NOT DEPRESSED BY
THE LICENSE VOTE
Billy Sunday Declares He HAS Not
Begun to Fight Yet Sure of
Ultimate Victory.

BOSTON, Dec 20.-Billy Sunday col
lapsed from fatigue after his afternoon
no-Hcense rally yesterday, but re-
covered. He had this to say of the Ii
cense vote: cit is only delaying the
execution a little longer. They know
the roof is getting ready to fall in. The
thing which amazes me is that the
American people have endured the
curse as long as they have. It won t
be many moons till the whiskey trust
is called for sentence and that the
sentence will be: 'Of the earth with
their carcass.
At his meeting last night Billy faced
the election returns wreathed in smiles
and passed sentence on the liquor traf

MALPRACTICE CHARGED.
George w. Bolton Of West Burke Be
ing Tried at st. Johnsbury

ST. JOHNSBURY, Dec. 90. - The
case of state against George w. Bolton
of West Burke was taken up Monday
in Caledonia county court. Malpractice
is charged, the patient having been
Miss Annie Gunderson, Is years old.
Bolton is defended BY Alexander Du-
nett, and States Attorney NJ. A. Nor
ton of Lyndonville is assisted in the
prosecution by Attorney James +.
Campbell of this town 1t is expected
that the trial will occupy several days.
George W. Bolton has been resi-
dent of West Burke between Is and 20
years, and has done little gardening
when not praeticing medicine as the
opportunity offered. 1t is said that he
has some knowledge of medicine, but
as far as is known has no diploma in
any state, and has never passed the
Vermont state board examination.
Al few years ago d law was passed in
the state requiring all the doctors who
were not legally registered in this state
to pass examination before the state
board At that time it was said that
Bolton was practieing to some extent
but when the law was enforced never
registered, but continued practicing as
quietly as possible with such eases al

THREE MORE MENTIONED"
Judges Peck, Mower or Moulton for
Superior Judge.

1t is futile to talk about candidates
for a possible vacancy in the superior
court, says a prominent local attorney.
The sentiment III several cities of the
state is in favor of having as small q
supreme court as possible, SO that the
question of advancing superior judge
to the highest court is likely to be out
of order. The supreme court may not
even be kept up to its prescribed num-
Der of two years ago. On the other
hand the number Of supreme judges
may be increased.
Several different schemes have been
suggested, say lawyers here, but they
| are all in the direction of reducing
| and not increasing the number of judges
municipal, superior or supreme.
If the legislature should decide to
| keep up the number of the supreme
court, however, and advance superior
Judge to the higher court, the vacancy
among the superior judges would be
well filed, say attorneys here, by Judge
| H. S. Peek, Judge f. G. Mower or Judge
s. R. Moulton, all of whose names have
been mentioned for the place. That is
IN case there were a promotion from
the superior judges to the supreme
bench, thus making vacancy-Bur

EIGHT BILLION GOLD
MINED IN Is YEARS
Worlds Production in Quarter of
Century Equal to That of Pre-
ceding 400 Years.

NEW YORK, Dee. 20-According to
a statement issued yesterday by the
foreign trade department of the Ma
tional City bank, the gold and silver
produced in the last quarter of a cen
fury throughout the world equaled the
amount OF those metals mined in the
preceding 400 years.
The gold money of the world has
doubled in the last twenty years, while
silver money has decreased one-half in
the same period. The bank, it was said,
was impelled to issue the statement
because of the exceptionally high price
of silver, of which the United States
was now the world S largest producer,
and the large inflow of gold, of which
this country has imported more than
5000, 900 since the beginning of the
year.
'Thc total world production of gold
from the discovery of America to the
present time was $40, 500,0 5000 in
coming value the statement said.
''The gold money of all countries of the
world for which statistics were avail
able in 1896 aggregated ALA 100000

stated in 1896 at $2,55S, 100000, and in
1916 at $s,5S3 100000, all of the above
statements being made upon the author

mint.

of a century, it was pointed out, as
against another IS 100000, 900 worth il
the preceding 400 years occurred

to 1885 the world s gold output never
reached as much as 100000, 900 an
nnally; in 1896 IT crossed the 5000, 900
600 line; il 1908, s30o,000,000 and il
1906, for the first time, exceeded $500,
100000. 1t advanced steadily until i
reached $470,000,000 in 1915. Silve
production first exceeded 00,000,00t
annually in 1880, and in 1898 exceeded

Reinemer's Wheat Wins
$40 Prize At Livingston

H. R. Reinemer, the Lost creek
pure seed farmer has again won
a prize because of bis raising good
grain.
Last January he entered a
sample of wheat at the Third
Annual Seed Exposition held in
Livingston and as a consequence
won a cash prize of 500 offered
by the Gallatin Valley Milling Co.,
for the best sample of milling
wheat. Mr.. Reinemer's wheat
having the largest percent of mill
ing and baking tests, out of hun
dreds of samples competing for
the prize.
The residents of the Redwater
Valley may well feel proud of the
fact that we have some real pro-
gressive up-to date farmers like
Mr.. Reinemer in our midst, which
helps immensely in advertising
and developing this famous Red
water basin-the cream of eastern
Montana.

Railroad Grading Started

The drag line machine was fired
up Saturday morning and in the
afternoon the first dirt WAS moved
and since then the machine has
been making its way towards the
end of the grade east of Enid.
Up to this time they have not
been able to make much headway
on account of the frost and have
been compelled to resort to loos-
ening the material with dynamite.
II is thought that by the end of
the week the frost will have dis
appeared and much greater pro-
gress will be made. We have
been told that the contractor has
made the statement that he would
have the grade across the lake
completed by the first of May.
A number of cars of construc-
ton material has been received
at Lambert during the past week
and it is stated that as soon as
the grade is finished rails will be
laid into Enid and construction
work between here and Circle
will be rushed.
Parties coming up from Lam
bert yesterday afternoon inform
ed us that about a quarter of a |
mile of the grade had already
been made.-Enid Echo.

Guard Your Fires

Now that spring is here, a good
many of the farmers are naturally
busy burning thistles etc., in their
fields and other places.
This is of course necessary, but
we believe every man should be
very careful and not burn them
on windy days, because once a
fire gets started on a windy day
it's some" job to put it out. and
if it gets beyond control can do a
tremendous lot of damage to the
range as we'll as sometimes loss of
property.
Let every man use a little extra
precaution and thereby avoid such
fires as much as possible.

FEDERAL BUILDING LOCATED
Action Taken by the City Council
Tuesday Evening.

AT special meeting of the common
council Tuesday evening, action was
taken which practically secures the To-
cation of Mineral Points federal build
ing on site on the north side of High
street and adjoining the u. S. Hotel on
the west. The ground includes the va
cant lot and the livery stable. The
council unanimously adopted resolu-
tion purchasing street west of the
proposed federal site; and letters re-
Gently received from Senator Husting,
by Ernest G. Fielder and Robert M.
Crawford, stated that the only cause of
delay in the matter of purchasing the site
was the absence of assurance that
street would be opened which would
give the required amount of space ON
that side of the building.
