MORE REQUESTS
Meanwhile, the requests for o
book piled up, along with an occas-
1onal injury from q publisher. Then,
several months ago, Williams got
q letter from ]. Frank Dobie,
famed western author, teacher and
collector Of range lore. He recounted
some incidents in which "Out Our
Way" cartoons had figured, and
eonsluded:
Seriously, for your own sake and
Tor the sake Of lots Of us people
who love the Life you depict so
realistically. I advice you to bring
but the book (of cowboy drawings.
It will talk, to people who know,
like nothing else this side Of Charlie
Russell's Trails Plowed Under ~
will, Of course, reach q much wider
audience than old Charlie ever
reached"
Apparently, Dobie's appeal was
the ,flnal squirting needed to drive
Jim Williams between the covers
Of book. For now there is q book.
Charles Scribners' Sons have Just
published, and stores have It for
bl.25. It's titled "Out Our Way"
and inside are 126 cartoons-a selec-
lion from the thousands which

them frayed and yellowed, and
many Of them carefully framed, Gle

IN the same faShlcn, wilhams'

all the bulletin boards and In the

williams steady stream Of fan mail
indicates that most Of the scrap

The appeal Of eli Of these draw
ings was described In the letter from
J. Frank Dobie (who, incidentally,

He wrote to williams:

STUDIES In MAIN STREET DIVINITY
By JOHN STAHLBERG

Tho new Authorized Version - au
thorized by the editor of the MissouIa
Sentinel-of the Commandments:
We are Petronius thy tin god, which
have been divinely self-ordained to d.
rect thy thinking, dictate thy conduct,
and judge thy morals, and to condemn
thee at our pleasure, thou, and thy
son, and thy daughter, thy man-ser-
want, and thy maid-servant, and whom
soever is within thy gates.
Thou shalt recognize no divinity
save ours.
Thou shalt not take unto thee any
reading matter except the Sentinel,
nor listen to any voice except ours,
whether from the heaven above, or
out of the earth beneath, or out of the
radios that clutter up the earth: thou
shalt not bow down thy head over
them nor sit before them: for we, Pc
tronius, are jealous tin god, visiting
the intelligent among our people upon
any locality except our own, even
unto the greatest distance to which
we can have them removed.

to praise us, for we will not hold him

Thou shalt not think nor speak, nor
so much as open thy drafted mouth,
except thou have our permission:
neither shalt thou work, nor play, nor
go to, nor go fro in the land, nor eat
lest thou grow bigger than we, nor
sleep lest thou grow stronger, nor
turn to thy left, nor turn to thy right
nor bounce up, nor sag down, nor do
any thing whatsoever without first
consulting us: we are Petronius.
Thou shalt not commit adulthood,
but shalt be a moron all thy days,

thee as wise, and our arguments as

Thou shalt not bear false witness:

1.-THE PUBLIC BE DAMNED"

The railroad company is lengthen-
ing the side tracks in the Livingston
yards, and in fact, most of their yards
on the entire system, so as to accom-
odate longer freight trains, or possibly
to make greater profits by making train
crews do more work, and be in
position to lay off more train crews
when the war is over. The lengthen-
| ing of the sidetracks extend over the
present crossing and when the ex-
| tensions of tracks are all completed,
| it is said, there will be twelve or
more tracks on the crossing and the
railroad will be compelled to split
trains in order to keep the crossing
open for traffic. The railroad has to
split it's trains at other crossings
along its right-of-way and have a
Waterman at the crossings to warn
the travelling public-and safety de-
vices as well. All danger can be elm
mated by the construction of an over
head pass at the crossings. The

live in the northeast part of Livings-

as the people in that part of the city
will have to travel a long way If they
desire to go to the south east part
of the city and the moving of the
crossing will tend to lower the value
of the property in the north east part
of the city. Most of the residents in
the north east part of Livingston are
employees of the railroad-but what

Some years ago, there was a dan
gerous highway crossing east of Bill
ings, where people were being killed
by trains-one morning the N. P. pas
senger train east bound wiped out
whole family of tourists in an auto
mobile. Public opinion in Billings
was aroused and the people were de-
.ermined that the useless killing of
people on that crossing must stop.
An under-pass was constructed with
,ut any delay and the railroad Off
,ials did not oppose the construction

A few years ago, on the Montana
Avenue crossing of the Northern Pa

soing to school. The people of Hell
ma were shocked over the accident.
'ublic opinion demanded that the
abroad officials act at once. A
gatchman was put at the crossing

filing of school children was stopped.

BY A LIvINGSTONIAN

An effort is being made by the
Northern Pacific Railway to change
the railroad crossing at the east end
Of Livingston, Montana, to a point
1000 yards east and nearer the rail-
road bridge that crosses the Yellow
stone river.
1t appears that the county commits
sioners favor granting the application
of the Northern Pacific Railway COM
pany. The present crossing has been
in existence for over 20 years and
was established, it is said, at the in
crossing is used by nearly all the
tourists that travel between the Gla-
cier Park and the Yellowstone Nation
al Park and who travel by the way of
White Sulphur Springs, but it is not
part of the state highway system
while connecting with the city of
Livingston. To reduce the hazard of
the present crossing, is the reason for
changing the road. 1t is true that the
present crossing is dangerous and
quite a number of people have been
killed on the crossing A few weeks
ago resident of Livingston was
killed on the crossing during the
night by switch engine backing
down on him.
The railroad company maintains no
Waterman at the crossing and for a
crossing that has so much traffic over
it there Is no safety device whatever
and no warning given to the travel
ing public. The danger of the cross
ing can be eliminated by an over
head pass and for some reason or an
other the county commissioners, the |
Livingston city council or the officials |
of the railroad have done practically |
little or nothing to get an overhead |
pass. Why the railroad officials have |
not been active in getting an over
pass in order to eliminate damage |
suits for injuries received by the tray
cling public is a conundrum. The
county commissioners appear to be
quite willing to give the railroad all
that it asks for.
The proposed new crossing will be
more dangerous to the travelling pub
lie than the present one, for the rea-
son that those approaching the cross
Ing from the north will have to come
up an incline and will be unable to
see if train is approaching from the
east or west. At this crossing there
will be two railroad tracks, the main
line and a side track. Those ap- :
the crossing from the
south, will have poor visibility as far
Is approaching trains from the east
ire concerned
The proposed crossing is approx
nately seven hundred and fifty feet
vest of the railroad bridge across the
Yellowstone river.
Passenger trains approaching Liv-
ngston from the east, travel at a
Ugh rate of speed, sometimes at 35
II 40 miles and better per hour cross !
ng the railroad bridge 1t will be I
lmost impossible for the locomotive :

% greater. An overhead pass at the
ew crossing will entail lot Of en-
ineering difficulties and the flood s

INCREASE COAL PRICES

Anthracite coal ceiling prices have
ben raised by OPA an average of 81
cents a net ton at the mine. In
creases range from 35 to 70 cents a
ton, depending on the size of the coal.
On June 1, 1914, the new ceilings at
age of % cents a ton, leaving net in
creases of about 81 cents ton The
exact amount of these increases can
be passed on to the consumer. Pur-
pose of the approximately six months
of higher ceilings is to compensate
mine owners for the retroactive fea-
ture of recent wage increases.
