HAS RESIGNED
OLD CLUB OFFICIALLY LEAVES
NORTHWEST LEAGUE,
.hitemore Says He Has Reconsider
cred His Determination to Stand
by Northwestern League.

Portland, Ore, Dec. 23.-The Port
land Baseball club tonight rendered
it's resignation to the Pacific North.
west league. The Portland Baseball
association recently incorporated will
take over the Portland BASEBALL club
and will then join the Pacific Coast
league, which will be composed of
San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles,
Sacramento, Portland and Seattle. c.
A. Whitemore, president of the Port
land Baseball club, who returned
home yesterday, said tonight:
Before I understood the situation
here I stated that I would stand by
the Northwest league and would
stand for reelection as president of
the club, but since my return home
have decided to go with the Pacific
Coast league. l will conduct the af-
fairs of the club until the annual meet
ing in February, when l shall get out
of the baseball business"
The matter of a manager for the
Seattle team which is to join the Pa.
cific Coast league was discussed at a
meeting here tonight of Col. G.. E.
Lamping of Seattle, Henry Harris of
San Francisco, c. A. Whitemore of
Portland and others interested in the
Pacific Coast league. It is under.
stood that a well-known manager
from an eastern city has been in com
munication for several days with the

SUSPENSE THE LOT OF RECENT
CANDIDATES.
CLOSE SHAVE EITHER WAY
Only Official Count Will Remove I'm
certainty as to Result of
Saturdays Vote.
From Tuesdays Daily Gazette.

The two candidates who were be-
fore the people last Saturday at the
special election for member of the
legislature are still drifting about on
the sea of uncertainty and neither
one will know his fate until the board
of county commissioners canvass the
returns and make public the official
result.
1t was claimed yesterday by Chair
man Prickett of the republican county
central committee that the vote at
the Thomas ranch precinct gave
eight for Bever and none for Morse.
On this basis of figuring there would
hardly be a doubt of the election of
the republican candidate by at least
two votes. The information, however,
coming from Mr.. Prickett is merely
the statement of a man who came
from the n~eighborhood of the Thomas
ranch since election day and who was
not a voter in that precinct. On the
other hand Cabot Thomas, a voter in
that precinct and a resident of that
locality for years. states positively
that there were 10 votes cast in that
precinct last Saturday and there were
eight for Bever and two for Morse.
There is still a dispute as to the
number of votes cast at the Upper
Musselshell precinct. No one has
been found who knows positively
what the result there showed. One
voter who was at the polls there and
brought the returns to the railway
for mailing to the county clerk, did
not remember the exact number Of
votes cast, but was positive that it
was either Is or 10 and that Bever,
the republican candidate, received one
vote. If the former was the number
then the figures on the face of the
returns make the total vote in the
county a tie. If, on the other hand,
there were only 10 votes cast at Up
per Musselshell then it appears that
the republican candidate, by the I'M
official returns, is a winner by one
vote.
OF course, the official v of
the vote by the commissioners may
change the figures very materially in
favor of one of the other contest
ants and until the result is declared
by that body it is simply a matter of
guess as to the result of last Satur-
days special election.

DYNAMITE UNDER THE HOUSE
Building Is Wrecked, but Occupants
Escape Without Hurt.

Pittsburg, Dec. 22.-Unknown par
ties attempted to dynamite a Slavonic
boarding house at Springfield, Pa,
last evening. The building was par.
TALLY wrecked, but the IA occupants
escaped unhurt. The men were en-
ployes Of the American glue works,
and it is alleged that the motive which
inspired the throwing of the dyna-
mite was revenge, a number of the
foreigners having taken the places of
other workmen at lower wages. +,
On October 20 the big plant of the
company was destroyed by fire, en-
failing a loss of 500, 900, and on the
following Friday a smaller plant,
which had been opened after the de-
struction of the large factory, was
burned. The fires are believed to have
been of incendiary origin, and the
same perpetrators are suspected of be-
ing responsible for last nights eX-
plosion.

ON TRANSFERRED ACCOUNT.
James j. Mccormick Suing to Re-
v an Old Bill.
From Tuesdays Daily Gazette.

FTo1H luGSudy , Ddlly IaASClG.
Until the very last day allowed I'M
der the law did James J. Mccormick
wait before filing a suit against Harry
Scoville and Fred Batcheller, co-part-
ners, doing business at Joliet, Carbon
county, for the enforced collection of
a debt he alleges is due him through
a transfer of an account. The neces-
sary complaint was filed last evening
by H. G. Crippen, plaintiffs attorney.
In his complaint plaintiff alleges
that December 20, 1899, defendants
were indebted to the Paul Mccormick
company, a corporation doing bust
less in this city, in the sum of ST.
245.27 for goods and wares sold to
them at their special instance and
request between July /, 1895 and
March 10, 1899. December %, 1899,
he continues, they paid $500 on the
account, leaving a balance of $945.27;
that thereafter the account, together
with the accrued interest, was trans
ferred to him by the Paul Mccormick
company. He furthermore charges
that when the Indebtedness was con-
tracted by the defendants they agreed
to pay interest at the rate of 1 per
cent per month on all accounts owed
by them to the company so long as
they remained unpaid.
There is now due, he claims, the
sum of $945.27, together with interest
at the rate alleged, since December
%, 1899, for which full amount he
demands judgment and costs of ac-
ton. ....

An Irrigation Code.
There is urgent need for all irri-
cation code and administration of it
that will produce the greatest good
to the greatest number To accom-
plish that the code should:
Make the water of all natural
streams, springs, lakes, ponds or 9th
er sources within the state boundar-
les the property of the state, subject
to all existing rights to the use there
of, and vest its control in the state.
Permit this water to be obtained
by companies or individuals or the
national government for use on COM
pliance with the provisions of the law.
Prevent speculative filing on water
hereafter and make void all such past
filings; i. e., must restrict rights to
a beneficial use of the water appro-
priated.
Give the individual or company
acquiring water for irrigation or other
purposes a clear and indisputable
title to such water.
protect the holders of these rights
in the exercise of such rights, by the
assistance of a state department.
Require disputes or complaints re-
garding the diversion or use of water
to be referred to and settled by state
officials charged with the administra-
ton of the irrigation code.
Prevent water waste and encour-
age it's economical USE"
Offers a Remedy.
Mr.. Ray has prepared for the con-
federation of the legislature a bill be-
lieved to be calculated to cure many
of the defects in the states irrigation
laws. The law proposed embodies
mostly the Wyoming law, the irriga-
ton law recently recommended by
the California commission, and some
provisions from the Northwest Terri
tory's code. 1t is the general purpose
of the bill to foster every legitimate
effort to increase the irrigated area,
to confine appropriations to beneficial
uses, check wastefulness, guard the
rights of the national government and
of the state, of individuals and cor
po%rations, ascertain and record thu
rights and create a board to admin
lister the law.
One portion of the bill was framed
to amend the state arid land grant
commission law. "Seven years. trial"
Mr.. Ray says, 'has shown defects H.
the law, and the work which it in
tends that commission to do can, 1
believe, be more effectually and cheap
ly done under the proposed law.
"The cost entailed by the proposed
irrigation code will not be an addi-
tional burden on Taxpayers; it in
wolves only a wiser expenditure of
sums now largely wasted; it will be
a saving"

JUST FOR
Friends of the Candidates Offer a
Friendly Suggestion.

From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
Up to the hour of going to press
no returns had been received Of
f1cially from the Musselshell precinct
showing the result of the special cleo
ton, and in consequence the board of
commissioners will do nothing until
after Christmas in the matter of can
vassing the returns.
Both Morse and Bever, the two can-
didates for the legislature, will re-
main on the anxious seat a few days
longer, each hoping that Santa Claus
in the goodness of his heart will treat
him kindly and remember that his
trials and troubles, especially those
OF a political nature, have been many
during the past few months.
By way of depression and to relieve
their anxiety during Christmas day,
friends of the contestants have sug-
gested that a mock legislature be
convened in one of the public halls i n
the city tomorrow night to give the
gentlemen a little taste of legislative
life, as it is feared that a seat in a
real legislature for either one of them
is a matter of grave doubt.
To set the ball rolling in the direc.
ton of getting up a mock legislature
the Honorable join D. Losekamp
who has had actual experience in
serving his county in the lower house
at Helena, has consented to act as
speaker of the house and will be in
favor of the adoption of a set of rules
which will permit Morse and Bever
to do all the talking. Mr.. Losekamp
would recommend the introduction OF
a bill to abolish slot machines, the
two contestants for a real seal in the
legislature to agree between them.

in the debate.
