Butte, July 1s.-The real estate ex-
change held q meeting this evening at
Curtis & Majors Office. As is usual with
this g~ood-natured body, the exchange did
some business and had a good deal OF
fun. The fun commenced very early i'm
the meeting. After the usual initiatory
ceremonies, q. n. Kemper arose as n
member Of the executive committee and
stated that he had been instructed to
print 1900 official contract forms for the
use of members. Upon investigation he
had learned that there were no forms.
They had been stricken out OF
the constit ution before its adop-
ton. He had, however, prepared
a contract form which he would present
for the consideration o. the exchange.
Green Majors here obtained the floor
and said he would like TO see any record
Of them having beer stricken out.
The secre tary explained that he had
found the original copy OF the constitution
with the contract form and other parts
stricken out. This he had taken TO MIR.
Leahy for explanation. Mr.. Leahy had
with a pair of shears cut out parts of this
and pasted them on another paper.
Where is the record" exultinRly de-
manded Mr.. Majors. "Mr. Leahy chops

Mr.. Kemper moved that the parts form
erly stricken out be added to the consti-
tuition designating the particular article
and section.
Green Majors again arose and insisted
that his motion was improper. The con-
tract had never beer set aside.
John Z. Cannon thought the bylaws had
all been left to a committee, of which Mr..
Leahy was q member and that these by
laws as passed upon bv the committee
were adopted without reading.
As neither Mr.. Kemper or Mr.. Majors
would give in, an appeal was made TO the
minutes. But before the secretary could
complete his reading Mr.. Majors moved
that this motion bv which the report was
adopted be recinded.
w. G. Shipper objected to this motion
as unparliamentary. The secretary now
found and read the record of b adoption
of the committees report n Mr.. Majors
withdrew his motion i'm some confusion
and merriment.
James W. Murphy moved that a com.
mittee Of three be appointed
to Immediately withdraw and
propose n form Of conduct. The
president was added to this committee
erations OF this committee.
The committee on returning proposed
three forms OF contract, used by as many
firms i'm the city.
Mr.. Shipper moved that a committee
of three, one from each of the firms, be
appointed to determine a form of con-
tract. There was at this point much de-
sultory discussion as to he ACCESSIBILITY
of having 81 inserted as n con-
s~ideration. This motion for a committee
was carried, and Messrs. Shipper. Patten
n Majors were appointed as the COM
row afternoon at 2 o'clock AT Mr.. Patterns
office.
Frank Leonard spoke 10 the Exchange.
urging them to adopt a newly drawn map
of Butte City, with all additions. The
consideration uf this map was referred to
the committee on enterprise.
Mr.. kemper proposed an advertising
pamphlet with colored covers. which
could be printed at a cost of ~ cents
each. A committee of three was then
appointed to consider this proposed PAM
phlet. Messrs. Cannon, kemper and
Passmore were put on this committee.
The exchange discussed the question of
new rooms. They all seemed TO still feel
favorable to the scheme of taking rooms
Jointly with the mining stock exchange.
This was left, AS before, 20 the executive
committee.
The question as 10 whether all or a part
of the members OF any firm could join the
exchange ELECTED much discussion. The
chairman, Mr.. Curtis, thought that all
members or non of any firm ought 10
be in the exchange. Mr.. Kemper thought
the scheme inadvisable. Ii would breed
trouble. IL was finally proposed that the
cost of advertising be divided among the
firms and not among the individual MEM
bers, and the chair was instructed To APP
point such n committee as he deemed
necessary To wait upon the delinquent
members and collect the regular fees.
The committee as appointed were Mes
srs. Shipper, Lawler and Passmore. The
meeting then adjourned for one week.
