Governor Issues Statement
\ statement bearing on the coal
strike situation and explaining the pre-
liminarcs preceding the issuance of the
military order was given out at the
Executive Department. This statement
reads:

of Cavalry. the Fifty second Machine
Gun Squadron and Motor Transport
Company 40 Of the l'cnnsylvania .
National Guard into active service
in Southwestern Pennsylvania, Gov,
ernOr Sproul stated today that he
deemed this action necessary in view

State. The Governor let it be known
that, ns stated in his proclamation
issued today he was fully in accord
with President Hnrdins's plans to
provide safe working conditions for

patching of the troops was pre-
cautionary measure to prevent any
danger of organized violence in the

day in consultation with Adjutant
General Beary, General Shannon,
who is acting commander of the
PENNSYLVANIA National Guard; Lynn
G. Adams, superintendent of State
police. and Deputy Attorney Cen
eral Fred Taylor Pusey. A definite
plan for the assignment and location
of troops was decided upon. The

coal operators throughout the west

their intentions Of opening their
mines and making IN attempt to re-
sumo operations. To all of these the
Governor replied thar effective pro-
lection would be given and that
every effort would be made to pro-
tect those who desire to work.

 At that time 60 years or more ago there were postofices at Falls Vil- lage, South Canaan and Huntsville, at the present time one office Falls Village accommodates the whole town of Canaan.
 Now the sensible and practical thing to do is for both towns jointly to ask the Legislature to change the name of the Town of Canaan to Falls Village, and to erase the North from the Town of North Canaan, this will injure no one and do away with all this auto and tax mix up with the state and these towns. Falls Village is an old and well known name, and the present generation residents of the old town am sure would gladly accept the change.

Truth and Tombstones

When through the quiet fields I go where side by side sleep high and low, seldom see an epitaph which tells the truth or even half. If we could sift the wheat from chaf, if pious lies no more were read but only bitter truth instead, with little left to soothe and please some stones would tell us facts like these: ''Poor Mary Jones lies in this tomb, she pushed too far heavy broom. Her husband grieves, his sorrow deeper because he bought no carpet sweep CT" "In meBsDry of Hetty Burke who died of general overwork. Her husband finds it much more bother to save one wife than get another. He'll not be long a widowed weeper, hired help is dear but wives are cheaper" "Here Susan Smith has rest at last, too many children came too fast" Here lies the wife of Hapgood Hicks who did the weekly wash for six She's glad to rest beneath these sods, she carried wa ter seven rods" Life's burdens should be justly shared. Some hus- bands could be better shared than wives for whom these stones were squared. Dry-eyed we'd plant those selfish coots and leave them there till Gabriel toots.

MT. Editor:

MT. Editor:
 Referring to the correspondence and editorials in your paper relative to the mix up of automobile reports to the commissioner from the Towns of Canaan and North Canaan, this is one of the many annoyances that have occurred in the reports to and from the State ever since the Old Town of Canaan was divided some 60 years or more ago. At the time of the Division there were two school societies. in existence under the names of North Canaan and South Canaan. The citizens in the North petitioned the Legislature to be set off and as I remember organ ized as a new town under the name of Canaan.
 The division as finally made fol- lowed the Society line thro the swamp and oyer Canaan mountain to the Norfolk line, the south line of the Garvin farm forming the bound ary between the two towns.

might profit in a small way from the
money spent.
Thirty years ago, it seems to me
Justice worked its way to the surface
better than it does now. There was
not so much law, but the old rough
shod method, where a man went out
and hunted his own redress for an
injury seemed to balance things very
we'll. The evil-doer was much more
afraid of personal redress than he is
now of the courts, which have SEEM
ed to me to be often only a harbor
for crooks.
Fred Schuer was one of the old
timers who trekked his way into the
west when there were no railroads.
He ran a general store on East Park
street. Park street was only a road
SS years ago, and the trail from
everywhere into Butte.
Fred had a couple of old timers
with whom he foregathered at times,
a shoemaker named Cabbage and an
other whose's name I have forgot
ten. 1t was their custom to sit in
the cobbler's shop and argue the af-
fairs of the day, political and other
wise. They were of very limited
vocabulary, and their talk was ex-
tremely interesting on that account.

1 shall forget my first night
in it. The moon let in enough light
so I could barely see, and sometime
after midnight l awoke to see the
ceiling swoop down and go back
again. All of the ghosts and hobgob-
Inns of romance never gave me such
a thrill, and it was some time before

1 W got used to that house,
and was glad when Brown came back.
Jim was for many years a force
in Butte politics and embarked in a
number of newspapers, starting the
Basin Progress" in Basin, when that
town was as live as any mining town
anywhere.
1t was my misfortune to go to
Basin, and help start the Progress.
Jim had bought a big cylinder press,
and the cylinder, shipped on an open
freight car, had become full of snow
and ice that did not melt until weeks
after it was running.
1t vas an exciting day when it was
announced that the first issue of the
paper was to be printed. Twenty or
more miners lined up for the privi-
of turning the press and an edi-
ton of almost 1000 was turned out.

lars in the shape of mills and mining
equipment are crumbling away and
going to the sea as the waters of the
Boulder river eat into them, and the
elements warp and rot the steel and
timbers.
1t is said that miners, along with
good wages, carried away in their
boots at the end of each shift as
much as 500 per boot while the
Hope mine was good. This was known
as High lacking"
Lately some new work is being
done at Basin, and it is not improba-
BILE that the town may some time rise
again.
Jim Brown was contemporaneous
with Penrose, a newspaper man who
said things for which he was murder
ed one dark night. Jim could say
the same things in a different way
and made friends doing it.
1t is peculiar what deep seated en-
mites arise from printed words, in
papers of limited circulation. 1t is
possible that Penrose and the people
who compassed his death were about
the only ones who ever knew or cared
what the paper contained. 1 don't
remember having ever seen the paper
that Penrose published.

as we'll as notorious characters
Among the celebrated characters
with whom he was personally &C
quainted was Chief Joseph of the
Nez Perces. While returning from q
business trip to British Columbia in
1854 Mr.. Webb fell in with Joseph's
band and travelled with the Indians
for three days. He believes that
Chief Joseph was an unusually good
Indian.
Mr.. Webb sold out his interests in
Montana in the spring of 1882 and
returned to Illinois. After spending
a year in the middle west and in the
New England states he decided that
he could not live in the east. In the
summer of 1888 he came west again,
travelled throughout the Inland En-
pire and finally selected Cheney for
his future home.
The period if high prices through
which the country has been passing
since the war has not been a new ex-
perience for Mr.. Webb. Nor is he UNI
acquainted with times when wages
were very low. Back in 1857, when
he came west to Illinois to do his first
teaching, he received $28 a month,
out of which he paid board. When he
quit teaching, three years later, he
was receiving $40 a month.
In the early days in Montana, when
distances were long and means of
transportation inadequate, Mr.. Webb
has known flour to sell for 5000 a
barrel; bacon for rs cents a pound;
matches for 81 a box, and potatoes
for SIS cents a pound. The highest
price he ever paid for tobacco was SIS

too" Mr.. Webb says.
The westward March.
Despite his advanced age Mr.. Webb
has a remarkable memory for men
and dates. Letting his mind run back
over a lapse of more than a half
century, he recalls with ease his
journey up the Platte river in his
westward march to the gold fields of
Colorado; his journey northward
across the Snake river to the rich
diggings at Alder gulch; the efforts
of the Vigilance committee in Mon
tana to save the territory from the
despotism of crime; his coming to
Washington territory when Spokane
was not even a village and Cheney
was almost a metropolis. He saw the
west in its beginning, and he has
watched it develop from mining
camps and grazing ranches into one
of the richest sections of the United
States.
Four times within his memory the
United States has gone to a He
watched the country fall apart into
sections, these sections fight a bloody
civil war, and then come together
into a "more perfect union" He saw
the lawlessness of western mining

ably safe but life cheap. He has
