RUMOR OF FAILURE OF SPUDS ABSURD FLAG DAY AND GLORIOUS FOURTH 8 'it-1 ,1 Plans for Sane Celebration Take Shape Parade Is to Be One Feature. Special to The Inter Mountain. Anaconda, June 14. The report of a "failure vl (lie potato crop" in the Deer Lodge valley altogether wrong, according to most authentic information at hand. John 1.

Perkins of the Race Track district, iwho is 3 very successful market gardener, said, this morning: "We have had the best growing weather that we have had for years. There has been rain a plenty but not too much, nothing like we had two years ago, when there was a bumper crop of spuds. "The is late and potatoes are only beginning to show above the ground in most of the fields, but they have a strong and healthy appearance, and any forecast of the ultimate result is premature." R. M. tireig, who is superintending operations on the French Crossing ranch, along the tions of the French Cross ng experimental garden, along the Peer Lodge river laughs at the suggestion of a small crop this year.

"The spuds are up and a coming; these evening showers and warm days are making the little vines fairly jump in the growth. No one need get alarmed about the root crops of the valley this year, at least not yet," said the expert gardener. Max Kramer was in Anaconda today from his home, eight miles this side of Peer Lodge, and he stated that it was news to him thai the potato crop had failed in the valley, as it was news to everybody else who heard the Mr. Kramer is from the lower part cf the valley and if there was any truth in the report, he would be sure not to miss it. Another valley man in town today is J.

V. Watson and he declared that there is no such thing as a failure in the potato crop as far as he knows. Everything with this crop is looking fine and not alone that but the hsy crop is the best in years, the grass standing now from eight inches to a foot tall. 1 jty CHEW SPIOffiB "The Old Reliable J) SALT LAKE EXCURSION Saturday, June 17 Special to The Inter Mountain. Anaconda, June 14.

"Old Glory" was flung to the breezes more generally this morning in honor of flag day than the occasion has been observed in Anaconda. The colors streamed from all of the staffs of the city and the business houses hung the banner in the windows, while a large number of citizens wore the silken emblems on their lapels. The Fourth of July committees are busy outlining their plans for the celebration. Chairman Lawler of the finance committee will start his canvass for funds today and from the spirit that has been main-fested, the committee will have no trouble in raising the amount necessary for the occasion. The celebration will be on the lines of the latest adaptation of the Fourth of July.

There will be no fireworks and the sale of fire crackers and ear-racking devices is prohibited by law- The entertainment section of the committee promises to make good the loss to young America by furnishing them with other amusements and pastimes that will completely mark the day. A suggestion that meets with favor by the parade committee is that all of the societies of the city prepare representation of their orders for appearance in the big procession. They will not be called upon this year to turn out in a long march, but it is requested that each organization prepare a float or some emblematic device that may be of comic or of an instructive nature, to be borne in the pageant. tt A parade of nations is another suggestion that is a feature of the new Fourth of July celebrations. In all of the former celebrations held in Anaconda the most patriotic organizations of the city were those of the adopted citizens, who invar- iably carried away the honors of the day by their showing.

The new idea is that each nation represented in the citizenship of the city prepare a float emblematic of their native land, historical or characteristic, and make an appearance in the big show. It will be a very pretty and interesting sight, and there is p'enty of time yet to work out the designs. CHILDREN'S DAY AT WASHOE PARK Hosts of Tots Visit Resort as Guest of Management.

They are intent on the work of the moment and are perhaps giving very little thought to the many possible conditions quite the opposite of health, plenty and happiness which may face them or those dependent upon them. There is always the possibility of loss of position, possibility of accident, sickness or other conditions that may decrease the amount received or stop it altogether. The same reasonable course for all who receive salaries is to put aside regularly a fixed percentage of the salary.

This properly invested will protect the possessor in the hour of adversity and save him from the bitterness of learning the value of money through having none when he needs it most. Four per cent on savings. Ask for a booklet. State Savings Bank Butte, Mont. 1 Established ISii Incorporated 1691.

LIGHTNING STRIKES KELLIHER BLOCK BUT NOBODY IS INJURED Special to The Inter Anaconda, June 14. Lightning struck the Kelliher block at 521 East Third street yesterday evening at 5:45 and tore down a portion of the corner of the building, put the light and telephone wiring out of commission, grooved furrows the entire length of the flag pole and shattered bricks into atoms and yet not a single person of the many who were in the building at the time was injured. The mud was plowed up near the gutte as a finish of the wild career of the lightning streak, which struck with a report that was heard for blocks around. Fred Hillyard, an electrician, said the bolt encircled the flag pole and ran down like a corkscrew in a solid ribbon of fire. The young son of Mr.

and Mrs. Jerry Rannis was thrown from a horse but pluckily remounted and rode away. W. M. Dougherty and Paddy Permitty narrowly escaped as they were standing near the entrance of the bolck and the bolt passed within a few feet of them in its course across the sidewalk.

"That I do not know," replied Mr. Heike, smiling. During the session Secretary Freeman of the corporation produced, in response to a summons, a minute book of the directors' meeting. Representatives Garrett and Madison were appointed a sub-committee to examine the book. Mr.

Garrett was particularly interested in getting information in regard to a Baltimore refinery. That "Dummy." Mr. Heike said he had never heard the report that control of it was gained through a loan by a "dummy," who represented the American Sugar Refining company. Secretary Freeman produced the minute books of the company, showing the outright purchase of a majority of the stock of the Baltimore refinery for $181,000. Mr.

Heike, in response to queries, said that he ''did not know" whether any sugar had been refined at the Baltimore plant after its purchase by the American company. Representative Garrett questioned Mr. Heike c'osely about the purchase and closing of the United States Sugar Refining company's plant at Camden, N. J. "It was poor'y located," said Mr.

Heike. "Yet you were willing to pay $700,000 cash for it?" "Yes, sir." He was unable to throw light on the transactions by which the American gained control of the Pennsylvania company by loaning money to its president, Adolph Segal, who -gave stock in the Pennsylvania as collateral security. The Pennsylvania, he said, was not operated after jt fell into the hands of the American. Just a Lawyer. Rep.

Madison expressed interest in statement that, there was not much discussion of business at directors' meetings. He asked if there were not other strong men on the board besides President Havemeyer, such as John E. Parsons. Mr. Heike said Mr.

Parsons was a lawyer and knew little about refining sugar. "But hasn't the American made its money out of manipulation of stock and organization of corporations, rather than out of refining sugar?" inquired Mr. Madison. Mr. Heike was not willing to agree to that nor to acknowledge that stock had been watered by the American officials.

Repeated requests for the witness to estimate the value of the company's property so as to show whether it was not overcapitalized were not complied with. A Close -Mouthed Corporation, That the American company tinder President Havemeyer's administration frowned on the giving of regarding the company, even to stockholders, was brought out by a reference to the minute books of the stockholders' meetings. Chairman Hardwick had inserted into the record as bearing on this point the following resolution adopted at the stockholders' meeting January 13, 1904: "Resolved, That any information of a general character, which the directors may see fit to make publx may be furnished to all and that no further in- $15.00 ROUND TRIP From BUTTE and ANACONDA Ticket Office 2 North Main St. F.

WILSON, D. F. P. A. North Dakota took the floor immediately after the senate assembled and vigorously opposed the measure.

Not more than a dozen republicans were in their seats, only half as many democrats were present. Comparatively few speeches are expected from senators favoring the measure. They say they do not want lo delay the vote by talking. During the progress of Mr. McCum-ber's speech he engaged in a spirited colloquy with Senator Martine of New Jersey.

Mr. McCumber was attempting to show that the American farmer had failed to receive his share of the prosperity of tha last few years. Mr. Martine's questions were intended to develop the fact that the failure was due to the protective policy, but Mr. McCumber contended that the American charge for agricultural products had been improved by conditions in other industries, due to the tariff.

"Your specious arguments and dishonest policy have failed to put bread into the mouths of the people," Mr. Mar-tine fairly shouted. "You gave us a dose of your theories in 1893," responded the North Dakotan, "and, by jingo, we don't want any more of it." FRANK G. BRIGGS SECURES DIVORCE FROM A DESERTER Frank C. Briggs, a well-known and popular barber employed at the "Fashion" barber shop, was this afternoon granted a divorce from Mary I.

"'The old agreements often were broken," said, "and in those days price cutting was a retaliation for some fancied wrong." "Since the formation of the steel trust have there been no fancied wrongs and no efforts on the part of the manufacturers to reduce prices?" "There have not," was the emphatic reply. "Manufacturers of steel today have bten brought more closely together. They are getting belter acquainted and there is more freedom of intercourse that has created a better understanding.

Everything is done openly and frankly now, whereas before each manufacturer worked separately." RECIPROCITY DEBATE. Washington, June 14. After a conference with President Taft at the White House today, Majority Leader Underwood of the house declared he thought the Root amendment to the Canadian reciprocity bill would not be adopted by the senate. "If it should be," he added, "there would be a serious hitch between the house and the senate, as the democrats in the house are pledged against it." The. president had a conference on the reciprocity bill with Senators Penrose and Smoot.

With the prospect of daily sessions beginning at noon and continuing as long as the various senators who will speak have anything to say, the senate today began the long discussion of the Canadian reciprocity bill. Senator McCumber of.
