 The piling consumed was located on the government right-of.way on the bare ground and removed as far as possible from the standing timber. Water barrels had been taken from Anchorage and placed at convenient spots near the huge mass of piles and a watchman employed for. the purpose of preventing the start of fires. These precautions, which have proved ample protection' were as naught before the advance of the fan-shaped sheet of consuming flames.

Major Jones Says
No Need of Martial
Law in Butte Now

Conditions at the end Of his first day in charge OF the
strike situation we're satisfactory, Major A. M Jones
said this morning. In commenting telegraphed re-
mort from Helena that the governor would declare
tal law the commanding officer of the United States
troops engaged in preventing G. NJ gunmen starting
trouble here issued the following statements Ihere is
no occasion for marital law Troops will only be used
when necessary to maintain law and order"
Although three Butte unions met yesterday alter
noon and last evening to decide upon their attitude to-
ward the strikH no vote was taken and the situation
still remains the same it the day following the
vakout when the miners Of Butte decided to fight for
democracy.
Major Jones has been instrumental in starting sew
e1al movements which will probably bring about some
basis for settlement.
There will be no attempt to operate street cars today
and the cars will remain in the barn until the strike IS
settled.

HAPPINESS.

Happiness is one of the most Elusive
things in the world. Every one wishes to be
happy and all Of US, in one way and an
other, are in constant pursuit of happiness.
To many of us happiness is like a will-o'-
the-wisp, ever just beyond US, reckoning
and tempting US to pursue, but never grasp
ed. Some of us have moments of happiness,
as lovely and satisfying as a summer day
after a rain, but few of US, WOO her as ar
IDENTITY as we may, are able to persuade hap
piness to make her abiding place with US.
Much has been written about happiness and
the way to attain it. Many have tried to buy
it with money and have found it unpur-
chasable. Happiness, however, is not some
thing to be put on, like a garment, but
comes from within. 1t is a state of mind, or
Of the heart rather than a thing of cir
cumstance. 1t is not to be learned in books,
nor can it be taught to us by the wisest men.
1t is to be attained only by original discOv-
cry, in the school of experience, or in the
school of doing. Many recipes for happi-
ness have been given to US, as varied as the
minds of men are different.
No one can be selfish and truly be hap
ply. Doubtless selfish people derive certain
enjoyment or satisfaction from their selfish
ness, but they know not the meaning of
happiness. We see many people about US
complacent in their selishness, with no
thought beyond the qualification of their
own desires, and we wonder of what ma
terial they are made; we question whether
there is warmth in the blood that flows
through their hearts. How different they
are from those who have realized happiness
in self-forgetfulness. How beautiful the
countenance of one who has attained happi-
ness in bringing happiness into the lives of
others. What kindly light there is in his
eyes, what divine effulgence Eliminates his
face, what warmth and love there is in his
speech, how eloquent the grasp of his hand.
To him has come the peace and joy that
passeth understanding. Let us go and do
likewise

Sunday schools 1t may interest some of
those who now are engaged in the work to
