THE BUTTE MUNICIPAL LEAGUE
STARTED OUT IN BUSINESS
LIKE MANNER.
HOT ON The TRAIL
OF THE ELECTRIC CO.
Contract Price for the Lighting Of the
City Said to be Exoroitant-Will
Meet Every Week.

The Butte Municipal league has doffed
it's swaddling clothes AMI Sot down to
good hard work. 1t is only an infant
in point of age, this municipal l. aguc,
but is has started out to accomplish me
work of a giant in a most busnessi:kc
manner.
The league is a new orga nization and
was formed with the idea OF looking 10
it that the government of the city is
conducted on econnmi, lines. II NUM-
bers among it's me,nhers soEe Of the
most prominent citiZanS Of Butte, more
than 100 being present at the meeting
which was held last evAnin, in De-
partment No. of the county building.
Until this meeting nothing had keen
done by the society beyond pe.fs 81 ing
its organiZat ion last evening. however
q step was made in the direction Of good
city government.
The league is hot on the trail of the
Butte Electric company. Wher it he
lieves is trying to secure iC-Eear con-
tract for street lighting at exorbitant
rates. to the detriment of tic tax lay
ers, and the city. A petition has
been drawn up and the president,
eX-.Judge John Lindsay, and the
secretary, Herman r sen.N Gig. author
lied by the league to sign it in their
official capacities, when will be pre-
scented to the city council. The petition
is really a protest AMI argues against
such contract.
The price paid by otcer cities for the
same service are held 10 f>r comparison,
showing that the contrast Prices Of the
Butte Electric company are exorbitant.
The proposed term of % years is decried
as tending to monopoly the league ia
VOring contract term Of one year.
Figures and statistics are also fur
nished in the petition showing that
where municipal OWNERSHIP is an acconp-
lished fact the cost of public utilities is
always less than OtherWis, IN view of
the belief of the league that the city
may see fit at some tome in the future
to have it's own lighting plant, the ar
gument is advanced that in su"h ease it
should be able to avail itself of light
furnished by some other person or cor
poration.
1t is also asked in the petition that
the terms of any contract for electric
lighting shall SO read that the city may
have the right to inspect and test all
lights furnished, and that as an exclu-
sive franchise amounts in reality to a
monopoly for the contract term, the
council fix the rates to be paid the COM
pany for lights by private persons.
1t has been decided that the league
shall hold a meeting every Friday even
ing in Department l Of the county court

BUTTE MARKETS !:

The first Strawberries of the season
made their appearance in the markets of
Butte this Week. and While they are
probably not SO fine as some of the con-
signments that will be received Later
they are nevertheless a welcome article
They are not plentiful yet. but in a few
days nearly every stand in town Will
have them on sale. The retail quotation
last evening was 80 cents per box. The
boxes, however, are constructed on the
old plan-two-t thirds top and one third
bottom, which makes 30 cents a figure
not Yet within the reach of all.
Eggs have taken decided jump up
wards IN point of price, the present quo
tation being So per case. as against 81
and $3.50 a week ago. The icrease is at
tributed to the fact that a large portion
of the supply is being stored for future
use. At this season of the year there i;
always an increase, but as rule il is
more gradual.
- Packing house products, which ii,-
cludes bacon. ham and lard, will doubt
less be higher in a week from now, a.:
there is a decided sentiment among pa tx
ers to increase the price. For several
days they have been discussing the
feasibility of an advance. and it is the
opinion of local handlers of this class
of goods that the talk will assume def
mite shape within the next seven days
During the last week there has been
a general decline in the prices of fresh
vegetables. which can be laid to the fact
that the supply is greater than formerly
A week ago pie plant was somewha
scarce. but now it is on sale in nearly
every We'll regulated grocery house in
the city; and the price is in keeping with
the quantity on hand.
There is very little change in the ,1uo-
tatlon of other articles kept on tap in
the markets. Potatoes are going at sc
cents per 100 pounds, and sweets al

A HARROW THAT DOES GOOD WORK

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
Every locality is in some respects
different from all others. So any
Southern farmer would do well to
take a Southern agricultural paper
and my advice is, take The Progress
i've Farmer, a Southern paper, be-
cause it is directly in the South and
it's writer's are men that are in the
practical interests of farming and
trucking.
We seem to think that vegetables
grow larger in the North than they
do in the South, but if we could give
the land the quantity of well-pre-
pared plant food as they do in the
North, and the care, we would do as
we'll. OF course, the land must be
properly prepared.
And it has been a subject of much
thought with me to get a machine
that would grind the clOds to fine
meal in my vegetable farm. bought
an iron harrow and had the teeth all
made into knife blades rnd bent back
so as to slide up on the clods and cut
them fine or crush them fine. 1t
seems to be quite u success. The
harrow is so constructed that 1T can
be widened out or made narrow and
bring the blade so close to each other
that they cut fine and deep. BY
putting on weight it does the work.
And takes less horse power. Land
cut much finer than the disk. We
work only one horse and good work
with disk requires three horses so
this is u great saving of power. The
weight alone under the row system
cuts the hard clay clods. Then L
have a drag harrow, sol can manage
the worst of land. We all know how
to make land fine, but we want to
know how to do it in short time and
at little cost. r. r. MOORE.

FARMING THAT PAYS.
What One Randolph Farmer Has Do

What One Randolph Farmer Has Done.
Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
We see and hear a good deal that
is calculated to discourage the ordi-
nary farmer-run-dOwn old fields,
poor crops, dilapidated buildings,
poor stock, etc. These every day
scenes are exceedingly damaging to
all agricultural progress, as young
men who are ambitious to have things
in better shape about them shudder
and shun all such lines of toll and
privatiOn consequently they are
leaving the farms of their fathers by
the hundreds to seek positions else
where, which they think promise
better things.
But there is a brighter side to
farm life even here in North Caro-
lima, where we seem to be tied down
to old slip-shOd methods and ways of
doing things. It is certainly in
spring to find an occasional excep-
tion. That farm life can be made
beautiful, pleasant and profitable
has been clearly demonstrated, for
instance, by Mr.. Thos. J. Finch, of
Randolph county. His farm con-
tains six hundred acres, a large part
of which, few years ago, was ap-
parently worthless. Now, it is a
refreshing oasis, prOclaiming to all
who chance to pass that way, that
good farming pays!
Mr.. Finch has 140 acres in wheat
this season, and made last year on
about the same acreage 3, 495 bushels
of first-class wheat. Ho usually
plants rs acres in corn; the yield
last year was 1900 bushels. Then
he has SO acres in COW peas for hay,
40 acres in clover and grass, besides
an ample acreage in permanent pas
ture
Wheat, corn, Berkshire hogs, cattle
and mules, are the specialities, and
noticed that these leading crops are
we'll chosen, as the location, soil and
general water supply are admirably
adapted to extensive and profitable
stock raising.
The barn-a notable feature about
the place-is 1877 feet long and so
feet wide and we'll arranged for every
purpose of a good barn.
Another striking feature about
this farm and buildings was the en-
tire absence of tobacco barns and
cotton gins, as there is not single
plant of tobacco or hill of cotton
grown on the place, although it is
we'll adapted to the cultivation Of
both. Grass, stock and grain grow
ing pay better; besides it is nicer
work, and keeps in motion q train Of
cumulative forces, which are all the
time adding to the productive pow
ers of the farm
BeaLLy good farming pays!
j. EDOM SMITH.
