AN APPErIsING CAMPAIGN.

The political situation in Montana presents many attractions to the poli- ticians for revenue only. Senator Clark and Marcus Daly, of the Anacon- da Copper mining syndicate, long rivals in the state democracy are en- gagged in battle royal. Clark has cap tured the democratic organization and Dsly will assist the republicans. Daly has recently established three morning 8aily papers which will support the republican ticket. They will be loca- ted at Butte, Helena and Great Falls. He has also purchased and started nu- nerous weekly papers throughout the state, and has inaugrated campaign on most lavish lines. Senator Clarke prodigality in spending money in politi- cal campaigns has already been demon strated. The sworn testimony and ad- missions during the recent senatorial contest established his reputation be- yond refutation. And, as he has deter mined that the people of Montana shall vindicate him regardless of cost, there is not much doubt but that there will be more money put in circulation in Montana amongst political workers and electors than has been turned loose in that state in many day. Already the affrsy is drawing many politicians and newspaper men to the state.

BRADY'S DEFENSE.

Governor Brady has made another char aeteristie, defense of his acts while in Washington last winter in opposing the recommendations of the all Alaskan con- vsntion. As in the published interviews given by the executive before leaving the states last spring he seeks in the Nome News to give a false impression of the facts of the controversy between himself snd the citizens of Southeastern Alaska.
 He asserts the cause of disagreement to be hls refusal to give Mr. Price certificate sf election, followed by the instruction of the latter to oppose everything favored by the governor.
 Such perversion of facts cannot benefit Governor Brady. It can only serve to lower him in the estimation of those who have heretofore claimed frlendshlp for him for all know there is not a single iota of truth in his assertions.
 The fact Is the quarrel between Alaska's executive and his constituents was brought sn entirely by his own vanity and selfsh- aess. The convention which convened last fall at Juneau had hardly ceased its labors when he commenced his underhanded ef- forts to undo all that had been accom- pllshed by that body. His Sitka organ openly attacked the convention and Its members.
 The trouble with Governor Brady is his desire to remain the whole thing in Alas ka. He saw In the movement which re- suited in the Juneau convention dsposi- tloR on the part of Aaskans to speak and act for themselves, and of course he op- posed 1t. He could not bear the idea of anyone speaking for Alaska at Washing lon aside from himself.
 When congress met, Governor Brady was there as soon as Mir. Price, and with cut consulting with other Alaskans he proceeded to advocate policies that have grown musty In hls own vacant cranium. He dIsregarded the expression of the fftvor sixty representative Alaskans, who had gathered from all over the district and given days and nights of unceasing labor Ia an effort to put in shape for legislative action those things experience had shown to be required for the development of the district.
 These are some of the reasons which !m- pslled mass meetings of representative cit isens Of Skagway and Juneau to pass res elutlons denounclng the chief executive of their district. They understood that it would be impossible to get satisfactory legislation unless they could break down the influence of the Brady cabal at Wash lRQton City.

Governor Brady estimates that 1t would cost 500, 900 to hold an election in Alaska and for that reason he op- posed the proposition of giving the dis srict 6 delegate in congress. It would be too bad for for the United States to Roso any expense in Alaska. It only derived a net profit of s927 900 from this district last year. ~

The city council met in regular SeS-

passed for the protection of trees in the

to cut down, injure or destroy such
trees.

and noisy nocturnal conduct of some
Water and Bridge street denizens. and
the city fathers said the matter would
be looked into.
The official bond of Pedro Delgado,
recently appointed city marshal, was
presented for approval. 1t is for the
sum of 1000. with Evaristo Lucero and
Marcelino Garcia as sureties. But a
question arose just here. The co, neil
men said the bond was all right enough,
but as Mr.. Delgado had been confined
at his home with rheumatism even since
the day of his appointment, n was YET
quite i'll, it might be necessary at no
distant day to name a new city mar

advisable to maintain the Status quo

The new bridges over the two forks
on the Rio Grande on the Bland road
are very substantial structures, includ-
ing all approaches, but to make the riv-
err crossing free of possible obstruction
by flood waters the space between them
should be filled in with piling and tres
tie work. This space is about 500 feet
across an island. A 3-foot rise, which is
likely at any time, will cut new chan
nels between the bridge structures.
