Says His Removal Is Illegal.
Ramsey, after the meeting, said his
removal was entirely Illegal, for the
reason that the meeting had not been
properly called. He made a protest
before the board saying that the by
laws required five days notice for a
special meeting of the board, and that
the notices for this meeting were
mailed only Wednesday night. His
protest was overruled, however Presi-
dent Delano took charge of his Office
at once.
Would Keep Out of the Controversy.
"Mr. Ramsey and l have always
been friends hitherto in the railroad
business" said Delano, "and 1 do not
want to come into this controversy in
any way. AS to Mr.. Ramsey's charge
about the illegality Of the meeting L
can say nothing. l am not lawyer.
But there were several good lawyers
on the board at the meeting, and l
presume that they would not attempt
anything illegal. 1t was the general
understanding that this was an adj

Did a Land Office Business.

1t was brought out by testimony be-
fore the legislative insurance commit
tee that Robert III. McCurdy, a son of
Richard A. McCurdy, has received as
commissions on foreign business ST..
1853, S29, and on domestic business $541, :
$50, and that Louis A. Thebaud, son
in-law of Richard A. McCurdy, has
received an aggregate of S92O,113 III
commissions from the company. Nc
Curdy read a long statement explain
ing his connection with the foreign
business Of the Mutual Life Insurance
company. When he started the for
eign department in 1885, he was al
lowed per cent. on all premiums from
foreign business.
Made More Money Than He Desired
In 1888 his commissions on this bust
ness amounted to 500, 500, and he vol
UNFAIRLY suggested reduction in his
commissions. His suggestion was
adopted, but despite the reduced rate
his total commissions in 1889 were
$40, 456, whereupon he requested fur
Their reduction, which was agreed tC
by the company. In 1891 his commits
sions were $51,626, and again he asked
for a reduction in his rate of commits
sion, which was agreed to. The same
thing occurred in 1900.
Finally Gives Up the Job.
In 1908, McCurdy gave up his super
intendency of the foreign department
and accepted the general managershiI
of the Mutual Life Insurance company
at a salary of $4,000 This salary
was increased to $4,000 in 1904. "Al
of the reductions in my commission
rate were made at my own instance,
said McCurdy, "and because | deemed
them fair, in view of the unexpected
growth of the foreign business Of the
company. All the reductions were re
troactive.' 81

Suit For Big Damages.

ANACONDA, Feb. Is. - Thirty-on one
thousand, nine hundred dollars is the
amount of damages asked for by Aus.
tin and Virginia De Roster in thei,
suit brought against the Anaconda
Copper company in the district cour,
today. The main allegation in the
complaint is that their property sus.
tanned that amount of damage by
reason of poisonous fumes from the
Washoe smelter.
The plaintiffs say they are owners
of a certain farm in the valley east oil
the city. They claim that during the
past few years the smoke from the
smelter has damaged their lands in
the sum of $50 per acre. AS a second
cause of action the plaintiffs want the
company enjoined and restrained from
allowing arsenic, sulphur or sui.
phuric acid fumes to be sent forth in to
the atmosphere. If the company does
not prevent the contamination of the
air as alleged, the plaintiffs want the
smelter closed.

Will Survey Reservations.

HELENA, Feb. 2O.-As soon as
spring opens and the weather permits
the work OF surveying the Crow and
Flathead reservations, portions OF
which will be opened to settlement,
will be continued. Large corps of sur.
veyors were at work last fall and
worked on both reservations until
they were forced to suspend on account
of cold weather. Preparations are
now being made to resume the work,
however, and it is expected that sew.
eral gangs of surveyors will be put on
it to finish up. 1t is thought that
the survey OF the Grow reserv alton
will be completed by the latter part OF
July.
The Fathead alton will prob
ably be opened last, as the surveys
will not be completed until after the
Grow reservation is disposed of. That
is, it will take longer to survey that
reservation than the Grow reserv a.
ton and naturally will be certified
upon later.

The Artificial Creation of Life

IFE originally HAPPENED. Life is made up of certain
organic compounds Certain organic compounds we're made
by nature; they could not be made BY human beings. These
compounds came together in some manner, and the result
was life.
There r. two facts which PRACTICALLY ASSURE us of
the ultimate artificial formation of living matter.
These are that LIVING matter is every moment formed from
LFElESS matter in ourselves and all about II and that living
matter must have begun to exist at some definite time in the carth's
history and must then either have originated SPONTANEOUSlY
or have come from space.
As there is no evidence that life exists anywhere in the universe
but on our earth, and as there is no reason WHY, if seed from space
reached the earth in the past, it might not do 50 now and NEW
BEINGS constantly appear without earthly parents, which no biolo-
gst believes, it is more probable that living matter originated spon-
taneously from ifeos matter.
Fortunately there have been other lines of investigation which
have modified this pangenetc hypothesis. Many different sciences
have contributed to an understanding of vital processes.
10 make living matter w shall not first have to make Il living
substance, for, as has been shown, no such substance probably exists.
but we shall have to duplicate a reaction in which possibly several
substances are concerned.
WHILE, Therefore, ITS ARTIFICIAL sYNTHEsis MAY Sc
LONG DELAYED, THINK, FROM RECENT PROGRESS, WE HAVE
EVERY REASON TO FEEL ENCOURAGED AND TO LOOK FORWARD
WITH CONFIDENCE TO THE ARTIFICIAL FORMATION or LIFE.
