WAYS THAT ARE DARK.

Dave Larimer, The Politician" Of
lowing to say of the tactics Of the
railroad lobby in it's efforts to encom-
pass the defeat of Governor Mcbride
In next years republican state con-
vention:
According to a story which comes
from the west side the program Of the
railroad lobby to defeat Governor Nc
Bride is beginning to take definite
shape. In the northwest M. P. Hurd
Of Skagit county is to have the rail-
road backing for attorney general. and
r. H. BrOwnell of Snohomish county is
to have the same support for congress-

county may have railroad backing to
carry his home delegation for gov
ernor.
In the southwest George Dysart of
Lewis county is said to have a rail-
road promise of the office of commits
sioner Of public lands, and Mayor G.. J.
Lord Of Olympia is being inflated with
gubernatorial hot air. State Treasur-
er Maynard is said to be working with
the railroads in their scheme to de-
| liver the southwest, though to what
| purpose is not known, for under the
constitution the state treasurer is in
eligible to reelection.
The real purpose Of the railroad
leaders, 1t is claimed. is to nominate
an eastern Washington man for gov
ernor in an endeavor to placate the
agricultural counties for the rundown
of Mcbride. What particular bunch

A COMEDY OF ERRORS.

From the beginning of the effort on
the part of a majority Of the council
to undo the action of a prior session
in electing E. r. Harding poundmast-
er. their proceedings in relation to this
office have been a comedy of errors.
In the first place the council had no
legal right under the charter to recon-
slider the vote by which Mr.. Harding
was elected. An election does not
come under the head Of a motion as
place the gentleman chosen by four
of the councilmen to succeed Mr..
Harding is not bona fide citizen of
the town, having but recently commut-
ed on a homestead in Franklin county.
He will not have regained his resi-
dence here until about January 14th.
After Mr.. Harding had begun suit
for the possession Of the office the
mayor called a special meeting of the
council for Friday night, the 18th inst.
to abolish the office Of poundmaster.
This special meeting was not legal,
as the days notice required by law
was not given by the city clerk. At
this session an ordinance was passed
office of poundmaster. An ordinance
was introduced at the same meeting
creating the office Of mounted police
man to take the place of the mounted
poundmaster. This ordinance was re-
ferred. to a committee. AS this special
meeting was illegal, of course all its
acts were null and void.
At the regular meeting Of the coun-
Gil last Tuesday night the ordinance
abolishing the Office Of pOundmaSter
was taken up and passed on what was
accepted as the third reading. AS the
first two readings Of the ordinance
We're of no effect, the ordinance would
not stand a legal test.
For a few days the city was prac-
tically without a poundmaster and the
freedom Of the city was thus extended
to all cattle, horses, mules, sheep,hogs
and dogs. But recognizing the dam
age that might be done to the lawns
of the city and to other property by
making the town a free range for live
stock, the mayor last Friday afternoon
instructed the city clerk to call an
other special meeting of the council.
The meeting was called but of course
it was illegal from the want of proper
notice, just as had been the one of a
week before. At this session the ordi-
nance changing the title of the office
of pOundmaster to mounted policeman
was taken up and passed. 1t was then
to elect the Franklin county
to the new position, but
Councilman Glasford raised the point
of nOn-residence and it was then de-
cided that the new position should be
rendered to OFT Mckenzie until Deem
Der 18th. AS this special meeting was
illegally called it's acts were null and
void
AS the situation now stands E. r.
Harding is the only legally elected
poundmaster, all efforts to depose him
having been illegal and of no effect
However, his suit against H. T. Gro
we'll for possession of the office may
fall fiat, as Mr. Crowell is not in pos
session. But it is a safe bet that Mr..
Harding will be able to collect his SAL
airy from the city and perhaps some
damages besides.
1t would be we'll for the councilmen
to sit down quietly charter in hand and
pray the good Lord to help them to
find out where they are at"
