The appointment OF Or. j. Allen Kyle
as surgeon OF the division is a happy Sc
lection on the part OF President Lasker.
Or. Kyle is good friend, and true, OF
the travelling men and physician of the
FIRST class, but II does look like tho
physician TO be OF assistance to the secre-
tary should reside in the same city with
the latter.-T. Nj. p. San Antonio Express.
DR.. Kyle is surgeon of great ability
and is highly esteemed in Houston whore
he resides. There could bs no especial
advantage in having the State surgeon To-
Gated at the place OF residence of the sec :
rotary, as all business connected with his
office can be attended TO by correspondence
except where he has to visit some mem
Der who Is injured, and in such case Hous
ton is more central and easily accessible
70 all parts OF the State than san Antonio.
The appointment Of Or Kyle by President
Lasker was a most excellent selection in
every respect.

CHANGES WILL Be MADE |
An Era of Improvement at the
City Hall.
REFUNDING BONDS PLAN
The City Could Save Two Per Cent by
the Issue--Paying Six Per Cent
Now - Little Building
Going On.

The city hall will be fixed up little
now that the new administration is
finally in possession and control. Yes
terday door was cut from the mayors
office into the private office of the chief
of police, so that these officials can con-
fer without going out into the main
hall It has been decided to clean the
city clerks office, kalsomine it afresh
and lay a new carpet. The Office badly
needs renovating. Professor Leamy yes
terday assumed his duties as assistant
city clerk.
1t is understood that the mayor will
very soon devote his attention to the
matter of the city's issuing bonds to
take up the outstanding warrants. The
city is about year behind on it's war;
rants and pays interest at per cent on
them. Helena has just sold refunding
bonds a per cent with premium. 1t
is certain that Butte's credit is as good
as that of Helena, and the city can just
as well as not save 2 per- cent in in
terest.
Business in the building inspectors
office continues very dull. The month
of May has been the dullest May for
building in several years. 1t was hoped
that the disputes would be settled dur
ing the past week, but there is no
change. The condition is practically
the same as it has been for the past six
weeks. There have been indications of
yielding, but there has been no yield
ing as yet. A few residences are being
built, but that is all.
The police committee held a meeting
yesterday and decided to purchase new
caps, stars, belts and clubs for the
committee and street and alley commit
expected that by next Wednesday ev-
erything connected with the city gov
eminent will be running smoothly. 1t
is not likely that any paving will be
done this season. While there is great
need of paving the season is so far ad-
vanced that probably nothing will be
attempted. Some of the aldermen favor
paving West Park street from Acad
envy to Montana and Wyoming street
from Broadway to Park, which are
about the worst mud holes remaining in
the city, but it is doubtful if even so
much is attempted. One of the alder
men yesterday expressed the view that
before entering upon any more paving
the city should devote it's energies to
keeping clean that which is already
paved.
City Engineer Bickenbach went to
Salt Lake yesterday to see Schley. He
took his camera along and says that if
he cannot induce Schley to come to
Butte with him he will bring a snap
shot of him, anyway.

IN SUM MER DRESS.
Conditions Favorable OH the Ranches in
Idaho,


E. H Sherman has returned from a
weeks visit at his ranch near Henry S
lake, Idaho. Mr.. Sherman says that
there is every evidence of summer
down at the ranch, the cows are get
ting lazy and don't do much besides
chew their cuds and loaf around the
pastures.
Il fed my stock all winter said Mr..
Sherman, land they are in about as
good condition as they can be. The
country around that place is taking on
pretty summer dress of green; the
frogs are organizing a glee club and
the evenings are made glorious by their
songs The cricllets are heard to ex-
cellent advantage, and, say the butter
milk is out Of sight. My place is right
in the midst of the greatest hunting
paradise in the country. Men from ev-
cry part of the civilized globe visit
these grounds in the summer. The
young sons of Andy Carnegie come out
there and bring With them many of
their friends. There are reserves at the
lake owned by Eastern capitalists
sportively inclined. The lake is head
quarters for ducks: it is famous as a
duck roost. Yes, it is pleasant to get
out into a country like that; there you
find the beauties of life in manifold
FORM
Mr.. Sherman brought home with him
two large firkins of butter.
