CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS,

The City Treasurer's Report Received
Extension of Water Mains.
The city council met in regular session
Tuesday, with Mayor Dickerman pre-
siding. Aldermen Germ, Rowen, Bridges,
Webster, Albrecht and Burghardt were
present.
Police Magistrate Hugs report for July
was read and accepted. According to
this report there were 90 convictions for
violation of the various ordinances. OF
these "a were committed to Jail and 8
were ordered to leave town. During the
month $500 we've collected in fines.
The city treasurer's report for May,
June and July was read. During May
$S41 were collected for licenses and dur.
ing June 1851. The report was referred
to the auditing committee.
A petition for the extension of water
mains from Fourth street 400 feet east on
Third avenue north, signed by Messrs.
Russell, Phelps, Crosby and others was
referred to the committee on streets, al.
leys and sidewalks. Further discussion
of the extension of water mains resulted
IN Il motion for this committee to adver-
tise that they would receive and consider
petitions for extensions for one week and
after that time no petition could be con-
sidered this year. The general opinion
prevailed that the city had already done
enough in that direction for one year.
A petition from Robt. Vaughn for per-
mission to erect Il building on lot Z,
block 1857, was allowed.
A petition from the property-owners in
blocks 366 and $3.50 for building q lateral
sewer through those blocks was allowed.
The combined bid of the Leader and
TRIBUNE publishing companies for the
city printing was rejected. .
On motion of Alderman Webster the
council offered to pay each paper ~
cents per line for legal notices and adver-
tisements, the same to be published in
both papers.
Alderman Webster offered for the ap-
proval of the council, the plat of the
third addition to the city of Great Falls.
The plat was examined and approved
subject to the approval of the city engin-
eer. This addition extends from Ninth
avenue north to Third avenue south and
eastward from Fifteenth street to Twen-
tieth street. 1t includes 4S blocks.
A petition from Babcock & Dunlap for
a building permit was refused on the
grounds that the plans were not in &C.
cordance with the city ordinance.
The following bills were allowed and
warrants drawn for the amounts:

President j. j. Hill Of the Great North

gard to extending the Belt mountains
branch into Neihart and Barker. He
said the work would be undertaken at

earliest possible day. From Monarch to
each of these camps the distance is from
IL to IA miles, so that the total amount of
road to build will not exceed % miles.
This will not be a long task when the
push and energy of the Montana Central

who have looked forward to that happy
cOnsummation for many years.

How They Relieve Tourists Who Wear

The inspectors at the New York Gus
tom-house made big haul recently.
says Texas Siftings. These inspectors.
observed that Mr.. Nitschke, an elegant
ly dressed German who had just
come over on the steamer Elbe, walked
in a very peculiar manner. He was ex-
plored for results, and about $4,000
worth of diamonds, jewelry, etc., were
found secreted in his shoes.
Even the female sex, usually so de-
void of all duplicity, cannot refrain
from trying to swindle the Government.
Not long since a lady whom we will call
Mrs. Jones, landed in New York from an
European tour, when she was accosted by
gentleman wearing a blue coat who
turned out to be minion of Uncle Sam.
He told Mrs. Jones that she was injur-
ing her health by carrying too much
wearing apparel on her person. He in
vited her to come in and take off some
Of her things and stay awhile with the
lady of the establishment.
After Mrs Jones took off her cloak,
the lady caught the end OF piece OF
black silk, and she pulled on it until
Mrs. Jones began to spin around faster
and faster and faster until thirty-seven
yards of black gros-grain silk was un-
wound from her. Then the old cocoon
wanted to go away, but the hospitable
lady took off some of her things and
persuaded her to stay awhile longer
The next things she took off were ten
tablecloths and a pair of lambrequins
Then twelve meerschaum pipes were
unbuttoned from the region of her spine,
and from somewhere south of her equa-
tor were peeled seven lace shawls. AT
the conclusion of the ceremonies she
looked much thinner than she did when
she landed.

band, who was an invalid, while the
young bucks and squaws were enjoying

sensible words which All Young Authors

am very frequently asked Whether
the newspaper is the best starting point point
for young authors, and in this question
lies, in nine cases out Of ten, Q grave
instrumentation, writes Edward w. Box.
in the Ladies Home journal. Many
young writer's believe that work re-
iected by the monthly magazine will
find market with the daily newspaper.
IT seems to be taken for granted that
the same degree of care is unnecessary
for newspaper work as Tor magazine
writing. 1.-THE newspaper dies with the
day, the magazine lives for month, =
is the general feeling, and hence the I'M
preston that ephemeral work will find
ready market with the newspaper
1t has been my pleasure to write for
the newspaper press of America for six
or seven years. and give young writer's
leaf from my experience when say to
them: Do not allow yourselves to believe
that minor work will find favor with the
modern American newspaper. There is
just as much demanded of writer in
the newspaper editorial Office as in that
of the monthly magazine. A writer
commits the greatest mistake of her life
when she looks upon. the newspaper as
graduating school to the magazine
The same standard of grammar and ex-
preston set by the magazine holds good
with newspapers.
Where the newspaper offers to the
young writer an advantage over the
magazine, is in it's wider field, and its
larger capacity. Publishing thirty
times against the single issue of a mag
azine, the newspaper naturally absorbs
more material, and writer's chances
are CORRESPONDENCE better. Then, too,
subjects which are out of range of the
magazine fall directly within the scope
of the newspaper. This is specially
true of timely articles. The magazines
of to-day with their large calculations,
and the necessary slower process OF
printing, are prepared so far in advance
as to make it impossible for them to get
close enough to timely happenings to
make their discussion of them fresh
and interesting. With the newspaper
this is, of course, different, and tits pre-
cisely in it's ability to treat OF what is
latest and freshest wherein lies it's
strength, and in these respects the field
is necessarily broadened to the writer.
But bear in mind, this advantage is
only one of greater capacity, not of less
requirement Disappointment can be
no more certain than when manuscript
is sent to newspaper editor with the
belief that he is less critical, or that his
constituency is less exacting than is the
case with the monthly magazine.
