BETTER THAN EVER.
This Years Edition of wonderland"
surpasses All Others.

In view of the rare excellence
achieved in the past by the gentle
man, it was thought that Olin d.
Wheeler had about reached the limit
OIL his ability in the production OF
Northern Pacific's annual edition OF
Wonderland" work descriptive Of
the northwest. This, however, proves
not to have been the case. This years
publication is even better and more
artistic than any that have preceded
it,. From cover to cover it is a work
of art and as such is worthy of pres.
ervation in any library, not to say any
thing concerning the high class of the
matter it contains, and which gives it
additional value.
Of particular interest to the people
of this state is the chapter entitled
"a Bit of Unwritten Montana His
tory" 1t tells how Montana was rep
resented in the convention which re.
nominated Lincoln for the presidency
and how it's representation was et-
fected. Accompanying the article are
portraits of former Governor Edger.
ton, former Governor Samuel T. Haus-
er and Nathaniel P. Langford, who
was the territory's delegate in the
convention.
Another article interesting to Mon
tanans is the one entitled "The Sep
ulchre of Lame Deer" and relates the
story of General Miles fight with that
noted chief and the latter's death.
OF course, the Yellowstone Nation.
al park comes in for it's usual share of
attention. The bad lands are given a
chapter under the heading of Mature
Sculpture" and the Lewis and Clark
exposition is not overlooked. In con-
nection with the descriptive matter
of the park is a history of the early
explorations made there, and there
again do the names OF we'll known

AN IMPORTANT SIDE LIGHT
EXPERT SHOWS EFFECT OF RATE
DISCRIMINATION.

Washington, May 17.-An important
sidelight was thrown on the railroad
rate situation yesterday by colloquy
between Professor Ripley of Harvard,
who was testifying as an expert on
the rate question, and Senator Keane
of New Jersey, one of the most pro-
nounced pro-railroad members of tho
senate committee which is conducting
the present hearings.
Professor Ripley was rate expert be-
fore the industrial commission sever
al years ago and is master of the
philosophy and details of that ques-
ton. He was testifying to the general
effect that the majority of shippers
who have appeared before the senate
oms1ittee are from the large centers
OF population and not from the smaller
places, where the discrimination chief
ly exists.
He noted that the testifying ship
pers have, with few exceptions, said
that they were we'll satisfied with the
present condition and were against
any change in the law.
These men, Professor Ripley point
ed out, by reason of their living In
the large cities, have been enjoying
the benefit of the favoring rates for
years, and they enjoy them now.
keane Tried to Reply.
Senator Keane undertook ito reply
/ to this statement by saying that the
committee had heard number OF
shippers from the smaller cities and
towns, among them one from James
vile, Wis, and that they had agreed
with the shippers from the large cities
in saying that there was no need for
Legislation.
Professor Ripley then pointed out
that almost all the shippers from
small places referred to by Senator
Keane (and this, by the way, was true
of the GAINESVILLE MANI, were men
enjoying the milling-in-transit or the
commodity privileges, and that
these privileges put them on plane
of equal opportunities with the ship
pers from the large cities.

MORTON GOES TO WABASH.
Will Assume Presidency of Road in
October.

New York, May 17.-Paul Morton,
secretary of the navy, is to resign in
October, according to a report circu.
lated in financial circles, to take
the presidency Of the Wabash rail
road.
Mr.. Morton has announced that ne
will retire from the cabinet in Octo.
ber, and as the general election of the
Wabash will take place about that
time, Wall street regards it as ex-
tremely likely that he is onl.v waiting
for the vacancy which will be open
to him when Mr.. Ramsey sewers his
connection with the Goulds.
It is said that Mr.. Gould was dis
pleased at the friction whicn Mr. Ram,
sey's policy caused with the Pennsyl-
vania road, which resulted in the
ousting of the Western Union Tele-
graph company's lines from the Penn
sylvania lines east of PittsEurg.

GREAT RACE HAS BEGUN
ELEVEN YACHTS BEGIN CON
TEST FOR KAisER's CUP.

Sandy Hook, May 1.-THE ocean
race for the cup offered by the Ger
man emperor was started at 1915 p.
m.
The boats crossed the starting line
in the following order: Ailsa, Rilde-
garde, Atlantic, hndymion, Hamburg,
Thistle, Fleur de Lis, Sunbeam, Apa-
che, Utowana, Valhalla.
In an easterly wind that was not all
that could be desired, the II yachts
were towed out of Sandy Hook bay
about IL o'clock and made for the
starting line off Sandy Hook lightship.
At that hour there was still consider
able fog, but it was gradually rising
just before noon, and one could see
distance of five miles or more. The
wind had been blowing about 10 miles,
however, and had dropped consider
ably, so that when the yachts crossed
the starting line there was not much
more than knot zephyr.
The yachts hadd little time for ma
neuyering at the line, for hardly had
all dropped tows and made sail than
the preparatory gun was fred, just
at noon. Ten minutes later the
warning gun was fired, followed in
FIVE minutes by the starting gun.
Looked Good in Early Hours.
The weather conditions early today
were much more favorable for the
start of the yachts in the trans-Atlan-
tic yacht race than on yesterday.
Just before 8 o'clock the wind was
| blowing 8 knots an hour from the
northeast, the sky was cloudy and the
air sharp.
At that time it was impossible tu
clearly observe objects 10 miles away
The Sandy Hook lightship could be
plainly seen from the highlands OF
Navesink.
Conditions Reversed.
Yesterdays early conditions, which
were so favorable to the square-rig
gers, were reversed today. The pros
poets of smart beam wind or q
close reach down the Long Island
shore was quite to the liking of the
schooners of the fleet and especially
those on board the yawl Ailsa. which
is considered the fastest yacht or
the wind of any.
Preparations. therefore, were begur
today on board all the yachts an

MCCLURE CONVICTED.
Slayer of w. H. Aughey Sentenced to
the Penitentiary.

the Penitentiary.
Information has been received from
Forsyth of the conviction of William
Mcclure, who was tried for killing
w. H. Aughey, at one time q resident
of Billings. The homocide occurred at
McClure's ranch, considerable dis
tance north of Forsyth and there were
no direct witnesses, except the de.
fendant himself. A colored woman
who was supposed to be in possession
of important information and who had
been subpoenaed for the state, com,
mitted suicide several weeks ago,
shortly after the arrest of the defend
ant. Fear to give her testimony is
supposed to have been the cause that
led her to take her life.
The jury found Mcclure guilty OF
homocide and left the matter of pun
ishment to the court. Judge Loud
sentenced him to six years and six
months in the penitentiary.
McClure's defense was that the
killing was the result of an accident
and claimed that the rifle which kill
ed Aughey was discharged while they
were struggling for possession OF the
weapon, which the dead man, who
was drunk at the time, was using in
manner that foreboded trouble to
others.

MACHINERY CONTRACTS
Purchase of Equipment for Roosevelt
 Dam Construction.

Messrs O'Rourke and Steinmctz, contractors for the construction of the Roosevelt dam yesterday placed a couple of orders for machinery, with the representatives of eastern houses, who were mentioned in yesterdays paper. The orders will approximate something over $4O,OOO, including freight and installation at the dam site.
 One order was for two large cable ways and was placed with the Lidger- wood Manufacturing O., of New York, represented by Frank B. Knight. The other order was for a half dozen large derricl1s, especially constructed to meet the requirements of the work. This order was given to the American Hoist and Derrick Co.,, of St. Paul, represent ed by Frank J. Johnson and will ap- proximate $1S,000.
 These, figures of course are some what larger than the net cost of the machinery and are approximated for | it is impossible to tell just what the freight will be. IL will be nearly as much from Mesa City, by wagon as
 the freight to that point from the place
 of manufacture.

COAST MAILS
WILL BE LATE

"No mail until Friday That is
terday. The cause is the delay in the
sailing of the Oceanic liner Sierra
from San Francisco. AT the office
of the agents it was STATED that the
delay was probably caused by the non
arrival of the English mails which so
often delay these steamers. Advices
from San Francisco state that the
liner has been in the Hunter s Point
dry dock this trip and it is possible
that some repairs were found neces-
sary and that these delayed the YES
sci. 1t was announced at the COM
pany's local Office that the Sierra
would be in Friday morning but if
she makes as good time as the Sono-
ma did last month she will be in
Thursday evening. The Sonoma left
at a. m. on Friday, Feb. 3rd and
arrived here at $50 p. m. the follow
ing Wednesday. The Sierra left at
a. m. Saturday last and should ar
rive here Thursday evening.
A small amount of mail will prob
ably come on the Mongolia which left
San Francisco at p. m. the same day
that the Sierra sailed. Mail to the
coast will go as advertised on the So
mona, probably sailing at or p. m,
today. Just when the next mail direct
to San Francisco will go is not known
as the agents of the Pacific Mail line
are uncertain as to the sailing time OF
the Manchuria. They have received
no word of her sailing from Yokohama
yet. There will probably be a mail
via the Nevadan from Kahului later
in the week.
