Mr. and. Mrs. Gerard will oc- cupy the summer home of the late Marcus Daly, near Hamilton, in the Bitter Root valley. Mrs. Gerard, before her marriage to the man who has become a wolld figure because of his important am- bassadorial post, was Madge Daly, daughter of Marcus Daly, the man who, more than any other individual. developed the copper mines of the Butte district.

The firm defended Boss Tweed during the trial which reaulted in his downfall. When Gerard became a member of the firm, shortly after his graduation he was assigned to the department which attended to the legal business of Tammany hall. This interested him in politics early. Before he had been practicing many years he was chairman of the Tammany financial committee, one of the most powerful posts in the great organization. Was Original Wilson Alan. He became interested ie President Wilson's political fortunes shortly after he was elected governor of New Jersey. He was active in the or- ganization. which forced the attention of the national democratic party to cognizance Wilsons presidential pos- sibilities, and with the election of President Wilson waa named as am- bassador to Germany. The home at which Mr. and Mrs. Gerard will spend their summer is o,ne of the most beautiful places in the exquisite Bitter Root valley.

Just Fraction of Cent Lower in Price of Metal for Month Would Have Brought -Wage Scale Down to $4.50 Per Day; New York Maga- zine Deterndnes Point. • With an approximate average of 27.9 cents per pound for the copper settlement prices for the month of April, the $4.75 wage scale for the ensuing pay day in the Butte district is assured. The average was BO den- gerously close to the 27 1 / 2 cent mark at which the wages automatically drop to $4.50, that a drop of a cent or two in the copper quotations for any one day might have lowere(L.the Beale. Copper settlement quotations are officially determined by the Mining and Engineering Journal of New York and are issued weekly for the period from Thursday of one week to Wednseday of the next inclusive. As a consequence the calendar month and metal market month do not coincide entirely and any pub- lished calculation for April prior to last night is merely conjecture. Otir Special.

A mounted messenger rode into the sheep ranges west of Livingston. He knew his country, and in the dusk of the fading day rode up to a young man who was driving 11, herd of sheep into camp for the night. The man answered the description that had been given him. \Are you Ole Jacobson?\ asked the rider. \I am,\ heplied the sheepherder. \Is your home in Christiap, Nor- way?\ was the next question. The sheepherder replied that it had been. • \Then you are the man I am look- ing for. A lawyer wants you to come to Livingeton at once. Some folks of yours are dead, and you have been left a fortune.\ To Claim His Legacy. This conversation took place about a week ago. A few days later, Ole Jacobson groomed and in funds, all evidences of his nomadic life having been removed . , took the North Collet Limited out of Livingston for Chica- go, where he will interview the Nor- wegian consular officers and go on to Christiania to claim the legacy that has been left him. Jacobson has been a resident of Montana for 10 years. lie was the son of a well-to-do Norwegian fatu- ity, quarrelled with his people while he was a student at the University of Christiania, and left his home. A year after he was a Greek student, he was herding sheep near Bozeman, and he has eked out a miserable ex- istence, herding sheep, up anti down the Yellowstone valley ever :ince. An Annual Holiday. He fell.into the ways of the sheep- herder. Once a. year he would go into town with a year's wages in his pocket, and live a riotous life while his funds lasted. Then he would go back to the sheep camp tor another year, to return to town when he had accumulated another bank roll. Jacobson did not seem much con- cerned over his good fortune. Ile told the lawyer through whom the Norwegian consular agent had locat- ed him, that he alWays knew that the money was coming to him.

When Ernest Selway was sliding down the back cellar door of the old Corrinne hotel at Dillon, 20 years ago, no one dreamed that he would be the sheep king of Beaverhead county', or that he would be scat- tering small fortunes among his fel- low flockmasters this spring. Sel-- way has bought every pound of wool in southern Montana that the owners would take 50 cents per pound for. -It is estimated that Selway's pur- chases aggregate 2,500,000 pounds, which means that he has contracted to pay Beaverhead wool men $1,- -250,000. And all of title immense quantity of wool was bought over the telephone. The convereation would be aomething like this: The IlraTtfrhead Way. \Ilello. This is Selway. Is this Frank Landon?\ Landon would intimate that lie was at the other end of the wire. \What do you want for your wool clip?\ Landon, who has about 100,000 pounds of fine wool in his store- house, would spar about verbally, which is the coy way of floekmas- ters. \I will give you 60 cents for ft,\ Selway would say. \Sold would be the Landon an- swer. That ended the transaction. The deal was closen. If someone would come along and offer more, Landon would say that he had promised his wool to Selway. This is the way they do in Beaverhead coun- ty. Wants to Fight With Teddy. Senator Borah of Idaho tele- graphed Colonel Roosevelt offering to join his proposed expeditionary force in a any capacity desired. He has received no response from Col- onel Itoosevelt, who evidently is waiting to learn the fate of the sen- ate amendment to the army increase bill authorizing the utilation of two divisions of volunteers. It is be- lieved that the senate amendment will be retained in the bill unless President Wilson should exert influ- ence to have it rejected. Should he do this the amendment undoubtedly would be defeated.
