FIRE DESTROYS
RANCHER'S Home
Loss Is About $4,000, Offset by
$4,000 InsuEance-Origin
of Blaze Unknown

Fire Monday morning destroyed the
ranch home Of Ed johnson, on Mid
die Greek, eight miles southwest Of
Bozeman, mourning a loss of approx
imately $1,000. Mr.. johnson carried
$4,000 insurance upon the building
and its contents. The cause Of the
blaze is not known.
The fire, which was started in the
roof, was discovered by members Of
the family while attending to the
chores. All efforts to a v the struc-
ture were fruitless. Some clothing,
bedding and furniture was removed,
Mr.. johnson receiving painful burns
while engaged in this work.
The johnson home was a nine
room, modern dwelling with running
water and other up-to-date convent
ences. It is presumed that damage
done to a chimney by the earthquake
of last summer was responsible fO1
the fire.

WASHINGTON
JEWELLERS
BESET BY LAWS
District Commissioners Rule
Like Twin Cars, Says
Chas. p. Stewart
BY Charles r. Stewart

Washington, Jan. 19.-The way the
Washington citizenry is bcdeviled by
government is one sin and two
shamcs.
The two district commissioners
the third or engineer commissioner
concerns himself only with technical
matters, for which thank providence
rule like twin czars. Whatever they
say "goes"-at least it does for .
while.
Later the courts often knock it
out.
The frequency with which this
happens is significant Of the regimes
responsibility.
The commissioners slap on some
new regulation and it's law until
somebody employs counsel and spends
q lot of money putting up q firht.
Then, as likely as not. it transpires
that the whole thing was illegal all
along.
Those who suffered under, it in the
meantime simply are out of luck.
A Fair Sample.
The rule subjecting pedestrians to
arrest for auto traffic code viola
tons was q recent sample.
Traffic Director Eldr,dgc wanted
it and persuaded Commissioners Rud-
olph and Fenning to issue the de-
cree. The police dropped everything
else to go after pedestrians.
Trying to cross street was prac.
ticallv equivalent to a pinch. Obey
ing the traffic officers signals was
to invite being run over, for the cops
were too busy with pedestrians to
bother with autos'and they ran wild.
To disregard them was to land in Jail.
After several days Of this. with l31
arrests, one of the jaywalkers APP
pealed from the traffic court to a
higher tribunal, which promptly de-
clared the entire performance an OUT
rage and ordered it stopped.
Card Game Courted Arrest.
There was one while, q few years
ago, when it literally wasn't safe to
sit down for , social card game in
your own parlor, in the capital.
The commissioners were irving "a
suppress gambling and II the police
happened to peek through . window
and saw something they thought
looked like it, they raided the place.
That spasm passed in due season:
when somebody with influence was
interfered with and raised roar.

Now Game Warden Kirby has adj

of wholesale slaughter and extinction
has been averted. Thousands OF
clippings from American newspapers

CONGRESSMAN
HATET0G UP
IN THE MORNING
Houses Seldom Meet Before
Noon and Alarm Clocks
Are Set Accordingly
BY Charles p. Stewart,
NEA Garvirn yNritar

Washington, Jan. l6.-Congress
doesn't think much Of that old bro
! Mide about the early bird.
Or maybe it doesn't care for
worms.
At all events, very few congress-
men quit the hay until we'll on in
the forenoon.
There are exceptions, like Senator
Rorah, who always is up betimes and
has couple Of hours horseback rid
ing, as well as a whole stack of
work, to his credit before most Of his
fellow legislators have finished with
their breakfast food.
!: The houses seldom meet, however,
before noon and a big majority Of
the lawmakers set their alarm clocks
accordingly.
Mornings for Committee Work.
To be sure, the bulk Of the Con-
grcssional committee work is done in
the morning, but committees get to-
gether only once in awhile, Some
weekly, some fortnightly and the rest
when their chairmen call them.
OF course the senators and repres.
cntativcs have their personal office
routine and correspondence to attend
to and visitors to receive, but it's just
as easy to do that after adjournment
easier, in fact, if one likes to sleep
late, as its evident so many of them
do.
Earlier than 10 a. m. the Senate
and house office buildings are al
most deserted. Then the congress-
linen begin to struggle in. BY II or
1880 pretty full representation are
on the job. But some never do show
UP in their offices until the days
work in the two chambers is over.
Also there's little group who are
habitually late even for the sessions
generally the same ones over and
oyer again. Some people are born
pnpunctual.
Coolidge Has Breakfast Dates.
Yet there's one thing the nations
statesmen do have to get up good
.rd gol derned early for, and that's
y keep a date with President Cool
sdge. to eat breakfast with him at
the White House.
Whenever the president has some
thing in mind that he particularly
wants Congress to do, he invariably
begins asking patches of senator's and
representativcs-abo half q dozen
at time--to drop in on him for
breakfast, during which he talks the
matter over with them and tries to
convert them, if they need convert
ing.
!: Well, the president breakfasts at
8, which may not seem very early to
felix who are accustomed to being at
work by that hour, but seems mighty
early to . congressman who has hard
work to report for duty at the capitol
~ noon.
