spired from same central source. NOT
only are they identical in language or
nearly so, but it seems as If some one
must be canvassing the country, Plo
crossing from state to state, because
petitions are sent first to one senator
and then another.
These petitions have continued -

nary numbers. A large percentage VI
the signatures evidently are not those
of voters. Thousands of women nave
signed the papers, and many ouhu's
schools have subscribed names III
block Some petitions are MANIFEST
ly written entirely by the same person
and seem to be copies of some llst. III
quite a large majority of cases the pc
titions were evidently subscribed 10 al
some sort of meeting, because the INK

say the same pen was used
Mr.. Smoot was sworn in and mas
been senator for more than SIN
months and during all that time the
petitions have increased in number IN
stead of diminishing, as eVerVpouS
supposed would be the case. BEFORE
the senator took his seat the petitions
and protests were far less numerous
than they are now. although that was
the time for a contest.
While the numbers of these petitions
continue to astonish the senate, the
mystifying thing is that none allege
any real, substantial reason why MI

ROADS CLOSED lip
COUNTY SSIONERS WILL
HAVE MANY TANGLES TO UN-
RAVEl IN NEAR FUTURE.
Many OF Early Surveys Were Imprac-
ticable and Had to Be Abandoned
by Travellers.

The county commissioners will soon
nave a vast amount of road matters to
occupy their attention if they decide
to take up the proposition of straight
ening out the tangled up county roads
between Walla Walla and Snake river.
Commissioner McCaW and Surveyor
LOehr spent several days last week
on the fiat looking over many thorough
fares that had been closed up, and they
reported the result of their investiga-
ton to the board this week.
We found some very rough roads
near Snake River" said Surveyor
Loehr,, and it will take a great deal
of work to get them in good shape.
Judging from some of them the sur
veyors in early days did not pay
much attention when making a survey
as to the practicability of building
roads in the Snake river hills. From
the surveys that are on file in my Of
flee it looks as though when ever any
one petitioned for new road that it
was granted without taking into con-
SideratiOn whether it could be con-
strUcted along the route surveyed
one road in question is the Copeland
road. which runs from Clyde to Snake
river. This road is only 1la miles
| long and it passes through some OF
the largest hills on the fiat. When il
| reaches within two miles of Snake
river it runs up against a bluff fully
thirty feet in height
I'VE found on the trip that a great
many of the roads had been fenced VI
| by recent settlers and new routes were
! being Travelled that had never beer
! officially declared county roads. Mann
| of them were several miles from the
| original survey and in some instances
entire roads were closed up

HEINZE NOT IN FIGHTING MOOD

HELENA, Mont, Dec. lit is
learned on excellent authority that
Heinze has decided not to contest Sc
riously the passage for the fair trials
bill which has been introduced at the
extraordinary session of the legisla-
ture. Neither will he oppose the adop-
ton of the measure which gives the
supreme court power to review facts
in equity cases.
John MacGinniss, vice president Of
Heinze's ore purchasing company and
floor leader in the lower branch. was
asked how long he expected to re-
main in Helena. las soon as the
Amalgamated gets through" was the
reply.
Asked if this meant no opposition
| gamated measures, Mr.. MacGinnis
said
We are willing to take the chances
| that the Legislature cannot pass a bill
which will run the constitutional
gauntlet"
| Thus it will be seen that Heinze ex-
poets to offer no more than nominal
| resistance to the passage of these tive
bills which the Amalgamated company
| declares are necessary to its business
life in Montana.
! In consequence, it is expected thai
| the bills will be passed in short order
and it is probable the Legislature car
] finish its work this week or. at the
| latest. early next week. The house
late yesterday adopted a resolution eX-
| Guiding from the Hobbies all persons
| except former members, accredited
newspaper men and state elective of
ficers. This resolution was adopted
without opposition, three or four scat

Albert Burrows has returned from
an extended visit in the cities on Pu-

THE company has just completed

DEFEAT DUE TO PARTY SCRAP
Fight On Head of Republican Ticket
Result Disastrously for Party.

EVERETT, Wash, Dec. 1.-THE
night on the head of the republican
ticket resulted in a partial democratic
victory at the municipal election
here Tuesday. Thomas Headlee,
democratic nominee for mayor, was
elected by a majority of 1856, and r. D.
NcNeeley, democrat was chosen COun-
cilman-at-large over McDOry Hatha-
way. the republican nominee. The
vote was: Hathaway, 1925; McNeeley
1873. The principal fight was direct
ed upon Craigue and Hathaway.
COuncilmen were elected i'll the
First, Second and Sixth wards. Han
sen. republican, was chosen in the
First without opposition. Mathews
republican nominee in the Second. re-
Ceived 270 votes, but was defeated by
Moore with 2S9. The vote in the Sixth
stood: Spence, republican, 1872; Fields
democrat. Sal.

Informed me that it was the plan of

lleVeS that his company will soon be
in a position to furnish gas for illu-
mlnatlng purposes to the cities on the
Sound. He says as the gas is gener-
ated, at no cost whatever, but material
from which the extraction of the tar
and other fluids is secured the COM
pany will be in a position to furnish
lighting material at a much cheaper
rate than any one else"

mortal states that this withdrawal OF
lands will result disastrously to the
people and will avail nothing toward
the advancement of irrigation by the
government because the field Is al
ready occupied by a cooperative COM
pany composed of actual settlers and
home builders, who must go to the
wall if the government steps in and
prevents the settlement of the va
cant lane
1t also declares that the only class
to be benefited by the withdrawal are
large stockholders who have already
titles to all the land they can afford
to carry and failing in their attempt
to lease the public range. encourage
the withdrawal of the lands.

This so exasperated Mr.. Hudnall that he
hauled back the receiver and, threw it as

smashing box. bells and all.
