"HeIlo" GirIssResume Work.

BUTTE, Feb. l6.-Local telephone
operators resumed work at 10 o'clock
this morning, a compromise having
been reached between the officers of the
Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone COM
pany and the striking girls union, as
q result of the efforts of a committee
from the Butte Central Labor council
and members Of the lately organized
Merchants association, acting as an
intermediary agent. An agreement
was obtained only after q session that
extended from s O'Clock last night IN.

to the controversy made concessions
but it may be said that the operators
went back to the switchboards under
conditions that are q great improve
ment over those in effect in the past.
Every striker goes back to work.
1t was due to the liberality of the
council members and the wise counsel
Of the business men that the telephone
management was prevailed upon to
make certain important concessions.
The strike lasted exactly one hour
more than three days. The settlement
is in many respects considered . vic.

mand not granted was the wage scale

Cost OF KEEPING PRESIDENT

1t is difficult to determine precisely
what it costs his "fellow citizens" to
keep the president Of the United
States, but it is safe to assert that it
does not figure up more than two-6fths
OF q cent for each person in the coun.
try, man, woman and child, says the
Washington Star. Compared with the
cost of maintaining the head rulers OF
many imperialistic nations the expense
attached TO keeping the chief executive
of this country is small. The royal
families of England, Germany and
Russia spend millions of dollars OF
government ven every year and
besides have set aside for their use
large domains OF lands and costly
buildings.
Among the presidents of republics
the one who costs his countrymen the
most per capita Is the president of
Haiti. Citizens of that nation pay

MEDICINE HAT, Feb. 1.-THE chi.
nook, which made its advent in the
good old.fashioned way on the 7th
met, has cut down the snow sufficient.
ly to allow stock to get down to feed.
This relieves the situation to some ex.
tent between here and the Rockies, but
east of Walsh it has no doubt crusted
the snow.
The present winter will long be re.
membered as one of unusual severity.
Cattle have suffered greatly from the
extreme cold and crusted snow, aud
the percentage of loss on the range
will be heavy. The country from the
Hat to Swift Current on the east and
from Milk river north for q couple OF
hundred miles is about all that is left
of the open range. We are still tout.
side the fence" as our old friend
George Houck used to say.
There are so many starved cattle
drifting into town that the mayor or.
dered them to be taken up and fed, but
as some of the owners protested
against bis action In the matter, the
mayor called . public meeting to dis
cuss the subject. The meeting resolved
that all starving cattle found within
the town limits be taken up and fed by
the municipal authorities, the owners
to be charged so cents per head per
day.
Although the present winter has not
surpassed in severity the old-timers OF
1867 and 1923, the loss Of stock will
probably be greater than in those dis
astrous years. The trouble is that the
old range outfits have been driven by
force of circumstances pretty we'll out
side the limits of the chinook belt. The
chinook in its full vigor does not
reach much below Crane lake, 30 miles
east of Maple creek, and east Of that
locality It is not much than "a
delusion and q snare.' The old pio-
neer cowmen knew what they were do
ing when they chose the Blackfoot
country for an abiding place. One OF
the things that plays havoc with drift.
ing stock during the severe weather is
the barbwire fences. The enclosures
are mostly overstocked during the
summer, and cattle drifting before a
storm often find an entrance but can.
not make On exit from what proves to
be a veritable cul.de-sac. These con.
ditions demonstrate the ~fallacy of the
proposition TO run a drift fence along
the internationa boundary, which wat

Hay has gone up in price by leaps
and bounds, selling at the present
time in Medicine Hat at $500 per lon
pounds. SHEMoKOMAN.

There are several minor items, such
as $4,000 for the care and maintenance
Of the executive mansion grounds,
which makes the total close to $780,.
600.
The total appropriations for the
present year are much larger than In
past years, but much of this is due to
the appropriation OF s35, 600 for re.
pairing the executive mansion, which
developed some bad leaks after the
$500, 900 spent on rehabilitating it two
years ago. The appropriation for re.
pairs, etc., would ordinarily amount
to about 5000, which would reduce
the expenditures chargeable to the
White house to about S240, 600.
The item of s35, 900 for care, repair,
refurnishiug, etc., is expended as the
president sees fit and there is little
Limitation by the comptroller of the
treasurer. That official never bothers
with white house expenditures, al.
though having %autocratic sway with
all other departments of the govern.
ment. A president of the Uuited States
never attempts to change a decision of
the comptroller, but he has no trouble
in changing the comptroller.
There are q number of salaries that
properly belong to the white house,
although carried on the rolls of other
departments. The two secret service
men assigned to the white house at all
times are paid by the treasury. The
salaries of about 30 police officers are
paid by the district. These amount to
probably s35, 600 a year. If congress
appropriated directly for the salaries
of these men the total appropri ations
for the white house would amount up
to owe $500, 600 for the present year.
There are 18 priv ates and 2 sergeauts
of police constantly patrolling the
white house grounds. In addition
there are about 10 police officers as
signed to duty at the white house az
d~oorkeepers. Most of them have beer
soldiers or s~ailorslin the army or navy
and have been selected by the district
authorities for their strict attention t.
duty aud general good judgment.

Why Watches Are Cheap.

The cheapness and excellency OF the
modern watch are due to American
invention and skill. W atches were
first made early in the sixteenth cen.
fury, but it was a century before the
coiled spring was introduced and the
''bullseye' watch was made. It was
long considered a special mark of
gentility to carry a watch.

But, of course, this cannot last There
