South Africa by the BOeIS, and one
reason put forward 10 reconcile the

announcing that "the people will not

not be known TO the majority OF those
who triumphsntly quote this provision
to US, that i'll our own United States,
and not south Of Mason and DixOn's

1t might almost apply To the right OF

So much for outlook at home.
Now foF moment let us listen to the
statement Of the BOer envoys on the
question OF the rights Of the blacks in
the twin republics, published in the
Washington Post during their stay in
this country:
1.-THE report that Negroes did not
have fair play in the South African re
publIcs being alluded to, the envoys
said:
1t Is like the other reports just dis
posed Oft Is not true. Americans
who are among us admit the very con
tFary to be the case The fact that na
tives constantly and rapidly increase
proves this. The only discrimination
that is made against the Negroes in
either of the republics is in the matter
of whisky selling. They are not allow

their employers. Please Iemem Der that

AN OPTIN ON
THE SPRINGS
Resort at Pipest0ne Will Soon
Change Hands.
IMPROVEMENTS PLANNED
New Hotel Contemplated-Deal Said
to Involve 500, O0o-Auto-
mobile Line.
IMPROVEMENTS PLANNED

Within a few weeks the Pipestone
Springs situated about Is miles from
Butte on the line of the Northern Pacific
will be under a new management. A
deal was completed last Saturday by
which John H. Curtis, James H. Lynch
and Conroy & Morley have acquired an
option on the property at the Springs in
the sum of $500, 600. The option will be
taken up and a stock company formed.
The new owners contemplate some ex-
tensive improvements this season. Plans
are being drawn for a new hotel which
will be located on the level ground OPP
posite and immediately north of the
present site. This ground is the most
natural location in the valley for a hotel
site as the hot water of the Springs can
be utilized 70 rheating purposes. It
is also proposed to have the hotel lighted
by electricity.
Some $40, 900 or $780, 900 will be expended
in improvements, and the aim OF the
new owners will be to make the Springs
the most attractive resort In the state.
1t is conceded by many physicians that
the curative properties OF the Plpestone
water are not excelled by Arkansas Hot
Springs for certain diseases. The trouble
heretofore has been that the accomoda-
tons of the Springs We're faulty. with
he grounds beautified with trees and
added Accommodations in the matter OF
hotel facilities the new management pro-
poses to overcome all these objections.
An automobile line will be established
from the depot to the Springs. An ef-
fort will also be made to induce the
Northern Pacific Railroad company to
remove it's hospital from Missoula to the
Springs.

AN EXPERIENCE WITH
BUTTE REAL ESTATE,

Phil Conrey one. Of the pioneers of
Madison county and the former owner
OF the Conrey farm at the mouth OF
Alder gulch is visiting friends in the city.
Mr.. Conrey has disposed of most of his
Madison county interests, but still re-
tains considered Butte property which
he purchased about ten years ago. At
that time he acquired several lots on
East Park street for about $500 each.
To-day they are worth from $4,000 to
S. 600 each.
Years ago Mr.. 'conrey was forced to
accept a piece of ground at the mouth
of Alder guloh for a debt Of 5000. Mr..
Conrey objected as he did not consider
the ground worth that amount. He final
ly decided to take it and for several
years made his home on it. A couple
OF years ago the representative of an
eastern syndicate Of capitalists while
~"gopherin9' around the farm discovered
evidences of gold in paying quantities
and the following week Mr.. Conrey was
offered 100000 in cash for his farm.
which he accepted. 3
The ground is now being worked by
dredges and it is claimed that the .pur-
chasers have a little Klondike on their
hands. y

Time" 1t might be an interesting study
for this philanthroplst to put in his spare
time finding out how the clerks really do
spend every spare moment.
He also insinuated that the merchants
who nave signed have been intimfdated
by the fact that the labor union are heart
and soul with the clerks and have en-
dorsed the move. Their names ar
printed daily in the columns Of the daily
papers; let them speak for themselves;
nearly every merchant of repute has sign
ed; are they the kind of men to be fore
ed into anything? He wants the Lady

lady and Salesgentlemen" to ask them
selves questions he has conjured up. IT
he wants to know how we'll they have
weighed the subject, every saleswoman

RE EARLY CLOSING.
To the Inter Mountain:

To the Inter MOuntain:
Talking upon the above movement
some days ago with a friend recently
returned from a VISIT east, T was agree
ably surprised to learn Of the action of
the prominent business merchants Of
Hurley, Wis, and Ironwood, Mich, two
towns of tota1 population of about 1900
and the centers of the from mining in
dustry where, through the action Of the
local Clerks union which has only been
organized less than a year. there OBJ
-tains the 6 o'clock closing. This speaks
volumes for the untiring energy and zeal
Of the organizers of the local union which
has been in existence such a shortAtime.
My idea in referring to the above items
is principally to show that similar con-
ditions prevail in these two towns as do
here. In fact conditions here are bet
ter so far as enabling miners, etc, to
make their purchases before the closing
hour. Miners here getting off at $50
whilst there at 6 p. m.
Speaking individually of the depart
ment stores in New York city. I will
state that all stores close at 6 daily,
Saturdays included, and in the summer
for the space of three months or more
stores close on Saturdays at / p. m.

A WOMAN'S VIEW.
To the Inter Mountain:

To the Inter Mountain:
I read the communication signed
Driver in the issue of last fridays
Inter Mountain and I heartily agree
with the writer. I have felt deeply Tor
the drivers who are obliged to denver
goods all hours of the day and night. l
can recall the fact that nearly every SAT-
urday night it has been after half-past 3,
many times later, before groceries,
meats, etc, I had ordered for Sunday
were delivered. At first I used to worry
when the hour grew SO late for fear we
would nave to fast on the morrow, but
I soon grew accustomed to it. My cook,
worried as she was, I saw several times
invite the driver to have a cup of hot
coffee and a sandwich, and i'm every in
stance the invitation was eagerly &C
cepted. On one OCCASION, when 1t was
far below zero, my husband happened to
be there when the driver came. He
looked as if he were frozen. My husband
asked him to have a drink of whisky to
warm him up. He replied that he was
not a drinking a but he would take it
as he was afraid of freezing before he
could get all his goods delivered; that
during the cold snap it was the only way
he could keep going. While I am in
sympathy with the overworked clerks, I
think I sympathize as deeply with the
drivers, and would approve the early
closing movement for their sake alone.
I can see, since reading that pitiful little
letter, that it means much to all con-
cernled In any way in the trade marts.
! asked my grocery man why his men
could not deliver earlier, and he said it
was impossible under the present system.
I earnestly hope that on March l there
will not be n first-class store, or Sec
Ond-class either, in Butte which will re-
main open after 6 O'Clock.

1ncrea.. of Cream Trade.

The Dairy Commissioner Of Massa-
chusetts says: The consumption Of
cream is increasing very rapidly In
Massachusetts,. In all Of the large
cities cream has become a staple ar
ticle in all grocery and provision
stores, while large amounts are de.
livered by the milk peddler. Most OF
this cream comes from Maine, an6
several Maine creameries have bull,
up an enormous business. Professor
Cooley estimates that only about one.
twentieth of the cream sold in Massa-
chusetts is produced In the state. II
would seem as though the production
of market cream holds out great pos.
sibiltles to Massachusetts creameries,
especially in view of the fact that the
demand for cream is the largest In
the summer, when the production OF
butter Is largest, the surplus most
burdensome and the price the lowest.
Where there Is a market for cream.
butter fat is worth from 2 to 3 cents
pound more in market cream than
in butter. The production of cream
at creameries on the factory plan
promotes uniformity in quality, and
enhances popular confidence in 1t.

by the long, slender abdomen and the
longer and more hairy antennae. In

The egg is OF pale red color, very
minute in size. about fifteenth of an

Tell her that l instructed you to say
that l am in the police station for a

John winked couple of times in a

suggested:
"Supposin'-"
'Supposing nothing, sir. II she asks
who is talking tell her it is the turn
key at the central station, and she'll
never know who told her the lie.'
The waiter shambled away and was
presently seen to be having a good deal
OF fun with himself. The jester In
ferred that it might have something
to do with his case and called him
over.
What's amusing you, John?"
