A CHANGE SOUGHT.
The Court House Should Face
the Avenue.
4 PETITION TO THAT EFFECT.

The August County Board to be Asked to
ing From Fifteenth Street Namerous
Signatures.
Petitions were placed in circula-
ton yesterday afternoon, which are
being numerously signed, asking the
county board to change the frontage
of the proposed new court house
from Fifteenth street to Third ave-
nue.. While, as stated, a great num-
Der of our citizens and taxpayers
are appending their signatures to the
rolls, this is no assurance that it
will be given even respectful consid-
GRAFTON, if the present board passes
upon it. judging by the way labor's
petitions were treated, but it is only
hoped they will have weight.
An Unpopular Arrangement.
Had the board had the goodness to
consult the wishes of the public in
stead of going ahead in its peculiarly
exclusive manner in the court house
matter, it would probably not have
faced the building east, but north,
VAN AOuloSC Ou CCCOuu ave-.
nue.. as has been heretofore stated
in THE ARGUS was the popular de.
sire. But the board was not paying
much attention to popular wishes.
1t had its own ideas, and with the
exception of the favored ones, the
force of sentiment was given no
thought.
The County Officers First.
In fact the board aimed to provide
for an interior in accordance with the
views of the present county officers.
who were alone let into its conf
dence, while the members of the bar
who are to use the building for years
to come, were never so much as con-
suited. The comfort of the tenn
porary officers of the county was par
amount to any consideration for the
attorneys, and the building was faced
in such manner as to bring out the
petitions which are receiving the en-
dorsement of the best, and large
percentage of our people. 1t is prop
erly commended that the board has
made an error in the way in which
the building is to front. and it is
earnestly hoped the change may be
possible.

Denkmann Harbor.
The departure of the rivers frozen
surface is always the initial signal
for the boat yardsmen to relieve the
ways of the burdensome loads which
they bear during the winter in the
nature of water craft. An ARGUS
representative paid a visit to Kahlke
Bros. yards yesterday afternoon and
saw the first Of the quartered vessels
lowered into the harbor, where sew
eral craft have also been wintered.
Here the busy season is about at an
end, and it will only be short dura-
ton when the several vessels will
emerge from their winter abode and
glide along the bosom of the old
Mississippi. As in seasons agone,
much has been done here for the i'm
provement and Identification of the
boats, each one of which has either
received a new coat Of paint or some
sort OF repairing.
A New Rafter.
Aside from the seasons repair
work, Kahlke Bros. have just COM
pleted q new rafter, the new City of
Winona. whese boiler and deck were
taken bodily from the hull of the
old Winona. The old hull will be
converted into barge. The new
boat was construct ID at a cost of 81
900 for Yeoman Bros. & Hodgins, of
Winona, MINI. In speaking of the
qualities of the vessel, which is all
in readiness for launching, John
Kahlke remarked: mo finer boat
has ever travelled the Upper Missis-
sippi; she is excelled in no particu-
ar-appearance, handling, capacity,
speed, light draught or general util-
ity."
A barge to be used for rapids SER
vice has also been constructed at a
cost to Uncle Sam of $3.50.

Most StrenuousIy.

BUTTE, Dec. 3i.-The bill which was
hled in the United states court at Helena
yesterday by the American Loan q Trust
| company, asking for the appointment of
! separate receivers for the Oregon Short
Line and the Utah Northern railroads has
occasioned good deal of discussion in
local railroad circles, as Butte is directly
interested in the matter The receivers
OF the Union Pacific propose 10 fight tho
| application with all possible energy, and
the outcome is awaited with great deal
of interest and some anxiety.
IL is well known fact, among railroad
men at least, that the line between Butte
and Ogden is the best paying piece of
road on tho entire Union Pacific system,
ana at least n portion of its earnings have
always been devoted TO making good the
losses OF other parts of the system.
Largely on account of Butte's Importance
as commercial center the Utah Northern
always has been and always will be n
valuable piece of property. The Oregon
Short line, which extends from Granger,
Wyo., where it branches off from the
main line of the Union Pacific to Hunt
ington. Ore, is also good piece Of road
and Is annually operated at a profit.
ms being the case, the effort to secure |
a separate management for the two best |
paying pieces of road in the Union Pacific |
system is regarded with considerable an |
prehension. Tho O. ). l.. and u, n. |
were formerly operated as separate
branches, but in 1891 they were consoli-
dated under the Union Pacific manage
ment and w. II. Bancroft was appointed
general superintendent of the Joint di-
vision. The American Loan and Trust
company are the second bondholders of
The road and not the first, as was stated
IN yesterdays dispatch from Helena.
Some time ago the first bondhoders ap-
piled for receivers and S. II. II. Clark.
%. w. Mink and T.. Ellery Anderson, the
receivers of the Union Pacific, were
appointed. These appointments were
not satisfactory to the American
Loan and Trust company, who filed a bill
In the United States court at Portland

ment of separate receivers for the q. S. l..
4 L. N, and similar bills have been filed
N the federal courts at Helena. Boise and
salt Lake. The application filed at Port
and is set for bearing Jan. 10, and as that
S the court of original inquiry its decision
Will govern. If the application is granted !
we'll posted railroad men believe that Cen
eral Super ntendent Bancroft will be ap-
pointed as one receiver. The Union Pa
;lfic receivers, however, propose to fight
he application for separate receivers to
he bitter end.

ArtifciaIIy CoIored Butter.

/ rom the chicago Record.
large proportion of the rich. golden
butter, which looks so tempting done ur
in neat packages, is artifcially colored.
Many customers of the dairy butterman
do not like pale butter, SO the enterprisinp
daryman gives his product an appetizing
yellow tinge by mixing up with it tannottc
and other butter dyes. Oleomargarine.
according TO the testimony which was
given, is not artificially colored, because
its color is given it in the ordinary process
Of manufacture. Now it is said that the
makers of butterine and oleomargarine.
OF which thousands of tons have been
manufactured in Chicago, are preparing
to proceed against dairymen who color
their butter, thus turning upon them tho
very weapon which the buttermaker hoped
would be effective in driving the "poor
