FIGHT FOR THE PENNANT
Which Baseball Club Will Garry

BILLINGS STRONG TEAM
East Side City Has Many Cracks-Helena

Series-B. g. M. and B. &B,
Have Consolidated

At the ball park this afternoon there
will be the first of a new series of ball
games between the Boston &, Montana
club of this city and the Helenas. The
second game will be played to-mor-
row. The Boston & Montana team
has been reorganized and may be
properly known as the Butte team.
inasmuch as it is now the only team
representing this city. The Butte e.
Boston team has been disbanded, its
crack players being divided among the
Boston & Montana team, the Helena
team and the new Billings team.
1t is evident that there will be a
great three cornered fight for the
Montana championship from now to
the close of the season. The Billings
team is a new factor in the race, but
the cowboys will surely make a stir.
Five players of the old Billings team
have been released and in one night
the sum of $500 was raised TO hire
new players for the express purpose
of eating Butte and Helena The
new club VIII soon start on a tour of
the state. Billings has secured some
of Butte's crack players, including
Pitcher McNeely and Catcher Zearfoss
1t has also imported some nota-
bles from Minnesota. The st. Paul
Pioneer Press says that Ritter, third
baseman of Duluth Charlie Reilly and
Eddie Burke have been secured for the
Billings team. An agent of the Bill
lings club Is also trying to secure q
first class pitcher in st. Paul.
The Helenas have also been much
STRENGTHENED. 1t has secured from
Butte one or two of the best players
Butte has had and has also secured
two Of the members of the Whitehall
aggregation, which defeated the Butte
& Boston team last Sunday. One of
the new men is French. a remarkably
clever infielder. The other is MELON

season. McDonough will probably
catch and Arneson will be transferred
to right field.

The Hares and the Hounds.

The champion stake arranged for
next Sunday did not fill, so it has been
decided to make an ordinary stake for
Sunday at $3.50 each, open to any num-
Der. The draw for this stake will take
place Saturday night at s o'clock. 1t
seems there are not enough champions
whose owners want to buckle up
against one another. Nine entries were
received, but five of them We're from
one kennel, which would not make a
very fair proposition.
For Sunday, the 9th, there will be
a stake for saplings and one for pup
pies. Saplings whelped on and after
Aug. /, and puppies whelped on and
after Feb. 1, 1898, will be eligible.

The Rozeman Chronicle saws:

The Bohemian chronicle says:
The Bozeman boys, it seems, run
up against two professionals at Bel
grade on Sunday. One was Buckly of
the B. & B. team of Butte and the
catcher was an unknown. These play
ers issued from a nearby house when
the game was called, and the Bel

And so it was up to the last half Of

out by a score of s to 7. me feature

SUMS RAYS CAUSE FIRE.
Beams OF Sunshine Concentrate Upon n
Box OF Matches.

The weather has not been so hot as
to cause any deaths and prostrations
during the past few days; rather it
has been of the chilly order. Neverthe
less the sun is charged with setting
fire to house at No. 1882 Jefferson
street yesterday. The fire department
responded to a call from the alarm box
at the corner of Kemper and Jeffer-
son, and before it got there the occu-
pants of the house had nearly extin-
guished the blaze. The house is far
from the city limits, out near the Sill
yer Bow mill.
An open box Of sulphur matches was
on a table in the front room near the
south window. 1t is the opinion of the
family that the suns ray focused on
the matches through the glass with
such intensity as to produce heat sutfi-
cient to ignite the sulphur, and the
fire spread from the table decorations
to the floor and along the carpet to
the bed, all of which were damaged to
the extent of about s25 The house is
owned and inhabited by D. T. Evans
and his family, and is insured for $500.

WIDE TIRES ABROAD.

Their Worth as Road Preservers
Generally Recognized.
The Importance Of wide tires in pre-
serving the highways is appreciated in
many foreign countries and laws exist
prescribing the width Of tires that may
be used on the public roads. The San
Francisco Chronicle says that Austria
requires tires for wagons built for more
than ~ tons to be at least 1-5 inches
wide. II for more than ~ tons, 81
inches. Bohemia requires a 4 a inch
tire for two horse wagons. France re-
quires tires from three to ten inches
wide; for four wheeled wagons tires are
usually at least six inches, with the
front axle shorter than the rear, SO that
the wheels do not track. Germany
requires at least four inch tires for
wagons for heavy loads Switzerland
requires one inch of width for each
draft animal and six inch tires for
wagons for heavy loads. In Canada the
agricultural department recommended
six inch tires for loads Of a ton or more,
and that is probably the law"
A number of states in this country
have passed wide tire laws, but even
some states which spend much money
in improving their roads fail to see the
importance of prescribing the width Of
tires that will do most to maintain and
protect them. Itisa shortsighted policy
and one that costs money.

FOR NATloNAL ROADS.

A Suggestion That the General Gov
ernmeEt Build Them.
In a personal letter to The Southern
Farm Magazine Colonel J. B. Killebrew
of Nashville says;
"Why should the states and counties
of this country be called upon to build
roads to be used by the United States
government in the transportation of
mails and army supplies2
why is it not as much the duty Of
the general government to provide such
roads as it is to provide postoffice build
ings or other public buildings?
1t occurs to me that the people of
the United States have fallen into a
slovenly way Of thinking about the duty
of the government in this particular.
No good reason can be assigned why
the government should not build roads
that may not be assigned why the state
and county should not build roads.
Equity would demand that every one
using the roads should contribute to
their maintenance. 1t took many GEN.
turies for the people of England to learn
that justice demanded that the govern
ment should construct the principal
highways in the country. 1t was the
grossest injustice to impose this burden
upon the country people living along
the highways, and this injustice, SO
keenly felt by them, produced rebellion
in many districts before the government
was aroused to the performance of its
duty in this PARTICULAR 1t was strange
that while the commerce between the
great cities of England was a hundred
times greater on the reads connecting
these cities than the country traffic, yet
the country people were forced to build
the roads and keep them in repair. :"

Bills For Their Improvement to Be

legislature receives them favorably, they
will be submitted to a popular vote in

ity they can be put into effect by stat

move the present restriction that state
taxes for revenue purposes shall not ex-
ceed 10 cents on 500 after the taxable
valuation of the state reaches 5000, 600, :
900. The second one makes it possible
for the state to appropriate money for
road improvement purposes and pass

the present restrictions on counties as

GOOD ROADS BENEFITS.
Money value Alone Justiffes Cost OF
Construction.


Money value Alone Justiffes Cost Of
Construction.
In one of the circulars Issued by the
United States department Of agriculture
the following statement is made: THAT
good roads have money value to farm
ers will be granted by all; that the
money value Of improved highways is
alone sufficient TO justify the cost Of
their construction will be readily ad-
mitted by many farmers, questioned BY
others and denied by not few" Com
menting on this, Mr.. Charles Corner,
In paper rsad at the Texas agrieul-
tural congress, said: That this must be
true. both as 10 the frst and second
statements, IL self evident; that they
have money value to the farmer is
true for the following among other
reasons.
The saving Of time and teams between
the farm and the market.
To permit the profitable cultivation
Of truck patches and the marketing Of
their produce in the odd times of farm
leisure.
Reducing the wear and tear Of wag-
ons. teams and harness.
It will allow our farmers better op-
portunities to take advantage Of the
change IN market values.
And last, but not least, it will in
crease the real estate value Of his hold
ing.
This is only the economical side Of
the question, but there are other ad-
yantages scarcely less important, social,
educational and religious.
As to the social aspect Of the case it
is common remark that boys are con-
tinuaIly leaving the country and flock
ing to the stowns because they find the
country dull and uninterestingl No
young person, whether boy or girl,
wants to live where there is no recrea-
tion or relaxation from the daily round
of toll other than the change of the sea-
sons and the landscape. With good
roads the country life would expand
and attract youths from the city to the
farm, to its healthier labors and it's more
wholesome pleasures. Our social inter
course would become less angular in the
gentle friction of more intimate inter
course.
We have stumbled by force Of cir
cumstances upon certain inverted or
der of progress so far as transportation
is concerned. We are able to travel to
the ends Of the earth in conditions Of
luxury that the Caesars might envy,
while denying ourselves the privilege
of visiting our neighbors in the same
precinct If the rain has destroyed the
usefulness Of the road to their house. In
our towns, ard often in the country,
too, we eat the fruit and vegetables Of
California, Colorado and the tropics,
usually because the truck patches Of
our farmers are not in touch with the
towns.
AS to tho educational side of the
question. neatness, tidiness and thrift
are virtues that are continually being
preached by a good system Of roads, and,
in addition to this, in bad weather
those Of our children who live in the
country can hardly get to school, and in
this way the school term, already too
short, is virtually lessened by the ab-
sence Of good roads.
