tsrass Tags for tho Dogs-Another Dor
Catcher Needed.
Great Falls, May 24.-The brass tags
Tor the licensed dogs have arrived, and
hereafter it will behoove every owner
OF pup, be he a high bred setter or
the Kind that the average man would
pay "a hobo 81 to kill, to secure this tag
from the city treasurer and see that it
IS carefully attached to the collar. 1t
Is also probable that the city attorney
Will recommend to the council an ordi-
nance creating the office of dogcatcher,
whose only income shall be the fees at
dollar per pup, captured and killed or
redeemed by the owner. AS the matter
now stands, the city has Poobah, in
that one man fills the office of dog
catcher, of poundmaster and of SAM
tarY policeman. Such an ubiquitous
officer necessarily cannot attend to all
OF his duties at the same time and
therefore receives much blame which
may or. may not be deserved He is
supposed to be looking after the sani-
tary condition of drains, and while he
is doing that hundred cows may
break loose in another part of the city
and firt over dozen gardens to their
ruin and the wrath of the owner Or
there may be dog complained of in
one section of the city and some indig-
nant citizen in another will be paving
the air because he cannot at that mo-
ment get the ear of the sanitary police
man to enter a kick about a neghbor's
cess pool. And so it goes through the
80 weary days of the month
Should the council listen favora bly, to
the city attorney and create the sepa-
rate office of dogcatcher with a. contin-
gent salary, there would be one man
whose best energy would be stimulated
to the task of reducing the number of
worthless ours now in the city and not
only would he realize considerable
sum out of the office. but the city would
materially increase it's revenue. There
would be no added expense to the city
and better work would be had. More
over, the number of dogs allowed to
run at large would be visibly decreased
and the conditions of life for the man
who has to walk much would be great

REPLACED BY INDIANS
A Change Made in Positions on
the Reservation.
WHITE MEN THROWN OUT
Subordinate Positions Will Be Given to
Graduates of the Training
Schools-It Will Prevent
Tribal Relations.

Great Falls, May 24-It was stated
last winter in this column that the In
dams of the Blackfeet reservation were
uneasy and dissatisfied and among the
causes of the latter was the fact that
white men were being employed on the
reservation in capacities which the In
dians felt that they could fill equally as
well. This statement met with more or
less poohpoohfng at the time from va
rlous quarters and it is worthy of note
that the department at Washington has
now ordered that all white men hold
ing subordinate positions on the reser-
walton be replaced by Indians. This
Will include such positions as carpen-
ters, blacksmiths and other craftsmen.
Inc idea is ITO make the Indian as self
SUSTAINING as possible. The government
IS now furnishing Industrial schools to
the red men, and for many years they
nave received this particular kind of
training, SO that many of them ought
TO be skilled workmen. Besides being
OF use to the Indians personally, it is
Thought the change in methods will con-
tribute to preventing the renewal of
tribal relations.

WILL Do THEIR SHARE
Plan for a Boulevard to the Six
Mile House.
OFFER TO THE COUNCIL
County Commissioners Make Propo-
sition-City Should Bear at Least
Half OF the Expense of the
Construction Work.

If the city of Butte, or rather the
council, will aid the county commission
ers in the proposed enterprise, the peo-
pie of the city hay now have the much
longed-for driveway and bicycle track
from the city south to the Six Mile
house. The scheme was first talked up
by the bicyclists, of whom there are
thousands in the city. The only place
where a decent spin can be taken is on
the fiat, which is also the only place for
a drive. The county road there has
never been in good condition for either
and the bicyclists have always been at
the mercy of teams, which take the
right-of-way. More than a year ago
the proposition was made to the county
commissioners that one side of the road
be graded and set apart for the wheel
men and was received favorably, but
yet nothing further was done than to
discuss the matter. Mayor Harrington
was approached at the same time and
gave 1t as his opinion that the city
should. and probably would, assist in
making the proposed improvement. Re-
Gently the matter was again brought
before the commissioners, but the
scheme had widened in scope, and pro-
vided for a driveway or boulevard, with
bicycle paths on each side straight
away from the city limits to the Six
Mile house. The commissioners are
ready to do their share toward build
ing it, but believe the city should con-
tribute at least half the expense. and
yesterday the following communication
on the subject was sent to the council:
ITO the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of the City of Butte:
Conference.-The board of county
commissioners and the county surveyor
are DESTROYS of building serviceabe
boulevard from the present southern
limits of the city of Butte southwark to
the Six Mile house, said boulevard to
consist of a driveway 60 feet in width,
with pathways on each side thereof Is
feet in width for the use of bicyclists;
provided. however, that your honorable
body will lend your cooperation and
assistance thereto in the following man.
ner, viz: t'
That you will have the city engineer
cooperate with the county surveyor in
making the necessary surveys and in
the preparation of estimates of the cost
of the said proposed boulevard.
That the city of Butte will pay one
half the cost of all work done and ma
terial furnished when said proposed
boulevard shall have been completed.
This board feels that you will agree
that the improvement contemplated is
of more value to the citizens of the city
of Butte than to the county at large,
and, as the city receives two thirds Of
all special road taxes collected the
board feels that the city should stand
at least one-half the cost of said pro-
posed Improvement if not more. The
board would like to receive a decisive
reply at an early date
If the city will meet the county half
way Butte will have one of the best
driveways and bicycle tracks in the
West

3, rs cents, and at tunnel No. 8, 20 cents,
The plaintiff alleges that he employed a
large crew of men and teams and en-
gagged in the task and got out the tim
bers and hauled them to the town of
Neihart, adjacent to the mine named in
the contract. Although the contract
ran only for one year, the defendant
company has taken and used but Is of
the timbers and about 1000 feet of crib

DIDN'T WANT 1T.
And Miss Julia A. Murphy Had an Ex-

cellent Excuse to Offer.
When the board of education elected
the corps of teachers Tuesday night,
official announcement of the marriage
of one of the elect had not been re-
ceived. When the young bride saw her
name in the printed list of teachers she
wrote out her resignation and sent it
to the clerk Of the board. Miss Julia
A. Murphy, one of Butte's most popu-
lar school teachers. was welded Mon
day last in Anaconda to r. T.. Mason,
civil engineer for the Boston & Mon
tana of this city. 1t is understood that
Mr.. and Mrs. Mason will make their
home in Michigan.
1t is also whispered in high educa-
tional circles that before school opens
next fall there will be some more of the
same kind of surprises. Those who pre-
tend to know just what they are talk
ing about say that at least five Of the
young ladies elected by the board Tues
day night will take unto themselves for
better or for worse as many young
men. None of these, however, are say
Ing anything about designations, for
Butte school teachers are noted for
their Independence, and II the young
men by word, deed or action disqualfy
themselves for matrimonial favors, the
school room will be taken in preference.
If, however, on the other hand, the
young men deport themselves according
to Hoyle the school room will be for
saken and designations will then be in
order.

UNEXPECTED ENERGY.
Court House Officials Are Getting Onto
the Curves.

Great Falls, May 24.-The officials of
the court house are developing an I'M
usual amount Of energy in these days,
an energy which hitherto was entirely
anguessed. Almost every evening which
does not require the wearing of mack
intosh will see a number of the officials
and their deputies out in the back lot
vigorously pursuing the ball Even AS
SCISSOR Bill Birkenbuel has caught the
fever, and although his enemies allege
he could not distinguish a baseball
from tumble weed, and could as easily
hit the mote that floats in a sunbeam
as ball pitched by hand that knows
its business, he still runs a very good
bluff. and in his Office has balls, bats,
mitts and liverpads piled up until the
visitor imagines that he has strayed
into a shop for sporting goods rather
than the assessors office. Bill made his
canvass last fall on the representation
that he was merely an everyday sort of
rancher, but it is whispered that his
country constituents have learned of
his latter-day capers and say that he
has been corrupted by city life and are
demanding his return to rural scenes.

STOCKHOLDERS
SATISFIED.
They Dispose Of Their In
terCsts to Diamond
State Steel COM
pany.

Tho s ock holders OF the Diamond State
Iron Company yesterday afternoon ap-
proved tho transfer of their interests to the
Diamond State Steel Company. and with
in q few days tho formal transfer Of the
stock will be made.
Tho advantages to be gained by the trans
fer were fully explained to the stockhold-
ers, and every detail of the deal was gone
into. The Diamond Steel Company has a
mond State Iron { olnpany a capital stock
ofSl, 100000. The companies combined will
have II capital stock of $4,000. 900. AL the
S took wns represented.
Alt,r the organization OF the new Com
pany work on now plant along the
riv0r front will be commenced.
The Company has purchased two tracts
of land through Daniel W. Taylor. Both
properties practically adjoin the present
land of the Diamond State Iron Com
pany. The first tract sold by Mr. Taylor
ra' thirty-six acres belonging to the Lob
dell Car Wheel Company. 1t is on the
south side of the Christana river adioin-
ing the land Of the Diamond State Iron
Company and on the west. 1t has 'front.'
age of LOCO feet OH the Chris.iana river
and runs back to the Wilmington and
Northern and Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road tracks. This gives the Company the
benefit or the railroad lines or the Penn
sylvania. Baltimore and Ohia and Phila-
delpha, and Reading systems. This is
one of the best tracts of land along the
Chlistiana river, and the water front is
excellent. In addition to this it joins the
present land of the company, which is Of
course, an advantage.
The second tract of land purchased con-
tains something over torty-niue acsas, and
was sold by MIR. Taylor for the Christiana
River Improvement Company. 1t is On
the south Si1e' over Third street bridge
and practically joins the property of the
old company on the east 1t Is bounded
by Commerce street, the Christiana river
and Christana Avenue, and extends up to
the land of the National Dredging Com
pnny. 1t is opposite tho mouth of the
Brandywine and has frontage of over
20,O feet on the Chrstiana river. No bet.
ter site for manufacturing establish
mcnt was located OH The river than this.
The additional frontage on tho river will
give the new syndicate an immense water
front, as it already has ~ largo river front
on he property Of the Diamond State
Iron Company. This was desirable bs-
cause the new concern expects to receive
considerable iron and raw material by
water and will also mako large water
shipments away from this city.
