BY WAY OF EXPLANATION,
Why the City Is Collecting Poll

Special Collector Matheson is e.
%periencing some difficulty in collect
ing the city poll taxes because those
liable to them do not seem to under
stand the situation. Many refuse to
pay, saying that they will do so when
they pay their regular property taxes
to the county this fall. They seeming
ly have not been made acquainted with
the fact that the county has notified
the city that the city poll taxes are
no longer carried out on the list of
the former and that if the city wants
to collect those taxes it will have to
do so itself, thus departing from the
custom which formerly obtained.
The county will continue to collect
the poor tax as usual, and this will
be added to the property taxes, and
will also collect the poll tax outside
of the city. Because of this change
the city has undertaken to collect its
part of the poll tax at this time and
those who refuse to pay will be oblig
ed to work cut the amount of theil
dues on the streets.

A DISAGREEMENT.

TowepS warrins Appearance Of New
~ City Hall.
HFrofD Fridays Daily Gazette.
- Mucn to the regret Of everybody
who has been watching the progress
Of the new city hall the appearance Of
that really beautiful structure is be-
ing married beyond repair by carry
ing out an after-thought of the build
ing committee. This consists Of the
erection of a low, squatty tower on
the fire station for the accommoda-
ton of the bell, which, with the main
tower and the one for hose drying
makes the building look like a brew
cry or refrigerating plant.
1t may be really necessary, this ad-
ditional warty-like structure, say
those who have been heard to express
themselves concerning the matter,
but in their opinion the bell could be
hung in the main tower and be Just
as easy of C as in the place now
being provided for it's reception. Any
thing would be better than the thing
that is being done they say, as ap-
pearance is something always consid-
cred in connection with public build
ing. The aldermen responsible for
the ~excresence, however, seem to be
actuated by u%tilitarian rather than
esthetic motives and despite their
critics the thing evidently has come
to stay. re-

In all probability the wool season
in this part Of the state will again
pass without any action being taken
in the matter of establishing at some
central point a wooden manufacturing
plant. There is a lack OF interest
in the subject; leadership seems to
be lacking and until the business men
themselves take up the question moth
ing will be accomplished.
For a year or more past there has
been more or less complaint in com
mercial circles that business in the
city has fallen off, as compared with
former years, and the cause is attrib-
uted to the building of one or more
branch lines of railway in the eastern
part of the state, which has had much
to do with bringing about this condi-
ton of affairs. 1t should not be ex-
pected that the producers of wool
should take the initiative in a matter
of this kind. The people who would
in a large measure be benefited by the
establishment of manufacturing en-
terprises in the community are the
men engaged in business in the i'm
mediate vicinity where such estab-
lishments are erected. It is the pay
roll which in a large degree builds up
cities and causes them to enjoy a
continuous season of prosperity. With
out a payroll no city the size of Bill
ings a hope to keep forging ahead
and the limit of the demand for resi-
dence and business property must in
time be reached.
A good illustration of what the man.
ufacture of wooden goods has done
in a section where wool is king is
had at Pendleton, Ore. There the
growers this year found a market
for 100000 pounds of 1eeces at top
prices. Oregon has become noted
throughout the country for this line
OF manufacture and wooden goods
from Oregon mills are found on sale
in every city and hamlet in Mon
tana where the business men depend
largely on the trade of sheep owners
to make their establishments profit
able.
The opportunity to expand by build
ing up manufacture in a city like Bill
ingS is either not comDrehended nv
the community, or else it must be ad-
mitted that those whose interests are
directly affected by the lack of
manufacture deliberately ignore a mat
ter which concerns them more vitality
than it does those who produce the
raw material.

Several bullet wounds appeared on

having penetrated the entire body
breaking out at the back.
The man carried two revolvers and

SIN Fridays Daily Gazette.

~ Although still a considerable way
from being ended, the wool season
has progressed far enough to make it
possible to estimate with some degree
of accuracy the aggregate of the staple
marketed in the state. From reports
sent cut from the lesser markets,
such as Big Timber, Miles City,
Glendive, Malta, Glasgow, Harlem,
Culbertson, Fort Benton and the ship
ping points on the west side it is
learned that the combined output, out
side of Billings and Great Falls is
about 10000, 900 pounds. Great Falls
estimates that it will forward about
l. 100000 pounds and credits Billings
with the same amount, which would
make the grand total of the state a.
200, 900 pounds. These figures, how
ever, are subject to revision. espec-
tally in the case of Billings. Where
as it seemed a short time ago that the
exports from this market would not
exceed 1000, 900 pounds, every indi-
cation points to a marked increase
over that amount.
Competent judges now are of the
opinion that the shipments from this
city will not be less than 13, 1000, 900
pounds.
Taking the figures compiled at
Great Falls and averaging the prices
paid at the various markets of the
state, the total amount paid out for
wool Ill Montana this season will be
$4,000 an average of Is cents a
pound for all wool sold, considerably
more than was ever before received
for a seasons clip.
OF course, it should not be taken
that the figures given are absolute
ly correct, as the exact amounts can.
not be secured until at the close of
the season. But with the figures at
hand, and which are approximately
correct. it is certain that no less than
$4,000, 900 will be distributed among
the, estimated, 1900 woolgrowers OF
the state; this, too, after making a
reasonable allowance for the money
that has been paid to outsiders. but

cts.
With the dry weather now at hand
n which has prevailed for several
weeks past an improvement in condi.
tons favorable to the sellers is bound
to result. The clips that are now
being marketed will not be subject
to the water penalty" as it is believ.
ed that all wet ones have been dis.
posed of and that the wool which still
remains n the hands of growers is
free from moisture.

from Saturdays Daily Gazette.
Unless the state board of equaliza-
ton at Helena shows a weakness in
the matter, the railways operating in
Montana are going to pay some taxes
this year.. In another column of The
Gazette are found the figures made
on the valuation of railroad property
by the board. The representatives
Of the companies are to be given an
other hearing, but it is not believed
likely that a change will be made in
the figures which will form the basis
OF assessment on their property.
Yellowstone county is n of the
counties which will receive the larg-
est benefit by reason of the increased
assessment. According to the figures
given out at Helena last night the
property valuation in the county was
increased approximately $1,25O, 900 by
the action of the board in regard to
the railroad assessment.
A hasty compilation of the assess
ment of the county by County Clerk
Carwile according to the latest data
obtainable places the county's prop
erty valuation this year for taxation
purposes at $7,S6O,93 apportioned
as follows:
Northern Pacific main line. $1.616,OOO
Rocky Fork branch ...... 10000
Big Horn Southern ....... 258,995
~'Toluca-Cody line .......... 247,5 37
| Northern Pacific side tracks 3O,4O0
Burlington side tracks (esti-
mated) ;. -. 80. 10000
All other county property. 1888, 900
Total /. observation-disclosures
The, final corrections of the county
roll by the board of commissioners
and the transmission of the railway
assessment of the state board to the
county will not make any material
change in these figures. The tax levy
/ by the county commissioners will be
reduced at least two, and possibly
three mills below that of a year ago.

Warpath in the region between the Lit
tie Salmon and Petty rivers. A store
Is reported to have been looted and

stricken over the outbreak Of the hos

for protection.
Major Cuthbert has been fully ap-

be received he will leave for Selkirk
Immediately. It is stated that $50 to
200 Indians are in the hostile parties,
headed by two we'll known chiefs At
last accounts they were holding a war
dance and had worked themselves into
murderous frenzy.
Trouble with the Indians there has
been expected for long time. A mo-

Employment Of Children at Night Se-
verely Condemned BY Chairman Of
Strike Commission.
Pennsylvania legislature Should Pass
Laws to Prevent Recurrence
Of Trouble.
Another Independent Operator Called
to the Stand by Miners
Il Attorneys.

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 17.-When the 4
coal strike commission met Chairman
Gray Opeaed the proceedings by say
ing that the commissioners were i'm
pressed with the spectacle of the lit
sion the previous day and testified
that they worked all night. He said
the people of the community and cit
izens of the commonwealth should
not let the incident pass without TAX
ing some steps to have the legislature
of Pennsylvania seriously consider the
enactment of law that will forbid
the employment of children at night.
At the suggestion of the commission
the statement of the wages of the
fathers of two of the girls were pre-
sented. One earned more than 81 600
last year and the other over 5000.
The miners sprung another surprise
by presenting an individual operator
on the witness stand against the oper-
ators. He was John C. Haddock of
Wilkesbarre, president of the Plym-
outh Coal company. Mr.. Haddock, in
answer to questions put to him by c..
S. Darrow, for the miners, said he had
been in the coal business thirty-five
years. His company operates the.
Black Diamond and Dodson mines,
near Wilkesbarre. He said his COM
pany went into the hands of
receivers on March IA and on
Nov. IA trustees took hold Of
the property. Mr.. Haddock then ex-,
. l. Mo nd hn for vyhia iaI,
runs from 2,700 to 5000 pounds, was,
fixed years ago so that the employer
get out of the ton 2,240 pounds of pure,
coal above the size of pea. Pea coal
and all sizes below that was waste.
This waste is now being utilized. Re-
garding the prices of coal Mr.. Haddock
said the middlemen in New York are
paying $11 to $12 ton.
/ Judge Gray: DO they pay the op-
orators that price?"
Possibly was the reply.
Mr.. Haddock said the Lackawanna
company wanted to regulate the ton
mage of his company some years ago.
He opposed the proposition for year
and half and finally obtained the
right to mine and ship coal as he
pleased. Mr.. Haddock said he believed
in the combination of capital and la
Dor. He looked upon the organization
of labor as a necessity and he had no
objection to dealing with labor unions
if properly conducted. He believed the
mine workers, because of the good
market for coal, were justified in ask
ing for an increase in wages.
| On cross examination Mr.. Haddock
said he did not know of any operator
who is charging prices above the
schedule list.
