In Vienna the
Old Order Passes

Vienna.-The recalling of things as
they used to be does not come amiss
in Vienna, for in the old days there
were many things so pleasant in this
city that their recollection and discus
sion today serves often to Tighten the
gloom of a dull winter.
Take, for instance the Vienna haus-
meister, the janitor Of American cities,
but a dignified, glorifed, useful and
even courteous janitor. 1t was his
custom to open the doors Of apartment
houses after ten o'clock at night for the
belated, and to exact fee Of twenty
heller, four cents, for the service.
No one minded it; foreigners found
it mediaeval and amusing. For two
centuries or more the fee had been
twenty heller, and its collection
through year was sometimes enough
to send the janitor's children to school
Now the hausmeisters and the ten.
ants are in a bitter feud. The courts
have permitted an increase in this fee
in a ruling, the loose wording Of which
has been seized upon by the haus-
meisters as authorization for a charge
the tenants call utterly unreasonable
They are refusing to pay it, and III
retaliation the hausmeisters, on thf
inside Of the doors, are refusing Il
let them in to their own apartments
if the tenant reaches the threshold o.
his house one minute after ten o'clock
Some tenants are so determined &c
"put an end to the outrage" that, wher
refused admission, they are turning tt
the nearest police station and demand
ing shelter for the night. Thus it was
recently reported in the newspapers
that in one district of the city alont
no fewer than II persons spent the
night in the lookup in preference tc
meeting the exactions Of the grasping
hausmeister.
Another incident of today recall'
the time when Hofrat. or Court Coun-
selor, was a title that carried with it
in Vienna something worth while
Many woman was happy, in the old
days when she could order calling cards
bearing the inscription Frau HofraJ
A few days ago the senate Of the
University Of Vienna notified the gov
eminent that professors would hence
forth decline the title, and that those
now possessed Of it had decided to
drop it. Since the fall Of the mon
archy it has been handed out so freely
to men in all walks Of life that it has
lost all the distinction it ever enjoyed.

MONTANA HAS 64,732
MILES OF HIGHWAY

There are 422, SO4 miles of sur
faced roads in the United States,
according to the United States bu-
reau of public roads. At the close
of the year 1921 the surfaced mile
age was approximately 3S7, 900
miles, and $4,000 miles were con-
structed in 1922, the bureaus fig
ures show. Surfaced roads, in
cludes sand-clay, gravel, macadam
and paved roads outside of city
limits.
Out of total of 81, 1872 miles of
roads in Montana, 1901 miles are
surfaced. At the end of 1921, a
total of 1,772 miles had been sur
faced and 129 miles of surfaced
roads were completed in 1922.
Montana has greater mileage of
surfaced roads than North and
South Dakota and Wyoming put to-
gether, but less than two-thirds the
surfaced road mileage of Idaho.
1t was stated at the bureau that
the 1928 construction will not fall
short of the previous years record
and that by the end of the present
year the surfaced mileage will be
somewhere near 100000 miles. =
This figure, it is believed, makes
due allowance that portion of the
1922-23 construction consists of
the re-surfacing of roads surfaced
during 1922.

Sells Fraudulent Seals

If the Montana tuberculosis asso-
citation can make money selling
Christmas seals, why can't I? This
is what a little girl, described as be-
ing 10 or II years old, thought, and
she followed her "hunch" in Great
Falls recently.
She possesses a business sense be-
yond her years and allowed herself
a generous margin of profit. Ordin-
airy Christmas seals bought at rate
of 10 for one cent were her stock
in trade and she sold them for a cent
apiece. The seals were neatly div
ided into lots of rs and no smaller
amount was offered for sale.
She started her campaign on the
same morning as the Civitan club be-
gan the sale of Christmas seals, and
she found many purchasers who
either thought they were buying tu-
berculosis seals or could not resist
the craftsmanship of small girl.

~ ECENT news items in the

= - that the first sheep were
brought to Montana either by John
F. Bishop of Beaverhead county,
or A. w. Kingsbury of Cascade
county, the respective dates being
1869 and 1871
While it is not my desire to take
any honors from the two distin-
guished and honored "old timers"
as to whom should be credited the
honor of bringing the first sheep
into the then territory of Montana,
yet to be historically accurate both
gentlemen will have to take back
seat, and to set this matter at rest
for all time, | will state that the
first sheep brought into the terri
tory were trailed over the Mullan
road from Washington by the Ca
tholic fathers in 1867 and were
taken to St. Peters mission and
wintered in 1867-68 at that mis-
sion.
The following spring (1868) the
fathers decided to abandon the
mission for the time being and dis
pose of the personal property and
the sheep (about 800 head were
taken to the Buffalo Bill" ranch
or otherwise known as the Priest
ranch" in the lower part of Little
