must have telephone relation with rail-
road offices, shipping and other depots
and hence they must use the Sunset
phone.
On this showing and the appeal Of the
Capital Company, the City Trustees or
dered Sunset phones out of all city
offices and departments. Thus Sunset
phone users are to be disconnected
from the Fire and Police Departments,
the Mayors office, City Clerks Office,
City Physicians Office and, indeed, all
public municipal offices. Their only
remedy under the order Of the Board
is to put in a Capital phone also, and
thus pay for two phones instead of one,
or else give up the Sunset and substi-
tute the Capital.
This action by the board is defended
on the ground that the city should
protect and aid a. local company in
which home taxpayers have invested
their money. We believe that this is
a true statement Of the whole business
in question. We especially pass senti-
mental considerations, the question Of
natural monopoly, the question of COM
pulsion by business necessity to rent
two boxes, etc. The one question for
the telephone user is, have the Trustees
the moral right: do they do a duty;
are they conserving the best interests
of the people by such action?
Take the case of all those who must
use the Sunset system because Of it's
connections with the $4,000 phones in
other parts of the coast from Portland,
Or, to San Diego. Shall they be cut
off from notifying the Fire Department
that their property is in danger? Shall
their families be deprived of that much
of protection, and not have the privi-
lege of notifying the police of need for
their service and protection, except
such users put in and pay for another
telephone service?
The position of the Record Union
is not tagonistic to either the local
or the foreign company. 1t bears neither
ill-will and has no concern in their
of telephone users, protest against the
action of the Board of Trustees as high
handed and outrageous, as beyond the
limit of privilege, and as direct and
unjustifed assault upon citizens who
have not given offense.
If either the Sunset or the Capital
Company violate their franchise privi-
lege or duty, then forfeit their franchises
and punish them. But if the quarrel
between the two companies is to result
in the punishment of citizens who have
nothing to do with such issues. the
City Trustees have no right to inter-
fere and to take sides with either, and
in the name of users of either system
who do not use the other, we protest
We would be precisely as indignant
and enter as strong a protest If the
Sunset Company had applied to the
trustees to meQdle Win private DuSi-
ness and order the Capital phones out
Of all city offices. The outrage would
be just as great and just as indefensi-
BILE.
But If all that the Capital Company
claims is conceded, for arguments sake;
that it Is boycotted and unjustly treat
ed, and that the Sunset people lie out
rageously when they deny as they do,
we still say that the action Of the Board
of Trustees is outrageous; a distinct
zens who use the Sunset system, and
who may well exclaim "a plague o
both the houses"

GUNPoWDER IN HUNTING.

Took Many Years for Hunters to FamiI.
iarize Themselves With It.
A curious feature about this evolu-
ton in methods of hunting was the hes
itation with which gunpowder was
taken up by the great mobiles. Not only
did it take quite century to familiar
ize hunters with it, but the evidence
that has come down to us shows that
the humble classes were the first to use
1t for shooting game. Macmillan, ar
dent sportsman that he was, tells US
himself that he could shoot further and
with greater accuracy with his cross
bow than his keeper could with the
fire-tube. To prove this he tells US the
well-known story of a certain ehamois
standing at distance of two hundred
fathoms, which, after being pronounced
as to far off by his henchman, who was
armed with one of the first sporting
firearms mentioned in print. comes
tumbling down, pierced by the first at
tempt of the Emperor's bolt. From
other sources we learn of strict meas
ures being adopted to prevent poachers
and 'woodloafers" using firearms: and
this at period when princes still used
the cumbrous cross-bow and spear. It
was only in the last quarter of the six
teenth century that firearms had ousted
other weapons for certain forms of the
chase, the deer-battle being among the
latter.

DEER LODGE NOTES.

Silver State: 1t is said that the Deer
Lodge river is frozen harder than it was
in 1887. In many places now 1t is frozen
to the bottom, and when the breakup
comes it is feared there will be much
damage to bridges.
The protracted cold spell has made the
coyotes very desperate and their hldeous
yells are plainly heard from town these
mornings and evenings.
The late unDleasantness has made a
great stir in the hay and wood markets,
and, as the old saying goes, It's an i'll
wind that blows nobody good
The proverbial grounding saw his
shade last Thursday, and according to
the meaning of this, we are to have SIX
weeks more of unsettled weather.
The officials at the pe~nitentiary, in this
city, are wearing becoming uniforms of
substantial blue cloth and brass buttons.
This is a change that is very commend
able, and much needed where there are
so many visitors admitted within the
walls.

BATHING IN
ANCIENT TIN les

Bathing in olden times was considered
a great source of amusement and recrea-
ton. Some of the finest bathing resorts
of all ages was built in those days. The
famous Turkish baths of Rome are the
same as those of the present time. The
process of heating the body to an extreme
degree of heat so as to ope all the pores
of the skin and throw off dead matter is
considered the most beneficial part of a
bath. Next came the rubbing of the
body, causing the skin to become soft and
flexible, and removing all aches and
pains; this with the cold shower bath
afterwards and a rest of an hour or two,
in a room of proper temperature prepared
the patient, who might be sick or well,
for excessive work Of any kind; in fact it
braces and builds up the system if taken
at proper intervals. The baths of today
are similar to those of old and will pro-
duce the same good effects. Amos Turk
ish baths are to be found under Hight Il
Fairfield's, corner of Main and Broad
way.

AN AMERICAN RAILROAD IN
CHINA

Moneyed men from the United States
have secured a franchise for building a
railroad from Hong Kong to Han Kow,
China, a distance of nearly 700 miles.
While railroads are necessary to a ma
TONS prosperity, health is still more
necessary. A sick man can't make money
if there are a thousand railroads.. One
of the reasons why America is so pro-
gressive is the fact that in every drug
store is sold Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers that celebrated tonic for the weak,
appetizer for the dyspeptic and sedative
for the nervous. 1t is taken with great
success by thousands of men and women
who are run down, pale and weak. 1t
increases the weight, and the gain is per-
manent and substantial.

MR., RYAN'S ANSWER.
TO e. o. DUGAN'S CRITICISM IN
MORNING PAPERS,.

In an interview had with Mr.. James
Ryan of the firm of e. O.. Dugan & Co.
regarding the suit brought to obtain an
accounting as to the affairs of the firm,
Mr.. Ryan said concerning the statement
of the senior m of the firm pub
lished in the morning papers:
IT do not think that the proper place to
try law cases is through the newspapers
and l do think that the proper place to
try such matters is the courts. However,
l will say, inasmuch as Mr.. Dugan seems
to be anxious to mould public opinion
through the papers, this much: Regard
ing Mr.. Dugan's accounts, and the cor
rectness Of them, and the general way
they are kept, 1 do not think that any one
in Butte can get head or tail of them. I
have had an expert bookkeeper on them,
and they are in such a condition that the
report l got was that a new set of books
would have to be opened up. Regarding
anything in the way Of a bluff, I am free
to say that if I owe Mr.. Dugan anything,
either personally or to the firm, I have
never before heard of it, and that news
has come to me through the columns Of
the papers today. However, in any ac-
counting had between US there must be
a fair accounting had by the courts, and
l am willing tC abide by that result.
LAS to Mr.. Dugan's statement that I
knew hat Mr.. Hager had overdrawn his
account, it is absolutely false, for Ha-
gers credit in Butte or elsewhere is not
good for SIS, not to speak of $500, and
the same may be said of Telford. How
ever, I do not know that either got the
moneys said to nave been paid to them
for the checks are drawn to bearer and
are unindorsed by any one. However,
that will all come out when that matter
is gone into. AS to our gains and losses
in business 7 have nothing to say except
that as far as / am concerned everything
was done openly and above board, and
with a full knowledge of my partners,
and the same can not be said for Mr.. Du-
gan If Mr.. Dugan feels aggrieved over
this matter, he may have something to
feel aggrieved over when this matter is
finally settled. AS far as my bluffing is
concerned, ! think that such a charge
was made by Mr.. Dugan against Mr.. Bro
ply, but Mr.. Dugan settled Just the
same"
