OF LEGISLATIVE EXPENSES
ARE APPROVED.
NORRIS SIGNS MEASURES
Eleventh Assembly Of Montana Com
pletes Second Week Of Its Session
Two Proposed Acts Are Killed and
Total Of III Others Are Now Be-
fore the Two Houses.
Special to The Daily Missoulian.


Helena, Jan. 15.--Neither senate nor
house spent to exceed an hour in ses- :
sion today and before noon both bod
les adjourned until Monday afternoon.
Governor Norris signed the bills ap-
propriating money for legislative ex-
penses, including the per diem OF
members and employees and the three
bills are the net results of the first
two weeks of the session.
When adjournment came today there
was the grand total of lit bills in
both houses of which 80 originated In
the house. Two of these have been
killed and three have become laws.
In the senate, Cowgirl offered res
olution excluding every person from
the floor except senators, members of
the house, authorized press represen.
tatives and state officials. That would
have kept the wives of the senators
out, and 1t was voted down.
Two bills were favorably reported by
committees, one providing that county
commissioners may offer rewards for
the capture of escaped criminals and
the other provides for the establish
in connection with the state library.
One bill was introduced, by Selway,
providing for detaching Jefferson
county from the Fifth judicial district
and attaching it to Lewis and Clark.
the First judicial district.
In the house, in committee of the
whole, the bill to adopt and legalize
the 1907 edition of the revised codes
was favorably acted upon.
The committee on affairs of cities,
which has had the anti-pool blu ia
charge, reported recommending that
action be deferred, saying the author,
King, desired to offer several amend
ments before the bill was reported. The
bill appropriating money to pay the
expenses of the presidential electors
was favorably reported, as was THAI
amending the law relating to the cleo
tion of directors of irrigation districts.
The committee on employees recon-
mended the employment, as clerk, of
Miss Genevieve Haggerty, and the re-
port was adopted.

Circuitous Route.

Ogden, Utah, Jan. 15.--For the first

time in the history of the Southern
Pacific railroad through passenger
trains are not running west from Og-
den, but are being diverted at this
point and sent south and west over
the Oregon Short Line and San Pc
dro lines to Mojave, southern Cali
fornia, and thence north to San Fran
cisco. The washouts west of here
have caused the Southern Pacific to
issue orders that their trains arriving
this afternoon shall be sent by the
circuitous route via Salt Lake, and
the first trains to be affected are Nos.

Roads Are Blocked.

Reno, Jan. 15.-A long distance tele-
says the Southern Pacific railroad
bridges along the American river
have been washed out by floods, cut
ting off all overland routes, and
that it will be two or three days be-
fore trains can get through. The
only trains coming into Reno are
those from the east. Branch roads
north to Oregon and south on the
Virginia & Truckee roads are blocked
by bad washouts. The storm still
continues.

Presidents Message.

To the House of Representatives:
return herewith Wichou' my approval,
House Bill 17707 to authorize William
II. Standish to construct Il dam across
James river, in Stone county, Missou-
ri, and divert portion of it's waters
through tunnel into the said river
again, to create electric power. My
reasons for not signing the bill are.
THE bill gives to the grantee a
valuable privilege which, by its very
nature, Is monopolistic, and does not
contain the conditions essential to
protect the public interest.
Il have decided to sign no bills
hereafter which do not provide specif-
ically for the right to fix and make a
charge and for a definite limitation in
time Of the rights conferred.
"As we are met with conditions of
industry seriously affecting the pub
lie welfare, we should not hesitate to
adopt measures for the protection OF
the public merely because these meas
ures are new. When the public well
fare Is involved congress should re-
solve any reasonable doubt as to its
Legislative power in favor Of the peo-
pie and against the seekers for spe-
cial privilege.
The Daily Missoulian. [volume] (Missoula, Mont.) 1904-1961, 1909-01-16


ITO give away, without conditions,
this, one of the greatest of our re-
sources, would be an act of folly. II
we are guilty of it, our children win
be forced to pay an annual return
upon a capitalization based upon the
highest prices which the traffic win
bear. They will find themselves face
to face with powerful interests in
trenched behind the doctrine of vest
ed rights and strengthened by every
defense which money can buy and the
ingenuity of able corporation lawyers
can devise Long before that time they
may and very probably will have be-
come a consolidated interest, controlled
from the great financial centers, die
tating the terms upon which the citi
zens can conduct his business or earn
his livelihood and not amenable to the
check of local option"
Information collected by the bureau
of corporations, says the president,
shows that 13 large concerns, OF which

my reason for believing that the
federal government, in granting a
license to dam navigable river has
the power to impose any conditions it
finds necessary to protect the public,
including a charge and limitation of
the time, Is that It's consent Is legally
essential to an enterprise Of this char
acter. 1t follows that congress can
impose conditions upon it's consent.
believing that the national govern
ment has this power, I am convinced
that It's power ought to be exercised.
The people Of the country are threat
ened by monopoly far more powerful,
because in far closer touch with their
domestic and Industrial life than any
thing known to our experience. A
single generation will see the exhaus-
ton Of our natural resources OF oil and
gas and such a rise in the price of
coal as will make the price of electri-
cally transmitted water power a con-
trolling factor in transportation, in
and in household light
ing and heating. Our water power
alone, If fully developed and wisely
used, Is probably sufficient for our
present transportation, Industrial, mu-
nicipal and domestic needs. Most of
it is undeveloped and is still in nation
al or state control.

"A Hustling First Baseman.
This comeback was in the year 1901
when the American league set up its
invasion of the east. He had played
his retirement and although he wasn't
anything that ecIipsed the batting
stars of that day, Connie Mack picked
him as the man he needed for first base
after one or two had failed to deliver
the goods. From then on he was the
hustling first sacker of the Athletics
and for the past two years has been
captain.
Now the political bee is buzzing. If
Davis should happen to wander over
to Pawtucket, r. L, he could have the
office of mayor in that town by ask
ing for it. But Philadelphia suits him
and he's going into the political game
here. He has worked into the graces
of the bosses so that he now holds a
job as clerk in the office of receiver of
taxes, and he is counting on the Thirty
second ward to land him something
better before long.

ATTELI AN EASY VICTOR.
Has No Difficulty in Defeating Eddie
Kelly

New Orleans. Feb .5-Abe Atten of
California found no difficulty in re-
tanning the featherweight championship
when he met Eddie Kelly of New York
in a scheduled ten round bout before
the Southern n. c. here last night
Kelly's seconds threw up the sponge in
the seventh round
Kelly stood up with his opponent
with fairly well divided honors until
the sixth round when Atten made his
attack more vigorous and landed a
number of lefts to both face and body
which gave Kelly plainly the worst
of it.
When Kelly came up for the seventh
round AttelI sent him to the floor four
times in quick succession and his sec
onds seeing that he could not last long
err, gave up the fight.

physicians this winter.
MY trouble has been indigestion
and rheumatism. I was also generally
run down and suffered greatly from
nervousness. I also had palpitation of
the heart. caused by gas that would
form In my stomach as soon as l ate
anything. 1t is impossible to describe
how miserable L have been all these
years, or how hard I have tried to get

husband has had violent stomach
trouble for year. 1t got so bad this
past winter that he had swelling of
the joints and limbs. When 1 first
brought the medicine home he said
that I was foolish, as it would do me
no good. After had taken it for two
weeks I was so much better that he
got some and started taking it. He
got better faster than I. In two weeks
he was eating big meals and the
swelling had all gone away 1t took
four weeks before the rheumatism and
nervousness left me. although 1 ate
and felt better at the end of the first
week. I am now perfectly we'll; I
eat heartily and have no gas in my
stomach. I have gained a great deal
of flesh and feel strong and energetic.
