Mr.. Frank Edwards, who lives on
Mr.. John Grantham's farm, near
neighbor Toby Howell, had the mis-
fortune to lose a tobacco barn last Sat-
urday evening. He was running near
the killing out" stage OF heat and the
legs on the rear of the barn caught, as
supposed, from the fiue, at its hottest
place. just where it distributes the heat
to both side nuss. The loss falls
heavily on Mr.. Edwards, besides it
being his finest barn of tobacco, and
his friends here regret his misfortune.

Penny postage would BIO, unQuestion-
ably, o benefit to the public. and at
the proper time IT may come. But the
time for it will be when it a be
safely inaugurated, still keeping the
postomce department somewhere near
a paying basis. There would be little
advantage in penny postage should II
result In the government treasury
having to come to the rescue Of the
department to the tune Of forty or
fifty millions a year which had been
collected from the people in taxes.
There has been no protest raised
against 2-cent postage, and will not be-
as long as this rate is necessary to
meet the annual. expenses Of the de-
partment. Until now there has been.
an annual deficit, though it has been
growing gradually smaller.
It is apparent, therefore, that as q
business proposition penny postage
should not appeal to congress. In
fact there is probably little possibility
Of It's enactment into law.

MAKE THE CITY. BEAUTIFUL.

It IS to be hoped that the agitation
started by the chamber of commerce
for the establishment in Billings Of
an annual cleaning day along the
lines Of the cleaning day IN Spokane
will bear fruit. Billings needs such a
day: It needs united effort on the
part of the citizens looking to the re-
moving of unsightly debris, weeds,
etc, which accumulate On vacant lots;
in the alleys and o. out Of the way
streets. AZ little work in the spring
of the year will save. much labor in
the summertime. The weeds, which
were permitted to grow last summer,
to which this paper frequently called
attention, e a knock to the town.
Nothing boosts a town SO much as its
cleanliness and nothing can knock It
more than filth and debris allowed to
accumulate in alleys and vacant lots.
The suggestion Of Secretary Decker
that the mayor and city council take
up the subject is an excellent one. It
would be an excellent move on the
part Of the mayor to issue a proclama-
ton setting aside some particular day
as cleaning day. If the citizens OF
Billings should all devote one days
work to improving the appearance of
the city, Billings would make q rapid
step. toward becoming the city beau:

There has really been changes
in American coins in the past CEN
fury than in foreign coins, and our
system Of money is undoubtedly the
best. The latest disappearance OF q
coin to be noted in Europe Is OF the
German thaler, which gave the title
to u dollar" and has about tho
same value. The thaler was first coin
ed over four centuries ago. q silver
equivalent Of the gold form, for gold
was then getting scarce and silver
plenty in Germany. When Count
Schlick in northern Bohemia minted
from his great silver mines this coin,
his Impress was SO beautiful that the
coin was called Joachimsthal, literally
Joachim's valley-for that is the sig
nilcance Of '''thal." Now there are to
be no more thalers, the coins are be
ing called in and the ave-mark piece
takes the place Of the thaler.

The agitation Of the Billings Cham
Der of Commerce for the construction
Of the proposed cutoff Of the burling-
ton railroad from Frannie,, Wyo., to
Bridger, Mont, on the Northern Pa
cific, is timely indeed, as 1T is under
stood that as a result Of the recent
financial depression there is some
danger that the Burlington railroad
will not Immediately carry out its
plans. No, stone should be left I'M
turned to bring about the construc-
tion Of thissliAe at the earliest possi-
BILE moment. The line will be OF great
benefit to Billings.

and jobbing trade Of Billings dealers

Horn valley VIII be wonderfully In
creased, as Billings will oe lOo miles
nearer by railroad to q large terri
tory in northern Wyoming than 1t 10
now. It will mean that all trains for
Cody and other places in the Big
Horn basin will leave Billings and go
~ way Of Bridger, owing to the easy
grade, in preference to going from
Toluca over the high Pryor mountain
grade, up which 1t is said an engine
can scarcely haul six loads. fas-
sengers bound from. the east, west.
north or south for points in the vicin-
ity Of Cody would change cars at
Billings in place OF Toluca, and scores
Of people who never come here would
visit Billings.
There is an excellent chance Of
persrading the railroad not to aban-
don constructing the proposed cutoff
II the matter IL taken up at once.
The To1uca branch Of the Northern
Pacific is one Of the costliest pieces
OF railroad in the country to operate,
due to the enormous grade both going
and coming from the Big Horn basin.
There would be no such grade over
the proposed cutoff and the cost Of
carrying freight in northern Wyoming
would be materially reduced.
The support Of every Billings
booster should be given the chamber
Of commerce in this matter. It is Il
be hoped that at IN early date q
committee will be appointed to con
fer with the railroad oncials to urge
upon them that the cutoff be con
structed. II It is, Billings will b
the city to reap the beqent Of It.
