into trades unionism and is expected to
deDounce the federation and base gen
eral fight on this point.
On the other hand the Western men
have settled aversion to Gompcrs.
The iron workers strike in San Fran
cisco, the 'longshorcmen in Boston the
steel workers in the East, all they say,
were settled to the disadvantage OF unions.
The National Civic federation is looked
upon by the Western labor leaders as n
trick. and Gompers' connection with that
organization and the settlement Of several
recent strikes on basis unfayorablc for the
men, though shattering OF compromise
are held against him.
Gompers' record otherwise is one Of pri-
vate secrecy. 1t is known that he openly
decries any attempt to injec politics into
labor unionism and that he never tells how
he votes In fact, no one but himself
knows how he votes, and he has often re-
fused political jobs on the plea that he
would not use labor as 0 stepping stone to
political preferment.
Dissension in w. L. u.
The American Federation OF Labor will
catch the Western Labor union at some
what of disadvantage because Of an al
ready warm factonal fight over the prcsi-
dency
Daniel Mcdonald, the present incun-
tent, is candidate for reelection, and
John L. Compton, local figure Of promi-
nencc will also seek the Office.
The two elements are strongly arrayed
and the outside influences gloat over the
prospect Of a division in the ranks of the
Western Labor union.
Compton is backed by Lieutenant Cover
nor ID. {. Coates and other strong powers
in Denver, while Mcdonald relies on Mon
tana and Idaho to continue him in office.
Any prospect Of internecine trouble Is
favorable to the American Federation of
Labor, and Gompers and his corps of as
sistants will not let slip an opportunity to
draw from the Western Labor union, which
is the prime object Of their visit.
The stirring times will doubtless spread
TO the State Federation of Labor, which
meets the following week at Trinidad. II.
r. Garman, president, has announced him
self out of the race for reelection, and
Casper Wright, a Western Labor union
man, is out for the office.
Neither the Western Labor union nor
the American Federation OF Labor has
been known to control this body, and the
lines will probably be defined when the
election occurs. Compers may attend this
convention.

One Man Is Being Shadowed by Detec-
tives and Deputy Sheriff Is Search
ing for Another Man-Prof. Trap
hagen Finds Certain Evidences of
Poison in His Chemical Analysis.

Mystery still surrounds the death of
James Grindrod, who, the evidence If
Professor Traphagen of Bozeman at the
inquest last night proves, was poisoned.
Coroner Johnson has been working on
the case all day, and it was expected
that some arrests would be made during
the afternoon.
One man who is known to have been
seen with Grindrod during the morning Is
among those suspected in the alleged
murder and it is not improbable that be-
fore many hours he will be behind the
bars charged with one of the most mys-
terious murders that the authorities OF
Silver Bow county have had to investi-
gate.
County Attorney Brecn refused to give
out any information this morning, and at
noon was called to Silver Bow, where he
is investigating the Williams murder.
At the sheriff's office like silence pre-
vailed. One of the deputy sheriffs is on
the trail of suspect.
May Reveal Plot.
At tonights inquest it is believed wit
nesses will be produced to show sinister
motive on the part of several people who
were not hitherto supposed to have had
any connection with the affair, and who
have been trying to ward off suspicion by
taking pretended interest in bringing
the guilty ones to justice.
Grindrod was the third member of the
Moulders union to die within a year of
poisoning. Henry Hicks and Henry Sum-
ner, members of the union, were poisoned.
Traphaaen Finds Poison.
Professor Traphagen found the poison
in the stomach as told in last evenings
dispatch to the Inter Mountain from Boze-
man.

he'd that in his investigation he had
found morphine in the stomach, kidneys

Some of the Fusion candidates evil
IDENTIFY believe that "a lie well stuck
to is as good as the truth" They are
again trying to fool the voters about
reducing taxes. Because the rate was
$3.40 in 1896 under Republican rule,
and $2.70, in 1892, under Fusion con-
troll, they pont to these figures to
prove their assertions. But the total
valuation of all property in 1896 was
only $2,163,199, and at the rate Of that
year produced $73,5S2, but in 1902
the total valuation is $4,100,000 and
at a rate of $2.70 it produces $110,700.
So it will be seen that instead of re-
ducing taxes the Fusionists have only
raised the valuations and are collect
ing so per cent more taxes than ever
before.
The official figures prove that it
takes $4,000 to run the county by
direct taxation in 1902, as against $751;
$50 in 1896, or over $4,000 more I'M
der Fusion rule than nuder Republi-
can rule. This does not take into con-
sideration the special road tax. "Fus-
ion Economy" CO, when simmered
down, is found to mean an increase of
direct taxation of over so per cent.

Judge Hepburn created a sensation
in his speech here when he explained
that the Hunt administration, in sell
ing timber lands, charged only for the
scale of the saw timber, throwing in
the timber valuable for telegraph,
telephone and electric light poles, and
like products. An experienced timber
man states that in that event the tim
Der barons have, in many instances,
secured their stumpage at not more
than 25 cents per 1000. When the
full facts come out, it will be found
that not a fraction of the graft in re-
lation to the sale of timber has yet
been told Vote the grafters out and
open the books.

Fusion Rascality.

County Attorney Graham swore
that his fellow fusion officer holders
swiped over $500 in the form Of
illegal fees. Everybody remembers
how the demo-pop sheriff, George H.
Pease, absconded with $4,000 of coun-
ty money which has never been made
good. Now, with the direct tax fund
so per cent higher than it ever was
before the hypocrisy of fusion re-
form" stands out in bold relief.

Where Is That $350O2

The county attorney of Kootenai
county, about one year ago, COM
menced a suit in the district court to
compel certain Fusion officials to dis
gorge some $500, alleged to have
been drawn from the county treasury
in the form of illegal salaries. James
Graham, county attorney, a Fusion of
fetal, and a candidate for reelection
in this campaign, swore to the allega-
ton that over $500 had been drawn
in illegal salaries. 1t has now been
nearly two years since the irregulari-
ties sworn to by the county attorney
were committed, and it does not seem
at this time that he money would
ever be returned to the county treas
ury. In justice to County Attorney
Graham it may be said that he claims
to have been baked at every turn
by the courthouse ring. Be this as it
may, it is time for a change. "Fusion
Economy" is only another name for
the rotenest kind of graft.

Want Rinq Commissioners.

An occasional good man gets mixed
up with the ring, but he does not
last long. Bush tried to practice real
economy, but they settled him in the
Democratic convention. With Bush
out of the way. the Ring hopes to be
able to handle a majority of the next
board if they succeed in electing
Fusion commissioners. That is why
some men received nominations, and
why others were turned down.

The Railroads Have Hunt.

OF all the evils charged up to Gov
ernor Hunt, his railroad policy is the
worst. a,,..ge,
When the county commissioners met
with the state board of eqal-
ization last summer and tried
to have that board, of which
Governor Hunt is a member, raise the
valuation of railroads so they would
have to bear a more just share of the
burdens of taxation, the governor not
duced, and had the board pass, a reso-
luton recommending that the next
legislature pass a law taxing railroads
in their gross earnings. Such a law
would bankrupt Kootenai county. The
gross earnings in Kootenai are COM
paratively nothing as regards the to-
tai of the systems. II Governor Hunt
could put that resolution into effect
the railway managers would rise up
and call him blessed.
Chairman Bush, OF this county,
pOlul6u Oul lDdl Tic ANOt INCL dSlnN
railway was worth $65,OO0 per mile,
according to the market value of the
roads stock. An assessment at the
valuation of only $4,000 per mile was
only about II IL per cent of its value
while other property was assessed al
from so to 100 per cent of its value
The commissioners from the various
counties in session at Boise asked the
Hunt administration to raise the rail
roads to about 25 per cent Of theil
value. but the governor turned deal
ear. made practically no raise, ant
offered and had his hoard pass thu
gross earnings resolution, which. al
stated. if enacted iDto law. would en-
ahle the railroads 70 get off with lit
tie or no taxes. Hunt and reform

Sinking Fund Raided!

State Auditor Jones is credited
with having stated in Pocatelio, on
Oct. 81, in the presence of witnesses,
that if the Republicans were only
onto the right figures in his Office,
Governor Hunts campaign would
completely collapse.
Well, the Republicans have been
probing into the peculiar financial
transactions of the state admins
tration, and it has just been dis
covered that the Sinking funds of
the Normal Schools, School of
Science, University Dormatory,
and Capitol, amounting to $110,-
$50, has been drawn upon and
depleted, Notwithstanding stump
speakers are claiming that state
timber had to be sold at sacrifice
to put money into these funds.
$245,O0O was appropriated by
the last legislature to carry on
this administration In addition
thereto the state realized $4,000
premium on bonds sold; $4,000
from the new license law; $4,000
from insurance; and $4,000 from
other extraordinary resources. In
addition thereto carful investiga.
ton shows that there will be de.
fciencies to the amount of at least
$4,000.
These are all record facts.
