ESPIONAGE IN TURKEY.

An example of the extent to which
espionage is carried in this country was
furnished by an incident which hap
pened to the grand viZier the other day.
Even the highest personages in Turkey
are not exempt from suspicion. Their
movements are watched and reported to
the palace by an army of spies, who
swarm in every quarter. The grand
vizier last week was driving through
the main street of Pera when carriage
came out from a cross street and nearly
collided with him. Both carriages drew
up to avoid collision, and during the
stoppage the grand vzier recognized
the occupant of the other carriage as
Rechad Effend, the sultan's brother,
who most likely will succeed to the
throne. The grand viZier very naturally
saluted him and his salute was returned
and both went on tseir way. Shortly
afterward the vizier was summoned to
the palace, where it had been reported
that he had had a meeting with the
heir to the throne. 1t took the whole
of one day to satisfy the sultan that
the meeting had been accidental and
ont premedtated and that no plot was
being hatched against his majesty

WHEN BUTTE
VAS YOUNG
DICK SPECKELLS TALKS ABOUT
OPPORTUNITIES THAT HE
OVERLOOKED.
WAS LOOKING FOR
PLACER NOT QUARTZ.
Could Have Located Copper Bonanzas
But Did Not Want Them
At That Time.

Dick speckels ought to own :. large
section of Butte and be as wealthy as
James A. Murra- and a few of the
other well fixed men here, but he is al
most as poor as the proverbial Jobs
turkey. 1t is all the same to Dick
though. for he is not worrying himself
into the grave over lost opportunities.
Speckells came to Butte from Cali
fcrnia in 1867 and built cabin on the
spot now occupied by the alley end of
the California brewery saloon. There
were only a few cabins here at that
time. He worked in the placer diggings
along Silver Bow creek a few months
and then went to Helena, where he re-
mained about ten years. In 1877 Dick
returned to Butte ana says he could
have even at that late date located the
Gagnon mine and many other good prop
critics that have since been developed
into bonanzas. but he did not believe the
ground was so rich in mineral as it has
since proved to be.
when l was here in 1867" said Dick,
in speaking of his lost chances, Il had
no idea that immense bodies of ore rest
ed beneath the surface or you bet I
would have had some of them. l had
lower Main street and when l made up
my mind to go to Helena l could not
sell it for a dollar. You see l was look
ing for placer. l went from Missouri to
California in 1853 and made a barrel or
two of money there in the placer mines,
but 1 spent it all. I turned the course of

out of the old channel. How did 1 spend
it? Eth? Why l sent some of it to my

ANSWER AND
COUNTER CLAIM
MISS BIGGERSTAFF DEMANDS
JUDGMENT FOR ALLEGED
BREACH OF CONTRACT,
DEFENDANTS IN BOTTEGO
CASE FILE AN ANSWER.
Order to Show Cause Why Lease on
Rochester Mining Property
Should Not Be Granted

Elizabeth Biggerstaff has filed in the
district court an answer and counter
claim to the suit brought against her by
Mary f. Reilly to recover judgment for
a sum of money on an alleged breach of
contract. In the body of the answer the
defendant denies all of the allegations OF
the complaint, and in the counter claim
portion of it she demands judgment
against the plaintiff for $40 damages.
Miss Hggerstaff alleges that on June
of this year she and the plaintiff etered
into a verbal contract by the terms OF
which she was employed by Miss Reilly
to sell Viavi medicine in Silver Bow,
Deer Lodge and Lewis and Clarke coun-
ties for a period of six months at sal
ary of $50 per month; that she was to
begin work at once, and on several occa-
sions between June l and December
she told the plaintiff she was ready for
business, but Mss Reilly refused to
allow her to commences; that by reason
of the refusal she has been damaged in
the sum of $54O. for which amount she
asks judgment. Pemberton & Maury are
the defendants attorneys.

might be developed to their fullest ca
paclty. This, however,, could not be
done without some traffic arrangement
with the Union Pacific and the other
connecting roads. Mr. Hill worked to
that end, and his success is an evidence
of his thorough knowledge of the poll
teal economies of the Puget sound
country.
so impressed was Mr. Hill with the
Importance of this Spokane gateway to
Puget sound millmen, and of it's ulti-
mate beneficial results to the Great
Northern as well, that he was willing to
make some concessions in order to open
UP the new field of operations to lumber
and shingles. Mr.. Hill is not looking for
immediate returns to the Great Northern,
but It is only question of time when
the returns will come.
1t is reciprocity, pure and simple. We
allow the Union Pacific to come into our
territory to secure competitive business
and in return they have opened up their
territory for the marketing of Puget
sound lumber and shingles. We have
ALSO reasoned that this new gateway, by
creating greater demand for lumber
and shingles, will have the effect of in
duclng the opening up of a new lot Of
shlngle mills along the line. 1t all means
greater producing capacity and larger
shipments to points on the Union Paci-
nc from which the Puget sound has hith-
erto been shut off. It's simple business

THE RAILROADS.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,

An opinion rendered by the Illinois su-
preme court last week in the track ele-
walton case in which Charles Katz sued
the Illinois Central railroad for damages
to his property caused by the elevation
of it's tracks is of interest
The decision says the right of way
granted the company contemplated that
the company should provide for the in
creased uses to which its tracks might
be put. These increased uses it holds
are necessary incident to and insep-
arabic from the successful operation of
the road. The decision affirms the ruling
OF the superior court in the suit
Under this grant of right of way the
court holds the company may elevate it's
tracks through populous city to meet
the growing demands and in order to in
crease the number of it's trains. The
court adds:
''The right of the road to use its right
of way for all uses and purposes con-
nected with the construction, repair
maintenance. and complete operation of
said railroad was not exhausted so soon
as surface road was built, but it is
continuous right, which will enable the
company to change it's plan of construc-
tlon and operation to meet the demands
upon 1T OF growing business and the
changes wrought by the development of
society,""
The decision is directly in line with
our contention in the track elevation
cases. sad Corporate Counsel Walker
in an interview. We have maintained
that the city has the police power to
compel the railroad companies to elevate
their tracks to provide for the exigences
created by a populous city and the grow
ing demands of the traffic of their roads.
When property-owners bought property
adjacent to railroad tracks they did so
with the knowledge that the traffic might
and probably would. increase, and that
such increased uses" as the court
terms them, would injure the value Of
their property.
For this reason the city has assumed
liability for all damages in track-eleva-
tion ordinances. This decision supports
our position, and goes a long way to-
ward assuring us success in other track.
elevation cases."
Track elevation suits have been filed
and are in contemplation, 1T is estima ted
asking for damages amounting to $1O,-
900, 900.
Speaking of the prominence of Spo-
kane. WASH. as a gateway to the Puget
sound ports, an official of the Great
Northern says:
THE agreement entered into by the
Great Northern. Union Pacific, Oregon
Short Line and Oregon Railway & Navi-

change of business at Spokane, is re-
