CAUGHT ON THE RUNi
ABOUT TOWN
PEOPLE YOU KNOW AND SOME'
OF THE THINGS THEY SAY
AND DO.
A busy visitor in town yesterday was
C. B. Witter, representing the Helena
interests that are con
TO BUILD cerned with the new
AT ONCE. Bitter Root Building
company, the organiza
of which was noted In The Missoullan
a few days ago. This company is offi
cered by Lewis Penwell, president; T.
J. Walsh, vice president; R. M. Cobban
secretary. The concern has purchased
a lot on Higgins avenue and South
Third street, just at the south end of
the new bridge, and J. H. Kennedy is
preparing plans for a three-story
brick and stone building, which will be
erected as soon as it is possible to get
it under way. The site is command
Ing and the building will be a model.
It will have a frontage of 140 feet on
Third street and a depth of t6 feet;
there will be seven stores on the first
floor and the second and third stories
will be arranged for a modern apart
ment house; Miss Mary Huffman of
Butte has contracted for a five-year
lease on the two upper floors and will
conduct a high-class establishment;
she has been for 10 years the proprie
tor of the Lenox in Butte and is ex
perienced in the business. "The build
Ing will be handsome," said Mr. Wit
ter last night, "and will have an ad
mirable site, I think. Mr. Penwell's
attention was attracted to this city
and to this particular location by Mr.
Berry and we regard the prospect as
particularly inviting. As soon as Mr.
Kennedy has the plans finished, we
will go ahead with the building."
Cliff Rittenour was in town yesterday
on business. Mr. Rittenour had the
enthusiastic description
A BIASED of Plains to give to his
OPINION. inquiring friends and
he had a lot of them
almost ready to pack up and gO down
the valley where everything is alto
gether lovely all the time. Plains is
a nice place and has many advan
tages; great crops are raised there but
there is nothing about Plains that Is
higher class than her boosters; they
are the real things. But there Is no
place on earth that is perfect, not
even Plains, and that it has its .little
weaknesses is evidenced by the con
tents of a slip of paper that Mr. Rit
tonour folded up and put in his pocket
to take home with him. In the course
of his tour of the city, he dropped in
at the grocery store where he used to
work when he lived in Missoula. He
was cordially greeted, of course, and
he proceeded to look around the es
tablishment. On the wall he spied a
placard that caught his eye and fur
ther captivated his fancy. He copied
its legend upon the piece of paper that
he carried home with him; he said he
wanted to show it to a man he knew
in Plains. This is what he wrote on
the paper:
And now the honest farmer packs
Hils apples for the town.
This is the top row of his sacks:

It seemed natural yesterday to see
Dave Bogart about town. lic came
over from Helena for the Sunday re
cess of the leglslature
DAVE IS and spent the time
AT HOME. pleasantly amongst his
old friends. "We are
having rather a quiet time of it at
Helena this season," said he in reply e
to an Inquiry last night. "The routine
business Is proceeding without much
hitch yet and there is a considerable
amount of work being done. Iut the I
third house Is having all of the ex- t
citement and all the fun; the sessions
of these delegates are entertaining and
they do not adjourn as often as the
other branches of the state govern
ment. But theirs is about all the stir f
there is at the capitol."
Charlie Derry also returned for the t
legislative recess and was busy at
home during yesterday. s
DERRY IS He has a hoarseness t
HUSKY. that is severe but he t
asserts that it does not a
conme from the too strenuous use of
his voice in debate. It is just a Hel

Mr. Derry says there is a good deal
of It being done, though there is not
much fuss about it yet. "In a few day
the results of the routine work will
begin to show in the final passage of
bills," said Mr. Derry last night.
Senator Donlan put in a busy Satur
day, he, too, having come over from
the capital f o r a
SENATOR little visit at home.
DONLAN. Asked as to the result I
of Senator Dixon's dec- I
laration that he will not be in the
cabinet, Senator Donlan said: "It
will not make any difference with the
gossips; they will talk just the same
as they have been, but I am sure that
Mr. Dixon's declination is final and
that he has no thought of resigning. I
stated this positively in an interview
at Helena when the talk first started,
and I have not had any other view at
any time."
Joe Woodford, after years of wan

foreign parts, has re

MOTION
KEELEY CASE MAY BE BROUGHT
UP IN SANDERS COUNTY
IN FEBRUARY.
Last evening Judge Henry L. Myers,
who presided in the district court yes
terday while awaiting train, connec
tions for Thompson, where the Febru
ary term of court is to begin upon his
arrival, stated that it was possible
that the motion of H. J. Keeley for a
new trial would be brought up dur
Ing the coming term.
Keeley, it will be remembered, is
the Northern Pacific train dispatcher
who is being held under sentence of
eight months in the state peniten
tiary for involuntary manslaughter,
Involving the loss of seven lives in
the Olive wreck last September. Keel
ey is still being held in the Sanders
county Jail pending action of the
court in the matter of a new trial.
Judge Myers stated yesterday that
W. J. Burley, attorney for the de
fendant, had Just received a transcript
of the evidence sworn to in the for
mer trial and was preparing a bill of
exceptions upon which to base the
motion for the new hearing.
G. A. Mitchell, the Perma telegraph
operator who was tried on a charge
similar to that of the dispatcher, and
acquitted, is being held in the ooun
ty Jail awaiting trial on another in
formation charging involuntary man
slaughter. Mitchell was formerly tried
on the charge involving the death of
Engineer Valentine, but on acquittal
wls immediately rearrested on Infor
matlon involving the death of En
gineer Monson. This case is set for
the February term.
In the Mitchell matter Judge Myers
-will be called upon to decide a point,
which has been argued in many other
courts. In some instances it has been
held that a prisoner acquitted on the
charge of murder cannot be retried
.n the same charge involving deaths
which have occurred in the same train
of circumstances.

NATURALIZATION LAW
IS EXPLAINED
CHIEF EXAMINER SMITH SPENDS
DAY WITH LOCAL COU'RT
OFFICIALS.
John Speer Smith of Seattle, chief
naturalization examiner, arrived in
Missoula yesterday from Butte, where
he examined a class of 37 aliens seek
ing admission to citizenship in the
United States. Mr. Smith came here
for the purpose of holding the same
examination, but owing to the absence
of Judge F. C. Webster, this event
was postponed until a later date.
In discussing the nature of the work
in which he is engaged Mr. Smith
stated that owing to the great changes
which had taken place in the natural
Ization laws of thO country since
1906, it had become incumbent upon
the government to be represented at
each examination of applicants for
citizenship. The present naturalization
law, which was passed in June, 1906,
and became effective in September
of the same year, requires a more
rigid examination of the applicant than
was thought necessary under the for
mer law. Until the latter law was
repealed, by the enactment of the new
code, the applicant, after having been
a resident of this country a certain
period, appeared before the district
judge and declared his intention of
becoming a citizen of this country. A
the expiration of a period of five
yeras more he made application for
the second set of papers, which were
granted upon recommendation of two
witnesses. in the case of an alien ar
riving on American shores\ before
reaching the age of 18 years it was
only necessary that he live in this
country five years, when he could
take out all papers at one time, with
out the formality of declaring his in
tention of tbcoming a citizen. Under
the present law all these conditions
have been changed and a minor Immi
grant is subject to the same rules of
naturalization as an adult alien.
Upon declaration of his intention of
becoming an American citizen, pa
pers are made out for the applicant
'n triplicate, one to be forwarded to
the Washington department, one to
the district court and one to be kept
on file in the office of the clerk of
'he court. A notice is immediately
nosted in the office of the clerk for
public perusal, announcing the dec
iration, and naming a date when the
-amination of the applicant will be
wld. All persons are advised pub
'ioly that if they know cause, or Just
reason why the applicant should not
be received into full American citizen
Thip it is their duty to appear before
the chief examiner on the date named
for examination and declare their ob
Jections.
The Missoula examination will be
c-lil in the course of a few weeks by
lthe assisting examiner, who will an
'unnce a ldate when he can meet with
Tmleo Webster for that nurpoee.
Examlner Smith, whose territory ex
tendsl over the entire states of Mon

stabbed him in the abdomen. White

shortly after he reached his house. A

AGAINST BILL
COAL MEN OBJECT TO MEASURE
PROVIDING TAX FOR BENE
FIT OF MINERS.
Special to The Daily Missoulian.
Helena, Jan. 30.-The senate com
mittee on corporations, other than
municipal, listened today to reasons
why the Meyer bill, providing for the
pensioning of coal miners, should not
become a law, and also arguments in
Its favor. The bill proposes that on
every ton of coal mined in the state
a tax of 1 cent a ton shall be levied,
the money to be used for the benefit
of coal miners who are injured while,
at their employment. The coal op
crators who appeared said such a
measure meant the cutting off of 10
per cent of their profits and that they
could not afford that and still pay
the highest wages paid to coal miners
in the world.
Alex Fairgrieve, who appeared for
the miners, said Maryland had such a
'aw and so did New Zealand, and fie
had been delegated by the coal miners
to avocate its passage. The commit
tee did not indicate what its report on
the bill would be.
