why they did not go to work they in

had no work for them. Many OF them
obtained lodging and temporary board

claims to have left New York on July
81 without a cent and on a wager Of
$1,000 that he could thus reach Dawson
City within eight months. He claims
to be. and no doubt Is. a correspondent
of the New York World. He also says
that he is a member Of the French Geo
graphical society and gives the name of
Charles Brouard. His ~parentage Is
French. but he has become a naturaliz-
ed citizen of the United States and
has picked up American ways to an
alarming extent. as his present enter
prise witnesses. He has, in the course
of his travel from New York, passed
through Montreal, Ontario, Winnipeg.
Moosejaw and Minot. and intends TO go
to Vancouver from Montana and then

unavoidable expenses OF his trip by

Lieutenant Baker. who was promoted

crutches for support and his general
appearance indicates that he will be a

FOR DAMAGES
Filed By 0alena Street Property
Owners.
THERE ARE MORE COMING
The Aldermen Are Beginning to Think
That It Would Be Cheaper to
FIJI Up tho Street
Again.

The city fathers are beginning TO
think Il would pay them to Ill up East
Galena street again. "A good deal OF
grading was done there last summer In
the belief that IL would improve the APP
pearance OF the street and help advance
Butte. But claims for damages are
now coming in thick and fast from
property owners there and the outlook
Is hat IL would be cheaper for the city
TO MI in the street once more rather
than settle all these claims.
Last week the claim vas presented
of L. L. Mahoney for 1000 for dam
ages caused to his property by estab-
fishing and changing the grade. The
claim was referred to the judiciary
committee to consider and no action
has yet been k in the matter. Yes
terday two more claims were filed by
property owners on East Galena street
between Oklahoma avenue and Atlantic
street. Both claimants live on the
south side of the street and their
houses have been left clear up in the
air by the lowering of the street I'm
front of their doors. They claim that
they were compelled to build retaining
walls TO keep their lots from falling
away and their houses caving in. They
also had to put in new water n
o m Besides these expenses they
claim that by reason of being left up
so high their property has greatly de-
preciated in value and cannot rent for
as much as il did before the street was
graded.
One Of the claimants is George L.
Gagnon, who itemizes his claim as fol-
lows:
Damages to fence ................ 25
Damages to water connections with
building .........-r .-........... ~
Cost OF retaining wall .............. az
Depreciation of rental vale ........ $50
Depreciation in value OF property. 500
Total ssss
The other lain is from Polydor Vad-
nais. who itemizes his claim thus:
Damages to water connection. .....$ 20
Loss in rental value .............. 250
Depreciation in value of property. 500
1Otdi ...-....s-.s... .so-'
This makes altogether s3.Is7 which
has been filed In claims. AS the claims
are filed through lawyers the claimants
doubtless intend to bring suit in case
their claims are not allowed. 1t is un-
derstood also that a number of other
property owners are preparing state
ments of their supposed damages and
will have them filed in a few days. The
council will not meet again until one
week from tomorrow night and action
in regard to the claims will be taken at
that time.

Good CrOy,

Mr.. w. S. Spcarman, near Silver
Street, sowed new variety of wheat
this year on three acres of land. He
harvested 148 dozen bundles and
threshed, S5 bushels. And yet there
are people in this country who say we
can't make wheat. This is Il good crop
and we would like for Mr.. Spcurman to
tell us how he cultivated it, and how
much and what kind Of fertilizer he
used and whether he thinks it was the
kind of wheat planted that made tho
yield. The farmers of this country
must make more of their own iour, and
such yields as this will encourage
them to do it.
