Victory for Progress and i

The election for incorporation yester.
oay passed of quietly. though a great deal
o. work was done by the friends OF the
measure. who. expecting strong opposition.
exerfed every effost to carry ii through.
Although anticipating victory for reincor-
pcration the most sanguine were not pre-
pared Tor the immense majority in favor of
extending the city limits. At the polls
everything was orderly. no crowdseatbar;no
until = near the close, when tba
voters poured in in streams. TIE totalnu mi
Der OF votes cast was 1924; For R~eincor.
poration receiving 93S; Against Reincor.
poration, 2S6; majority for r-eincorpora-
tlon, 952. The opposition principally anne
rom = few small property owners and the
worst part OF the .'rounder" element, who.
earring to lose the infiuencs;which they have
long enjoyed in Butte, were determined
20 oppose the measure.
The result Of to-day's election shows
plainly that the citizens Of Butte have
to the fact that this city has a
destiny than that o. beng a mere
mining camp; and that it is to be the great
center OF the West, as well as
greatest mining camp in the world.
