To the editor
SIR:-I wish to ask j. L Hendrickson.
through your paper, to tell Just what TO
DO IN regard to the merry-g o-round,
and what way to keep the money inside
the town, which he says is carried away
by the steam merry-go-round. j. Il.
hendrickson claims that il has caused
children TO steal. II any child stole
money he or she most likely had the
habit before the merry-go round came To
town. Again | wish to ask j. f. Hem
Erickson to tell the people Just what to
do TO prevent such evils az the merry-po-
round, the balloon ascension and many
other amusements from coming here.

and Calumet. There il a great field of

The Making Of Az Handles.

One Of the things that machine can
cot turn out to the satisfaction of the
consumer is an AK handle. From pioneer
days down to the present time man
who learns to make a satisfactory ak
handle is regarded in the neighborhood
as an indispensable parsonage. Chop
pers say there is slight" in the shap-
ing Of an Ak handle Ia accordance with
the grain Of the timber which ma
chine can never do, and, indeed. very
few people can accomplish it.
An AK handle looks very simple in
construction, and many man has said
to himself that nothing could be easier
than to shave out an elegant ak handle.
He continues in that belief until he ex-
periments. When the handle is finished
and placed i'll the AK, the artisan sud-
denly realizes that he has deceived him
self. He undergoes radical "change of
heart" and decides to let some one else
occupy the field in that very particular
line of work.
A man who was noted all over this
country for years and years as the only
ak handle maker of the times was Adam
Anglemeyer, ST., who has been dead
eight or ten years, People compelled
him to make AK handles long after he
was too old to work with any degree Of
pleasure. A hardware clerk says that
even now they have calls for angle
meyers handles" the customer not ap.
parently aware of the fact that ne is not
still living.
Making good AK handles may not be
the most brilliant trade man can fol.
low, but he becomes indispensable, fills
want, is a benefaotor, SO to speak, and
this is more than can be said of many
people in the world who are much more
pretentious and not half SO .eful. -

SALT LAKES SCHOOLS.
Professor Kern Visits the Teachers There
and Likes the Place.

Superintendent Kern of the Butte
schools has been visiting the Salt Lake
schools. The Herald of that city has
the following to say about him:
A most interesting gentleman in the
person OF Superintendent Kern of the
Butte schools visited this city yester-
day. He was taken in hand upon ar
rival at the Cullen by Superintendent
Millspaugh and during the day visited
all interesting places, spending most
of the time in the schools. He devot-
ed the whole morning to the high
school. making an impromptu speech
at that place. He said: "Notwith-
standing my looks. I am a school SUI
perintendent." He spoke also OF this
beautiful city, and said that 1t re-
minded him of that place the Lord had
kissed and left a beauty spot.
He then spoke in a very earnest
manner concerning education in gen.
eral, and compared the educational life
of a man to the four years of higher
school work. He urged the scholars to
work hard for. said he, while one is
green, he may grow" Throughout the
talk the gentleman brought in some
very witty illustrations and sayings,
and his whole address abounded in
quiet eloquence and weighty facts,
proving what deep thinker the man
is. He was seen at the hotel later, and
said. Yes, i have a special purpose
IN visiting your city. Every year 1
take a trip TO a different place In order
TO get innovations to introduce into the
school system at Butte.
Il heard a great deal about the
schools of Salt Lake, and especially of
the drawing and physical culture de-
partments. 1 had high hopes of seeing
fine system when came here, and
must confess that what l have seen
far surpasses my expectations.
II like your manner here of having
supervisors over each general depart
ment. 1t hvens up any teachers who
may wish to break through in the
easiest way. and IL keeps up a great
amount of interest. Miss Holten Is a
wonder and an expert, and the city
should be proud OF having such a SUI
pervisor for the younger grades.
When l reach Butte / shall make a.
full report of all I have seen, and sug-
gest that some OF your ways be in
troduced into our system.
Il am thoroughly in love with your
city. and this whole beautiful valley
and mean to bring my wife down some
time in June.
II have in this bundle a large
amount of valuable data and some
specimens of work which / shall use
on my return home"

STARTING In EARLY
Much Activity in Building Operations
in February.
THE OUTLOOK FOR SUMNER
The Indications Point to a Year of
Great Growth In Population and
Homes Contractors and
Carpenters.
HE OUTLOOK FOR SUMMER

Judging by the building activity dis
played during the month of February.
this is going to be Butte's banner year
in building. About rs permits for
building were issued during that
month. which is the greatest number
ever issued in a February in Butte's
history. Naturally most of these per-
mits were for small buildings and re-
pairs and additions, but the number
is an indication of confidence and of
prosperity, and there is a great deal of
talk of buildings to be put up. 1t is
said that two or three extensive blocks
will be added to Butte this year. but
no definite information on the subject
is as yet obtainable. Plans have al
ready been made for a $1,000 addition
to the Hale house. 1t is also said that
the Butte General Electric Light COM
pany will erect a fine block in East
Broadway on the site Of the old black
smith shop.
Butte is one city in the Northwest
which Is not over built. There is
scarcely a house for rent to be found
in the town. Lodging houses are well
filled up, the hotels have scarcely any
room to spare and 1t is estimated that
Butte's population is increasing at the
rate of about 300 each month. 1t is
apparent therefore that more buildings
must be had, and every indication is
that there will be plenty of work in the
building line.
One thing must, however. be taken
into consideration by those who may
contemplate building this season, and
that is that contracts will not be as
cheap as they were last season. The
Bricklayers union and the Masons'
union have both adopted resolutions
that they will not this season accept
contracts from the carpenters, and
they have so notified the Carpenters
union. 1t is claimed that last season
mechanics of all kinds lost money on
most of their work, and that in many
cases the bondsmen had to make good
the deficit. II is claimed that con-
tracts for buildings were let cheaper
than ever before and IL is the inten-
ton to have contracts made this year
so there will be some profit on them.
The bricklayers and masons lay the
blame for this condition of things on
the carpenters, who took the contract
for most of the buildings erected last
year. The carpenters, it is claimed,
would take the whole contract and
then sub-let the contract for the stone
and brick work. The bricklayers and
stonemasons claim that in this way
they got much the worst of IL, and this
season they will only accept contracts
from the owners or builders direct. The
carpenters will be forced doubtless to
agree to this proposition. and conse-
quently persons contemplating building
will have to make separate contracts
with the carpenters for the wood work
and painting and with the bricklayers
and stonemasons for their work 1t is
understood that all mechanics will fig
ure somewhat higher than last year.

OF The Senator" and the perform
ance as given by the Frawley company,
the San Francisco Examiner says:
THE tide of prosperity is still at the
flood and there is a pleasant atmos-
phere of contentment at the Columbia,
where the excellent all-around produc-
ton of The Senator has found great
favor with large and notably select au-
diences. Indeed. the verdict of appro-
val is so general that the hypercritical
patrons who take comfort in making
comparisons with former productions
are. Ito a great extent, deprived of their
usual enjoyment The play is beauti-
fully mounted. the stage settings being
especially handsome and appropriate;
while the costumes of the ladies are so
rich and charming as to win unquali-
fled admiration from the feminine por-
ton of the audience. With Manager
Frawley's efficient organization per Sc,
there is little or no room for adverse
criticism, as the action of the play
moves with such smoothness and vi
vacity, and the company as whole. is
so satisfactory that considerations Of
personal excellence are almost uncalled
for. All the members of the cast were
all equal to the requirements of their
parts. and gave a decidedly finished
performance"
