A VERY SMALL MINORITY
Pops Won't Allow Ferrell's Elk
plantations in the Record.
HAD IT STRICKEN OUT
Didn't Care for the Notoriety o. Having
Attention Called to an Illegal
Appointment Made by the
Pops on the Board.

The alleged illegal action of the ma
jority of the board of county commits
sicners in appointing a county game
and fish warden served to give fur
Their emphasis yesterday to the fact
that the democratic member of the
board, Mr.. Terrell, is a very small
minority. 1t was about Is months ago
that Commissioners Clark and Math-
ews rewarded a good popuiist, Tony
Shovelin, by appointing him warden,
although there was no need of such an
office in Silver Bow county, and none
had ever before been appointed except
for a month or two in a year. During
his entire term in office Mr.. Shovsltn
did nothing as game and fish warden
except to draw his salary of $100 q
month. He had no office or headquar
tiers and could never be found when
wanted, which, however, was seldom.
He never made report and gave no
other. evidence that the job of game
warden was not simply sinecule.
Last Monday Mr.. Shovelin resigned to
accept another county appointment,
and Thomas Curtis, who is understood
to be a partner OF Commissioners
Clark and Mathews in some mining
property, was appointed warden. The
law says a game and fish warden shall
be appointed on petition of not less
than 100 resident taxpayers of the
county, and that his salary shall not
exceed 500 month. When Mr.. Curtis
appointment was suggested, Commits
sicner Terrell objected on the ground
that the law had not BEEN complied
with and he did not consider the ap-
pointment warranted by law or by
necessity. He said he had nothing
against Mr.. Curtis personally, but for
the reasons stated he would vote
against the appointment. When the
clerk of the board read the minutes
yesterday it developed that they
showed Mr.. Ferrell's reasons for vot-
ing against Mr.. Curtis as follows:
Mr. Terrell explained that his vote
was not influenced by any personal
objection to Mr.. Curtis, but for the
reason that he did not consider the
appointment warranted under the
law" II
Chairman Clark objected to the rec
ord and Mr.. Terrell wanted to know
why. The chairman Informed him that
it had been settled before that Mr.. Fer
rell could not have his reasons for vot-
ing put in the minutes. He said it
would be a bad precedent and it would
be needless expense when it came to
publishing the minutes. This led Mr..
Terrell to suggest that if the majority
was sincere in wishing to economic
they could do so in many other ways,
in abolishing the useless office of game
warden, for instance Mr.. Moran, the
county clerk and recorder, was called
in by Mr.. Terrell and was asked in

IN THE HOUSE.
The Last Page of the Naval Bill Reached.
Price of Armor Plate.

Washington, Feb. 21.-The house
reached the last page of the naval bill
to-day and adjourned with point of
order pending against provision fixing
the price of armor plate at $545 per ton
The provision in the bill went out on
a point of order on the ground that it
was not limited to the armor to be pur-
chased with the appropriation in the
bill. whereupon it was modified to meet
this objection against it, the pont of
order pending at adjournment being
raised. Much of the time to-day was
occupied lin debating sthe amendment
offered by Mr.. Mudd, rep, Nd, appro-
priating $4,000 to complete the three
buildings authorized to be erected at
the naval academy at Annapolis. The
naval committee, with the exception of
Mr.. Cummings, Strenuously opposed
proceeding with the work of reha bilitat-
ing the naval academy until compre
hcnsive plans had been decided upon,
but the house overruled the committee
and adopted the amendment.
After consideration Of a few unim-
portant bills, Mr.. Henderson, rep,
Iowa, chairman of the committee on
Judiciary, which investigated the right
of General Wheeler of Alabama, Mr..
Robbins of Pennsylvania. Mr.. Colson of
Kentucky and Mr.. Campbell of Illinois,
who held commissions in the army, and
members who served on several COM
missions, to continue to hold their seats
in the house, formally presented the re-
port of the committee, which was in
favor of the view that the four men,
be-s who accepted military commits
sons thereby vacated their seats in the
house. The report went upon the cal
endar and Messrs. De Almond, dem,
Mo-, and Parker, rep, N. j., were given
leave to file a minority report. The
house then resumed consideration of the
naval appropriation bill.
The pending question was on the
amendment Of Mr.. Mudd to appropriate
$4,000 for the completion of the build
ings authorized to be constructed at the
naval academy by the last naval APP
preparation bill, and after a short de-
bate the amendment was adopted, Is
to SIS. When the paragra phi for the in
crease of the navy was reached. Dock
cry made a point of order against the
language providing that no proposals
for any of the vessels authorized in the
bill should be considered unless the bid
der was already in possession of an
adequate plant.
Mr.. Hopkins, rep, ILL.,, raised a point
of order against the language provid-
ing that not more than two of the bat
tleships, two armored cruisers and two
protected cruisers should be built in
one yard or by one contracting party.
Mr.. Dockery maintained that the lam
guage which he took exception to was
designated to limit competition create
monopclies and was sinister legisla ton.
Mr.. Boutelle argued that the language
did not change the existing law. Be-
sides, he insisted that no concern
should be allowed to bid for great
battleship unless it had ample facilities
for doing the work. The object was

there helping to push the matter. Ne
sotiatiOns have progressed so far with
the Great Northern that the members
of the committee are sangune Of sue

been laid before Mr.. Hill with the sane
ton of minor officials and that it only
remains for him to authorize the resto-
ration, as they call it. The Northern
Pacific delegation has been hampered
by the fact that some of the officials

made all along the line and it was ex-
planned that the hard times had made
reduction an absolute necessity. The
firemen say they have witnessed an in
crease in the volume of business hand
led by the two roads. and they believe
that the present receipts would justify
an increase of or per cent. Their
idea is to return to the old schedule in
time, but they do not want to crowd
matters so that their petitions will be
refused.

are acting independently and that their

An Injunction Granted.

Columbus Ohio. Feb 21-Judge Badger,
in the common pleas court, to-day grant
ed temporary injunction against local
ticket brokers restraining them from deal
ing in special contract tickets issued to
persons attending the various conventions
in session here. Application was made on
behalf of all tae railroads except two CEN
tering here. The railroads contended that
the tickets were sold to be used*only by
the purchasers, and that special rates
were made only in view of that fact. The
brokers held that the breach Of contract
was not on their part, and that they
should not be interfered with. The court
granted a temporary injunction, which On
this case acts as permanent as the meet

to secure the prompt construction of
the ships. Mr.. Sherman, rep, N. T.,
who was in the chair, sustained Mr..
Dockery's point of order. The chair
also sustained Mr.. Hopkins point OF
order.
Mr.. Grosvenor, rep, Ohio, uponsrhe-
half of his colleague, Mr.. BromWeH, OH
fered an amendment to name one ~
the ships authorized in the bilE3he

it's cost all contributions which might
be received. The amendment wentr14t
on a point of order.
Mr.. Hopkins reserved point of order
against the following provision attached
to the appropriation of $4,000,000 for
armor plate:
In all future contracts for afflQr
the secretary of the navy is hereby au-
thorized to procure armor for the best
obtainable quality at an average toA
not exceeding s545 ton, includinKr6-
alties." ~
Mr.. Lewis, DEM, WASH, declared
that the provision was cunningly
drawn, that it would be construed, to
mean the best armor obtainab1e ,at
s545 alone and not the best armor oh
tainable."
The chair held that the provision was
obnoxious to the rule. but indicatAd
that it would be in order if limitedfo
the appropriation in this bill and not
made general Accordingly, Mr. Bou-
telle offered an amendment so limiting
the provision. To this Mr. Hopkins
raised another point Of order, contend
ing that it also was a change of .ex-
listing law. Under the current law
$500 was fixed as the minimum price
for armor plate This proposition in
creased it to S545. Pending a decision
upon this point of order the committee
arose. An emergency bill appropriat-
ing $4,000 to meet the existing small
pox situation in the District Of ColuIn-
bia was passed.

view of the fact that 1T was his duty
to keep the records of the boards pro-
ceedings, if he would have the expla-
nation remain in the minutes. Mr.. Mo-
ran said it was his opinion that a ma
jofity of the board could order in the
minutes what it desired or strike out
anything 1t wished but he said he
wanted to consult the county attorney
as to his duties in the matter.
Commissioner Fcrrell expressed the
opinion that if tn" majority had the
right to say what shouid go on the
minutes, they could Keep everything
from them on record.
Chairman Clark however, made a
motion and put il to vote, and with
Mr.. Mathews voted in favor OF 1t. that
the explanation Of Mr.. Terrell be ex-
plunged from the records, and 1t was
done.
The commissioncrs have decided to
straighten the county road on the fiat
beyond the Recepticn road house in the
spring. A new road will be built along
the section line by the old Bell smelter

was received from Ralph a. Lewis yes

road extended over some OF his ground

improvements.
