PHONE FRANCHISES
GRANTED
AT ELECTION LAST THURSDAY
BONDS SOLD AND TOWN HALL
TO BE BUILT AT ONCE.

The special election held in Hamil-
ton to determine the sentiment of the
citizens in regard to granting two tele-
phone franchises, was a great success
for the telephone people. The Rocky
Mountain Bell Telephone Co. have
been endeavoring to get franchise to
erect an exchange and establish lines
in and around Hamilton for some
time, and now that the franchise has
been granted, the work on the new
line will be started at once. The ex-
change will be built in the rear of the
Hamilton Book store and will be in
charge of Miss Elsie Steib, who will
be operator. The line that has been
in course of construction between
Hamilton and Darby will soon be com
pleted, much to the satisfaction of the
residents of the upper valley. The
Bitter Root Telephone Co. was organ
lied about three years ago, but since
that time only one or two private
wires on ranches across the river have
OSCh put III. ne COIN pduy, however,
expects to establish a number of
phones on the west side.
The city council met Monday night
to receive the bids for the city bonds
amounting to ten thousand dollars,
which have been offered for sale dur
ing the past six weeks. There were
five bidders for the bonds, namely N.
U. Halsey & Co.. Chicago, Browne
Ellingwood e. Co., Chicago, First Ma
tional Bank, Helena, S. A. Kean,
Chicago and Kane & Co. of Minneap-
ellis.
The bonds were sold to Kane & Co.,
who are to furnish the blank bonds
and give premium of $157.
Work will begin on the new hall on
or about the 1st day of August. The
plans, which are being drawn by
Boardman and Erickson, will be those

Louisville Man Shouldn't Be Very
Long Out Of a Job.
The thriftiest man in the United
States lives in Louisville. He has
trades that fit any climate, season or

his wonderful versatility, friend tells
the following story of an average day
in the life of this strenuous man.
One morning last week he started
out with a rug to sell on commission
for an installment house. He sold the
rug, and then came back and took out
a clock, which he also disposed Of
About noon he was called by an under
taker to embalm body, which he did
Another undertaken sent for him to
drive a hearse 10 the cemetery. and
after he had disposed of this errand
satisfactorily he preached a short ser
mon at the grave.
He drove the hearse back to town
and filled in an afternoon for a candy
maker who was taken saA[enly i'll.
In the evening he WORKED from 6 til
8 o'clock in a barber shop, and from
that hour until midnight set type on a
daily newspaper.

The governor has signed an act au-
thorizing townships. cities and villages
to appropriate money for the celebra-
ton of Memorial day, and some mu-
inequalities will act under it this year.
The veterans are becoming too few and
too feeble to conduct those celebrations
much longer, and the communities
must soon assume the duty which they
have so long discharged; and we may
hope that more general interest may
be aroused in all classes of the people,
which shall save the day from the ten
dency to degrade its sacred character
with registering sports. and make it
more completely what it may well be-
come, holy Memorial day of all the
people for all of their 'cherished dead.

ODD THINGS ABOUT GOLD.
Great Variation in Color Of the Pre-
cious Metal.

Great VARIATION IN Coiof OF tUe nv
cious Metal.
Few people know the real color OF
gold, because II Is seldom seen except
when heavily alleged. which makes
II much redder than when IL Is pure.
The purest coins ever made were the
fifty-dollar pieces which once were In
common use in California.
Their coinage was abandoned for
two reasons: first, because the loss
by abrasion was so great, and second.
because their interior could be bored
out and filled with lead. The differ
ence. in weight was SO small that II
could not be noticed in such large
pieces. They were octagonal In shape
and were the most valuable coins
ever minted and circulated.
All gold is not alike wren refined.
Australian gold is distinctly redder
than that taken in California. More
over, placer gold is more yellow than
that which Is taken from quartz. This
is one OF the mysteries OF metallurgy,
because the gold In placers comes
from that which is in quartz. Gold
taken from different placers will vary
in color. The gold in the Ural noun
tans is the reddest in the world

Proof That Doos Can Think.

The following facts, which saw
with my own eyes on repeated occa.
sions, fully convinced me that ami.
mails have the powers OF memory and
thought. | once had three-parts
bred black and tan terrier, which
slept in basket in my bedroom, that
opened into the nursery. One of my
children was, from i'll health, very
fractions, and whenever Tiny heard
it cry she would go into the nursery,
hunt about until she found a squeak
ing rag doll, take ii to the side OF the
cot and sitting up, shake 1t to amuse
the child. II in doing this she did
not display powers OF memory,
thought and reflection, utterly fail to
see to what her clever performance
could be attributed.-Correspondence

1t nows appears that there will not
soon be a vacancy in the supreme
court. Chief Justice Fuller, though
seventy-two years of age, has let it be
understood that he likes his job and
will not be disposed to resign as long
as he is so capable of performing the
duties of the office. He is Democrat
and his almost certain successor,
should he resign, will be a Republi-
can and the present Secretary of War,
Judge Taft. Chief Justice Fuller and
Justice Harlan, both about the same
age, are eligible to retirement if they
choose to retire, on full pay, but like
nearly all the members of the great
court, they enjoy the work to which
they have devoted the best years of
their lives and it is known authorita-
lively that neither has any present in
tention of retiring.
