THEY DESIRE To Be
ANNEXED
French Islands Want to Be-
come Part of the United
States--Some Opposition

Halifax, N. S., Dec. 27.-To a ina
iority of the citizens of the United
States the very existence of the Is
lands of ST. Pierre. and Miquelon, the
last possessions of the French ir North
America, is perhaps unknown. and to
learn that in the insular eampngl
which closed today the chief issue hs>
been the question of annexation to the
United States will be all the more in,
teresting. The election, which tak's
place tomorrow, is for member Of
the chamber of deputies at Paris.
The annexation issue has beer NJ
permost in the campaign, notwith-
that the French government was not
contemplating the sale of the islands.
The islands are valuable solely as fish
.ng stations and this accounts in a
measure for the annexation sentiment
that has lately developed there. Most
Of the supplies are imported from the
United States and the citizens bel eve
that if the islands were sold to that
country these necessities would be i'm
ported free of duty. They also argue
that it would be a great advantage TO
De able to land fish in the American
markets free.
The annexation sentiment, however,
is by no means unanimous, and the
campaign has been very heated, sew
eral duels having been fought on ac-
count of it.

Result of a Pol! of the Demo-
Gratis in United States SEN
ate and House

New York, Dec. 27.-The New York
Times has been making a ppll of the
Democratic senators and mamoers of
congress ON their choice of pres.deatidl
candidates. So far the re oliss receiv-
cd show Golman to be far iu the Lean.
o. those VINO speak definitely twcive
senator's and thirty repre- senIaiiYes
have expressed themselves in favor of
senator German. They regard him
ne logical candidate as well as tht
ablest leader of their party. Many Of
them think that he would surely de-
feat Roosevelt, assuming that the lat
ted will be nominated by the Repubi
can party. Their concensus of opinion
is that he is the only possible succl ss-
full rival Of Mr.. Hanna, in case the lat
ter shall wrest the domination of the
Republican party from Theodore
Roosevelt. Next in o. der of prefer
cLce comes Judge Alton B. Pa ker oi
New York. He is favored not only
because of personal merit, but because
Of his popularity in New Yo.k which
his supporters think he could easily
carry against any Republican candl-
dAla whom the Republican panty could
put in the fed. The third rh1ic is
Senator Cockrill of Missouri.

There is a Hearst bureau in New

of Mr.. Hearst who have established
this movement, are confident that when
the people of the country are maJo
fully aware of his views and lis sel

popularity which he derives from tnt

of the strong labor men a.e for hin,
and some of the financial interests w.t..
which he and his family are assocsa'rd

Meanwhile, fiom the poll taken IL lie

To TAKE OVER TEL
EPH0NE SYSTEM
w. L. Butler Will Assume FulI
Control Thursday--Changes
and improvements

Prof. w. L. Butler returned last
night from San Francisco, where he
went to close up the deal which has
been pending for some time with the
Sunset Telephone Company. by the
terms Of which Mr.. Butler Is to secure
control of the entire holdings Of the
Sunset company in Winnemucca. The
deal went throught without a hitch,
and the transfer was duly made on
terms that were perfectly satisfactory
to Mr.. Butler. He will take posses
sion of the property on the 31st, pre-
vious to which time the central Office
will have been changed from the
ls-Fargo express office to a con-
venient and suitable place and every
thing put in first-class shape by an
electrician who arrived on No. this
afternoon from San Francisco. Mr..
Butler will then start in on January
lst, and while he will have full con-
troll of the system, 1t will be put in
charge of competent and reliable par
ties, who will make II their constant
endeavor to serve the patrons as we'll
eity phone systems are served.
Beginning with January 1st there
will be a day and night service; the
operator will be on hand to promptly
answer all calls during the night and
also on Sunday. New instruments will
be installed, and business houses can
be supplied with the modern and con-
agIr
Any trouble on the line will be over

wires will be laid unde. ground along
The streets, thus doing away with the

With the proper working of the instru-
nents. and also adds greatly TO the

The central office will be taken

his will be done in a manner that
will greatly lessen the confusion and
liability of mistake. The central Of
ice when called up, will answer by

necessary to give the number of the
phone of the party with whom con-
vel sation is desired. In the central
station will be placed a booth or lit
tie room into which patrons may go
and converse in private over the long
distance lines and be free from all
confusion and noise. Regular sub
scribers need not go to the cent. al
office, however. for when they desire
20 use the long distance phones. they
may do so by calling up central and
skiing to be connected in the same
manner as when wishing to talk with
parties in the city.
Mr.. Butler has already secured con-

Our Sentiments, Too

The following appeared in a Mis-

ular song:
How dear to my heart is a steady
subscriber.
Who pays in advance at the birth
of the year;
Who lays down his money and does
1T quite gladly,
And casts round the office a halo
of cheer.
How welcome he is when he steps in
the sanctum,
How he makes our hearts throb,
how he makes our hearts dance,
We outwardly thank him, we inward
ly bless him,
The steady subscriber who pays in
advance.
