HAMILTON MONTANA. WEDNESDAY, MARCH & 1904

tee not only refused to supervise the
work but ordered the town marsha
not to proceed with it. Reinforced by
two others, Aldermen Trosda ant
Peterson, majority of the council
they next waited upon and notified
the parties who were to furnish the
trees and do the work that if they de.
livered the goods they would get nc
pay for them, as they, the majority of
the council would refuse to allow the
bills when presented.
The whole trouble has grown out of
the local option movement. The rev.
enues of the town having been curtail-
ed to the tune of $3.50 per month some
of the aldermen object to any improve
ments on the grounds of economy,
while others, who resent what tney
term the "attempt to vote them out of
business" couple the economy objec
ton with the statement that they dom,
propose to assist in any undertaking
that might prove beneficial to the pro-
hibitionists.
The mayor has locked horns with
the obstructionists on the proposition.
His argument is that while the reven-
ues may be temporarily depleted, con-
ditions will speedily adjust themselves
and that the citizens of the town
should preserve stiff upper lip and
keep pushing the town to the front, on
the theory that no good business
man lies down whenever he is con-
fronted by a reverse.
Local option, whether it prove
for the veal or woe of the greatest
numbe of our people, may be but
passing phantasn, as it has in so
many instances elsewhere, while any
real improvements, such as the adorn-
ment of our streets by long, uniform
lines of shade trees, will last for all
time. Everybody admits that this
work should have been done ten years
ago. Let's don't pass it up now. Some
other cataclysm of nature is likely to
happen the next time the town gets
good and ready. "Now" IS the ac-
cepted time, always.
AS for begrudging some passing
preacher or grand, high potentate of
the ArnaIgamated company the pleas
ure OF absorbing little cool, refresh
ing shade as he plods along the leaf
embo wered avenues, why that's too
we'll, too much like masticating tones

New Naval Commander Will
Have Formidable Force
at His Command.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 2i.-
As the result of an opinion expressed
by Admiral Skrydloff, the new naval
commander in the Far East, it has
been definitely decided to send the
Russian squadron in the Baltic Sea
to the Far East.
There has been much hesitation
regarding the dispatching of this
squadron to the seat of hostilities
It was decided to send the fleet, but
afterward the adviSability of such a
move was questioned by the authon-
ties.
Admiral Skrydloff, according to a
reported interview, plans to combine
all the Russian fleets, and, if possible,
clear both the Pacific and Yellow
Seas of japanese vessels by a conf
bined effort.
