Ticket agents and railroad men gen.

ably interested in the news from the
east that the proposed great railway
combines are to do away with several
thousands of subordinate officials who
now serve individual roads. The latest
is from st. Paul, that if the combines
work as the promoters now desire, the
Great Northern. the Northern Pacific and
the Burlington agencies are to be COM

there would not be so much object in
making the great combinations. They
are for the purpose Of reducing expenses.
OF course. the Office force will have to
be kept up large enough to handle the
combined business, but it will allow the
dropping Of many men from the pres

the stockholders dividends. Especially
will it affect the higher priced men, those
who now serve in confidential capacity
for their roads. Cheap clerks will be
in demand. but the better class of men,,

Chance of a Lifetime.

A prominent resident of Butte con-
nected with big eastern company in
an official capacity yesterday received
the following tempting proposition:
Dear Strive are DESTROYS of secur-
Ing a reliable and active agent in your
city. We know from experience, that
you are in better position to give US
the address of such person than any
one to whom we could apply.
II you will kindly send us the address
OF two or three suitable persons, we will
endeayor to secure their services. If
successful, we will send you a fully paid
certificate for one share of stock as soon
as the contract is signed. AS a further
appreciation of your trouble and kind
ness, we will send you fully paid GER
tificate of four shares of stock as soon
As the subscriptions and remitttances
from sak agent reach a total of 100
shares.
The five shares of stock that we offer
you absolutely free, will be worth it's
face value within 80 days and may
bring you an independency, as a COM

This is strictly confidential, and your
reply will be treated the same. Kindly

GALLATlN VALLEY FARMS
WILL HAVE TELEPHONES
The Rich Ranchers in the Winter
Wheat Belt Can Afford Costly
Luxuries

Lee Warren, we'll known resident of
Gallatin county, was among the arrivals
in the city yesterday. He is a druggist
in his home town and divides his time
between operating mortar and pestle
and conducting farm which he owns in
the fertile valley near town.
Once upon time Mr.. Warren lived in
Missoula and he is we'll known in other
sections of the state also. His connec-
ton with the organization of druggists
il the state gives him considerable prom
inence and he is regarded as one Of the
most progressiv of all the men engaged
in that line of business in the state.
All day yesterday Mr.. Warren and
Doc Newbro We're chums. The man from
Eozeman tipped the Butte man off to
large number of timely suggestions
about running Fourth of July celebra
ton. Both the druggists have patriotic
blood in their veins and the talk they
had was very interesting one.
Il came to Butte to buy some material
for a telephone line we are putting up
il the Gallatin valley" said Mr. Warren
to an Inter Mountain reporter. 1--WE are
expecting to put in a line through the
winter wheat belt of the valley and the
Gil Gle described by the line will connect
all the large farms with the city. I find
that I can get all the brackets and poles,
insulators and wire, need right here in
Butte and as they are shipped in by the
car load lot 1 will be able to secure them
| about as cheaply as if they came to us
direct from the east.
THE Gallatin valley farmers are maxi
| ing a number of improvements this year.
| They will have telephone lines all over
| the valley and may establish system
| of rural mail delivery before long. The
signal prosperity of the past few years
| have placed the residents Of the county
| in position to have about everything
| they want"
| Mr.. Warren left for home today taking
with him a supply of the material needed
| for the telephone line and the good
| wishes of Doc Newbro from whose
shoulders he had lifted great load by
his sagacious tips relative to Fourth OF
July celebrations.

amined until it was mustered out.
There is comparatively little fighting
in the islands now: nothing but indi-
vidual lighting, or engagements with
small bands that take to cover as soon
as the soldiers appear" said Lieuten-
ant Fisk. "Our regiment was all through
the mountains near where Aguinaldo
was captured. and when we left there
was scarcely an insurgent to be seen.
Indeed, I secuted for several weeks
through the widest of the mountaiA

Livingston's Crack Team Proves No

What the local ball tossers did not do
to the Livingston team yesterday after
noon is not worth mentioning. The WIS.,

Montana amateur league and great
things We're expected of them. The
smoke eaters on the other hand have not
had any too much luck and not great
deal was looked for from them, but the
unexpected happened and the manner
in which Butte jumped onto the visitors
and pounded the ball all over the lot was
shocking.
At that, however, Butte did not put up
a gilt edged game. The play of both
teams was ragged and that was partly
due to the cool weather. Still there was
enough excitement about the game to
keep the crowd interested and the fire.

Race Track Betting.

The report current on Saturday that
Mayor Davey intended to invoke tie
power of the law to stop betting at the
race track probably did an injustice to
that excellent official. Every good ci:i-
zen Of Butte stands ready to indorse
any genuine and reasonable plan to
purify this city. and applaud any publ,
officer for executing his duty under tie
law. There is no doubt of the democrat
ization that would have resulted but for
the restraints recently imposed on CO.
tain forms of sporting in this com-
ducing certain elements Of the popula-
ton to seek other means of livelihood
or other places of residence.
It is not wise, however. to attempt too
much all at once, nor go to extremes in
seeking to discourage gambling in city
where it has existed since the pioneer
days Horse racing on home race
track under the management of repu-
table business men is the least objec-
tionable form of sport. The general
Of some sort. That which is least objec-
tionab BILE should be encouraged while the
other is tabooed, SO there would be moth
ing inconsistent in stopping pool-room
gambling and allowing legitimate horse
racing with the added excitement Of
betting. A few weeks Of racing once a
year is far different from constant pool
room betting. A summer meeting during
the dog days helps business, gives the
people something to talk about beside
mining law suits, and affords all classes
a season of recreation. The horsemen
may not bring much money with them,
but they hardly ever take any away.
They simply enliven the circulation Of
what is here.
Such is the sentiment of the people on
the subject of race track sport. They
recognize the vast difference between
that and pool-room plunging. If the
association is properly encouraged and
a square deal assured, the town VIII
suffer no harm. Any attempt to stop
betting at the track would not be al
visable unless the intention is to make
farce and failure of the reform move
ment so auspiciously begun by the new
administra ton.
There is nothing in the anti-gambling
law of this state which prohibits betting
on horse races at race tracks. Pool
room betting within the city limits
proper may be covered by ordinance OF
abated for other reasons. but there is nc
ordinance against race track betting
and it is doubtful whether the city
council could make such an ordnance
effective.
If it were the intention of the city off

suggestion is that the association be lei
