WHAT THEY DI1 IN'1899
Policemen and Firemen- Hgve
Not Been Idle..
SUMMARY OFTHE REPORTS
Total Number of..Arrests Was 2,795
and the City Recolved $18,250 In
Fines-Loss By Fire Was
Only $27,568.
The chiefs of the police and fire de
partments have prepared reports show
ing .the WOrk pierformed by these de
partments during 1899. Both are
worthy of an analytical inspection.
The report of what has been.accom
plished by the police shows the mem
bers of 'the force were not idle. During
the year'there were 2,795 arrests or an
average of a fraction less than eight a
day for each.day in the .year. This
might betaken to indicate that Butte
is a very lawless city, but such an in
ference- would not be entirely correct.
The large number of arrests dbes not
denote more lawlessness than might he
expected to be found in any other city
just like Butte, if there were another
on earth. As a matter of fact, it is hut
the natural result of the employment
of large numbers of men, the large
majority of whom are single, at good
wages, for in any community where ::o
many men earn the money that labor
ers earn in Butte there is bound to
be more drinking done than there
would bain a community where money
is less fee, and when men get drunk
they are likely to commit petty of
fenses and the vast majority of the
arrests were for offenses of this char
acter.
Of the total number of arrests, 1,550
of them were of male persons and 1,187
wele females. This is another showing
that would not be likely to be found
in any other kind of a city of Butte's
population. The large number of ar
rests of females might be taken to in
dicate a low state of public morals,
but again this would not be exactly
correct. That so many women figure
in 'the police records may be attributed
to the same conditions mentioned.
A further item of interest in the re
port is the amount of revenue the city
derived from fines collected from per
sons punished in the police court. The
total amount of/ fines collected was
$13,250, which shows that the legal de
partment of the city government was
not lax in seeking to punish offenses
against the morals of the community.
A recapitulation of the report for the
year follows:

The "epotrt of ohief Peter 'ahg'er (f
the fire department makes a most sat
isfactory showing. From It it will be
seen that while the department was
called out 147 times in response to
alarms of fire, the amount of property
destroyed was only $27,568, or consider
ably less than half the loss entailed by
one fire which occurred during the pre
ceding year. Considering the value of
the property that was involved in the
fires that occurred, which was almost
$2,000,000, the loss Butte sustained by
fires during the year would seem to
have been held as near the minimum
as it could have been. A summary-of
Chief Sanger's report is as follows:

A Big Land Deal in Washlng
ton-Railroad Talk.
F. I. Whitney, general passenger and
ticket agent of the Great Northern,
has written a letter to Major J. E.
Dawson regarding the criticism of the
unreliable statistics in the company's
publication, "Across America," espe
cially as they relate to the population
of Montana cities. Mr. Whitney says:
"I am sorry that the population of
your towns was not correctly stated.
We based our estimates on the census
of 1890, and evidently did not realize
the extent to which Butte had grown.
It does not lool;, certainly, as though
there were 60,000 people there. How
ever, it is inevitable in a book of this
kind covering so much statistical mat
ter that errors should creep in, and we
are making a note of all points to
which our attention Is directed and
will see that they are remedied in the
next edition, which will no doubt be
published shortly."'
A meeting of the representatives of
the North Pacific transcontinental
lines was held in St. Paul Thursday
to consider the matter of bomeseekers'
rates during the coming season. The
subject was thoroughly discussed, and
while it was generally conceded that
perhaps these excursions had been a
little too frequent during the past sea
son, they had reports to show that a
large portion of the travelers who ob
tained these rates did so for the pur
pose of locating in the West. These
rates will be made to all points on the
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
on' the first and third Tuesdays of
January, February, March and April,
1900, the rate announced being one fare
plus $2 for the round trip.
The big deal whereby the Weyerhau
ser lumber syndicate secures control of
1,000,000 acres of Northern Pacific lands
in the state of Washington has been
settled, and it is understood final ar
rangements have been made. About 1,
000,000 acres are included in the trans
fer. Negotiations hung fire for some
time, but the cause was largely tech
nical and easily adjusted. The price
paid is that of the original figures, $6,
500,000.
New train equipment is being re
ceived by the Northern Pacific with
which its double daily train service
between St. Paul and the Twin Cities
will be equipped. It has not been def
initely settled upon what date these
trains will be started, but it is thought
the first one will be sent out about
April 1. With reduced time and fine
equipment the Northern Pacific will be
prepared to take care of the increas
ing business even better than it did
last year.-Pioneer Press.
The official circular from the traffic
department of the Northern Pacific has
just been issued and confirms the ap
