until yesterday he was puzzled as to
the cause of it.
He hunted up the chief gardner when
he first noticedit and proceeded to inform
him that he did not exercise due care in
sprinkling of tc lawn. that he did not
give the grass sufficient amount Of
water each day.
The gardner thought perhaps he had
sprinkling the lawn. that he did not
had fairly cooked the green grass and
for that reason it died
Finally 1T occurred to both the sheriff
and the gardner that they were both
wrong, when they remembered that the
men who put up the fence recently had
burned a considerable quantity of sui
phur while doing so.
This explained the whole situation and
now the sheriff is thinking seriously OF
putting in claim to the county commits
siOners against the contractors who are
the cause of the destruction to the lawn.

Anaconda. July 1.-THE heavy rain
storms that have prevailed during the
last few weeks have played havoc with
the bicycle path between Anaconda ana
Greyson Springs.
''In a number of Places" said Presi.
dent Brown Of the Cycle Path and Good
Roads association, last night, these
heavy rain storms have caused the 1rri-
cation bitches to overflow and wash out
the track. quite badly, but all the places
can be repaired with comparatively lit
tie trouble.
''To guard against future trouble Of
this kind the association will have to go
to considerable expense in building few
culverts and filing in with ashes and
gravel wherever Il Is needed.
eOf course, we cannot do this work
this year. but by next spring the path
ought to be in first-class condition in
every respect"
There is agitation among members OF
the association regarding the matter Of
petitioning the city council to pass an
ordinance requiring all riders to pay q
yearly license into the city treasury, the
proceeds derived in that manner to be
applied to the betterment and improve
ment of bicycle paths.
The plan is being operated successfully

Anthused since the matter was preached
here. So far. not an objection has been
raised by members of the association,
and there is little doubt appropriate ac-
ton will be taken at an early date.

AMERICAN FINANCES
Given Prominent Place in Report of
Russian Minister.

st. Petersburg, Feb. Americans or
Englishmen who generally leave budg-
cts, annual estimates and balances, tax
bills and appropriation bills to the
statesmen, politicians and lobbyists,
would be astonished at the intensity of
interest in the Russian budget. It is an
engrossing topic Of conversation in wide
circles q. month or more after publiea-
ticn. The reasons for this are not diff
cult to find The first is that the annual
estimates in Russia, owing to the direct
intervention of the government in every
sphere of business and of life, directly
affect an infinitely greater number Of
people than in England, America. or,
indeed, any other European county The
second is the comparative paucity of
public utterances by this government.
The minister of finance is the only min
lister who has the floor at a stated time
for general remarks His report on the
annual estimates therefore corresponds
to some extent to the presidents annual
message, and the speeches from the
throne from other monarchies.
The figures and statements which are
published here on January 1 (old style
are worth the interest which is taken in
them A fully intelligent reader of the
figures would have a fair knowledge of
what goes on in Russia 1t Is safe 10

This discussion is aprop0S of dfuaint-

Referring to the estimate of the cost OF

is composed of grants above the estimates
made to the ministries of war, marine

outlay required in 1900 in order to put the
troops in the Amur and Siberian districts
on war footing. He says that of course
this sum, together with the extra as

embrace all the losses caused by Russia
by these lamentable occurrences" Part
of the expenses have fallen on '.other dis

railway have already affected the BUDGET
