4. Kendall, Montana, May 5, 1903 KENDALL CHRONICLE Published weekly where the big mines are situated. E. R. CLEVELAND Editor and Proprietor. SUBSCRIPTION RATIlit : One Year $2.00 Six Months ......... $1.25 Pay in advance and avoid the disagreeable dunning letter. - — From a Financial Standpoint It is always proper to consider well an undertaking before engaging in it. Now the matter of cleaning the yards and alleys of Kendall is entitled to as much thought from every point of view as any other questiop that may affect the well being of our community from time to time. It has been previously stated in the CHRONICLE that it is to the best interests of this camp to be clean, from the standpoint of health, general at- tractiveness to visitors and others desir- ing to permanently locate here, and the pride our citizens would take in a clean, healthy city. Now from a financial standpoint : It is well known that when Gilt Edge was quarantined in January and February, 1902, the loss to that camp run up in- to the thousands of dollars, not to say anything of the many inconveniences that its people were put to because of isolation with the outside world, and the unsavory reputation that clung to the place for a long time afterwards. People were slow to go to Gilt Edge even after the quarantine was raised, and the consequent loss to that camp from the set back it thus received, is difficult to estimate. Fergus co. also had bills to pay amounting to several thous- ands of dollars, as its share of the cost of quarantine and the medical atten- dance that was so necessary to the small -pox patients. If the people of Gilt Edge had expended a small sum of money and a little time in keeping their alleys and yards clean, it is most probable they never would have had to undergo the sad and costly experience of the winter of 1902. Gilt Edge's fnisfortune should be an object lesson for Kendall to profit by. Naturally, Kendall is one of the tnost)healthful places op the map, ,as is shown by the exceedingly low death tate here during the life of the camp. But our people should not try to de- ceive themselves that it will be thus re- gatclless of how much filth and rotten- ness lays at their back doors. Our local physician asserts that unless something is done towards cleaning up Kendall there is almost certain to be an epidemic of some dread disease prevail here before another year roils around. Elsewhere in the CitRoNicLE is a \Notice to the Public\ in which it is offered to clean and keel) clean every back yard in Kendall for the trifling sum of 50c per month for em:h resi- dence or business place. As a matter of business economy Kendall people should not delay in having their sur- rounding premises cleared of all col- lected 'rubbish. _ Bryan says there is a growing discon- tent among the Republicans; but then Bryan says so many things that amount to nothing. The Western Union seems to have gotten the upper hand on the people Butte in the recent strike. ^ It is not often a barber attempts to. shave a citizen against the latter's will ; but such an instance is reported from - . Lewistown. If the tonsorial artist wins out he ought to throw in a hair cut. Salt Lake enthusiasts are trying to induce the President to go on a buffalo hunt on one of the islands in the Salt Lake. It is safe to state the President will decline the offer. He is not that kind of a sportsman. call for a new scale. From all over the country comes news of strikes. But the latest strike is that of 150 deaf mute electrical workers in Chicago. l'he men quit one day last week with- out saying a word ; but they let the management know why they walked out just the same. Without making a 4 reat noise about it they demanded a shorter day. And they were joined by other employes who had a voice in the matter. England must pay dearly for its war in South Africa, and the uprising in China. According to the report of Mr. Ritchie, chancellor of the ex- chequor the total expenditure by Eng- land to conduct their war was $1,085,- 000,000. This is an enormous sum of money—a sum the ordinary mind J. Pierpont Morgan has gone to can not comprehend. It is not sur- Europe, leaving the United States be- prising the people of England are hind to get along the best way they groaning under their burden of taxa- i!an. But so long as Rockefeller is o deck business is likely to go on just a though both bosses were at home. To hear Mark Hanna talk one might think he was always the warm, person - al champion champion of the working man. It is all right for him to espouse the cause of the wage earning masses ; but that is no reason why they should boost him for the Presidency. Hay in eastern Washington is quoted at $2c per ton. This is the highest figure known in twenty years. A sholt crop last year and the demand for he in China and Alaska accounts for the stiff prices. 'Hie man with a hay rtrrich these days has as good a thing •As• -b cyanide mine. The sad news is out that Bob Fit- zimmons is broke. It seems to be the. fate of most pugilists to \go broke Corbett earned enough money to sup. port Izimself in elegance if he had been half , way conservative ; and the same thing may be said of lanky Bob. John L. Sullivan is financially stranded, toe:. Two or three large lumber mills are to be constructed at Spokane. The/ are to be large affairs, and the exult business will, it is asserted, emplosi some 1,200 men. Spokane seems to be forging ahead. It is growing faster than any other town in the west. En. thusiasts predict the town will hav4 loo,c)00 people inside of ten yea's. ?; Max Kraff, a German farm hand, at Davenport, Wash., -had the discourtesy; a few days ago, to hang himself on thrit door knob of his physician. The man was under treatment, but probably con- cluded the doctor had not enough skill to cure him. Not having the patience to wait final resnits of the doctor's pre- scriptions Kraff performed the happy dispatch. It was certainly an unkind thing for Kraff to do ; but it is possible he had had previous experience with doctors, and knew there was little show for him. Strikes of all kinds seem to he the order of the day. Pupils in public schools \go out\ when affairs are not conducted to their liking ; messenger boYs quit work when the spirit moves them; mechanics of every degree drop their tools at a moment's notice and tion. And there is no relief in sight. Each year adds to the cost of conduct- ing the government, and to meet the bills the rate of taxation increases. It will not be long before a change will come. The people, while patient, will not forever submit to the load that is being heaped upon them. It is stated by the officials of the Montana railroad that the locomotive whistles will be heard in Lewistown next July. It is hoped that such will be the case for Fergus county is already too much delayed in its growth for want of railway facilities. Business progress is retarded in Lewistown as well asin the ruining camps of Kendall and Gilt Edge. There is all kinds of freight now piled up at Harlowton waiting' for freight teams to haul it to its destination in the several towns of the county. Many tons of mining machinery that should no be in Gilt Edge aod in place, thereby giving em- ployment to more men on the Gold Reef pioperties, is lYing idle at Har- ilowton. .Kendall is in the same fix. Building that should be in progress here is not. yet started, and all because it is impossible to get freight in Busi- ness will move at a much faster pare when the railroad is completed, and the mining interests of Fergus are not the lcast that will be benefitted thereby.
