months. Rents are gradually coming
down and will ON day be more reason
able than at present. With a choice of
buildings and locations. the poorer class
of buildings are being vacated and the
| modern buildings are taking first place
| among the tenants, who find more COM
fort and sometimes less expense than in
the shells classed as buildings. The
court house is nearly completed, and Will
be the pride of the city, because it is a
magnificent structure. With the COM
pletion of this building, about January l,
Anaconda will then experience it's dullest
time in the building line since the big
shut down in 1890. An improvement is
looked for next year, or next summer,
but that depends upon the proposed new
smelter being built. If it is quilt there
will be activity in the building line again
but not until then, unless the large min
ing companies make some improvements
in these parts, of which no one can figure
out now unless it be the extension of the
b., A. & P. railway, which will be done
sooner or later. There was a time when
there was talk of Carroll being erased
from the map to make room near the
lower works and converters. 1t was fig
ured out in the minds of some people who
professed to know that the boarding
houses now at Carroll. and also the resi-
dences, would be removed to what is
known as the Eastern addition. near the
Washoe lumber plant. Now this report
seems to be u%nfounded. for the reason
that the Copper City Commercial store
at Carroll is being repaired, and that
means a continuation of business at the
old stand. because without the residents
of Carroll the store would have to cease
doing business.

A BAD BREATH.

Yesterday was productive of two una
ways. The first one was Il horse belong
ing to Sheriff Conley, which ran away in
East Park avenue and collided with a
picket fence at the southwest corner of
Park and Cherry. When the fence was
struck the horse fell down and an en-
plOye Of the Anaconda laundry sprung
on the horses neck and prevented n
further damage before the beast was re-
leased. About 6 o'cloc last evening a
drunken man undertook to make love to
and kiss John Nye's horse near Godard's
store on Main street. The mans breath
the horse and it ran away and
barely escaped running into the Montana
Meat Co. Mr.. Nye arrested the man, or
dered him into the rig and took him to
the city Jail and urned him over to the
police on a charge of disturbance.

to the scene of their crime yesterday
by Deputies Bancroft and Nickson of
Idaho, the young men having consented
to do SO without requisition ape They
left Anaconda at 8 o'clock p. m. and were
watched at the depot by a curious crowd
of men and boys, who expected to see
two tough looking desperadoes, but in
stead saw two young men apparently
less than Fl years of age. The young
men We're chained together and walked
along with heads bowed down. fully real
izing the predicament into which they
have cast themselves. Harkins. the
smaller and Younger of the two. is said
to be a Butte boy, and it is claimed his
parents still reside there. When he left
Anaconda yesterday he was footsore
from travel prior to his arrest and wore
a pair of light cloth summer shoes, which
were purchased to give him ease on his
trip to Silver Bow, Divide. and thence
across the country by stage to Gibbons

READY TO GIVE THANKS.

If all the turkeys. geese and ducks now
on the market in Anaconda are eaten on
Thanksgiving day the people will eat
on an average of six pounds each. ac-
cordiilg to the population and the num-
Der of pounds of fowl shipped in for the
trade.A anvass of the markets and re-
ceiving offices of freight and express
lines reveals the fact that no less than
$4,000 pounds of fowl have already peer
shipped in and principally from Kansas
and Nebraska. Several hundred pounds
have also been brought in by ranchers,
therefore q total of over go, 900 pounds is
a low estimate of the principal diet for
thanksgiving. 1t is believed that no one
IN Anaconda will not have turkey to eat,
Upon the occasion of Thanksgiving and
Christmas are times the charitable peo-
pie never overlook the less fortunate,
Here, as we'll as all over the nation, there
are many reasons why the people should
give thanks for temporal and other
faVors during the year. The day in this

All public buildings, schools and business
houses will be closed, and the day given

his arrest and incarceration in the city
jail. He was a dilapitated looking
youth when he appeared before Police
Magistrate J. NJ. Kennedy this morning
and was subjected to a Is minute cate
chising as to how he got drunk and why
he raised such a racket at the Standard
building. He said The Standard people
were always good to me-. but l got out
with the boys and got full and then was
not responsible" Being questioned he
said he often was sold liquor over the
bar of the saloons. Younger boys than
he also got liquor in the same way but

promised the judge to not drink any more

reprimand which caused the young man
