Butte. Mont, Feb. 16.-At a meet
ing of the Butte Typographical Un.
ion yesterday the demands of the
Butte Publishers Association were
rejected in toto, the printers in their
reply to the newspaper companies
stating that they firmly but respect
fully declined to accede in any man
ner whatever to the terms offered
by the publishers. The Publishers
Association at meeting last night
formally received the reply of the
printers, STANG that their stand had
been taken, and that unless the local

Telephone Strike Settled.
Butte, Mont, Feb. 16-The strike

Labor War in the Courts.
Wallace, Ida, Feb. 16.-Today Steve
Adams faced a compile jury which
will decide whether he is guilty or
innocent of the murder of Fred Ty
Ter. The state has several witnesses
to present the evidence, while the de-
fense is known to have at least %.
The prosecution will present mainly
circumstantial evidence, backed by
alleged confession.
While the defense refuses to out
line anything further than a general
denial, it is expected to resist this
confession with all it's power, on the
ground that Sheriff Sutherland used
improper means to obtain it, and that
if Adams made any confession to de-
tectives it was under duress and was
untrue.
If the verdict goes against Adams
MS attorneys will appeal or demand
a new trial. One of the notable ex-
ceptions already taken is to Judge
ruling that member of the
Western Federation of Miners could
be excluded from the jury on chal-
enge for cause. The defense contend
ed that it would be as reasonable to
exclude man because he was an Elk.

He spoke briefly, telling them that the
American Flag was always in evi

young people to always be loyal to the
American flag and for the boys to be
ever ready to follow it to battle, and
to never let it trail in the dust
Elder c. c. Hill spoke in a patriot
ic vein, first giving a historical ac-
count of how the first American flag,
the Stars and Stripes, was made of
soldiers clothing and al old blue pet

mer and his men in their fight against
st. Leger and his French and Indians
in the Mohawk Valley War, and of
how it was adopted as the flag of the
United States after the first beautiful
specimen had been made by Mrs.
Ross of Philadelphia Elder Hill said
that the American flag was not made
to trail in the dust, that it was always
victorious, for it was always on the
side of humanity and right, and that

fact. He said that while it was the

Toxic, Feb. 16.-The projected

ON Japanese labor immigration to the

with great displeasure, but the we'll

An appeal cOuched in strong words

in San Francisco asking for national
support against the solving of the
San Francisco controversy by restric-

Hale and TiIIman Scrap.
Washington, Feb. 16.-During the
discussion of the conference report
on the immigration bill in the senate
today, Hale and Tillman engaged in
a somewhat heated colloquy. Tillman
charged the Maine senator with
changing his attitude, and il doing
so referred to a conversation he had
with Hale. Mr.. Hale resented the
quotation of the conversation, and
spoke of Tillman's course as ''offens-
i've" Tillman replied that he had no
intention of being discourteous, and
said he did not propose to be bot
tied up or "snuffed out" when he
knew what Hale's real attitude was.

ALAMEDA GREENHOUSE
A PLACE OF BEAUTY,

The Alameda Green House, at the
corner of Alameda street and South
Lea avenue, is at present one of the
most attractive places to visit in Ros-
well. In the first place a green house
is naturally a place of interest in this
part of the country where nothing
grows without attention and where,
when attention is given, vegetation
grows as it does in no other place in
the United States. Again, the Alame-
da Green House is especially attrac-
tive. for it has just undergone a great
up-building under the management of
F. o. Santheson. who is now in charge

The management has added sever
al rooms to the green house and has

all in greater number than were ever
handled before. He has them all in
fine condition and it is worth while
going out to see them.

A home enterprise, the thirty ton ice
plant of the Roswell Gas and Ice Co.
is nearing completion, and the peo-
pie of Roswell are assured plenty of
good ice at a cheap price next sum-
mer. An avoidance of the high prices
and shortage of last summers ice con
ditions will be about as big a boon
as could come to the town in the line
of commodities and necessities.
The company expects to start up
its ice plant with full capacity early
in April, and the people of Roswell
and the Pecos Valley will not only
have the purest and finest ice it is
possible to make. but the cheapest
ever known in this locality.
The company is purely a local con
cern and the general benefit to the
town was the original idea, rather
than a money-making corporation.

holders are: A. Pruit, l.. K. McGaffey,

F. Hinkle, A. NJ. Robertson, Geo. L.
Wyllys, R. E. Baughman, Charles
Joyce, John MatheSon, w. NJ. Reed,
w. H. Long. w. T. Wells and others.
w. D. Sweet, formerly of yelling
ton, Kan, is in charge of the plant.
He is a practical engineer and has
had large experience in his line, es-
pecially at ice-making He was very
successful with an ice plant at Well |
lingto1 for nearly four years.
The company expects to extend its
gas mains to all parts of the city as
fast as there is a demand for the gas
and will eventually supply the whole |
town with gas for cooking, heating |
and lighting purposes. 1t now has
about one hundred consumers of gas, |
and general satisfaction is their re-
port
The gas and ice plants are in ad- |
Joining buildings and both are under |
one management and one set of en-
ployees. Thus running expenses are
greatly reduced for both departments |
The plant as a whole is considered |
by the investors as a money-maki1g |
and, considering it's very |
strong financial backing, it ought to
become a successful enterprise.
The gas is manufactured from |
crude OIL and the by-product, or lamp |
black, that is left after the gas is |
taken out of the oil, is used as fuel |
in the furnace under the boilers Thus
another big saving is accomplished. |
The ice building and cold storage is !
made of brick in the form of a refrig-
orator. and the building and plant |
as a whole is the finest in the South
