BANDIMIS MINTY INDEPENDEAT LEDOER HOW BUTTE MAY SAVE A FORTUNE IOWA MAN WOULD TARE CARE OF (JITY'N GARBAGE FOR $70,1100 ANNUALLY. Would Affect a Saving of About IOW, - 000 a Year. and Nearly Offetand Loss of Revenues Because of Clod. lag of Saloons; Council Entertain- ing Proposition. J. H. Kelley, an Iowa man, lass made the municipality of Butte a proposition to take care of the city's garbage for $75,000 a year. He pro- poses to utilize the garbage as hog food. If thigt agreement is entered Into it will save the city approximate- ly $60,000 annually. It has been costing the municipal government on an average the books show somewhere between $130,000 and $176,000 a year to do this work. The principal reason, it is under- stood, why Mr. Kelly agrees to do this work for a lower price than the city can do It itself is that he has had considerable experience along these lines in other cities and he knows that there are certain values in garbage when scientifically treat- ed that can be extracted and turned into a profit. Council Committee Approves Mr. Kelly has expressed a willing- ness to p4 an ample bond for the faithful performance of this service, and to take over at a valuation to be fixed by a commission appointed by Ike city and himself all the equip- ment that the municipality has used for this purpose and to return it in good condition as he took it over at the expiration of his contract Council committees that have thor- oughly gone into the matter have naturally been much impressed with the financial saving assur.ed, and have recommended that the city en- ter into a contract of the kind out- lined. If as good service can be obtained aid a saving made to the city of $66,000 or even $50,000 a year there can be no question that the adminis- tration will be entitled to great cred- it for inaugurating such a vastly im- portant eeonomy. May Make Up License Loss. It is estimated that Butte's loss in license revenue, because of the clos- ing of all saloons on January 1, will amount to about $80,000 pet' year, and the Kelly proposal will take ear, of a large amount of this by unt saving effected.% FEEL MISERABLE FROM THAT COLD?

PETERSON LAST SURVIVOR OF THREE JVHO DISCOVERED YELLOWSTONE PARK IN 1869 William Peterson, who will live in history as one of the three white men who first explored the Yellowstone park and gave to the world Jr - defin- ite description of the wonderland of America, died last week at Salmon City, Idaho, where be had lived for more than half a century. Peterson was born in Denmark and sailed around Cape Horn in 1860, landing in California and coming al- most immediately to Idaho, which then included Montana. He was for many years one of the prominent business men of Salmon City and served a term as mayor there. He was the last living member of the trio that made the expedition in 1869 that made the Journey of dis- covery through the park. The discovery of Yellowstone Park —by which is here meant Its full and final disclosure to the world—was the work of three parties that ex- plored it in the years of 1869, 1870 and 1871. The first of these expedi- tions was purely a private enterprise. The companions of Peterson on the trip were David E. Folsom, afterward a prominent citizen of Meagher coun- ty, and C. W. Cook, a well known pioneer of the state. The second expedition was of a mixed character, having semi-official sanction, but being organized and re- cruited by private individuals. This was the famous expedition of 1870, which elaborated on the knowledge of the park first gained by Peterson, Folsom and Cook. The third expe- dition of 1871 was strictly official, under the military and scientific de- partments of the government. It was intended to satisfy the public demand for accurate andaofficial information concerning this new region of won- ders.

Paris—The allied nations are said to be seriously considering the ap- pointment of Herbert C. Hoover take entire charge of the food and relief administration of Europe. London—The British wool council has announced that no military or- ders are being cancelled but are be- ing spread over a longer period to allow production of civilian goods. Tours, France—American Expedi- tionary forces have cancelled eon - tracts aggregating one million dol- lars since the signing of the armis- tice. Mexico City—President Carranza is credited with the statement that under no condition would he accept the nomination for a second term as president of Mexico. One term has been ample for him. Boston—Following a conference of dye manufacturers and textile and dye consuming industries, an appeal was made to the government to create a dye eommisaion to control the im- port of all dyes and dye cloth. Washington—The British govern- ment is now obtaining a supply of wheat from Australia for which It pays 96 cents a bushel. Australia has a surplus of more than 200,000,000 bushels.

An expedition was planned for that y l ear, but came to nothing, g like result attended a similar effort the following year. In 1869 the pro- position came near materializing but fell throngh at the last moment, ow- ing to failure to obtain a military es- cort. There were three members of the proposed expedition of 1868 who re- fused to be frightened off by any threatened dangers. They were Folsom, Petersdn and Cook. They had provided themselves with an ela- borate equipment, and determined to make the trip, escort or no escort. Armed with repeating rifles, Colt's six-shooters and sheath knives, with a double-barreled shotgun for small game, and equipped with a good field glass, pocket compass and ther- mometer and provisions for a six weeks' trip, they set out from Dia- mond City on the Missouri river 40 miles from Helena, September 11, 1869. Route party Took The route lay up the Missouri to Three Forks; thence via Bozeman and Fort Ellis to the Yellowstone river; and thence up the Yellowstone to its junction with the East Fork inside the present limits of Park county. From this point they cross- ed to the east bank and followed up the river, passing through the many groups of hot springs to be found east of the Grand Canyon. On Sep- tember 21, after two weeks of travel, they arrived at the Falls of the Yel- lowstone, where they remained one day. Some distance above the rapids they crossed again to the west shore of the river and then continued up stream past Sulphur mountain and Mud Volcano to Yellowstone lake. They then went to the es.treme mandatory, according to the laws of this state. New York—Half fare rates on the railroads will again be in effect after January 1 for people engaged ex- clusively in religious work; destitute and indigent persons and inmates of national and state homessior soldiers and sailors. Brussels—Belgium will demand the left bank of the Scheldt at the peace conference. This stream enters Holland north of Antwerp. Belgian war costs and damage is estimated at $7,600,000,000 which perhaps will be the indemnity asked. Washington—Ten months will be required to return troops from France according -to the war depart- ment's estimates, which includes the use of idle German vessels and the prospective output of American ship- yards. New York—Hotel. in New York city have refused to comply with the order of Postmaster General Burle- son to not charge more than five cents for phone calls, asserting that the privilege of fixing rates is a part of the state's police powers. Philadelphia — The government has cancelled orders for 1,600 loco- motives placed with the Baldwin lo- comotive plant. The engines were intended for service in France. Or- ders for 400 locomotives for use in this country will keep the company busy until June, 1919. Brockton, Mass,—Unfinished army shoe orders totaling in value more than $5,000,000 are held up in this city and surrounding towns as a re - suit of orders from the war industries board requiring the abandoning of all work. The orders have not been definitely cancelled. New York—The United States gov- ernment will have as its guests In the near future, President Poincare of France, King George of England, King Albert of Belgium, King Victor Emmanuel of Italy and perhaps others from Europe, according to a statement recently issued here by Ste- phen Lausanne, editor of the Paris Matin. • Brussels—In a speech made here upon the coming of Herbert C. Hoov- er, Burgomaster Max said: \Our country was twice saved by America, for the intervention of the American armies which decided the result of the war and delivered our nation, would have freed nothing but a vast cemetery had it not been preceded by the magnificent work to which the name of Hoover is attached.\ OVERALL FACTORY IS READY FOR FIRST WORK Fifty sewing menthes driven by five 10 -horse power motors, at the Finch Overall factory at Livingston will soon begin to turn out overalls, the first to be made in the state. Three carloads of machinery have been received by J. F. Manning, buel- nese manager for Finch & Co., and it Is being *tailed rapidly. Actual work will begin in about a week, It is believed. The finishing touches of the local factory are being put on now. Con- nections have been made with the water system, trenches have , been dug and pipes laid over a distance of 930 feet.

' west shore of the lake and spent some lime examining the surpassingly beautiful springs at thi.t point. Then they crossed the mountains to Sho- shone lake, which they took to be the headset the Madison, and front that point struck out to the northwest over a toilsome country, until they reached the Lower Geyser basin near Nee Perce creek. Here they saw the Fountain geyser in action and many other phenomena in that region. They ascended the Firehole river to Ex- elsior geyser and Prismatic lake, and then turned down the elver on their way home. They were absent on the expedition 36 days. Afraid To Toll Truth These explorers were so astonish- ed at what they saw that, according to a statement made by Peterson later, they were, on their return, um willing to risk their reputations for veracity by a full recital of them to a small company of their friends who assembled to hear their experiences. Folsom prepared a most entertain- ing narrative, which he sent to Lip- pincott's magazine. It was returned with a curt note stating that the ma- gazine did not deal in that character of fiction.' He submitted the manu- script to one or two other magazines, and one of these made the observa- tion that the article should bear the caption, \The New Munchausen,\ de- licately hinting that the author might claim reputation for telling big Iles equal to that of the famous Ba- ron Munchausen. Finally the West- ern Monthly of Chicago accepted the article and published it in July, 1870. It is one of the most popular des- criptions extant of that portion of the park which it describes. The art- icle and interviews with the author and his companions had a strong in- fluence in leading to the succeeding expeditions, which finally made known officially to the world the full story of the western wonderland.

Only 99 Reports of Enemy Owned Property in State Made to 'Fed- eral Custodian: Probate Court Record to Be Searched; Weighing - ton Woofs Information. The Montana Council of Defense is in receipt of a request from the alien property custodian, Washing- ton, D. C., that the services of the members of county councils be el. - listed in connection with the discov- ery of property belonging to alien enemies. In a letter to Governor Stewart, chairman of the Montana Council of Defense, the alien prop- erty custodian says: Citizens Asked to Help. \Even with the valuable assist- ance already rendered by the bench, baX and numerous other patriotic citizens of Montana, only 99 reports of enemy owned property bad been filed with the alien property custo- dian from the entire state up to No- vember 1st, 1918. It is the belief of the alien property custodian that this does not, cannot' in fact, reflect accurately the extent of enemy holdings in your great state with its rapidly Increasing cosmopolitan pop- ulation and its vast resources in min- eral, timber and agricultural wealth, which necessarily most have attract- ed capital from enemy countries, al- ways eager for profitable investment in America. Only by the active as- sistance of the citizens of Montana can this unreported property be lo- cated and sequestered and as far as possible invested in Liberty bonds, thus making the enemy's property bear a share of the burden of the war,\ , Use Own System.

The Farmer Receives More Than Five Thousand Dollars a Minute From Swift & Company This amount is paid to the farmer for five stock, by Swift & Company alone, during the trading hours of every business day. All this money is paid to the farmer through the open market in competition with large and small packers, shippers, speculators and dealers. The farmer, feeder, or shipper receives every cent of this money ($300,000 an hour, nearly $2,000,000 a day, $11,500,000 a week) ia cash, on the spot, as soon as the stock he has just sold is weighed up. Some of the money paid to the farmer dur- ing a single day comes back to the company in a month from sale of products; much does not come back for sixty or ninety days or more. But the next day Swift & Company, to meet the demands made by its customers, must pay out another $2,000,000 or so, and at the present high price levels keeps over $250,000,000 continuously tied up in goods on the way to market and in bills owed to the company. This gives an idea of the volume of the Swift & Company business and the requirements of financing it. Only by doing a large business can this company turn live stock into meat and by-products at the lowest possible cost, prevent waste, operate refrigerator cars, distribute to retailers in all parts of the country — and be recompensed with a profit of only a fraction of a cent a pound—a profit too small to have any noticeable effect on the price of meat or live stock.
