FIGHTING THE SCALPERS.
Local Passenger Men Anxious tt
Have the Laws Enforced.

Local Passenger Men Anxious to
Have the Laws Enforced.
Local passenger agents are watching with
great curiosity the efforts Of Chicago and
Pittsburg to abolish the scalper. If the move
ment in these cities is successful measures
may be taken here to have the law against
scalpers enforced.
The mileage book is alleged to be the main
stay of the scalper in this section. If some
thing that could not be sold by the holders
could be substituted for the mileage book it
is said there would be no more scalpers out
side of the Chippewa reservation. Plugged
and forged tickets are openly sold on Third
street, but SO skillfUlly is the trickery done
that conductors are unable to detect the SWIM
die until they examine the tickets closely.
Even then the passenger cannot be punished
nor can the scalper guilty of the deception I'M
less he confesses. Tickets are not like money:
person who utters false ticket cannot be
reached by law, and if the scaper swears that
he bought the ticket as he sold 1t he can
not be punished, either.
There are laws on the Minnesota statute
books, which, If they were enforced, would
send every scalper to Jail, but the law Is
violated with impunity. The scalpers have
learned that they will not be prosecuted.
There are similar laws in Canada, but there
Anyone caught selling tickets without a
license from railway company In Canada is
promptly arrested, fined or IMPRISONED
There is no appeal from the decision of the
trial court, and the consequence Is that in
the whole length and breadth of the Canadian
dominions there is not one railway ticket
scalDer.
The Canadian Pacific at one time issued
tickets from Toronto to Manitoba points, with
a couDon attached, which entitled the original
purchaser, after thirty days stay in Mani
toba, to a return ticket to Toronto at half
fare A man one day presented a coupon at
the Office of the Canadian Pacific in Winnipeg
with a request for half-rate ticket to To-
ronto. He claimed to be the original pur-
chaser Of the ticket, but the agent was sus-
picious The man, however, answered all
questions put to him SO readily that everyth ng
appeared all right, and he was given the ticket
he desired. After he had left Winnipeg an
investigation was started and the original pur-
chaser Of the ticket was found in Winnipeg.
The agent Immediately telegraphed the cir
cumstances to the office in Toronto and the
agent there swore out a warrant for the
fraudulent holder Of the return ticket AS
soon as the latter landed In Toronto he was
arrested and taken to court where he was
fined the usual gum, and in addition a sum
equal to the full fare from Winnipeg to To-
ronto, the expenses of his arrest. In all he
had to pay $50 to get out Of his trouble Since
then no one has attempted to swindle a rail-
way in Canada.
IA scalper," said well known railroad
man yesterday, is no better than a fence.
and he should be treated as one. He conducts
an unlawful traffic and there is no reason
unless 1t be political, why the state authori-
ties should not root the scalpers out of the
state"

fect1ve While the Republican candi-
dates, who are running Independent OF
their ticket, are giving beer feasts al
ready, the regular Republican campaign
work will not open until about the time
of the opening Of the Democratic bat
teries. There is already great deal
Of literature going out, and this will be
followed by the speakers in a manner
that will press home the arguments
that are made.
This condition of affairs is not salts
factory to the grafters, who had such
good thing in the Republican campaign
last spring. The officers Of the county
Republican committee have been oblig
ed to devise ways and means of getting
in and out Of their offices without going
through the principal room, where the
lCafers congregate. There Is plenty of
open kicking amongst them, except in
the Third and Ninth wards, where in
dividual candidates are taking care Of
their own. The Fourth and Fifth ward
grating" organizations are practically
starving to death and are making life
burden to Horace Bigelow, who was
touted as a good thing, who would give
up literally. That was before the con-
vention, but Horace has frozen up for
the present, and will not give up until
he has felt the situat ton out. He feels
that he is probably going to throw
away some good money, for he appre-
ciates the fact that his election is a re-
mote prospect and he is pretty wise
for such very young man. He went
through one campaign, and his system
of lodging is to keep away from head
quarters and do his work from house
to house, avoiding, of course, the money
and beer seekers.

The projected line from Missoula to Pasco,

some very skillful engineering to build the

agement. The school has steadi-
ly grown until it stands as the
second school in the State, the
State University alone being
larger. at present the faculty
includes twelve teachers and the
enrolment last year was 343 and
this year there has been a gain
of fifteen or twenty more over
that of last year. In its course
of study and grade of work it
sulpasses any other school OF
secondary instruction in West

spring term, which begins March
8, is more encouraging than ever
before.
The new position to which
President Hutchinson was elect

while the many friends of the
president will regret his depart
