THEY SAW ANACONDA
Newspaper Men Enjoy a Nice Little
Railroad Excursion.
ON THOSE NEW COACHES
A Visit to the Largest Smeiter In
the World. Lunch at the Finest
Hote! In the West and Real
Nice Time All Around.

A dozen representatives of the Mon
tana press visited Anaconda yesterday as
guests OF the Butte, Anaconda & Pacinc
railroad. The trip was made on the hrst
run out Of Butte of the new train which
was put in service yesterday.
The pencil pushers had been in Butte
attending the state republican conven-
ton and all of them had been working
hard, for the sessions were long and
tedious and most of the gang suffered
from that tired feeling, which made them
hail with delight the invitation to visit
the smelter city.
Vice President Donahoe and Superin-
tendent o. L. Chapman rounded them up
at the Butte hotel at 10:15 O'Clock and
escorted the party TO the depot. Editor
Quinn of the Miner attempted to escape
from the car, but Sam Gordon stood in
the door until the train was in motion
and he scould not get around an argu-
ment of such weight as that, with all his
skill. He was abducted and afterward
did not regret It,
The ride was made in good time. the
beauties of Silver Bow canyon calling
forth universal admiration as they were
noted in passing. At the Anaconda der
pot Auditor Melin and local newspaper
men met the visitors, accompanying them
TO the Montana hotel. Here luncheon
was spread and with a few extra acces-
sories was served in the correct way
which always prevails at that well or
dered institution.
The newspaper men, as usual, were
hungry and thirsty. too. but for the time
being that long felt want was abundant
ly filed.
When the meal was discussed cigars
were added and the guests embarked on
a special electric car for Carroll and a
trip through the wonderful smelters was
made. This is a sight which never fails
TO interest any one. those who have never
before enjoyed IL are amazed by the
mammoth proportions of the works.
Those who have been there before never
fail TO see something new, and the pleas
ure is ever a welcome one.
The visit was hurriedly made because
of the short time allowance, and shortly
after O'Clock they were whisked back
up town and landed at the depot where
the train was held to admit them and re-
turn them TO Butte once more.
On the homeward journey the happy
idea was conceived that the new train
should be christened. and as they saw the
great stacks vanishing i'm the distance
left behind and the valleys and meadows
swiftly rolling by 1t was decided that
henceforth this train should be the Cop
per City Express"
The delegation consisted of Chance l..

ne Knew Ii All.
ON the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald
She looked like the embodiment of
spring as she tripped into an uptown
drug store and asked for a telephone.
She very pret ly said she wouldn't
trouble any to ring up her connec-
tion for hei she knew all about IL.
Give me No. 999 Ninety-sixth street.
please" she murmered. Then she
hung up the receiver and made an ex-
animation of sample of silk she had
been carrying in her purse
The inspection had been quite COM
pleted and the unappreciative person
at No. 999 hadn't responded to the
wire. Then she rang again and. after
a few seconds, said:
II want that number asked YOU
for. oh, yes, 1 did. No. 999 Ninety
sixth street"
the receiver and tried to look uncon-
cerned. The clerks were beginning to
look interested, and when she finally
twisted the crank again there was an
audible litter from the clerks.
She said: II haven't got my number
yet" She looked very much vexed as
she again hung up the receiver on the
hook and began drumming on the
table, One of the clerks volunteered
to get the number for her, but she had
grown frigid and declared that she
needed no assistance. When she rang
the bell it was the signaI for another
smothered laugh on the part of the
force of the store.
mo, 1 didn't get them yet" she
said, and her voice sounded very
sweet, indeed. "Oh, there they are.
Is this the? Is Mr.. there? Yes,
If you please" A pause. "Oh, how do
you do Charley? 1 wanted to call you
up before you got away. Can't go to-
night. Yes, so am l, but 1 will explain
when / see you. Goodbye"
Then she tripped up 10 the counter,
laid down fifteen cents and tripped out
And the clerk that went to the tele-
phone learned that the shrewd young
woman had been talking to herself
only. She must have got tired of wait
ing, and taken that method of escaping
laugh.

ABOUT EASTER LILIES. .
They Are Grown I'm Bermuda and Form "A
Large Part of Its Crop Trade.

They Are Grown In Bernuda and Form "a
Large Part of Its Crop Trade.
From the Washington Star.
Bermuda is the place beyond all others
to consider the lilies, how they grow"
Whether they are indigenous to the soil
or not. they are certainly acclimated. and
under the sunny skies and gracious air of
that island. where falls not hail nor any
snow" they respond to rather indifferent
culture in a manner to make the north
ern grower mad with envy.
With US one stately row of stalks is a
precious possession; they are the aristo-
Gratis of our garden. In Bermuda they
are a crop, like potatoes or onions, and
whole fields lie like drifted snow with
their masses OF white bloom. These fields
are not. indeed. very large. being for the
most part mere dimples in the coral ridge
of which the islands are formed, averag-
ing not more than half an acre in area,
But in these little depressions the thin
soil becomes richer by the washings from
the slopes. and the bulbs flourish accord
ingly. They are planted in rows and cul-
tivated much like potatoes. the weeds be-
ing kept down with a crude implement
called by courtesy a hoe. Ii is interesting
TO note with what precision the bulbs ad-
vertise the soil. the plants becoming
pale and shrunken as soon as they begin
to climb the slope.
At first the commercial value of this
crop lay entirely in the bulbs. which
were shipped to other countries in great
quantities. But in these later years a
new industry has sprung up The blos-
SONS themselves are successfully sent ev-
erywhere. The United States gets the
most Of them. though vast quantities are
sent 10 England. and even the Australian
Easter is frightened by them.
IL must have been American spirit
The Anaconda standard., 1896-05-13

which suggested this new enterprise. OF
course. the Bermudan, with Characters
tic conservatism, strongly opposed IL on
the ground that IL was a rank innovation
and would ruin the bulb trade. As be-
came the descendants of the old Saxon
Witenagemote. they held an assembly
and drew up what Uncle Remus would
call a ''peramble wifi some wharfo'es in
IL, setting forth the dangers of such
course and demonstrating with their er-
ring brothers. Meanwhile, as the bulb
men talked, the bud men kept on jack
Ing, and Easter altars all over the coun-
try were glorihed with the beauty of
Bermuda lilies.
These buds are picked when they are
still quite green and are packed in cube
shaped boxes holding about two dozen
stalks each. Some of these boxes are fur
nished with frames similar to those used
in packing eggs, so that each stalk is
kept separate. There is little advantage
in this, however, and for the most part
the buds are snugly packed with a
sprinkling of kind of sea weed closely
resembling the coarse moss of our bogs
This sea weed is kept in water and
wrung out as IL is used, and keeps the
buds damp. Before packing each case is
lined with large sheet of paper, the
ends OF which are long enough to fold
over the buds after the box is full. A
printed slip of directions is invariably
packed inside of each case, the first line
or which strongly reminds one of the
Celtic signboard warning travellers that
''the ford is dangerous when this board
is out of sight" For these directions in
struct the receiver to put the box, be-
fore opening, into dark, cool place for
time and then to open II very care
fully. AS the box must be opened before
the advice is available. it's value is
slightly impaired.

A vsg Gives Oaicsr Pickle a Merry
Chase.

Chase.
Phil Dunn was arrested by Constable
Pickel for vagrancy yesterday after
noon. While en- route to the court
room the prisoner said suddenly to the
officer. Il guess I'll quit you," and took
to his heels. He was livery sprinter
but the chase was short and the officer
quickly had the nippers on him. They
set out again. AS they neared Main
street Dunn made the plea that he
didn't know his captor was an officer
and begged to have the handouts taken
off while going up the street. Consta
BILE Pickel kindly consented and no
sooner were the handouts removed
than his prisoner made another dash
for liberty. This time he got a better
start and he chose the muddiest route
possible with Pickel in swift pursuit
The officer is a regular mud lark and
in half a dozen blocks once more re-
captured his man and in 80 minutes
had him In Jail under a sentence of 30
days at Deer Lodge from Justice Ken
nedy. Pickel awarded a contract for
putting a polish on his shoes to a syn
dicate of bootb,acks five minutes lat er,
and was in their hands for SO minutes

Celebrated by the Anaconda schools In
Fitting Manner
The Anaconda schools celebrated Arbor
day by planting a dozen trees or more
In each school yard I'm the city. Exercises
appropriate to the occasion were held by
all grades. and most of the trees were
given popular names.
At the High school A. NJ Scott talked
10 the students. He spoke of the pleas
ures and benefits of tree planting, urged
the young folks to study arboriculture
and told many interesting matters about
the growth OF trees. BY way of illustra-
tion Mr.. Scott exhibited sections show
ing the growth OF trees. how each year
a record of the growth Is left and how
the grain Of the wood is made His ad-
dress was very entertaining and instruc-
tive.
No trees were planted in Carroll. but
very interesting exercises were conduct
ed, all Of the children taking part.
