New York authorities are waging a waf
Of determination on unmuzzled dogs. state
laws require dog license and this Is now
supplemented with a nuzzle order, the lat
ter causing an outburst Of Indignation
from friends Of the animal. A letter from
NJ. BontauX in the New York Herald, ex-
presses the prevalent criticism. The writer
directs attention to the city Of CONSTANT
nople. where dogs circulate free as air
and rabies is unknown. He alleges that the
muzzling of dogs is a piece Of cruelty to ami
mails. A man, says he. perspires through
his skin, a dog by way Of his mouth. A
muzzle limiting its breathing power, drives
the animal wild, and produces the very con
dillon that the wise ones OF the Board
Of Health seek to avoid. "Our sympathy
is with NJ. Bontaux and the dogs" says
the Herald. May his educational cam.
paign be as successful" The New York
Times devotes nearly a page to a review
Of the war on rabies and summarizes the
situation in these words: Their are APP
proximately 10000 dogs in New York City.
Not more than 5000 Of them are licensed,
as the laws Of 1894 require they shall be.
The number of stray dogs is estimated at
10000. The Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Animals is directed by the laws
of 1894 to catch and kill unlicensed dogs
and stray cats. They are being seized at
the rate Of 300 a day. Last year 1OS.679 were
caught and killed. From January l to
June e, 1907, the number thus disposed Of
was 46,A7. For the corresponding period
this year the number was IS, $50. The in
crease is IS per cent. ANY or all stray ami
mails may develop and spread rabies. For
three years h~ydrophobia has been on the
increase in this city. In 1907 fourteen per-
sons died Of it here. This number IL far in
excess-in some cases three and four times
the number-of deaths recorded from the
disease, according to the latest available
reports for the great cities of Europe and
America"

The crowd in lower Broadway stopped

looked down from the windows in the tall
office buildings. An itinerant Vender OF
that cheapest of musical instruments the
mouth organ, merely a bit of tin, had been
whistling modern airs that one hears from
the orchestras. Somehow they hadn't made
a hit. The vender a tall, lank young man,
ceased whistling. The crowd kept on It's
restless way. After a short wait the vender
placed the tin again between his lips and
tried another air. Here and there people
fell out of the crowd, stopped and listened.
First one and then another, and then more,
handed out a nickel apiece. The fellow
had played "Cavelleria Rusticana." After
he had sold a number OF his tins the crowd
began moving again. Business for the
vender was running down. He placed a lit
tie instrument once more between his lips.
The sound emitted filled the street. II
rose to the tops OF the skyscrapers. II
stopped the crowd on either side of the
thoroughfare. People in the passing open
cars turned and peered. The vender was
surrounded by a crowd which purchased
all his stock. The music was written in

Ohio for BRYAN.

Columbus, O., Feb. 18.-William J.
Bryans visit to Columbus today was
signalized by the democratic state
committees endorsing his candidacy
for the presidency. The committee
made provision for the state conven-
ton by which the voters of any coun-
tv in which there is registration
city may express their preference for
a candidate for the presidency by
having the name of candidates print
ed on delegate tickets. This action
was taken at the request of Hamilton
county democrats, who favor the
nomination of Judson Harmon, of
Cincinnati, former attorney general
of the United states under President
Cleveland.

democratic members of the assembly.
Twelve hundred persons were seat

Der had seats in the galleries Mr.
Bryan's subject was "The Point of

In an interview here today Mr..
Bryan said:
II can't say just how much Pres
ident Roosevelt's attitude has had to
do with the present financial distur-
bance If his investigation and re-
commentator have tended to squeeze
the water out of watered stock the
blame should fall not on him, but
upon those who have watered the
stocks. My criticism would be that
he did not commence soon enough to
storm the fort. The great questions
to share the attention in the coming
campaign. I believe" said Mr.. Bry-
an, ''are the trust, the tariff and these
railroad questions. But one question
runs through all of these however, and
that is, shall the government be ad-
ministered in behalf of the people or

BELIEVE. THE Mines
Will RESUME SOON
ENCOURAGING REPORT SENT
TO BUTTE FROM EASTERN
BROKERS,

Butte, Feb. 2l.-Ditpatches flashed
over the wires from New York to
Butte brokerage houses today con-
veyed reports of rumors that within
80 days the mines of Butte will have
resumed full operation. No local
opinion on the subject could be had
from any of the Amalgamated Of
fcials.
Some siinifcance is attached to the
rumors by a report from Hamilton
tonight to the effect that the Ana
conda Copper company has issued
orders for the resumption on March
2 of its big saw mill plant. This
shut down at the same time as the
mines.
The much better conditions in the
copper markets during the last few
days have done much to create a
feeling of optimism concerning local
conditions. Today a Boston dispatch
to Paine, Weber & Co., says: "Thir-
teen and quarter cents have been
bid and refused for copper"
a Dootoll NEWS DuI cdu uISpdlCu "
Paine, Weber & Co., says:
"The United Metals Selling com
pany, it is authoritatively stated, has
sold in the last 48 hours upward of
100000 pounds Of copper Thus
far this month it has sold something
like 6O,OOOOOO pounds, and, it is stat
ed, at about l3 cents. Only week
ago it was said that the combined
selling agences had sold between IS,
100000 and 100000 pounds and
since that time the market has be-
come more active, and great deal
more copper has been disposed OF
than during the first two weeks"
! his better feeling in copper was
reflected in the local stock market
The dealings in Amalgamated and
North Butte were strong, particularly
in the latter. North Butte opened al
a. and closed at IS IL, while Coali-
ton opened at IL IA and closed al

quite spirited at times, and it closed

DEMOCRATS ARE UNITED.
Will Present Unbroken Front to Re.
publicans Who Are Disorganized.

Warrington, D. c., Feb. 19.-Pol-
itics around here is beginning to
buzz and siz with unusual life and
animation. It has been the misfor-
tune of the democrats in many state
and national campaigns to go into the
fight with divided party, but in the
presidential campaign that is now
rapidly approaching, they will enjoy
the benefit resulting from that con-
dition of affairs prevailing in the re-
publican campaign. Mr.. Roosevelt
has been great preacher on civil
service reform, but it took Senator
Foraker, of Ohio, to point out to the
country that federal patronage is be-
ing used all over the country in vio-
lation of law to boost the Taft can
didacy.
1t is charged that there is indis-
putable proof that federal ofhcehold-
ers are working for the Taft can
didacy in Missouri and North Car
| olina, that their activity in Florida
was revealed by the state convention
there and that generally throughout
| the country officeholders, influenced
| by their knowledge that Mr.. Roose-
welt has fixed ideas about the success
sion ,are working to the end that the
sions, are working to the end that his
| desires in this respect shall be real
lied.
In the first and second districts Of
Florida the Taft forces named four
tional convention.
Recent developments in Missouri
have also aroused citizens. In that
! - e Ioo1o~oI ~fc
holders were active in behalf of Sec
retary Taft at the convention held in
the second congressional district.
Postmasters, deputy collectors Of
customs and internal revenue collec-
tors have all been impressed into the
service for Taft, although it is not
charged that this was done on orders
from Washington.
| 1t appears from information just
obtained here that two officers prom
inent in administration circles are
taking an active part in the cam
paign to nominate Secretary Taft.
One of them is George Won L. Mey-
er, the postmaster geenral, who, it is
said, will be the big man of the ad-
ministration if Mr.. Taft is elected
president. The other is Beekman
Winthrop, assistant secretary of the
treasury. Messrs. Meyer and Winth-
rop, according to a story told here,
are the gentlemen to whom are sent
visitors who are in search of infor-
nation as to the whereabouts of the
band wagon.
If what is told here is to be be-
lieved Mr.. Meyer and Mr.. Winthrop
have evolved a process whereby any
one who may be on the fence can in
a short time be converted into an en-
thusiastic Tafter.

PETER OVREN PASSES AWAY.
Former Well Known Citizen of Lew
istown Dies in Billings.

Peter Ovren, who made this city
his home for several years but who
left here for Billings about two years
ago, died last week in Billings. The
following account of his death is
taken from the Billings Journal:
Peter Ovren, pioneer of Mon
tana and for many years respected
citizen of Billings, died in this city
last evening at o'clock, the end
coming peacefully after an illness of
four months from stomach trouble.
His death was not unexpected, as
he had been constantly failing in
health for more than a month, the
malady with which he was afflicted
being necessarily fatal. While he ap-
parently recognized those about him,
he had been scarcely able to speak
for several days, and yesterday
morning he lapsed into unconscious
ness, from which he never rallied,
passing away as though in slumber.
Few men were better known to the
old timers of Billings than Peter
Ovren. He came here in March,
1882, from Deadwood, South Da-
kota, travelling overland with H. P.
Nelson, also a Montana pioneer, who
is now resident of Fergus county.
The two men came in with a bull
train, carrying quantity of mer-
chandise, including furniture and
hardware consigned to local firms.
Mr.. Ovren and Mr.. Melon were
the first building painters to estab-
lish residence as we'll as business
in Billings, remaining in partnership
for several years. Many of the
houses both dwelling and mercantile
bear mute testimony to the skill and
industry of these two painters.
About 10 years ago Mr.. Ovren and
Mr.. Nelson went to Lewistown
where they opened paint shop. The
former continued to reside there un-
til two years ago, when he returned
to Billings.

Will BUILD five
GRAIN ELEVATORS
ROYAL MILLING COMPANY OF
GREAT FALLS DECIDES UP
ON PLAN.

The Roval Milling Company, of
Great Falls, have decided upon the
construction of five new grain ele-
vators, one and probably two of
which will be located in Fergus
county. The following dispatch in
the Great Falls Tribune of Friday
tells of the ambitious plans of the
milling company:
A decision most important to the
farmers of Cascade county and this
section of the state has been reached
by the Royal Milling company of this
city, and Manager Sherwood has re-
ceived authority at once with the
construction of five elevators, each
with capacity of from 10000 to 5O,-
600 bushels of grain. One of these
elevators will be located at Belt, one
at Cascade, one at either Stockett or
Sand Coulee, one at Mendon, in Fer
gus county and one at point south
east of Belt, probably either at Ray
nesford or Spionkop.
Work on the construction of these
elevators will 60 forward as soon as
the weather permits and the material
can be assembled, and they will be
rapidly pushed to completion so as
to be able to handle the crops of the
coming season.
It is the purpose of the company
in building these elevators not only
to handle the wheat required by the
Royal Mining company more advan-
tageously to the farmer and the com
pany, but to provide convenient
cash market for all kinds of grain
and hay raised by the farmers.
To this end the company have
made arrangements at Helena, Butte,
Spokane and Seattle to dispose OF
hay in large quantities, and of course
an unlimited market for the choice
barley and oats raised in Montana is
easily arranged for in the east.
After this year it will be easy for
the farmers living near these ele-
vators to exchange their grain or hay
for cash price at anv time, or the
elevator company will be prepared to
store these products for them at a
moderate charge, issuing warehouse
receipts for the same, SO that they
may told them till they think best to
sell.
In speaking to Tribune reporter
concerning these new elevators and
the advantage they would be to the
farmers in saving them long hauls
Manager Sherwood of the Royal
Milling company said that quite Of
ten they received shipments of wheat
at the mill in which two or more
kinds of wheat had been mixed, eth
er because different varieties had
been sown or because two neigh.
bors joined in the shipment. In such
cases the wheat had to be all graded
at its poorest kind, and loss came to
the farmer who had the better va
riety mixed with the poorer. In de-
livering at the elevator each load car
be graded at its proper value.
The company has had this move ii
contemplation for some time, but {
final decision was only reached few
days ago, and orders sent to Manager
Sherwood to select the locations fol-
these five elevators at once and rro
ceed with their construction.
There are other elevator sites ir
northern Montana under contempla
ton by the company, but these five
are definitely fixed upon.
