WATER ONCE MORE.

The city council held rather an ami
mated discussion over the water ques
ton at it's session last night. M. S.
Parker, the engineer expert who was
selected at previous session, submitted
report, comprehensive synopsis of
which will be found in another column.
1t will be seen that he has reached the
conclusion that the plant IS a good one
and is ample to supply the needs Of the
city for years to come. This, however,
was not satisfactory to some Of the alder
men who desired TO be Informed as to
the cost Of the property. In connection
with other engineers Mr. Parker will
furnish this data. but he declined to go
it alone, for tho simple reason that no
matter what the standing of any man in
/ the community may have been if he says
a word favorable to tho rights of the wa
ter company he is accused by the minor
Try opposition Of being tool. There is
no need for any such feeling. the qucs-
ton is IA simple one and can readily be
determined. A large number Of citi-
zcns believe that the city should own
and operate the plant. The company is
willing to sell. Let the council find out
the lowest figure at which the works can
be purchased and then let the taxpayers,
at the polls, decide the matter. Delays
and examinations and recriminations are
out of place. The question Of purchase
or no purchase belongs to the taxpayers,
not to the council. Let the taxpayers
! have say. They know what they
want, and upon a subject Of this magni,
tudc can be relied upon to look after
their own interests. 4 stated price and
an election are what the case demands.

THE ANACONDA DEAL.

| The future of the Anaconda company
is matter of concern to the people Of
Great Falls as we'll as to those of other
sections Of Montana. Therefore any
gossip regarding the alleged pending
deal for the sale of tine properties to a
foreign syndicate is in order The latest
newe as to the proposition comes from
| New York and 10 found in the editorial
columns of the Mining and Engineering
journal. The article declares that the
editor speaks by authority and, after
giving a statement Of the reorganization
of the company with a capitalization of
530,000,000 and the reasons therefor,
says: AN option running until October
10 next has been gwen certain London
capitalists to purchase large block, but
not d majority of the stock of the COM
pany, on private terms" and then adds:
"No change will be made in the con
troll, the management, or the policy of
the company. No desire was shown by
the foreign investors to change those,
and the Anaconda will continue to be
the largest producer of copper IN the
world, and OF silver also, with the eX-
ccption Of the Broken Hill company in
Australia. The normal average output
is counted at about 10000 600 pounds of
sometimes less, and the silver amounts
to from ! Is TO l20 ounces, with about
| bali an ounce of gold per ton of copper.
With clectroIytic refining all the gold
and silver are saved. The question of
erecting additional smelling and cleo
trolytic refining plants at some other
point than Anaconda has long been
mootod, but it seems to be doubtful
whether, since the company now owns
its own coal mines and has therefore
comparatively cheap fuel, there would
be any advantage in carrying the crude
material to distant point for treatment
even though power were Ubtaiuahle at a
lower cost than at Anaconda. At pres
cnt about half the output Of the mines
is refined at Baltimore, Nd, and the
other half at Anaconda, where the works
have been very successfully run by Mr..
II. Thofrhrn, the well known electro.
metallurgist.
This is given for what it is worth, but
it is worth reading Exception must be
taken, however, to the misleading state
ment regarding coal and railroads. The
developed coal fields of the com pany are
at Belt and its railroad only runs from
Butte to Anaconda, distance of %
miles, therefore il would be economy to
locate refinery at this point, where
both water and coal are available. What
tho future may bring forth We do not
know, but there is reasonable doubt in
our mind that the present management
will surrender control of their great and
productive plant.

4 NNYI-sNlOE ING.

The latest and best, or, rather, worst
mistake of the codes has just been dis
covered by Attorney George Haldorn of
Butte, who is counsel for the Montana
Union. This road is not so much of a
bloated corporate monopoly as it once
was, still it has an existence, does some
business and can afford to pay a lawyer
else llaldorn would not bo in it's employ
in that capacity. While lialdorn was
searching the codes for some point that
would possibly be to the benefit Of his
tion 90S of the civil code, which reads as
follows:
mo railroad company shall transport
in this state on any of its passenger
cars any lucifer matches, oil of vitriol
gunpowder or any other goods of a dan
gerous nature"
The penalty provided for violation is
81 600 for the first offense $1,000 for The
second and from 5000 to $4,000 for the
third.
The attorney read this over very care
fully, pondered upon it and then sent G
communication to the officers of the
Montana Union, calling attention to the
section quoted and stating that he had
reached the conclusion that under its
provisions the company must under pair
of the penalty prohibit passengers from
carrying more than one match apiece.
He bases this conclusion upon the idet
that matches" necessarily means any
number in excess of one match. If this
law is enforced to the letter, smokers
will bave to be abandoned on the Mon
tana trains, and come to think of it
there is no reason why it should not bt
construed as strictly and enforced al
rigidly as any other of the laws

If there was ever case in the crimi-
nal annals Of Montana in which the pun
ishment did not tit the crime it is the
case OF the brute Weir, Who last night,
self convicted, was sentenced by Judge
Benton to imprisonment for life. The
assault of tha monster upon a girl child
whom untindly nature had made sight
less ppeechee3 and physically helpless
was one Of the most terrible acts that
has ever been recorded in this state.
That he escaped with HE LIE is due to
tho regard sheriff Dwyer bad for his
oath If office. Had the sheriff obeyed
bis instincts as a man rather than his
duty AS an officer, the trembling, COW
ardly wretch would not have lived to
make plea before any earthly tri-
hungl. Legally, tine sheriff WIS right;

"Shall Cuba BE Free" is the title OF
a petition that is now being circulated
all over the United States, and which
will be presented to congress when it
assemblies The petition is moderate i'll
tone and only asks that the United
States government shall accord to the
struggling patriots recognition as bel
hgercnts. 1t is within reason to say
that nine tcnths of the American people
are in favor of such recognition and are
hopefu, that the pending struggle will
culminatc in the Independence Of the
isle. A copy Of the petition is in THE

enough Of the cause to append their
names can do SO by ca ling.

Yesterday was Great Falls day at the
fair, and in all respects it was an occa
sion that will be long remembered by
those who participated, and the number
was large. The weather was perfect, the
sun shone brightly, yet its heat was

wind, making the pleasures all the more
enjoyable. From noon until 4 o'clock

LAND AND MINING DECISIONS

Furnished by w. ID. Harlan, Land and
Mining Attorney, Washington, ID. G.
The following is digest Of recent de-
cisons by the United States land depart
ment:
Sale of improvements is evidence Of
abandonment.
Charge of abandonment should be
specific.
An alien can acquire no right to pub
lie land before declaration of intention
to become citizen, and his subsequent
qualification will not relate back to the
exclusion Of an intervening adverse right
The execution of power Of attorney 10
sell does not constitute alienation OF
title.
In the absence Of an adverse claim an
entry made in good faith will not be can
celed although it includes nonirrigabIe
land
Proof as to character of coal land must
show the actual production of mineral,
Proof that adjoining lands have pro
duced coal will not answer.
Mill site location must be made sam
as mineral claim.
Non mineral character of land claimed
as Il mill site must be shown.
Failure 10 comply with local regu.a
tions is matter for protest or adverse
suit.
A hearing may be ordered TO dctcrnlju"
whether there has been due compIIal r
with law, though the charge is not na'
until after entry.

THE old Anaconda company, under the
management of Marcus DAILY, will con-
tinue to operate the remainder of it's pos
sessions, and will no doubt build another
immense smelling plant at 4 point Sc
lected some time ago just as to the
exact location it is hard to get at, but it

this great company forebodee good nows

the most influential and financially strong

PLAYING IN LUCK.

The appointment Of Andrew F.. Bur
leigh by Judge Hanford OF Washington
as the single receiver of the Northern
Pacific recalls the fact that Miles City,
Mont, was, in the not very long ago.
honored with citizen of that name, and
that when he departed, his objective
point was Seattle. The new receiver and
the old Miles City boy may not be one
and the same person, though the coinci-
dence of names is striking. Those who
knew Andrew in Montana will wonder
what special ability he has developed to
fit him to take charge of the manage
snent OF so great a corporation. Upon
one thing, however, all his old friends
will agree and that is, If be is the fortu-
nate man, he is fully competent to re-
ceive the princely salary, and that is
probably the most important duty of a
receiver, unless it be fighting in the
courts to hold his fat job, and that is
done by attorneys who are provided at
the expense of the bond and stock
holders.

NO MORE D|PHTHER|A CASES
Physicians Confident that No Person
Outside Of the Taylor Residence
Is in Danger.
Some OF the Schools Closed for q
Few Days-Tayl0r Children
Recovering.


From Wednesdays Daily.
The two Taylor children, who are ill
with diphtheria, made marked improve
ment yesterday. In the case of the lit
tie girl, about 0 years old, the men,
branes have separated and, unless re-
lapse occurs, she will recover. The lit
tie boy is resting easily and improved
yesterday.
Every precaution has been taken to
prevent the spread of the disease. The
Taylor residence is strictly quarantined.
Every case Of absence of pupil from
school was reported to the board of
health and investigation was made. No
symptoms of diphtheria have been dis
covered in any other than the Taylor
family in the city.
The period of incubation of the dis
ease is fourteen days, and if the Taylor
children contracted the disease in school,
their schoolmates would have been ex-
posed, and someone would probably have
been attacked by the disease by this
time.
Acting upon the advice of the board
Of health, the school board yesterday
ordered the schools in the Whittier build
ing and those in the Ninth avenue south
building to be closed for the remainder
of the week. These were the only build,
ings where the Taylor children attended.
No alarm was caused by this precau-
tionary step, and, as many parents were
ncedlcssly frightened and refused to
permit their children to sttcnd school
for a few days, the board thought it ad-
visabIe to close the schools until there
was ii full attendance.
All sorte Of rumors were alloat yester-
day, which proved to be lies.
Physicians state that the climate Of
Great Falls ana prevailing conditions
are very unfavorable to the development
of diphtheria, even when persons are eX-
posed. This was shown in 1890, and the
physicians are confident that this year
the disease was caused by conditions at
the Taylor residence and that there is
no further danger.
In order to satisfy the friends of pa.
tents, the management of the Columbus
| hospital has requested that no ono visit
the hospital until further notice is given.
While not fearing any outbreak, the
board Of health desires to caution all
citizens against needless exposure and
recommends that physician be immedi-
ately called whenever any person shows
| even slight indisposition.

A grand jury in the District of Colum-
bia has recommended tho re-establish-
mont Of the whipping post at the seat Of
the national government, and tho judge
Of the criminal court has to d degree en-
dorged the recommendation. While
there arc, no doubt, some crimes that
merit such punishment, tho general
sentiment viii frown it down. AS a
matter of fact, the general sentiment, in
so far as it expresses itself, has more
sympathy for the brute who beats his
wife than it has for tho victim OF his
brutality. A return to the whipping
post might do considerable good, not
