CLEVELAND was the first presi-

the flag of his country lowered af-
ter it had once been raised, and
this is about the only act of Cleve-

has remained, and where McKinle !
has raised it tie flag will remain
also.

things by halves. Their picnic Sunday,

season. They have selected Twin
Bridges. the prettiest spot in the state,
as the place to hold II. You and your
family should go. Be sure and take the
little ones. You can leave the mosquito
netting and snake-bite cure at home
you will have no use for either. One
hour in the grand old grove, within a
stones throw OF the depot. will more
than repay you for the expense. You
can enjoy the music of the famous Alice
band, assisted by the local band of Twin
Bridges. You can dance in the tree
covered pavilion. You can take part
i'm the contests for the splendid prizes
offered by Butte merchants, or you can
tempt the fnny tribe with your Turing
AIT In the Big Hole river. III you go
you will enjoy a ride which for scenic
grandeur of mountain and valley has
no equal in Montana. All this. and
more, too. The round trip for s1.25, and
the little folks for so cents each.

interest you.
"One nan in Company y OF Butte
had his umbrella stuck through his
knapsack, and in full view OF the
crowd. Many remarks were made
about that one solitary umbrella. Later
on | saw him at the dock as the com
pany was going aboard. and asked
about his umbrella. He old me that
his name is T. G. Clarity. worked in
the Mountain Con. bought the umbrella
at the ID. ]. Hennessy Mercantile com
pany and intended To take it to Manila,
use ii there and bring IL back again.
II must be a mighty good umbrella

little event and the tour that your UNI

CENTER STAR NINE.
Rumors of a Pending Sale of the Property
In which Butte Is Interested.


From the Spokesman-Review.
Rumors have been rife for several
DAYS of deals pending for the sale Of
the Center sta mine in Rossland camp,
The Center star office lis in Butte, and
the most OF the stock Is held there. II
is said that the property is wanted by
the War Eagle people, but that there is
considerable difference between vendor
and purchaser. and prospect of con-
summation is therefore not considered
favorable.
There was a report on the streets last
evening that the Center Star deal had
been closed and hat the War Eagle
syndicate had acquired the property.
The rumor could not be traced to a re-
liza Bile source. however, and in Rossland
nothing confrmatory could be obtained.
Letters were received in the city yes
terday from the Butte office OF the
Center Star company showing that the
had. M to Saturday. refused
all offers made for the property. II is
known here that a representative Of
the War Eagle syndicate has been in
Rossland for the past few days. and
il is therefore possible that the rumor
OF yesterday may have had something
more substantial than g~uesswork for a
foundation. II is said hat the British
American corporation would like to
have the property added to the long
list OF tina s~yndicate's valuable hold
ings. but has not been able to agree
with Oliver Durant as 10 the price. II
Is further reported that a French syn-
dictate has been dickering for the prop
erty. That the mine Is for sale Is not
denied. but II is said that Mr.. Durant,
the heaviest stakeholder. holds the
~property at 81. 500. 900 and has thus far
shown little disposition TO reduce the
price as suggested by the would-be
urchaears
