MONTANN's CORRUPTION.
In Clarl's Election Each Legislator
Had "A Fixed Price.

There is an unusual introduction to
the fourth iustalment Of The Story
If Montana" appearing IN the No
yember McClure's. The article opens
with a reprint of the memorial ad-
dress to the United states senate after
Clarks election, giving the names Of
Montana representatives, together
with the prices at whirh 1t charge.

and figures is more impressive than
any comment.

he writes. This man-huntiEg had
its intcXicaIion, and the chase once
begun, it made its own impetus and
developed into a kind of frenzy. If

or an eXisence in his circumstances,
Elark's generals found it, Ills debts,
his inGiscretions in conduct, his best

Many striking stories of thls con.

almost every variety of temptation

on every ballot because "it was
matter of bread ana butter to me
and my family" to w. W. Beasley

a thing to let 20 by" the majority of
the legislators fell in line. A few
whose honor was incorruptible held
out against every inducement the
Clark men could offer, and their cases
shine out in brilliant contract to the
general somberness of the narrative.
Mr.. Connolly describes the scenes
of Clark's election; the republican
stampede; the dramatic speeches de-
livcred on both sides; and the free
bacchanala with which
the city of Helena celebrated Clarke
triumph.

Umatilla county spOrtsmen viii be
interested in knowing that the pro-
lection of game in Oregon is costing
the people of the state in the neigh
borhood of $4,000 a year. This is
probably many times the value of the
game the people enjoy as a possible
result of the system of protection
which has proven so costly.
The greater part of the expense is
for the per diem and travelling eX-
penscs of deputies, of whom there
are about so, devoting their time and
skill to the protection of wild game
from the depredations CT pot hunters
The deputies receive 50 per day and
their actual expenses while on duty
The expenses usually run from 81 to
50 a day.
Some OF the deputies put in their
entire time searching for violators of
the game laws. Others have employ
ment in private business and devote
their spare time to the service of the
state, charging in their account only
for such time as they spend in pros
tecting game. Practically all of the
S2S,o0O will go TO the payment of
deputies and their expenses.
The special game fund derived from
the hurters' licerse fee and fines col
lected from violators Of the game
laws. The license fees last year ag-
gregated $1,000 and are expected
this year to amount to 100000. The
remainder O fthe fund is derived from

the deputies and their expenses shall
be paid from this fund and thar the
expenditures shall not exceed in
amount the total Of the fund.
