Butte.SWpt. 16.^The new edition of^^Barnes' Oomplrte Geography, Mon^^tana Edition,'' published by the Amer^^ican Book company, ia out and the^copies arrived In Butte last evening^all ready fur the echoole, which are^to open Monday. Tlh-to geography to^by oontra^Jt required IB be revieed^every two years and the geography^has acc ndjngly been revised and^^correoted^ to bring It rlgtht up to^the yoar 18*. The ^Montana Edi^^tion^ contains uhe same matter a^ the^regular edition, with the edition of a^BUitplrmenl of several page* devoted^exclusively to Montana, ao that pu^^pils in Montana can study their own^state at greater length than the^ text^In the main part of the book would^permit.
Theg.-osraphy, 1m the parts whloh re^^late to Montana, appears coo be a^Helena advertising Sheet, sucn as Hel^^ena used to print In Eaetern maga-^slnes and papers, rather than a truth^^ful and accurate statement of facts^regarding Montana, The capital rtgi.it^being over, It to possible for any per^^son to consider this matter without^(he peril of being accused of preju^^dice.
Inthe regular part of the geography^Is a map in which Montana Is grouped^with two other rtatea. tin *h^ map to^this direction:
Largestletters Indicate largest^dty.
Thename ^Helena^ Is printed In let^^ters ao much larger Khan those of any^other city that the names of the other^cities can scarcely be seen.
Thetext In regard to Montana is as^follows:
''MontanaIs nearly twice the sire of^Kansas. Ms surface, except In the^northeastern part, Is rugged and moun^^tainous. Mining and stock raising ar*^the dhief Industries. Helena, the capi^^tal, and BuCte, the seoond city in the^state, are centers of rich mining re^^gions.
TheIdea of mentioning Helena be^^fore Butte as ^as a rich mining cen^^ter; and of calling Butte the ^second^^eaty of Montana! And the pupils of^Montana are required to learn this Me^by rote!
Inthe '^Special Geography of Mon^^tana,^ in the hack part of the book,^something Is given about each of the^counties. This Is Interesting:
Lewisand Clarke; tlhe county seat^is Helena, which la also the capital of^the state. This county Is noted for^having the smallest farm mortgage^Indebtedness, according to the Last^census,of any county in the United^Ktatea. Its resources are diversified,^consisting of mines of golld and silver,^coal measures, and a considerable^area of agricultural land. An imp-o-t-^ant town In the county Is Marysvllle,^^he center of a very rich gold produc^^ing section. The county to reached by^the Northern Pacific, Great Northern^and Union Pacific railways. Branches^from Helena afford easy connections^to all sections of the state.^ .
Thispart about the railroad center^Is evidently copied from the capital^pamphlet. But oertadnly the puplis of^Montana ougtut not to be required to^recite In chorus that the Union Pacific^railroad runs to Helena.
Thisabout Deer Lodge county to^not so enthusiastic:
DeerLodge county, looafed In the^^western setlon of the state. Is one of^the old counties. The county seat to^Deer Lodge. The largest town Is Ana^^conda. Deer Lodge valley to one of^the most productive agricultural sec^^tions In the state. There are. exten^^sive deposits of gold and stiver ores.^It Is reached by the Northern Pacific,^Great Northern and Union Pacific rail^^roads.
Itwill be noticed that the geography,^like the Helena pamphlet, only speaks^of Anaconda as a 'Uown.
ThisIs what it says of Silver Bow
county:
SilverBow county .located In the^southwestern part of the state, to the^smallest In area In tihe state. The^county seat, Butte, Is the second city^In the state, l'ts principal resources^are mineral, having within its bounda^^ries the most extensive copper mines^In the Northwest, as well as mines of^gold and silver. The county Is reached^by the Northern Pacific, Great North^^ern, I'nton Pacific, Montana Union^and Butte, Anaconda ^ Pacific rail^^road s.
Tieroads entering Butte are cor^^rectly given, but It ahould be noticed^that the geography for some reason did^not epeolfy the ^branches which con-^rseolt ^Helena^ with ail parts of the^state.
Butnow comes the worst outrage^of all. After the description of the^counties ootnea the description of tha^^Principal CWea and Towns^^ Hel^^ena to given first and to ths only one^given In big type. Butte and all the^r^*t of the oMies of 'Montana are des^^cribed in small nonpareil type, like^f.^otnotes, as though ecarcely worth^the reading. This to the way It starts^off:
Helenais the permanent capital of^Montana, and the county seat of Lewis^and Clark count^. It was Incorporated^as a ^!ty in April, ItSl. It Is situated^on the Northern Pacific ami Great^Northern railroads, about 12 miles west^of tlhe Missouri river in the center of a^rich mineral region. Its school house*^and churches are large and handsome^structures. Helena has an excellent^water system, good sewerage, an effec^^tive fire department, electric light sys^^tem, in on one of the direct transcon^^tinental lines of railway.
Hereare located the United States^district and circuit courts, the United^States assay office and government re^^finery, the office of the United States^collector of internal revenue for Idaho,^Utah and Montana, th- office of the^United States surveyor general of Mon^^tana, the government weather bureau^for the state, and the United States^land office. Congress has made an ap-^projwlation for the erection of a fed^^eral building and the legislature has^provided for tha erection of a state cap^^ital building t# cost $1,000,000. A few^miles from the city is located Fort^Harrison, one of the largest military^depots in the West, the total cost of^wihich when completed will b^ ll.ono.oon.^Helena is the principal wholesale and^Jibbing point In Montana
Thatis all right enougn to put into^an advertisement of Helena, but the^Idea of putting It In a geography^which all the children of the state must^learn. The I lea of compelling the chll-^[^dren to learn by rote that Helena in^^stead of Butte to Che principal business
centerof Montana: that Helena has an^excellent wader system, when every^child In Helena knows that is false,^and that only a few weeks ago the^people of Helena voted to bond the^city for a water supply. ^Center of a^rich mining region'' Is good.
ThenIn nonpareil type Is the fol^^lowing:
Buttewith the adjoining towns to the^largest center of population in the^state, and Is the most noted mining^center in America.^ Mining to the chief^Industry, but the dry has large foun^^dries and planing mills whose output^is used in ths mines and reduction^works. Ths great mines and mining^smelting plants make ths city one of^tht greatest buadnesa centers In the^state. Mining silver ores was In th*^early days the greatest and most prof^^itable industry, but 1n recent years the^mining of copper has exceeded In ag^^gregate value the silver output. Butte^has all th* convenience* of an eastern^town^gas, electric lights, telephone,^telegraph, street railways, cable and^electric cars, waterworks, banks, opera^house, hospitals, etc. The state school^of mines Is bloated here. Its shipment*^are flhlefly gold, silver and copper.
Howcareful this geography Is not to^mention the schools and eh-un'hew of^ltuwe. aa It does of Helena, and It^does not even mention Butte's puhlie^library, the pride of the state. Care to^also taken to make Butte ^one^ of the^business centers, and It Is asserted that^Butte to only most populous ;n con^^junction wlfh ^adjoining towns.
Herefa all that is said of Great^Falls. Which does more business In a^minute than Helena does all day:
GreatFalls, the county seat of Cas^^cade county. Is the great manufactur^^ing town of Montana. The water pow^^er at The falls of the Missouri has been^utilized and here are located extensive^refineries and reduction works, flour^^ishing mills, Iron foundries and manu^^facturing enterprises of all kinds.
NothingIs said of the splendid^streets, magnificent buildings and love^^ly location of Great Falls, bound In^tone to be the chief ofty of Montana.
HereIs what the geography says of^Anaconda:
AnacondaIn Deer Lodge county, ts^prominent from the fact that here is^located the reduction and refining^works of the Anaconda Mining com^^pany. They are believed to be the^largest and best equipped of their kind^in the world.
Thatto all that to said of Anaconda,^where more building has been done the^past year than In all the rest of Mon^^tana put together. The geography^gives it out as a cold fit that Helena^is the ^center^ of a very rich mining^region, but h Is guarded and conserva^^tive regarding Anaconda and says of^the smelting works: ^They are be^^lieved^ to be the best of their ^kind ^^Anaconda and Missoula are famous for^having the finest supplies of water and^the 'best water systems In the state, yet^the same man who wrote of Helena's^^excellent water system^ did not even^mention the water supplies of Anacon^^da and Missoula or of any other city^in the stats.

Butt*.Sept la.^This city has not got^the cholera scare yet The news from^San Francisco and Honolulu to read^with Interest, but Butt* has a wonder^^ful confidence In Its .-ulphur smoke. If^the arsenic and sulphur fumes cm^knock out trees and kill the ^^-ms tf^vegetation It certainly. In the opinion^of the ordinary Buto cltlxen, can kill^i a small thing like a cholera germ. The^football team will be turned loose on^th* cholera If It ventures to Bfcaej Us^head.
Inthe city health office no apr-re -^henslon Is expressed of danger from^cholera. The high altitude. :he n lrth-^I em climate and the smoke are relied^] on, and rhe health authorities Satires^I the cholera would get the ^vorst tf It^If tt tackled Butte.
Thebids for supplvlnir 'be [4Jrf with^I water must be In by next Wedln^s lay^' night, when the council will m-et to^I open the bids and I t the contract.^, Nothing has been Marti from James A^j Murray since ths ouncll replied to^his proposition rather curtly, as Mr^Murray thought. Unless Mr Murray^puts in a bid thai of the Butte^I City Water company will be the^only one. Even If he doesn't put In a^bid Mr Murray has nevertheless been^I a public benefactor. He can claim that^through fear of opposition the present^water company was Induced to change^Us supply of water and start to bring^In another supply. It Is doubtful If^this would be done but for fear of an^opposition company entering the field.^The water has been much Improved^| the past few weeks No reservoir^water Is coming to Hutte now. and It^Is promised that no more will be^brought In. The flume lhat connects^directly with the creek runs to Hutte^without touching the reservoir, and the^rains have raised the creek so much^that most of Butte's water now comes^from this supply. The ponds on ihe^flat are still used however, as far as^Is necessary.
Thesprinkling carts have for the^most part gone out of business Some^sre still in the field, but they will pay^no more license and whenever the 11-^! censes for which they have paid ex-^: plre they will quit fur the Beaton.
TheWest Galena street grading^proposition and culvert across the^gulch seems to have been lost In the^shuttle. It was all fixed once^It pass I^the cottBct] and It was rappOStd the^work was going right along. Hut it^seems that an Irregularity In the pas^^sage of trhe bHI was discovered, so^that Ihe ocoinMl legally never voted t i^grade that street. Since then, how^^ever, nothing has been done to rectify^the error, and In all probability there^will be no grading this year on that^street.
Theadvertisements for the grading^of Wyoming street from Mercury to^Front an- now being published and the^bbls must be in by next Wednesday^nlffht.
Alarge force is at work opening up^the streets on the Volunteer addition^across the gulch. This will give much^l^etter access to the streets In the^northwestern part of the town. There^will bo three crossings of the H, A.^^ P. tracks.
Workhas not yet begun on ths sew^^ers In East Broadway from I, ^ ^ avenue^to Covert street. The |^etltlons for^these sewers were referred to the sew^^er committee some weeks ago but they^were referred to the sewer committee^which ha.s not yet reported on them.
Thechances seem to bo favorable to^an approving report on the proposition^to lay double street car tracks on Park^street.
Thecrematory to unable to take care^of all the refuse that Is n ^w helng^dumped there from all parts of the^city. The crematory Is kept running^night and day, but the refuse con^^tinues to accumulate on the dump. The^city will have t^^ buy more land In that^vicinity at once (o accommodate the^city s output of refuse until the cre^^matory can cat !i up.
Therewill b* a proposition to the^roun-il next Wetmesaat night for the^opening of Low. r Montana street from^Iron street to the bridge. The line^of the attJT limits runs along the renter^of Montana street. The county pro^^posal the grading and opening of the^street, the expense to be dlvbl sl. It Is^supposed that the proposition will tie^to divide the aSaMet equally between^the city and county, but this will not^be definitely known until the proposi^^tion to read at the next council meet^^ing. |
