COMMISSION. MI. w - ~ l'1i''''1 VI
Missoula was to be appointed super
intendent of construction to look
after this part of the programme.
Many social and business confer
cnccs we're held between Mr.. Mann
and members of the commission. \
trip to the National park was taken
by Mr.. Mann and some Of the parties
Interested, and in the pure air Of the
nations wonderland, the mirage OF
Montana's capitol as designed by Mr..
Mann was seen by the commission.
and the deal was closed at figures
somewhat more advantageous to the
commissioners. So far as carried
out, the scheme worked all right,
but in the end, Mcssrs. Cole and
| Bickford must have met disaster,
for while they were working the pco-
pie Of Montana, Mr.. George r. Mann
was working them. The building
planned to cost one million dollars
land which they had agreed to cut
lotel,n to $3.50, 900, would have cost
rdevcral times this amount, and Mr..
Mann's contract would have compcll-
ed the state to pay him four per cent
on the entire cost.
The warrants drawn to pay Mr..
Mann So, 500 were issued in fraud
of the people Of the state, and should
not be recognized as q valid claim
against the capitol building fund.
The balance Of SO, 900 claimed by Mr..
Mann should not be paid, as the con
tract was secured by fraud, and is
invalid for the reason that it does
not reserve to the capitol commits
sion the right to annul the contract
or discharge the architect, as re-
quircd by sections 2446 and 2447 OF
the political code.
There is no evidence to connect
Commissioners Lloyd and Flowcrrec
with any OF the crooked transactions
and Gov Richards connection seems
to have been because his judgement
was badly warped or entirely con-
sumcd by his political ambitions.
After the regular meeting Of the
capitol commission held on Jan. |;
last, another meeting OF certain
members Of the commission was hclt
in DR.. Coles office, to which Coy
ernor Smith was not invited. Al
this meeting ways aud means Of Sc
curing the retention Of the present
commission in Office and the erection
Of a million-dollar building was dis
cusscd. 1t was decided to let Gov
ernor Smith in on the steal, If h(
would accept, and his shair was 1iXee
at S25, 900.
IT the business Of the state is to b.
left in the hands of these unconscion
able scoundrcls, a receiver might i:

charge Of the affairs OF the state.
Dr. Cole and W. NJ. Bickford, tn
commissioners particularly mention
cd as being requent to their trust
, emphatically deny the allegations .

South Sea Pilgrims.

San Francisco, Feb. 25.-The brig
Percy Edwards cleared today for
Tahiti, and on her goes the United
Brotherhood Of the South Sea Islands.
The brig goes to Tahiti and from
that port will sail wherever the fancy.
OF those on board dictates. The OK
pedition was brought about by the
publication in a local paper of a story
to the effect that On St. Johns island
in the South Seas we're a number Of
dusky women who were pining for
husbands. All the men have been
killed in war and the women are
lonely. A company was organized
in this city to go to the relief of the
dusky damscls and on board the Ed
wards are 81 men who sigh for the
tropical cline and the easy life in
the South Seas. 1t has since devcl-
oped that the Adanlcss Eden story
was myth, but the company organ
lied here determined to go some
place. Each man contributed SlO0
to common fund. The old whaling
brig Edwards was bought and pro-
yisioncd and this expedition started.

SurrcEucrS the Option.

salt Lake, Feb. 25.-Captain De
Lamcr has surrendered the option
held on the Mcrc>lr mine in Utah
and has forfeited $25, 500 deposited
for the same. lie claims the owners
refused to make certain concessions
asked for. Captain De Lamcr has
also decided to close down the great
De Lamar mines of Nevada and to
suspend the operation of the mills
on March |. This action, he says,
was taken on account Of strong indi-
cations that Il strike WAS brewing
among the 600 employees at the
mines. The mines will be closed for
an indefinite period.

DAMON ASSEMBLY.

The ninth anniversary of Damon as
sembly was celebrated Saturday evening
in very interesting manner. Over
100 enthusiastic sisters were present.
From to O'Clock fine supper was
served in the banquet hall. The evening S
entertainment consisted of the exempli-
fication of the work by the degree staff.
1t was the first display of the staff before
the assembly and, arrayed in their new
pbaraphenalia, they presented fine ap-
pearance and performed their work in a
way which indicated careful teaching
and much hard work. The universal YER.
dict of all present was that the degree
was beautifully exemplified and words of
praise were audible throughout the en-
tire assembly.

Bion Wilson of Portland, the expert who
