mr.. Hannaford of the North
.ern Pacific and Mr.. Blabon of the
Northern. They were all very
courteous, and l hope for favorable
consideration. We must have a SER
vice that will mean 20 miles an hour
for livestock, Or we are big losers in
the way of shrinkage. Cattle kept on
the road more than three days will
lose 25 per cent.
II went east as the representative
of the livestock people, and they paid
for my transportation, and I desire to
accomplish something for them. If
this first attempt is not successful, /
Will go again."

There was a good attendance at

which was Act II of King john"
Mrs. Eddy read a we'll prepared
and interesting paper on Religious
Rartisanship in the Time of King
john" Mrs. Crawford gave a short
talk on the Literary sources OF
the play, in which she brought out
the thought that while not, in every
respect historically accurate, the play
Of king john gives such a graphic
picture of English life at that time
as can be gotten in no other way.
The different characters read
by Mrs. Rixon, Miss Panton, Mrs.
Becker, Mrs. Clark, Mrs. Salisbury,
Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Hathhorn.
The questions had been carefully
chosen to bring out the most impor-
tant historical points as well as
Shakespeare's name of handling the
different characters appearing in the
play. The discussion of these ques-
tions is always both enjoyable and
profitable and, is especially so when
the play studied is IAN historical one.
Committees have been appointed to
prepare for the annual which is to
be given this year April 20. At the
next meeting, March 20, the annual
election of officers will be held.

WOES OF AN MEANT.
Wait Loses Kind P~rotrectress Through
Poor Health.

Poor Health.
Because Of continued poor health
Mrs. E. w. Dunno has been compelled
to surrender the Elmgren baby boy,
whom she took to her home at the
death Of the infants mother, eight
months ago, when the child was but
three weeks old. To have kept him
longer would have necessitated the
employment Of a nurse or keep the
eldest daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Dunno
from attending school. The child has
been turned over to w. o. Parker,
chairman Of the board of county COM
missioners and administrator of the
small estate left by Mrs. Elmgren and
guardian of the children, of whom
there are five. MI. Parker has given
the child to Miss Isadora Dowden,
superintendent of the Montana Chill
dren's home at Helena, who arrived
il. the city last Friday night. Miss
Dowden has partially arranged for q
home for the little waif with q family
at Butte. If it is decided not to adopt
him he will be returned Ito Mr.. Par
ker, Miss Dowden having declined to
accept the $50 to be paid to her upon
signing a receipt for his permanent
adoption.
There is much sorrow in the Dunno
family, every member of which had
become greatly attached to the little
fellow, who is a winsome and happy
morsel of humanity.

CONTRACT is AWARDED.
Chicago Company Will Make Soldiers
Memorial Tablet.

Memorial Tablet.
The contract calling for the manu-
facture and placing of the tablet to
the memory of Montana sons who lost
their lives in the Philippine campaign,
whether on the battlefield or as a re-
suit of wounds received or disease con-
tracted therein, has been awarded by
Governor Joseph K. Toole to the
American Bronze Foundry company of
Chicago.
For making and setting up the tab
let in the rotunda of the capitol lear
the main entrance, the company is to
receive $1,985, says the Independent.
This company is the one that made
the tablet containing the names of tine
state capitol commission and others
intimately connected with the build
ing of the state house, which occupies
a place ON the west wall of the ro-
,tunda neal the main entrance. Plans
for the Philippine memorial tablet
were submitted to Governor Toole a
few days ago by William Burns, sec
rotary and general manager of the
company who has been here for sew
eral weeks experimenting certain
work on the federal building.
Government standard bronze is to
be used in the construction of the
tablet, and the bid states that the let
tiers will be highly polished on the
face, with high lights of molding and
columns, background to be stippled
and free from sand holes. There will
be 53 names ON the tablet.
The eighth Legislative assembly
voted an appropriation of $4,000 for
the tablet, this amount to revert to
the treasury of the state if u%nexpend-
ed at the close of the present fiscal
year.
The contractor says the tablet will
be completed before the last of No
vember.

reports that the farmers in his section
are arranging to construct a large

At last Saturdays meeting of cred
itors of the bankrupt estate of Ben
Kopp several names were submitted
for appraisers and also onse for the
position of trustee. AS the nominees
we're not satisfactory to all parties
concerned, Referee Firth decided to
postpone the appointments until a
later date, at which time new names
will be offered.
Saturday morning Judge Mann was
called upon to solemnize the marriage
of Benjamin e. Lamar of Miles City
and Pearl M. McClintock Of Bristow,
/. T. The bride arrived earlier in
the morning on the Burlington and
was met here by the groom. Shortly
after the ceremony had been perform
ed Mr.. and Mrs. Lamar left for their
future home.
Alec r. G. Greene, a native of Ire
land, filed his declaration of intention
to become a citizen, yesterday. He
claims to have made a like declara-
tory statement about l3 years ago.,
but for some reason completed
his naturalization. The record of the
first proceeds seems to have been
lost, hence the necessity for making
his second declaration.
Testimony and objections were
heard last Saturday by Referee Firth
in the matter of the protests entered
against allowing a couple of claims
against the estate of Alden Rosebor-
ough, recently declared a bankrupt.
The protestants charge that the claims
should not be allowed, alleging that
they are not proper and in addition
are preferences, payments on them
having been made within four months
preceding the filing of Ro~seborough's
petition. The matter was held under
adYisement.
VIA tour of inspection was made last
by the directors of the Big
Ditch company, after which a meet
ing was held at Park City. Stone
Matlock was elected superintendent
for the season. Other business tran
sacted was the adoption of a resolu-
ton authorizing the construction of a
telephone line to follow the company's
canal from its source to this city. 1t
was also decided to make a number
of repairs to the ditch and dam. In
several places the banks of the canal
are to be rip-rapped, to.remove as far
as possible all danger Of washouts.
NComplaint "a made to the police
Yesterday by j. DeGroff of Forsyth
that a couple Of men had robbed him
of a quantity of bedding that he had
left on the depot platform at Forsyth
He said he had discovered the bed
ding at a secondhand store on the
south side, but the owner Of the store
had refused to surrender it to him.
A search warrant was issued and as
DeGroff thoroughly identified the
things they were given into his pos
session. The men who are said to
have committed the theft have left
the city and are believed to be some
where to the north.

THREE FOR THE pRYoock.
Wallula and Joseph Pulitzer to Be Re.
paired at Portland.

Three craft are now in line to go on
the drydock and the trio will probably
all be lifted this week. The bar tug
Walula of the o. r. & N. fleet, is one
of them. She arrived up Monday night
and is lying at the bone yards, where
she will receive her annual overhaul
ing before being lifted. After having
her Machinery gone over and lined up
the tug will be docked for cleaning and
painting. Her propeller will be un-
shipped and the bearing adjusted, after
which she will be in shape for another
IL months work at the entrance.
Accompanying the Wallula was the
pilot schooner Joseph Pulitzer The
tug towed her TO the drydock, where
she is now lying, but will not be warp
ed into the pontoons until after the
schooner Churchill is placed on the
blocks. The pilots who accompanied
the Pulitzer were Captain Staples,
Matthews and Leighton. The craft
has been given considerable attention
sing leaving her station off the mouth
of the Columbia and the only thing
remaining to place her in first class
shape is scraping her bottom and ap-
plying a new coat Of paint.
Some trouble may be experienced in
finishing the Churchill. 1t is under
stood her hull Is to be recaulked in
many placed and her owner is desirous
of having this done, together with the
cleaning and painting in three days.
AS 80 caulkers went to Alaska at the
first of the season. only few Of the
craft remain in port and II Is doubt
full if the caulking can be completed
in the time counted on. Each caulker,
whether hauling one or more threads,
is obliged, according to the accepted
precedent established by the union, to
caulk seam, either on the bottom or
deck, 100 feet long in a days work OF
eight hours. II seam is broken into
and but a part Of 1t renewed, so long
as the pitch is disturbed, 1t counts
days work on the payroll. When 1t is
taken into consideration the Churchill
will probably have a number of seams
to caulk, t will be seen that she cannot
have the job completed in three days
without over time being put in.

STAMPS IN THEIR YOUTH.

when postage stamps first came
into use," said veteran postal CLERK
on the Texas Pacific railway the other
day. the public didn't know how to
handle them. You remember how. when
tea and coffee first appeared among
us, the people fried the tea leaves and
the coffee berries, and served them with
salt and pepper? Well, the people
treated their stamps as absurdly IN
1854. Some folks would put the stamps
inside their letters, out of sight. Here
Is the official notice that we issued TO
stop that practice
The clerk took from the drawer an
aged bulletin that said; The stamps
upon all letters and packages must be
affixed on the OUTSIDE thereof, and
above the address thereon"
He put back this bulletin and drew
forth another one. People would PIN
the stamps on Their letters, instead OF
cumming them" he said, and when
they did gum them, they would not do
IT right. Hence the second bulletin"
and he read:
Persons posting letters should affix
the requisite number OF stamps previ-
Gus to depositing them In the letter
receivers, as when posted In damp
state the stamps are liable to rub off
and thereby cause the letters to be
treated as unpaid. Do not pin on the
stamps"
STILL" said the clerk, "the public
didn't understand Think OF tit
didn't understand the simple matter OF
sticking a postage stamp on a letter.
So we got out third bulletin"
The third bulletin, in big, impatient
letters, said: THE simplest and most
enectual method Of causing stamps to
adhere firmly is, first to moisten well
the outside OF the stamps and after
ward the gummed side slightly, taking
care not to remove the gum"
