ETfort to Combine All Lake and

Captain E. ]. Rathbone, who Is in Skag' way awaiting a favorable opportunity to get over to Bennett. has an important mis- sion on hand, namely to endeavor to con solldate into one corporation all the steam CT lines that propose to do business this summer on the lakes and rivers between Bennett and Atlln and Dawson City.
 Captain Rathbone was chosen by the promoters of the scheme, who are local capitalists, to represent their interests the people interested realizing that his eXperi- enee and ability as a steamboat man would qualify him to eonsummate this deal to the best possible advantage.
 Captain Rathbone has full authority from the several companies Interested to use his best judgment in bringing the at' fair to a consolidation and it Is reaSona' le to presume that upon Captain Rathbone's return a new corporation will be in a posi- ton to take charge of the entire business now controlled by the several com

The Tide Setting Tn.

The tide of trade Is drawn toward the progressive, aggressive and energetic men just as the needle is drawn to the north pole. It is irresistible. Peterson & Go. is a practical illustration of this. The best evidence ol this Is to be found in the regular line of prominent customers that now patronlze Peterson & Co. after the arrival of every steamer to see what new novelties have been added to the already large and varied stock. The latest line just opened embraces lace curtains, portlsre laees, portieres, drapery. curtains and a handsome assortment of spring dry goods. all of which will be displayed today for the edieation of the ladies who have ben longing for these goods. No one is com pelled to buy and visitors are just as wei. come as the flowers of May, and will re- celve the same courteous treatment as regular customers.

question.
 When the commission adjourned last winter it was because the two branches were unable to agree upon it. The Ameh cans finally proposed to drop the boundary question entirely as a subject for consdera' ton by the commission, leaving it to le adjusted by ordinary diplomatic methods or by arbitration.
 The Canadians refused to consent to the seperatlon of this question from the others. Therefore inc adjournment followed and it Is necessary for the United States and Great Britain to agree upon one of two courses before the comm ission should meet az ln-either by mutual agreement the boundary ques ion may te withdrawn as a subject for consideration, or the two nations mu settle it outright themselves before the commission meets. The negotl' ations now in progress are directed to seeur' ing one of these results.
 As the result of q conference held at the foreign office in London between Lord Salisbury, Sir Julian Pauncefote and Am bassador Choate, the latter acting under instructions from Secretary Hay, it can now be predicted that the joint high com mission considering issues between the United States and Canada will be reaSSem' blei during the summ.r or early fall.
 This outcome Is not yet positively assured, but Mr. Choate's report of the ex' changes at the foreign office certainly con veys great encouragement to the officials here and warrants the expectation that negotiations may again be taken up, with some prospect of reaching agreements be- tween the two branches of the eommis- sion.
 It can be stated that if the commission reconvenes lt will only do so upon com plete abandonment of the old basis, which proved to be unsuitable to the erection of a complete agreement, and our government will have som- sort of assurance in advance of the nature and degree of the concessions that may be expected from the other side, the lack of which, it is said, caused the failure of the first negotiations.

ON ALASKA'S BOUNDARY
Remembrance strengthens the Dee termination or the American
 Members to Retain the Bound- ary Line Within ThIrty-Miie Limit as originally Established.

A sIeeial dispatch from Washington, under date of May Io touching the Alaska boundary question says:
 Each of the members of th' American branch of the joint high commission has received handsomely prepared invitation from the Chamber of Commerce Skag- way, through its president, to visit that port and see for themselves the nditions. The invitation recites in strong language the desire of the people of Skagwav 10 have the commission maintain to the ut' most the claims of the United States to every foot of territory within the thirty mile limit lying between the sea and the boundary line as it has heretofore been recognized. The invitation has made an impression upon some members Of the com mission because of the earnest expression of the determination to maintain American rights to the utmost. For one thing it Is taken as completely negativing the state ment published some time ago to the effect that the majority of the people of Skag- way are desirous of annexation to Canada. There is every indication of the absolute and final determination of the American commissioners to uphold thls view of the proper boundary line set by the people of Skagway if the boundary question Is to be retained ss one of the objections for the action of the joint high commission.
 lt has come to pass in the negotiations now going on in London between Lord Salisbury and Sir Julian Pauneefote on the one side and Ambassador Choate on the other, that the resumlng of the joint commission depends entirely upon the dis

NELSON IN HARD LUCK.
Lost His Seven Dollars but Doesn't Know
Where.

Hans Nelson. a laborer who has been in
Butte for about two weeks doing odd jobs
around the saloons and some of the stores,
is in hard luck. He had 81 in silver, the
earnings of his labors in this city, and yes
terday afternoon he lost it. where and
how he doesn't assume to know 1t Is
gone, and that is all he knows "a bout It.
He had it at noon, but at l o'clock it vas
gone. He did not report the matter to the
police for the reason that he thought he
may have taken the silver out of his
pocket and laid it down somewhere. He
says he has a strange habit of taking his
money out of his pocket whenever he
makes a purchase and counting it over and
over again. Sometimes he spreads it out
on the bar and forgets to pick it up
again, often his conversation with the
bartender being so interesting as to make
him oblivious of his surroundings. Still,
he, says he never was drunk in his life.
Hans has, according to his story, bump
ell up against a variety of experiences dur
ing his career as a Wanderer. He used to
be assistant janitor in the New Orleans
Picayune Office and there he learned much
about the West from listening to the
"hurricane square men printers talk
about their trips through the Rocky
mountain regions. He soon resolved to
take in the West and satisfy himself as
to some of the glittering yarns he heard
about the country. He drew his wages
SIS, and started for the depot. 1t was
night, and near the freight yards he ran
into something hard. He was held up
By two highwaymen, who stole his money
and all of his clothing, leaving him en-
tirely nude. The footpads ran away and
Hans was taken to house near by and
provided with the suit of clothes he now
wears.
At Kansas City he fell into the river and
couple of negroes fished him out and
took him to their cabin, where he dried
his clothes, after which he resumed his
journey to Denver. In the latter city he
was arrested on suspicion of being a de-
faulting cashier from New York, but
released the next day on a Well-estab-
lished alibi He went to work in the sewer
gang and earned $40. This he exchanged
for an interest in gold brick and sub
sequently left the city ION the hog" Hans
takes his reverses philosophically and
says he is still open for engagements

among persons not known to your aft
ant, but upon Information and belief he
alleges that those 431 shares Were and
are to be distributed among persons
who, under the inheritance tax law,
stand in the relation to deceased of col
lateral heirs.
Your affiant further shows and says
that 1854, 43S06 constitute the property
of the deceased, Andrew J. Davis, which
is to be distributed in the ratio above
set forth, and among the persons there
in named; that said sum of 1854, Assoc,
less the portion that passes to the
brothers and sisters of said decedent,
and the portion that passes to John E.
Davis, administrator of John A. Davis,
deceased, is subject to a tax of per
cent over and above the sum of $500;
and that the portion of said total
amount that passes to the brothers and
sisters and to said administrator is
burdened with tax of 1 per cent over
and above the sum of $500.
your affiant further says that an APP
praisement of said estate was made, as
shown by the records in said cause, for
the purpose of determining its value
under the provisions of the Inheritance
tax law, and that a reference was made
to determine what amount should be
paid to the state of Montana and the
county of Silver Bow 0s taxes on said
estate; that report was made to the
effect that all of said estate was subject
to a tax of 5 per cent, but that there
after said report was Withdrawn and
another substituted in lieu thereof
which provided that all of said estate
was subject to a tax of only / per cent,
and that the said later report was
adopted by the court, and an order
made directing the said administrator
to pay the amount based upon the val
per cent.
your affiant further says that lie
was not a party to any of the proceed
ings had resulting in the entry of the
order aforesaid made, and was not in
formed by the referee, or by the court,
before the order was made respecting
the tendency of the proceedings for the
determination of the amount of the III
heritance tax due from said estate, or
of the making of the order hereinbefore
referred to.
your affiant respectfully says and
shows that if the estate of the said An
drew ]. Davis, deceased, passed pur-
suant to the provisions of the will it
would vest in the administrator of the
estate of John A. Davis, and If the dis
tribution is made upon that theory,
then the property so distributed is sub
ject to the tax as hereinbefore set
FORTH as most of the distributes are
collateral heirs of John A. Davis.
Your affiant further respectfully
shows that 400 shares of the said loo
shares, of an aggregate valuation of
1910, 900, is subject to i tax of l per
cent, and that the remainder, that is to
say, 700 shares. of an aggregate valua-
ton of $564,0OO, is subject to lax OF
per cent, and that instead of the total
tax due as declared by said order being
$S,544, it should be in the neighborhood
of $31, 900"

TREATED LIKE PRINCES
McTague and Conley Are Royal
Hosts.
THEY OWNED THE TOWN
Nothing Was Too Good for the Visitors
From Butte-Deer Lodge Is an
Ideal Place to Cure
the Blues

The Butte fishermen who went to Deer
Lodge Saturday night and returned
Sunday night are not through talking
about the princely treatment they re-
ceived at the hands of their Deer Lodge
hosts, especially Tom McTague and
Frank Conley, who took the party in
tow and made the members thereof feel
as if they owned the whole valley, the
big pen and the McBurney house
thrown in.
Sam Martin, one of the enthusiastic
party, will probably never tire of re-
counting the numerous manifestations
of genuine countrystyle reciprocity
showered upon the city visitors by Con-
ley and McTague. Whenever these
popular men come to Butte the citizens
who composed the fishing party always
endeavor to make them feel at ease and
enjoy themselves. The manner in
which the Deer Lodgers reciprocated
simply astounded the Butteites.
Say" said Sam yesterday to a dozen
or more friends, "McTague and Conley
are princes; they are the finest hosts in
the land, amt they? Why they
wouldn't or couldn't do more for the
president and his retinue in the way Of
entertaining than they did for our
party l like Deer Lodge. | like the
people there. They are all right. They
have way of making a man feel as
big as a locomotive. When you go to
Deer Lodge you're the whole thing.
And Tom and Frank say, they are all
right.
Their private fishing pond is a beau
tiful place-never saw pretter. Every
thing in connection with it is a model
in it's way. The fish in the lake are as
thick as flies in July, but they are too
well fed-they won't bite. But, then,
we weren't after fish; we were there
merely to pass a day in pleasant rec
reation, and we had it, too. Tom and
Frank sent down to their ranch after a
row boat and we had a fine ride on the
lake. Hugh Wilson, who has been i'll
nearly all winter came back a well
man Another day of it and he would
have regained all of that flesh he used
to waddle around with.
"These Deer Lodgers entertain their
friends in the same manner that char
acterizes their every movement, with
out haste, without delay, with perfect
system. This motto is emblazened in
gold letters the full length of their
cheerful countenances. Deer Lodge
might be what you call quiet village,
but it's people are the embodiment OF
courtesy, chivalry, elegance of manners
and hospitality. In Nutshell, they are
the people.
IF you aren't acquainted with these
Deer Lodgers would advise you to lose
no time in making their acquaintance.
1t is better than any course of medical
treatment that can be administered. II
you are troubled with the blues or the
mullygrubs, or dyspepsia or any OF
those affections, don't pass up Deer
Lodge and it's heaven blessed inhabi-
tants. That's my advise
