BUTTE'S MAYOR WRITES
ABOUT SOME LAME LAWS
To the Editor of The Standard:

To the Editor OF The Standard:
The near meeting of the legislature
suggests the propriety OF calling public
attention TO the law Of the state re-
lating to municipalities. n the powers
granted them. The last session Of the
legislature. held in 1897. made some
sweeping changes in the law of the
state as It before existed. and in some
respects enlarged the powers which
had previously been granted to cities
OF the first-class. and In other respects
defined more specifically the powers
granted them h a had been done under
previous laws. House bill No. 20i. found
on pages 213 to e23. inclusive, contains
most of the changes made in the law
by the last legislature. II is understood
mat this measure was passed after a
conference between the mayors Of the
different cities of the state. assisted by
other officers Of the different city gov
ernments, who participated I'm framing
that act. While this act in many of its
features is doubtless desirable / think
u beyond question but what experience
has demonstrated that Il Is In some re-
spects cumbersome. and in other re-
spects defective. IL is practice alone
which can develop the advantages or
disadvantages derived from n law.
However smooth an act may read. it's
practical utility can be tested only by
experience
The grant of powers to n city gov
eminent stands I'm place Of "A charter
within which the municipal govern
ment may legislate. and beyond which
IL cannot go. The object of a charter,
like that OF a constitution for a state,
Is to lay down certain fundamental
rules which shall be tho guide of those
who lerislate for the city. The trouble
with the legislation Of 1897 is that in
several Of its provisions II attempts TO
De too explicit, attempting to do for the
different city governments what should
have been left for the several city coun-
ellis Organized under the municipal law.
Thus the act I'm question. with n detail
which seems unnecessary. has provided
Tor making connections with gas pipes:
provided the mode I'm which assess
ments shall be levied: defined the diff
ferent kinds OF sewers which shall be
constructed In a city: provided how the
expense Of their construction shall be
borne: provided for the erection of
bridges within the city, and for the SUI
pervision OF the streets of n city. All
these and other kindred matters could,
with advantage, IL is believed, have
been left 10 the discretion Of the differ
ent legislative councils of each city
government At the Same time. some
of It's provisions are most wholesome.

he of great benefit 10 the inhabitants
of every organized city. Thus. the pro-
vision contained in section n of the
act referred to, which provides for the
creation of n board of public works. is
a most wholesome recommendation,
but this the legislature did not enact.
but leaves 1t TO the discretion of the diff
ferent city governments.
Now. IL is manifest that II was never
intended by the legislature that the
city council should itself be an execu-
tive board. Their duties are de1ned by

and baby carriages. as well as TO We
hicles drawn by horses. An electric
line could easily be constructed to con-
vey the children TO the top. or. a tun-
mel might be run from the bottom of
the hill through TO the center. Passen-
gers could be taken by car from the
city into the center OF the hill and
there be transferred to an elevator
which could raise them TO the top
without any fatig whatever. In con-
nection with the park a grand tobog-
gan slide could be constructed. And
what a splendid one II would be-
Starting from the summit Of The Big
sButte. the tobogeanist would have A
descent not to be equaled anywhere on
earth. He would attain the velocIty of
a lightning express before reaching the
foot of the hill. lie would fly across
the valley with the speed Of a cannon
ball. Then he would shoot up the OPP
posite hill on which the School of Mines
is located. his sneed would gradually
slacken with the ascent and the to-
began would come To a halt right in
front of the school door. Then he could
turn round. ride down the School of
Mines hill. shoot across the interview
ing valley and climb half way back nm
the Big Butte before the toboggan's
acquired speed would be dlsslpated. IL
could be arranged that at that point he
could couple on TO a cable which would
drag him on up 10 the summit again.
What more sublime sport could be con-
ceived Of?
So there are man uses TO which the
Big Butte can be put and all that is re-
quired Is sufficient brains and enter
prise N canital to make u OF ines

to be reviving after a long siege of ser

HAS SERVED ITS TIME
AND IT WILL HAVE TO co

The time a arrived in the g
Of Butte when the Big Butte is in tn,
way.
Until a shor time ago this stately
sentinel was regarded with some cur
iosfty but with concern by Butte peo-
pie. They would look at IL with indif-
ference. merely wishing that the sharp,
confcal hill was a little more beautiful.
Old timers would cast their weather
eye In its direction when f~orecasting a
storm. the tenderfoot would usually
scale Its steep sides the first leisure
day he had after ne arrived, and that
10 o all the attention which this
prominent figure in the landscape re-
ceived until very lately.
But 10Y the Big Butte is in the way.
n Ii isn't gentleman enough to bulge
an inch. The city has bumped right
up against II. has spread out on all
eides OF Ii and has even begun to creep
up the easy slopes at the foot of the
bill. And with all that the old Butte
looks sternly. ~scornfully down 1T the
growing city. which it has watched
from Its infancy, and steadfastly holds
It's ground. The red nan was courteous
and considerate enough To move out OF
the way when the white nan came
along. When the pale faces took poses-
sion OF his rich district and began to
dig for its buried treasures. the Indian
moved out to the dump and is content
10 live on the offal and refuse that
are carted away from the white mans
restaurant and SLAUGHTER house.
Not so with the Big Butte. 1t won't
give way before the prosperous. ad-
vancing new Butte which has even be-
gun to violate the sacred solitude of
its sides. The Big Butte is in the way
n II hasn't sense enough TO know
II. 1t stands like a Chinese wall. firm.
immovable against the onward march
OF the new Butte.
1t Is n common saying among old
timers that they came TO this town
when the Big Butte was a hole in the
ground. George W. Newkirk says that,
and so does Ton Parter and Enos Shell
don. George w. Irwin and John Ma
guire say that when they arrived in
these parts they could jump over this
Butte-only a hillock in those days.
Let no man deign to say that these old
would stretch the truth. Their
word must be accepted as the truth.
Butte has grown from a hole in
the ground to its present for
midable proportions. the future of
Butte is certainly in peril. The
growth of the monster has been i'm
p~erceptible to the eye. The ordinary
resident of Butte will scarcely believe
that the great hill is growing. Yet IL
Is the word Of the old timers tina when
came here the hill was a hole in
the ground, and having since grown
to its present mammoth proportions,
can say that IL is not still grow
ing? That II will not reach out for
more territority as Its cone approaches

A w~ell-known clergyman walked into
the First National bank yesterday and
asked for 10 cents worth OF documentary

This was rather Indefinite and the book
keeper asked:

gyman. absent-mindedly.
And the bank smiled.
