MERCANTILE PARTNERSHIP Dis
SOLVED.

The firm of Gildner Bros. e Schom-
burg, who have been conducting a
gents furnishing business at Straw
berry Point for some time past, has
dissolved partnership, as will be seen
by the following articles taken from
! last weeks issue of the Strawberry
Point Press:
1T will be with regret that the
friends of d. L. Schomburg learn that
he has sold out his interest in the
Gildner Bros & Schomburg clothing
store Of this place, and will move
away. Mr.. and Mrs. Schomburg have
been residents of this town for the
past six years and during that time
have been very successful. When Mr..
Schomburg came here he found stock
that was partly run down, and the
business only fair. He leaves with
stock of goods second to none in this
part of Iowa. and business that has
reputation extending for miles in
this vicinity.
Mr.. Schomburg has not decided
Just what he will do, but thinks he
will move to Minneapolis, where he
has a brother who is one of the most
successful business men in that city.
Many business openings have been
opened to him, but for the present, ne
is marking time"
Wherever Mr.. and Mrs. Schom-
burg go, the future holds bright pros
poets for them, and they will be sue
cessful and popular Their friends re-
greet to see them go and wish them
continuance of prosperity.
The new clothier, 2. A. Held, of Ana
mosa, comes well recommended. He
has had training under the Gildner
Bros. in their line of chain stores
and no doubt will keep the clothing
business in Strawberry Point up, to
the high standard set by Mr.. Schom-
burg. Mr.. Held is an agreeable, &C
commodating gentleman, full Of bust
ness and knowledge of the clothing
business. Strawberry Point is FORUM
ate in getting a man of his train
in to take the place of Mr.. Schom-
burg"

The spirit of progress is rampant
In Butte's Chinatown. Not only have
the Chinese adopted American meth
DDS OF doing business, but they are
right up to snuff on the suffrage
question. While some of the older
heads sit around the stuffy stores in
CHINATOWN with their strange stocks
OF oriental merchandise, smoking
their long bamboo pipes and dream
ing OF the China that was, the ma
Jority of Butte Chinese are up and
doing.
Not content with doing business in
the old way they have placed them
selves in the vanguard of their race
IN America by adopting the white
mans methods. They have incorpor-
ated chamber of commerce and an
OIL company, as the records in the
clerk and recorders office will attest.
But the greatest surprise came when
they decided to go $3.50 with their
women folks.
SCATTERING all traditions of their
ancestors, the Butte members of the
Chinese colony have paid a signal
tribute to two men, by naming them
as incorporators and directors of the
Bones Oil corporation. To the occi-
dental the naming of a woman, while
not unusual, is of such infrequent oc-
currence as to occasion comment, and
the action of the sons of the Flowery
Kingdom is considered revolutionary.
Fannie I. Blow and Bessie w. Vow
are the women honored. They head
the list of the incorporators of the
company, holding an equal number
Of shares with Samuel I. Blow and
Hum Vow. They have equal voting
power with the men, forming the
first directorate.
Previous to the filing of the arti-
cles for the oil company, the Chinese
organized chamber of commerce.
The chamber will bring into being a
reading room. and will also provide
quarters where members of the race
can get together to discuss and work
out plans for their mutual better
ment. The chamber will meet in the
joss house, which was rapidly falling
into disuse along with other things
of the old order.
Some of the older heads of the
colony look askance at the innova-
lions of the younger generation The
tranquility is gone from their lives.
The dream of yesterday Is over and
where once peace and silence reign
ed, is now the turmoil that charac-
terizes occidental civilization.

AUTOMOBILE PUTS
STREET CARS OUT
BILLINGS CITY COUNCIL ORDERS
THE RAILS REMOVED
FROM STREETS

Some idea of the automobile
traffic In Billings is gained when it
is learned that the automobiles of
that city have put the street cars
out OF business. The street cars
disappeared from the streets four
years ago, and now the city coun.
Gil has given the officials of the
street car company 10 days time
In which to begin tearing up the :,
rails and putting the pavement in
shape.
Ten years ago, street cars operated
on the storage battery plan, were
put into use by the Billings Traction
company. Five years ago it was
planned to improve the service by
operating the cars from a sub-sta-
ton to have been erected there by the
Montana Power company, but the
war began and the materials needed
were not available.
BY that time automobiles had be-
come so numerous that the street
car patronage had so deteriorated it
was finally decided to permanently
abandon the street cars, but the rails
have remained. The city council has
oSVAA0V SA0S Su0 OAU TAILS are q meu-
ace to the public thoroughfares and
they are to be removed. It is said a
company in Great Falls is to be
given the rails for removing them
and replacing the pavement. Two
motor buses operated
similar to street cars carry passen-
gers to and from the residential sec-
tons. but nearly every resident oper-
ates his own automobile.
Not only have the automobiles
driven the street cars out of business
but the manager of the Billings &
Central Montana railroad, 14-niile
line from Billings to Shepherd, has
stated to the Commercial club that
because of greatly increased automo-
bile traffic in this section his road is
operating now at loss of $1,000 a
month. He said the motor truck is
the main factor of the roads deficit
which now Is $4,000.
