SHARP PRACTICE.
Indulged in by the Butte Council at Wool
stOn's Expense.

Indu1ged in by the Butte Council at Wool
ston's Expense.
BUTTE, April 22.-[Special. The city
council took very unexpected action to-
night, revoking the old Bennett street rail-
way franchise owned by George +. Wool
ston. The franchise in question related to
to the Park street and Broadway tracks,
which have been known as the motor line.
The ostensible reason for the revocation was
that the line had not been operated reg
ulary. Woolston has had men employed
in remodeling the line for electric cars, and
it has not been in operation for about two
weeks. The council took advantage of this
fact, and revoked the franchise. The OBJ
ject of the council is to make the franchise
more binding, stopping forever the running
of steam motors in Butte. and requiring
better service than has heretofore been rem
dered. There will be no trouble about se-
curing another franchise. but its terms
will be far more exactng than the old one.

M,ssouLA, April 22.-L Special. The state
board of land commissioners, now in ses-

for the plating of the school district ad-
joining the city. Az this land has been
settled on by some $50 families, the out
come of the boards work is being watched
with no little apprehension.
The sensation of to-day was the purchase
by the Missoula Mercantile company of the
entire stock of its formidable rival, the
Montana Commercial company. The con-
sideration paid is said to he about $50, 900,
and the deal calls for the transfer of the en-
tire personal interests of the concern, thus
virtually orowding it from the field.

Farm AND FIELD.


From Mcssrs II. +. Miller and NJ. +.
Kesterson, who live in Clay township, we
CLEAN the following information concern
ing the wheat, corn and other crops in
their section of the garden:
Wheat did not come out so well as was
promised. Cutting was much delayed by
wet weather and soft ground, and a few
small patches are left uncut. Many farmers
did not get through till last week. George
Osborn has threshed, getting 20 bushels
to the acre. J. +. Miller only got 10
bushels. The average yield for Clay town
ship is put down at 10 bushel per acre.
Corn is looking well. Seasonable rains
will develope a superb crop. Ten per cent
of the acreage, it is estimated, will be lost
on account of wet spots.
The hay harvest is over, and the grass
put away in fine condition. Not in its
history has Clay township ever harvested
a better crop than this year.
The township is full of hogs and cattle,
and these will go into winter keeping in
excellent condition. Affairs generally
seem to be fiourishing. Flowing for the
next wheat crop has begun, and the farm
er is pushing on for more conquests.
