LOOK FOR BETTER TIMES.

The real estate dealers of Anaconda
believe the passage of the eight hour
law by the legislature will make bust
ness good in their line and they are
more thoroughly convinced now than
ever that the year 1901 will close with
record of prosperity unprecedented in
this city. Real estate particularly has
been inactive for long time although
there has been a noticeable picking up
lately. inquiries are frequent for de-
slrable property and every now and
then the announcement is made that
some certain piece of real estate has
changed hands.
But the eight hour law will Eecessa-
rily increase the working force at the
smelters: this influx of laborers must
be provided With homes many of them
will be married men with families and
as matter of course there VIII be a
great demand for houses. At present
empty houses are almost an unknown
quantity in Anaconda and even living
rooms in large blocks are occupied and
hard to get.
The building of the new shelters
southeast of town brought a whole lot
OF people to Anaconda last year. prior
to that houses could be found to rent
almost anywhere but since then it is
difficult. With this condition of affairs
existing. naturally. a great deal of ac-
tivity in real estate is expected in the
spring
Judge NJ. J. Fitz Patrick. one of Ana.
condaS leading real estate dealers said
today that he expects to see the CITY
move steadily forward this year and an
tclpates quite a healthy building BOOM
There is no use talking" he said,
there Will have to be more houses if
the number of laborin2 people at the
works is to be increased and that will
certainly brin" on more activity in real
estate. This is bound to be a good wear
for Anaconda.

that the stores might remain open Mon
day nights we'll as Saturday nights
the eve of holidays and pay days and
to continue in force until the eight hour
law is fully effected. 1t was argued that
the men employed now and working 10
and II hours are unable to get to the
stores before O'Clock and will be COM
PEELED to wait and do all their purchas-
ing on Saturday nights. The petition
was signed by John Odson. j. II. Strain
Goodfriend Clothing company. Peoples
Store, j. b. Gnose George Barich. NJ. NJ
Mogus. Jacob Bring, Samuel Pramenko
and William tOpinus.
The clerks are opposed to granting the
request and argue that with Saturday
nights. the eve of holidays and pay days
there will be a great many days each
month that the stores will be open out
side of Saturdays and so long as ais
the stores are closed on other nights the
men will manage to find more time
than they need to make their purchase
The matter will come up in the meeting
tonight, but it is quite certain that no
concessions will be granted.

THEIR SALARIES
DEER LODGE COUNTY LOSES ITS
OLD RATING.
EARLY CLOSING FAVORABLE.
Almost All o. the Merchants Are Will
ing to Join the Popular
Movement.

An interesting point is to be raised In
Che courts involving the salaries of some
of the present county officials.
1t will be remembered that last fall
during the political campaign. Deer
Lodge was supposed to be county OF
the fourth class, to all intents and pur-
poses it was; but somehow Assessor
George Miller made a mistake: fatal
one at that, and one day it was discov-
cred that through an erroneous $6O,O0O
entry on the assessment rolls. the prop
erty valuation of the county fell short
Of the $4,000, 900 mark. the legal amount
necessary to make the classification of
the county what is was supposed to be.
But when the conventions were held
last year the successful candidates en-
tered the contest for the nominations
and afterwards for election, thinking
they were to receive the salaries pre-
scribed by law for counties of the fourth
class. The salary of the clerk of the
court and the county clerk and recorder,
for instance. is $500 per year in fourth
class counties. while in tifthclass coun-
ties it is $500 per year less i'm each case.
with corresponding reductions in the
pay Of other officials
The assessors error was not discov-
red until the election was over. and one
day the county commissioners met and
reduced the classification. declaring at
Tie same time that the officials who
duly installed on January eth could not
receive pay amounting to more than that
allowed in fifth-class counties.
The reduction made difference of
s. coo to Clerk of the Court Thomas. as
he is elected OF serve for four years, and
Gle k and recorder whose term expires
IN January. 1903.
Since the commissioners took this ac-
ton the officials have been trying to find
some plan by which they can draw the
pay they expected they would the day
after the election.
Cases of this kind are very rare. but
one similar to it was found in California.
where the county officials won in a suit
t. compel the county commissioners to
allow the salary claim for stipulated
amount, and issue warrant for it.
The matter raises an interesting point
in law in Montana. and a test case may
soon be instituted in this county by one
official which will settle the matter so
far$as all others are concerned.
Last Friday was pay day at the county
court house. Each official received his
warrant, but when it came to cashing it
the parties interested refused to sign the
form on the back without first striking
out the word full in one line and in
sorting the word part" making it read
'for part payment for salary for the
month of January. 1901" BY having done
so. the question is left open and in the
meantime law libraries are being
searched for authorities" In such mat
tiers.

A PIONEER GONE.

D. +. Beck, one of Anaconda's pioneers
and best known citizens. died last even-
ing at his home. 4OS East Commercial av-
enue after an illness of more than a year
of old age. The deceased was eccentric
in many ways but charitably disposed
in many ways. and persons deserving of
help often received help from him. He
always carefully concealed his identity
in charitable acts and frequently did his
work through others. whom he sent to
inquire into the condition of and to as
sist the poor who needed help.
Mr.. Beck lived a retired life during his
stay in Anaconda. He was born in Penn
syivania in 1921. moving to Illinois in 1843
where he took up homestead near the

city of Sterling which he still owned at
the time of his death He came west in
1868, and was for a year a the placer
diggings at Alder Gulch. He went to
Butte in 1864. where he remained for two
years, when he returned to Illinois for
three years. In 1859 he moved to Colo
RADIO, where he engaged in the sawmfl
business until 1888 when he came to the
newly laid out city of Anaconda and has
lived here ever since, engaging in the
real estate and loan business.
The deceased was a close student of ma
ture. and possessed a magnificent library,
especially of scientific works, some OF
which cost him So or more each. His
daughter, the only survivor, was with
him at the time of his death. The re-
mains will be taken back to the old hOHle-
stead in Illinois for interment.

Dillon, Mont, Feb. 5. 1901
Quite an interesting trial was heard in
Justice Hirschman's court Saturday
afternoon. 1t was entitled Mrs. G. W.
limerick VS.. Thomas Flynn, and involved
the ownership of a horse. From the
testimony adduced it was shown that
a couple of years ago Tom Flynn and
G.. w. limerick made an exchange of
horses. That is the only point agreed
upon. The Emerick's claimed that the
trade had been made, but that now
Flynn was rueing his bargain. Flynn
claimed that there was no trade, that he
only exchanged horses with limerick as
as matter of accommodation; that his
horse was at the least worth $75, while
the old buzzardhea that the limerick
family wanted to slough off on him was
not worth to exceed six bits the best
day it ever saw. Flynn had not evoked
the aid of the law in recovering his
horse, but had entered the limerick
stable and led the animal home, return-
ing the halter to Mrs limerick with his
compliments. The decision was in favor
of Mrs. limerick; and Flynn has filed
notice of his intention to appeal the mat
