Finally the policeman suggested that

remark, of course, put the dark-haired

were about to phone for the lineman
when the very worst caterwauling of the
whole evening started up on high and
they dashed out to see that the tender
hearted policeman, in their absence, had
climbed to the top and Master Kit had
become so excited, he had promptly bit

The gentleman to whose home the girls
had gone to phone came out and offered
some thick gloves to the hero policeman,
who put them on, mounted the pole and
brought that ridiculous cat down. And

cat forthwith began to chase its tail about

An interesting fact is that despite
the great war that Is absorbing SO

The announcement that Frank A.

New York has resigned his position TO
assist Secretary MeAdoo in floating
the new Liberty Loan means that the
work is to be done on a scale far
more efficient than was observed in
the last flotation, Mr.. Vanderlip is a
big man, a much bigger man than Mr.
McAdoo, we think. He is engaged now
in the most important work of his
long and interesting career. Once he
was a cub reporter on the Chicag go
Tribune. Later he became financial
editor, and when Lyman j. Gage was
made secretary of the treasury under
President Mckinley, Mr.. Vanderlip
became his private secretary. After
that he was an assistant secretary OF
nection with the National City or
Rockefeller bank, of which he has
been president for some years. lie is
a highly trained, broad gagged author

full speaker and writer, a diplomat and
good fellow. We are glad to OBJ
serve that the Wilson administration
is big enough to get the services OF

UNCLE SAM WITH HIS COAT OFF

II we were to multiply by 1000 the
scene of our farewell to the boys who
must go to war; we would have some
thing like moving picture reaching
gulf to Canada. There are that many
concentration points where recruits
are gathered for transportation to six-
teen environments. The nations work
of preparation for war is so vast that
the mind can hardly grasp its mag
nitude. yet in numbers the quota of
troops from each community makes
hardly a dent in our population. With
in few weeks there will be more
than 100000 men under arms and
from this there Is an ever going end
less stream to France. There were
$4,000 Ameican soldiers in French
training camps two months ago. The
number now there is known only to
the government, but we know that it
is already much larger. 49,
Before next summer the United
States will have under arms $500, 900
men which will be quite enough, we
think, to convince the Germans who
get in their way that we are really
serious in this business Of war. Sec
rotary Bakers recent request for APP
preparations OF &277,000. 416.00 offers a
good guess as to the strength of the
army that we will have when the big
American drive begins somewhere in
France.

ENOUGH OF THIS.

Shortly before the movement of the
drafted men to the environments be-
gan the government of the United
States. through the war department,
sent a request to the governors Of the
several states that the saloons be
closed tor three hours before the de-
parture OF the men for their various
stations.
That request was ignored by the
governor of Montana
AS result there were unpleasant
scenes in the streets Of Missoulsa
where our citizens were gathered to
say Godspced to the departing boys.
There was very offensive evidence OF
intoxication. and in one instance a
saloon fight.
with the young men who went away
to fight our battles. If some of them
overstepped the bounds of dcccncy an
excuse may be found in the unusual
character of the occasion.
We hope there will be nothing like
this in the next departure of the
drafted men from Missoula. The most
satisfactory way to prevent 1t Is to
close the drinking places for three
hours before the train starts, ii the
consent of Governor Stewart can be
secured.

MOVING A PYRAMID

One of the strangest and most diff
cult engineering tasks that has been
attempted In long time will be the
removal of a granite pyramid erected
forty years ago at the top of She,'-
man pass in the Rocky mountains.
This pyramid Is to be moved five
miles and set in place again. 1t is
sixty feet high and sixty feet square
at the base. To reach it's new site
the pyramid must be taken down. a
stone at a time and then regretted.
The pyramid is unique among monu-
ments. It stands on one of the most
lofty eminenceS ever chosen for such
a purpose, some 5000 feet above sea
level. and commentaries the names
of Oliver and Cakes AmeS, the men
whose constructive genius made 1t
| possible to carry the first railroad
across the Rocky mountains. Tho
monument is now located at the point
where dis line formerly crossed the
| backbone of the continent. A change
| in the line, carried out to reduce grade
and mileage, left the pyramid five miles
off the right of way. So II has been
decided to move the monument to q
prominent position in the present line
| where all may see this colossal tri-
butte In stone to the two Ameses.
When the rails of the railroad were
first spiked to the ties over Sherman
| pass the work was considered one of
the wonders of the world.
At the same time that the Ames
| monument is being moved to a new
pedestal engineers are driving sec.
| ond tunnel under the mountain at the
top of Sherman pass, p building the
| first double track across the Rockies
tho highest continuous piece of
double track in the world.
These two events, the driving Or the
new tunnel and the relocating Of the
Ames monument. are In the nature Of
celebrations Of the great work Of these
