THE NEW GAME LAW.

The Montana citizen who goes hunt
ing or fishing must provide himself
with a license, in addition to the par.
aphernalia usually associated with
such pleasure trips. That Is the re.
%quirement of a law enacted by the ninth
legislative assembly, and which Incl.
dentally repeals the unconstitutional
game warden tax levy of one.tenth of
q mill. The revenue derived from the
issuance OF hunting and fishing liceu.
ses will furnish q fund from which the
state game warden and his deputies
will receive their easily earned com.
p~ensation.
Under the lev law every male per-
son who is more than Is years OF age
must take out q license to hunt or fish.
It will cost 81 and be good for the

Columbus the Hired Man.
st. Louis Post.Dispatch,

st. Louis Post.Dispatch.
1t is with surprise nothing short of
painful that We received the informa.
ton, just dug up at Genoa, Italy, that
Christopher Columbus received only
5000 for the job of discovering Ameri-
ca. The sum of $50 a month, at which
rate Mr.. Columbus was paid, is not
sufficiently dignitied, in our estima-
ton, to be classed as a salary. Fifty
dollars Il month is plain old wages.
Columbus was nothing but a hired
man. Queen Isabella, according to
her ledger, just brought to light, EN-.
ployed him to go out and discover a
new continent, just as she would hire
a new cook for the royal household or
pay q hobo a quarter of u peso for
sweeping off the sidewalk in front of
the palace. 1t pains us to think of
Columbus in this light. We did not
seek to be discovered, in the first place,
but, If it were inevitable that We should
be discovered, we would have much
preferred that the job be done by an-
admiral-bold. ami in full dress, rather
than by an illiterate hired hand, such
as Columbus was, who had no more
respect for II feelings than to land
on us on Friday.

Origin OF so Long

With reference to the origin of the
familiar expression, $50 long," a
correspondent Of the London Academy
suggests that it is derived from the
Norwegian "Saa Laenge," a common
form of farewell, equivalent in mean
ing to Eau revoir," and pronounced
like $50 long, with the 'g" softened.
There was a fair number of Norwe.
gians among the settlers in Ameri.
ca. to Judge by names, and it is
quite likely the phrase was picked up
from them. 1t is in general use among
the Dutch in South Africa.

\ desirable change in the road law,

some provision by which the board of

agreed price for the quantity of earth

employed on road improvements. and
one or more members of the board

COUNTY ROAD EXPENSES.

IN view OF the large expenditure
upon county roads In many parts Q
Montana, it is believed the presen
road law requires some modification
that will securc better results for tn,
amount of money expended on publ,
highways. The annual expenditure.
for road purposes in Montana aggre.
gate a large amount, and every pro
vision should be made 20 secure
returns that will make these expendi.
lures a good investment.
In Chouteau county, for instance,
there have been exceptionally heavy
expenditures for road purposes dur.
ing the past two years. The official
records OF the county show that dur.
Ing the fiscal year of 1904, warrants
to the amount of $36, 1868. Is were is.
sued on the road fund, and for the
fiscal year of 1903 the expenditures for
road purposes amounted to 1924, 446. IS.
These totals do not include the com.
p%ensation of the county surveyor,
whose duties relate mainly to road
matters, and which amounts to about
$1,000 a year. Including this addi-
tlonal charge, the expenditures for
road purposes in Chouteau county
during the past two years amounted
to the large total of some $50 800.
The income of the road fund derived
from the regular tax levy and the
special road tax, was insufficient to
meet these large expenditures, and
during the two years the sum of s37,.
GOO was transferred from the general
fund to supply the deficiency. The
balance remaining in the road fund
at the commencement of the present
fiscal year was a little less than $l2,.
600.
1t is possible that the people of
Chouteau county have received $780,
eOO worth of work for the $65, 500 ex.
pended upon public roads during the
past two years, and in that case there
should be no cause for complaint.
Many new roads have been projected,
and the right Of way secured in ad.
vance OF appropriation of land by SET
tlers-a policy that will be endorsed
as one OF prudence and economy.
This policy has also been followed to
some extent in former years, when
road expenses we're considerably less
than at the present time, the official
records OF Chouteau county showing
these payments from the road fund for
the years mentioned.

TRIED TWICE TO END
HIS LIFE AND FAILED
Man Appears in Court on Charge of
insanity, After Having Bought
Rope to Hang Himself

The bright flowers and glorious sun
shine of California failed to cheer
John Cogan's downcast spirits, and
after having twice attempted to take
his own life. he was arraigned yes
terday before Judge Wilbur In the
superior court on the charge of in
sanity.
Last Tuesday the respondent man
purchased a rope at El Monte for the
purpose of hanging himself. but Just
as he was about to launch himself into
eternity strangers appeared upon the
scene and he was arrested on the
charge OF insanity,
Cogan recently had his wife arrested
on the charge of being insane. but aft
er brief examination she was dis
charged.
Cant you brace up and be a man?"
asked Judge Wilbur.
"I would like to, your honor" re-
piled Cogan. and he again assumed a
silent attitude.
The physicians explained to the court
that Cogans case was one of alcoholic
insanity. but as his condition has Inn
proved during the past few days. the
case was continued for one week.

PROHIBITION AND BLIND PIGS

j. F. Maier, jr., of the brewery firm
Of Maier & Zoebelein, in discussing
the liquor selling situation. said yes
terday: II do not think that the ar
bitrary rules of the Los Angeles COM
mission requiring that tables and
chairs shall be removed from all sa-
looms are just to the working men of
the community.
"They are the bread winners and the
bone and sinew Of the city. They do
not receive salaries sufficient to allow
them to join the swell clubs, presum-
ing that they have desire to do So.
The only diversion in the monotony
quiet enjoyment of convenient "clubs"
where they can secure liquid refresh
ments and meet their fellows for a
short chat. Why should they be de-
prived of the privilege of a chair or
a table?
Saloons Well Regulated
"There is no city in the United
States so we'll regulated in the liquor
line as Los Angeles. There are 200
saloons confined to zone or district,
none in the residence sections, and the
license is $75 month.
I'm my judgment, If licenses were to
be refused by vote Of the people. which
do not think is possible, Los An
geles would not remain popular as a
tourist city. Those who come now
and remain for weeks and months
would not be likely to stay more than
a day or two If there were no licensed
saloons. Shut up the saloons and
blind pigs" would multiply wonder
fully.
II, know what I am talking about.
The revenue that the city now enjoys
would be lost and I believe that the
so called liquor evil would become
disgraceful by the operation of the
blind pigs
