ROAD WORK.
Extensive Repairs Being Done by the
County Surveyor.


County Surveyor.
Missoula, June 3.-The county sur
veyor is doing some extensive repair
work on the roads all over the county.
The road machine has been on the move
ever since spring opened and the re-
suits are already apparent. At present
the road up the Rattlesnake valley is
all torn up, but in a short time the
work now under way will be COM
pleted and the people up that valley
will have what they long prayed for, a
good road. This will be one of the
pleasantest drives in this section when
the road is finished. 1t has always been
pleasant, but the road has been so
rough that it required close attention to
miss even half of the rocks that have
been imbedded in the road All of the
rocks have been removed and the road
is to be properly turnpiked. The most
serious problem that County Surveyor
Hughes and the county commissioners
nave on hand at present, however is
the road to Bonner. The increasing
business between the city of Missoula
ana the country to the east has made
it imperative that new road be at once
provided upon which, the people can
come and go without paying toll. 1t is
not right that this city should charge
an admission fee from those who enter
it from the east. 1t is necessary that
a passable free road be provided at
once. The commissioners have agreed
upon this question and now comes the
problem of how to get this road The
Bandmann toll road and bridges are
for sale and the commissioners will it
is expected, receive reports from experts
at the next weeks meeting of the
board as to the probable life of the
bridges. 1t is possible that Mr.. Band
mann may present a new proposition
to sell at a lower figure than he has
& been placing on his road. 1t is hoped
that he will. On the other hand. the
commissioners have had surveys made
for new roads over the Marshall grade
1t is believed that a practicable road
can be made over this bad grade. There
will be bids submitted to the board
next week for the construction of such
road according to plans made by the
: county surveyor The commissioners
: will have to choose between these two
propositions. They must either buy
the Bandmann road, the shortest route
to Bonner, or they must build a new
road over the Marshall grade. But one
thing they must dO-they must furnish
the people east of here with a passa bic
3 road that will not be a toll road.

BUCKET SHOPS.
Commissioner Renders Opinion as to
Their Liability to Stamp Tax.

Washington, June 16-Commissioner VT
son, of the internal revenue division, has
rendered a decision which has been pend
ing for long time regarding the liability
of bucket shops transactions to the stamp
tax.
by bucket shop is meant other than
board of trade or exchange where the par
ties who agree to buy and sell stocks don't
ordinarily contemplate the receiving or
delivering of any certificates therefor by
the buyer or seller, either at the time or in
the future. Such transactions in stocks are
taxable.
s'It makes no difference whether these
agreements to sell stocks made at bucket
shops are called selling privileges or 'pur-
chase privileges or whether they are called
by any other name, such contracts are tax-
able the same as stock transactions on tho
stock exchange"
Regarding the sale of grain and other
products of merchandise at bucketshops,
the commissioner, in view of the recent de-
cision of the United States supreme court In
regard the sales of merchandise at a board
of trade, exchange or any other similar
place 90 a board of trade or exchange.
1t is understood that in the case of a
bucket shop there is commonly only one
manager or firm who controls all the sales
and purchases made at that particular
place, and where this Is the case no tax
accrues on the sale of grain or other mer-
chandise made thereat, except where a
contract or memorandum of sale is issued
1t must be stamped with 10-cent stamp.

BANQUET TO TWAIN.
Showed the Good Will Between Amer
lea and England.

London, June 16.-The dinner which the
White Friars club gave Mark Twain this
evening at the Hotel Cecil was a remarka-
BILE tribute to the great author and at the
same time to the friendly relations exist
ing between the United States and Great
Britain. Each of the speakers, among
whom were the very Rev. S. Reynolds
Hole, Senator-elect Chauncey M. Depew,
and Mr.. Poultney Bigelow, dwelt upon this
theme.
Mr.. Bigelow presided, with the guest of
the evening on his left and Mrs. Clemens
on his right. The company included Max
ORell, (M Paul BloueD, and Mr.. Robert
Barr, the Misses Clemens, Mr.. and Mrs.
Gilbert Parker, Mr.. T. P. O'Connor, men,
Der of parliament Sarah Grand Mrs Frank
Leslie, Miss Beatrice Harraden and 200
other representatives of literary London.
Mr.. Louis Frederic Austin, In proposing
Mark Twains health said:
''What most appeals to men and women
in his own calling and what will ever cause
his name to be associated with Sir Walter
Scotts in similar circumstances is his
noble courage in misfortune, the high honor
which accepted the penalty of disaster and
the undaunted toll that row enables him
again to lift the colors of victory"

SLOAN ATTACKS WAITER.
Struck Him in the Face With Cham
pagne Bottle.

London, June 16-The Star today says:
after the racing yesterday Cat Ascot
Sloan appeared on the lawn and a waiter
accidentally upset a glass of liquor over
Sleans clothing. The latter instantly rose
from his chair and struck the waiter in the
face with a champagne bottle inhicting Sc
we're wounds No doubt the affair will be
hushed up, but it was the most unprovoked
assault ever Witnessed
The Times which prints a paragraph ac-
cusing Sloan of the assault, says that 1t
was expected that he would be charged
before magistrate, but that the matter
was settled by the payment of 100 pounds
to the injured waiter.
Talking about the matter Sloan said:
1.-THE papers have largely exagger-
ated the affair at Ascot lawn
"A waiter was very drunk when
1 happened on the lawn with some
friends and he grew insulting to my friends
and myself and friend said that he contin-
ued doing so he would hit him. The waiter
disappeared at that moment, when I re-
marked: When he returns he will be ready
Sure enough, he spilled the entire contents
over me. 1 being the only man known,
people said Oh Sloan did it, and seeing
the bloody waiter they said had used
bottle AS to the jockey club taking action
in the matter as has been reported, there
is no truth whatever in the story. The men,
bers know / have told the exact truth and
I was not concerned in striking the waiter
at ALL"

Before Army in the Philippines Will
Reach $4,000 Limit

Washington, June 16.-Under the most
favorable circumstances 1t will be hardly
possible for the government to increase its
army in the Philippines up to the $4,000
limit before the first of August. About
6,000 of the troops destined for service in the
Philippines and including the 5000 pro-
posed are still In this country and will not
be able to leave this country for several
weeks.
The officials of the war department are
making every effort, however, to expedite
their departure, and to that end have ar
ranged for the immediate preparation of
the transports Sheridan, Penn, Zealandia
and Valencia These vessels are all at
San Francisco, and have a total capacity
of 400. Unless present plans miscarry all
these vessels will start for Manila before
the end of the month. In addition to these
reinforcements provision will have to be
made for the transportation of about 1900
recruits now undergoing instruction at the
Preside of San Francisco, and the Nine
teenth regiment infantry, about 1900 men,
now in camp at Mddletown, Pa.
