ARE WILLING TO DIVIDE
Proposition for the Construction
Of . Bicycle Path.
BlCYCLISTS TO PAY HALF
The Plan Suggested by Alderman Pas
% Chairman OF the Committee.
The Entire Work VIII
Cost $500.

The members Of the street and alley
committee are willing TO divide up with
the bicyclists in the expense of on
structing a bicycle path. That is the
plan suggested by Alderman Pascoe.
chairman of the committee, and the
committee has practically agreed on
this point.
There are two suggestions made by
the bicyclists. said Mr.. Pascoe yester-
day. ''one is to improve Wyoming
street and the other is to construct n
bicycle path from the foot of Wyoming
street along Front street and the county
roa to a point opposite the Athletic
park. As for improving Wyoming
street. all IL needs is to fill in a few
holes. That can easily and quickly be
done by the street commissioner and
otherwise the street is all right. Then
as for the bicycle path. l would sug-
gest that the bicyclists subscribe 500
and the city will put up $3.50 more. |
think the total cost Will be $500. Now
there are. 500 names signed Ia this petit
ton of the bicyclists. IL each of them
would contribute 50 cents, the full
amount would be raised. Many would
very gladly give 81 n this would bal
dnce some VINO Couiu not contribute AT
all. The city will meet the subscription
Of the ~bicyclists dollar for dollar and
the total sun will be entirely spent for
the construction of a bicycle path"
This matter was talked over inform
ally at a meeting Of the committee On
Friday evening. While no action was
taken on the matter. IL was understood
that the plan would be preached to the
bicyclists and IL IL meets their appro-
val IL will be submitted TO the coun-
Gil.
Mayor Harrington is much in favor
of the plan.
Il hope the committee will make
some recommendation i'm this matter"
said the mayor yesterday. Il CUB
the feasibility of constructing a path
along Front street in South Butte. but
after passing the Montana Union
track there is plenty of room for a
bicycle path on the south side of the
street car tracks. There would have
to be some filling don there. After a
good foundation is made there could
he a couple OF feet of cinders laid,
making a cinder path. which is prob
ably the best for bicycles. The cinders
can doubtless be obtained without ex-
pense. There are great piles of them
ut the gas works. and probably they
would be glad TO have them carted
away. / am ready to do what | can
to help the movement along. The Gin
der path could also serve as a side

A Regular Grain and Stock Exchange
Win Daily Trading.
Way up here or top of the Rockies. in
a mining town, away from agricultural
interests and from the two great stock
c~entSrs. New York and Chicago, there is
a grain and stock exchange (49 West
Broadway, where there is daily buying
and selling of grain and stocks. on mar
gins n on puts and calls, just as in
Chicago n New York. and at the same
fractional brokerage per cent. The quo
tations are posted every five minutes.
and trading is active from the opening
to the close of h market.
All sorts of people trade: the investor
in stocks and grain; the ~speculator. who
studies the market daily and with care:
the farmer. who knows all about wheat
and corn, and the economical man and
woman, who try to improve their condi-
ton by j~udicious investment of a few
dollars every day or two.
There are not many such exclusively
inland n isolated cities that can show
such an exchange with such active buy
ing and selling daily. where both large
and small investors can avail them
selves of the markets Of the world the
same as IL they were in New York or
Chicago.

IN Der.
A Change Of the Date of Meeting of the
Press Association.

fftss a>>beihttou.
The annual meeting Of the state Pres.
association Of Montana will be held In
December next. instead Of in June. M
contemplated. Some time since a move
ment was set on foot to arrange for an
editorial excursion 10 the Transmissis
sippi exposition at Omaha, the trip e
follow the business and literary meet
ings of the association to be held In
Butte. Before concluding such arrange
ments. however. Il was deemed best 10
definitely determine how many mem
bers would take part. To this end Sec
rotary McMurray wrote every member
of the association. with the result that
only six out Of the entire number eX-
pressed a willingness To go on the ex-
cursion. and but four of those agred To
go. After considering the report from
Mr.. McMurray. the executive committee,
having local arrangements in charge,
unanimously adopted a recommendation
to President a. II. Keith that he post
pone the date of holding the annual ses-
sion of the association until mex Deem
Der. Having withheld the date of the
meeting, pending an expression from
the members of the association. Mr..
Keith concurred in the views of the
committee: and the annua gathering of
the editors of the state will accordingly
take place in Butte sometime in Decem-
49, - h',H VI tffH li
the annual summer excursion would
have resulted in a small Tendance up
on the business and literary sessions
held in une and little benefit to the
craft would have resulted from the
meeting.
In view of the war now in progress
and conditions that require almost con-
slant editorial attention. and the fact
that a political campaign viii soon be
under Roadway. the executive commit
tee reasoned that a December meeting
would be fruitful of better results. After
the campaign shall have ended the
newspaper men will have more time to
devote to the objects of the association,
and II Is proposed to give them an en-
joyable time i'm Butte. But aside from
the entertainment which will doubtless
refresh the overworked quill-drivers and
make them feel that Butte sunshine Is a
reality. the literary and business fea-
lures at the December meeting promise
substantial benefit to the association.
Matters Of Importance TO newspaper
men can he thoroughly discussed with
profit to all, and recommendations can
be made to the forthcoming legislative
assembly relative to such changes in the
laws as may be deemed equitable and
just. On the whole, the postponement
of the meeting Will conserve the best
interests of the association and doubt
less meet the hearty approval of a large
majority Of its members.
