Those who follow the comment OF
Henry Clews as a guide to their onin-
ion in financial and business affairs
will find comfort and encoura cement
in his summary of present conditions.
In his current letter Mr.. Clews SANS:
There are few, if any, clouds on the
financial horizon. The outlook con-
tinues satisfactory; and the spirit OF
optimism having extended itself into
the commercial and Industrial field,
nearly all the leading industries are
happily feeling the impulses of recov-
cry under the stimulus of lower prices
and cheap money The iron trade was
first to respond to these conditions,
and is at present showing considera-
BILE activity, the volume of orders for
structural, railroad and agricultural
implement work being very large
Various other metal markets are also
reflecting these improved conditions,
while the electric and rubber indus
tries are showing symptoms of re-
Vival. The textile trades, also, though
undergoing the customary quietness at
this period, are In relatively healthy

CITY IMPROVEMENTS.

The general interest which exists In
the subject of the physical improve
ment of cities is evidenced by the large
number of conventions which have
been held this year for the considera-
ton of matters that pertain to this
question. Such a convention meets
today in the national capital and will
remain in session two days, 1t is a
national conference and delegates from
cities in all parts of the country will
attend The papers and discussions
are to treat of city planning in the
widest sense, including all methods
which must be adopted to insure the
development of city along economic,
aesthetic and hygienlc lines. Much
attention is to be devoted to the con-
sideration of the best method of re-
stricting intensive building, so as ia
prevent overcrowding or congestion Of
population.

FERRIS is TO ESCAPE
PROSECUTION
MAN ACCUSED OF WRECklNG
TRAIN WILL NOT BE TRIED
ON ANY MORE CHARGES.
Special to The Daily Missoulian.


Butte May 20.-Louis Ferris, ac-
cused Of being the man who wrecked
the Burlington train on the night of
May s, 1908, as it was entering the
three men, will never be further
prosecuted for the alleged crimes. He
was once tried for the killing of En-
gineer Busy, a Missoula man, and
acquitted. He was still confined in
Jail awaiting developments, but none
came. Finally it was decided to dis
miss all of the charges, as a convic-
ton seemed impossible. Shortly aft
erwards an insanity charge was filed
against him. This was transferred
on Monday to Judge Lynch's depart
ment. In the meantime counsel in
the ease had agreed to have DR..
Scandand Of Warm Springs pass upon
the sanity of the man. This was done
and today the doctor stated that the
man was sane and responsible, al
though weak minded. His discharge
followed.
The troubles Of Louis Ferris began
May 6, 1908, when he was arrested on
an alleged charge of robbery. He was
shot through the knee by Sergeant
Sinsel before being taken into custody,
and while in the hospital was accused
of having dynamted the Burlington
train near the Tivoli brewery on the
night of May /, 1908. An alleged con-
fession was then supposed to have
been made by Ferris but this was
later repudated, and he stated that
the only reason he made the confess
sion was because he had been prom
ised his liberty and a job as a team
ster. He was then charged with hav-
ing murdered Engineer Busy, Fire
man Ehle and a tramp, Carl Meng,
who We're killed when the train was
wrecked. He was put on trial for the
murder of Engineer Busy, and after
a hearing, lasting almost q month,
was acquitted by a jury.

NARROWLY ESCAPE
DEATH IN FLAMES

Reno, New May 2O.-A dozen occu-
pants of the Clairvile hotel at Clair
vile, New, had narrow escapes from
being burned to death and many of
them lost all their personal effects
when fire destroyed that hosiery early
this morning. The building, a frame
structure, burned like finder, and sew
eral suffered slight burns in getting
out of the building.
In fire four years ago on the same
building lot five persons were burned
to death. The place is said to have
been a boarding place of Mark Twain.
AS a result of the fire James Halla-
way is a hero. He carried two UNI
conscious women from the burning
building, sustaining severe burns
about the head and hands. The loss
to the building viii aggregate $500.
Eight hundred dollars in greenbacks,
kept in the till of the hotel office,
We're destroyed.

condition, while raw materials gem
orally, as we'll as partially fabricated
materials, are in much better demand
from manufacturers. Another notice.
able feature is the continued large inn
portations of raw materials, partly In
anticipation, it is true, of tariff
changes, but still very largely in ex-
pectation OF larger consumptive re-
qurements. One more very striking
indication of business recovery is that
bank clearings in the United States
during the first four months of the
current year amounted to $51 500 ,000,
600, an increase Of 80 per cent over
the same period last year Allowing
for the fact that considerable of this
increase was due to higher prices
and greater activity on the stock
exchange, it follows, neverthe-
less, that an actual increase in
the volume of business must have been
largely responsible for so great an ex-
pansion. A still further evidence OF
growth is found in the latest reports
of railroad earnings, the total of all
roads thus far reporting in April
showing an increase Of about IA per
cent over a year ago. Railroads are
benefiting somewhat from slight adj
vances in rates, but here, too, an ac-
tual increase in the volume of traffic
plays the most important part. 1t is
quite evident that our railroads will
present satisfactory net results during
1909, since gross earnings are steadily
increasing and expenses have been
greatly reduced by recently enforced
economies. Bearing in mind that the
railroads win be free spenders during
the remainder of the year on account
of deferred repairs, improvements and
extensions. it must be recognized that
their return to prosperity cannot be
otherwise than an important factor
in stimulating business Improvement

NINETEEN YEARS AGO.

White the dignified members of the
federal senate are calling each other
bad names and pretending that they
are debating the tariff bill, an ami
versary has come around which may
suggest to them lesson, that the way
to do things is to do them and not to
waste time in talking about matters
that are foreign to the subject at is
sue. 1t was nineteen years ago today
that the house of representatives
passed the Mckinley tariff bill Note
the word, passed; they didn't run into
the summer with their discussion
they passed the bill.
