GAME PRESERVES.

The announcement that move
ment is on foot in the national CAPT
tai to have all of the forest reserves
converted into game preserves is not
surprising to those who have been
watching the course of events. There
is a set of effete snobs and carpet
knights in the east, and especially in
Washington, who imagine that all the
west is fit for is to be used as game
preserve for their benefit.
The matter will no doubt be easily
accomplished, as no legislation will be
necessary. All that will be needed
will be an order from the secretary
forbidding people to travel over or
hunt upon the reserves. The people
who have braved the hardships of the
frontier are largely responsible for
the immense wealth that has been de-
veloped in the United States, and to
which all forms of progress are due,
but the march of progress is to be
stayed, and large sections of the west
are to be held as game preserves and
the people who have settled in or
near these sections must give up their
homes or live for all time without
schools or neighbors.
More than one-half the area of Fiat
head county has been set apart in
three great forest reserves, and this
vast domain which in time would
have more than doubled the wealth
of the county and thus hghtened the
burden of county government is to
remain a wilderness. Not only are
the people of the county deprived OF
the help they would naturally receive
in taxes from the development of this
part of the county, but they are
obliged to maintain roads through the
reserve lands in order to give access
to different parts of the county.
The campaign against the west was
inaugurated by Grover Cleveland, and
it has been continued by each admin.
istration since his time. The people
of this part of the county would like
to know of what benefit it is to them

A CASE OF NECESSITY.
Officials of the Great Northern Not
Looking for Trouble.

III
While full particulars have not yet
been received concerning the revised
schedule of wages agreed upon by the
st. Paul conference between Great
Northern officials and representatives
of the engineers and firemen, it is
known that a very material advance
is made in the pay of the enginemen
on the mountain divisions.
For years the crews of work trains
have been required to give II hours
of service for a day, and as it re-
quires about two hours to get their
engine out and to put it away, the
men on work trains have been put
ting in practically IA hours as a day.
When the scale of wages for engine
men on work trains was first estab-
lished it was at a time when a work
train would be sent to a gravel pit or
sand pit for two or three hours and
the work was light. Recently much of
the work has been in sporting cars,
necessitating movements of the en-
CINE about every two minutes, and

grievances were among those pre-
scented, and it is understood their pay
was increased.
The ease with which an agreement
was reached was no surprise to local
does not want any trouble with its en-
CINE men," said local engineer the
other day. Good engine men are
hard to get, as the superintendent of
the Kalispell division knows by this
time. For several months both the
cific have been compelled to hold per-
ishable freight at terminals, and all
over the country there is a scarcity of
engine men.
THE cause of this scarcity is the
big engines. The work of firing on
not stay long enough to get an en-
CINE, and firing on them now requires
so little skill that many firemen never
become competent to take an engine.
Almost anyone who can handle a
shovel can now fire one of the big en-
gines, but it takes more than muscle
to make an engineer. The big engines
have been killing off the good firemen
and that accounts for the scarcity of
engineers and the Discrimination of the
companies to have any trouble with
their engine men.
"An obnoxious superintendent on
the Kalispell division fired many of
his good engine men about a year ago,
and the company has since realized
very frequently that good engine men
are hard to get."-Great Falls Trib-

STORY OF A
LOST MINE
Rival Of the Famous Lost Cabin
in This County.
DIBD BEFORE TELLING
Discovered IN the Mountains on the North
Fork, But Finder Carried Secret to
His Grave.

Jimmy Furlong, an old miner and
prospector on the middle fork of the
Flathead river, with headquarters at
Java, has made what promises to be
rich discovery in copper. The loca-
ton is about two miles from Java and
adjoins the Santiago claim, owned by
Sidney M. Logan and others of Kalis-
pell.
The discovery was made during the
fine weather of the past two weeks,
and at that time the mountains were
practically bare of snow. The vein is
four feet wide and lays in formation
of red shale, and is capped with blue
limestone, characterized by hard
black flints.
1t has all the earmarks of a true
assure vein and the pay streak is sew
eral inches wide and apparently per
manent. The ore in the streak con-
sists of a high grade of bornite, and
recent assay of this streak shows
81 1-3 per cent copper, 6 ounces of
silver and $3.50 in gold.
Extending through that section and
cutting the main range traversely,
there is an immense dixie, or, rather,
boss of granite has been traced by
various persons from the headwaters
of Big river across the summit and
down to the headwaters of Birch
creek on the east side of the range.
1t is very rough country, and some
of it's peaks rise to an altitude of
5000 feet and upward
1t was in this locanCy that the Ill
found his rich prospect, but he died
before giving the secret of its exact
location to the world.
The story of McDougald, as told
by the hunters and prospectors of
Flathead and Teton counties, is one
of much interest, colored by slight
tinge of romance.
A few years ago, so runs the story,
little syndicate of Helena and Butte
mining men QUILTED McDougald to
prospect along tho eastern shore of
the main range between the North
and South forks of Birch creek. Nc
Dougald was a practical miner, as
sayer and metallurgist, and among his
equipments he carried all of the as
saying paraphernalia necessary to en-
able him to make accurate tests of
minerals while in the mountains. He
was. withal, a conservative man, not
given to pipe dreams nor likely to
lose his head over a prospect not
having substantial merit.
Early in the summer of that year
he passed through the town of Du-
puyer and made his way up Birch
creek, stopping with friend at a
ranch for a few days to recuperate
and rest his horses before striking
into the mountains. Leaving the
ranch, he struck into the Rocky noun
tains near the forks of Birch creek,
and was not seen or heard of for sew
eral weeks.
Some weeks later he wrote to his
people that he had made a discovery
that careful assays showed that the
ore would run upward of $50 in gold
His hackers, for some reason. wanted
him to proceed to southern Montana

A Clever Wnman-

A good story is told of Mrs. William
Tod Helmuth of New York, which
shows that all her fame is not due
to her many badges and much "be-
dubbed" condition. When president
of the New York federation she pre-
sided over a stormy session one
morning, and prior to the afternoon
session she arose said: Ladies, after
we have finished with the Lords
prayer, let us silently ask that more
knowledge. and less noise be vouch-
safed for u.s."

and the bondholders brought suit.
The case was fought from court to
court, the county always losing, until
the Judgment was finally affirmed by
the supreme court of the United
States; but still the county refused
to pay and, although the judgment has
been standing for twenty years, it is
still unpaid. The three judges of the
county court refused to make the tax
levy and mandamus proceedings were
brought against them and sustained,
but still they refused. They were put
in Jail for contempt and there they re-
NAMED until their terms of office ex-
pired.
The next set of judges had SINH
lar experience, spending a large por-
ton of their time in Jail for contempt,
and so it has continued with each set
of judges up to the present time.
More than twenty years of Jail SEN
tence has been served. Only those
judges who were able to avoid serv-
ice have been able to keep out of
jail
The people have been unanimous in
their opposition to the payment of
the debt, and no man could be elected
as judge in the county who would not
pledge himself to remain in Jail dur
ing his entire term rather than levy
the tax to pay the bonds. The debt
now amounts to over $1,500,00O, and
two of the three county judges have
been in Jail since last spring. They
were captured by strategy. Two
United States deputy marshals ar
rived in town after night, and remain
ing in hiding near the court house
they captured two of the judges when
they appeared to open court on the
following morning. The third judge
escaped by mingling with the crowd.
The third judge has been unable to
transact any court business, and since
last spring the revenues of the county
have been piling up, as no salaries or
other expenses Of the county could be
paid There is now about $4,000 on
hand which tba hODdboIdorc oro +rxy
ing to seize. One of the judges who
is in Jail has offered to purge himself
of contempt by voting to levy the
tax if released. This is a scheme no
doubt to enable them to dispose of
the money that has accumulated in
the county treasury, as the other
judge would vote against the levy and
it would not be made, as it requires a
concurrence of at least two members
of the court to transact any business.
The bondholders have offered to &C
cept 100000 in per cent bonds in
full settlement of the debt, but the
people of the county have voted
unanimously against the acceptance
of the offer
The sentiment is so strong in the
county that the judge who weakens
will do so at his peril.
The case is one of the most unique
in the history of American jurispru-
dence, and it's outcome will be
watched with interest

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER.
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 8, 1902.
REPUBLICAN POLITICS.

The fight that is now being waged
between Senators Hanna and Foraker
for control of the republican machine
in Ohio is one of more than local sig
nificance. AS there is no opposition
to the reelection of Senator Foraker
by the present legislature of Ohio,
the fight for the control of that body
seems somewhat mysterious, but the
real fight is between President Roose-
welt and the republican machine I'M
der Senator Hanna.
Mr.. Hanna has again demonstrated
his power by electing his man as
speaker of the house, but the general
result may be termed drawn battle,
as the anti-Hanna forces won out in
the senate. 1t is probable that a truce
will be patched up for the time being
between the contending forces, but
unless President Roosevelt changes
his attitude toward Hanna it will only
be a question of time when hostilities
will break out afresh.
Senator Foraker has long wanted a
chance to break the power of Hanna,
and the present has seemed to be his
opportunity. President Roosevelt has
given Foraker control of federal
patronage in Ohio to the exclusion of
Senator Hanna, and the present con-
test is only the prelude to the battle
royal for the republican presidential
nomination in 1904.
In the short time that he has been
in office, Roosevelt has ignored and
turned down the old republican lead
ers until he has virtually put Hanna
machine out of business in every state
except Ohio. The president is keen
enough to know that to take the place
of the old machine he must have one
of his own, and the Ohio fight is the
result of his efforts in this direction.
Senator Foraker has openly de-
clared for Roosevelt as the republican
candidate to succeed himself as pres
ident, and however much Roosevelt
may deplore any factiOnal fight, he is
in position where he is compelled tC
take sides or have his political fu-
ture left to the tender mercies of the
Hanna machine. Roosevelt, by his err
especially in the south, where he has
appointed democrats rather than fol-
low the recommendations of the re-
publican leaders, has made for him
self many bitter enemies in his party,
and this element naturally revolves
around Senator Hanna as the sun OF
their existence, and in spite of his
disclaimers they will force him to be
a candidate for the republican presi-
Dental nomination in 1904. The south
will be solid for him, and he is al
ready receiving scores of letters from
other parts of the country pledging
support for the nomination. Hanna
is idolized by his followers, and at
the first open rupture between him.
self and the president they will rush
to his support
The sympathy of the rank and file
of the party will be with Roosevelt,
but the leaders and the trusts, who
control the sinews of war will be
with Hanna. The fight has only yet
begun and the end is not yet in sight.
The result will affect the political flu
ture of scores of prominent men and
the future history of the republican
party itself.
