A VISIT TO LOS ANGELES
To Be Awarded to the Most Popular
School Teacher in Butte.

To Be Awarded to the Most Popular
School Teacher in Butte.
There is probably no city in the
world where the untiring efforts of the
school teacher are more thoroughly ap-
preciated than in Butte. This appreci-
alton exists not only with the pupil
but the public at large is deeply in
sympathy with those who are daily
guiding the destiny of the coming Sen-
Grafton IN our public schools.
The summer vacation is close at hand
and it has remained for the manage
ment of Symons' popular store to de-
wise the means for one of the noble
corps of teachers to enjoy a free trip
to Los Angeles. Cal, as a Butte rep
resentative to the National Teachers
Educational convention, which con-
venes in that beautiful city on July II.
The Symons company invites all Butte
to aid in selecting who the represent
tative shall be, and 70 that end will
open voting contest for the most pop
ular teacher tomorrow morning, the
voting to continue up TO the night of
July 3. Every purchase of 81 VIII be
entitled to a vote. The contest will be
a most interesting one, and the friends
of every Butte public school teacher
will vie with each other in securing for
their choice the benefit of this charm
ing trip.
The successful candidate will be pre-
scented with a round trip ticket to Les
Angeles, including Pullman sleeping
car accommodations. The results of
the voting will be published daily in
the newspapers. II SINS

the people of the east side, and 1t is
said that they are trying to raise
purse among west side people to pur-
chase this site and present it to the
government, or, at least, let the gov
eminent have it at a nominal figure.
The argument is used that all prop
erty on the west side would be bene
fitted by having the location there, and
that the location would equalize bust
ness. which at present has a tendency
to move eastward. It is urged that
the city hall and all the hotels are east
of Main street and to keep Main street
the central avenue of the city the gov
eminent building should be located on
the west side.

EAST SIDE OR WEST SIDE
They Will Be in Rivalry for the
New Federal Building.
SOME OF THE GOOD SITES
None of Them Are at the Business Cen
ter OF Butte but Each of Them
Has Points in Its
Favor.

There has been good deal of stir in
Butte the past week in reference to the
location of the government building.
Advices from Washington indicate that
there is little likelihood of the build
ing being erected this year. but 10 is
anticipated that the site for the build
ing will soon be selected.
1t is evident that there will be a live
ly scrap between the east side and the
west side to secure the site. To secure
ground big enough for the building it
will be necessary to go just outside
of the business center, for it is GER
tain that there are no lots suitable for
the purpose to be obtained on Main
street or very close to it.
On the east side the location most
talked of is that which is bounded on
the north by Quartz street. on the east
by Wyoming and on the south by
Granite street, being the ground now
occupied by the residences of John
Noyes and w. H. Young. These lots
run through from Granite to Quartz
street. The Noyes lot has a frontage
of S3A feet and the Young lot of Il
feet The two lots would meet the re-
quirements and would cost about $780,
000 There is a 16-foot alley between
the two lots. If more space were
wanted there is the lot of W. Q. Speer.
next west, which has a frontage of so
feet.
Another location much talked of on
the east side is the Thornton lot bound
ed on the north by Granite street, on
the east by Wyoming and on the south
by Broadway. This location would.
however require the tearing down of
the Forbis block on Broadway, and that
would probably make the location al
together too expensive. The location
bounded on the north by Park, on the
east by Wyoming and on the south
by Galena street, is talked of, but many
are of the opinion that this would be
getting down into the bad lands,
which might prove communicating to
government officials.
The pulling on the west side is main
ly being done for the location bounded
on the north by Broadway on the
west by Montana and on the south by
Park street. The west side people are
certainly more actively at work than

The Walkervile city council last

there is always demand for the
