ton on a Wyoming "dude" ranch.
During his wanderings he climbed
Dead Indian hill and took a peek
over into the Sunlight basin. When
he descended the hill it was on the
basin side where he bought a little
COW outfit. He has been there ever
since.
He came to Billings Wednesday to.
meet his wife, who has been visiting
in the east. While here he called on
Secretary Shoemaker of the CONNER
cial club to lay before the organiza-
ton the proposition of the Clarks
Fork canyon road and ask for moral
support in an effort to induce the for
est service to act. He has already Wis

Dangerous.

SOME TALK OF BOYCOTT

Reckless operation OF unsafe
street cars along a dangerous" piece
of roadbed on North Capitol street be-
tween r street and Rhode Island ave-
nue. was scored at meeting of the
North Washington Citizens Assocfa-
tion last night at the United Brethren
Church.
AS a result Of the alleged unsafe
condition Of the tracks, the associa-
tion adopted a resolution requesting
the Washington Railway and Electric
Company to cut the speed of it's cars
between the streets named down to
six miles per hour, this being the first
step in an avowed campaign to drive
the one-man street car off the North
Capitol street line, according to mem
bers.
Danger OF Accident.
Cars rock violently when passing
street and Rhode Island avenue and
are operated at a speed which might
prove dangerous to the car riders, the
association was told. Discussion of
the one-man car resulted in a de-
cision by some e the members to
forego riding on fhis type of car, w.
J. Lang and Washington Topham de-
claring that this Is the only means
within the power of residents of the
section to show the railway company
they do not want the car in opera
ton on the North Capitol street line.
"Old-fashioned, worn-out and unsan-
itary equipment" also was scored.
Want Traffic Onicer.
Placing of a traffic officer at the in
tersection of Rhode Island avenue and
LIST street northwest was urged in a
resolution introduced by P. w. Pritchett
and passed by the association. Mem
bers pointed to a serious accident on
New Year eve at this corner. climaxing
other traffic accidents at the same
place. Under the terms of the resolu-
tion an officer would be in charge of
traffic sixteen hours a day.,
Removal Of the street car plow pit
from its present location to a point
on Michigan avenue beyond North
Capitol street was urged in another
resolution, which was passed. The
Washington Railway and Electric
Company was urged to speedily re-
pain cuts alongside it's tracks. in
another resolution. Miss Dorothy

Canadian ports and also the trans

deeply concerned in the proposal that
the United States reduce its immi-

The Canadian government has no
desire to admit these nationals. And,
as with less risk of exclusion, ma

ports, Canadian ships would suffer

are bills almost without number

fifty on the calendars of the two

The bill which seeks to impose a
license tax of 81, an anual tax, on
every pistol owned in the state. re-
Quiring the owner to register the

by the committee to which 1t was
sent. That is the bill which will pro-
vide funds to establish in this state
two hospitals for the treatment of
crippled children, one to be located
at the University of Virginia and the
other at the Medical College of Vir-
ginia here. The funds from this tax
are to be used exclusively for this

ly bruised shortly after 8 o'clock
Wednesday morning on Water street
in front of the Journal building, by
an automobile driven by W.. H. Aus

caused by the heavy snow in the

due the fact that Burns was not hurt
more seriously.

the street, when the auto approached
going toward Rines hill. The horn
was sounded some distance from the
man. who looked up and saw the auto
coming. At the time one wheel Of
the auto was In the car track and
the other in the loose snow at one
side. Burns after looking up took a
step to one side to let the auto by
and Mr.. Austin attempted to steer
the car out of the car track to allow
more room in passing. This he was
unable to do but in making the at
tempt, the wheels threw up the snow
in such a way that Mr.. Burns
thought the car was turning out the
other way. He therefore stepped
back where he originally was, and
thus stepped directly in front OF the
moving auto. He was knocked down
and the front wheel of the car passer
over both legs.

bad bruises but no broken bones.
Mr.. Burns was then taken to his

probably necessitate confinement to
