GOVERNOR CARRIERS REMARKS.
In calling the meeting together, Mr..
Carter said THE emergency has arisen
which the administration has been try
ing to avoid and we now face it. 1t is
a grave situation that we are on the
threshold of this morning, and I must
confess that my own course is not en-
tirely clear. Many questions have
arisen in regard to the situation that
do not make me feel certain in my own
mind, that any course which I can pur-
sue would be perfectly safe and sure.
and not only open to criticism but per-
haps legal difficulties. Feeling that
way I believe the best assistance I can
get is in the gathering together of the
thinking men of this community of all
political complexions and getting the in
dividual expression of opinion of those
gentlemen who have studied the ques-
tions now before us. I don't desire
any resolutions to be offered or any
to be passed.
while there will not be an opportuni-
ty for all to speak this morning it will
be a great benefit to have the crystalliz-
ing of public opinion, in hearing
the remarks of those who do speak. L
think that by this method, while I'VE
may not get to a definite conclusion,
because the opinions will be so varied
and far apart, the responsibility will
finally devolve on me and will have the |
benefit of the wisdom offered. I believe
we do not need an expression of what |
might have been or I told you so, but |
it will be best to consider how to go |
ahead. I will ask Governor Dole, ex-
Governor Dole, Judge Dole to speak, |
he has had more to do with facing such |
situations in the past. Tt is most diff
cult for me to decide what is best,
whether to call the legislature to pass
a new county act. or how to proceed
with reference to the county act, or
how to proceed to cover the hiatus now.
without appropriations for the differ
ent departments of the government. I
would like an expression of opinion on
these two points,
JUDGE DOLE's VIEWS.
NO course which could be adopted or
presented, would I believe be entirely
free from objections or be perfectly
safe" said Judge Dole. TT would be
good advice to go back and start where
we were and give the community
chance to consider the whole question
now that the Supreme Court has de-
cided. We are given a splendid chance
to draft a county act which is worka-
BILE. I believe a much superior one
can be passed"
Quoting the section of the Organic Act
to appropriations Judge Dole
said 1.-The Organic Act provided for one
special session of the legislature to pass
and this has already
been held. I believe it was the inten-
ton of Congress TO limit the Iegisla-
ture and to prevent the necessity of

several special sessions, by the mere
failure of the legislature to provide for
some department. This is intended to
the governor may go ahead on the old
appropriations, if the legislature failed
to pass bills for the current expenses
and for meeting the legal obligations of
the government by the then existing
law. It makes no difference whether
, there was hostile motive, or as in
this case a honest motive, where it was
intended that the county should take
certain functions and certain depart
ments. The legislature having failed to
take the action contemplated, in my
opinion this section of the Organic Act
provides that the old appropriations
shall be used.

mo, 1901, not the six months bill. 1
think it would be a mistake to call a
special session of the legislature" con-
tinued Judge Dole, ''The legislature is
incapable of drafting county act on
few weeks notice, no one is capable
of doing that. 1t might be given to two
or three competent men and let them
have six months or a year for the work

HAS LEGISLATURE POWER?
'tDo you believe the legislature has
the power under the Organic Act to
pass county bill like the late one,
with the many provisions providing for
elections of our own, for boards, etc.
It seems very doubtful to me. if the
legislature, limited as it is by the Or
ganic Act, can pass a county act which
will be satisfactory to the people, TAX
ing this last act as the expression of
their wishes
''It is impossible for me to say" re-
piled the Governor. "'Only men expert
enced in the law can draft law which |
will stand the shoals and reefs of the
courts and juries. 1t is something |
which cannot be hastily done, it must
be approached with deliberation and /
care"
ROBERTsON'S IDEAS.
A. G. NJ. Robertson was next called |
upon by the Governor for an expression
of his views
1T is rather short notice to be called
upon for an opinion on such an impor-
tant question said he. L am inclined
to disagree with the last speaker in
regard to holding over the appropria-
ton bills. The Legislature, in my opin-
ion. has complied with the law in pass
ing the necessary appropriations for
two years. but something has since
to make some of the appro-
oriations inapplicable. This was a com
pliance with the Organic Act in this
respect and I don't believe the change
n the situation knocks out the appro-a

Mr.. Milroy is also enthusiastic over
the Chicago creek coal mine, owned by
Nc. Intosh Bros. and others. An in
cline has been run $50 feet, and the
coal is pulled up by steam. Two men
can easily take out 30 tons day. The
hanging wall was recently uncovered,
and the vein has been crosscut a dis
lance of 60 feet. The coal is of fine
quality and practically free of foreign
matter. The mine is most promising
one, if the product can only be gotten
to market. This coal costs So ton at
the mine, and $50 additional delivered
on the Inmachuk. But the transporta-
ton facilities are inadequate. The
mine is 10 miles from Dashley's, on the
Inmachuk.
