county commissioners has sent out noti-
fcation to al who are delinquet in paying
licenses in the county that if the licenses
are not paid up in full before September

cal tn aettention OF the members to the
fact that there we're thousands of dollars
due the county and state from business
and professional men in the city.
In reply the board laid the blame on

linquents.
Chairman Clark is anxious to see that
the licenses are promptly paid and is de-
termined to deal summarily with delin-

cessantly from the time the presidents

THE BUSINESS MEMS ASSOCIATION
is ABLE TO REPORT A PLEAS
ANT PROGRAM.
A SPECIAL TRAIN is
FURNISHED BY B., A. & P,
Governor Richards Explains the Program
and Expresses His Appreciation Of
the Thoughtfulness Of the Railroad
and Washoe Officias-Tran to Leave
Butte at 80 p. m. Thursday.

"One of the most pleasing features in
the way of entertainment for the dele
gates to the International Mining con-
gress will be the excursion to the smelters
at Anaconda" said Governor Richards this
morning. With much appreciation, Mr..
Richards explained that the Butte, Ana
conda 4 Pacific railroad officials had
voluntarily offered the use of special
trains to transport all delegates to the
congress who. wished to go to visit the
largest and best equipped smelling plant
on earth.
"A serious problem has confronted the
entertainment committee" said Montanas
former chief executive, "and for a time it
looked as if the business men of Butte
would be compelled to raise considerable
more money in order to do the honors.
Knowing what it means for lot of WIS.,
itors to go through a smelter and fully
realizing that it could not be done except
at great expense to the company, we hesi-
tated to ask such a favor. In fact, we con-
cludcd not to do SO, and to say that we
were both surprised and pleased at the
voluntary offer of the railroad company
is but poor way of expressing the graft
tude OF the Business Mems association.
The excursion will leave this city at
80 p. III. next Thursday, and will go
direct to the Washoe smelters. After ar
irving there the party will be divided into
groups, and with each group there will be
one or more employe of the smelter thor
oughly conversant with the working, who
will escort the visitors through and ex-
plain everything of interest to the visitors.
Street cars will be provided, and those
who wish may pass through the Smeltcr
City.
Returning the special trains will leave
Anaconda about s:45 p. IN.

Two Men Who Lived Beyond the Hum
dred Mark Whose Habits Were
Vastly Different

The other day man died on Long
island at the age of 102. The great
length of his days is attributed to the
fact that he had lived an exceedingly
even existence, partakng of only the
plainest and most nourisbi1g food;
that he had never in his life touched
tobacco or tasted liquor, malt or spirit
uous; that he had never subjected him
self to the worries coincident to the
connubial state, and that every day Of
his life, rain or shine, he had taken
a constitutional of several miles.
There died in Newark, N. j., shortly
after, an Irishman who had attained
the age of 1O4. 1t is stated that he at.
tributed his long life to the fact that
he had eaten any old thing he wanted
to eat, and plenty of it, whether it
agreed with him or not; that he had
been an incessant smoker and chewer
of tobacco since his twelfth year; that
he had drank all the whisky, good and
bad, that he'd been able to get hold
of since his eighteenth year; that he
never, under any circumstances what.

wriggle out of it, and that wives

USEFULNESS OF SNOW.
stores Up Moisture for the Summer
in Isolated Ravines In Dry
Regions.

If all the condensed moisture OF the
atmosphere were to fall as ram, and
none of it as snow, hundreds of thou
sands of miles of the earth's surface
now yielding bountiful crops would
be little better than desert, says the
Youths Companion. The tremendous
economic gain for the world at large
which results from the difference be-
tween snow and rain is seldom real
ICED by the inhabitants of fertile and
well-watered lowlands.
1t is in the extensive regions where
irrigation is a prime necessity IN agrl
culture that the special uses OF the
snow come chiefly into view. All
through the winter the snow is falling
upon the high mountains, and packing
itself firmly into the ravlnes. Thus in
natures great icehouse a supply OF
moisture is stored up for the follow
ing summer.
All through the warm months the
hardened snow banks are melting
gradually. In trickling streams they
steadily feed the rivers, which as they
flow through the valleys are utilized
for irrigation. If this moisture fell
as rain it would almost Immediately
wash down through the rivers, which
would hardly be fed at all in the sum-
mer, when the crops most need water
These. facts are so well known as
to be commonplace in the Salt Lake
valley and in the sub-arid regions OF
the west generally. They are not so
well understood in New Jersey or Ohio,
where snow is sometimes pictur-
esaue, sometimes a disagreeable, fea-
ture of winter.
In all parts of the country the no.
ton prevails that the snow is of great
value as fertilizer. Scientists, how
ever, are inclined to attach less mn
portance to it's service in soilnutrition
for some regions which have no snow
are exceedingly fertile-than to its
worth as blanket during the months
of high winds. ii prevents the blowing
off of the finely pulyerized richness of
the top soil. This, although little per-
ceived, would often be very great
loss.
In natures every form there is
meaning.
