And now, the motives for these false
statements. II is plain tale, with no tar

past certain enterprisina gentlemen have
been working on the proposition to con.
struct a system OF electric railways to the
reighboring camps. The enterprise is
not yet assured, but 1t is progressing
The American has "whooped II up" for
this proposition in general way, when
no good could be accomplished, but has
never failed to throw an obstacle in its
way when opportunity offered. To be
specific, when franchises through the
streets Of Sumpter have been asked for, II
has urged that such franchises should be

1t was bought for that purpose and has
been run on that line for more than year.
1t was on this account that THE MINER
people were induced to come IN here and
establish this paper. Editor Young said
to the writer on his first trip here: "The
substantial men Of this district don't want
a boom, and we are not going to have
one" Shortly after the last state elec.
ton the American crowd started In to
make up ticket tor the coming municipal
election. Tom McEWen was about the
fourth man urged TO run for mayor. He
would have declined had not other IN.
fuenees pulled IN the same direction.
About month since, James Newlands,
secretary OF the Sumpter Transportation
company, solicited the support Of THE
MINER iof Mr.. MtEwen In his candidacy
tor mayor, stating that he feared Mr..
Robbins would favor the granting OF fran.
,hises tor railways through the streets OF
Sumptcr. Believing that this tear on the
par, OF Mr. Newlands was well founded
is why this paper supports Mr.. Robbins
for mayor.

''Sportsmen going into Wisconsin

visions of the law governing non-resi-
dents, and thus save themselves the
annoyance and loss of fish or game,
such as has been the experience OF
several parties lately. The law
was enacted not to be eyaded,
but to be observed, and the war

tive in detecting violations. 1t is
unlawful for any nonresident to kill
any of the animals, fowls or birds

of the state as his personal luggage,

of the state more than 20 pounds of
fish, or two fish, but he must ac-
