type, the proofs read and corrected
and the matter made up before the
celebration.
There were less than t~Wenty-four
hours remaining for me to fit my
self to take the address in short
hand. l got note books and learned
to write a half dozen or more char
acters, and when the judge arose to
deliver his address 1 sat at a table
just back of him and made pot hooks
as fast as he spoke. The note books
were as Ineligible as the letters the
three-year-old Riddles write, but that
was another secret. AS soon as he
had finished, I told the judge that
the notes would be transcribed at
once, give the copy to the printers
and send him the proofs. These
were sent and came back with his

There was a man in the audience
who came to me after the speaking
to ask what system 1 wrote. When
told, he said he regretted that he had
not come prepared to take the speech
and further informed me that he
wrote the same system. l lost that
chap pronto, and was very careful to
see that he did not get an opportun-

The FUR MARKET

More than $50 buyers represent
ing the strongest fur interests of the
world entered actively into the bid
ding at the opening of the recent
spring auction sale of furs in st.
Louis and continued buying not only
late into the evenings of the two days
set aside for the sales but remained
over al extra day to get an oppor-
tunity to bid for every type of fur
listed.
AS usual the keenest interest was
shown in the bidding for the Alaska
sealskin offering of the United States
government. The large offering of
1918 dressed, dyed, machined and
finished skins brought a total of
$4,000 in less than three hours
selling. The ever increasing demand
for Alaska sealskins is a tribute to
the efficiency Of the government in
the management of its extensive fur
properties on the far-off Pribilof
Islands. Incompatible in beauty and
ease of handling, these skins natural
ly command the favor not only of
the manufacturer and designer, but
of the discriminating wearer of furs
as we'll.
P. B. Fouke, head of the Fouke
Fur company, st. Louis, personally
auctioned the offerings of the United
States government. Henry O'Malley,
commissioner Of fisheries, and Ste
phen B. Davis, solicitor for the de-
partment of commerce, were present
at the sale in the interests of the
government.
Following the sale of government
furs, the Fur Merchants Sales COM
pany took the auction stand and pro-
ceeded with the sale of furs from all
over the world. The skins of musk

if it fails.
Don't hide your freckles under a

Ihere were two newspapers pub
llshed in Bozeman when the North
ern Pacific railroad was under con
struction in Montana, and the Gala
TIN valley metropolis was the end OF
the track for some time. Order was
preserved as a whole, and yet the
town was wide open. Railroad
workers, soldiers from Fort Ellis and
soldiers of fortune from everywhere
and residents of the valley were
dairy and nightly visitors. They
were good spenders when they had
the price, and they got action on
their money at the gambling tables
and In other ways. Captain John
Smith came from somewhere and
erected the largest building of its
kind in the city, for the sale of Ii
quld groceries and for gambling.
The rooms were lavishly furnished,
thousands of dollars having been
spent for fixtures and among these
was a large statue of Mercury, which
stood at the end of the bar over a
large safe.
AS editor of the Avant Courier at
the time, a part of my duties con-
sisted of gathering local news. While
on this quest one evening, 1 went
into Smiths place and stopped to
talk to an acquaintance. We were
standing close to the statue of the
son of Jupiter and Maia, when two
shots rang out. I saw at a glance
the men who were doing the shoot
ing, and this was obtained as l vault
ed the railing and took refuge back
OF the safe, where two other men had
preceded me. AS I recall there were
two more shots fired, and then fol-
lowed the quiet which always comes,
and we who we're in hiding ventured !

were named Hoppe and Walters.
Patsy Walters lay upon the floor.
A cursory examination showed that
he had been shot in the abdomen.

had hit the tripper guard on Wal
gun and rendered it useless.
The latter shot but once, and it SEEM

shot that put Walters down. He was
to his Dol nearby and Doc
tor Foster called. The doctor was
my next door neighbor, and when he
made a second visit to the wounded
man he asked me to accompany him.
Walters was unconscious and beyond
aid, according to the physi
clan. He was bleeding internally,
death was imminent. The end

When the date of the driving of
the golden spike was announced, the
Bozeman people decided to celebrate
the completion of the railroad in a
fitting manner. Judge H. N. Ma
guire, who was the publisher of the
first newspaper in BoZeman = The
Pick and Plow-was to be orator of
the day. He was a fluent, graceful
writer and a speaker of ability. He
always wrote out his addresses and
memorized them. He was possessed
of a wonderfully retentive memory
and his speech was a reproduction
of the written address to a word.
I wanted this address for publica-
ton, but when I asked for the copy
the judge said that he could not let
me have it. He had but one copy
and he had already refused to let

This was disappointing. I wanted

devise a possible way Of getting the
copy of the address and at the same

When the coming of the notables
to witness the driving of the golden
spike was announced, the special
trains carrying the visitors from the
east were scheduled to arrive in
Bozeman at 900 a. M, and prepara-
lions were made to receive them and
entertain them during their stay.
The two weekly papers, the Courier
and the Chronicle, arranged for the
full Associated Press dispatches for
the day, the headings were changed
from weekly to daily, and large edi-
lions printed. We had all the latest
world happenings in type for our
visitors and this called forth many
favorable comments regarding the
enterprise of the publishers.
The trains were to make a stop of
three hours, and a display of Gala
tin valley products was made at the
depot. With the other exhibits was
that of Spieth & Krug, brewers, and
a number of cases of their bottled
goods were exhibited. Carter Harri-
son, mayor of Chicago, was among
those present. AS he walked along
the platform he saw the Spieth &
Krug section, and said: "Ahi Sam
pies! Well, we'll; we'll see how they
TASTE" and a bottle went into each
of his coat pockets, two others were
tucked under his arms and two adj
ditional ones carried in his hands.
There were conveyances in waiting
to carry the visitors through the city,
and many availed themselves of the
opportunity to view the business and
residence sections. General Grant
was among these.

CITY FINANCE
BILL AMENDED
Committee Substitute is De-
cided Upon and Passed on
Second Reading in House

AssembIynan Thomas L. Hanson,
of this city, succeeded in having
passed on second reading a COM
mittee substitute for assembly bill
No. 335 in an effort to afford relief
to the City of Perth Amboy in rails
ing funds for the improvements in
connection with the prop osed elm
ination of railroad crossings at
grade.
The committee substitute or as
sembly No. SS5, if passed, will allow
Perth Amboy a deduction Of two per
cent. of the assessed valuations of
taxable real property, so that the ex-
penditures for grade crossings if
made will not - ,ect the debt limit
as to the making of other improve
mSnts. 1t is likely and it IS expected
by Assemblyman Hanson that this
bill will, be passed by the assemly
next week and then sent 20 the sen-
ate where Senator Morgan F. Larson
will have charge of the measure.
The committee substitute is a sup
plement to the Pierson Revision of
the Bond Act, which revision is
known as senate bill No. 27. The
present plan is to have the COM
mittee substitute which is the Perth
Amboy bill become a law within a
few days after the Pierson Revision
becomes a law.
Following is the working OF COM
mittee substitute for Assembly Bill
No 335:

Even if City Does Not Appeal
Mullen Will Take Such
Action
ALDERMEN GET RULE
Decision of Court Leads to
Argument on Pay of Horns
by-Defer Move
ALDERMEN GET RULE

The aldermen last night received
from Former City Attorney Leo
Goldberger a copy of the supreme
court order in the case of Joseph E.
Hornsby VS.. the City OF Perth Am
boy and James A. Mullen, in which
the action of the aldermen in nam
ing Mullen as city collector to sue
ceed Hornsby, was set aside. The
court order was ordered placed on
file and no mention made of the pos
sibility of an appeal.
Today, however, it has been in
iicated that even if the city does
not appeal the decision of Supreme
Court Justice Bergen. Mullen will
endeavor TO have The ruling set aside
by carrying the matter to the higher
court.
Owing to City Attorney David T.
Wilentz being at Trenton last night,
he was unable to attend the meeting
Of the aldermen here, and when the
reports of judiciary committee were
received recommending that Horns
by be paid and that his report for
January be received, they were not
acted upon, but laid over until an
adjourned meeting Friday night.
alderman A. &. Waters explained
that he wished to be guided by the
city attorneys opinion before ac-
cepting Hornsby's report, or voting
in favor of his being paid. Alder
man Benjamin A. Riedy pointed out
that the city treasurer had accepted
the money from the collector and
thus recognized him, but Alderman
Riedy did not insist upon immediate
action on the Hornsby report or
check.
Attorney Goldberger told the al
dermen he did not intend to have
the paying of his client, Hornsby,
and threatened to continue
court action against the city if
Hornsby's pay is held up further.
Further court controversy, he point
ed out. will mean additional cost to
<ho city.
City Attorney Wilentz maintains
that Judge Bergen, in his opinion,
does not pass upon any of the points
raised by him for the defendants,
except to say that the court having
cnce decided the POINT in question
until reversed by an appellate court,
is bound by the former decision.
When asked this morning what dis
position would be made in the mat
ter, City Attorney Wilentz stated
that this phase was entirely up to
the Board of Aldermen. Whether
the city appeals or not, it is under
stood Mullin will endeavor TO have
the ruling set aside.
According to the supreme court
ruling just made, Attorney Wilentz
points out. even though a person re-
signs, dies or is discharged before
his term is completed, the successor
may be appointed Cor the full term,
the fact that his
predecessor had not completed his
entire term.

active in the Atlantic Deeper Water
ways Association took charge of the
argument for the measure. The
principal speaker was former Con-
gressman J. Hampton Moore, now
mayor of Philadelphia. He is presi-
dent of the waterways organization.
Mayor Moore Speaks
Mayor Moore reviewed in detail
the history of the activities in con-
nection with the establishment of an
inland water route from Maine to
Florida. He said that New Jersey
is now a barrier to the completion
of that great system.
The Philadelphia executive fore
IDLY argued that with the establish
ment of the New Jersey canal the
state would more than be reimburs-
ed for the expense incurred in its
construction by the location of IN
dustrial plants along its course.
Mayor Moore took occasion to
make it plain that politics play no
part in his activity in the water
way establishment. He said that he,
together with Mayor Donnelly, have
been working for years on the pro-
ject without regard for political ad-
vancement or gain. Mayor Moore is
a Republican while the Trenton ex-
ecutive is a Democrat.
Business and Capital
Emphasis was also laid by the
speaker on the business and capital
that would be attracted. to New Jer-
sey with canal completed. He said
that, whether or not this particular
plan for revenue is adopted, the state
should not be dilatory in getting ac-
tion. 1t was estimated that the to-
tai cost of the canal will be no more
than $20.000.000.
Congressman John e. Small of
North Carolina, another speaker. in
substance reiterated the remarks Of
Mayor Moore. He said that with
the exception of that portion which
will cross New Jersey, the chain
of inland waterways is practically
completed. He characterized New
Jersey as the one weak link.
He pointed out that another inn
