ENCOURAGING SHOWING.

The weekly statement OF q New
York clearing house for the week end
ing yesterday shows that the banks
OF the metropolis hold $6,0S4,05O
more than the 25 per cent reserve re-
auired. This is most encouraging. IT
shows that conditions in the money
center Of the nation are gradually re-
Stunning normal.
When the financial crisis occurred
last fall the banks Of New York lack
ed more than $40, 900 of containing
the reserve required. The deficiency
has been gradually lessened each
week until it has entirely been wiped
out and a balance is shown over the
amount required by the IS per cent
reserve rule.
The wiping out Of the deficiency
shows that the demand on New York
for money has grown less and that
conditions throughout the country
have recovered from the shake up Of
last fall and have reached normal
once more.

railroad Immediately after Its com
pletion seems to meet with the ap-
prevail OF the leading business men
and boosters OF Billings. Wherever
the subject was discussed, 80 far as
The Gazette can learn, 1t was the
unanimous verdict that such an ex
cursion would be q good thing for
Billings. Several of the business men
approached by a representative Of
The Gazette signiied their willing
ness to send representatives on 1t.
There seems to be no doubt but
what such an excursion would be q
good thing for Billings. There is q
large territory tributary to the new
road. AS a result OF the construction
OF a railroad it will be more rapidly
settled than heretofore and several
thousand people win make their
homes in it during the next year.
There is a vast farming region, an
immense livestock country and a large
coal mining district to be opened by
1t. If a trade excursion was run from
Billings over the new road it would
enable our merchants to become ac-
quainted with the consumers in the
new territory and lay the nucleus for
a large business.
The business men Of Billings seem
to recognize the opportunity offered
by such an excursion so that what is
needed is for some n Of them to
take the initiative in making prepa-
rations for 1t. Arrangements for it
should be made as soon as possible SO
that everything can be carried out as
it should be. Committees will have
to be appointed, a program and itin-
erary outlined and other necessary ar
srangements made.

4 WISE DECISION.

The announcement by Judge Fox
that in the future he will not sign de-
crees Of divorce until some time after
they are granted and that DEGREES will
be refused where one of the parties
to the suit is seeking a divorce in or
der to Immediately marry some n
else should meet with general appro-
baton.
The ease with which a person can
cast off am old love, secure a divorce
and Immediately marry a new love,
in Montana has made a farce of the
divorce and marriage laws in many
instances. Men and women have
been known to secure a decree of d.
vorce and then go Immediately from
the court room to the office of the
clerk of the district court and take
out a license to marry. There is a
law on the statute books prohibiting
such action, but owing to a defect in
1t, county attorneys throughout the
state have generally advised the
clerks of the district court to disre-
gard it. But even if the law were en-
forced it would be possible for the
divorces to go to a neighboring
state and be married.
The decision of Judge Fox is an
excellent n and will probably pre-
vent a recurrence of such divorces
and marriages in this county for a
long time.

BILLINGS OPPORTUNITY.

Within the next six months two new
railroads will be operating in eastern
Montana-the Milwaukee and the
Billings & Northern. The territory
which these two roads will open up
should naturally be tributary to Bill
ings. The wholesalers of this place
should furnish the people of that ter
ritory with their supplies. There will
be new towns spring up and thous-
ands of acres of land along the new
lines will be placed under cultiva.
ton. There will be a big demand for
merchandise of all kinds, and Bill
ings should supply this demand.
But this is not the only city which
will bid for the business. Billings
men should bear that in mind. This
has been the only town of any size in
this section Of the state so long and
has such a wonderful location that
we have felt secure. But we should
not be too sure. We should reach
out after the business. Great Falls is
going after the business along the
new line from the north and we must
start after it from the south.
1T is not too early to discuss an
excursion over the new line soon at.
ter its completion. Such an excur.
sion as the business men of Denver
and Omaha conducted into the north.
west would be an excellent invest.
ment for Billings. It would enable
our merchants to see something Of
the new territory and become thor
oughly acquainted with the mer
chants situated in 1t.
There is nothing that would boos,
Billings business as much as an ex
cursion. The Gazette hopes the sug
gestion that one be conducted will be
carefully considered and arrange
ments made to run it when the Bill
ings & Northern is completed. It /:
an opportunity for Billings business
men that should not be passed up.

TIMELY ACTION.

The Billings Chamber of Commerce
has taken steps to have the time for
moving onto the Huntley lands ex-
tended to May Is. As it is now the
people who filed on land under the
government reclamation project last
summer must move on their claims
very soon or else forfeit their land
and the first payment, which they
made.
Many Of the intending settlers are
people in Iowa, Missouri and other
central states, where the recent
stringency in the money market was
sorely felt. Many Of them had de-
posits in the banks which they were
unable to get, while others were eff
fected by the financial troubles in
such a manner as to be prevented
moving to Montana until late in the
spring.
Unforeseen circumstances have arts.
en-, which have caused the plans OF
the intending settlers to miscarry
and If some action is not taken ex
tending the time many Of them will
be unable to take up the claims
which they have filed upon.
kilograms and letters have been
sent to Senator's Dixon and Carter and
Congressman Pray urging them te
have passed IN act extending the
time for moving on the lands unde,
the Huntley project until May Is. II
is an excellent suggestion and 1t is tt
be hoped that Montana's representa-
tives in congress will secure the pas
sage Of such a law.

GOING SLOWLY in
DIGGING OUT MEN
MINERS IN ALPHA MINE HAVE
IN STILL LONG TO WAIT.

Ely, New, Jan. 13.-very little
headway has been made during; the
last two days in the rescue work in
the Alpha SHAFT. The ground Is very
soft and fills up almost as rapidly as
It IL taken out. It Is expected that
solid ground will soon be reached.
During the last few days the ground
has been settling frequently and in
several cases those in charge Of the
work feared that the entire shaft
would cave in at any moment. Each
time one. Of these settings occurred,
the rescuers were pulled to the sur
face, where they remained until the
motion ceased. Fresh food and water
have been sent to the entombed men,
enough to last them for two months,
although it is not expected that it
will take that long to effect their
rescue.

EMPLOYERS Liability.

Senator Knox has introduced an en-
ployers Inability act in the United
States senate. The decision OF the SUI
preme court declaring the old law UNI.
constitutional had not been granted "a
hours when the senator from Pennsyl-
vania introduced a bill which, 1t Is be-
lieved, meets the objections Of the
court, the bill applying to employees
and corporations distinctively engaged
in interstate commerce.
Senator Knox is undoubtedly n OF
the greatest Of American lawyers and
it is probable that his bill is one the
constitutionality 81, which will be at
frmed II 1t is enacted into law. When
the former law was before the United
States senate, Senator Knox raised
the same objections cited by the SUI
preme court in declaring It unconstitu-
tional, and offered amendments that
would have eliminated them had they
been adopted.
It Is to be hoped that this session Of
congress will adopt an employers
liability act that will be found con
stitutional. The fact that Senator
Knox was so quick to introduce a bill
covering the liability Of employers
leads to the conclusion that one viii
be adopted, as the gentleman from
Pennsylvania Is very close to the pow
ers that rule the senate.
In spite Of all precautions exercised
by employers, there are unavoidable
accidents and even deaths in ever.
! line Of business connected with thu
mechanical arts. This inevitable los
of life may be reduced, but It canno
be completely eliminated. It Is a grea
social injustice to compel the employe
or rather the family Of the killed Q
disabled, to bear the burden OF sucl
an inevitable sacrifice. The employ
and those dependent upon him shoul'
be given due protection by the law Il
the shape Of a comprehensive liabtlt:;
law.

in PERSIA.

The effort to establish popular gov.
eminent in Persia seems to be more
successful than a similar effort in Rus
STA. There is a decided contrast IN
the outcome of the contest between
the court and legislative bodies in the
two countries. In Russia the contest
between the czar and the douma still
drags, with the court usually on top.
In Persia a similar contest has result
ed in a short and decisive victory for
the legislature. The shah has been
compelled to give additional guaran-
tees Of liberty to his subjects.
The development of the Persian par
lament has been most rapid. When
it was announced by the late shah that
he had granted a constitution and q
parliament to Persia the general opin-
ion seemed to be that the new legis-
lative body would be a weak affair,
and it would take a long time to de-
velop legislative independence. But
the contrary has proved to be the
case.
In the recent crisis in Persia the
legislators were victorious. The shah
who granted the constitution and par
lament was a broad minded ruler and
very liberal. His son and successor is
a reactionary. This disposition Of the
ruler caused a conflict before he as.
sumed the throne, which resulted. in
his being forced to take IN oath to
uphold the constitution. Twice he has
tried to repudiate the oath, but each
time the parliament has stood firm and
come out Of the contest with liberty
more strongly e%ntrenched in Persia.
During the last contest the legisla-
tors threatened to summon the people
and march to the palace gates and
overthrow the shah unless he ceased
his reactionary efforts. So It looks as
though the experiment Of representa-
tive government in Persia was to be
successful. It will be watched with
interest, however, by the entire world,
as Persia is the first Moslem power
to make the experiment OF representa-
tive government.

COMPULSORY ARBITRATION.

The miners Of Goldfield, Nevada,
have adopted the proper course in re-
questing the governor to insert in his
message to the state legislature a
recommendation that a compulsory
arbitration law be adopted relating to
labor disputes. If such a law had
been on the statute books Of Idaho and
Colorado the stories of the Occur
d'Alenes and Cripple Creek labor
troubles would never have been writ
ten. Each strike would have been.
settled before the acute stage was
reached.
This far away it is impossible to
judge as to the merits Of either side
in the Nevada labor controversy. The
garbled reports, which have been sent
out, have undoubtedly been censored
and the outside world has not been
given the true facts. But enough has
been learned to convince the unpreju-
| diced person that some steps should
be taken to settle the trouble. When
employer and employee are as far
apart as they are in Goldfield the
state ought to be empowered with au
thority to step in and compel arbitra-
ton. "A compulsory arbitration law
would enable the commonwealth to
do SO.
The solution Of labor troubles is one
of the most perplexing questions. Yet
arbitration offers an excellent solu-
tion. Such unions as the Interna-
tional Typographical Union, which
have arbitration agreements, have lit.
tie labor troubles. But a union like
the printers organization is more or
less responsible. The trouble with
the arbitration agreements made with
many unions is that the organizations
are not responsible and there is no
way to enforce the agreement. But II
compulsory arbitration should be
adopted the state could enforce II
and it would be beneficial to both EN-
ployer and employee and in a meas.
ure insure industrial peace.
