the dual field meet between Iowa and
Minnesota, the latter capturing ten of

Iowa enjoys the proud distinction of
the foremost dairy state in the union.
The butter product Of the creameries
in 1900 amounted to nearly $780,
GOO pounds and twas worth over
1 SIT ,OOU,0OO on the market. The
Cheese factory of this state, however,
amounted to only little over 1900, 900
pounds and Iowa annually imports
cheese for home consumption. 1t is
sometimes claimed that Iowa is not
adapted to cheese making. These con-
ditions have led to careful investiga-
ton of the subject of cheese making
at the Iowa Experiment Station at
Ames and it has been clearly demon :
strated that practically as good cheese
can be made in Iowa as in the most
lls factories of Canada, the pro-
OF which have made such afavor-
reputation in foreign markets.

Improvement of Streets.
Especial to Inter Mountain


Anaconda, Oct. 3.-Very few people In
Anaconda realize the work done by the
street department since last May. A
ride over the city is sufficient to con-
vince any enc that the improvements
made since last May are extensive and
elaborate and the cost to the city has
been kept down to minimum.
Fourth street, particularly, shows up
we'll. Last spring it was one Of the poor
est streets in town, full OF rocks and
deep holes sufficient to make travel over
that thoroughfare extremely burden
some. Today 1t is one of the best streets
in the city and has become a popular
drive for horsemen as we'll as bicyclists.
From the extreme eastern part Of the
city to the farthest limits on the west
this street has been filled IN and graded.
Washington street, between Third and
Fourth streets, has also been filled up
and greatly improved.
Locust street is undergoing the same
process between Park avenue and
Fourth street, also Van Buren, between
Park and Fourth.
Street crossings and walks In nearly
every part Of the city have received at
tention. Some walks are still in q bad
shape but they are being reached as
rapidly as the street department can get
to them.
The cutters on Main street, which be-
came badly filled up. have been cleaned
out and in fast the street has been

you may have heard city fathers
say, oh, we don't need fire alarm

What a mistake this ia. and how much
more does a volunteer department,
whose members are scattered over
town depending for notice OF fre on
tower bell, the tower bell to be rung by
hand who then have to run to the en-
CINE house to locate it and then arrive
at the fire pretty we'll winded, need the
telegraph system.
1T is different from the paid depart
ment, where the men in the engine house
awaits the tap at all hours.
"And If were laying out fire de-
partment my first investment would be
a fire alarm telegraph, as valuable as
steamer and hose-wagon.
I'm sanitary departments, the effort
now is to prevent the spread of disease,
whereas, formerly the effort was only to
cure. This is also true of fire depart
ments, and every device that can help
that end should be adopted. l would
suggest greater endeavor looking to
means of suprressing incipient fires,
and this can only be done by adopting
the fire alarm telegraph.
Remember that no department is too
small to be without it, the cost Of MAIN
tanning it is very little and the benefits
arc. great. If you can do mo better, at
tach an electrical striker t0yQur tower
bell with a box on the front OF your EN-
CINE house to operate it. This will be
time-saver, and when the box is pulled
1T goes on doing it's work and leaves you
free to open the doors and run out the
apparatus. With this much established
it will be comparatively easy to place
box here and there about the city. thus
having a system of protection. In buy
ing, seek to have good apparatus, al
ways keeping i'll mind that the best Is
the cheapest"

|O'Brien and Small, Of accepting hush
money.
r. The chief then took Gordon to the
Howard Woman's place and in his pres
ence denied hatically that she had
ever made any such accusations.
Gordon's beat was not in Meanwhile last
Thursday night, and it seems very
strange that the policeman who was on
duty there, was not called to inveSt:-
gate the matter. But Mr.. Davis goes
over to town and gets Gordon.
Mayor Stephens desires thorough in
vestigation made, and at the meeting of
the city council next Monday night, the
matter will be referred to the police COM
mitee.
Patrolman Gordon told identically the
same story this morning regarding the
| matter, that he gave in the police court
yesterday at the trial of Bessie Howard.
Gordon's story is that ON the night Of
Sept rs, John Davis came to him and
wanted him to go to Mainville and ar
| rest a woman who had robbed him of
800. Gordon at first demurred. saying
| that it was not on his bea, but finally
| consented to go.
The woman denied having taken the
money and then Davis suggested that
| the matter be allowed to rest until he
could get evidence to convict her of the
| robbery. This was done.
The next day the woman sent for Cor
| don and told him she had admitted to
| Chief Taylor and Assistant Chief O'Brien
that she had taken the money and given
| them Sis each and Officer Smaltz $40
and had kept $40 for Gordon, to hush
the thing up.
Gordon said he refused the money and
reported the matter to Chief Taylor.
who said: 'She threw it all up didn't
| she?" or words to that effect, and told
Gordon they would go and get all the
money back. Gordon says Taylor re-
fused to Arrest the woman, SO he old
| it himself.
| Chief Taylor, speaking of the matter,
said:
Il knew nothing Of the affair until the
morning of Sept 30, when friend OF
Davis told me that he (Davis) had been
robbed. Davis told me he lost $119. He
told Smaltz he lost SIP and swore on
the witness stand he lost 500. I don't
! believe he lost any"
