NARROW ESCAPE.

N. R. Hall had a narrow es.
cape from freezing to death
a week ago Tuesday evening
while going out to look after his
sheep on Spring Creek. He went
out with his team and while heln-
ing his herder gather his sheep
the team started back to town.
He started to follow them but
got lost in the storm and strolled
all night on the prairie, winding
up at daylight at Geo. Elders
ranch. His feet and hands were
badly swollen and when taken
IN at that place was about "all
in'. Several of Mr.. Hal; friends
on finding the team in town
started a searching party who
after going as far as Elders
found him.

the capitol building land grant
was also found to be much less

the shouters for Montana stone

pense. In the last offer of bonds
the state was the one and only
bidder.
"All's we'll that ends well.'
To the happy outcome three
things seem to have been nec-
essary:
First. The Billings spirit
put into action backed by Larry
Dobell and the Miner to work
over the house.
Second. The house killing
the senate resolution.
Third. The Senate killing
the house bill.

the last day of the session but

that an agreement to use granite

Since the adjournment of the
recent special session of the
legislature the press of the state
has published many reports of
the event most of which hint
that it was more of a political
meeting than anything else. A
reporter for the Eagle was
talking the matter over with
Senator H. N. Sykes on his re-
turn Monday and was handed a
clipping from the Red Lodge
Picket which was written by
Senator w. F. Meyer of Carbon
county. Senptor Meyers views
on the meeting are published
below and are indorsed by Sena-
tor Sykes as being the straight
of the proceedings.
Il am very glad of the out
come. l always wanted to see
the state house built of granite.
There is only one change l should
have made in the present pro-
gramme, if l could, and that is
to postpone the building of wings
10 years. Then we should have
been able to put up a structure
vastly superior to what we will
be able now to do, and coming
generations would have thanked
us for considering the states
welfare in our planning. How
ever, this was a mistake of the
eleventh legislative session and
a postponement could have been
accomplished now only by re-
pealing last years enactment at
considerable loss of expense
already incurred and by the
unthinkable process for repu-
dating contract entered into by
the authorized representatives of
the state.
"The present plan to build of
granite and the appropriation of
the additional $3.50, 900 therefor
was brought about apparently
only by the house killing senate
Joint resolution No. l and the
senate in turn killing house bill
No. /. The senate's resolution
provided that the legislation of a
year ago was sufficient and pro-
posed that the capitol commits
sioners carry it's provisions. The
house bill appropriated 100000
to enable the commission to use
Montana stone only and in
structed it to do so. Had the
senate resolution passed the
house, the wings would have
been built of Indiana stone with
the $500, 900 appropriated a year
ago. Had the house bill been
concurred in by the senate, the
wings would have been of COL
umbus sandstone at an increase
cost of $58, 900 over the appro-
priation of a year ago. Both
measures had to be defeated to
clear the way for the present
happy consummation. And it
was only after this was done
that conference committees from
each house met the capitol COM
mission and brougt for the NV
and present plan for the use of
enduring granite.

FACTS ABOUT SESSION
The Views Of Senator Meyer Of Carbon County
on The Work Of the Special Session
of the Legislature

1.-The attitude toward the use
of home product of the two
branches of the legislature and
their respective members has
been very materially misstated.
l believe there was no member
of the legislature that did not
wish and hope that the Montana
stone might be used under the
terms of the original bill Of a
year ago, which provided that
the board should procure all
material used in the construction
of the said building from the
products Of the state of Mon
tana, providing the same is pro-
duced in the state of Mon
tana, and can be procured as
cheaply therein as material of
like kind and quality can be pro-
cured elsewhere.
when however the gov
ernor's message and the report
of the board contented and de-
monstrated that the Indiana
stone was superior in beauty
and durability to any sandstone
wheresoever producted,' and
that to use the inferior stone
would cost the state $58,0OO
more than to use the superior,
there appeared a radical differ
ence of opinion. A majority of
the senate, regretting that the
Montana stone was at so great a
disadvantage, believed the dis
advantage in quality and price
too great to be overbalance by a
sentiment for a home article.
The house on the contrary, be-
lieved the sentiment should out
weigh the material difference of
alleged quality and expense.
1.-The Billings lobby of Billings
boosters, bubbling ever with the
Billings spirit, famed the flames
of sentiment in the house until
it went on record by appro-
priating so far as they could
$10O, 900 to carry out that SEN
timent. So far as l am per-
sonally concerned l stood with
the majority of the senate and
feel warranted in saying they
were right in refusing to carry
sentiment so far as to pay $685.
600 more for an inferior article
than the superior could be had
for. And still, while so holding
l claim to have as much Montana
spirit and enthusiasm of the SUBJ
stantial kind as a Billings boost
er whether he gets his stone
for his Billings dwellings from
Duluth or the brick from his
business block from Omaha,
while l am proud to consent
myself with Columbus sandstone
and Carbon county brick in the
erection of my buildings.
There were other consider
ations that weight with the
majority in the senate among
which was the inviolability of
the states obligation in the con-
tract it had entered into for the
building of the wings and the
seeming unwisdom Of disturb

Some Of the common sayings concerning
birds are stupidity wrong. "You stupid

yet the goose, whether wild or tame, is
most sagacious. Wild geese, for instance,
never feed without throwing out scouts
or sentries. ]. g. Millais describes how
be saw flock of geese feeding with sem
tries out, and how, after time, one OF the
sentries went up to bird that was feed
ing and gave it gentle peck on the
back. The latter thereupon left its graz
ing and went on to take up guard, while
the sentry took Its tnrn to feed.

fighters, and in the breeding season the
cock birds indulge in battles royal. The

circumstances. There are interesting
themes by the score. Try a discussion
or even q description of the institution

from the Y. NJ. c. A. to tell about the
