 NIT. Perry, property owner at this time appeared before the Council to ask what opinion had been rendered by City Attorney Sutter and his assist ant in the matter of the 1 mill interest aX levy, which was asked of the Guy Attorneys office, and which the as- sistant had promised at the previous meeting to render at the regular meet ing. Mir. Hogan replied to MT Per ry informing him that the City At tOrney had refused to come to the meeting, and had not rendered the lromised report. therefore putting il up to the Council to wait until opin- ion could be secured from the new City Attorney.
 "The Council, in making that levy" continued MT. Hogan. acted under the advice of Mr. Sutter. None of the members of the Council are attor- neys, and we of course accepted the opinion of the City Attorney at that time as correct. MT. Hughes, at the time, asked how the city could levy c tax to pay interest on bonds when it had no bonds, but the attorney step ped further question with the state ment that it made no difference wheth. CT we had interest to pay or not; if we did not have, we could use the mon ey gathered from the tax for gener- al improvement purposes. So I do not feel that the Council is to blame for the present trouble. All 1t can do now is to act on whatever advice its new attorney may give in the matter, and let the people know about that advice as soon as it can so as to stop the difficulty now being had in mak- ing tax collections"
 The resignation sent in last week by Councilman Sowle was called up by Mir. Hogan and Mir. Sowle asked If he could not conclude to withdraw it. He stated in reply that he had hand. ed in the resignation because he felt that important matters were coming before the Council, and inasmuch as he was going to be out of town thirty days longer than he had expected and could not attend all the meetings. he thought it only right that he should resign. If the Council, under these circumstances, still wanted him to stay, and in view of the letter the City Clerk had been instructed to address him in the matter, he would do so. The unanimous expression of the Council was that he remain, and the resigna- tion was withdrawn

Butte merchants are rejoicing over
heavy fall trade thelargest for many
years and say to the suppression of
public gambling is due in a large
measure the greatly improved condi-
ton of trade. 1t has long been the
contention that wide open town help
e., business, and for this reason. as
much as any other, public gambling
mas been countenanced. Evidently
the Butte merchants have found that
the men and families of the city have
more moneyto spend for the necessar-
iea of life than they ever had before
ana there is less credit business than
formerly. If the merchants of Butte
become thoroughly convinced that
times are better without bubble gamb-
ling it will go a long ways towards
forging the chains of the tiger in the
big mining camp.

with a majority of his colleagues, came
to the conclusion that neither territory
should be admitted for several years
to come and never as one state. He
says that New Mexico is to all intents
and purposes Spanish, talk that langu.
age almost to the exclusion of English,
and it's people are radically opposed
to free schools. He found that be.
cause Of the topography of the coun.
try, Arizona would be as distant from
New Mexico by rail as is Minnesota
from New York, and would be al
most wholly deprived of a voice in the
government of the proposed state. He
thinks a union of the two territories
end admission under such circumstan-
ces would be an outrage on the peo-
pie of Arizona and an imposition on
the rest of the country. lHefound the
business interests of Arizona utterly
opposed to such union and even op-
posed to admission under any circum-
stances until the population of the ter
ritory shouldbecome more fixed and
not made up principally of ''floaters."
He thinks it is the politicians of
the territories who are anxious for i'm
mediate statehood rather than the peO-
pie. There should be no particular
haste in admitting those territories

A LAST RESORT.

The great railroad interests of the
country. as a last resort to prevent
railroad rate legislation. have given
their employees to understand that
such legislation would result in the
lowering of rates, thereby lessening
the earning power of the railroads
which would consequently lead to a
reduction in their wages.
Believing this, a delegation repre-
senting five labor organizations, con-
nected with railroading. have called
on the president to protest against
any legislation whatever during tho
coming session of congress.
This is a pretty strong leverage.
But there is cunning and deceit back
of it. In the first place there is no
purpose to fix rates generally. The
object is to make the law corrective,
to change given rate when it is found
excessive and unjust. The very fact
that the railroads are resorting to ev,
cry means to prevent such legislation
is sufficient proof that they have been
practicing extortion and don't want
to lose the snap. They now quietly
but so it will leak out. threaten to re-
duce the pay of their employees in or
der to make good what they lose
from being deprived of the privilege
of holding up the small shippers of
the country. 1t is cOwardly sub
terfuge and one that should have nc
consideration by President Roosevelt
If their receipts are not quite as
large as they would be under the
practice of extortion, it will only affect
the annual dividends at the end OF
the year. Let the corpulent and opu
lent stockholders stand the loss.
While the railroad employees are
seeking to protect themselves, they
should remember that thousands OF
people all over the country are de
handing the legislation which they
are protesting against.

According to L. c. Cass, vice pres

According to l.. c. Cass, vice presl-
dent of the Chicago & Great Western
railroad. who was interviewed in Seat
tie recently. it is only question OF
time when the principal systems OF
the country will have Pacific terml-
nails. In order to open up new reg
ions and secure local business these
lines will hardly parallel each other
very closely in going through WyOm-
ing or Montana. A road passing be-
tween the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern, if such route through the
mountains is feasible, would tap a
fine stock growing, agricultural and
m'ning country in central Montana and
this region will not be overlooked
when the rivalry for a right of way
begins to warm up sufficiently to put
surveyors in the field. At present it
locks as if the Chicago, Milwaukee &
st. Paul would pass through Wyoming
tn the south of the Yellowstone park
in reaching out for the coast. But this
has not been fully determined.

THEN AND NOW.

Inter Mountain: Upon a decision
rendered by Judge Alton B. Parker
from the bench of the state court of
appeals in 1904, Tammany will base
its defense in the election contest pro
ceedings brought by w. r. Hearst.
Setting aside the merit of the respec-
tive contentious, it may be regarded as
fortunate for Mr. Parker and the ma
ton that a majority of the electors of
t.le United States could not see his
qualifications to act as president of
the United States. Since his defeat,
evidence before the New York state
assembly committee engaged in inves-
tigating insurance has indicated that
formerly Mr.. Parker busted himself
t, solicit campaign funds from insur-
ance managers--for Tammany. Now
he is held by Tammany as its chief
counsel in the Mcclellan Hearst may
crafty contest All this in the face
of his declaration year ago that he
owed Tammany nothing; that he was
rot, had not been and would not be
affiliated with Tammany, and that if
elected president. he should owe that
corrupt aggregation nothing Judge
Parker has fallen in the public esteem.

Out in California farmers who get
up before sunrise in the morning, or
wno work until after dark, hitch and
unhitch their horses, milk their cows
and do other Chores by the light of
electric lamps, says w. E. Curtiss.
Nearly all the farmhouses and stables
are lighted by electricity, and in near
ly every case it is generated from
streams flowing from the melting
SHOWS and the perennial springs of
the Sierra Nevadas and the Cascade
mountains. The plants are owned and
operated by local companies. wno dis
tribute the power and light over the
country by transmission wires. Ev-
cry village and small town is supplied
in similar manner. Hundreds of lit
tie factories and flour mills in vii
lagos and small towns are run by
electric power and the rates are so
low that every house and almost every
barn is lighted. A siXteen-candle pow
er burner costs 80 cents month, and
the price is reduced if a number of
lamps are used. The more man
takes the less he pays in proportion,
while the factories and mills, hotels
and large summer residences are me-
tered The New England states are
far behind California in the utilization
OF electricity for convenience and in
dustrial purposes.

LEWISTOWN. MONT. Nov. II, 1905.
ANOTHER "RATE" NUT TO CRACK.

The interstate commission has de-
cided to make an attempt to enforce
its second decision in the Chicago
Terminal cattle charge cases.
The commission held that any term
inal charge at the Chicago stockyaNls
in excess of 81 car was excessive
and unreasonable. AS the courts have
construed the commerce law, the de-
barren ideality The railroads may
serenely continue the unreasonable
rate, says the Chicago Record-Herald
The same may be said about anoth-
err important decision just rendered
ty tne commission. In the socalled
Texas cattle cases, which involve the
proprety of an advance made in 1903
in rates on live stock shipped to Chi
cago, ST. Louis and Kansas City, from
points in the state named-and other
Cattle states-and which seem to be
extremely intricate, the commission,
after carefully considering all the fac
tors and circumstances set up by the
parties. reached the conclusion that
the advance was unjust and unreason-
able, and that, consequently, the rates
now in force to the several points were
excessive and unreasonable.
1t does not follow that the railroads
will do anything on account of the
decision. They may stand pat. The
commission has no power to prescribe
a reasonable rate for future observ-
ance, the supreme court has said:
true, shippers are entitled to appeal
to the courts but after years Of cost
ly and fruitless litigation the pros
pect' of beginning all over again is
hardly alluring Meantime the old
rates are duly collected, and no relief
ultimately attainable is retroactive.
1t is well to give the courts chance
to restudy the whole question, but the
primary lesson is obvious. There must
be power in some administrative body
to order reasonable rates into force
in lieu of rates ascertained to be un-
just and excessive.

the past by the weight and force Of
his great personality wholly and dis.
tinct from his office as chief magis-

fact that there is no responsible gov

difficult for the United States or any

ing barbarities he would be only too
glad to act at once.
