. EXTEND MANY MAINS
Large Expansion Of City Water
a Service Planned For Paved Streets
and Those Unimproved. &

One of the large extensions Of water
service to portions Of the city not al
ready enjoying the convenience made
by the city water department is
planned to accompany the paving and
sewer projects ordered and proposed.
The authority given Councilman M. S.
Mcfarland to advertise for bids for
Water r!nes I'd snnnlias was for only
part OF the extension, planned.
The council authorized Mcfarland
tosget bids on 2,s0S lineal feet Of four
and six-inch pipe. twenty six valve
boxes. 1000 pounds of lead and zoo
pounds Of jute. This material is
wanted to lay water mains in streets
that are to be paved ahead OF the lat
ter Improvement.
It is estimated that about an equal
amount OF pipe OF the same sizes will
be needed for other extensions in I'M
paved streets. The whole is estimated
at about a mile OF extensions at a
cost approximately OF $4,000.

i. At the Lyric.

Jackie" Saunders does some very
clever work In 1.-The Twin Triangle"
shown at the Lyric Thursday night to
two goodsized audiences. Miss Saun-
ders takes the double role of Czerta,
a gypsy dancer and Madeline, a
wealthy young society girl. The story
Is a complicated one, dealing with the
love affairs Of both girls. Czerta turns
out to be the long lost daughter Of a
wealthy family, and In, the end is mar
ried to Byrnes, a young artist. The
principal merit in the picture lies in
Miss Saunders clever portrayal Of the
two parts. There Il Is some excellent
trick photography, one especially good
scene showing Miss Saunders kissing
herself. The acting of the other char
acters is good. - =

NOW IT COSTS MORE
TO GO TO SCHOOL
PAPER PENCILS AND EVEN
STATES HAVE JOINED IN
GENERAL ADVANCE.

Conformity with the rise of the cost
OF living, the cost of education has
taken a Jump. Within the last year
the prices of school supplies such as
paper, pens, pencils and drawing ma
terials have increased all the way
from 10 per cent to several hundred
per cent. Recently Samuel D. Larg-
ent, superintendent Of schools at
Great Falls, who is also a member of
the state board of education, was in
formed by a representative of one
OF the big eastern book concerns that,
in some parts Of the country, states,
which were generally discarded Is
years ago as unsanitary, have been re-
introduced. But, as though to add in
suit to in jury, the price of states has
doubled, states that formerly sold at
10 and ID cents now selling at 20 and
25 cents.
Last week one of the biggest sta
tionery stores in the state gave an or
der for supplies that two or three
years ago would have cost $4,000.
Their bill totaled more than $1S, 900.
Colored Material Scars.
The biggest rise is in colored draw
ing materials. Some of the colors OBJ
tanned from dyes imported from Ger
many are no longer to be had at any
price. Others have advanced 500 to
600 per cent.
The effect Of the war is seer par
ticularly in the rise in the price Of all
sulphite bonds, which include the pa
per used in examinations in the
schools. In this ease the rise is not
due to the cutting off of the foreign
supply, but to the demand for sui
phite for the manufacture of ammunj-
ton and the willingness of the allies
to pay unprecedented prices for war
material.
The demands of the war are affect
ing even the pencil making industry.
Some varieties of pencils can no
longer be obtained because Germany
had a monopoly Of their manufacture
while others have risen in price. Pens
also have gone up.
The price of one variety Of medium
grade bond paper that sold at SH
cents a pound wholesale in 1915, had
risen to 10 "a cents last April and
recently was quoted at 14.7S cents
with every prospect that the price
would mount still higher.

THREE CITIES BACKING
STATE DELEGATION TO
ST. PAUL WINTER FETE.

The Kalispell, Lewistown and
Great Falls Commercial clubs
have undertaken to make up a
party Of business men from
Montana, particularly the north
ern part Of the state, to attend
the st. Paul winter carnival
which opens January 81 and
closes February 4. This will be
in the nature Of a return cour-
tesy for the visit paid to Mon
tana last July by rs business
men from st. Paul accompanied
by the Minnesota State band. It
is believed that arrangements
can be made for a special train.
Louis Newman, president Of
the Great Falls Commercial
club, recently was authorized to
name a committee Of five, repre-
senting different sections of the
state, to determine on a uniform
costume for the Montana delega-
ton in the parades at the carni-
val. Already three members of
this committee have been chos-
en-, w. G. Elliot of Kalispell,
DR.. Mark D. Eoyt of Glasgow
and w. N. Smith of Lewistown,
president Of the First National
bank at Harlowtown and vice
president Of the Montana Flour
Mill company Of Lewistown,
Harlowtown and Great Falls.
The suggestion for a uniform
costume for the Montana party
at the carnival was made by Mr..
Elliot and was communicated to
Mr.. Newman by P. N. Bernard,
secretary Of the Kalispell cham
Der of commerce.
When the St. Paul party was
in Great Falls, Louis w. Hill,
president Of the Great Northern,
suggested at a banquet that
Great Falls organize a carnival
club and nominated former SEN
ator Paris Gibson as president.
Senator Gibson was the unanim-
Gus choice Of the assemblage for
the post.

FRUIT COOKIES.

The old-time cookie jar has almost
disappeared, but nowadays charming
little biscuit boxes have appeared in
its place. To be sure, they grace the
tea table rather than the pantry
shelf, but they serve the same purpose
as their more substantial ]progenitor.
And if they are filled with small and
dainty cookies they will prove quite
as tempting, both at tea time and for
the ~between-meal nibble. Here are
some recipes for fruit cookies to
keep IN them. They should be daint-
lily cut and baked just to the right
shade of light golden brown.

MAKE EACH HEN PAY
81 PER YEAR PROFIT

Make each hen pay over $l.O0 a
year clear profit. This is what some
farmers in Missouri are doing by
feeding meat scraps to their chickens.
Others use sour milk to balance the
ration and gain the same results.
-Four and two-tenths pounds of meat
scraps or SO pounds, A quarts. of sour
milk per hen per year will do the same
for you.
The scientific reason for the in
crease in egg production is that eggs
are very high in protein or albumen,
and protein is the main constituent of
meats, and milk also is high in protein.
Without supplying this necessary con
stituent, the hen with common starchy
foods low in protein, cannot properly
pdo her duty and lay eggs.
Experiments carried on by the In
diana and Missouri Experiment Sta
ton have clearly demonstrated that
by the simple addition of meat or
SOU milk to the ration, hens will
triple their e%gg-laying capacity.
Fresh eggs are so cents a dozen this
week, and they will be higher next
week. The question lies with you
whether this golden opportunity will
slip by without your notice. Feed
your hens protein this winter
watch them lay and rake in the cash.

Had Two Umpires.
O'Neill was seconded by two
friends, Joe Bean and Dan Coughlan.
Con was valeted by his trainer, Lon
McCarty, and Joe Riley.
There were two umpires and a ref
cree.
Order being called, the rules of the
London prize ring were read from
the gallery, and at "a minutes to two
the men shook hands.
A description Of the pioneer boxers,
as given by the renorter for the Post
who wrote about the contest, is worth
reproducing. He says:
econ Orem stands 5 feet 6 1-2
inches and is a model of symmetry,
firm, wiry and healthy, with a boxers
eve. He showed thorough training.
Hugh O'Neill had the advantage of
SO pounds on his side and some two
inches in height, being altogether the
larger and more powerful man-cool,
of unflinching nerve and great
strength. The betting was altogether
in his favor, and it seemed impossible
to hope that a man of Orem's size
could contest the fight with him sue
cessfully."
Orem drew first blood in the second
round.
The battle was a bruising one, with
each knockdown counting as a round.
O'Neill, it would seem, finished the
stronger, but at the end of 1875 rounds
Con was still game and on his feet.
Both men we're too weak for aggres-
sive boxing, so the bout was declared
a draw, all bets called off and the
crowd was satisfied. Each boxer
received $500 as his share of the
purse.
Virginia City had $500 people at
that time and the contest was one of
the big events in the history of the
camp. Orem died many years ago,
but relatives of his still live in Butte.

Butte. Sixteen years ago Ketchel was
a bellboy in Butte hotels. He was a
lanky, awkward-appearing younyster
with long arms and Il diffident man
ner, shy and embarrassed when spok-
Ell to. Yet a few years later Ketchel
was champion middleweigh Of the
world and II of the really great
fighters the country has produced. His
first notable victory was over Jerry
Mccarthy of Butte at Great Falls in
the days when Mccarthy was as hard
and shifty a boxer as the west had to
offer. While still in his early twen-
ties, Ketchel was murdered on a ranch
in Missouri where he was training.
Noted Pioneer Boxer.
One boxer who made his mark in
the sporting annals of Montana has
been forgotten by all excepting the
pioneers OF the state and a few who
follow boxing records. This is Con
Orem, who fought several battles in
the gold camps of the early days, and
who was as game a pugilist as ever
donned a glove. In January, 1865, he
battled for three hours with Hugh
O'Neill, who outweighed him by fifty
two pounds, to a 1S5-round draw.
That was a picturesque affair,
staged as it vas in an unfinished log
building in Virginia City. Today
moving picture companies would give
many thousands of dollars merely for
the rights to pictures of the gathering
that watched it and the surroundings.
The ring "a pitched at the lower
end Of a building called Leviathan
hall, which vas in course of construc-
ton. This building was erected by a
Mr.. Nelson with the special object of
developing muscular talent, and was
used for giving boxing and similar
entertainments. It was IS feet long
by % broad. Two galleries were
built around the lower end.
The audience was composed of as
varied and motlev a gathering as
ever the sun shone upon, for it was
early in the afternoon of a cold but
clear and sunny January day. There

was represented, too, there being quite
a sprinkling Of women in the seats,
most of them girls from the dance

From the Rafters.
Additional accommodations were af-
forded by erecting a lean-to around
the unenclosed part of the building in
the neighborhood of the ring. There
was no roof on the building and MANY
watched the contest from where they
had perched on the rafters.
The ring was leveled very fairly
and was covered with fine gravellv
sand. A brass band. directed by q
nioneer musician of the name Of
Waugh, furnished music that at least
could be termed lively. The crowd
was as lively as the music.

When his daughter Margaret be-
came the wife of Theodore Schulze
in New York recently, William b.
Thompson gave her as her wedding
gift a check for $1,000, 000.
William B. Thompson was born and
bred in Montana. Virginia City was
his birthplace. His father, William
Thompson, was mayor of Butte about
20 years ago. Mr.. Thompson, junior,
married Miss Gertrude Hickman,
daughter Of another old time resident
of Virginia City, and who served the
state of Montana as treasurer. The
bride of last week, who received this
extraordinary wedding present, was
born in Helena, where the family liv-
ed for many years. The Thompsons
and Hickmans are known to thousands
Of M%ontanans. Only last summer Will
liam B. Thompson presented the city
Of Butte with a plat of ground for a
public park.
How Thompson acquired enough
wealth to be able to present his daugh-
ter with a million dollars on the oc-
casion of her marriage without MAX
ing a dent in his fortune. is one of
the financial romances of the west.
Eighteen years ago William B. Thomp-
son was a resident of Butte, and was
associated with his father and broth
ers in the real estate business. In the
mining metropolis real estate is akin
to mining, because practically all of
the surface of the townsite of Butte
and subdivisions covers untold miner
al wealth. Young Thompson first
"tasted blood' in big finance dur
ing the copper bonn of about Is years
ago. After several minor successes he
concluded that mining promised more
substantial returns than real estate.
So he moved to New York CITY and
opened offices.
Success came to him quickly. His
first flotatlon was the Shannon Cop
per company. Then he became inter
oSlCu III d Svuulcdle which lOOk over
the copper deposits neal Ely, Nevada.
Ely developed into one of the big cop
per deposits of the southeast, and
Thompson realized more than a mil
lion dollars in the development.
Hayden, Stone e. Company figured
with Thompson in the Ely develop
ment, and the members of this old
firm became so impressed with the
abilities of the young ~financier that
they took him in as a partner, and
made him manager of their largest Of
flee, in New York city.
Thompson became identified with
the Cobalt boom early. In fact he
had much to do with its making. He
took an option of the control of the
Nippissing company. The Goddess of
Fortune waved her magic wand, and
the Butte financial wizard cleaned up
something like $6,000,0O0. Thompson
became president of the Nippissing,
