Spanish Newspapers Welcome to judge Hunt

Recently there arrived in Butte q
Spanish paper published in Porto Rico
which contained warm words Of welcome
20 Judge William H. Hunt, The trans,a
ION from the Spanish was made by Mrs
u. u. Mckee. in one Of her classes in
me language and furnished an inter
aStlng lesson to those who are acquiring
proficiency in Spanish in Butte. The
.ull text Of the editorial welcoming Judge
Hunt to Porto Rico is as follows:
The recent appointment of Hon. Will
lam H. Hunt as governor of Porto Rico
was received by the press ANA people
without any exception with expressions
OF confidence, and offers of assistance to
the new chief Of the colony. He there

conditions. The country supports him.
promising to uphold him with acts of
justice. We do not remember another
statesman who has begun his labors un-
der better conditions nor with happier
auguries.
We have no doubt but that Mr.. Hunt
Will maintain the high moral position i'm
which he is placed by a people who ap-
plaud his devotion and enthusiasm. Our
friends point to him as an official intel

Alice s. N. Barnes Cat that time Mrs.
Anna A. Walker) was next elected to
the presidency, and it is this woman
who holds the helm at present.
The National Women's Christian Tenn
perance union, with it's forty-four auxil-
larry state unions. including that of the
District of Columbia, is the largest So
ciety ever composed exclusively of
women, and conducted entirely by them.
Approximately the number of local
unions in the United States numbers
about ten thousand, including the
Young Womens Christian Temperance
unions, with paid up membership Of
about 100000. and direct following Of
100000. 1t has been organized in every
state and territory of the union. Great
Britain, Canada and Australia, the Ha-
waiian Islands, New Zealand, India and
Japan. Madagascar and South Africa,
have also organized. and there are local
unions in every civilized nation on the
face of the globe.
The society is lineal descendant Of
the great temperance crusade of 1884,
and its object is largely for the purpose
Of educating the young, ironing a bet
ter public sentiment, reforming the
drinking classes and the furtherance
Of the absolute abolition of the liquor
traffic. One of the principal planks in
the platform in the prohibition party
of 1904 will be the canteen question. This
subject has been the one most mooted
in temperance circles since it's abolition
by act of congress, and will be made
first ISSUE
The work Of the organization is COM
prised under the general divisions of
preventive, educational, evangelistic. So
cial and legal heads. with the depart
ment of organization. It's auxiliaries
have been, admittedly. the chief factors
in the state campaigns for statutory pro-
hibition. 1t began the movement for

San Juan respected and applauded, not
by the servile mob, but by the citizens OF
worth and prestige. Be whatever their
beliefs their efforts would sustain the
general good and those that are anx-
ious to throw forth their efforts to the
protection Of liberty without restrictions
and perfect order. If this is accom-
plished whoever may accomplish it will
find himself gaining the gratitude of a
whole nation for conducting himself as
a benefactor and sage.
We desire anXiously that Mr.. Hunt
will reach this triumph SO great. He is
young possesses firm knowledge, is not
dependent on anyone in Porto Rico. He
studies profoundly the problems that
confront him, knows how to measure
and judge the people that surround him.
He is highly cultured. He lacks moth
ing with which to begin we'll his work.
God grant that he may finish in the
same way and that he will never tire
in showing justice nor to apply the law
for the sake of the law itself nor
through the illegitimate influences
which the Porto Ricans abhor and exc
crate, because by such influences we are
delivered of our legendary i'll fortunes,
which will cease the day in which is
inaugurated in the island a profound
Tree and liberal autonomy.

the acts extremely long and tedious.
The chorus girls were shapely Of per-

of the opera very sweet. Forest Hoff.
the leading man, was a gallant figure in
the foremost character, and his singing
and the melodious vocalizations of J.
F. Abbott. who played the fisherman's
role. accounted for the success of the
presentation.
Before the third act the electric lights
either went out by accident or were
stupidity put out, and the theater was
plunged in total darkness so hong that

IMPORTANT TRANSFER.

A deal that had been hanging fire for
some time was finally consummated
last Saturday which means the inn
provement of property on Third street.
1t was the sale of the old Music Hall
corner by j NJ Smith to the Livingston
Mercantile Co. The price paid was
$4,000, and it is the intention of the
latter people to erect thereon large
modern structure, the height or style
of which has not yet been decided up
on, but an architect will be engaged
shcrtly TO draw plans for the same. 1t
has been decided, however, to occupy
every available foot of ground space
This property was formerly owned
by Jacob Kolter, ard was purchased
by Mr. Smith and others in October,
1896, at sheriff sale, for $500, which,
with back taxes, amounted to about
$12, 900. At that time there was front
age on Third street of 100 feet, but
about two years ago "A feet of this
frontage was sold to A. L Kryshak for
So, 400, which left the original parcel
96x120 feet.
The land standing vacant, as it did,
on the main street, and in the heart OF
the city, was not an inviting spectacle
and it is hoped that a large and modern
building will be erected thereon that
will be credit to the city.

TELEPHONE MEETING.

Last Friday afternoon there was a
meeting of the independent telephone
companies in the Wisconsin River Val
ley, held OF the Pilot office, in the city
of Wausau, at o'clock. The follow
ing named representatives were pres
emf:
Grand Rapids-J. A. Gaynor.

Merrill-H. r. Fehland and Julius
Thielman.
misunderstanding Taylor and B.
r. Lewis, who also represented Toma-
hawk.
H. II. Fehland was chosen chairman
and E. b. Thayer secretary.
When the meeting was called it was
for the purpose of getting the commit
tee together which was appointed at
the meeting held last June, to bring
about a consolidation of all the toll
lines in the Wisconsin River Valley,
and that committee consisted of Messrs.
Gaynor Stone, Thielman, Bradley and
Taylor. When that committee arrived
in Wausau, it was. met by E. B. Cot
trill, of Milwaukee. general suPerinten-
dent, and P. j Skolsky, of Eau Claire,
division superintendent of the Wiscon-
sin Telephone company, who wished
to make proposition to the different
independent companies in the valley,
hence it was deemed advisable to call
in the directors of the Wausau tele
phone company. The proposition
made by the Wisconsin company was
to run its ng-distance lines into each
exchange of the different cities in the
valley so that communication can be
had with all subscribers they to fur
nish the Bell receivers and transmitters
in even exchange for those now on the
telephones. This exchange was prin-t
cipally to make everything uniform.
Nearly three hours were taken up in
discussing the proposition when it was
decided that when the Wisconsin com
pany could make satisfactory arrange
ments with all the independent COM
panies interested. another meeting
should be called by Chairman Fehland.
1t is hard to say whether the PROPOSE
ton will be accepted at present writing,
but there is no question but that it
would be great step in advance for
the benefit of telephone users in the
valley.
A meeting of the toll line representa-
tives was held later but little was done
further than to report progress.

"A BUNCH OF KEYS"

Mr.. Chas. Hoyt has ever welded
keen but kindly pen in satirizing the
fads of every day life, but in none of
them has he been happier than in the
satire of hotel life. In this comedy from
the tunnel entrance of the Harum Sea-
rum Teddy TO the final curtain, he dis
plays his keen wit and plays on the
many eceentricities seen in the daily
hotel life. The company presenting
this most successful comedy is one of the
