Proposes Staying with Bishop.
1--WE travelled on that afternoon
and got to a place / think must have
been American Fork, which was quite
a settlement. Just before that, I said,
Where are we to stop tonight, Jim?'
He replied, We can go down to this
settlement and stop with the bishop
I protested, telling him it was dan
gerous to stop with the bishop; as we
were passing ourselves off as Nor
mons, he would be sure to put us
through an examination, and we
would be shown to be imposters and
like as not we would be killed, as the
Mormons were anything but friendly
/, to the Gentiles. But Jim said, That's
all right, we can stand an examina-
ton; and then the bishops live better
than anyone else.' Finally we found
the bishops house, halloaed, and the
bishop himself zane out. The first
question he asked, was, Were we
members of the church?' and of
course we told him we were. We
went into the house. The family had
just finished eating their supper.
There were four women in there, his
four wives, I suppose, and about a
h~alf-dozen children. Now, the Nor.
mons at every meal ask a blessing and
they have a stereotyped formula they
use at all times, aid generally vino

to give us something to eat, and they
put or the table some potatoes and 6
lot of meat, the first we had seen fol
a long time. Jim, drawing down hi.

typed Mormon blessing, to which w,
both said Amen and then fell to.

pie live there in happiness and pros
perity. And what is true of Sheri-
dan county is true of every county of
the prairie country which stretches
east across far reaches to the Dako-
ia line. Everywhere there is growth
and development. 1t takes money to
finance the development of a new
country; and lots of it. And there is
where Mr.. ~Stephenson's value is APP
parent. The bank Of which he is the
head is closely affiliated with the Da-
" banks of Butte and Anaconda.
Strongly interested in 1t are such men
and concerns as John d. Ryan, the
Daily estate, the Morony and Hill es-
tates, all interests that represent
many millions of dollars. These CO.
lossal fortunes were made in part
through the development of Montana
resources, and when the head of this
bank needs money for the develop
ment and expansion of Montana 1t is
reasonable to assume that it will not
be hard to find.
Money for Development.
In all this development and expan-
sion, which will go forward with add
ed impetus and vigor during the next
few years a tremendous amount of
money, in the aggregate, will have to
be advanced. The smaller banker in
the country town can take care of
only a fraction of the loans that will
be necessary to speed up this de-
sirable movement. He will have to
seek outside help, and men situated
as Sam Stephenson is, in touch with
Montana-made millions, will be in a
position to come to the relief OF the
smaller banker, and help to finance a
hundred communities, if necessary
For this reason he will loom large in
this scheme of expansion, the start OF
which has only just been made. And
because of loans made at the right
: time and infant industries financed
when money is most needed, 1t Is
probable that many will have occa'

and Peace Make
a Striking Difference
Here and in Alberta

The difference between peace
and war is strikingly illustrated
in events that are about to occur
in Montana, and i'm Alberta, the
Canadian province which neigh
bOrs Montana on the north.
Word has gone forth that
Great Britain needs railroad
steel, which cannot be had as
quickly from the manufacturers
as the urgent need demands.
These rails are wanted for rail-
way construction on emergency
lines to be built back of the em-
battled front in France. So 10y
al Alberta is going to tear up
1000 miles of railroad track,
much of it from the lines that
run west of Edmonton to the
coast, and ship the rails to the
mother country. The 1000
miles of railroad which is to be
sacrificed for this purpose will
fill so ships, and a great country
in western Alberta will be left
without railroad transportation.
On the other hand, Montana,
at peace, is preparing to con-
struct, through the various rail-
roads operating in the state, over
1000 miles of new railroad
branch lines, feeders for the
transcontinentals, with probably
as much more mileage in pros
pect.
The rapid development of the
state has made the construction
of these new lines and branches
imperative.

is the formation of a local company
for the manufacture of brick and tile.
During the present year, the men
back OF the proposition have sent
samples of various clays found in
the vicinity of Baker, to eastern
manufactures to be made up into fin
shed products, and these are now be-
ing displayed at their office. The
company will start the erection of a
large plant as soon as spring opens
up, and, of course, will use natural
gas for heat and power.

Gently in the we'll that is being drilled
in the Crazy Woman's pocket coun-
try, near Lavina, and as has been
encountered in numerous drillings
south of Billings.
Worlds Greatest Gas Field.
Seventy miles south of Billings
but on the Wyoming side, is probably
one of the greatest deposits of natur-
al gas in the world. Eight wells
have been drilled that produce ap-
proximately 25O,000,0 900 cubic feet of
gas every "A hours. The giant we'll
of the group will produce in excess
of 0 100000 cubic feet per day.
The pressure of the gas of this well
was SO great that it blew the der
rick to pieces, blew two ordinary steeA
gate valves off the casing at the
wells mouth, and it was necessary
to have an especially heavy gate
valve manufactured, and anchor the
the top of the casing with about Is
tons of cement before the flow could
be checked and finally stopped. The
roar OF the escaping gas could be
heard for 20 miles, and it is estim-
ated that 1000, 600, 900 cubic feet of
gas blew off every ten days for three
months before the we'll could be fin
ally capped.
Billings Will Have Gas.
1t is entirely feasible and practical
10 pipe this gas into Billings, the
largest center near it. Engineers
nave passed upon the undertaking

deavor. They brought three New

customer in Johnny Nelson, of this
city, in the final bout last night at the
Olympia Athletic Club. Although Mel
son hit the mat on two occasions, once

stanza, this did not appear to affect
Nelson, who came back strong and
showed lots of pep"
The New Yorker used left jab to
the face and then alternated with
right uppercut to the jaw which ap-
peared to connect from every angle.
Time and again the Gothamtte tried
to whip over his slumbering punch,
but each time that he got set Nelson
was generally protecting his weakest
spot, with the result that Leonard was
held at bay.
Nelson stung Leonard In the sec
ond, third and fifth rounds with right
punches to the under-works which
carried lots of beef behind them, and
they made Leonard cover up at times,
especially when Nelson was forcing
the milling. Nelson fought the knock
out artist in every second OF the six
rounds, never once breaking ground
and always coming in for more with
the result that the New Yorker had to
keep up a solid defense besides wait
ing for an opening which never
materialized.
