No More Special School Taxes--Suryeyors

Helena, Oct. 9.-Until the legisla-
ture meets again and corrects the in
consistencies ii the law under which
the special school elections for the
purpose Of raising money for school
purposes are held. no more legal cleo
tiOns Of that kind can he held in Mon
tana, ~ a result of a decision rend-
cred by the supreme court today in
the case of Hilburn w. The Great
Northern Railway company. Hill
burn, IA county treasurer Of Flat
head, brought suit against the road
to compel payment of taxes voted at
a special school election in seven dis
tricts of Flathead county. The com
pany refused to pay, c%ontending that
the law was imperative and void
because Of Inconsistencies. The lower
court decided against the company
and an appeal was taken. The chief
justice of the supreme court today re-
versed the lowercourt and remanded
the case, in an exhaustive opinion.
The court also, in an opinion by
Pigott, upheld the law passed by the
last legislature taking from county
surveyors the duties and emoluments
Of the general supervisor of roads.
This came before the court on the
mandamus from Granite county.
County Surveyor Danyes sought To
compel the commissioners to recog-
nize him as superintendent Of roads.

How They Adance Wages.

Closely following the announcement
of an advance in the wages of the
American Steel and Wire Company
employees comes report of higher
prices for wire and wire nails made
by that concern. This latest move of
the trust was confirmed by a repre-.
sentative Of the company in an inter-
view with the Transcript, 30 it would
seem as though the public is expected
to make up for any seeming generos-
ity that the management may see fit
TO indulge in and that the dividends
are to be kept intact, regardless of
any extra cost of manufacture or gov
eminent. The new prices call for 81
per ton advance, making the cost Of
wire $1.45 per 100 pounds base at
mills, and Of wire nails $1,60 per 100.
1t was asserted at the time that the
consolidation of the different steel
and wire plants into the American
company would, by the dismissal Of
200 travelling statesmen, make a saying
OF 81, 100000 year IN salaries and
commissions Other economies we're
also outlined, through which the cost
OF production would ba materially de-
creased. The way In which the pub
lie is being benefited does not appear
The fact that while competition has
been stifled in one direction, that ex-
istent in the already overcrowded Ia.
Dor market has been increased by the
appearance in 1t of ten score capable
and Intelligent men is not pleasing to
contemplate. Again, the knowledge
that nearly every piece of carpentry
work done henceforward must cost
more than it did previous to the for
nation of the trust, and every piece
of wire fencing that is struAg must
represent larger outlay by the far
mer or landowner. While it may not
rstard building or fence making, it
will certainly not encourage them.
But it Is an obsticle to an enlarged
export business that the trust expert
ment will work the greatest injury, &C.

miliar with our export commerce.

WashingtOn's Birthday.

For some time Company II, 2nd
Regt. X. N. g., has been making ex.
tensive preparations for an observ-
ance Of Washington's birthday. When
the dav arrived the outlook was al
most as disheartening as was Wash
ington's at Valley Forge, for a bitter
snow ladened northwest wind was
bowling through the streets, AL.
outdoor parades and displays were
omitted, but the indoor program was
fully carried out. The court room
was crowded by an interested throng
OF listenere, who were treated to a
program of song and speech. The
selections were for the most part of a
patriotic nature and were well re-
Ceived by the audience. Mr. Lewis
reviewed briefly the life and public
services OF George Washington aud
made as usual very interesting half
hour talk,
AT the close Of the program an ad
journment WIS had to the opera house
where two floors were devoted to the
banquet and ball Down stars long
tables were loaded with good,things.
The tables we're stretched IN two
ranks up and down the hall, while
from slds walls looked down the
sire pmers Of red, white and blue,
while brlIlsnt lights Illuminated the
hall. The tables were filed and filed
again and still plenty remained.
AT night the opera house was filed
with dancers, sixty-six couples being
in attendance. The music furnished
by the city orchestra was most excel
lent, and did nue. towards the
crowds enjoyment, The net receipts
amounted 70 $107 90, which will leave
a neat sum in the treasury.
The company under the leadership
of Capt. Tucker is making rapid
strides toward proficiency, and the
response our citizens made to it's ap-
peal for money shows that the organ.
ization is appreciated, Had the day
been pleasant the crowd could not
have been cared for.
