NEW INSPECTION LAW.
Federal Government Will Hereafter
Attend to Stock Shipments.

In the opinion Of stockmen who are
dependent upon the southern ranges
for animals with which to rcplenish
their own ranges each season they
have succeeded in circumventing the
obnoxious inspection laws of the
states through which they are com.
PEELED 10 ship and which have in the
past been regarded nothing less than
legalizing blackmail for the benefit
OF state inspectors. Particularly Sc
we're have they been in their arraign-
ment of the Colorado law by which
they have been forced to submit TO
what they have characterized as ex.
tortion and Unnecessary delay and an
noyances in getting their animals
north.
II will be remembered that last year
a test case was made by a Colorado
stOckman who refused to permit the
state inspector to inspect lot of cat.
tie he shipped north from Texas,
claiming that the certificate OF health
he held from the federal inspector
who gave his VIE at the point of or
igin. was a passport that gave him the
right TO ship his cattle anywhere with.

local inspection. Upon his refusal to
comply with the law he was arrested
and fined. In order to have the con.
stitutionality Of the Colorado inspeC.

stance of the National livestock asso.

supreme court OF the United States.

tion then brought its great power and
influence to bear in the direction oi
the passage Of the federal inspection
law regulating the shipment of live
stock from one state to another. In

law has been approved by the presi

violation OF the spirit of the promise
that Cole Younger made to the board

Contrary to the general understand

Younger was not. by the terms Of the
pardon forbidden to exhibit himself

only required to promise not to do So

Washington. Feb. 23.-All day there
has been talk of compromise on the
statehood bill. 1t was generally un-
derstood that what was known as the
Spooner compromise, being the two
state bills drawn by the Wisconsin
senator, would be satisfactory to the
Republicans.
The terms OF this compromise have
been given heretofore, save that the
provision for the the state of Monte.
yuma provides that before Arizona
can be set off as separate state, the
population OF Montezuma must be
100000. of which 100000 should be in
Arizona.
The Democrats, while talking In a
concilitory spirit. said that they had
little hope that the Republican prop
osition would be acceptable 10 them.
II is quite likely that when this prop
osition is submitted. the Democrats
will have a conference. Probably
then the counter proposition will be
made. providing that when Arizona
has population which is the average
for representative in congress II
shall be admitted as a state. and also
that census shall be taken every
year.
iAG Democrats say they want a pro.
vision fixing the date which will bring
Arizona into the union. This would
not be satisfactory to the Republi.
cans. While the efforts toward a
compromise continue, there are only
few senators who expect an adjust
ment TO be reached and the prospects
OF statehood legislation are still re

EXTRA SESSION THREATENED.
President Roosevelt Determined That
Treaties Shall Be Ratified.

Washington, Feb. 19.-President
Roosevelt will call an extraordinary
session of the senate Of the Fifty
eighth congress unless both the Pan.
anna canal and the Cuban reciprocity
treaties are ratified at the present ses-
sion. The president made this declar-
alton of his intention to several SEN
ators today, and he made il as en-
phatic and unequivocal as he was
capable of making IL.
II Is deemed likely by officials of
the administration. and by many SEN
ators, that both treaties will be rati-
fed before March 4. but the necessity
for their early ratification is regarded
by the president as SO urgent that in
the event of the failure OF either one
or both at the present session he will
issue Immediately his call for an ex'
ira session. 1t Is said that there are
grave reasons OF state why both treat,
les should be ratified as soon as pos
sible. These have induced the presi.
dent to make TO senators the an
nouncement of his determination

ing committee, place always given
the recognized leader OF the majority.
From now TO the close of the session
Mr.. King will be the most powerful
man in the house and that he will use
that power for the best interests of
every secuon of the state, his course
up to the present time is sufficient
assurance. While the winning OF the
Craftsmanship OF this committee by a
Fergus county member is a great hon.
or, still more favor was bestowed when
Representative Hilger was named as
one OF the minority members. Mr..
Hilger had taken a prominent place
in many of the debates and is recog-
nized as quite the most able and fair
of the minority membership. The 9TH
er members of this powerful commit
tee are Beyerof Yellostone, Cannon
of Flathead and Swindlehurst of Park.
The time o. the house was devoted
to receiving the reports of commit
tees, some of which were favorable
but most OF which sounded the death
knell of somebody's pet measure.
Two bills were killed, six passed on
third reading, among the latter being
one allowing witnesses in criminal
cases and in courts not of record and
on coroner's inquest the same fees as
are allowed witnesses in like courts
in civil action.
Bills are still being introduced.

BY vote of 16 to d the fair trial

Notwithstanding the attempt of the
Heinze senators to delay it. As it is
generally conceded that the Heinze
members Of the house will adopt sim
liar dilatory tactics and that even
when passed the governor will veto
it, the friends of the measure were
determined to hurry il along SO that
there might be opportunity to pass
it over the governors veto before the
close of the session. And the vote
today shows hat in the senate at
least. they have the required two
thirds to do it.
Senator Hoffman's amendments to

TURN TO CHICAGO.
Minneapolis Banks Decrease Depos-

Y 6FEv3tHoS 81, sssS#t
Of Collection Charges.
Illiberality Of Eastern Institutions
Is Subject Of Unfavorable Com
ment in Northwest.

Illiberality Of New York banks in sew
eral points, such as collection charges,
is touched up this week by a Mime
apOlis bank president He has been much
provoked at several spats with New York
ers who control the financial institutions,
andssets his views forth in an invteryiew.
The talk is warning to the New York
banks and explains the decrease of west
ern deposits. A systematic adherence to
the obnoxious rules cannot injure the
twin cities, as they are such heavy ex-
change producers and this exchange can
be easily transferred to New York funds.
The interview as given in the Chicago
Banker: this week reads thus:
1T is the tendency Of western banks
to increase their deposits in Chicago and
to decrease them in New York, because
of the illibera1ity of New York banks in
the matter Of collection charges. Too,
the trust companies are sending travel
ing men thru the west in an endeayor
to get the business of the western banks.
on much more liberal terms than the
New York banks offer.
"a Minneapolis bank bought bonds in
New York the other day and directed that
they be sent with draft attached. This
the New York bank refused to do without
payment Of a, clearing house collection
charge, SO the purchaser was COMPELLED
either to pay exchange thru the broker
in that city, or to send New York ex-
cnanSe IOr the amount. The latter
method was used, but the next time this
bank has, occasion to make a purchase
the bonds will be bought thru local
brokers, where the bank will not be sub
jected to- such a charge.
1--WE used to sneeze out here when Wall
street took snuff. We don't do that anv
more, you know. We are not borrowing
money in Wall street any more, we are
lending. In all seriousness, believe that
the New York banks will have to recede
from their. position on several points or
submit to loss Of business-there are no
two ways about it..
The New York banks and brokers do
not seem to able to get 1t thru their
heads that they are nothing but agents.
and if the agent does not suit his princi-
pal the agent will be. changed We are
making New York and foreign exchange
here all the time on account Of enormous
flour drafts. We can run on exchange
we make without buying any,
