JACKSON AVENUE TROLLEY
GreenviIle Citizens Still Work
ing To Have Their Hopes
Realized.

Another meeting of those property
owners who are Interested in the Jack
son avenue trolley project, will be held
shortly, to decide upon the route which
the line is to take west of the Boulevard.
The few people who nave been earnestly
advocating the new trolley line are deter
mined not TO give up until all chance Of
success is one However, there is every
possibility Of the present plan terminat-
ing successfully, if the plans as now ar
ranged are carried out.
The committee has visited the Street
and Water Board and also the Engineer
ing Department. Chief Engineer Van
Keuren promised, a few days ago, to
have the west side of G~reenviIle, from
Stevens avenue to Gates avenue, survey
ed, in order to get a line on just what
property will have to be cut through. 1t is
thought that it will be possible to build
the line, so that it will not be neces-
sary to demolish any houses. 1t was for
fear of that that some Of the property
owners refused to vote in favor of the
route west of the Boulevard. Now that
their fears rave been set at rest, the
majority are in favor of the above mem
toned plan.
In fact, it is the only way out of the
difficulty. The continuation of Jackson
avenue, from it's present terminus at
Warner venue, is simply out of the
question, as the railroad will not go to
such an enormous expense. The Assess
ment Commissioner estimated the cost Of
opening Jackson avenue at about 800, 000,
while the route now talked Of Will cost
less than one-fifth of that sum. There
will nc doubt be some discussion among
the property owners and others who pa
tronize the Boulevard.
If the route, as now decided upon, is
carried out, the Boulevard will have to
be crossed twice-at McAdoo avenue and
again at Seaview avenue. Therefore,
while many favor the plan. the bicycling
fraternity will certainly oppose it. How
ever, the plan will shortly be decided
upon.
Just as soon as the weather permits,
the work of laying tracks on the lower
end of Jackson avenue will begin.

Two Tickets Named.

ANACONDA, Mont, Sept. 22.-The Demo-
crat, Populist and Silver Republican state
conventions resumed their sessions to-day.
A sensational feature was the action of
Governor Robert B. Smith. He was a Dem
ocrat until 1894, when he turned Populist.
He was elected Governor in 1894 by a fusion
of Populists and Democrats. He was a dele
gate to the present Populist state conven-
ton. This morning the Governor babe good
bye to the Populists and visited the Demo-
cratic convention, where, being accorded the
privileges of the floor, he announced a de-
sire to re-enter the Democratic party. He
was warmly welcomed
The Democratic convention nominated a
straight ticket namely, William /. Pember-
ton, of Butte, for chief justice of the SUI
pre:ne Court; Wilbert T. Piggott, of Great
Falls, for associate justice; A. ]. Campbell,
of Butte, for representative in Congress;
Henry c. Ricketts,, of Boulder, for clerk of
the Supreme Court.
The Populists and Silver Republicans
fused with these nominations: Chief JUS
tice, Theodore c. Brantley, Republican, of
Anaconda; associate justice, Henry Smith,
Republican, of Helena; representative in
Congress- Charles S. Hartman, Republican,
of Bozeman; clerk Supreme Court, Oliver
Holmes, Populist, of Great Falls

TOBACCO PRICES CUT.
Beginning of Another War Between
the Trust and st. Louis Firm.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 22.-The Republic to-
morrow will say: Tobacco manufacturers
and dealers in ST. Louis regard the 10-per-
cent cut made by the Liggett & Myers To-
bacco Company on all it's brands as the be-
ginning of another fight to be waged be-
tween the Independent factories and the
American Tobacco Company, commonly re-
ferred to the trust. The fact that the
Drummond Tobacco Company of this city
has not made any reduction leads to the be-
lief that the continental deal will go
through, even if it has not already been con-
summated, and that the Drummond people
will cast their lot with the combine. What
action will be taken by the Continental
Company towards meeting the cut of the
Liggett & Myers Company cannot be said
until the negotiations are all settled. AS
the matter now stands the new organization
is not in position to do much, but if the
Drummond deal goes through it is entirely
probable that retaliation will come in the
form of a vigorous onslaught on cigarettes
The Drummond factory will strengthen the
American Company in a spot where it al
ways has been weak while the Continental
probably win make big cut in the price of
plug.

sixteen-year-old boy. who was rowing the
