Good Roads An Actual Benefit.

Good roads are of more than
sentimental benefit to a COM
munity. The cost of hauling is
reduced by every betterment of
the highway. A level, hard dry
road allows the farmer to haul a
heavier load at the same cost and
thereby prevents waste. That
saving inures indirectly but
certainly to the merchants with
whom the former deals. When
travel sis easy, inexpensive and
agreeable the farmer will come to
town .oftener, and he will seek the
maket that is easiest to reach,
other things being equal.-St Paul

MEAT WILL BE HIGH.

This years corn crop will be one
of the largest in our history, ac-
cording to Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wilson:
"The total yiald, it is estimated,
will be between twenty-three and
twenty-five hundred millions cf
bushels. There will be plenty for
manufacturing and feeding, and
we will;have all the corn to sell
that anybody wants to buy. To
what extent the crop will be
shipped abroad will depend lagely
upon the price it will bring. The
high prices offered for meats will
incline the farmers to use their
crop for feeding purposes.
"Where stock is to be found the
corn will be fed, unless the price
be high. A considerable percent
age of the crop with be cribbei,
as the farmers generally are well
off and are getting good prices for
their products, so they can afford
to hold their corn up.
"Meats are likely to be high
because in the last few years our
population has grown faster than
the meat producing animals.
Then, injudicious grazing on the
semi-arid regions of the west has
been destructive and many of those
range states do not have over so
per cent, of the animals they had
fifty years ago.
"The British in the Transvaal,
war should it occur, will want our
canned meats. They cannot use
our refrigerated meats over there,
and in order to feed their soldiers,
as we'll as the United States feeds
ours, they will have to take the
quarters to Cape of Good Hope in
refrigerating vessels and then
establish plant for caring for
chilled meats similar to the one
the United States has at Manila.
They must have canned meats.
The United States is the only
country prepared to supply it and
the growing demand for
it in all quarters of the globe will
help to keep up the price of meats" "

1T Will NOT CELEBRATE
Anaconda Not to Enthuse Over
the Nations Birthday.
MAYOR MADDEN SAYS so
He Has Interviewed the Business Men
and Finds the Cen sral Senti-
ment Opposed to Big
Demonstration.

Mayor Madden is of the opinion that
there will be no Fourth of July cele-
bration in Anaconda this year. Said
the mayor yesterday:
There will no celebration for the
reason that business is too dull and the
merchants say they can't contribute
anything this year. The same per-
sons who last year gave S25 or $50
toward defraying the expenses of the
day, now say that they are unable
to do so this year"
Mr.. Madden stated that he had seen
the business men of the town during
the last week and had asked them as
to the advisability of having a cele-
bration in Anaconda on the Fourth,
and that the result was:
I'VE can't do it this year.
h II was going to talk the matter over
sat the last council meeting, so that
the aldermen could authorize me TO
call mass meeting of the citizens,
as .they did last year" said Mr. Mad
den, "but after testing the sentiment
of the business men 1 thought 1t I'M
necessary. the merchants say they
are just as patriotic as they were a
year ago, but then you can't do any
thing when you have no funds"

ANOTHER LIFE GIVEN UP
One More Anaconda Soldier
Dead in the Philippines
PRIVATE JOHN A. SEXTON
News of His Death in an Army Hos
pital Received-One of the
Best Men in the Regi-
nent.
PRIVATE JOHN A. SEXTON

One more Anaconda man has given
his life to his country.
In the weekly report of deaths in the
army in the Philippines, received by
the war department from General Otis
yesterday, the news came that Private
John A. Sexton of Company M, list
Montana, died June 8. Owing to the
peculiar wording of General Otis dis
patch, it is impossible to say whether
the cause of his death was a wound re-
ceived in action or disease. Deaths from
wounds, typhoid fever and dysentery
are grouped together in the list in a
confusing manner. Whatever the cause,
those who knew Sexton in Anaconda
feel assured he died as soldier.
ut is strange" said Police Judge J.
NJ. Kennedy, formerly lieutenant in
Anaconda's other company-K-'that
the men who are hit or who die of dis
ease in our regiment are the best men.
1t seems when one reads the list of
losses that the very ones who should
not be taken are the ones whose lives
are sacrificed. In every company in the
army there are, of course, some more
or less worthless members, but they
always seem to be spared.
Sexton was a splendid soldier and
a splendid man. He was, I believe.
single, and was between 30 and So
years of age. I had known him for
three or four years here prior to the
war, he being employed in the convert
err. In the army he made a splendid
record; always faithful, earnest in his
work, attentive to instruction, quiet
and gentlemanly. He made an ideal
soldier and was certainly one of the
best men in the regiment"
Although the dead soldier was a res
ident of Anaconda for nearly - years,
little is known here of his antecedents.
He was quiet and self-contained and
not given to condolences.

"Seven hundred thousand dollars Is

w. Hathaway of Helena. deputy col
lector of internal revenue at large,
yesterday.
This district" he continued, ''em-
braces the states of Montana, Utah
and idaho, but Montana contributes
more than the other two states COM
bined. Her proportion is more than
S400 900 These figures are based on
the collections for the fiscal year end
ing June 80" AaG
MIR. Hathaway, with E. B. Largent,
deputy collector at Great Falls, were
in the city yesterday. I'VE are here"
said Mr.. Hathaway. ''for the purpose
of giving out blanks for the ensuing
fiscal year, commencing July l, on
which blanks returns for special tax
will be made. These blanks are given
to drug and liquor dealers and other
people who have special taxes to
pay. mE
1.-THE great proportion of internal
revenue collected comes from Ana
conda and Butte Your local brewery
contributes a large amount.
COLLECTIONS throughout this district
and especially in Montana have been
exceptionally good during the fiscal
year; better than we expected. The
people have paid promptly and with
little grumbling over the war tax.
Every one seems to take the extra
taxation in good part, although now
and then we hear little kicking. No,
there have been no recent important
rulings on the revenue law that af-
feet Montana interests.
ELSEWHERE in the United States the
Internal revenue officials in recent
months have unearthed frauds of con-
siderable magnitude in regard to- the
stamping Of cheap grades of cigars
manufactured by two factories in Ian
caster county, Pennsylvania. Thou
sands of these cigars have been seized
because the stamps on them were
found to be bogus. In Montana, how
ever, there has been no trouble. The
reason is those Pennsylvania cigars are
of cheap grade and not up to the
demands of the Montana people. Prac-
tically none of them are sold here"
Messrs. Hathaway and Largent go
from here to Butte where Mr. Hatha-
way will remain for time, while Mr..
Iargent will go to Dillon to make col
lections there.
