WILLIAM HlCKOK INJURED.

William Hickok of Chestnut Ridge slipped on the steps of his house as he was going out on Monday evening,
 March g, and in falling struck heavily on his shoulder, throwing both this and his collar bone out of place. Although able to be about the house, he suffers severe pain from his injuries and it is probable that it will be several weeks before he will be able to do much work.

The republican party has been in absolute con-
troll of the government for nearly twelve years
and including Mr.. Roosevelt's two terms. What
ever has happened must be charged to the repub-
lican party. Persstently and always it has as

dodge responsibility for adversely
No less parsonage than James Schoolcraft
Sherman, republican nominee for vice. president,
said upon the floor of the last congress:'I repeat
now that the republican majority is anxious that
the country should know that we are responsible
for what is and what is not DONE"
Among the things done was the wasteful extrav-
agance in the expenditure of public funds Ac-
cording to the official statement issued by the
United States treasury department., there was a
shortage of $144 900, 600 for the fiscal year. The
excess of expenditures over receipts for the year
approximate $50, 0OO 0OO which has been exceeded
but twice since the civil war. Oh, no! There is
no extravaganza in spending little matter of $50,
600, 900 in one year more than your income?
That's merely high finance for the taxpayers to
settle. The disbursements for the year have ag-
gregated about 1863 600 OOO or $50, 900, 600 more

ages of one and 81 years.
When the population in the district
under the age Of q years is multi
piled by AZ, the ratio, which is used
in eastern communities in computing
estimates OF population from
the school census, It gives Bill
ings a population Of 1856, but when
it is multiplied by 5h, q ratio which Is
considered fair in the west, owing to
the large number OF single men in the
communities, It gives Billings an es-
minated population of 1854.
The gain in population between the
ages of / and 81 is 48S during the
past year, which makes the increase
19.404 per cent.
In the spring Of 1907 when the city
directory was issued, the population.
as estimated BY the directory publish
ers, r. Z. Polk Co, was 1925.
Eighteen months has elapsed since
chat estimate was made. Basing the
increase on the same ratio as the
increase In school census, would give
this city a population Of 1887, at the
expiration of one year and a popula-
ton at the expiration OF is months or

Called to Authorities' Attention.

1T is not up to the city OF Bill
ings to construct bridges or repair
bridges over the drain ditch which
runs around the city on the north
side, as that ditch is outside Of the
city limits, the boundary Of the city on
the north side being on the south side
Of the ditch" said Mayor Fred H. Fos-
ter in speaking Of the criticism for
the n in which the ratings and
bridges are kept up.
'tThe matter Of building bridges and
keeping them in repair is up to the
county authorities. The taxpayers who
live in the additions to Billings be-
You'd the ditch do not contribute one
cent to the taxes Of the city and there
fore they are not entitled to any Of
the benefits Of city government. II
they escape the taxes then they should
expect to escape the benefits Of city
government"
Referring to the condition Of the
sidewalks and crossings, Mr.. Foster
said that in any section Of the city
where a majority Of the taxpayers pc
tition for the construction Of q side
walk in any block, then the city coun-
Gil will undoubtedly order the walk
constructed as the residents owning
property in that block pay for the
sidewalk.
AS to the condition of the street
crossings, he said that while the city
treasury was depleted, nevertheless, II
there was need of a crossing in any
section Of the city and the matter was
called to the attention Of the alderman
Of that ward. undoubtedly it would be
brought to the attention Of the council
and the crossing either repaired or one
laid, as the condition requires.
1T is up to the people to say what
shall be done in the way Of sidewalk
and crossing improvements" said
Mayor Foster.
The bad condition OF the stree,
crossings and sidewalks in some sec
tions Of the city has been freely com
mented upon since the recent storm

children on their way to school and
other pedestrians have been compelled
TO go out of their way to escape the

A fyee might school for the young
beyysy/of this city who cannot attend
school and are compelled to work for
a living is to be established at the =.
M. q. "A. soon. It is to be conducted
under the supervision OF the secre-
tary, G. E. Steele, and will develop in
to one OF the most successful features
Of the Y. M. G. A. so far brought
forth in this city.
That young boys of the city a go
to the Y. M. C. A. building on Tues
day or Thursday night between 1880
and 900 p. m, and receive individual
instruction in the common branches
is something that should be taken ad-
vantage OF by them or their parents.
It is a distinctive feature Of Y. M. g.
"A. management and is. bound to be a
success. a,s,ss
Volunteer instructors to the number
Of four or five will teach the young
lads, and already several applications
have been received from proficient in
%structors, willing to work without
compensation.
There are three rooms that can be
diverted into class rooms, containing
200 square feet OF blackboard. These
rooms will be put in the same CON
dition as a modern school room.
It is the intention to cater exclu.
sively to boys who have not had an
opportunity to attend school, and who
have to make their own way In the
world. Messenger boys, who are com
polled to remain out OF school and er.
rand boys may take advantage Of this
school.
The school will start next weeh
and if possible. the first class
will be organized Tuesday evening
Reading, writing and arithmetic and
other elementary branches Of in

It is hoped by Secretary Steele that
this proposition will be encouraged
by the business men and other resi-
dents Of the city, az there is absolute
" no expense attached to It and 4
is a thing which should receive thu
support Of everyone.

GENERAL DELIVERY ESTABLISH
Es RECORD FOR FIVE STATES.
MANY PEOPLE SERVED
More Than 1000 People Served at
General Delivery Window ii One
pay-Are Now $50 Boxes in Use
and More Coming.

More people receive their mail at
the general delivery in Billings than
in any other city in the states OF
Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, North and
South Dakota, according to figures
compiled by one Of the local post
office officials. On a single day last
week it was found that than
1000 people had received mail at the
general delivery, while the daily aver
age ran between $50 to 1000 people.
This is said to be more than 100 in
excess of the number Of patrons Of
the general delivery in the Butte Of
flee and much larger than the num-
her Of any other Office in the five
states mentioned.
Business at the local postofice is
something enormous" said Assistant
Postmaster Booker yesterday. I'VE
have in use $50 boxes and 1t has
proved insufficient to- supply the de-
mand, so we have ordered 200 more.
There has been q steady and 9 notice
| able increase in the amuont of mail
matter handled here. though the fig
ures are not here to show the exact
amount. There has been an increase
for some time and there Is q con-
stantly increasing number Of strang.
ers producing mail here"
The local postofice, according to an
Inspector, who was here recently is
one Of the most crowded Offices in the
west, doing more business than any
other once Of its size In the country.
There are eleven clerks and six car.
riers employed every day. One young
LADY clerk Is needed to attend to the
selling Of stamps and envelopes. She
sells more than $125 worth Of stamps
every day.
Changes in the personnel OF me
clerks are frequent. though they are
becoming less than was the case
slightly over one year ago. An ex-
animation will be held today under
the civil service rules to secure appli-
cants for positions as clerks and car
riers. Five young men have signi.

fed their intention Of taking the ex-
animation. Yesterday two more young
men filed their application to take an
examination, but as there was not
sufficient time for the applications to
be forwarded to headquarters in San
Francisco and return, they will have
to wait for the next examination. The
young men. who pass will be eligible
for appointment as clerks or car
riers in the local office and will be
given their positions, according to the
manner in which they pass the exami-
nation, as rapidly as vacancies &C
cur.
