IN A BRAND new DRESS
The Season Has Begun at Col
umbia Gardens.
FORMAL OPENING TODAY
Mayor and City Council and County
officers Given an Excursion by
Manager Wharton-Royally
Entertained.

Manager Wharton of the street rail
way company extended an invitation to
the mayor and council, county officers
and the press, their wives and sweet
hearts to join in an excursion to the
Columbia gardens. About go made up
the party that rode out to the improved
grounds last night. The start was made
at O'Clock. The gardens are a revela-
ton, respondent in a brand new dress.
Electrician Aitken has just set 20 arc
and $50 incandescents about the
grounds, pavilions and graveled walks
The excursionists, under the guidance
of Mr. Wharton, were shown about the
grounds, but before thorough inspec-
ton of the beautiful place could be
made, of course, it rained.
q The large pavilion at the upper end
of the grounds was transformed into a
banquet hall. Two long tables extended
1engthWise of the hall. These were dec
GRATED with palms and flowers. On each
plate was a beautiful boutonnaire. The
party sat down to one of the prettiest
banquets ever served in Butte. 1t was
a surprise. No hint of such an enter
tainment was abroad and indeed, the
spread was an eye-opener. A large
the hall and while the daintiest COLA
ton was being consumed the sweetest
music was being dispensed. Thus an
hour and a half was enjoyed. Colored
walters served the guests. The menu
included salads, cold meats olives
cakes. ice cream, coffee, claret punch
and champagne. These were served in
courses.
The gardens will be formally opened
TO the public to-day. Old-time patrons
of this resort will see a new and much
improved state of affairs out there this
year. Besides the electric lights just
put in, new flower gardens with their
lovely pansies, swings for old and
young, water system and sewer SyS-
TEN, new walks, new buildings. i'm
proved serVice-all are to be enjoyed.
Work on the new Columbia Garden
road was begun on the 10th of April,
and the last spike was driven last
week. The rails are 56-pound steel and
the bed is a model of construction. The
very backward season has opera ted
disadVantageously for the gardens and
surroundings. While the place shows
signs of vegetable life and is in con-
traSt with the barren surroundings of
Butte, still had the weather been favor
able much more could have been done
TO add to the attractiyeness of this
famous resort. All of the details in the
arrangement of identifying the
grounds will be attended TO just as soon
as the weather conditions permit, and
in short time ii is hoped the grounds

LONG END IN BETTING
It's the Only Profitable Way to
Lay Wagers in the Navy.
AN OLD TAR'S EXPERIENCE
Why Veteran Master-atArms Won
Touch Favorites-Change in His Sys-
tenn Because of a Succession
of Unlucky Bets.

when you go up against a betting
proposition on a man-o'-war, no mat
ter what kind of a game it is, play
the long shot every time, no matter if
it's million to one, and you'll get the
money" said an old time master-at-
arms. IF I had played all the out
siders in all kinds of betting deals that
| have put hunks of hard-earned sea
pay down on since I got into this line
of packets, more than % years ago, I'd
now rate salute of II guns for wealth,
if not for rank. Some flatfoot was tell
ing not long ago of how go to l crew
came along to Honolulu and beat the
Bennington's crack crew, at odds of
to on or something like that, in
fourmile cutter race, and it struck
me then, as it often had before, that
man-o'war sailor simply burns up
his money when he takes the short end
of anything that's being bet on, from
the speed of the ship to the fighting
abilities of the ships cat
"Favorites don't win in this mans
navy. l can't explain why, but they
don't, and I've got lot of hard jolts
to prove it, When the Baltimore, for
instance, left Japan for San Francisco
early in '96, a moon-faced landsman,
who didn't know any more about a ship
than starfish, came to me and offered
to bet me $40 to $50 that the ship would
not reach San Francisco under As days.
l inquired it that the trip would be done
in SO days at the very outside. and of
course | took him. The Baltimore ran
her nose into typhoon the second day
out, and she was hove to and batter
ed out of shape for 10 days before she
could go on. When she limped into
Honolulu she had to be overhauled, and
it was nearly two months before she
crawled into San Francisco harbor.
That was only a small lose, but it
goes to Show how these things go in

took place ashore in Seoul, Corea. We
had big marine on board the ship
named Tim Dillon, who was good
enough to lick anything in the navy,
l thought. l had seen him put it over
a lot of good men in different ships,
and so when he got into an argument
with an understood Norwegian seaman,
and they made arrangements to have

he jumps ship for good before he's
been aboard 80 days
I'll go YOU said l, and the bet was
on.
1.-The Marion coaled three days later,
preparatory to cruise down along the
South American coast. Coaling ship
is an eye-opener for young fellows
who banker for man-o'war life. A lot
of the rockies, among them the man
l bet on as a slayer, got shore liberty
that night. One-third of them forgot
to come back, and among them was
my man. Thus l got it again by TAX
ing the short price.
Eight years ago, down on the east
coast of South America, we had lot
of games on our ship one Fourth OF
July afternoon. l stayed off the bet
ting until it came to the creased pole
climb. Then I thought I saw cinch
in a little play on the favorite among
nine contestants. The favorite was
harum- scarum young fellow, timber as
rubber, who had made a pretty fair
name for himself as an athlete and
member of a big New York athletic
club before shore deviltry pushed him
into the navy. He was seaman, and
the shiftiest man aboard when it came
to shortening sail--the ship was one
of the old wind TANNERS. He was
to 5 in the book which the pay yeo- +,
man made of the creased pole climb
ing event, and l took $50 worth of him.
A fat, chubby landsman, who was at
100 to / and no takers in the pay yeo-
mans book, won three straight climbs
on the slushed pole and my bold young
athlete was simply nowhere.
"A bunch of our men from the York
town went ashore in Kobe, Japan, five
or six years ago, for a whirl around,
One of the fellows was coal passer.
,fI hot ,f tha
best wrestlers in the navy, huge
Yankee from down Bath way. He had
repeatedly put all the good men in the
China fleet on their backs We fell in
with couple of jinriksha pullers, un-
dersized but fat Japs, who We're kill
ing time trying to throw each other
on mat they had spread between
their hand pull carts and our Yankee
wrestler got interested in the game.
We all stopped to watch the sluggish
movements of the pair of Japs. Fin
ally our ships wrestler couldn't hold
himself any longer, and he asked the
larger of the two Japs to give him a
try. The Yank had his little fat mans
shoulders down on the mat in less than
a.minute.
Tell you what I'll do, said gum
ner's mate who stood alongside of me.
IN bet you $40 to $50 that that little
copper-colored Jap wins the next two
falls out of the down Easter
Il just ate that up without a bit of
hesitation. and | didn't even consider
it necessary to ask my man, the Yank,
to do his best to win me out. But he
did do his best, and he wasn't in it.
The Jap had only been fooling with
him the first time, and he had a lot of
holds that our man didn't know a thing
about. The Yank had his shoulders
to the mat twice within II minutes, and
once again / went down on favorite.
I've got over playing the favorites
now, however, and if any man would
bet me $500 to $40 that I'd get a general
court martial between now and the
Fourth of July and be fired from the
service, I'd have a mind to take him.

that a raid was contemplated. A letter
had been received by Hon. James

HUSTLING RAND JURY
Nearly All the Criminal Business
already Disposed Of.

The present grand jury has broken
all previous records for celebrity and the
exercise of good judgment. 1t has in
four days passed upon about thirty
cases, in fact upon all but two numbers
Of one Of the largest criminal lists in
the history of the county. Those two
are Imperial and AmabiSco. charged
with horse stealing and resisting ar
rest in the course OF which resistance
they wounded Deputy Sheriff Molino.
The grand jury has returned many
mo lis not in all cases because they
did not believe the persons under the
consideration were not guilty, but be-
cause the evidence necessary for con-
viction was plainly lacking.
The grand jury adjourned until next
Tuesday when the two cases yet re-
manning will he taken up. This Va
cation is also taken that the demurrers
to the indictments already found may
be argued, so that if any Of them
should fail, the cases may be reconsid-
cred. considera Die part OF the ex-
petition with which the business has
been managed is due to the energy OF
District Attorney Flanagan, who has
maTshalled his cases in a manner in
volving the least possible delay. The
district attorney is conducting his
office without an assistant, something
heretofore unheard of during d session
of court.
An indictment was found yesterday
against G. w. Snyder, charged with
passing counterfeit money.

BOUNDING IRON
The difference the MOVem Makes
TO Contractor Tom Lowell.

Contractor Lowell is having trouble
in getting bids for the iron work on
the capitol building. The delay is not
embarrassing by any means, for Ii
will be some time before the iron work
is needed and a contract will be let
long before that time. The cause of
the delay is interesting to the general
public, and particularly interesting, as
we'll as expensive to Mr.. Lowell. 1t is
the steady increase OF the price of all
kinds of structural iron When Mr..
Lowell began figuring on the contract
he estimated at the price Of iron then
that the iron work in the building
would cost S21 900. That included all
the iron and steel work necessary to
make the building fire-proOf. Iron was
then, last October, worth $1.25 per
hundred. Since then iron has gone up
a little more than fifty per cent and is
still going. So contractors cannot find
a safe basis for making figures. This
advance has already cost Mr.. Lowell
$S 900.
The cause of the advance ds two
fold There is a greater demand for
structural iron than there has been for
years. but with the facilities for man.
ufacture this increased demand alone
would not increase the price of pro-
ducts one-half or any figure near it.
The principal cause is therefore the
tighter grip taken by the pool on the
iron business.
Work will begin at the granite quar-
ries south Of town taking out granite
Nor the sub-stOry next Monday. The
contractor, w. K. Miller of Fort Worth
arrived in town yesterday morning
accompanied by his assistant, r. Scott.
MI. Miller was formerly a partner OF
Mr.. Lowell.

A PROFITABLE INDUSTRY.
How Cotton Factories Are Multiplying
in the South

The Chattanooga Tradesman prints
an interview with Mr. John z. Se2rles,
with regard to a tour he has recently
made in the south, in The course c.
which he says:
In all parts of the south the cotton
mills were reported as profitable and
crowded with orders The splendid
cotton duck mill al Columbia, S c.,
is Cre of he finest mill plants I have
ever seen, and is electTicsi equipment
is superior to that of any mill with
which | am familiar in New England.
It's general manager stated that it
could sell double its preser, output,
the demand for it's goods coming from
all parts Of the world. In North Caro-
lima ] found that one county has
twenty-five cotton mills in operation,
with five more projected. In that coun-
ty the farmers are ssi.d to be SO pros
porous, owing to the local demand for
diversified Agricultural products, as to
| be free from Go0t, with good supply
OF cash to their credit, their barns fill
cd with corn and their meathouses
with provisions"
It appears from this that the several
communities n South Carolina which
have recently completed new cotton
mills or are preparing to build them

! The big duck n. / at Columbia could
! sell double its present output" and the
! demand for its goods comes from all
over the world What is particularly
worth noting, however. is the report
CT the extraordinary enterprise of the
people OF the North Carolina county
They have twenty-five cotton mills al
ready in operation, not one OF them

alter giving cotton NILS a very extern
sive trial they are wei satisfied with
! their experience, or they would not go
on building. And the farmers of the
county share literally the advantages
of their neiSnbors. They are so pros
porous that they are out of debt
1t is not practicable, perhaps for any
county in South Carolina to have
