the typos and Immediately proffered a
dipper of beer. The old man vas q pro-
digious beer drinker and he enjoyed the
party. When it was all gone he sent
one of his hosts up to his saloon to have
the bucket filled, declaring that he want

unsteadily, declaring he had had q Won
derful time.
So great was the constant draught
night after night on Tickle's beer pumps
that the pressure was always low n
Tickle called in the plumbers. They fol-
lowed the pipes into the composing room

the glorious era of free beer was ended.
Tickle was furious when he learned
the truth.

1t required all of Dick Kilroy's di-

we didn't want him to go to Heinze, who
owned h News, and was having trouble
enough with it normally. Out OF thin
air Kilroy evolved q plan of Cancellation.

Imagination working fast" These boys
are all your friends. Right now they are
circulating a petition to have you APP

ty commissioner had died and the judges
were about to make an appointment to

Dick, IT was Just about to write a nice
little piece, with your picture, boosting

ately interested.
"They wouldn't be gfvin' Of hit to q

ave 1t, not for the salary, but the honor
and send them newspapers back in Corn
wall, where l lived when a poor lad"
So the News boosted Jimmie-a repub-
lican-and we actually circulated a pc
tition and Kilroy wrote Jimmie's applf-
cation. The judges had a hard time
agreeing on a man. Jimmie was well
liked and very charitable and he was
named finally and served the balance OF
the six year term with unexpected abil-
ity n good sense
That the News actually got Jimmie the
job is doubtful. but anyway we gave him
the idea to apply and he always gave us
credit for turning the trick. Next day

TIENRY MUNTzER, old-time Butte
Brewer and pioneer business man,
- celebrated his 80th birthday recent
ly. Aiding him In his celebration was
Mrs. Muntzer, to whom he was married
in 1884 at Silver Bow. Nine children
were born of the union. One passed away
in infancy. There are eight sons and
daughters and five grandchildren to COM
fort Mr.. and Mrs. Muntzer in their old
age.
Henry Muntzer was born March l, 1848,
in that little shuttlecock of European
warfare, Alsace, now German and again
French until the inhabitants lost all
connection with the ruling powers in
matter Of sentiment and proudly as
sumed the name of Alsatians as above
any other nationalistic designation.
To America in 1872
From the time he was ole enough to
handle a rake Henry Muntzer worked in
a brewery-part time, spare time and
finally as a regular workman. The new
world called to him, at the age of "a
He arrived in New York In 1874 and got
himself a job in q brewery. After a tim
he decided that Philadelphia offered pos
sibilities. He found work in q brewery
in that city also. II was getting &C
quainted with American methods Mr.
Muntzer said.
After two years In the east young
Muntzer set out for San Francisco and
remained at the Golden Gate until 1882
when he decided to try his luck in Butte
The young brewer established the Butte
brewery on North Wyoming street, where
1t stands today, n proceeded to fur
nish some lively competition for Henry
Mueller and his Centennial and Chris
Nissler n his Silver Bow brewery. He
took q lively interest in civic affairs and
served as alderman under the Harring-
ton administration.
Mr.. Muntzer continued in business in
Butte for is years when he sold his prop
erty to Donahue and Collins and set out
for Boise, Idaho, to set up another brew
cry. the Idaho company. He operated
that plant for four years and then sold
1t. Until a couple of years ago he has
since interested himself in mining. Now
l put in much of my time taking maps
he said. Apart from the fact that he
suffered a back injury a few years age
that causes him some discomfort, which
he relieves by lying down. Mr.. Muntzer
is in good health and looks 10 years
younger than his age.
Old Days Best
Like all OF the pioneer element, Henry
Muntzer holds that the old days were
best. What matter that the pungent
odor OF sulphur impregnated the smoke
that hung over Butte like a pail, draw
ing tears from the eyes and sometimes
blood from the nostrils2 What matter
that there was not an inch of pavement,
that sidewalks were OF planking and that
the streets we're churned Into a gooey
mass by the huge ore wagons drawn by
six or e~ight-horse teams that came plow-
ing down the m~ountainside? What diff
ference that there was not a single per-

word measured up to the standards of
those times as an all round sport. He
wore a six carat diamond, a quartz chain
draped across his vest, and carried a cane
the size of which would have tired any
ordinary man.
Jimmie was also county COMMISSIONS
of Silver Bow and this distinction came
to him indirectly as a result of the rob-
berry. The Gallery saloon received its
name legitimately from the pictures on
its walls. Pictures of every ring cham
pion In all classes from the earliest times,
pictures of horses with records, pictures
Of wrestlers, and pictures of racing
hounds, for in those days "coursing' was
a recognized western sport to which
Cornishmen were very much attached.
Public spirited and wealthy old Jim
mica confirmed bachelor-enjoyed life,
enjoyed his prestige, gave lavishly to
charity and worshipped Bob Fit7sim-
mons. Heinze's Evening News was print
ed lex door and Jimmie's scrap book
which he kept religious for years, was
frequently found invaluable for reference
to events which antedated the bound lille
Of any local publication.
1t so happened that the basement OF
the Evening News, which was also Its
composing room, extended under Jim
mics saloon and the beer pipes which
IurnlSneQ MIN ms QrauSnU DeeI ran All
q short space along the ceiling OF the
print shop. This fact was not realized
by the printers for several years, but
when the situation was grasped the
printers were not slow to capitalize it
Once, when a night shift was working 9
thirsty printer drilled a small hole II
the beer pipe and drew off a can Of
beer, and neatly plugged up the hole
with a piece of wood after he hao
enough. This secret was TOO good tc
keep and for months after, some printer
was always on night shift by preference
The composing room became q sort o.
club in the evenings n there was al
ways a large bucket OF beer and a dippel
awaiting all corners. This was not I'm
common, as the boys or night shift, be-
fore they discovered Jimmie's pipes
often sent out for a "growler," chipping
in dimes and nickles to pay for it.
Night after night high carnival wen
on in the basement Of the News. Some,
times as many as a dozen buckets, tn,
old-fashioned patent pail, were draw
off and consumed. Printers from thu
Miner and the old Intermountain anc
from MeKee's and Dick Oates shop sud
denly developed q wonderful f~riendlines!
for the News composing room. AS thu
night shift had no foreman, the boy
could do as they pleased.
One night. ~strolling up the alley, Jim

LAUDS
MONTANA PUPILS
SURVEY SHOWS THEY ARE SUPERIOR
IN INTELLECT ASSERTS CHAN
CELLOR OF UNIVERSITY

4 survey of the intellectual fiber OF
the high school students of Montana
as compared with that of students ut
tending school i'm the state from ad-
joining states, indicates that Mon
tana's product Is of a somewhat super
iOr quality. This statement was made
by Chancellor VI. A. Brannon. The
survey does not prove nat the state
has everything. educationally speaking,
but that excellent results are being at
tanned with the equipment on hand,
the chancellor explained.
Another explanation of the intellec-
tual quality of Montana's young people
is that their ancestry and heritages are
good, Mr.. Brannon believes. The high
school pupils and the young people OF
the state generally should be regarded as
an investment paying dividends, he de-
clared.
A survey of the kind just completed is
made with consideration of physical and
intellectual vigor, type of training and
the use that is made of the training. 1t
is a common belief, according to MIR.
Brannon that the graduates Of Montana's
higher institutions of learning leave the
state to seek greater opportunities else
where. This, he asserts, is not true.
Young people realize the opportunities
and chances for development in their
own state and are growing up with 1t in
many walks of life.
II am glad to report on this, for while
a recognition of social factors is not the
sole basis for a survey Of this sort. it is
worthwhile to know that q good invest
ment has been made in worthwhile
YOUTH" Mr.. Brannon said
Bulletin Is Planned
The department of education will soon
issue a bulletin designed by Mr.. Bran
non TO give the public of Montana COM
prehensive view of the anatomy of Mon
tana's institutions of higher learning.
The majority of persons have the most
desultory knowledge of this, he stated.
The educational institutions of the state
despite the many devices employed to
make them cosmopolitan and to keep
them in touch with the gulf stream of
intellectual life, m reach their high
est development until a wise fiscal policy
is established for the state government.
Montana has, however, made fine con-
tributions to educational Advancement
among these the consolidation system,
he said.
