The action Of the Helena Commercial
club in adopting resolutions asking congress
TO give the interstate commerce commits
sion more power and memoralizing the
lax.making branch OF the government to
make an appropriation to be used in va'u-
ing the railroads, was in line with the ac-
ton taken at Spokane. policy TO be foi-
lowed by all interior cities. The decision
of the commerce commission in the Spo-
kane case is Of as great Importance to the
cities in Montana as il is to those in Wash
ing,on, and there are indications that all
the interior towns are going to stand to-
gether.
The Spokane decision was not unfair to
the railroads. The commission held that
lit is Of first importance that our railroad
service should be efficient. for just Ia pro-
portion as it is inadequate. industry must
suffer and commerce languish. II the pres
en-, system Of private ownership is to be
continued. sufficient iDdueement mus, be
extended to private investors
The commission found that between 1891
and 1907. inclusive. the Great Northern
accumulated surplus earnings Of SOL 200.
600. That is to say. ii has rolled up this
enormous sum in addition to operating ex-
penses. interest on its bonds. seven per
cent dividends paid on many millions Of
stock issued without any money considera-
tion." and vast sums taken out Of its earn
ings and put into improvements. the pur-
chase of immensely valuable terminals and
the increase Of its rolling stock.
The commission directs attention to the
significant fact these enormous sums were
rolled up by the Great Northern, over an
extended period which included the finan-
cial panics and hard times Of 1893 and 1907.
The Northern Pacific has had even fat
ter pickings. Between 1898 and 1907. in.
elusive. it amassed the gigantic surplus Il
SIS. 600. 600 in excess Of operating expenses.
interest on its bonds. taxes. the payment Of
big dividends on its stocks and vast sums
paid out in the reconstruction of its lines
and the increase of its rolling stock. The
Northern Pacific within the ten years was
converted from poorly built railroad to
one Of the best and most modern systems
in the United States.
II, as the railroads contend, says the
Spokesman-Revie~ they earn very littls
profit on the long haul to the terminals. il
must follow that these excessive earning:
have been taken from the people of the in
terror. The interstate commerce commits
sion could reach no other conclusion ane
rendered decision ordering the railroads
to moderate their excessive charges to Spo
kane and other interior points.

Major Samuel Walker Of Havre
Deports Last Of Swain Family
A Remarkable Case.

Major Samuel Walker. immigration IN
spectcr Of Havre. returned home this wees
from Letnbridge. Canada having concluded
his labors in the Swain case BY the putting
Of Mrs. Alex Swain back on Canadian SOIL,
saws the Havre Plaindealer.
The case is unparalleled in the records
Of the federal court Of the United States
and for that reason has been given woe
publicity in the eastern press. particularly
tina, Of Chicago. Mrs. Swain because OF
wild dissipation, is a pityful wreck upon
the sea of humanity: re, it requires no
great strecth of the imagination to under
$, and how this woman was once faeinas-
ingly irresistible in her charms. for, despite
a profligate life, there yet remain some
traces Of her pristine charms. and IN nef
sober moments-which arc few-the
flashes of conversation bespeak a mind
highly cultivated and enriched from study
A little more than quarter OF a century
ago a Young woman covered with honors
graduated from the ST. L ouis convent. Sa-
skatchewan province. Canada. She was
beautiful girl, having all the 60 and bril-
Iapcy of the French and with but a dash
of Indian blood in her vains. But it was
enough to e,ernally call her to tho love OF
the wild. Upon leaving the walls Of her
convent home me, Swain. wild spirit in
a wild country. and falling in love with
him, they were married and began gypsy
life. Since then she has known no home.
They have wandered all over Canada. and
through the northern part Of Montana. mi
grating like ducks From the union four
daughters we're born. and they we're cursed
with their mothers comeliness and her
spirit of adventure. Feeding an appetite
that came to her through the aboriginal
blood. Mrs. Swain sank in the human
scale to depths below human comprehen-
sion. Her daughters she trained in the
black art Of crime and they proved to be
apt pupils. From their earnings the old
woman stated her appetite for liquor.
Almos, year ago Major Walker had his
attention attracted to the family. and he
began work on the case. Different members
of the family were arrested. prosecuted
and convicted. John Schlitz. an Ameri.
can. had one Of her daughters. and he was
placed under arrest and given a Jail SEN
tence. Alter his release he went to Cana
da and married the woman and tried TO
bring her back into this country and con-
ferring the rights Of an American citizen
upon her. bu, the federal authorities re-
fused even then to give the girl admittance
to America.
Mrs. Swain converses fuently in a num-
Der of languages. speaking French. Ger
man. English, Spanish and several Indian
tongues.
Because Of the importance Of the case
Major Walker has received much favor
able publicity. and he has been entitled
to il all. for he had his official pathway
beset with difficulties. but he has modes,ly
borne his honors. and with the reticenee
that seems to pervade the service has re-
Trained from giving the case any publicity
