OTHER SIDE OF POOL ROOMS
How the Question Is Viewed by Citi-
zens Who Are Not Enamored
of the Sport,

Friends of the city administration as
sert that the cause of the closing of
the pool rooms is the decentralization
they are causing among the young men
of the city. and the desire of the mer-
chants that they be closed. The latter
assert that hundreds of men formerly
prosperous and industrious have become
habitues of the pool rooms. and that the
effect upon them is most injurious. Pool
room betting. the merchants say. is a
growing evil which seriously affects. bus
mess and makes the collection of ac-
counts impossible among a class Of men
who were good pay before. 1t is also
alleged that the pool rooms encourage
the presence Of an undesirable class OF

Little Big Horn, in which the gallant
Custer fell, attracted much favorable

staff, who lived for many years near the
battlefield, who knows many residents
of the vicinage most familiar with the
incidents Of the fight, and who has heard
some of the Indian participants them
selves describe every detail of the bloody
work. Mr.. Lisle is one Of the coming
newspaper writer's of the state.

GRASS GROWS TALL
The Green Growth Is springing Lux
uriantly From Montana's
Foothills,

George E. Doll, the we'll known agen;
for the Wright, Barrett &, StillWell paper
house of Minneapolis, is in the city. He
is one of the oldest travelling men on
the road, having covered this country
for more than ten years, rain or shine
Although a city-bred man, and as fas-
tidious as they make 'em, Mr.. Doll "a
also an agriculturist, to the extent that
he holds a homestead west of Kalispell,
which he says is the finest piece of land
out of doors. Speaking of the crop pros.
poets Of the northwest, Mr.. Doll said
this rnC rning:
you would hardly believe how the
grass Is growing all over Montana.
Why, cattle could hide without half try
ing on some of the hills that in ordinary
years would hardly raise dust. Per-
haps the best of all is up along the line
of the Great Northern from Havre west
There is feed there for all the cattle
of the country, apparently. But it is
good all over.
1.-The crops in the Dakotas and Min
nesota We're never better. All kinds Of
farm products, from the Mississippi to
the coast, along the two northern roads,
are promising wonderful returns.
In my own business, all the printers
and newspaper men have the money to
pay their bills. which is not always the
case. They are flourishing like the pro-
verbal weed. Yes, this is the year for
crops and good times all over the north
west, if the present lick is kept up, and
I am glad I am a farmer, to share in
the general prosperity"

The harmony prevailing in the Ohio
republican convention and the fact that
Mark Hanna was not thrown out of
the back window by the committee on
order of business, continue to give pain
to the democratic organs The re-nomin-
alton of Governor Nash, too. seems to
have added to the agony, particularly
as the convention resolutions commend
his administration as wise and economi-
cal. OF course the democratic organs
know better than that. The whole thing.
they say. was the work of the archfiend
Hanna, the man who reached out his
bony arm last fall and removed the scalp
from the seething brain of the free trade
demigod, Bryan. Hereafter when the
Ohio republicans hold convention they
would better hang Mark Hanna in
effigy over the presiding officers desk
and adopt 'Queensbury rules for the set
Element of all disputes. Then there will
be no charges Of republican bossism by
the Anaconda Standard and the Lincoln
(Neb.) Commoner.

IT'S THE BUTTE PRESS CLUB
An Organization Of News Writers Who
Are Bent on Promoting Good
Tel1owshin

Newspaper men of Butte are engaged
just at present in forming press club
A few evenings ago meeting was held
and committee appointed to take steps
for the formation of a club that would
be in all respects as we'll equipped for
the work of a press club is supposed to
do as any of the clubs of it's kind in the
west. The committee had a meeting
last evening and business of Importance
was transacted. ]. j.. McMurray, for
years the efficient secretary of the Mon
tana press association and the president
of the organization last year, was chair
man of the committee, w. w. Cheeley
the millionaire reporter, was secretary
and Jack Lindsay, one of the enthusiasts
in the press club scheme, acted as treas
urer of the primary Organization. It
was decided to draw up rules and regu-
lations governing the press organization
and model these after the San Francisco
and Salt Lake organizations. The work
of compiling the rules is now going for
ward.
There are in the city of Butte nearly
half hundred men eligible to member
ship in such an organization as is con-
templated. The membership will be con-
fined exclusively to men engaged in the
newspaper business whose stories APP
pear from day to day in the newspapers
published in Butte. The purpose of the
organization Is to promote good fellow
ship among the fraternity Of the press
and carry into the on-coming generation
of newspaper workers something of the
sterling principles of friendship that OBJ
tanned in the old days of Montana news
paper making. The organization will
include the news writer's and editors of
the Butte papers and the men who have
charge of the advertising pages.
There is first rate prospect of a
good press club being formed before
/ many days among the writer's of the
Butte newspapers. A meeting will be
held Sunday evening to hear the report
of the committee on organization.
Several times during recent years at
tempts have been made to organize
Butte's newspaper men into a fraterna
organization but the attempts generally
ended in failure.

For nearly twenty years Butte was
known all over the Union as city hav-
ing the worst hotels that ever hap
pened." Although the state metropolis
boosted the finest climate, the most
beautiful parks and gardens, and the
noblest architecture west of Chicago.
travellers hesitated to come here on ac-
count of the lack of first-class hotel ac-
commodations. Even when our wealthy
citizens put down asphalt in their front
yards and painted it green, to convey
the impression of perennial grass platS
and lawns, which the smoke should not
injure the added attraction was INSULT
cient because there was no hostelry here
equal to the entertainment Of the public.
But now the scene IS changed. The

MONTANA MINES ARE ALL RIGHT
Treasure State Properties Have Good
Reputation in the East-Bear
Gulch Looking Up,

Alex Livingston was in Butte yester-
day and shook hands with the small
army of friends here who are always
glad to see the genial Park county man.
He gossipped about the ball team Liv-
ingston is supporting this year and
descanted about the mines of the east
ern side of the range that divides the
state. He has recently been on a trip
to the east, and pulled a mining venture
through while away.
Montana is the great state" said the
tall Livingstonite to the pencil pusher
for the Inter Mountain. when you tell
them in Chicago you are from Montana
they are ready to talk business with
you. They have all heard of the state
and have confidence in it's mineral re-
sources. I met large number of men
in Chicago who could talk more intelli-
gently concerning the stocks of the lead
ing Butte properties than many residents
of the state. The big mining companies
have given wonderful stability to the
mining business of the state. People Of
the east appear to believe that the
small mining ventures of the state par
take of the eXcellencies of the big con-
Germs, and it is easy to talk business
on such a basis.
1.-THE Robinson Mining company OF
Park county is making great hearway
in the camp of Bear gulch, at the head
waters of the Yellowstone, said the
Park county man. 1.-THE gold mines at
that camp are in good condition, and
there is not sign of anything like
trouble ahead for the miners who are
engaged in the work of development.
Everything looks better than it has for
long time, and there is a good pros
pect for one of the best camps in the
state being built there. During the past
month improvements have gone ahead
at a wonderful rate at Bear gulch, and
in fact all over Park county"
| Mr.. Livingston is one of the leading
bankers of the eastern part of the state
and is regarded as one of the substan>
tial business men of the state, who has
at all times the interests of the state s
industries at heart. He will leave for
home today.

while awake the impression of having
seen human being and had that i'm
preston coincide with the time of the

the experience Of the subjects as re-
lated to him and does not attempt to
account for the premonitions.
1t might be said, however. that the
fact that 40 per cent Of those who
wrote to him had had telepathic ex-
periences does not indicate such an
average among the human family. The
three periodicals whose readers he ask
