THE LAST MOVE A FEELER

II the ordinance for the removal Of
the Hale house from the Third ward
of Butte to the First ward succeeds in
passing the council. the politicians who
are at present running the A p. A. in
this county have some other ordi-
nances up their sleeves which they will

duce. The Hale house ordinance Is
merely a feeler to ascertain whether or
not the aldermen intend to stand by
their organization or ignore its de-
mands. 1t was considered best not to
introduce them all at once but to try
one and If that should pass, then the
others will be successfully introduced
and passed. Some of the A. p. A. aid
ermen have been kicking against the
traces so viciously since last spring
THAT the politicians of the organization
are doubtful of them.

pared and are all ready to be presented

passes are as follows:
