City Engineer r. q. Bickenbach also
said yesterday he regarded the iues a
solution of the smoke nuisance and the
only solution.
II agree with Mr.. Blackboard" said
Mr.. Bickenbach. that nearly as salts

far less cost by taking the eastern
fiues to the top of the Mountain View
hill instead of to the main range. I do
not think. however. that the hill near
the Colorado smelter would answer the
purpose for the western flue. II is not
high enough. n I him the western
iue hould be taken to the top OF the
Timbered Butte. according to Mr.. Har-
per's plan. I have frequently noticed
while the smoke envelcps the city that
the top OF the Timbered Butte was
above the smoke line. 1t was so dur
ing the recent smoke season. This
would indicate Ia the air currents
are free and active around the top of
this hill and what smoke gets up to
hat height Is blown away. So a stack
on the Timbered Butte would. I think.
be certain to carry the smoke SO that
IL would be d~issipated. I would not at
tempt to give any estimate of the prob
able cost of fiues and Jack such as
are proposed. My opinion Is that the
would have to be pretty big. The
mouth Of the fiue constructed at the
smelter Is is feet i'm dame

would have to be as large as
that. II not larger"

WHAT SMOKE DOES.
Butte Used TO Have rs Much verdure rs
Any Of Them.

The citizens smoke committee and the
Of the local smelling compa-
MES have practically agreed that the
construction Of immense fiues and
stacks is the only solution of the smoke
question. Such construction will in
volve an outlay of an enormous amount
of money. Will the undertaking be at
tempted? VIII the money be raised.
and II so, how?
Butte Is going to be a far greater city
than IL is now-it will be greater than
many residents OF the city dream of.
There is more ore nov. blocked out in
the mines under Butte than has ever
yet been huisted from Butte's mines
since The day the camp started. During
the past "a men INTERCEPTED in the Ina
conda company set the seal of perma-
nency on Butte by the erection of a
mammoth iron and steel building. II
has been announces that during the
year which begins with to-day a build
ing as great or greater will be erected
by W. a. Clark. Butte is To be a great
city. Will the citizens rise to the occa-
sion and conquer the one nuisance
which makes life in Butte sometimes
distressing?
An old-time circuit preacher who WIS.,
tied Butte in early days remarked the
other day that he nee picketed mis-
horse i'm the place where St. Patrick's
church now stands m that the grass
there was up to his horses belly. John
+. Forbis recently remarked that when
he first came to Butte the grass on the
present site OF the court house was up
to his knees. Yet now there is not a
tree in the city limits of Butte and not
a healthy lawn.
II is no longer remarked by residents
of Butte that they are here for a few
years only n that during these few
years they can get along without the
beauties Of nature. Butte T. on earth
TO stay and the residents of Butte ex-
pect to remain citizens OF this city ur-
ing their lives. Why can they not unite
In a determined effort to make the city
a desirable place Of residence as well as
a prosperous community?
II seems to be pretty well agreed that
the only way TO conquer the smoke is
TO cary IL up by flues and stacks to such
a height that IL will be carried away
over the mountains or IL .; does return
to Butte II will be so dlssipated and
thinned that IL will no longer be OBJ
noxious? IL Is commended by many that
the construction of such fiues would in
volve such tremendous expense that the
scheme hardly seems feasible.

and c~ommodious nue would be he
cheapest and only efficient means OF
dealing with this question. I have ex-
ecuted. at my own Expense ano on my
own responsibility. preliminary surveys
with a view OF obtaining some fairly
accurate estimate Of the probable cost
OF such an undertaking. I am graft
led 10 ind that the cost Of two nues of
brick n stone which I have assumed
as sufficient for the purpose will fall
considerably below what I had hereto
tore dared to hope. l have introduced
IN this work IN feature which ] be-
'lieve IL new or which I have never be-
fore heard discussed In this connection
at N rate. n claim for II a decided
s5antase both in first cost Inc ulti-
D4te efficiency j refer to a diversion
o. the fumes by building two nues in
stead OF one. exits of which will be To-
cated at points widely separated. and
in such a manner that IL will be a very
rare occurrence for both to be returned
TO the city at the same time. and sub
nit herewith "a tracing of the plan pro-
posed on which the fiue lines are in
dicated. IL will be noted that between
the Parrot and the Butte Reduction
Works. a distance OF about one and
one-half miles. no smelling Is being
done at the present time. and that in
making our connections with the var
ious works a considerable saving can
be effected by taking advantage of his
distance over which no fiue is required.
BY beginning what / will designate
as the western fiue at the Butte Reduc-
ton works n running westerly 1850
feet, with a hue Sx10 feet. to a point
near the works of the Colorado Smelt-
ing a. Mining company: thence south
westerly $3.50 feet with a fiue 12x14 feet
to h summit of the Grassy Butte near
the center of section rs. we are able to
discharge these fumes at a point some
thing more than two miles distant from
the center of the city and at an eleva-
ton of something more than $50 feet
above the valley.
Beginning with what I will designate
as the eastern fiue at the Parrot smell
ter and running thence northeasterly
$500 feet with a fiue 10 by IL feet to a
junction with a branch from the Butte
q Boston works. thence with a fiue IL
by IA feet $500 feet to a point near
Clark's Colusa smelter. and thence
1900 feet with a fiue IA by 16
feet to the junction Of a fue 10 by IL
feet 1.I50 feet in length from the Bos-
ton a. Montana works. hence easterly
$500 feet with the main fiue 16 by Is feet
to the center OF the butte near the Mon
tana Central tunnel. We are enabled
to discharge these fumes at an eleva-
ton of nearly 1000 feet above the val
ley. three miles from the center of the
city and about five miles distant from
the terminus of the western fiue, which
l am persuaded will possess
many advantages that will become
manifest in more ways a one in the
rapid n effectual dissipation of these
noxious fumes.

Mr.. HARPER'S REPORT.
He studied the smoke Problem and Made
some Figures.

The best study of the fiue proposition
has undoubtedly been made by Civil
Engineer j. II. Harper. Mr.. Harper has
spent much time in the consideration OF
this matter. He has made careful
measurements and estimates and is
probably the only person who has dom
so. His report has been studied care
fully by the present smoke committee
together with the plans which accom-
pany II. Mr.. Harper Is a member OF
n COMMITTEES The report was pre-
pared during a former smoke agitation,
but the Information Is as valuable and
as interesting now as IL was at the time

his report Mr.. Harper says:

In regard to the practicability OF get
ting rid of the smoke nuisance by
means of iues. ex-City Engineer +. w.
Blackford aid yesterday:
1T is my belief that the My solu-
ton OF the smoke problem Is by means
OF fiues and stacks. OF course IL is only
conjectural hat the problem can be
solved In this way. IA believe hat
we will be very seldom troubled with
smoke IL this plan IL resorted To. To
carry h fiue up to the ton of the main
n would, however. be a stupendous
undertaking. The cost would b. enor-
nous. i would favor a modification Of
Mr.. Harper's plan. Instead Of taking
the iues up the main range east Of
Meaderville. 1 would merely carry n
up to the top of the Mountain View
hill. j think h a would serve the pur-
pose almost as well at greatly less cost.
IL would be a very simple proposition
for the Butte a Boston and Montana
Ore Purchasing companies 10 run a due
up TO the top OF this hill. II would be
a much more difficult and EXPENSIVE
matter for the Parrot company. for IL
have TO carry a fiue three-auar-
tiers OF a mile through the town before
reaching h hill. The city could grant
"A right OF way for his fiue. but the
iue would have TO be buried. ON the
Mountain View hill a stack should he
erected 100 Feet in height or more. The
smoke would still be heated on leaving
the stack and striking the cold air out

lieve IL YOU strike currents of air

POSTAGE Of THE SOLDIERS
ALL SORTS OF IRREGULARITIES
HERE.
Many Letters with American Stamps
on Them and Some Have Not the
Sign of Postage.

Almost the first question some SOL
diers ask on reaching Honolulu is the
kind of stamps to be used on letters and
the amount of postage. Not one in
hundred asks these questions, however,
and many mistakes are made.
1.-THE Post Office Department of the
United States deals with us as an in
stitution of a foreign country" replied
Mr.. Oat in answer to a query. by an
agreement between the two depart
ments we accept soldiers letters at the
two cent rate when properly endorsed
by officers. Hawaiian stamps are used
upon them"
The men on the Ben Mohr and Sena-
tor are equipped with United States
stamps only and are using them on let
ters. This has been done by other
transports. 1t is expected that in day
or two there will be a thousand or more
| letters at the local office with United
! States two cent stamps upon them.
But many soldiers do not put any
stamps at all on their letters. A large
number, properly certified, but without
! stamps are received at the general
! office.
1--WE have been forwarding them all

! The irregularities are due to the ano-
maous situation here. Definite rules
are established for Cuba, Porto Rico
and the Philippines, but they do not
apply to this country A special sol
diers stamp is used in the other places,
and the endorsement of an officer is not
required. Moreover, letters without
stamps at all are received and forward
ed, the postage being collected at the
other end without extra charge.
The correct way here for soldiers is
the two cent Hawaiian stamp with an
officers endorsement. But this can not
