How A Parsonage Was Painted!
To the E litor of the Dispatch:


Last spring Rev. S. G. Ballentine,
pastor of Bethel charge, assisted by
a few laymen, distributed a number
of nickles among the children of tie
different Sunday schools of the
charge with the understanding that
the proceeds be applied to raising a
fund to paint the Lutheran parson-
age at White Rock, S. G. To the
surprise Of all the sum thus raised
was nearly sufficient to buy all the
material. Mr.. G. G.. Miller, aprofes-
sional painter of Columbia, S G,
kindly offered his services to super
intend the painting, free Of charge.
Work was started about ten days
ago and now We have as nice q par
sonage as can be found in the coun-
try anywhere. 10 appreciation Of
this kindness Of Mr.. Miller, the pint
council of the charge, at a regular
meeting held March 81, 1900, unan-
imously passed the following reso'u-
tons:
LIST. That the hearty thanks of this
body is hereby extended to Mr.. G. G.
Miller for his kindness in superintend
ing the painting free of charge.
2ld. That a copy of these resolu-
tons be presented to Mr.. G. G. Miller,
and also to the county papers for publ
cation. W. J. Ballentine,
Secretary Joint Council.

VOTE FOR OLIVER,

To the democrats of Kalispell: An
effort will be made at the last mo-
ment by the friends of Mr.. Logan to
secure your support for the reason
that he is resident of kalispell, and
your candidate, r. l.. Oliver is a res
ident of Columbia Falls.
You want to remember that
when Mr.. Logan turned his
back on silver and every
principle that you hold to be right, he
could not leave the populist party
without doing all he could to disrupt
the organization in Flathead county
and throw the party into the hands
OF it's old enemy, the republican par.
ty. 1t is true that his influence did
not count for much for it was too
generally known that the men who
deserted the republican party in it's
Lour of need, who always pleaced self
aggrandizment above party, and who
was never true to his friends. would
desert the populist party, too. when If
became weak. Remember, too. that
he could not join the republican party
without slandering The democratic
party.
The best element in the republican
party have no use for this political
acrobat, and he is now trying to Sc
cure enough democratic votes in Kalis-
pell to elect him.
r. l.. Oliver, the democratic candi.
date is young man of sterling in
tegrity and unquestioned ability. When
the war with Spain broke out he Of
fered his services to his country and
served during the Santiago campaign.
His record as soldier was an honor
able one and he did his full duty
But it is not for this that he asks YOUR
support. ...-
The democrats of Flathead county |
owe it to him for the loyal work he
has uone for his friends on the coun-
ty ticket during the campaign, good
citizens of all parties owe him their
support because he is a man of nm
swerving honesty, who stands by his
friends ana his principles.

The people of Flathead county have
not forgotten the Great Northern
school tax case in which Judge Smith
did all in his power to compel the rail
road company to pay it's Just share of
the school taxes; which taxes. by a
technically presented in the supreme
court, the Great Northern succeeded
in refusing to pay. Nearly every other
tax payer in Flathead county paid
these taxes, realizing their duty to
the schools, while the company of
which Mr.. Noffsinger is the paid and
willing attorney succeeded, through
efforts of it's attorneys, in depriving
the school children of this county of
what was their just due. How many
people of Flahead county want the
Great Northern Railway Company's
attorney for Judge? Certainly not
those who want a Judge not con-
trolled by corporation influence.

Every democrat in Flathead coun-
ty. regardless of faction, should sun
port the candidacy of August Lagoni
for clerk and recorder. He has
proven himself worthy and compe-

and efficient clerk and recorder. Dem
ocrats, all, give your loyal support to
August Lagoni. There is no reason
in the world why he should not be cleo
ted. and every reason why he should
be elected. We bespeak for him the
support of men of all parties who real
ize that there is no politics in this
office, and that Mr. Lagoni is compe-
tent, deserving and faithful. He is
bound to be elected.

Why Heinze Wants the Courts.

f. August Heinze, who has allied
himself with w. A. Clark in Montana
politics for the purpose of getting
control of the courts has good reasons
| for desiring to have men on the bench
who will do his biuulng. Mr. Heinze
is interested in more litigation in
the courts of this judicial district of
the state than any other man or cor
poratiOn in Montana. Directly or in
directly he is interested in no less
than 100 suits. OF that number so
are pending between Mr. HeinZe, or
his company, and the Boston & Mon.
tana, Butte & Boston, Anaconda,
Parrot and " ashoe mining compan-
les. He is plaintiff in Al suits and
defendant in the others. The court
records show that the Boston &
Montana and the Butte & Boston
companies brought in all 80 actions,
auxiliary suits in the United States
courts for injunctions, so the number
brought by those companies should
be 23. The Parrot company is
plaintiff in three suits against
Heinze and his company, the Ana
conda company in but three, and the
suits against Heinze was brought to
enjoin him from mining in ground
owned by the plaintiff companies, and
to which they had a prima facie
right. On ,ne other hand every
every suit brought by Mr.. Heinze, or
persons representing him, were based
on the claim of extra lateral rights,
or his alleged right to follow veins
which he claimed apexed in his
ground, his contention involving
many strange and contradictory the
cries.
In II of his suits Mr. Heinze de-
manded damages which aggregate$13,
S24,3S0. The total amount of dam
ages demanded from him for trespass
is $1,640.0O0 which is involved in
the suits brought against him by the
Boston & Montana and the Butte &
Boston.
Every suit brought against Heinze
involves property owned by the |
plaintiffs before there had been any
thought of litigation with him.
Many of the suits brought by him are
on alleged causes of action which he |
has purchased or otherwise ac-
qured since the first actions were
brought against him by the Boston |
companies for trespass, and have |
been instituted by him apparently |
only as retaliatory measures, and in |
endeavors to annoy and harass thin
for trying to protect their properties. |
This is shown by the famous Copper
Trust suit brought against the Ana
conda company and in which Judge |
Clancy granted him temporary in
junction which threatened to close IN
practically all the Anaconda prom
critics, the Copper trust being an alleg.
ed location without surface ground
and covering great portion of the
Anaconda. st. Lawrence and other
mines.
Only two of the many suits brought
nave been tried. One is the Michael
Dewitt, in the United States court
which is now pending on a motion for
new trial, and the big Pennsylvania
case which was tried before Judge
Clancy and decided in favor of Mr..
Heinze, the Judge having refused in
the case to allow jury to try the
facts.

BEWARE OF THE ROORBAcK.

The roorback is defined by the Stan.
dard dictionary is "a lie or fictitious
report Tor political purposes just be,
fore an election. The word origin.
ated from certain political story
circulated in 1874 as an extract from
a fictitious work, Baron Roorback' S
Tour Through the Western anu Sou.
ern States" The roorback is usually
sprung when it is too late for de-
NAL. The Clarkites are adopts at
that sort of work, and the intelligent
voter will not hesitate to discount all
sensational stories which may be
sprung from now on.

The Clarkite desertion of Messrs.
TfDwn and Fitzpatrick for the pur-
pose of throwing all the strength to
Long, is eloquent testimony to the
strength of the Independent Demo

another, and they are not trading any
of their candidates. They are making
a strong pull and pull together and
they are going to win hands down.
