ALDERMEN AGREE
TO ISSUE OF BONDS
There Are indications That the
Assembly Minority Is Weak
ening in Opposition.

The proposed issue of 100000 in i'm
provement bonds is now up to the as
sembly. The board Of aldermen gave
it's approval to the measure authorizing
the issue last night.
While there are three Republicans
in the body, Aid. Holt, Elder and
Corning, not dissenting voice was
heard when the vote was called, and
Vice President Bantz, at the close, was
able to announce the full three fourths
vote, as required by law.
Rumor has credited the Republican
minority in the assembly with being a
unit in opposition to the issue, but
there are prospects that the solid front
will be broken. Where there were four
votes announced against the. issue two
weeks ago, the number has dwindled
down to two, and even these may be
brought over before the time, arrives.
Assemblyman Schumacher, at first
strongly opposed to the issue, has
come over, and it is understood that he
has been followed by Assemblymen
Rosen and Wheeler, heretofore strong
ly opposed to the issue.
The bonds mean a heavy reduction
in the tax levy next year and this one
feature is having a strong influence on
the opposition.

HOUSE MOVERS TIE UP
STREET CAR LINES
Second Case of the Kind This Month
and More of the Kind Are Promised.


Belated travellers, who customarily
patronize the Selby and Merriam Park
lines, walked this morning between the
hours of 1 and 8 o'clock. At Grotto
street and Selby avenue a house was
being moved across the tracks, and
this was assigned as the cause of the
five hours tie-up.
If some of the house movers are to be
believed these tie-ups will be frequent
in the future. Because of the big Of
flee building to be erected at Wabasha
and College streets number of the
frame structures in that locality are
to be moved to other parts of the city,
and every one of them will cross the
tracks Of some car line. This is the
second time this month a car line has
been put out of service for almost an
entire night because of a house to be
moved and complaints are heard in
consequence. 1t is asserted that the
buildings could be moved in one-half
the time consumed

FELT SHOE COMPANY
WOULD LOCATE HERE
Chamber of Commerce to Solicit Sub
scriptions for $4,000 of Stock.

A committee of members of the
Chamber of Commerce was yesterday
appointed to solicit subscriptions for
stock in the Felt Shoe company, which
wishes to locate it's factory in st. Paul.
The promoters of the manufacturing
establishment desire that the ST. Paul
business men raise $4,000, or half the
capital stock of the organization.
Representatives of the projected
factory appeared before the members
of the Chamber of Commerce yester-
day afternoon and explained the plan
of the company and the reason for the
promoters desiring to locate in St.
st. Paul. The company's proposition
was met with considerable enthusiasm
and it is possible that the required
amount of stock will be taken by St.
Paul business men.

has established a new record in the
United States army for such target

of four out of five. held by the Sew

The record is remarkable from the
fact that it was accomplished the sec

is not sUsTAlNABLE.

Having escaped payment of what
the outside world considered a just
debt, Helena now finds itself with
sufiient wealth on hand to become an
eager bidder for the state fair. With
this end in view it has agreed to do
nate to the state eighty acres of land,
with fair buildings erected upon it
and if needed will also furnish the
necessary men, at going wages to
manage the show and take in the
tickets. In advancing the cause of its
city the Independent naively remarks
that there is no likelihood that any
other ommunity in Montana could
come anywhere near meeting this Of
fer" After adding som more words,
the Independent closes by saying that
there is reason to believe that Hell
ena will receive the support in this
movement of the other counties in the
state and their representatives in the
legislature, to which would seem, in
all fairness, this city is entitled.
Just why Gin all fairness" Helena,
more than any other city, is entitled to
the distinction of being made the
place for a permanent state fair the
Independent does not say If a can
yass we're to be made it would I'M
doubtedly be found that other cities
would be prepared to donate the
amount of land required and do so
gladly, as the bill now before the sen
ate specifies that conditional upon
the deciding of such land the state
shall appropriate $4,000 annually for
the purpose of keeping the fair IN
~operation. While some of that mon
ey would necessarily go to the ok
hibitors, a large per cent OF 1T would
be expended in a manner directly pen
citing the city selected. Helena may
get the fair, if the bill becomes a law
for the Helenaites have such TAKING
ways about them. but this will not es
tab1ish the claim that it 'in all talr
ness is entitled to it.

THE MEXICAN WAY.

Pioneer Press: According to a re-
Gently published letter in the st. Louis
Gloge-Democrat, the Standard Oil
company has found Mexico rather I'M
favorable for the preservation of it's
monopoly. 1t did, until recently, have
d monopoly Of the oil trade in tlal
country, and retailed the fluid to con-
srmers at so cents per gallon. Bur
:. Mexican peasant, GigslLS for water
unexpectedly struck oil. A shrewd
American heard of it, formed a part
nership with him. and at once began
to cut into the Standards trade. So
long as the cutting was insignificant,
no notice was taken of it. But the
rival business grew and grew, until
the Standard folks felt It necessary
to do something. With their usual
complacent assurance they offered to
purchase, at a figure which would
tickle any Pennsylvania or Indiana
producer, the whole product of the
Mexican wells. Their offer was polite
w declined. Then they offered an i'm
merse sum in purchase OF the plant.
This was, with equal ~politeness, also
declined. Then, as a last resort the
Standard, through H. Clay Pierce, its
southwestern factotum, bought the
| line cf railway on which the Mexican
firm depended to get their Oil to mar
ket, and put the tariff so high that
they were seemingly at the mercy OF
the Standard, since they were now
| limited to the insignificant territory
they could reach with wagons. But
they did not give up. They appealed
to President Diaz. In him was found
| a rock which not all the Rockefellers
cf America could remove from their
path. He promptly sent notice to MI.
| Pierce that the railway tariff u be
| restored to it's former figure; other
wise the charter of the railway would
be declared forfeited! Was there ever
| such an act Of "~despotism" But
| Mexico is not the United States anu
| Pierce gracefully recognized the TACT.
His company had not been particular

per Sc; but still the property purchas'
ed is a good one, and he will at least
have the satisfaction of collecting
ordinary freight on his rivals Oil. But
he thinks no doubt that Dlaz, Ike

NOT to be denied that a ~"benevolen'

over the republican system OF checKs

A DREAM.

A busy lot are the initiative and
referendum fellows. They are up
early and late in their efforts to OBJ
tain a hearing flor their hobby. If
they were to have their way the null
tiplicity of elections favored by the
governor in his message. would by
comparison appear like centennial eel
ebrations in their infrequency. while
Montana would be in the ecstacies of
a perpetual campaign of some sort.
All that would be required to bring
about an election would be for a lit
tie ten per centum of the people of
the state to take a notion that they
wanted some particular piece of law
and then file q petition with the sec
letary of state, which official would
then be required to call a special cleo
ton and the other ninety per centum
would then designate by their votes
whether they wanted that particular
law. This would be the initiative.
The referendum is similar. The only
difference is that upon a petition of
five per centum of the legal voters
of a majority of the counties or the
state, or by a majority vote of the leg
islative assembly passing the bill any
measure shall be submitted to the peo'
pie and another election must be held
and the question of the adoption OF
the law is to be decided by them
Great is the theory of the i. and +.
but it is doubtful whether it will be
adopted in practice by the people Of
Montana, at least during the lifetime
of those who are now advocating it.
