English Sparrows

The United States Department of
Agriculture recommends the follow
ing treatment, Dissolve arseniate of
soda in warm water, at the rate of an
ounce to pint pour this upon as
much wheat rs it will cover in ves-
sci which can be closed so as to pre-
vent evaporation, and allow it to
soak at least twenty four hours. Dry
the wheat so prepared, and it is ready
for use. Three Kernels of this will
kill. Winter is the best time for op-
erations. Other birds are then abb
sent. and sparroWs are hungry,
alighting in focks in the street after
passing teams and along railroad
tracks, where grain is scattered from
wagons and cars. Here poisoned
wheat may be administered with
wholesome destruction to them, and
little danger of harm to anything
else.
fit is found that the birds are too
wary to take the poisoned grain at
first they can be led up to it by feed
ing them at the same hour OF the day
for few days with sound grain as
preliminary. When they are used
to it. and off their guard, throw down
little poisoned Wheat-nOt to much
at once, but Just enough for them to eat
before they have found out that there
is any thing wrong--for you can not
catch them all at the one attempt.
BY this means large percentage is
got rid of at one time. Then begin
with the sound grain again. and after
two or three days use more poison.
BY this means of alternating non.
poisoned grain with the other article,
sparroWs may be killed all through
the winter months just as fast as they
come in from other places, and in
time to be annihilated.

by the Anaconda company. The opin-
ion was current ut first that the sealing
of the mines meant the suspension OF
operations at the smelters. But they
have been running right along without
a skip, on ores furnished by the Syndi-
cate mines, which, II is said on excel
lent authority. could keep up the daily
supply for an indefinite period. The
result has been a gratifying surprise.
Neither the owners of the two mines
nor the public is unmindful of the
fact that the burning of the st. Law

voidable loss of life. Human ingenu-
ity could not devise means for the res
cue of the unfortunate victims. Tn

FAIR TO TAs SUBURBS

One of the changes in methods which
the Butte aldermen propose To make
relates To the levy of costs involved in
highway improvement. Hitherto this
work has been paid for out of the gen.
eral tax. 4 change is proposed and
the city attorney has been instructed
To prepare an ordinance providing that
hereafter the cost of the local improve
ment shall be levied on the property
which is benefited.
The objection that always has been
urged against this plan was presented
Wednesday night ut the council meet
ing. II is that the suburbs have been
paying taxes for years toward highway
improvement in the center of the city.
and that they will bear an unfair bur.
den now If compelled to pay for all i'm
provements by local assessment. This
objection TO the proposed change has a
reasonable look at first, yet il is OF
doubtful merit, after all. OF course,
the arrangement now proposed would
be entirely satisfactory had il been in
force from the first. for then central
property would have paid for central
improvements; but "A start was not
made that way and, il the present sys.

Under that notion the time for achange
to better methods would w come.
But suburban Butte is more than
even to-day for all that it ever has been
assessed in the improvement of central
property. The first impulse given to
prices ON real estate in Butte came
when the title was cleared up on a belt
of property right in the heart of
the town. The advance that has
followed more recently is due to the
active and substantial rebuilding of its
central business section. The fact Is
that, since this advance on property in
the heart of the city started, outlying
property has increased In value, as
measured by to-day's prices, at a much
more rapid rate than has been the case
with central property. Take, for in
stance, building lots on Granite, Broad
way, Park or t;alena streets for a dis
lance either side of Main. They are
higher in price than they were, but the
percentage of advance is much less
than il is on property near MissOula
Gulch, or,if we go I'm the opposite direc-
ton. on building lots i'm Park street
east of the property formerly known as
the Lexington foundry. In other
words, the proportion of increase in
prices has been greater, within two
years, on outlying and suburban prop
erty i'm Butte than on central lots, and
all the benefit enjoyed by all the prop
erty in the city comes from an impulse
that started i'm the center. The fact
that fine residence property near Mis-
soula Gulch, or toward South Butte,
was available two years ago. did not in
crease values on Main street, but the
fact that new business came and new
buildings were started in central Butte
has made available for residences large
tracts of land at both these points,
which otherwise would have remained
next to worthless to this day.
However all this may be, Butte will
move along the line which most cities
have followed by adopting the local
assessment method. Most older cities in
the country originally started out to do
ilkilNdy WIN VII thc kShChoi osSSoo
ment plan. Then the rule was changed
so that owners OH either side of the
street should pay each n third of the
cost and the city one third. Quite re-
