Proceedings Of the Montana Con-
vention of County Assessors.
CATTLE, HORSES, SHEEP
There Was Much Debate. Over Sheep, but
1t Was Finally Agreed to Make the
Basing Value $3.50.

HELENA, March "A convention of
the county assessors or the state was
held in the courthouse here yesterday
for the purpose of comparing views as
to arrive at more equitable assesses
ment. 1t was called by the board of
equalization at the request of some of
the assessors.
The counties represented were: Cas-
cade, Choteau, Deer Lodge, Gallatin,
Granite, jefferson, Lewis and Clarke,
Madison, Meagher, Park, Ravalli, Teton,
Valley and Yellowstone.
Treasurer Wright, Attorney General
Haskell and Secretary of State Rotwitt
of state board of equalization, sat with
the assessors so as TO give their views.
Charles d Elliott, assessor of Cascade,
was chosen president and Thomas p.
Mcdonald, of Park, secretary.
The first matter taken up was the
value of stock cattle. 1t was claimed
by the west side counties and admitted
by the east side counties that cattle in
the eastern part of the state are worth
more than those in the western part.
After general interchange of views, it
was agreed that SIS should be the bas-
ing value in eastern counties and $12'in
western counties. In the western coun-
ties are included Missoula, Ravalli, Gal
latin, Flathead, Jefferson, Madison,
Granite, Beaverhead and Deer Lodge.
1t was decided to make $50 the basing
value for domestic cows all over the
state.
Horses were next taken up 1t was
found that the high average in some OF
the counties last year was due to nc
distinction being made between I'M
broken horses on the range and work
horses 1t was decided 10 use $40 as Z
basing value for upbroken range horse!
and to leave to the individual judgment
of the assessors the value sof worl
horses. This will make three classes o
horses-range, work and thoroughbred
instead of only common and thorough
bred.
Regarding sheep there was diverg
ence Of views, the suggestions rangini
from 81 TO ST. IS. Figures of sales wer
quoted ranging from so cents to 81. 10
but most of them were at public auc
ton. Ideas as to values of sheep ais
differed, the highest being SO head
Those who wanted higher assessment
pointed to the fact that range horse
and cattle were well up, even beyon
their selling price, and that shee
should stand their just proportion. j
was finally agreed 10 make the basin
value on sheep 81 so.

JUDGE JENKINS is Hostile.
Attorneys and the Court Have Heated
Argument.

Argument.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, March 2-Judge
jenkins listened today to the arguments
on the application of Chief Arthur,
Chief Sargent and the chiefs of the
other railway mems unions for the mod
ifcation of jenkins order forbidding
the Northern Pacific employees from
striking. The arguments will last all
day, and probably tomorrow. The court
room was crowded with labor people
and friends. During the argument At
torneY Harper, for the men, had hot
set-to with the court, who questioned
the attorney as TO the definition o: a
strike.
The judge said that there never was
any intention to prevent the men from
quitting. That was their legal right,
and if they wanted TO, they could stop
work singly or in a body, and go to
Texas if they wished.
That's all we want" shouted man
from the rear of tie courtroom.
Arguments before Judge Jenkins in
the Northern Pacific cases lasted all
day and will be resumed tomorrow.

A Duty Will Probably Be Imposed
on lmportations.
WILSON BILL MODIFIED
The Senate Sub Committee ON Finance
Listen to Complaints and Many
Changes are Promised.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-The demo
mittee continued work on the Wilson
bill, but did not make such progress as
TO Justify the chairman In calling a
meeting of the full committee for Mon
day. There is little room to doubt that
the committee has virtually decided
upon duty upon coal, iron oar, lead
ore and many other articles on the free
list in the Wilson bill, but the commit
tee refuse TO make an official announce
ment until the bill is presented as
whole. Among the other articles on
which rates of duty have been decided
upon are wines, fruits and nuts. I'M
portant changes are also made in the
fruit schedule. Practically all the
dried fruits has been put on the same
footing as raisins, upon which a duty
of IA per pound is taxed by the Wilson
bill. AS amended by the senate com
mittee it will raise zante currants, figs
and prunes to this level.
Advocates of the duty on lead ore
have been assured by the members of
the committee that duty of 4 of a
cent pound will be fixed on that
article, that is just half of the rate of
Mckinley tariff. The Wilson bill made
it practically free. 1t is stated upon
the same authority that the provisions
in the bill which are Objectionable
to lead ore men, which let in Mexican
lead ore free when mixed with silver
and ore more valuable for silver than
lead, will be stricken out. 1t is learned
from the same source that lead pro-
ducts will remain as fixed by the house
bill. Unless the committee should
change its decision, coal ard iron ore
viii be given duty of 40 cents a ton
prunes and currants duty of ~ cents
2 pound.

A sensation in the Roster Case.

MADISON, Wis, March IA sensation
was sprung in the roster case this morn
Ing when Attorney Oun presented an
afidavit from four university students
boarding at the hotel where the jury is
stopping, to the effect that they over
heard Juror Reinard Reible, hitherto
substantial and respected farmer, in
conversation, express decided convic-
tions as to the guilt or innocence of
accused. This was before any evidence

heard all over. The court also APP

 Hartford. Sept. ia.-The grand ratifi- cation meeting under the auspices of the Mckinley club of this city was held this evening in the Foot Guard armory. There were many present. notwith- standing the stormy weather. It was proposed to. have a street parade to- night, but the condition of the weather prevented this part of the program be- ing carried into execution. and all the celebration was held at the armory.
 John Addison Porter of this city pre- sided, and soon after the meeting open ed, Mir. Coffin, the candidate for gover- nor entered the hall with Judge Will Ham T. Elmer of Middletown.

Porter at the opening of the meeting made a short speech, in which he referred to the contest os the several aspirants for the nomination in the convention to-day. Among other things Mir. Porter said that there was no friction left after to-day's convention In the republican party in the state, as was shown In letter which he had re- ceived from Colonel Frank W. Cheney, one of the candidates who had failed in securing the nomination, and by an other letter which had been received by Mir Coffin from General Merwin, congrat atulating the former on his suc- cess in securing the republican nomina- ton. MT. Porter went on to say that this would not be a democratic year and that Benedict and Staub would not get the honors in this state. The letter from Colonel Cheney to MT. Coffin was then read by Mir. Porter. It was as fol- lows: "The convention over, congrat- ulate the republicans on nominating such good candidates. To an outsider the contest over the nomination would appear like big fight or an intercol- legiate football contest. There were no bones broken, however, and no heart burns remain"
 The reading of the letter drew forth a great deal of enthusiasm and Colonel Cheney was cheered
 Other addresses were made by Judge William T. Elmer of Middletown and by other prominent republicans.
