company was no doubt the most impor-
tant action, while the killing of the
proposed new company's franchise may
be classed as second. Shortly after
the great volume of accounts and
a great number of minor matters were
disposed of, Alderman Heath called
up the amendment to the franchise OF
the Oshkosh Gas Light company. l
was read the first and second times
and upon suspension of the rules, was
placed upon its final passage. 1t was
passed with but two dissenting votes,
Weisbrod and Chase. Mace and GUM
were absent. A moment after Alder
man Heath moved that the ordinance
be placed on its final passage, Alder
man Weisbrod moved that it be laid
over The 1atter's motion was not
seconded and the mayor entertained
the original motion first, taking a bal
lot on the suspension of the rules.
Chase, Weisbrod and Harnish voted
against the suspension of the rules.
1t was then read the third time and
placed upon its final passage and car
ried. Among other things the amend
ment provides for reduction in the
price Of gas to ST and $3.50 per thou
sand feet for fuel and Illuminating
purposes respectively, and an extern
sion of the life of the franchise for
fifteen years, In addition to the present
term unexpired. Before passage it
was amended by the insertion of
clause calling for the placing of stop
cocks at the curb line for use in case
of fire. Alderman Simpson is father
of the amendment. He stated that
when a building with gas fixtures and
connections burns, it is sometimes
hard to extinguish the blaze because
of escaping gas. The amendment
seemed reasonable and was accepted
without objection.

Anaconda is Rapidly Becoming
a Big One.
THE BIG HOLE RANCHERS
Are Buyers Of Large Amount of Pro-
visions Here--One Sample
Shipment of This Week.

Anaconda as a supply point has once
more been demonstrated by large ship
ments Of goods into the Big Hole coun-
try, being a repetition of former years.
but on a much larger scale. Yesterday
three freighting wagons, carrying over
so, 900 pounds of goods, We're loaded up at
MacCallum & Clotier's store and headed
for the Big Hole country. The goods
were purchased by James Ennes, fore
man of the Walker e. Bielenberg cattle
and hay ranches, and are being placed
for the coming hay harvest. Just imag-
inc 10000 pounds of goods going into the
country for one firm of stock growers!
All these goods will be consumed and
probably more before haying time is
over. The goods shipped today We're for
one firm. and when it is taken into con-
sideration that there are other firms
and hundreds of individual ranchers in
that section of Montana who purchase
goods in Anaconda, their trade is some
thing no town accessible to these ranch
ers can overlook. More of them would
come to Anaconda oftener were the roads
in better condition. At certain seasons of
the year roads are bad. They are even
bad in summer when they should be in
fairly good repair. Last year some of the
citizens of Anaconda raised a sum of
money on subscriptions, which was ex-
pended on the road leading to the Big
Hole. This year nothing has been done,
but the ranchers over there are hopeful
of better usage, and are still purchasing
large quantities of provisions and sup
plies in Anaconda in preference to Dill
Ion and other points. To hold this trade
and secure additional business from that
section the roads must be repaired from
time to time, or else they will be at times
almost impossible. and this will cause
the ranchers to take the good roads
which lead to other towns.
