SOUAW KELLY IS
MISSING FROM TEEPEE
HE is ENGAGED IN ieNoBLE
WORK OF CLEANING STREETS.

From Saturdays Daily.
"squaw" Kelly, an adopted Grow.
whose birthplace was the little green
isle DER the sea has been treated very
ungraciously by Judge F. l.. Mann.
"Squaw' has been in court many
times and with true blarney succeed
ed in getting away with a threatened
sentence, but not SO this time.
When Judge Mann saw "Squaw" ST.
lently and alone in police court yes
terday morning, he was wrathy. He
had taken Kelly OFF on the quiet and
had labored with him for hours, trying
to get him to mend his ways, he had
suspended sentence on him innumer-
able times. On this occasion the judge
gave it out that no more immunity
would be granted to the prisoner. He
would not make him serve out all the
old sentences against him, for that
would probably take "Squaw" a year
or two, but he would put him at work
on the streets and see what his fur
ther actions would be.
"Squaw" possesses an unquenchable
thirst, and it is anything from white
Line" to coal oil with him. He seems
to have a fondness for Minnesota ave.
nue. brands and when he gets his skin
full he can sing with great pathos. AT
any rate he will be missing from his
tepee for some time to come.

WORK or MOVING STRUCTURE
WILL BEGIN THIS MORNING.
WILL lNSTALLA BAKERY
Many improvements Will BE Added to
Mil! and Scientific Sanitary Baker
Will Be Installed to Manufacture
Flour Products from Billings Nttesf

From Saturdays Daily.
Work Of moving the tiour nlill MON
the north to the south side OF the
Northern Pacific right of way to make
room for tracks leading to the new
Union depot will begin this morning.
The contract for the work was let yes
terday by Manager Vilm Of the Bill
lngs Milling company to J. M. Eaton.
When the mill building is moved,
Manager vilm said yesterday, the
company will invest several thousand
dollars in improvements. 1t is the in
tention to install additional machin-
cry and put in improvements: The
wheat crop Of Eastern Montana in
1909 will be the largest in the history
Of the nation, barring unforeseen set
backs, and Manager Vilm intends to
be prepared to handle all produced in
the district tributary to Billings, as
we'll as a vast amount shipped in. He
says that at the present time, the
crop in this section does not more
than furnish half the supply Of grain
for the mill.
Another innovation which the Mill
ing company will install is a modern
sanitary bakery, when the product Of
wheat raised in this section will be
made into bread. The installation of
this bakery will mean an investment
Of thousands of dollars, as it will be
equipped with machinery throughout
and the product will therefore be SAM
tary, not a hand touching it during the
manufacture, from the time the flour
is made into dough until the finished
bread is taken from the oven. ;
Manager Vilm intends to establish
the bakery for the purpose of showing
what kind of products can be manu-
featured from flour made of wheat
grown in the Yellowstone valley,
which he says is the finest raised in
the country.

The improvements by the Yegen
Bros, include the remodeling OF a por-
ton Of their retail quarters, 50x130
feet, the buildings now occupied as a
harness shop and second hand store.
This portion Of the building will be
made to conform with the rest of the
block. The improvements will cost
$4,000.
They will also build a new whole
sale house on Twenty-eighth street,
15Ox140 feet, two stories and base
ment, with concrete foundation, built
Of pressed brick, which will be 9 thor
oughly modern wholesale store, with
all the latest appointments, which will
cost over $4,000. This building will
adjoin their other property.
Another story will be added to the
block in which Keil Bros store is To-
Gated, at the corner Of Montana I've
nue. and Twenty-eighth street. This
building is now two stories high and
50x14O feet. A passenger elevator may
also be put in this building. This i'm
provement will cost upward of $780,
600.
The improvements contemplated by
the Stone-O rdean-Wells company is be
ing held up temporarily on account OF
the company not being able to secure
a site which suits for the erection of
a wholesale house. What they desire
is a site 100x-125 feet contiguous to
the tracks of the railroad, in a good
business location, and they are will
ing to lease or buy the ground, on rea-
sonable terms. The company has de
cided on the size Of the building it
will put in and expects to spend $780,
900 or more for a modern home, if it
can ecure the ground.

a consistently approve OF 1t n as
sist us toward its attainment:
GAS now situated, the Billings &
Northern passes W your company's
road at the Musselshell crossing at a
height of twenty-four feet. What we
would like would be some arrange
ment between your company and the
Billings & Northern by which an inter
change of traffic could be effected at
the crossing of the two roads. This
would entail the construction of a
.'wye'' on the north side of the stream
of probably not to exceed a half mile
in length so that cars from one line
could be transferred to the other and
freight unloadea for transfer when in
less than carload lots. Should this be
done, we are confident that a great
deal Of business would accrue to your
road, as Billings would then retain the
trade of Roundup, Musselshell and in
%termediate points, which for years it
has controlled, in fact, ever since it's
origin. Billings has grown to be an
important distributing center and is
constantly growing in Importance in
this respect, and we feel that anything
which can be done in encouraging it's
growth in that direction must Of
course, be to the advantage Of the
railroads upon which it relies for out
lets to the surrounding territory.

Dear Sir:-I wish to acknowledge
receipt Of your communication of Nov.

THE matter will be referred to our
General superintendent as to the prac-
ticability of such a connection, but
from what the writer has observed,
with a general knowledge Of the coun-
try surrounding this crossing, it does
not look possible that a connection Of
this kind could be made excepting at
a very great cost, and If such connec-

would he a very difficult one and con
slant menace to safe railroading. I

Mysteries in the GubeYnafOyiaI
Campaign.

IL the guDefnaLOTldl campaign III IcOf-
gia had to run on, through all the sum-
mer and into October, there is no telling
to what pitch political hysteria might go.
We never knew it to be so violent SO
soon after the campaign opened. Consid
ering that only one of the candidates is
an orator and is making the welkin ring,
the amount of noise with which the well
kin does ring is phenomenal.
The Jeffersonian is getting great deal
of quiet amusement out Of the situation,
for this is one time when The Jeffer-
sonian is not mixed in the fray. Being
mere looker-on in Vienna, we can afford
to take things philosophica1ly and to
comment upon passing events with good
natured impartiality.
That fight between the Smiths and
the Browns should naturally create di-
vision among the Joneses is the most
natural thing in the world, and we have
no doubt that these painful differences of
opinion and of interest which have al
ready sprung up in Our three leading
families, will gradually disseminate them
selves throughout the state.
Why it is that any one should really

volved in this campaign we can not TN
derstand. At the last session of the Leg
slature the Prohibitionists swooped
down upon the state capitol and, in spite
of the hostile attitude of Governor Hoke
Smith, they wrung the prohibitory stat
ute from the Georgia solons. If the pro-
hibition sentiment was SO powerful then
that it asked no odds of a hostile gov
ernor, why shall anybody think that it
will not maintain it's ground, now that
every politician in the country realizes
how suicidal it would be to antagonize
it? AS both candidates for governor
have repeatedly and positively and pub
licly pledged themselves to enforce the
prohibition law, and inasmuch as gov
ernor can not make laws, nor repeal
them nor amend them, we really can not
take any stock in this alarm which GER
tain politicians have created among the
honest, disinterested Prohibitionists of
