tbera was a conflict between his Official
oath and a political pledge, he would cast
the latter TO the winds without any hesl-
taucv. He maintained that the Super
yisors had not violated any pledge. and
that there was no need of any further re-
duction. The reason why the revenue OF
the company In 1898 was not reduced
under the new order was because there
we're 100 new rate-payers. He also con-
tended that the board should take into
consideration the people who lived in the
bigb-level district by allowing the Spring
provements by constructing new res
ervoirs.
Supervisor Kennedy seconded Super
visor Rogers motion. He said that he
voted against the Rogers order last year
because he thought it did not make a suffi-
Gent reduction. He still believed so, but
a different phase of the question presented
itself this year, and that was thousands OF
citizens had petitioned for water in the
Clarendon Heights and Holly Park dis
tTcts and the company would not extend
its mains unless the present rates were
maintained.
Supervisor DundOn said he would vote
for the Rogers order il he could get posi-
tive assurance that the company would
as it was the reduction was only on paper.
He did not see any satisfactory order be-
fore the board.
Supervisor Stanton said that be agreed
with Supervisor Dundon that if there was
no lowering of house rates there was no
reduction at all. He thought the only way
to regulate the water question was by an
exclusive meter rate. Then all ratepayers
would be on the same level and justice
would be done to all.
A vote on the Rogers order by the COM
mittee resulted as follows: Ayes-Rogers,

JULIUS PHILLIP NORTON.

The youngest child of Luman p. and
Alice l.. Norton died suddenly, at Oak
land, Cal, of rheumatism of the heart,
on the evening of the eight instant. in
his twenty-first year.
This young life, just on the threshold
of promising manhood, and in which So
many hopes were conferred, was familiar
to many in this community, where his,
happy disposition and humorous sayings
and doings will long be remembered.
About six years ago, he had severe
attack of this same terrible malady,
which, it was supposed, he had entirely
outgrown, but which had been lurking
in his system only to thus suddenly
strike him down.
1t is less than three years since he left
this village, generous hearted boy, ap-
parently strong and vigorous, eager to
get out into the world and battle for
himself. In his adopted home, he had
been singularly fortunate in his sur
roundings and friends, and had won the
esteem of his associates and employers.
His untimely death is a severe blow to
his family and especially to his heart
broken mother, between whom and her
boy have always existed the strongest
bonds of love and sympathy.
The body is expected to arrive on Sat
urday, and the funeral services will be
held at his home on Pleasant street, at
o'clock p. m, Sunday.
The burial will be private.

The basis of resumption Of the Mon
tana National bank Of Helena. which re-.
opened its doors for business some two
months ago. was a stipulation with its
creditors that the mounts due them
should he paid IN four equal install
ments, the first payment Of twenty five
per cent being due on the LIST of June
next. and the other three al intervals of
six months thereafter. It is a most
gratifying Indication of the recuperatIve
powers Of this commonwealth. and of
the city Of Helena in particular. that
the bank now announces its intention Of
anticipating the first installment by five
months. being now ready to pay all
claims that under the stipulation would
not be due until June l. 1894. The bank
now has on hand in coin and currency
applicable to payment of the claims on
which it asked extensions. an amount
equal to - per nj of the whole amout
OF the claims. which makes it quite
probable that he second, third and
fourth installu ants will be speedily paid.
