CHARTER GRANTED
FROM CALIFORNIA
Capt. E. S. Pease Wires That Moun
taineers Are Admitted to the
Golden State.
From Thursday's Daily.
The head office of the Fraternal Or
d,,r of Mountaineers was yesterday
apprised by a telegram from Capt. E.
S. Pease who is in San Francisco that i
the order has been admitted to do bus
iness in the Golden state and that as
soon as some necessary papers are
filed a charter to carry on a fraternal
insurance business will be issued by
the California commission. Capt.
Pease will remain in California for a
few weeks for the purpose of placing
a field agent in charge of the work in
the state and getting the Mountain
eers started.
Washington and Oregon have grant
ed the same privilege to the Moun
taineers, Utah issued the lodge a char
ter a few montns ago and the or
ganization which was started by Bill
ings men in this city but a few years
ago is now branching out and solicit
ing business in five western states.
The application for charters from
Utah, Washington, Oregon and Cal
ifornia was made in persuance of a
policy laid out at the last annual meet
ing held in this city in July at which
time the lodge, whose work has here
tofore been confined solely to Mon
tana, decided to branch out and be
come national in character. All four
of these western states have thor
oughly examined the business system
employed by the Mountaineers and
have passed upon it as perfect and
sound.
Since the annual meeting in July the
lodge has increased its insurance in
force by nearly a fourth and has op
ened up two flourishing cabins in this
state, one of which, the Great Falls
cabin, has a membership of 200 after
being in existance but a month.
NO SUCCESSOR SELECTED.
NEW YORK. Oct. 20.-No director
to fill the place of the late E. H.
Harriman was elected at the annual
meeting of the stockholders of the
Erie Railroad company today. The
former directors were re-elected.
SIX TAXICABS
SOON IN USE
Enterprise Automobile Company Be. I
Ileves That New Vehicles Will
Pay Here.
WILL BUILD AT ONCE I
Plans for New Garage Completed and 1
Contract Will Probably be Let To
day-Adds Another Building to East
Montana Avenue.
Billings is right up with the metro
politan procession. The auto is fast
replacing the cab in the larger cities
of the land and within three months
at the farthest it will be possible to
take a taxicab anywhere in Billings
for the Enterprise Automobile Com
pany, a new concern which is headed
by J. Collins West, has placed an or
der with the Buick Automobile com
pany for six of their latest designs of
"taxis" and the machines will be de
livered and put in use at the earliest
possible date.
The coming of the taxicab to Bill
ings marks but another step in the
growth of Billings from a country
town to a modern city. The machines
will be operated here as in all large
cities; there will be a minimum
charge for the service of the vehicle
and when the distance traversed ex
ceeds that charge the fare will be
paid by the mile. It is said, however,
that the minimum charge will be much
less here than in other places and that
the taxicabs will enter into active com
petition with the hack and cab com
panies of the city. The taxicabs will
be of the style in use in all large cities,
a limosine body being used and re
cording instruments showing the dis
tance traversed being placed in the
closed portion of the machine.
The plans and specifications for the
new auto garage of the Enterprise
Auto company, which have been pre
pared by Curtis C. Oehme, are com
plete and are in the hands of the con
tractors. It is expected that bids for
the work will be in this evening or to
morrow and that the contract for the
building can be let tomorrow. :I
possible the work will be started at
once as there will be no basement un
der the building it is hoped that work
on the walls can be completed before
the cold weather sets in.
The plans call for a building 130 by
50 feet, two stories in height and con
structed of Fromberg pressed brick
with Columbus sandstone trimmings.
The building will stand on the corner
of Twenty-third and Montana avenue
and will aid materially in the im
provement of lower Montana ave. and
of the blocks directly adjacent to the
new depot.
The main entrance to the building
will be on Montana avenue and will be
through a massive stone arch flanked
by ornamental lamps of hammered
bronze. The first floor will be devot
e ed exclusively to storage purposes and
will be entirely clear of all posts and
obstructions, the second floor being
suspended from the roof which is in
- turn held up by heavy steel trusses.
r In one corner of the immense room
n will be a concrete wash rack, large
v enough to accomodate two or more
s machines at a time, and in the oppo
s site corner will be an elevator for
the purpose or hoisting machine from
y the first to the second floor.
The second floor of the building will
B be devoted to a large machine shop
e and a display room where the firm
d will keep the cars it has for sale. It
was the intention of the company at
first not to conduct a repair shop in
connection with the garage but this
plan has been changed and a large
repair and paint shop will be installed.
There will also be a club room on
the second floor where auto parties
may rest and which will be provided
with ample bath and toilet rooms
where the stains of travel may be
I washed away.

was finished Tuesday afternoon, found
Lamb guilty of the crime charged
against him. Sentence to be given
Friday of this week.
The case of the state vs J. O. R.
Cox, charged with robbery, was called,

of the 'most important witnesses for
the state, the case was continued until
the next term of court. Cox is charged
with having held up and robbed A. C.
Moore of about $30 on the night of
May 29, and George Worley, his part
ner in the alleged crime, has already
entered a plea of guilty and is now
serving his term in the penitentiary.
The hearing of the case of the state
vs Richard Lee, charged with passing
a worthless check for $20, drawn on
the First National bank and signed
"John Snidon", took up the major por
tion of the time of the court yester
day. The case was given to the jury
late in the afternoon, with instruction
to return a sealed verdict. The jury
reached an agreement after a half
hour's deliberation, and the verdict
will be read this morning.
James Donovan, found guilty of
stealing a watch and pocket book, will
, be sentenced this morning to 18
months in the penitentiary.
The case of the state vs Aaron A.

days in which to think it over.

the Street. '

shot and killed, another received a
gunshot wound, two policemen, one i

TROPHY CUP FOR L
DRY LAND FRUIT
Chamber of Commerce of Spokane
Offer for Best Display of
Apples.
MANY WILL CONTEST
Orchards Raised Without Irrigation
Art not Infrequent and Apply Show
City Seeks to Aid Congress by Gen
erous Premium.
From Thursday's Daily.
Late yesterday afternoon the prem
ium committee of the Dry Farming
congress received a telegram from
the Spokane Chamber of Commerce
announcing that that body would give
a handsome trophy cup for the ,best
display of apples raised without irri
gation made at the Dry Farming con
gress.
The display is to consist of five
boxes of any variety of winter apple
and although the offer is posted a
trifle late it is believed that there will
be a goodly number of contestants
who will enter the lists for the Spo
kane cup. There are many orchards
that are raised without irrigation, and E
it is felt that a good display of dry
land fruit can be brought out by the
offer of the cup.
Spokane is coming to Billings for
the purpose of getting the next con
gress and the Chamber of Commerce
of that city is leaving no stone un
turned in its efforts along that line.
The offer of the cup for dry land ap
ples will not only interest exhibitors
here in the coming apple show at Spo
kane but it will go to show that the
Spokane people are there with the
goods and are anxious to have the
next meeting held in their city.
t SPECIAL CARS TO
CROWD THE YARDS
Extra Police Will Be Appointed to
Patrol Railroad Yards Dur
t Ing Congress.
d The matter of properly oaring for
the largest number of special cars
w hich will be brought to this city
y during the week of the Dry Farming
congress and which will be used for
the greater part as quarters for dele
e gates during the sessions of the con
gress is beginning to be somewhat
of a puzzle for the Northern Pacific.
The passenger yards are at best none
too large and from present indica
tions there will be no less than 30
or 40 Pullmans and private cars side
tracked here next week, which will,
to say the least, bring about a rather
conjested state of affairs. If the num
ber of private cars which are being
booked for Billings next week contin
ues at the present rate it ,will be
necessary to lay a number of tempo
rary tracks on which the cars can be
switched.
Some 12 cars are coming over the
Great Northern, exclusive of Presi
dent Hill's train of at least seven pri
s vate cars. The Canadian Pacific plans
k to send several carload delegations,
n Livingston, Miles City, Wibaux, Hele
Lt na, Spokane and many other nearby
cities will send their delegations in
private cars and the bookings on the
Northern Pacific and Burlington are
a beginning to pile up in an unexpected
manner.
