company has lost its fight in Great
Britain. Mr.. Galleher is,here on a

ing much headway. against the British
manufactures. In order to get the
trade,s the American has given away
$1.500,0OO in bonuses spent millions
in advertising and has sold tobacco
at cents a pound under its cost. In
spite OF this he has been unable to
win over the British tradesmen. Mr..
Galleber refused to enter the British

Third will be glad to have the

they can, to borrow the bonds.
FOURTH desire to send no bank

present time.
Fifth do not care to have the
currency issued unless conditions
make it well nigh imperative.
Il am making no demand upon any
bank. The amount Of their circula-
ton must be determined by their d.
rectors, but inasmuch as the public
holds the secretary Of the treasury
somewhat responsible for existing
conditions, deem myself justified in
using the public funds now held by
the various banks on deposit as
think best for the public good, and,
in case Of trouble, may think best
to use these to buy increased circula-
ton, the banks now holding such
funds having preference.
Later in the day the following was
given out at the treasury department:
The New York banks are complain
ing because of the unprecedented de-
mand in the west reducing their avail
able cash. They, therefore, ask that
they be allowed to go into the market,
pay. $1,100,00O for million bonds
and receive from the treasury mil
lion deposit with the bonds. They
seem willing to do this and increase
their reserve $25O,0OO against this
increased liability. Thus the banks
would decrease their available cash
$350,O00, but they would be drawing
the interest on the bonds. Instead
of this the secretary is loaning to any
bank wherever situated upon its free
bonds. In this way the western de-
mand upon the banks will be relieved
and they will only have to protect
themselves. i

Kalispell, Sept. 1.-TWO of the
most disastrous fires that have ever
ragged in the forest of this county
are destroying millions of feet of fine
saw timbers
One fire is in the Dayton creek
country,s and the other is south and
west of Libby in a large cedar dis
trict. The fires are burning freely
and have great start. Special
Agent Berndt, of the interior depart
ment, has gone to the scene of the
fires and will arrange for large
force of men for the fighting of the
flames. The entire day has been dark
as the smoke in great clouds hangs
over the whole valley.
The Wind is low, otherwise the con-
flagration would be much greater.
From the present outlook the fires
will be the most disastrous ever
known in this, part of the state.

MoToRMAN WORKED HARD. =
Testimony in Regard to Death Of
I CRAIG.

Pittsfield, Mass, Sept. l4-Govern-
CT w. Murray Crane testified yester.
day at the inquest into the death Of
William G. Craig, the secret service
officers. His appearance was some
what in the nature of a surprise.
In his evidence the governor said
that in company with President Roose-
velt and George B. Cortelyou he was
driving on South street on the day Of
the accident and was approaching the
foot of Howard hill when he heard
the gong of the approaching car. At
the time the leading horses were on
the track and he Immediately rose to
his feet to see how close the car
was. He was dumbfounded to see
that the car was only a shcrt dis
tance away and was approaching at
a rapid speed.
The governor sould not tell just ex-
actly how the accident occurred. He
remembered nothing as to how he
was thrown, and only remembered as
slstlng the president from the car
riage.
Among the other witnesses was
Mrs. Helen H. Horton, a passenger on
the car. Mrs. Horton said the car
was running at fair speed when the
collision occurred. She sat on the
front seat directly behind the motor
man. AS the car approached the pres
ident's carriage the greater portion Of
the passengers stood up to get good
view of the occupants of the carriage.
Suddenly she heard Motorman Mad
den excdaim: ooh, my God!" He
then jumped to the brakes and work
ed she said. as she never saw man
work before.

DELEGATES ELECTED ARE.
STRONG CLARK MEN.
WAS ALL DONE QUIETLY
Democratic Primaries in City Passed
OF Without Friction or
Open Rupture.

From Mondays Daily Gazette
The democratic primaries in the
city last Saturday evening were con-
ducted quietly and without any open
rupture in the ranks, but here and
there it crops out that the boom for
Heinze to squelch Senator Clark in
the county has been bursted. Unless
the unexpected happens In the coun-
ty convention there will net be del
egate in the convention who will have
the temerity to even suggest that the
six-weeks Butte democratic leader be
given recognition Of any kind before
the assembled democrats Of the coun-
ty.
The Heinze boom in this county was
conceived in sin and iniquity. 1t was
a piece of political ingratitude in op.
position to the political interests Of
Senator Clark, which for boldness
and audacity has had no parallel in
this history of county politics. In
fact, when it is. considered how much
are the interests of the county de-
pendent upon the support Of Senator
Clark in the senate CT the United
States, in connection with the Crow
reservation bill, people wonder that
men should have the extreme gall to
attempt to defeat the, man to whom
the county looks fer the segregation
of a million acres of Indian lands.
Deserted by his party press. in the
county, and the men from whom he
had a right to expect their hearty
and most loyal support under any and
all circumstances, is it any wonder
that loyal and consistent democrats
have come to Senator Clark's aid and
effectually squashed any and all
schemes calculated to boost into po
litlcal power the one man in the state
whose sole ambition in politics is the
control of the supreme court and the
legislature of the state through which
to conduct his mining operations al
Butte?
The anti-Heinze forces in the coun-
ty at this time have buried the Heinze
boom. in political oblivion. All that
is necessary at this time is to keep
their guns we'll manned until after
the county convention and the demo-
Gratis will hear no more OF. Mr. Heinze
