George SHEPPARD, the ball player,
formerly OF the Baraga team, but
the past few seasons with the Duluth
club, has received two offers to go
with faster company this season,
says the Mining Journal. He is in
receipt ola letter from W. H. Wat

requests "Shep'' to state what
salary he will ask to play shortstop
for the Hoosiers. The other offer is
from Henry f. Hines, Of the Des
Moines club, in the Western league.
This also asks for terms. The
writer states that Sheppard was
recommended to him by Louis
Lippert, who was with Superior
last Season. "Shep" feels the com

Eastern Montana will not fail to profit
greatly by the letting Of the contract to
furnish stone for the government build
ing at Helena to Hon. H. l.. Frank.
Near Billings Mr.. Frank owns an mex
haustible quarry of stone which is both
handsome and durable. Over 100 men
will be employed as soon as the builders
are ready for the material. It is the
same stone as that of which the state
capitol building, located in a remote
corner of Lewis and Clarke county, Is
constructed. In all likelihood the Frank
quarry will supply material for many
other buildings in Montana on account
Of it's appearance and quality. The gov
eminent building to be erected in Butte.
however, will be brick, as the appropria-
ton is not large enough to construct a
stone building of sufficient size. Mr..
Taylor, government architect at Wash
ington, is expected to arrive in Butte
within a few days to look over the stu.
alton and discuss ways and means. The
Business Mems association should look
after the entertainment Of SO distin-
guished a guest.

EXCURSIONS ARE CUT SHORT
Short Line Is Shy on Railway Coaches
for Special Excursion Train
Service

''We have been too busy this year to
put in a single bid for special excursions
for lodges and social orders" said H. o.
Wilson, of the Oregon Short Line. I'VE
haven't a car to spare for special work
of that kind. There isn't a coach to be
had in Salt Lake for love or money, and
there isn't one between here and there.
The passenger travel on the lower end
of the line is 50 heavy that we simply
have had to go out Of the business for
all save our Sunday excursions.
1.-THE Big Hole country offers the fin
est fishing. there seeming to be no end to
the quantity of fish in the streams and
everybody who goes there can count on
a god catch. But we can't haul the peo-
pie, that's all. We might have almost
daily excursions Of some kind. If we were
prepared to take the people where they
want to go.
Just now, the cars are all being used
for the street fair and carnival at Salt
Lake, comemor ating the 54th anniversary
Of the coming of the pioneer Saints to
Utah. Every old greybeard of Utah, and
thousands from other states, will flock
in to the city, and make one of the great

years. We expect to haul not less than
800 people from Montana. at a rate of SIS

BRIGHT IDEAS OF
MONTANA EDITORS
City Expenses.

The expenditures of the city of Great
Falls during the fiscal year ending April
80, were greater by 36.870.39 than were
the expenditures for the year ending
April 30. 1900. OF this amount $12,370.52
was expended in the construction of q
sewer and should not properly be in
cluded in the excess of expenditures. But
deducting that it still leaves an increase
OF $24.499S7.
The increase of expenditures in 1900
over 1899 was $6,500.U5; in 1899 over 1898
the increase was $6.162.74. It will thus
be seen that the increase during the last
fiscal year has been about four times
as much as the increase during the two
previous fiscal years.
The contention is made that the
growth of the city demands these in
creases in expenditures. The increase is
about one third. Does anyone contend
that the city has increased one third
during the last year? The increase in
population has been very satisfactory
but it has been nothing like that.
A point is made as to smallpox ex-
penses. But there were smallpox ex-
penses the year before the one in ques.
ton, and they did not swell to such ar
enormous size the expenditures. How.

Colonel Becker of the Billings Gazette
does not like the appointment of Mr..
Webster as collector of customs in
northern Montana, and refuses to be

results of the last election, in which
Mr.. Webster acted as chairman of the
republican state committee, were not
