She and her husband from whom she is
said to have been estranged. were at one
time active in the work of the same church
there in which Mr.. Hamnl is a prominent
member. She had since at different times
called on lawyers here with view to
bringing legal action against Attorney
Hamin for alleged wrongs she claimed
to have suffered at his hands
Attorney e. c. Riteher Of walsh's coun-
sci, also issued a statement relative to the
shooting on behalf OF Mr.. Hamill, in which
he said that the trouble grew out of
claim which Mrs. Motcalfe believed she had
against an estate in St. Louis and which
she wished TO have adjusted by Hamill.
In this connection Mr.. Ritcher said Mrs.
Metcalfe became a frequent caller at Ha-
mill's office during the last few years.

CARTER OBJECTS TO POLICY
Montana senator Bitterly ArraiEns
President Roosevelt for Posi-
tIOn ON Range.

HELENA, Mont, Jan. l5.-The policy of
the national administration with reference
to public lands was attacked today in the
convention OF the National Wool Growers
association here by Senator Thomas IT.
Carter OF Montana through an intermedi-
airy. The senator was unable to be present.
He expressed the opinion that the presi-
dent had been misinformed and that condi-
tions had changed greatly since he was a
resident of this state.
Senator Carter said in his paper:
The president, impressed with the idea
that the ranges were being destroyed by
those who occupied them, that commotion
and bloodshed marked the contentious of
rival claimants on the range, approved the
policy proposed by the chief forester, but
expressly disclaimed revenue raising as n
primary purpose. In his letter of February
H. 1907, to Senator Warren the president
favored local control OF the range in con-
junction with federal authority and as
serted that responsibility should not be so
defined that no one could be held RESPONSE
BILE which meant that I'm the last analysts
the office or agent Of the federal govern
ment should exercise supreme control.
Herein rests the vicious failure of the
proposed policy, as an agent Of the govern
ment from whose decision there would be
no appeal except to the officer under whose
directions he proceeded would determine
arbitrarily who should and who should not
enjoy range privileges.
The activity of the entire country and
the designs Of every ranCheT would be
made subject to the dictum OF the special
agent.

tary has given the matter serious consider

There are but four more days yet to pass before the doors of the Buck ingham hall will be thrown open to the public, and then for many nights there will be blissful times in that pretty hall But the one great and burning question is, have you and your friends affixed your signatures to any of the little cards of admission to the financial circle that each Elk has with him?

If you have joined the class or the classes, 1t may rebound to your great good. Just think of the happy time you will have when you go to your little home and tell your family that you have been declared in on the distribution O. the treasures from the Elks treasure house. That is just as likely to hap pen to you as to anyone else
