THE UNITED STATES "IS."
Excellsnt Authority for the Use of
the Singular Noun Given by
EG-Secretary OF state.

Somebody recently criticised Gen.
John w. Foster, the ex-secretary of
state, because, all through his Cen
turyof American Diplomacy" he treats
Omitted States as singular noun, in
stead of as a plural one. This has
moved the general to investigate that
often moo;cd question with some care,
sad his conclusion is thar, despite the
wording of the constitution, there is
full Justification for saying the
United States is" and not the United
States are He admits that in the
early days of the republic, while the
fact of 1t being an aggregation of SOW
ereign states was still prominently in
mems minds, the plural usage was the
common one, but it was not universal.
even in the beginning, and al one point
in the constitution there is the phrase,
controversies to which the United
States shall be a party not shall be
parties as strict consistency would
require, says the New York Times.
Coming to presidents, Gen. Foster

tainly long and varied category In
the earlier presidential messages the
plural form prevails, but Andrew Jack
son used the other, and his example, in
this matter at least, has been followed
by his successors, and since Lincoln
all of them have invariably used the
singular verb with Omitted States"
And the general wants to know why.
lii we must write 1.-The United States
are" simply because the constitution
has it that way, we are nOtRlso obliged
TO write "chuse," instead of choose"
and to retain other photographed pc
culiarities which appear in the pre-
cious old document. This is hardly a
fair question, since the use of SIS" or
are" after United States" involves
something very different from mere
spelling. Gen. Fosters usage, how
ever, is undoubtedly that of 900 out
of 1000 American citizens of the
present day. and what more or higher
Warrant for ii does he need than that,
particularly as the facts and the fash
ion are in completed accord?

THE DOUGHNUT COIN.
No Such Piece of Money Has Been
Ordered to Be Issued.
widely Circulated story of n Three
Cent Coin with Hole in 1t Ii
Entirely without Found-
alton.

a curious story has been appear
ing in many newspapers that
strange new three-cent coin with a
hole in the middle is about to be is
sued by the government.
This has been called the "doughnut
coin" The Washington correspondent
of the New York World recently
asked Director of the Mint Roberts
about it.
Mr.. Roberts says there is absolute
w no truth in the report; that no
new coin can be made at the mint UNI
less ordered by special act of con
gress, and no such act has been
passed.
But so widely has the story about
the "doughnut coin" been printed
that doubtless many people are
daily expecting to get them in change
and give them to their babies to
string like beads.
According to the interesting but
misleading stories that have been
printed, the coin would be composed
of nickel.
The theory of this idea was that
the hurried handler will be enabled
to at once detect the value of the coin
by his sense of feeling. Some such
safeguard was said to be necessary
for the reason that it is very nearly
the size and weight of the present
tive-cent nickel. The size of the hole
in the proposed new coin was to be
of ample magnitude to make it sim
ply a ring of metal and to occupy
about one-half of the entire diameter.
The new coin, it was said. was to
do away with one of the great diff
culties which beset the handlers of
small silver coins when metal money
first came into use after the circula-
ton of paper collateral. The coins
which reached the hands of children
and some classes in the more remote
regions treated them as curiosties
and as prizes. TO insure their safe
keeping it was a favorite method to
punch a hole in them, and, passing
string through the aperture, tie the
whole securely about the neck
This practice. of course. destroyed
the circulation value of the coins. and
dealers who subsequently took them
in were obliged to stand the loss. SO
general became the practice that
fixed scale was finally arranged for
deduction for punched dimes, nickels
and other pieces. The new piece
could be strung without iniuring it.
In the west and southwest the one
cent piece was slower in coming into
favor than in the east, and the coin
age of the new piece was supp sed
to be to meet demand for which
the tive-cent piece is too large and
the one-cent piece too small.
The tive-cent nickel piece has been
in use for over 30 years. having been
first coined during the latter part of
the civil war or just after that. Be
fore that time for many years the
only small change in circulation was
made of paper scent, 10-cent, 15-cent
and 25-cent notes, being issued by the
government. The subsidiary notes
also included 50-cent piece, and all
of these were popularity known as
shin plasters." The necessity for
them arose from the disappearance
of metal money during the war
period.

WANTS TO LEASE THE
BIG HOLE water SUPPLY
RECEIVER CARROLL FILES PETITION TO THAT EFFECT IN THE
UNITED STATES COURT TODAY.

e,voir about 100000 gallons Of water
daily. is owned by James O'Grady as
trustee for other persons. FromocArtan
other sources owned by Mr. O'Grady the
supply of water to the reservoir men,
toned can be increased to about 1000 900
gallons dail:'.
Mr.. O'Grady has offered to lease TO
your receiver the whole OF the Big Hole
river plant and equipment referred to
for the sum of $4,000 per year, and at
that rate for periods of less than, a year.
The said lease to continue tor so long
a time as the property of the defendant
company may continue in the hands of
a receiver, but to be terminable by
either party thereto on 60 days notice
to the other party.
Your receiver is very familiar with
all possible sources Of supply of water
for the use of the defendant company,
and has to report that no other water at
all considera BILE in quantity is available.
Your receiver has furthermore fani.-
iariZed himself with the cost of the Big
Hole equipment and plant. and esti-
mates the same at $500 900. A reasonable
charge for the deterioration of the plant
is per cent per annum. and the $4,000
per year rental demanded by Mr..
O'Grady is 10 per cent of the cost OF the
plant, leaving therefor per cent net
as the estimated income to the owners
of the plant.
Your receiver considers the offer OF
Mr.. O'Grady a reasonable one. and rec
ommends that he be empowered to ac-
cept 4 lease of the entire plant on the
terms mentioned
The loss in revenue to the defendant
company if the water supply from the
Big Hole river be not continued will
approximate $1,000 per month. The
shortage of water will continue until
April next and will recommence in June
or July. There is an annual increase
in the demand for water by the con-
sumers who are supplied by the defend
ant company of about Is per cent.
And your receiver further says that
during the past six months he has been
compelled to secure from the owners of
the Big Hole plant such quantities of
water as they could deliver. on his prom-
Use to be paid therefor such an amount
as might. by your honor. be considered
reasonable and by your honor allowed.
The quantity SO received prior to Feb
ruary I, 1901. aggregated 17.124.000 gall
Ions, and your receiver considers that
reasonable price therefor would be II
cents per 1000 gallons. He recommends.
therefore, that he be allowed to pay the
said James O'Grady. trustee, the sum

Il like Butte and / like it's people,"
said Walters. II like it's people generally

Mr.. Walters and the hotel reporter
were at the clerks desk during this part
of the conversation. Walters reached
into his pocket and pulled out a lot Of
loose nickels and pennies.
Now l want to make this clerk a
little bit mad" said the traveller. Just
for fun I will offer these pennies for a
postage stamp. Here, Frank sell me a
stamp please, throwing the coppers on
the desk as he spoke.
The clerk looked at the coppers and
then at Walters, and took in the humor
of the act with unruffled temper. Reach
ing in the desk, he tossed a stamp to the
picture talker, remarking:
There's your stamp. l don't want your
pennies"

Persons can jog along through life with

picture frames, but people in Butte want
to make the most Of life. A great many
in the east think the people of the west

They forget that the brainiest people
of the east are among those who build

In the caseof the Massachusetts Loan
& Trust Co. vs. the Butte City Water
Co., Attorney f. w. Bacorn representing
Receiver Carroll this morning filed pc
tition in the United States court asking
permission to enter into a contract with
James O'Grady to lease the water sup
ply from-the Big Hole river for the sum
of $4,000 per wear.
Judge Knowles granted the petition
and instructed Attorney Bacorn to draw
up contract for one year. The petition
OF the receiver contains much of inter-
est and in part is as follows:
THAT the normal consumption of wa
ter by the patrons of the defendant COM
pany at this season of the year is APP
proXimately 5000, 900 gallons of water per
day. but that by reason of the unusual
drouth which has prevailed during the
past two seasons the supply available so
far as the companys water rights and
plant are concerned, has now been re-
duced to, 1000, 900 gallons.
The consumption for the past six
months has been greater than the sup
ply and the reservoirs are now practice
ally empty.
In spite of all efforts of your receiver.
which efforts have included the erection
Ol pumps NIleIeN eT Sitldil supplies u Wa
ter could he found and notwthstandin
and additional supply obtained from the
Big Hole river hereinafter referred to,
your receiver has been obliged for the
last ten days to refuse to furnish water
to the mining companies in the Butte
district. even for their boilers. and many
of the most important mines have been
closed down. He has been compelled
10 refuse to furnish water for concentra-
tors. for breweries, warehouses and liv-
cry stables and for the operation of ele-
vators in business blocks in the city of
Eutte. To private consumers water has
been furnished for only few hours per
day.
The condition of affairs is now inn
proving owing to the fact that water is
being received through a pipe line from
the Big Hole river. and your receiver is
of the opinion that as soon as the reser-
voirs are filled to the point of safety, no
further trouble will be experienced. pro-
vided that the supply of water from the
Big Hole river be continued.
This water is received from the de-
PENDANT company from a reservoir at

jury shall be instructed by the court be-
fore the argument is made unless the
and defense agree before
hand that the old rule shall prevail.
After the testimony was submitted the
two sides stipulated that the instructions
should follow the argument as of old
and the argument was carried out.
The testimony showed that on the Sth
of January Wright took a team of horses
and a rig belonging to ]. r. Reed, a
liveryman. and attempted to sell them to
Edward McNamee of the Butte Ice COM
pany for 1925. He had been employed
by Reed only two days before. McNamee
came very near buying the outfit on the
supposition that Wright was the owner,
but just before the deal was closed it
occurred to him that it might be we'll for
him to make an investigation. This
impulse he followed With the result that
he soon learned that Wright was not the
owner.
Wright is nearly 80 years old and
shows the effects of a long pull at the
shrine of King Barleycorn. All through
the trial he acted like one that did no,
care whether he went to prison or not
He did not testify in his own behalf.

priest he be, John Storm in the novel
