THE SPRING

The waters of Sale gulch We're on the
ainpag yesterday and kept Street Com
missioner O'Neil and his men busy sew
eral hours to prevent it from coming into
Anaconda. The floods on some of the
streets in the city were bad, but it was
nothing compared with Sale gulch.
During the morning the street force were
busy down town. At noon two men were
sent up to Sale gulch to guard against
danger which was expected there. They
saw at once hat they could not cope
with the volume Of water and sent back
for reinforcements until the entire street
force was sent up the gulch. There they
stayed until night came on and when
they returned they had the banks safe
for another day. Had there been a much
warmer wind and a bright sun yester-
day it is safe to say %one-third of the cell
lars of Anaconda would have been
Hooded with water. The bitches and
cutters are becoming free from ice, max
ing more room for the water, but a
heavy thaw under a bright sun will
cause a portion of the town to be flooded.
Last night the wind blew a gale until
2 o'clock this morning, when it light
hinged, Numbered and rained. This
morning there was three inches of fresh
snow on the ground, but indications point
to a heavy thaw again today.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

The county commissioners are the
busiest men in the city n will con-
tinue as such for several days to come.
Their time yesterday was taken up audit
ing general accounts against the county,
Of which there is a big batch. The
sheriff's accounts were settled yesterday,
and also County Attorney Duffy's. The
Montana hotel was allowed $3.50 for feed
ing jurors. The accounts of retiring
County Treasurer D. F. Hallahan are
being audited today. One of the import
ant things to be done by the commits
sioners at this meeting will be to re-dis-
trict the road districts in compliance
with the new law. Judges and clerks of
election for the several districts will be
appointed and notice of election given as
well as the boundaries of the several
precincts published. Several candidates

REWARDED FOR HIS HONESTY.

In a small village just outside Noting
ham, a farm laborer went to the general
store, which was kept by an old woman
not overstocked with brains, and asked
for "a pahnd O. bacon"
The old lady produced the bacon and
cut a piece off, but could not find the
pound weight, says a London exchange.
"Oh, never mind t pahnd weight" said
he; ma fist just weighs a pahnd, so put
Their bacon in t scales"
The woman confidently placed the
bacon into one side of the scales, while
the man put his fist into the other side,
and, of course, took good care to have
good weight.
While the woman was wrapping the
bacon up the pound weight was found,
and, on seeing it, the man said:
Nah you see if my fist don't just weigh
a pahnd."
The pound weight was accordingly put
into one scale and the mans fist into the
other, this time only just to balance
The old woman on seeing this said:
|. "Wha, I niver seed aught so near afore!
Here's a red herrin' for thee honesty, ma
lad"

FROM SAN JUAN

One of the most beautiful canes ever
seen in this city was received yesterday
by John Reese from his friend Dan War
rem, formerly of his city, who located at
San Juan. The sender says the wood in
the cane is from a rafter IN the roof of a
Spanish hospital which was shelled by
Admiral Sampson. The wood, which is a
dark color, has a beautiful grain and is
heavy as ebony. Nc one who has seen it
has been able to tell what kim of wood it
is. 1t no doubt is some wood adapted to
that tropical cline. Mr.. Warren and wife
are now in Denver having disposed of
his interests on the island and vacated
on account of the climate not agreeing
with Mrs. Warren who had poor health
all the time they were down there. He
did not lose any money on his venture.
Mr.. Reese expects to see Mr.. Warren
back in Anaconda in the near future.

THE DEMOCRATS

The city central committee met last
night in the Shields block and elected J.
E. Mcdonnell to succeed John S. Nc
Groarty as chairman of the committee.
The ward %caucusses have been set for
Tuesday, March 16, primaries in the sew
eral wards on Saturday, March IS, and
the nominating convention on March 20.
The personnel of the committee as it now
stands is as follows:
C~hairman-J. E. Mcdonnell,
Secretary-J. r. Walkup.
First ~ward-John Hamill.
Second ward-Fred Peckover.
Third ward-James johnson.
Fourth ward-James Shovlin.
Fifth ward-J. NJ. Kennedy.
Sixth ward-Frank Murphy.
The name of another democrat for the
office of mayor has come to light. He is
William Kelliher, a resident of the east
end, who at one time was the most popu-
lar timekeeper in the employ of the Ana
conda Mining company, but is now en-
gagged in business on East Third street.
Mr.. kelliher's friends insist that he is the
most logical candidate in that party.

THE RANCHER MAIDEN'S SORROW

Stained the cheeks with holy tears,
Sad the rancher maiden,
Realized are all her fears,
Heart with sorrow laden.
No more doth her laughter ring
Ger the breeZe-Swept prairie,
Birds no longer hear her sing,
Broken-hearted Mary.
Drawn the face once glad and bright.
Racked with pain the heart once light.
Never was a a. more true
Than her cowboy lover,
Faithful as the azure blue
OF the skies above her.
Bold and fearless was her love,
Reckless, daring rider,
Yet as gentle as a dove
When he was beside her.
On the range they called him wild;
In her presence but a child.
When she spoke the last farewell
How her heart seemed breaking!
From the love-enamored spell
Twas a painful waking!
Sent him forth, perhaps for years
To far-off Manila!
Many nights the truant tears
Fell upon her pillow
AS in dreams she saw him lie,
Dead yes staring at the sky!
Then his letters, fraught with love,
Gained her fears SO calling,
Bright once more the skies above,
Ceased her tears from falling.
Thrilled her heart with pride-born joys
AS she read the story .-'
OF the Colorado boys
Winning crowns of glory.
Pictured oft the meeting when
She would see her Jack again.
"KILLED!" The cruel headline stares,
In her eyes, unfeeling,
Vain We're her nader prayers
At her bedside kneeling.
Clouds obscure the love-lit skies,
Dead her hopes are lying,
Yet within her tear-swept eyes
Cleans a light undying!
One glad flame of pride that he
Fell while fighting v%aliantly.

ON THE

Last night shortly after 8 o'clock the
hostler at the B., A. & p. round house,
who was waiting for an incoming engine,
was startled by the arrival of a wood
team which vas driven by a drunken
man. The granger from the woods had
during the day filled up on booze. After
dark he started for home and got on the
railroad track near Main street which he
never left for a mile or until he landed
at the round house in the west end of the
city. In his drunken condition he under
took to drive into one of the stalls for
the engines, having mistaken it for an
open barn door. Night Chief of Police
Frank O'Brien was telephoned to and the
man was gathered in and locked and his
team put up at a livery barn. Had an
engine or a train of cars backed down
the track at the time the man and team
was on the track a terrible accident would
have happened. Fortunately there were
no trains moving In that part of the yards
or the man would now occupy a slab in
one Of the local undertaking rooms.

A BURNED

Two alarms Of fire We're sounded last
night at 9:05. One was from box 10 and
the other from box II, both for the same
fire which was raging in a woodshed in
the eastern addition at the corner of
Washington and Sixth street. The entire
fire apparatus was pulled to the fire ow-
ing to the condition of the night with a
high wind. The foundry department also
responded for the reason the fire started
not far distant from the foundry and no
chances were to be taken by allowing the
fire to spread. The flames We're eXtin-
guished in short order. The damage will
be less than 500.

A sorry lot,
Although they got
A large financial plaster.
Those folk, ill-fed,
Who fought and bled,
To prudence wisely partial,
They still pursue
And put them through
The PAGES of court-martial.
And thus we see
How destiny
Holds an ironic SAVIOR;
Since they have child

From soldier and civilian,
