Capitol Contract Controversy,

HELENA, Nov. 22.-The state board
of examiners, consisting of Governor
Norris, Secretary of State Yoder and
Attorney General allen, today made
an official reply to the letter of Bill.
lings Chamber of Commerce in e gard
to the use of Columbus sandstone in
the wings of the state capitol. In the
statement the board says:
"Your letter indicates that you have
been given some incorrect informa.
ton. This board has not selected,
nor has it required the use of Bedford
stone. The contractor can use either
q fret class Columbus or Bedford
stone, that will harmonic in color
with the stone in the present building.
lnasmuch as Bedford stone will cost
the contractor $102, 500 t. o. b. cars
Helena, and the Columbus stone at
the sam place will cost S161, ISL, or a
difference of $50, 251. it seems likely
that the Bedford stone will be used.
SIN letting the contract the cost Of
the Bedford stone was used as q basis
and the contract permits, but does not
require, the use of that stone."
That the lessee OF the Columbus
stone quarries last April told the
state board of examiners that the
stone for the capitol wings would
cost between 81 and 1925 per cubic
foot, and then after the plans for the
building had been drawn, gave the
contractors d price OF almost SO per
cubic foot, is the co arge contained in
a statement issued by the state board
Of examiners. This difference in price
Is said by the board tt be the only
reason why the contractor will proba-
oily use Bedford stone in place of CO.
lumbus stone.

A Lively Feast With Much Delight and

A study OF Robert Nays Accom-.
plisht Cook" published in 1865. will
serve to dispel the delusion fostered
by many foreign critics that English
cookery lacks variety. One of Mays
recipes is for the construction of q
ship OF confectionery. with guns
charged with actual powder. and n
castle Of pies. containing live frogs
and birds. After giving directions as
to the firing of the guns he proceeds:
This done. to sweeten the stink of
the powder let the ladies take the egg
shells full OF sweet waters and throw
them at each other. All danger being
seemingly Y e by this time you may
suppose they will desire to e what is
in the pyes; when. lifting first the lid
of n pye, out skip some frogs. which
makes the ladies to skip and shrek
next after the other pye, whence come
out the birds. who, by a natural instinct.

birds and skipping frogs, the one

Jim Hill Advertises Montana,
Butte Inter Mountain

Butte Inter Mountain.
Irrespective Of what James j. Hill
may have done for this state by the
railroad which owes it's existence to
his genius, new obligations have
been added to the account this year.
1t may we'll be argued that if the
Great Northern has done much to
bring about the development of Mon.
tana, this state also has done much
toward making the Great Northern
what it Is. One debt Offsets the other,
very probably, but when Mr.. Hill
devotes no little of his owe time and
energy to the exploitation of this state
we must recognize the debt we owe 20
him personally.
Perhaps the most eff ective advertis.
log the state has had during the pres.
ent year was the recital by MIR. Hill
in various public places of the posi-.
bilities of Montana. The great rail.
road builder has a reputation more
than national as a man who never
opens his mouth unless to say some.
thing. He is not given t bombast or
useless chatter. And when Mr.. Hill
says this 81 tate is destined to be one
of the greatest if not the greatest az.
ricultural state In the union, and tells
the people why, his statements count
for much. His speeches at the fair
and at the Billings dry farming con.
gress have had circulation all over
this land. They have brought the at.
tention of intending homeseekers to
the vital facts they wish to know: they
have turned the public eye on this state
as never before. Aud az a result of
this publicity, together with that OF
the other agencies all working to
Montana's good, there is certain to
be such a stream of high class immi.
grafton to this state next year as the
state has never known. Mr.. Hill has
stated within the next five years be ex-
pected to be instrumental in adding
.OOO people to northern Montana.
Doubtless be will do it, and the de.
velopment of all parts of the state will
keep pace with that of the territory
favored by his patronage.

ON THE TAXPAYERS TRAIL
Brattleboro Listers Announce New
Rules For Taking inventories.


Brattleboro, April 10.-The Brattle-
boro listers have announced their
adoption of a new plan for taking in
ventories. They will require that
every inventory delivered to them this
year be sworn to strictly in accor-
dance with the form as printed in the
inventories; that if any notary public
or justice of the peace certified that
an oath was administered with the
formality which the law required,
when as a matter of fact it was not
so administered, they would under
take to have the penalty provided by
law imposed.
They also stated that if they detect
ed any person swearing falsely in the
matter of his inventory they would
bring the matter to the attention OF
the grand jury The listers say this
determination was brought about by
the criticism and suggestions of the
commission that investigated taxa
tion in Vermont, also by suggestion
that much property in Brattleboro es-
capes taxation.
