LINE TO BUTTE L|M5ERED UP
TELEPHONE WIRE TO MONTANA
NOW WORKING PERFECTLY.
Formal Observance of the Auspicious
Event Participated In By Public
officials and Business Men.

The new telephone line to Butte got
another limbering up yesterday, and
when the day was at an end the wire
carried the voices over the 450 to 500
miles of space as smoothly as though
the distance were only across town. The
service is now as perfect as long dis
lance telephoning can be made.
Responding to the invitation of the
Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone COM
pany, Mayor Clark and several mem
berS of the city council sent their greet
ings yesterday afternoon to municipal
officials in Butte, Helena and Ana
conda. Unfortunately, the mayor Of
Butte was detained, but Mayor Clark
gave message to his representative in
congratulation upon the suspicious
event. Jocularly the mayor remarked
that Butte could consider herself mar
ried to Salt Lake, even though Zion
already had many wives, according to
repute.
All afternoon a steady stream of
prominent citizens and business men
called at the telephone building to par
ticipate in the formal opening of the
long distance speaking line. In turn
each offered congratulations to the
persons at the other end OF the wire
that Utah and the great country north
had been at last linked in closer bust
ness and social bonds with Utah and its
metropolis. The greetings were
acknowledged and reciprocated as sim
cerely as the sentiments had been
spoken at this end.

WORTHY VOLUNTEERS FAVORED
FOUR BATTERY SERGEANTS TO
GO TO CENSUS BUREAU.
Quartette and w. C. Hurd Go to San
Francisco For Examination Before
Going to Washington.

A quartette of Utah volunteers who
shared in the trials and in the laurels
of the Philippine campaign have, to-
gether with Walter c. Hurd of this
city, been recommended by Senator
Rawlins as candidates for appointment
to positions in the census bureau. The
volunteers who have proven their
worthiness for this distinction are Ser
geants H. H. Dusenberry, John A. Bo-
shard and Daniel A. Dunning of Provo
and Mark E. Bezzant of Pleasant
Grove. Today the four sergeants and
Mr.. Hurd will leave for San Francisco
to undergo the required examination.
AS soon as they pass muster the boys
will proceed to Washington to take the
positions that are waiting for them. 1t
is their intention, as many others nave
done, to take a course in college in the
capital city, where large night classes
of department clerks are instructed to
fit them for the professions of law,
medicine and other sciences.

CHIEF HILL CLIMBED A TREE
AND Mr.. NASH HELD THE
BEARS TAIL.
Salt Palace Bruin Has Fun With the
Chief of the Guard-Policeman
Was Scared.

There was another exciting bear chase
at the Salt Palace yesterday morning,
This time, however, matters were re-
versed and the bear chased the man. 1t
was the same bruin that broke his chain
on Friday, and he started out for re-
venge on the police who captured him.
Chief of the Guard Hill was his victim.
Bruin espied. him and started after him.
Help. Murder. Policer' yelled the chief,
and away he went for near tree. with
the bear al his heels.
A. II. Nash was sauntering along and
saw the trouble that the chief was in. So
he dashed after the bear. Hill reached
the tree, and with shaking knees made a
rapid ascent. Then, between his chatter
ing teeth. he called to Nash to Keep
him off! Keep him off! Don't let him get
met Which Nash proceeded to do.
Just as bruin started to go up the tree
after Hill, Nash got a firm grasp of his
tail. And he hung there until help, came
and the refractory brute was led back
to captivity. Hill then came down from
the tree and made solemn vow that nc
would never tell anybody about 1t. JACK
May, however, was spectator. ana ne
made no promises.

In great measure the large increase

Ezra ThonIpson's boom for mayor
Nas inflated again yesterday by a fac
ton of the Hanna hustlers, and anx-

camps Of the other candidates. 1t was

by the Lannan-Buckle-Lyn factions.
As the day for the convention draws
nigh the fight becomes more interest

strength and their hackers are hustling

that. but it is stated by shrewd politi-
clans that if it-cOnleS to a. final show

Ezra Thompson is not the logical can

A DRY SEPTEMBER.
Month Just Ended Was Almost a
Record Breaker.

According to the local weather office the
month of September just past was the
dryest since 1880. Between 1874 and 1880
there was no September as dry as the
enc this year. While the impression has
been that the weather the past month
has been unprecedently hot, yet there
have been several hotter in the past. The
temperature last month. however, was rs
degrees above the normal. the absence of
moisture leading to the belief that the
heat was more intense than it really was.
The highest maximum temperature for
September reported In the past was SO
degrees, in 1875. That of this year was 50
degrees. on the End of the month. There
has been no rainfall that could be meas
ured since Aug Z.

Slack For Furnaces Advanced Is
Cents a Ton.
FLOUR TILTED 10 CENTS
LUMP AND NUT COAL MAY AID
VANCE ALSO.
Dealers In Fuel Complain Of Marrow
Margins and Higher Cost of
/ Handling --Some of the Blessings
Of Prosperity-Millers Expect
Wheat to Advance In Price.

Cold shivers will run down the backs
of consumers when they learn that coal
and flour have both ''riz." After Mon
day the head of the family must stand
and deliver rs cents a ton more for
coal for the furnace and 10 cents a
hundred pounds more for -four. tThe
edict went forth yesterday, and 1t Is
all, because of the greater prosperity.
Prices on every commodity are advane-
ing. and the coal and flour dealers are
DESTROYS of keeping pace with the head
of the procession.
/, Notice was served on the coal agen-
cies yesterday by the Union Pacific,
Pleasant Valley and Kemmerer Coal
companies that after Oct. the price
of mine slack would be advanced %
that slack is in larger demand than the
available supply can furnish, and that
the cost of iron used in coal mining
has more than doubled.
While the small consumer can prob
ably afford to pay $3.50 ton for slack
instead of $2,25, the larger institutions
which generate steam for heat and
power, will find their expense accounts
largely increased:
Rise On Other Coal Likely.
Coal agents are discussing the pro-
priety of making a like increase in the
retail price of lump and nut coal. They
figure that the greater cost of shovel
I ing and delivering coal, compared with
last year, makes the margins too slim
/ to make the winter season profitable.
All claim to have lost money the past
six months But the agents are power
less to run up prices without the sane
ton of the producing companies, be-
cause some of the coal companies are
also retailers. Although not in a COM
bine, harmonious relations exist be-
tween the companies, and there is no
| Indication of slashing prices, SO the
agents have hope of nut coal going up
| from SAFE to $3.50 a ton and lump grade
from $3.50 to SAFE.
Freight Charges Too High.
However, the agents believe it would
| be only equitable f the railroad COM
panies would reduce transportation
| charges. The items that go to make up
the cost OF ton of coal are 35 cents
to the miner, rs cents. to the mine COM
pany, 50 for freight to the railroad. and
T 81 to the agent for handling, delivery
land standing all the expenses of shrink
age in weight, office and yard help.
This does not apply to slack, for which
| the miner gets no pay. 1t is claimed
by the agents that last year they had
+ a safe margin in every dollar per ton,
but now the fixed charges make the
margin barely 80 cents.
That the freight charges should be
/ SITE per ton in a commodity that is
worth only 20 cents, seems unexplain-
able. Certainly it is not because of
small business in this line. since the
| Southern Pacific railroad alone Is TAX
| ing 1000 tons daily of lump coal from
the Castle Gate mines, while it's con-
tract for the season is for slly 800 tons
a day. 81
