markable sense of humor which at
tracted people of all stations to him for
a contagion of laughter.
He was a man Of justice and tOler-
ance, and was possessed Of a virile
moral courage to support the equity
of his contentious for the right.
An immigrant TO America, he quickly
adapted himself to his new and strange
surroundings, and as a lad Of % he
became a pioneer of Montana, and
in his quiet way he contributed much
to the building of his city and the ad-
vancement of our commonwealth.
He was truly of the great middle
of this nation-the class which, II the
crisis should ever come, will stand to
the death in defense of the priceless
heritage and gift of American citizen
ship, so especially understood and
valued by the sons who came from
other lands.
He SO lived his long and useful life
and SO fulfilled his duties as citizen,
husband, father and neighbor that it
is only natural that such vast num-
Der should count themselves as priv
iliged to have enjoyed his friendship.
1t would seem as though his prayer
had ever been:
MAY I not forget that riches
and poverty are but of the spirit.
Teach me to be thankful for life
and for times olden memories
that are good and sweet, and
though I come not within sight
of the castle of my dreams, may
the evenings twilight find me
gentle still"
He never forgot spiritual values, and
he was thankful for life, and he cher
ished the olden memories, and he saw
the castle of his dreams in the fullness
Of his we'll spent life, and as the twi-
light closed around him It found him
still gentle, and calm and serene in
the confidence of Gods mercy and
love.
May he rest in peace and may per-
petual light shine upon him.

TWELVE COUNTIES
in DRY COLUMN
LIQUOR REFERENDUM AT RECENT
ELECTION WAS DEFEATED IN
THAT MANY SUBDIVISIONS
Ten Of Them Were in Eastern Mon
tana and Only Two Flathead and
Teton in Western District; Highway
Debentures Favored Everywhere.

MOntanans returned $4,000
vote majority to the measure seek
ing retention Of the states saloons.
but the cause succeeded not with
out opposition, particularly in the
eastern part of the state which in
the years past usually has voted
dry.
The official report on the general
election this year shows - counties of
the Sc defeated in their vote the refer
endum proposal which allowed reten-
ton Of the state-supervised and state
licensed retail liquor establishments,
The majorities against the proposal
varied from 20 votes in one county to
2,207 in another.
The 70 dry" counties and the
pluralities they voted against the pro-
posal were: Blaine 30, Daniels 624,
Flathead 22o7, Garfield 20, Golden
1893, Richland 636, Roosevelt $40. Sheri-
dan TAG, Teton 486. Valley 785. Ten
of these counties are eastern. as only
Flathead and Teton represent western
sections of the state.
On the other hand, Montana voters
gave the highway debenture measure
an overwhelming plurality, largest Of
any candidate or measure voted upon
at the election, and every county re-
turned favorable vote on that meas
ure. Also. no county showed a major
ity against the change in investment
of the trust and legacy fund. The
fourth special measure, which also
carried handily. had majorities in all
but II counties. 1t provided four-year
terms for most county officers.
Again in the instance of the consti-
tutional amendment on that subject
did eastern Montana voters express
the greatest mo" vote. The proposal
lost in the following counties: Carter,
Dawson. Fallon, Garfield. judith
Basin, McCone, Meagher, MusselsheI,
Petroleum, Phillips, Powder River,
Prairie, Sanders, saltwater, Sweet
Grass, Toole and Wibaux The first
congressional district can claim only
Sanders county out of that group.

Built in I9O9-l0.

Abandonment Of the Gilmore &
Pittsburgh railroad, If application
to discontinue operations Is ap-
proved by the interstate commerce
commission, will end a chapter of
Montana railroading which prob
ably created more interest than
any other similar line in the state,
according to railroad officials.
W. N. Bichler president of the road
running between Armstead, Mont. and
Salmon, Idaho. announced that the
company will discontinue operation of
the line May l, 1889. due to lack of
funds. Formal application, he said,
would be made in the near future.
The line was termed Montana's
dent OF the company, w. A. Nc
Cutcheon. Work was started in April,
1909. on the l25-mile road. and COM
pleted May 3, 1910. Two thousand
men were at work at one time.
Railroad officials recalled that there
were many rumors concerning the pur-
pose Of the line. Many persons, they

northern terminus at Whitehall. The
line would run south to Dillon. over
to Salmon, south along the Salmon
river and across the Sawtooth noun
tatns to Boise. Idaho, then to San
FRANCISCO through Nevada, according
to beliefs
Others contended that the road
would provide a shorter line to the
Pacific coast, via Salmon, Lewiston,
Idaho, and west. The high point of
the rrlmors was reached when the rail-
road purchased a depot site on the
eastern outskirts of Dillon after start
ing operations.
The first passenger train was run
over its rails on May IT, 1910. 1t was
q special carrying 200 passengers, in
Guiding many officials of both states.
On the following day Salmon cele-
brated in typical western fashion the
driving of the golden spike which Of
ficially marked the completion of the
road.
Whatever plans were held for the
road, it was not extended. 1t served,
however, to carry ore from lead and
silver mines along its route which were
opened up during the pre-war period,
and also served the agricultural Sec
ton between Dillon and Salmon. 1t
has been in continuous operation
since 1910.

john l.. Slattery's Eulogy
AT Funeral of MI. Kaufman

He whom we now mourn here was
blessed in many ways by a merciful and
beneficent Providence.
Among those blessings was a rare
philosophy Of life that dominated his
long career-the practice of love, kind
ness and simplicity in his home, hon.
esty and square dealing in his BUSH
ness. fervent devotion of the country
OF his adoption, and an abiding faith
in the Father of us all.
In early youth he knew the sorrows
Of the poor and lowly, the fluctuations
OF the weak and underprivileged, and
MS kind heart ever responded to the
promptings of a true love of neighbor,
and all mankind was his neighbor:
for as hard and honest toll brought
MN a fair measure of deserved pros
perity he never closed his eyes or his
ears or his purse to charity. Well did
he know the blissful joy of secret Civ
ing, for to him charity was too noble
a virtue to be debased by publicity.
He also knew the joyous side of life,
for, again, he was blessed with a re-
