by large crowds, no resistance was
offered to the soldiers. The militia
men came here on a train of 19 steel
ore cars and two fiat cars on which
had been mounted two machine guns.
Shortly Butte will be declared

COUNTY DIVISION IS
SURE TO CARRY

The above map showing the
manner in which it is sought to
divide Mclean county at the.
coming election in November is
itself one of the best arguments
for county division that anyone
could present. No fairer division
could possibly be offered for
both the. proposed new county
and the old. 1t can be plainly
seen, by referring to the map.
what an enormous expense 1T rs
to the tax payers Of the county
to have processes served from
the county seat to the various
points in the north end OF the
county. Those who fear that
dividing the county will increase
the taxes, will have only to look
at the map to see that the X
pense of conducting the affairs
Of the county with its present
boundaries is more than doubl2
what it would be if the county
were only half its present size.
We believe that the two counties
can be run at a less expense than
the present county is.
The superintendent of Schools
is required to make at least three
visits each year to every school
in the county. The expense OF
mileage for a trip from Wash
burn to Dogden would amount to
the school tax levied on a half
section of land. Every time a
jury is drawn, the expense to
the county is something enor-
nous. Think of what the mile
age Of one juror from Raub to
Washburn and returning would
amount to, saying nothing Of
the time required in travelling to
and from the county seat. This
would be cut in two il the county
were divided and at the same
time mileage would be practically
eliminated for the jurors drawn
from the central part of the new
county, for where now they are
so miles from the county seat, in
the new county the same juror
would be within a very few miles
of the county seat. These are
only a few instances where a
great saving would be made for
the county.
Not only should expense be

considered, but convenience as
well. Every tax payer should
be in a position where at least
once a year he could visit the
county seat and see for himself
how the affairs of the county
are conducted. The county Of
ficials are the servants Of the
people and the people Of the
county have a right to see what
they are doing. Matters arise
which the voter wishes to look
into himself at the county seat,
and very often he is compelled
to- make the trip to the county
seat whether he wishes to or not
the expense Of the trip amounts
to more than his taxes onhis land
would amount to in. several years
These are a few things to be

BURGLARS SENSE OF HUMoR
Quality Not at All Appreciated by Vic.
Tins Who Have Unwittingly
Entertained Them.

Audacious depredations Of burglars
in various parts of New York lately
indicate that a class of criminals has
developed whose members take pleas
ure in wanton mischief, somewhat re-
potely after the manner Of Claude Du-
val and other gallant highwaymen
who compelled their fair victims to
dance on the green with them after
being robbed. One residence recently
looted revealed a deliberate destruc-
ton OF carpets, furniture, glassware
ard pictures by the burglars.
How far impudence will go was ex-
emplified In the recent robbery of the
house Of Albert Samstag at White
Plains. A note left after wholesale
destruction of bric-a-brac, clothing and
furniture said that the same gang had
robbed the group Of New York resi-
dences a week or so before. For two
or three days the burglars had feasted
all through the house.
Then there was the case of the West
Philadelphia merchant. His family
went to Atlantic City at the beginning
of the summer, with the exception Of
his only son, young college chap
home on a vacation. The merchant
was an early riser and always took his
breakfast downtown when the family
were away. The son always slept
late.
One day the son started for a sum-
mer camp down the Delaware, leaving
his father a note on the dining room
table. That afternoon burglars entered
the house. and found the note. They
knew the fathers habits, and proceed.

capped, but they were too audacious
They retired to the womens rooms
until the old man went to sleep. Then
they went on with their looting, max.

Once during the early morning one u
them stumbled. The old merchant
awoke and supposed it was his son.
THAT you, Fred?" he called.
"Ye-e-e-s," yawned voice back, and
the merchant turned over and went to
sleep again.
The burglars winnowed out every
thing they wanted and we're all asleep
in the women's rooms when the old
man went downtown at 7 a. m. Then
they caroused all that day, destroyed
things, broke bottles of wine they
could not consume and left before the
merchants return in the evening.

Both are Satisfied.

Each side expresses satisfaction with
the progress of the war in France. Ber-
lin says that the attacks of the Allies
have been repulsed, and that their
own attack is making Roadway; while
in London and in Paris it is felt that
so long as the Allies can hold the line
of the canal from Newport to Ypres
their position is strong one.
In France, from the northwest to
the southeast, there have been engage

RUSS|A'S AIR CRAFT
Country Said to Have Many for
Military Operations.
Assertion Made That She Was Really
the First Nation to Take It Up
Many Societies In the
Great Empire.

According to an article by an aero
nautic expert in the London Morning
Post Russia has all along taken a
much more lively interest In the en-
pioyment Of air craft in assisting in
military operations than she has been
given credit for The subject has par
ticularly interested her since the
Crimean days. In 1892 an aluminium
airshlp was built in Russia to the de-
signs of Schwarz, an Austrian, whose
idea for a rigid frame dlrigible was
the basis Of the Zeppelin airship OF
today, this inventors patents having
been acquired by Count Won Zeppelin
before he began building.
There are a number of aerial So
cieties in Russia, headed by the I'm
perial Aero club, which has branches
at Petrograd, Odessa, Rostow and
Don. Three years ago there was an
equipment of hundred military aero
planes. OF course, all those have
long passed out of date, but in the in
terval fresh supplies have been pur-
chased in much larger quantities,
the outbreak of war there were sew
eral hundred military up-to-date aero
planes in the Russian equipment.
What is even more important is the
fact that during the last eighteen
months 1t has been a condition of the
placing OF orders that the bulk of the
machines must be produced in Russia
under license. Now that Russia Is en-
gagged in war 1t means that she has
today ample facilities for replacing
losses sustained in action, and even
for supplementing her aeroplane
equipment as fast as she can train
pilots.
Her handicap is in connection with
motors for air craft, but France is
easily able to produce sufficient aero
engines for her own use and Russlas,
apart altogether from the considera-
ton that the British motor Industry
is able today to manufacture many
times the number OF motors required
for her own service. Therefore so long
as means Of communication remain
open between England and Russia
there need be no handicap In her
equipment on this account. Russia
has six military and naval aero
dromes, including the one for hydro
aeroplanes at Golodla island, near
Petrograd, and exclusive Of the naval
station established at Libau. More.
over, apart from the mere possession
'ot machines various Russian in
ventors have produced valuable and
exclusively auxiliary instruments Of
offense for service with aeroplanes, of
which more will undoubtedly be
heard as the campaign develops.
Russia does not possess a great
number of airships, but she has sun
dry examples Of the German frame
less Parseval type; of the French
Clement-Bayard and Zodiac frameless
types, and of the French Lebaudy
semi-rigid sort. Native ideas have
been exploited in the frameless Forz-
mann and the Jastreb and Goloubj
craft, which, however, have no nota-
BILE achievement in their record to
date.

of 100000 additional troops for the
purpose of war.
Much interest is shown in the flnan-
cling of the war. 1t is understood that
the government intends to issue war
loan of billion dollars or more, prob
ably at per cent and redeemable
within ten years. 1t is estimated that
Great Britain is spending So million
dollars weekly on the war and, in ad-
dition to the war loan, the govern
ment may propose to raise further
20 million dollars by increasing the
income tax to half crown on the
pound.
