LONGS FOR GARDEN CITY
Former Chief Clerk of This
Division of Northern Pa
cific Wants to Return.

The wee hoos mang tn hither'
may have looked good to the lonesome
Scot but there is no comparison be.
tween that and the feeling Joe Byrnes
has for MissOula. Lee Barnes, road
master on the Northern Pacific be-
tween this city and Helena, has re-
turned from a trip to Minneapolis,
where he visited the former chief clerk
Of this division, with doleful tale Of
Byrnes' longing for the Garden city.
.Byrnes is reported as saying that he
never left a place he wanted to get
back to as badly as he wants to re-
turn to Missoula. He said that he
had enjoyed the life of the place so
much during his stay here that, even
though his own and his wife's par
ents live at Minneapolis. he wants to
leave the Flour city and come back
where old Sentinel stands the watch
and the breezes of Hell Gate keep the
air from getting stale.
Byrnes came from st. Paul to take
up the position of chief clerk of this
division, but was later transferred back
to Minneapolis, the Twin City divi-
sion, and was succeeded by the pres
ent chief clerk. II. r. Boden.

PASTOR MAKES PLEA
ASKING REFERENDUM

Washington, Jan. 7.-Monsignor
William T. Russell, pastor of st. Pat
rick's Catholic church here, under the
newly appointed bishop of Charleston
S. c., spoke at mass meeting of citi-
zens here today urging referendum OF
the bill pending in congress for pro-
nibition in the District of Columbia
to residents of the capital.
There is no principle of American
government more elemental, more es-
sential, than that there should be no
legislation pertaining to the individual
without a hearing or representation,
he said.
Referring to prohibition leaders
forces who oppose referendum, Mon
signor Russell added:
II am always afraid Of that class
of people who are better than thou.
I fear the man who convinces him
self that his views are necessarily the
views of Almighty God. / fear saints
in politics. I sometimes feel that
would like very much to be able to
revise the tiffany of saints After all
We saints of heaven intercede for us,
/ would like to insert: From the saints
on earth, o Lord, deliver u.s."
Senator Underwood. author of the
referendum amendment to the prohibi-
ton bill, was another speaker.

ELECTRICAL WORKERS
GIVE BRILLIANT BALL

All of the beauty of electricity will
be brought out by the decorations for
the seventh annual ball of the local
branch of the International Brother
hood of Electrical Workers at the Elite
hall this evening. Literally thousands
Of lights Of all colors are woven into
the borders, streamers and wreaths of
the scheme. while many more are used
in the special designs. Instead of the
glow-worm glimmer Of the old car
bon lights a soft radiance is shed by
the tungsten incandescents.
Across the hall from the orchestra
stand the insignia of the order, I. B..
f. w, 4Os, shines out in colored let
tiers two feet high. Above the en-
trance is an immense United States
flag with an alternater to produce the
waving effect. Opposite this is large
fan operated by a machine to give
the same effect Electrically lighted
shields, stars and the moon are placed
at intervals along the walls.
From the ceiling in the center of
the hall an immense dome shaped drop
covered with vari-colored incandes-
cents supports ball covered with
more lights. From the drop radiate 81
ropes of colored bulbs, with an aver
age of 20 bulbs to each rope. Col
ored streamers of crepe paper COM
plete the design.

MARKETING MEANS
TO BE DISCUSSED
Farm Market Congress at Bozeman Is
to Consider Important
Problems.

That marketing is the most import
ant farm problem today is generally
conceded. Better information regard
ing markets is required. The stand :
ardization of products and n knowl-
edge of what various market grades
and classes mean is demanded. Fa-
miiarity with transportation rates
and proper billing and means of re-
covery of losses is needed.
The Farm Market congress at Boze-
man during Farmers week, January
% to February 3, will provide a pro-
gram for the consideration of such
problems. The question of farm loans
is to be discussed by a speaker who
is well qualified to handle that sub
iect Special attention will be paid
to meat marketing and speakers from
terminal markets as well as producers
are listed on the program. Grain
markets will be discussed from the
viewpoint of grain standards, CO.
operative elevators and the selling
problems.
Produce and perishables will be
considered in their market relation
ships; q meat demonstration will be
made.
The programs have gone to the
printer and will be distributed soon
Reduced rates to Bozeman on rail-
ways are assured. All the instruction
will be free. The various farmers or
CARNATIONS are to be represented.
