install the NEW FIRE ALARMS
Old Lines Were Torn Down, but the
System Is Now Better Than
Ever Before.

Especial to Inter Mountain.)
Anaconda, May 24.-Chief Mentrum
and his corps of electricians of the Ana
conda fire department yesterday COM
pleted the building of a new alarm sys-
tenn to Mainville, to connect with Fire
Box No. "a.
On account of the Encouragement of
the tracks leading up to the Main street
passenger station and the tearing up Of
the electric car line to Anaconda Lake
park and the hauling down of the poles
and trolley wires formerly in use along
that line. the alarm system to the north
ern part of the city was destroyed, leav-
ing the inhabitants without adequate
protection from fires.
The new line was cut into the alarm
system yesterday and when tested was
found to work like charm.
Chief Mentrum personally looks after
all the electrical work in connection with
the fire department, and takes particu-
lar pains that everything is done in a
strictly up-to-date manner.
The city of Anaconda is certainly for
tunate that the head Of the fire depart
ment is thoroughly competent cleo
trician and can attend to such matters
when necessity requires it, and is there
fore always able to remedy any defect
that might occur.

The line now being built will probably
enter no less than half dozen offices and
for instance, if someone desires to talk
with General Manager Dean the signal
in his office would be the only one to
ring; the one in the Office of chief dis
patcher Hayes would remain silent as
would all others attached to the circuit
Manager Pratt said this morning that
his company has decided to put in great
many nickel-in-the-slot telephones in
this city this year, which will enable
persons of moderate means to keep tele-
phones in their homes at very small ex-
pense. Many people would like to nave
the convenience of telephone service, but
under the old regulations they were too
expensive luxury for those who nave
only limited income to figure on. But
under the new regulations Mr.. Pratt says
1t is possible for nearly everyone to have

rentals, but the subscriber is. furnished
with twenty slugs at the rate OF live
cents each, good for twenty talks over
the local wires, the next eighty outgoing
calls are charged for at the rate OF IL
cents each and whenever more than lOO
calls are made during any month, the
excess above that number are given free
to the subscriber.
Manager Pratt has made many inn
provements in the telephone system TINS

was the installation of an up to date

hotel by an Inter Mountain reporter in
regard to the slot machine and gambling
proposition, he stated that he stopped
In the city to see what was being done
In pursuance to the carrying out of his
orders to close all gambling devices and
keep them closed.
1T is futter folly" said the attorney
general, 'for owners of slot machines
and proprietors of gambling houses to
attempt to eyade the law by closing
down for few hours after being no
titled by the officers to close, and then
opening up again full blast with the
idea OF firing the officers and overcoming
their orders by being persistent. Every
nickel put into one of those slot ma
chimes is new offense, and they each
time leave themselves liable to prosecu-
ton.
II am surprised at the position the
press of the state is taking in this mat
ter They are either cowardly or in
sympathy with gambling.
In answer to the questions put as to
whether 1t Is not fact that slot ma
chimes and gambling still run wide open
IN Helena, Mr.. Donovan said:
Such reports are absolutely false.
Not single slot machine is in sight in
Helena. Great Falls or Missoula, nor in
any other town in the state outside OF
Butte and Anaconda. There may be
some gambling going on in Kalispell
hut the places there are being closed up
That will be the condition throughout
the entire state.
'All the county attorneys will have
to do their duty and carry out my
orders in strict accordance with the
law, or I'll'-then he hesitated and said
f"the law cannot be changed. It pro.
svides for the closing Of all gambling de.
