LIBRARY PROJECT
UP TO COUNCIL
Ministerial Association Presents Big
Petition Asking That One Mill
Tax Be Levied For Library.

A lively session of the city council
was held last Monday evening. All
the members we're present excepting
Alderman Page, who was i'll.
The regular routine business had
been about completed when the mem
bers of the Ministerial association,
consisting of Rev. ]. E. Burkhart,
Rev. J. A. Smith, Rev. ]. w. Fogarty
and Rev. A. A. w alker entered the
council chamber.
Rev. Burkhart acted as spokesman
for the gentlemen and after first pre-
senting a lengthy petition signed by
nearly all the taxpayers in the city
asking that levy of one mill be made
for library purposes he presented the
plan Of the association, which is in
brief as follows:
late subscription for the purpose of
raising funds to supply books for the
nucleus of the library. Gifts of books
will be received. The ministers have
a partial assurance that library
room may be donated rent free and a
number of young ladies have yo.un-
teered their services to act turn about
as librarians. The association will
establish and conduct the library,
meantime transferring the property
right to the city; and all they ask is
that a one mill tax be levied to assist
in the maintenance of the library.
The association hopes later on to in.
terest some person philanthropically
inclined who may see his or her way
clear to provide library building.
A lively discussion was precipitated
in the council and which was partici-
pated in by Rev. Fogarty and Rev.
Smith. During the discussion it de-
veloped that Aldermen Taylor, Burns
and Peterson were opposed to the city
having anything to do with the library
proposition and that Aldermen Howley
and Trosdahl and Mayor Romney are
very much in favor of establishing the
library. 1t is understood that Alder
man Page, who was not present at the
meeting, has expressed hearty ap.
proval of the project.

BITTER ROOT
LAND CONTESTS
Deed Refused for Government Land
Taken Up AS Timber Claim
BY q. G. Taylor.

William Q. Ranft as attorney for
the contestants i'll the Bitter Root val
ley land controversy has received in
formation from Washington which he
claims sustains the contention Of his
clients. According to IA telegram re-
ceived by Mr.. Ranft Commissioner
Hermann ordered the timber and stone
entry of George C. Ia, lor to be can
celled on January % and the contest
ing entry of Walter Beard will be in
next order for filing in the local office
The land is located i'll the Bitter
Root valley. where it was contended
by the IS contestants that no timber
and stone filings could be made. and
that lands could only be taken up un-
der the Bitter Root pre- en1ption act
No patent had been issued to Taylor,
though he held final receipt from
the receiver of the local office which
had been issued January 20, 1900. In
the regular course of business, this
entitled Taylor to a patent, but for
some reason he was never given a
government deed to the land.
In speaking of this action Mr.. Ranft
said that he believed his clients would
ultimately get possession of the land
for which they had started proceed
ings. He takes it that cancellation Of
Taylor's timber aud stone entry is a
ruling that will hold and be applied to
the IS Bitter Root valley contests. On
this basis, Mr.. Ranft maintains that
ali are entitled to the land for which
they have entered contests and suit
will be entered for those to which
patents have been issued in the near
future.

been received at the local Office and the

At r4;ular meeting Of the Ham

L. U. the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, There has been introduc-.
ed in the Legislative assembly of the
State Of Montana certain bills, having
for their object the submission to the
voters of the state a constitutional
amendment providing for the Optional
Referendum and the Initiative, upon
endum and per cent for the Initia-

WHEREAS, The representatives of
certain corporate interests have an
nounced themselves devoted to the
purpose of defeating all such bills and
thereby preventing the voters of Mon
tana from deciding for themselves at
the ballot box whether or not they de-
sire the enactment Of such constitu-
tional amendment. Now, therefore,
be it
RESOLVED, That Hamilton Federal
Union No. 100 of the A. L. U., repres-
enting nearly 600 men in this union,
believing that the people and not their
agents, should be the ones to pass
final judgment upon the advisability
of taking to themselves the right to
legislate upon matters affecting their
interests, does hereby unqualifiedly de-
nounce all efforts to draw party lines
upon what is in the very nature of
things a non-partisan movement and
condemns the avowed opponents of the
measure as men unfit to be intrusted
with political power in governmen,
of, by and for the people, and call
upon every lover of personal and po-
litical freedom as opposed to corporate
control to bring every possible in
f1uence to bear upon the legislators to
the end that the Constitutional Amend

for their final verdict; and, be it

RESOLVED, That this resolution be
given to the press, and that the ex-

MORE ABOUT THE FRANCHISE.

In this issue OF The INDEPENDENT
Mr.. Whiteiaw publishes signed state
ment concerning the proposed power
franchise. In this st itement Mr.. White
law does not attempt tn deny or Justify
the fsi!ure to provide for forfeiture. in
case of his failure to comply with re-
ouiremeuts concerning time limit etc.
The franchise WAS prepared by Mr..
whi,elaw. and il he failed to insert such
clauses as will protect the people then
the franchise should be turned down as
the people cannot afford to vote fran
chise and rely solely on MIR. Whiteiaws
sense of honor and justice to turn the
privilege back to the people should he
present time. We know OF no better
speculation than to acquire monopoly
of the wa;erpower TO be developed at the
expense OF this town. il such monopoly
can be acquired without the expenditure
of any money and extend for a period OF
twenty years without expending single
cent until such time as he is able to sell
the privilege to outside capitalists.
Mr.. Whitelaw's transactions with the
town 10 reference to the sale of the
water is evidence Of his ability to look
after his own interests and it would be
hard to convince the people that his
present move is entirely from phi.an,
thropic notions.
Mr.. Whitelaw appears to be making
an effort t. cause the people to lose sight
of the main issue by making it appear
as though the opposition to his franchise
originates with and is being prosecuted
by tho present Electric Light company.
In Mr.. Whitelaw's statement he
claims to have offered to purchase
the electric light plant nov operated by
the Delta Electric Light company, but
we are informed by Mr.. Shue that Mr..
Whitelaw's proposition was to purchase
the plant. the price to be fixed by Mr..
Whitelaw's expert. Mr. Shue, on being
asked about this statement has the
following to say: We do hereby offer to
sell Mr. Whiteiaw for cash, our electric
light plant for what it has cost Us with
reasonable per cent added thereto for
the business established.

WHAT NEXT?

tits extremely difficult for those
who live in this section of Colora-
do to understand why Sunday
trains have been discontinued.
These trains have been running
for years and through the most
strenuous times, and it was never
discovered to be necessary to cut
us off from the outside world,
without mail or traffic until now.
About the only reason the average
person can give for this is, Just
simply because they can or else an
excuse is being made for the rails
ing of freight and passenger rates
in the near future. The service
on the Salida branch has been mis-
cradle all summer, the afternoon
train being late so often that no
one but the transfers and post
masters knew the schedule tine.
All the excuse ever known to be
given was that traffic was too hea
Wy for the road to handle and
make time. Now, that it is found
to be necessary to take off the Sun
day passenger train it is certainly
"a pulling proposition. Everyone
has found out, without asking,
long since, that the road was under
new management. When the
earnings of the ID. & Il. G. were
published some time since, good
dividends We're declared. OF
course it may be that some of
Gould's other railroad ventures
are not turning out as they should
and we are to be made to pay the
freight, by being denied what we
lave learned to believe are our
rights.
The people of the Western Slope
had better see to it that represen-
tatives are sent to the next legis-
lature that will legislate for the
people as well as the ID. & r. G.
railroad company. The time has
come when some legislation should
he had regarding freight rates, any
way.
The Delta independent., 1903-11-27

short-sighted plan of false economy
is the more surprising in view OF
the consistently liberal policy to-
ward that section of the state on the
part of the railway manage
ment in the past, policy which
has resulted in the building up OF
the counties of the San Luis, the
San Juan and the Gunnison into
the most valuable local feeders for
freight and passenger business OF
this read.
1t is to be hoped however that
these communities will find some
more effective expression of univer-
sal public opinion than merely per-
sonal or newspaper complaint.
There should be concerted action
by the boards of trade, city councils
and boards, of county commissioners
to protest against this action. Our
own Business Mems association
might we'll show its interest in
this section of the state by making
vigorous protest against the re-
moval of the Sunday trains and
using its influence to secure the
repeal of the obnoxious order.
The Chieftain cannot believe
that the intelligent railway man
ayers of the Denver Il Rio Grande
system have so far reversed their
traditional policy without the un-
wise and unwarranted interference
of some selfish outside influences.
1t remains for tile people of the
southwest to present an influence
in favor of regular train service
that will be even more important
for the officials to consider.-Pu-
eblo Chieftain.

miscellaneous Rates.

During the past few months
many attempts have been made to
wreck trains. There are few roads
in the west but what have recent
ly experienced difficulties of this
kind. 1t would seem that such
crimes as these are becoming al
most mania with certain class
of people. By accident, what
would have proved the most dis
astrous wrecks have been discover
ed in time to prevent the catastro-
phe. So far, the Rock Island is
the only road to suffer severely
from these wrecking tiends.
