Photographer Takes 100000 Views
Along the Line Of the Milwau-
kee-To Advertise Road.

Last week travellers on the Chicago,
Milwaukee and Puget Sound noticed
car especially devoted to a photo
graphic outfit. Inside was a woman
and a staff of photographers, says the
Butte News. There was moving
picture outfit such as was used to take
the films OF the Jeffres-J ohnson fight.
Mrs. George Kendall, which is the
name OF the roads expert photogra-
pher, has taken photographs of 1859
miles OF the road. These films re-
produce millions of scenes along the
road and an idea of the magnitude of
her operations may be gathered from
the fact that within the Montana
state lines alone she took upward of
100000 pictures alone.
TRAVELLED AT LEISURE
wherever there was a scene of ac-
tivity which Mrs. Kendall wanted to
get complete, such as the loading OF
trains OF sheep or stock or the oper-
ating of traction plows, she had the
car side-tracked and arranged to have
everything pretty near as she wanted
it.

and started out for a little recreation
from a shed in the rear of GIG Fowler
street. 1t was fortunate incident
for several persons who met Mr. Goat
that they had eaten their breakfasts
before leaving home, thus avoiding
the trouble of eating from the mantel
or top of the kitchen cabinet. The
animal was in joyful mood, and lib
erty and fresh air made him frisky.
The goat made no distinction as to
sex. In his playfulness he enjoyed
seeing woman just as much as a
man. and the result was that two
women were badly frightened and
shocked by having their bonnets
shaken violently when they felt a
sudden shock from the rear.
1t was stated to the police that one
man was shaken loose from his false
teeth by the unexpected greeting Of
the goat, but the bicyclemen who in
vestigated failed to learn his name.
