ITS WORK FINISHED.
THE TOTAL ASSESSMENT OF THE
COUNTY REDUCED.

The board of equalization, which con-
vened about a month ago, has completed
it's work, and the county commissioner
portion of it has resumed its duties as
commissioners. The net decrease in the
county's assessment amounts to $79, 1886,
which gives all real property Exclusive
of ~railroads) in Silver Bow county a to-
tai value of $27, 1868. 100. With the railroads
the total is $28. 045, 1872. A raise of $13, 7O5
was made in the assessment of some of
the corporations and heavy holders, but
the total reduction, exclusive Of this sum,
was as stated.
The tax levy made by the commission
ers is as follows:
State, 2h mills; state bounty. s mills:
stock inspector and detective. ~ mills:
stock indemnity, u mill; sheep inspector

Pride often stands between us and our
truest happiness.
We are very anxious about the future
until we have trouble in the present.
A man has to be very much in love with
a woman to willingly carry her parasol
over her.
One doesn't get rid of bills by tearing
them up but they are disposed of for

Many a WOman carries to her grave
some silly name her romantic novel read

Every joy in life is marred by a shadow,
but it does not follow that every shadow
is followed by a joy.
The happiest person in the world is he
or she whose ambition never scars be-
yond what he or she is able to get.
Either man or woman can become hero
or heroine to those beneath them if their
fees are only sufficiently large.
A man can get ready for a journey in
five minutes, but a woman is never really

HUM CHIMNEYS.

st. James Gazette: Smoking is the
temperate as we'll as the contemplative
mans recreation, and great smokers are
loath to exhibit their tobacco consuming
abilities by engaging in smoking contests.
Still, however, there a been some curl
u tobacco burning races. In 1123 there
was a great smoking contest at Oxford,
England, a scaffold being erected in front
of an inn for the accommodation of the
any one, man or woman, who, could
smoke three ounce of tobacco first, with
out drinking or leaving the stage, should
have a prize of IL shillings.
MANY tried" said Hearne, and twas
thought nat a journeyman tailor Of st.
Peters in the east would have been the
victor, he smoking faster than and being
many pipes before the rest, but at last
he was so sick twas thought he would
nave died, and an old nan who had been
a builder and smoking gently came off
the conqueror, smoking the three ounces
quite out, and he told me that after that
he smoked three or four pipes the same
evening""
About 40 years ago a gentleman agreed
to smoke a pound weight of strong cigars
in IL hours. The 100 cigars making up the
pound We're all to be- smoked down, to
one-inch butts. The match was decided
Oh d lHdIIeS STEAMER plying OtlNteii
London and Chelsea, and by taking up
his position we'll forward the smoker had
the full benefit of the wind. The contest
began at 10 a. M, and in the first hour
the smoker consumed is cigars. After
nine hours smoking Sc had been disposed
! of, and, with three hours to go and only
IA to smoke, the hacker OF time gave in.
The winner declared that he felt no dis
comfort during the contest and finished
off the 100 cigars that evening. More re-
Gently a solid silver cigar case and 200
cigars were offered to the smoker who
| consumed the most cigars in two hours.
| Food, drink and medicine wee forbidden.
There were II entries. After the first
hour 10 competitors retired. The winner,
who smoke without pause from start to
finish, reduced 10 large cigars to ashes in
tw O hours, while his nearest competitor
only finished seven. The people Of Lille
| are inveterate smokers, and to decide the
championship of the town a smoking con-
test was held. Each competitor was pro-
| yided with a pipe, so grammes (about an
| ounce and ~three-quarters) OF tobacco and
| a pot Of beer. The one who smoked the
tobacco first was to be the winner. AT
the signal the air was filled with clouds
of smoke. In 13 minutes a w~orkingman
! As years of age had reduced his weed to
! ashes, while seven mute later the Sec

! such herculian smoking matches it is
! scarcely necessary to mention the Ameri-

H PALACE OF SALT.
UTAH'S UNIQUE AND INTERESTING
PRODUCTION.

The salt palace in Salt Lake City, con-
structed from salt crystals formed in the
brine of Great Salt Lake. is the most
novel enterprise ever undertaken in the
west. The main building is a veritable
crystal palace. and no adequate idea of
the dazzling effect can be secured except
from a personal view of the exhibition.
Connected with the palace is a Midway
Plaisance, including H~agenback's great
wild animal show and the fastest bicycle
track in the world. The palace is To-
Gated in the heart of Salt Lake City n
occupies about 20 acres of ground. The
only transcontinental line passing direct
ly through Salt Lake City is the Rio
Grande Western railway. Stop-over
privileges given at Salt Lake City on all
classes of through tickets. This line OPP
! crates through Pullman palace and ordi-
nary sleeping cars, free reclining chair

in an unconscious condition, as q result
of being thrown from his horse on Park
avenue. The animal threw its rider upon

Big Timber Fire totally destroyed the
Northern Pacific warehouse and depot
here yesterday. None of the office records
and little Of the merchandise in the ware
house was saved. Two freight cars, one
loaded with household furniture and the
other with beer kegs, were also destroyed.
A long string of freight cars were threat
ened with destruction, but were moved
out of the fires reach by the people. The
loss will be heavy.
Helena: The state board of pardons did
not consider yesterday the case or
Thomas Flynn. the Be~averhead county
man whom the governor recently par
doned from Jail, where he was serving a
sentence for contempt of court. The
board partially considered the case last
week, and postponed final action until
yesterday in order to afford time to look
up the law, some doubt existing as to the
right of the governor to act. Yesterday
when the board met it was decided to
postpone action again in order to obtain
further light, and the matter went over
until today.
Glendive: The plant of the Glendive
Electric Light & Power was
consumed by fire yesterday morning. The
plant was just completed a month ago.
The origin of the fire can only be traced
to the ashes from the boiler setting fire

Olmstead, who sleeps in the building, mar
| rowly escaped with his life. only succeed
ing in pulling his trunk and grip out with
him as he left the building. The loss on
building. plant and tools will reach 81, 900:
insurance. $500. AS soon as the loss is
! adjusted it is the intention of the COM
pany to at once rebuild and replace the
plant.
Helena: That the contractors who have
! undertaken the erection of the School of
Mines building in Butte will not suffer
any loss because of the actions of the
Montana Legislature is the essence of an
opinion rendered by Attorney General
Nolan. One session of the Legislature
passed an act to the effct hat the cost of
! building the School of Mines should be
satisfied by warrants issued at the rate
of I per cent perannum. By a subsequent
legislative enactment 1t was promised
that bonds should be issued, no interest
to be paid IN warrants. The question
was whether such action was not in vio-
lation of the federal constitution. The
state auditor submitted the question to
the attorney general, and that officer de-
cided that such action would interfere
with that provision of the federal consti-
tuition which prevents any state passing
a law impairing contracts. Attorney
General Nolan suggests to the auditor
that he refuse to issue such warrants
with the view of having commenced pro-
ceedings in the courts that will determine
the matters at issue.

One of the various improvements which
the Mccarthy administration contem-
plates is the establishment of a police
patrol wagon system, which with the
growth of the city and the extension and
enlargement of the districts to the police
has become a necessity. This improve
ment would necessitate the purchase of
a patrol wagon and team and the plac-
ing in position of a network of wires for
an electric call system, similar to those
now in use by the messenger companies.
The total expense would be a bagatelle,
compared with the expedition of police
business which would naturally follow
the establishment of the system. Two
drivers would have to be employed, pos
sibly three, and an extra team MAIN
tanned, but the g would do away
with the growing necessity of an increase
in the police force, and make much easier
the work of the patrolmen. The wagon
YOU also do ambulance duty, and
would be in attendance at all fires and
emergency cases. Those who rode in the
patrol wagon and appeared in police
court in consequence would be taxed a
small cost for their trip to the bastile,
and the income from this source alone
would, in the opinion Of those who are
advocating the adoption of the plan, Off
set the slight cost of maintenance.

THE CITY HALL
Some Municipal Matters OF
Importance.
MONTHLY MILK TESTS
Some Vendors Whose Product is Be-
low the Standard--Patr0l Wagon
a Possibility.

Mayor Mccarthy and City Engineer
B%ickenbach returned last night from the
WEIGH stone quarry, which is located on
Beef Straight creek, in the Homestake
country. The object Of their visit was
to inspect the quarry from which the
paving contractors secure the granite
blocks for street paving, to determine
the quality of the stone and the extent
of the supply, and in every particular
they were a%bundantly satisfied. They
found the quarry to be enormous in ex-
tent, almost a Big Butte, in fact, and
capable of supplying a city of several
times the street area of Butte. The gran
ite lies in great layers and is easily ex-
tracted. A spur has just been completed
from the main track of the Northern Pa
cific and the product can be moved with
expedition, and a force of about 40 men
are at work squaring the granite blocks
into the requisite size.
AS to quality, the granite is very supe-
rior. On the surface it is somewhat soft,
but at a depth Of six or eight feet is of
satisfactory hardness. The stone is also
very handsome in color.
The sanitary department of the city is
today making the regular monthly milk
tests. Yesterday the health officials
swooped down on the unsuspecting
dairymen, as is their custom, and Sc
cured the necessary samples, which are
today undergoing what is known as the
Babcock test, so-called from the appa-
| ratus used in making the tests. Milk
| which falls below 3 per cent in butter
| fat is condemned and the license of the
unfortunate dairyman furnishing the
; sample is revoked. Last month, out OF
about twenty tests, four samples fell be-
low the standard and as many milk ven.
| ders were ION the carpet" in consequence
The percentage vas just a shade under
| the standard Of quality, which the dairy
/ men explained by the shortage of nutri.
tious grass this year, one of the result:
Of the abbreviated growing season. The
climatic conditions were certainly in thu
offending milkmen's favor. n they wer,
allowed to do business this month will
the understanding that the shortage o
grass should not increase the length o
the pump handle, and if, in the tests be
ing made today they fell under thu
standard Of percentage, they will b.
compelled to quit doing business; wherein
those who sell good white chalk would b,
the loser.
