THE PAINT AND TAR MUST GO
Wool Clips Ruined by Too Liberal
Application of These
Brands.

Paint and tar are two materials used
In the branding of sheep. the use OF
which wool buyers are strenuously OPP
posed to- said the agent of an eastern
wool concern to a representative of the
Inter Mountain at the Thornton this
morning Montana wool growers make
a serious blunder by branding their
sheep in this fashion, and the sooner they
learn of their error the better for them
financially.
This use of paint and tar forms an old
grievance, which the flight of time does
not tend to lessen. l saw large mass
of wool shipped from this state not long
ago of which the color predominating
was dirty red. This certainly lessened
the value of the commodity. and yet
would be willing to wager that when
protest was made to the sheepmen ship
ping the wool he was highly indignant
and claimed that his was the best wool
to be obtained in the county at any
price.
1.-The wool is generally branded with
liquid colors, not soluble in water. which
do not even yield completely to the in
fluence of the chemicals used In the dye
room. Such woods are naturally discrim-
mated against by the purchasers and
manufacturers. Trades are frequently
lost by the discovery made by an intend
ing purchaser of an undue amount OF
coloring matter in the wool.
There is neither rhyme nor reason for
the grower branding his sheep in the
manner described. It seems the easiest
and least expensive manner of branding
them but it always proves the costtiest
in the end. There are various ways OF
branding sheep that may be a trifle more
troublesome and expensive in the be-
ginning, but that are decided economy
in the end. If wool growing is to be
pursued as competitive industry in this
part of the country, modern methods
must prevail from start to finish"

ESTATE OF MARSHALL GREENE

The estate of Marshall S. Greene has
been valued at $1,51A.6S by r. Campbell,
J. A. Coleman and D. G. Durham.
Greene was formerly managed of the
Western Union Telegraph companys
office in this city. When the war with
Spain broke out he enlisted in the sig
nal corps and went to the Philippine
islands, where he died about four months
ago.
Shortly before his death was an
nounced his wife secured decree of
divorce from him In the district court
here but after his demise became known
the decree was set aside on the ground
that the fee for entering it, in the
Judgment docket, had not been paid
within the required time.
The dead mans son then applied for
letters of administration, on the estate,
but sister Of the deceased, residing
in Denver. opposed the appointment on
the allegation that the young man was
not trustworthy person. This resulted
in the appointment of Attorney Sanders,
who has charge of the effects of the
dead man.

There are three veins in the Smoke

DID NOT LIKE THE FOREMAN
Ard It Resulted in the Closing of a
, Mine and Smelter.

Judging by information sent out of
Rossland, B. c., few days ago, Butte
is not the only place in which there are
troubles in connection with the opera
ton OF smelters. The message from
Rossland says:
Between 120 and $50 men were laid
off at the LIE Roi today. Inquiry of the
management as to the cause brought the
statement that the men were dismissed
as result of trouble at the smelter at
Northport. Trouble has been brewing
there for several days, and the matter
was finally completely closed. The 800
men employed there are out.
"A foreman in the smelter earned the
i'll will of some of the employees, and as
a consequence it is alleged threats We're
made that he was to be run down the
railway track, and that he might be
thrown into the Columbia river.
1.-THE management of the smelter
therefore decided to close until such
time as matters should quiet down. The
only work in progress Is that of roast
ing ore in the yards.
1T is declared here that no question
of wages nor of hours is involved. bue
that the trouble is simply one of a
on the part of the smeltermen.
IF the trouble continues, the Ross
land Great Western, the LIE Roi No.
and the LIE Roi will all be closed down
as the yards at the smelter at Northport
are not of sufficient capacity to hold
much more ore.''

GIVE CHILDREN A DAY OF Joy
A Car Ticket to the Gardens Would
Bring Sunshine to Little
One1

ut is said that Senator Clark was
moved to buy and improve Columbia
Gardens by seeing several forlorn chill
dren playing in the dust in the street,
with no place else to go and play" said a
lady passenger on the gardens car today.
1T is to be hoped that some of Butte's
'philanthrcpic men and women will be
moved to see that many of the little
tots go out to the gardens this summer.
1t was lovely of the senator to fix up
those gardens, but it would have been
loveliar still If they were nearer. where
the children for whose benefit the gar
dens were beautified could enjoy them.
Then again, the fare might be reduced
for the poor children only.
1T would be easy to find out the chil-
dren of the poor-the ones to whom a
nickel is a pretty big piece of money,
and the 20 cents required for fare an
impossibillty," continued the lady. 1T
was pathetic to watch some Of these
children on Arbor day. when Senator
Clark gave the mall free transportation
to the gardens. Every moment was en-
joyed and group after group would stea,
away to the adjacent hills, and they
went home laden with spoils which
yet worth to them SO very. very much.
Tickets could be given to the ladies
of the Associated Charities to distribute
to the children of the poor and they could
so give them out there would never be
a crowd, just one or two little ones added
daily to the throngs Columbia bound.
Twenty-Five tickets per week would be
no loss. for the users would not so
otherwise, but it would enable every
child of poverty to visit the gardens
many times and go very far indeed to
refining them, by giving them some OF
the beauty Of the world to think Of
If one man or woman in ten would
buy one child passage to and from the
gardens, it would mean happiness for an
army Of children. The company, If 1t Is
brought to thei. attention. will probably
issue separate round trip tickets to be
used in such a cause. There are more
ways to reform and help the children OF
the poor than to force them to attend
Sunday school: through nature they can
be taught to look up natures GOD.

Different IN NEW JERSEY
Courts There Have Sized Up the
Heinze- Amalganated
Trouble

A recent issue of the Boston Financial
News contains the following (under
New York date) concerning the proposed
consolidation of the AmaiSamated.
Butte & Boston and Boston & Montana
interests:
- interests which are attempting
to block the consolidation of the ANAL
gamated Boston & Montana and. Butte
& Boston companies declare their inten-
ton to await the official announcement
of the terms which are offered to the
stockholders of the two latter compa-
MES on behalf of the ANA lgamated be-
fore taking any further steps in the mat
ter. They declare that the directors of
the Amalgamated company have signi-
fled their intention of communicating
with the stockholders before carrying
out the proposed combination although
under their charter they could have
proceeded without taking the minority
stockholders into their confidence.
THE attempts to block the consolida-
ton are SO clearly in the interests Of
Mr.. Heinze, who is fighting the Boston
& Montana company in the Montana
courts, that it is pretty difficult to see
how he or any Of his agents can secure
standing in the New Jersey courts
as a protector Of the same stockholders
whose aVOWed enemy ne is IN the MOI
tana courts. The same logic would APP
ply to the Amalgamated company,
which Mr. Heinze is also fighting in
Montana, while posing as the protector
i, New Jersey. There is a vast differ
ence between fighting Mr. Heinze before
the impartial judiciary of New Jersey
and in certain of the Montana courts.
There is no way to stop holder of
stock from bringing suit if he has a
good case, or a lawyer clever enough
to invent a plausible pleading There
were indications of weakness in state
ments nv Heinze interests that If the
terms, when announced, were seen to be
beneficial to all companies, they would
probably raise no more dffic"'t'es Th'~
was taken to mean that further efforts
to stop the consolidation were regarded
as futile.
''Those in control of the interests Of
the three companies are certainly not st
all alarmed or anxious over the situa-
ton, but naturally spectators on mar
gins Effected by the fluctuations
o~,e'r~ out of the legal battles. The
plans FOR consolidating the companies
named are certain to be successful, and
later on there will undoubtedly be fur
Their consultations, which will in all
likelihood include the best of the lake
properties and Senator Clark's United
Verde"

Bo0TBLAcKs ON THE BRAIN
Henry Frankel Thinks His Foes Are
Among the Boys Who Shine
Shoes

Henry Frankel, who is in the county
Jail awaiting an examination into his
mental condition, is possessed ct a
queer hallcination. Among other things
he imagines that all of the bootblac!ls
in the city are engaged in an attempt
to knock" him and prevent him from
securing work.
Frankel is a young man of rather
fine address and appearance. He has
had considerable experience as a hotel
employee. but has not had much to do
in his line since he came to Butte. A
short time ago his funds gave out and
he grew Respondent. He possessed a
lot of fine clothes and some valuable
jewelry, which he began to pawn to
raise money with which to defray his
expenses. A very fine diamond set ring
was hypothetical for $50 and of the
sum raised $13 was found on him when
his arrest occurred. Since his confine-
ment in the Jail he has slept little and
eaten less, but is not at all violent in
his demeanor.

CONSERVATION IN THE CLUBS

'"There has been an air of subdued
sadness about the women addicted to
the pernicious habit of playing cards for
prizes at afternoon tea parties which has
aroused curiosity" said Butte lady to
an Inter Mountain reporter this morn
ing. Their name is legion, card clubs
in every section of the city, whist,
euchre, any old thing which would en-
able them to win chop plate marked
down from 50 to 45 cents, or a lop-sided
vase, price not mentioned.
ut Is all the work Of Attorney General
Donovan, who has said there shall be
no gambling nor games of chance. AT
a club in Walkerville the hostesS called
attention to this edict, and horror Tell
upon them. The woman who had won
a picture of Baby Stuart forgot to take
it home with her, having a vision before
her eyes Of Donovan and his minions
bearing down on her and hauling her
off to Jail. It spread to all the clubs and
CONSERVATION followed in its wake. AS
a result, a number Of the clubs gave 10
prizes, apd what a spiritless affair e1Qh
afternoon game was! Two disbanded
for the summer, and the others prepared
to follow suit.

SAYS THE STRIKE Of
MACHINISTS IS WON

AGREEMENTS ARE BEING SIGN
ED EVERY DAY.

Washington, July president
O7ConneI Of the International Associa-
ton of Maehinists said. today that he
regarded the machinists' strike as
practically won.
Even if an order should be issued at
this time directing all men out to re-
turn to work on the Old basis. the nine
hour day would be wOns'
Continuing, he said: THE movement
has been attended with every success
and in many respects is the most re-
markable struggle on record. There are
now only 5000 men out, and agree
ments are being signed every day re-
ducing this number
1T has not been a strike. 1t has
been simply a cessation of work A
strike, to the mind Of the public, means
riot and bloodshed- The machinists
have had none of these. 1t is true
there have been one or two cases of
assault, but these are liable to occur
at any time, and cannot be chargeable
to the machinists."
The first financial aid to be re-
ceived Dy the machinists since their
strike began was accepted by Presi-
dent O'COnnell in the form of a check
for $1,000 from the American Fedora
ton of Labor.

IN those days. But during our little
trouble with Spain saw more middle
aged men get white at the prospect Of

posed were in existence. Why? They've

form OF pareSis that kills all coura ge.
were getting too much money in
the hands OF the few of this country. I
don't believe our governmental system
causes this, or that it's any fault of the
republic. Its due to sel6shness-greed
the desire to have everything and
boss everything. We're going to be
badly hurt by this sel6shness some day
II we are not able to reach it by legfs-
laion, because it will breed violence,
riots, destruction of property. You can't
steal from ten people with one hand
and give to two people with the other
hand. and square your conscience.
That's the trouble with the Repub-
brain, and money is its curse The
young, the independent. the free think
ing, can't stand for il, and if the Dem
Ocrats ever get any sense and put forth
a good platform they'll give the Repub-
iican machine just such a jolt as il got
when Tilden ran and after Blaine was
