JACK BOND THROWS UP JOB or
WATCHING THERMOMETER.
WANT AN OFFICE HERE
Former Attempts Of cltlzsns 20 Have
salarlsd Observer In Billings FaIi-
ed-Wll Take Up Matter with GOV.
ernment ofnclals.

From Saturdays Daily.
Until there IL q weather observer
paid by the government, there will be
no more weather observations made
ofictally in this city because Chief
Jack Bond Of the fire department, who
has held that position anu conducted
the work for almost ten years with
out receiving q penny from the gov
eminent for 1t, has resigned and. be-
ing unable to ind any one else in
this city patriotic enough to take the
burden, has sent the instruments to
the weather office at Helena.
MI. Bond has regularly measured
the rainfall and recorded the TEN.
perature besides many other things
connected with the work Of weather
man since Billings was not much more
than q village.
Received No encouragement.
Efforts have been put forth by
citizens Of Billings several times to
have the government establish an
office Of the weather bureau in this
city with a salaried omcial IN charge
but each time they have met with no
encouragement.
The fact that Billings is a much
larger city and has a vastly greater
area tributary to 1t than most Of the
cities in this state having government
weather Offices has caused q number
Of local citizens to take up the matter
with a view Of putting It before the
proper government officials in Wash
ington.
So numerous are the inquiries con-
corning the weather. both In this city
and in the adjacent country that it
has been deemed almost. imperative
that the establishment Of a branch
Office Of the Genealogical service be
made as soon as possible in Billings.

Below we print portion of

KUHN, N. D., Jan. 26, 1908.
Mr.. Charles Carroll,
May, Idaho.
Dear Charlie -
/ received your letter Friday
eve. and was glad to get it, too,
although | was not expecting it.
You were forgiven long ago,
Charlie, but you must see for
yourself that it will take some
thing beside promises to make
me believe your repentance is
sincere. / have several of the
aforesaid promise on hand that
you made last spring waiting to
be redeemed.
George says if you will make
out an itemized account of what
he owes you and send to him, he
will be glad TO settle with you.
If you have anything to your
credit here, why did you not
speak of it when you were here !?
y
There is always place in this
world for a good, honest man or
woman. I'll send a telegram to
Wall Street and tell them that
you propose leaving the grand
old U. S. unless they do differ
emily, and perhaps they will be
more careful hereafter. All non
sense aside, Charlie, | believe
these troubles point to the end
of the world and no country will
escape. May the end find us all
faithfully doing our duty where
ever it may lie.
