MAYOR sCALLON NTERFERRs

Mayor Scallon places himself In a
peculiar position by going to Wallace
to lobby with the council OF that city
in the interest of a private corpora
ton asking for a franchise. Under
the conditions existing in this city,
with dissatisfied citizens circulating
q petition TO the mayor and city
council asking them to require the
Interstate Telephone company to
comply with Its franchise. ii is sur
prising that our mayor would come
out so boldly in Wallace as the lobby
list for the company in that city. A
private citizen might consistently go
to another city in the interest OF a
corporation asking a franchise. or an
attorney might represent his com
pany. but for city Official OF one
place TO 90 70 another city on such
q mission Is unprecedented and out
Of place. How can .dayor ScaIlon
pass upon the merits of the petition
which is to be presented to him
when he is on record as the repre-
sentative to the company whose
franchise Is in question:
In Wallace the merits OF the
franchise does not concern the peo-
pie Of this city personally and is a
matter purely local to Wallace and
u the people Of that city want two
phone systems the Interstate viii
give them good service. The only
complaint our citizens have Is that
local rates should be adjusted accord
Ing 70 the terms OF the franchise.
They are petitioning for this and we
do not anticipate opposition from the
company. because Il will undoubted-
~ be willing TO live up to its con-
tract.

Shortly before the assassination OF

wing OF the so called Radical party OF

conspIrator against the government"
According to ChaRas' own story. he
did not consplre against the govern
ment. but against Dictator Franco,
the man whom contradictory views
now class rs the tool Of the late king
and again as the kings boss" Cha.
gas says that Franco was the kings
tool. After the tragedy Queen Ameile
insisted that Franco step down and on

IN the tragedy enacted before our eye.
To quote from pen picture 81 IL,

no means complex. He is d Sly rogue
Of headlong and masterful nature But

era or our race. He IL a type essentially

not without certain intelligence and
certain frankneas that lends TO his words
the appearance Of high sense OF honor
and loyalty. This quality OF specious
eandoF has opened to him a path to pow
or and has enabled him 10 keep his hold
upon H. These gifts have led every one
who co-operates with him TO acknowledge
the overwhelming power OF his person

Furthermore. the writer says that

corrupt minister in the history OF Por.

distribution OF favors In the shape OF
peerages. state Offices. positions in the
state bank and other fat Sinecures. In
fact, this critic says that he began to
corrupt even King Carlos himself. the
monarch who in the same article Is
accused OF using Franco as a tool.
Chagas gave one anecdote to show
what desperate adventurer King Car

says that Franco was wont to declare
that II he ever reached the summit OF

FULTON MAKES DENIAL
Says He Did Not Criticise President
Roosevelt.


WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. U.s.
Senator Fulton of Oregon has pre-
pared a statement, which is signed
by himself and Ankeny, Piles, Flint
and other senators present, denying
that he attacked the president at the
Ankeny hotel. Senator Fulton af--
firms that he merely discussed the
wisdom of utterly departing from the
system of responsible party supervi-
sion in national affairs, pointing out
the danger to the republic which he
thinks lies in abandoning the party
system, and affirmed that it is better
that party organization be main
tanned, that policies adopted may be
consistently pursued, or if altered,
the changes be through organized
means, rather than by the initiative
Of one man, or a very few men.
The dinner was conceived by SEN
ator Ankeny solely to acknowledge
obligations for party support already
given the Alaska Yukon-Pacific ex-
position in congress and, If possible,
forward the enterprise to ultimate
success. Those present say his in
Productions were absolutely colorless,
with not a tinge of politics or any
intimation that the function was any
thing but social. Senator Ankeny
did not even refer to the fair in in
Producing the speakers, but the gen.
eral understanding was that EXPOSE
ton interests were to be forwarded
by the dinner. Justice to Senator
Ankeny, they say, seems to demand
making it plain that no word of his
justified the criticism, or even refer
ence to politics, or any official of the
government.

JAPs ENTER BRITISH COLUMBIA
Law Passed by British Columbia Is
Turned Down.

VICTORIA. b. c., Feb. 25.-The
court Of appeals, consisting OF Judges
Irving. Morrison and Clement. this
afternoon upheld the decision Of
Chief Juice Hunter, that the Natal
act passed by the British Columbia
government was imperative as far
as Japanese were concerned, because
OF the treaty existing between Japan
and Great Britain and made appli-
cable to Canada by a dominion act
of parliament.
The judges OF the appeal court
rendered the decision after hearing
the argument OF Robert Cassidy. ap-
pearing on behalf Of the province of
British Columbia. without calling
upon the counsel for the dominion
government to make an argument.
The Natal act imposes an educa-
tional restriction of immigrants.
The judges stated that reasons for
their decision would be given tomor-
row. Mr., Cassidy argued that the
dominion government. not having
the power to make treaty indie
pendently, had the power to sanction
the Anglo-Japanese or any treaty.
and, anyhow. the act of the dominion
government approving the treaty did
not make it substantive law.

ment consul, followed the proceed

business is not, relatively, greater than has been Mr.. Kings
success in gold mining. Supporting Mr.. King is a staff OF al
ministrative officials and company directors who are unre-

Mohawk when it was producing most tremendously, and has

pany, in its Helena, Mont, Offices. M. Scheeline, treasurer of
the company, is the most experienced and astute banker in

That Rawhide Coalition is destined to be America s lead
ing gold mining property before another two years are passed
sour firm opinion, and we base that opinion upon the follow
ing grounds:
LIST. The proved and producing mines on this estate nave
already demonstrated an unsurpassed area and richness OF
liberalization, and as development work is prosecuted on
the known lodges and veins which traverse this area the
value and number of these mines will rapidly increase. Two
months ago the Grutt Hill Mint, Grutt Hill Coalition ana
eutt Mining Company leases on Coalition ground were mere
ing of them ON a regular producing basis in two months, is a
record seldom equaled, and with the Proskey lease NO. | ana
No. !, the Victor, the Miller, the Burns, Gold Hill ana others
on the Coalition estate working toward positive proving up
N the same manner as were the Mint, Coalition ana Grutt
leases when they were prospects, the next year shoulo see
more big producing mines on Coalition ground than o n tine
ground of any other single mining company in America.

dependent Of every other corporation on the face of the
globe. 1t is a gold mining corporation having no entanghng
alliances, and contemplating nothing beyond the full develop
ment of its vast acreage, except the early construction OF a
mill of adequate capacity to treat the ores extracted from
its ground. This corporation owns its ground free OF any and
all membranes. Its success depends wholly upon the ex
traction of ore, and cannot be influenced by market fuetua-
tons, by periods of panic, by crop failures, by money strins
gencies, or by any of the other things that contribute to the
success or failure of enterprises of another character. With
its ground absolutely proved up for a great area and for pine
nomenai richness, it faces the dawn of the dividend-paying
epoch with entire serenity, confident that once dividends are
started nothing foreign to the property can stop them. All
that has been said above of the independence of the gold
miner applies to the Rawhide Coalition Mines Company, ana
applies with double force, for Rawhide Coalition represents o
proved and producing series Of mines, not one of those pros
poets which represents the gamble that goes with the search
for gold. Rawhide Coalition has the gold, has it in vast guam
titles. and before another three months are passed the output
of gold from this property alone promises to almost equal the
entire mineral production of the famous Tonopah district.
