agent, tending rather to promote than
injure the general health of the COM
munity. / have no hesitation in eX-
pressing my own belief that with the
fiues described in working order the
city of Butte and the county of Silver
Bow would be practically and forever
rid of the sulphur curse and am sure
that in this way it can be accom-
plished without fear of injury or detri-'
ment to other localities"
Mr. Harper was asked few days
ago whether he had anything to change
or modify as to his views expressed in
the above report He replied;
Il can add but little to what l re-
ported formerly in this matter. l be-
lieve that the only practical method of
abating the sulphur fumes perCeptibly
is by means of hues that will carry
them far enough and high enough and
so distribute them that they are diluted
and comparatively harmless if they
should be borne back upon the city. 1t
may be found that my estimates Of
cost should be increased somewhat, oW-
ing to the increased tonnage Of ore be-
ing worked, and the better assurance
we now have that this increase is likely
to continue for some time to come, but
after increasing my estimated cost as
present conditions may warrant, l
think it can still be shown that if the
real estate interest We're charged with
the entire burden it could pay a low
rate of interest and pay the debt in less
than 20 years in enhanced values of
property alone. I do not regard it as
fair or good policy that any single in
terest should bear the entire cost Of the
work, for all will be greatly benefited
A. H. Wethey, in a recent converse
ton with a Standard reporter. declared
the fiue scheme to be too expensive to
be practical. After the tlues were con-
structed he doubted whether there
would be much Improvement He said
that the double fiue proposition of MI
Harper would insure Butte having some
smoke all the time. A wind from the
east, While blowing away the smoke
from the stack on Grassy butte, would
blow the smoke from the stack on the
main range right into the city: while
a wind from the southwest or west,
while blowing away the smoke from The
eastern stack, would blow the smoke
from the western stack right into the
city. He did not consider that a stack
on the Grassy or Timbered butte for
the Butte Reduction Works and the
Colorado smelter would be of any SER

the smoke would come right back into

ruinous expense.

total cost DOtn f1ueS.. SOFA, 40
Nothing has been included in the
above estimates for securing rightS-of
way, for the settlement of contentious
or for legal advice of any character, but
suppose these incidental and unantici-
pated expenses should increase the to-
tai cost to $600,000 it is still falling con-
Siderably below the amount | had here
tofore named in my own mind as the
probable cost of efficient flues for this
district. l am aware that $500, 900 is a
large amount to raise on short notice. no
matter how prosperous it's business re-
lations may be, and l would gladly well
come any plan by which we might avoid
this expense did l consider it possible to
do SO, but the conditions prevailing for
few weeks past have convinced me
that the very life, existence and pros
perity of Butte depends upon her pep

smoke nuisance, and if the erection of
fues be the only efficient method OF do
ing this, the sooner her people prepare
to assume this burden the better for
them. Whether or not the enterprise
will pay in dollars and cents l think,
should be secondary consideration, for
under the conditions now existing both
the health and life of our people are
jeopardized by this intolerable nuisance
I believe, however, that the enterprise
when calculated upon a basis of say 20
or 80 years will be found profita BILE
when examined with reference to its
merits in this particular. Let us as
sumo that the total expense of efficient
f1ues shall be $T50,000 and that our real
estate assessment will be $4,000 COO
both being within reasonable limits. I
am sure. Now, I think that a conserva-
tive estimate would place the increase
in values upon real estate, were the
town rid of these fumes, at no less than
20 per cent. But let us assume that the
increase in value be but one-half of this
amount, or 10 per cent, upon 5000,
900, and we have s1,500,000 in enhanced
property values alone, or double the
amount required to construct our flues
do you feel that / am too sanguine
in any statement here presented? Are
there any of you who feel that real es-
tate values in Butte would not be en-
HANGED at least five per cent? 1t seems
to me that at this absurdly low esti-
mate it would still pay our people to
build the flue, though our real estate

A few years ago the president
of the W. C. r. U. came to Vir.
ginia, thinking to organize a Un-
ion into the place, but found that
there we're only two ladies here
that had the moral courage to
sign the pledge, therefore could
not organize. But tais did not
discourage her; she ever had the
place in mind and no doubt it
was in answer to some of her
prayers that enabled her to &C.
complish what she did on the
23rd Of this month.
She occupied DR.. Kathan's
pulpit on Sunday last, and. gave
two powerful discourses. At the
close of the evening lecture the
pledges were passed and a Union
organized. Those joining were
as follows:
Mrs. c. 6. Kathan, President.
Mrs. VIM. McCullum, Vice-Prcsident.
Miss Jennie Myers. Secretary, -.
