Ihe city authorities have two engines
at work grading the streets as result OF
the committee waiting on ina mayor
about a week ago. One of them Is at
work in the north end of town ana the
other at the south end, and the chahge
in the appearance of the streets is amaz-
ing so much so that two rigs can pass
one another without one having to stop

fathers, in their infinite wisdom could
see fit to purchase an engine for the use
of the city 1t would be a profitable in
vestment. Instead of running the city
into debt for Improvements of the char-
acter of last year in Improvement division

The many friends of Captain keown in
this city hope that he may become the
successor of the late Major brennan, and
that the war department viii decide that

Captain Keown has lived in the valley

approval.

on Thursday night for parts unknown
and according to several anxious people
he forgot to pay some of his debts before
he left. He has been running a harness

very little success, and has also been liv-
ing little fast for his financial condition
in this life.

WAS ALMOST DROWNED.
Farmer Tried to Ford the Creek, with
Disastrous Results.

A farmer, whose named could not be
learned, had a narrow escape from
drowning in Warm Springs creek. Sat
urday, and as it was lost a wagon and
load of produce.
He was entering the eastern part of
the city with his wagon and a load of
produce. With him was his son. Not
realizing how high and swift the creek
was, he undertook to ford it. In mid
stream the wagon was thrown into deep
water. So swift was the current that in
a moment the wagon was wrenched to
pieces and sent down stream, releasing
the struggling horses, which had diff
Guilty in reaching shore. The two men
only saved themselves by desperate eff
forts.

IN BOZE MAN,
The West Galiatin Camp in a Condition
to Receive Visitors

Special Correspondence of the Standard.
Bozeman, June 30.-The West Gallatn
camp, situated on Lager creek, some %
miles from Bozeman, was put in condi-
ton to receive visitors this week. The
Bozeman Improvement society and 9TH
ers last year made an effort to advertise
the town and Gallatin valley as a health
and summer resort. In connection with
this idea permanent camps were estab-
liShed in the West Gallatin canyon by
Mrs. Fletcher and also in Middle Creek
canyon and Bridger canyon. The camp
on the West Gallatin was the most i'm
portant one, as, among other things. the
camper had the option of sleeping in tents
or cabins. and also might have a hot or
cold bath when desired. as well as other
modern conveniences. A number of peo-
pie came from Butte Helena and Eastern
cities to enjoy the beautiful air, scenery
and fishing, and doubtless these perma-
nent camps will be well patronized this
year. 1t was quite a nice little outing for
those who could only spare a day or two
from business to drive out from town on
Saturday evening and return on Monday,
spending Sunday in the Gallatin canyon.
No arrangements had TO be made, as ev-
erythng was provided by the managers
of the camps for the convenience of their
guests.
The West Ganatin Irrigation company
commenced suit on Friday for a right of
way for their new ditch over the lands of
Thomas Kirk. Christian Passak and
Matthias Neible. The defendants refused
to accept the amounts offered by the irri-
cation company. and hence the condemna-
ton proceedings. The new canal of the
company is getting along very well, will
soon be finished and will be a great adj
vantage to the farmers along its route, as
many will have TO depend upon the com
pany for water. including some of the
defendants in the above suit. The effect
of this suit will be to delay the building

ANACONDA NEWS.
IT WAS THEIR GREAT DAY
Austrians Celebrated the Feast
of st. Peter and st. Paul.
VISITORS FROM BUTTE
More Than Four Hundred Came Down
Yesterday-The Services at st. Peters
Church-Sermon Delivered by
Father Pirnat

The Austrian citizens of Anaconda yes
terday celebrated the feast of their patron
saints, St. Peter and St. Paul. They were
favored by beautiful weather and all of
the Austrians and the Slavonians turned
out to do honor to the occasion.
In the eastern portion of the city all
was excitement early yesterday morning.
The houses and places of business were
gaily decorated and few were the windows
that did not bear the inscription, "Wel-
come" The reason for this was the fact
that more than 400 visitors were expected
from Butte. And these visitors came,
and they were noticed, for they all wore
bright uniforms. AS they paraded
through the different streets of the city
they were the envy of the thousands of
spectators.
The Butte visitors arrived in the city
at II o'clock on a special train. They
were members of -Slavonian So
cieties They were met at the depot by
the members of the St. Peter and st. Paul,
the St. Joseph, the st. George, the st.
John the Baptist and the National Sla-
vonian societies.
The visitors paraded through different

he carried a cane two inches in diam
eter at the butt and an inch at the
ferrule. A horn handle fully a foot
long projected from the top of the stick,
which bore a tiny red, white and
blue bit of ribbon, giving an especially
ludicrous air to it.
The gorgeous being had a huge hand
kerchief adorned with large and bril-
liant polka dots. This he frequently
displayed.
All he did was to walk about the

to himself, but a whole negro minstrel

a drum-major could not have attract
ed more attention.

Section of the Circus.
There was a Butte visitor in the city
yesterday who created a sensation on
the streets. He wore no label so no
one knew he came from Butte until in
guiries were made. His trail about the
city was marked by staring eyes. Many
thought the circus had returned.
Ii was all because of the mans raj
ment that he attracted attention. That
is evidently what he wanted, and the
more the people stared the better he
seemed to like it. His We're the nOisiest

The Secret of Success.

The study of the secret of the sue
cess of an individual, business enter
prise or corporation is very interesting
The secret of the success of the Mil
waukee" road in general, and of the
way it maintains its popularity with
the public is the fact that it is ever
striving to furnish its patrons with
what may be necessary to their COM
fort and convenience. 1t was for this
reason that this company built at an
expense of $3.50, coo the celebrated, Pho

The plot of the piece centers around

his surprise and horror he later learns
that the object of his affections Is no
other than the former wife of the late
Mr. Grafton, and, having strong dis

the engagement. This is met with a
strong protest on the part of the lady,
for she threatens to sue for a breach of
promise. Gilligan consults his lawyer,
the outcome of which is a conference
between the widow and the attorney,
who employs every effort to stop the
suit. but to no avail. In the meantime
Gilligan marries beautiful Rosie Muir
