Out OF Swaddliny Clothes.

From the Sheridan Enterprise:
Sheridan is out of swaddling clothes;
she is no longer helpless infant but
strong, healthy child that gives
every evidence of growing. She has
forsaken the ways of the hamlet; she
has tired of stagnacy and will soon
be thriving, pulsing place, with a
municipal debt. BY their votes on
Tuesday on the public park question
the people of Sheridan proved that
they possess civic pride and are alive
to their best interests. They want
their town to grow and have taken
the initial step toward that end, which
is to use their credit, by issuing bonds
for public improvement. The man
who was never in debt never accomp-
lished much-it is likewise with a
town.

intelligence that John ID. Ryan. the
present head of the Anaconda Copper
Mining company, has been elected to
the presidency of the Amalgamated, is
good news for Montana and Butte.
Mr.. Ryan has always been a good man
for Montana, and as president of the
Amalgamated will do more than any
man who could have been elected to
succeed the late H. II. Rogers to build
up the interests of the corporation in
this state. Here's to John ID. Ryan,
and may he long continue at the head
of affairs.
Church Is Needed.
From the Chester Signal:
The town is certainly growing and
the good work is bound to continue.
One thing that the newcomers look
for and fail to see is something that
looks like church. We should get
busy and remedy this defect at once.

Fire started in the Moore hotel
Tuesday night about 10 o'clock, which

frame buildings, were completely de-
stroyed. Loss about $1,000, fully

new one that should be built to meet
the needs Of the travelling public for

Entltled To Patrooage.

From the Northwest (Stevensville) Tribune:
There are business men in Stevens
Vile who are almost unknown to the
newspapers. in in advertisingwsy. but
who bite at most of the fake advertis-
ing schemes promoted by outsiders
and grafters. They apparently always
favor the illegimate against the legiti.
mate. 1t has been recorded, however,
that on some occasions some Of them
have been beautifully bitten. We
cannot take pity on this class of bust.
ness men. They expect the newspa-
pers to always boost for the home in
dustry, but they cannot boost the
newspapers. 1t is well-known fact
that q newspaper in town benefits
every other laudable enterprise in the
town and it should be given legiti-
mate patronage by the business men
that it benefits.

The Shortcut Chap.

From the Ravall (Hamlton) Republican:
This is the time of the year when
the shortcut chap is constant worry
tothe property owner who is doing his
level best to have fine grass lawn
and parking. This chap seems to
have no regard whatever for such
things, and appears to be possessed
of but one idea, and that is to cut
corners wherever possible. no matter
whether or not it means to walk over
agrass parking or grass lawn. The
keep off the grass" sign is not need
ed for those who have regard for the
beautiful, and it is wholly disregarded
by the shortcut chap. The grass
killer is the human relative of the
dandelion. He is natural enemy Of
beautiful lawns. He is a pest, but,
unlike the dandelion, he cannot be
exterminated.

PAROLfO THIEF IS
ORDERED TO JAIL
Gust Johnson's Probation Re-
voked and John McCauley
Gets Penitentiary Term

OAKLAND, Sept. 1S.-Judge Brown
revoked the probation which he~ had
previously extended to Gust Johnson
today and sentenced John McCauley
to three and half years in the peni-
tenfiary at San Quentin. The two
men and a third named Harris We're
implicated in robbing NJ. V. Perry on
a San Pablo avenue car Harris es-
capped. Lack of consistency between tes-
timony given in behalf of McCauley
and Johnson's own testimony today
caused the revocation of his parole.
Johnson was questioned at length
regarding his part in the affair. but
connected himself so slightly with the
robbery that Judge Brown was puz-
zled to know why's he pleaded guilty.
Feeling that Johnson had overstepped
the bounds of truth today and that
the entire story had yet to be learned
Judge Brown ordered him into the
custody of the sheriff.
After sentence had been pronounced
on McCauley he was asked. if he cared
to enlighten the court, but he said
that Johnson knew little about what
was going on. The statement was
not considered reliable.
Johnson and McCauley were bar
tenders, but Johnson gave up that oc-
in bakery since probation was
sound mentally. owing to an injury re-
ceived during boyhood. Superior Judge
Mogan of San Francisco was wit
ness in his behalf at the earlier hear
ings. Johnson Will be sentenced
Wednesday.
