Anaconda, Dec. Elm about d month
the citizens of this city will enjoy the
privileges of greatly improved electric
lighting facilities. BY that time it is ex-
pected that the dynamoes at the new
concentration building at the Washes
shelters will be fully equipped and ready
for operation.
The present lighting service, while very
good. is not up to the standard desired.
The increased demand for more light and
power has made the present facilities in
adequate for all needs, so when the new
smelters were planned this fact was not
lost sight of.
'We expect to give the citizens Of An
aconda the best service they ever had"
said Mr.. McNuta, when the dynamoes
at the new works are set in motion. 1t
will not be long now until everything
will ne in readiness for the change"
The electric railway cars will be operat-
ed from the same source; in fact every
thing in the way of lighting and power
will be concentrated at one point. The
machinery is the best that could be OBJ
tanned. .
The power house west of town, the
present source Of supply, will be aban
doned.

TURKISH BATHS WANTED.
Anaconda Citizens Promised Luxury in
Near Future. ~.


Especial to Inter Mountain.)
Anaconda; Dec. 6.-For some time past
there has been talk of a Turkish bath
establishment in Anaconda, but as yet
the project has failed to materialize
There was time when the Turkish
baths given in this city were sufficient
to support a first-class outfit, and sew
eral prominent business men who have
been looking into the matter are Of the
opinion that a similar establishment
would pay at the present time.
In speaking of u4le matter one of them
said: There are a great many people
living in Anaconda that go to Butte every
week for no other season than to get a
Turkish bath. 1t seems to me that they
might as we'll be accommodated in Ana
conda as in Butte. There used to be
lighthouses in Anaconda that did a mar
velOus business. OF course that was sew
eral years ago when the town was some
what livelier than it is at present, but
nave no doubt that very prOfita BILE
business could exist in this city right
now"
That Turkish bath is needed in the
city is a well-known fact, and the
chance of having one in the near flu
ture are very good. Turkish baths go
best with barber shops, and realizing
this one of the prominent shops has
made a lengthy investigation Of the mat
ter and as a result they are strongly in
favor of putting in a Turkish bath soon.
There is no doubt but that the citi-
zens of Anaconda will be able to enjoy
that luxury shortly without going to
Butte.

roll Mr.. Twohy hesitated to name any
particular sum as an approximate fig
ure, although he stated positively, that
it would be much smaller than that Of
last year.
Some time tomorrow the report will
be finished and the public will be able
to learn the details of the business.
If the report, as Mr.. Twohy says it
will, shows the smallest delinquent tax
list of any other county in the state, the
citizens of Anaconda will have just rea-
SON for expecting prosperous winter
and holiday season as that will be an
excellent CRITERION by which to Judge
the exact position and future prospects
of the community.

ing on the delinquent tax list for this
year, and although not through they
have progressed far enough SO that an
approximate idea may be gained of the
amount Of taxes delinquent. There will
be on that roll this year a trifiing num-
her; not more than 100 names.
This is by far the lowest number of
linquent taxpayers in Deer Lodge
county. In speaking of the matter this
morning, Mr.. Twohy said:
1.-THE delinquent taxes of the county
have at different times reached high
percentage. I remember of them being
nearly 10 per cent. This year it will
be far different.
Rate Will Be Very Low.
II am of the opinion that the rate will
be lower than ever before in the history
of the county. I understand that
Powell county officials expect a very
low rate. possibly 3 per cent. I am in
hopes that the Deer Lodge county record
will cut that in two.
1T is impossible to state at the pres
ent time just what the percentage will
be, but I would name IL per cent as a
conservative estimate. If this comes
true Deer Lodge county will in all prob
ability have the lowest list of delinquent
taxpayers in the state"
