MIR. CLARK AND MARCUS DAILY.
ELI Perkins Says There Will be Fun
In Montana.
Ell Perkins In New York Sun: There
is fun brewing over here in Montana.
Yesterday had the pleasure Of riding
on the Northern Pacific from Butte to
Anaconda with Marcus Daily. Marcus
and Senator Clark are nelghbors in An
aconda. They nre both Democrats, and
both rich and powerful lions. but each
wants the other to be a lamb. One must
be swallowed before peace can come to
Montana.
The newly elected senator, Clark, Is
flfty-millionaire, while Mr.. Daily is a
Observation-Disclosures. Mr.. Daily said:
Clark IS nice man, but he hasn't got
seat in the senate yet" Then Mr.. Daily
looked out of the window at the great
cherublm OF smoke that lowered over
the Anaconda copper smelters. MAY
be-" continued Marcus, at may turn out
a second Pomeroy Grimes case, such as
they had in Kansas. That would be
sad"
Montana. with Its thousands OF min
ers, Is Democratic. so when Daily and
Clark pulled the Democratic senators
apart some Republicans had to be won
over. They were sound Republicans
and were sworn to stand for the tariff
| on Montana wool, and It took a good
deal OF influence TO get them to vote for
Mr.. Clark. Then when the Republi-
cans were being Influenced by large
sums of money some Democrats became
weak and wanted to be influenced. too.
| a hundred thousand dollars changes
hanas. but no one seems to have any
| affldavits yet to show who got it.
| AT Big Timber the Republicans burn
ed their Republican senator, w. w.
Beaslev. in elligy and painted ''brIbe ia
ker" on his forehead and traitor to
his party" on his trousers.
Mr.. Beasley was displeased at this,
and now some OF his townsmen are In
dicted and are to be tried for libel and
letters and attidavits are flying in the
| wind. Butte has become 4 babel of
discussion and Anaconda is all torn
up. Men run out from the roulette ia
bles and scream against treason and
bribery In the street. Even the drums
OF the Salvation Army have been 81
fenced by the babelonian shrieks OF
Danes. Swedes, Cornlshmen and Irish
for and against bribery and corruption.
Marcus DAILY Is silent himself. but i'd
mits that III men sold out for money
more money will make them tell the
truth"
Mr.. DAILY Is q kind -hearted man who
came up from miners dinner pail. and
the Toys all like him. while Mr.. Clark
Is much respected as @ great scholastic
man. He kept country store, and,
once. when the whole country was COW
cred with snow and q long blockade
had stopped the railroads. he bought UP
all the baking powder In Butte and
Anaconda. 1t became scarce. Miners
traded gold dust for baking powder,
and Clark made $4,000.
With this he went to Boston and
heard some mine brokers talking abou:
a rich copper mine II Arizona which
could be had for 100000. Clark started
for Arizona. had every foot OF the mine
assayed. found Il ftty times as rich as
Boston thought 1t to be and bought It
on the spot. These Arizona copper mines
are worth s500Q0.000 now.
The difference between Mr.. Daily and
Mr.. Clark occurred this way:
A poor miner in Anaconda owned
water right Water rights are valuable
in smelling copper and silver. The MI
ner wanted to sell it and called on Mr..
Daily, who really needed 1t.
| at don't think 7 u,pt ~ =" ,,i1 W.
DAILY. 'tut I'll accommodate you II you
| let 1t go cheap enough"
We'll. $1,000" said the miner. How
Will that do?"
Too MUCH said Mr.. DAILY. who as n
sportsman was doinG a little "bluhing."
Come and See me later"
The next day the miner saw Mr.
Clark, who. knowing how valuable the
water right was TO Daily, asked him the
price. When he found 1t was a thou-
sand dollars he handed the man n check
aud smiled 30 himself rs he lit cigar
and thought or Brother Daily.
! a month after this Mr.. Clark said to
! Mr.. DAILY. Marcus. you ought TO have
that Higgins water right. You need
It."
I'm have 1t soon" said Daily. I'm
dealing with Higgins now"
But l have IT," said Clark. 1.-THE
man was poor and wanted thousand
and took IT.
What. You got H." exclaimed Daly,
"and you'll sell It to me?"
Eyes, You need It more than l."
"And Tor how much?"
"Oh. sl50.O00r'
| Mr. Daily drew long breath. but paid
the $4,000 for the water right.
