President Delivers Long-Ex-
pected Speech in Insur-
gent State.
BEST EVER PASSED."
+ DECLARES SPEAKER
Little Mercy on Opposing Repub-
licans-Speech Believed Just
a Beginning.

President Taft's tariff speech al
Winona, Minn., the home Of Repre-
sentative Tawney, on Friday even
ing, was a defense of his course in
signing the Aldrioh-Payne bill, and
q defense of the bill as a substantial
compliance with the Republican
platform pledges and his own as
sqrances to the country in his cam
paign speeches.
The speech will start the most
animated tariff discussion the new
legislation has thus far called forth.
The middle West, for the winning
back Of which the present tour of
the President has been in consider
able measure undertaken, does not
accept these conclusions. Its repre-
sentatives in Congress largely op-
posed the measure, especially in the
Senate The President not only in
dulgeS no ''perfidy and dishonor"
suggestions, but boldly declares the
bill the best ever passed.
DRAWS OUT CRITICS.
The very boldness Of the declara-
tion viii force the critics of the
legislation TO like boldness in their
comments on II. The President has
plainly indicated the view that men
who, calling themselves Republi-
cans, voted against the bill. are not
entitled to the name. That makes
the issue sharp and clear, with the
President and Senator Aldrich on
one side, and the insurgents Of the
Middle West on the other.
In his last speech before the
Senate voted on the conference re-
port Senator Aldrich solemnly
talked Of having on other occasions
seen men leave the Republican
party, and indicated, as the Sena-
torial leader of the party, that he
considered that the men who were
about to vote against the bill we're
going TO withdraw from the party.
To this Senator Beveridge made
vigorous retort, denying that the
particular bill about TO be voted
upon would be permitted 10 become
q test of party faith and allegiance. /
Attack Is Indirect.
President Taft does not so directly
attack the position Of the men who \
voted against the bin. But he does
most earnestly support those who took
the other course, and voted for the
bill despite its defects. He SAYS he
does not defend them: he supports
them. The things he will say IN other
tarth-insurgent States will be awaited
with the keenest interest for the effect
they may have OF further developing or
possibly modifying the eject Of the Wi
oona declarations.
The effect OF the Republican partv's
prospects in the middle West. where
sentiment against the new tarin is
strong. IS certain 20 bs important Wbat
L will be can only be coniertured AZ

-atives who voted and fought against

City Council Organizer
and Transacts Busi-
ness for First Time
JAMESON APPOINTED CLERK
New Council viii Have Much
to Look After-J. M. Pyles
is Appointed Marshall.

Roundup is now full f1edged
city in every respect, the first city
council having organized last night.
Mayor Newton and the alderman
have all qualified and filed their
oaths Of office with the county clerk,
and they are now duly authorized
to transact the business of the
municipality. The meeting last
evening was held in the office of
VIM. j. Jameson, who has been an
pointed city clerk by Mayor Newton.
No other appointments have been
made with the exception of J. nj.
Pyles as city marshall.
The meeting last evening was
simply to organize. However some
business was transacted, among
which was the granting Of license
to Gollmar Bros. circus, and the
passing Of an order defining the
standard sidewalk. On Main street
and Railway avenne the walks are
to be made twelve feet wide and on
the other streets eight feet.
The application OF James U. Grid
ley for franchise to construct
operate and maintain an electric
lighting system, and also a franchise
for water system, were received,
but no definite action was taken in
this matter. The regular meeting
of the council will be held Monday
evening at which time it is expected
that the council will set date for
a special election to decide the fran.
chise question. The matter Of
granting franchises rests with the
property holders of the city who
decide for or or against by an elec-
ton called for that purpose.

happens on Sunday, and no effort
will be spared to make it the most
pretentious affair Of its kind in this
section of the state. The Fair AS
sociation will endeavor to raise APP
proximately 81 900 to defray the
expense of the celebration. If pre-
mission can be secured, the COM
pany ground south Of the track and
west OF the tipple will be converted
into fair ground where the athletic
events will be pulled off. 1t is now
planned to have the horse racing on
Main street. However, things will
not assume definite shape for sew
eral weeks, and the program will
not be announced until the fore
part of next month. In the mean
while make arrangements to come
to Roundup to celebrate the natal
day, as we are going to show you
a riproaring, good, old-fashioned
time.

cations for franchises were received
which are of great moment to the
people Of Roundup. Both franchises
are being asked for by James U.
Gridley Of the Roundup Coal Min
ing Co., the one being for an cleo
trio light plant and the other for a
water system. No action was taken
on the applications at the meeting
but it is understood that the matter

sion of the council to be held Mon
day evening. A special election
will have to be called to decide the
question of granting the franchises,

this cut down to Is years.

so or more, each " 1900
Incandescent lamps on meters
for residences per kilowat zoe
Incandescent lamps on meters for
business houses per kilowat 15c
The application also provides
that the company shall be entitled
to make minimum charge of
$3.50 per. month for any place of
business in which lights are placed,
and that active operations in the
way Of setting poles and stringing
wire in the city will be begun with
in ten days after the franchise is
granted.
The second application provides
for the following maximum rates if
the franchise is granted:
Four-room dwelling, per
month $500
Less than four rooms, per
month 2.25
Over four rooms, Csc per room extra.
Private baths per month 100
Water closets :" 8 rs
Sprinkling, $1.75 per month for
each 25-foot lot for the months of

Mayor Pro Tem. Miller presided at
the regular meeting Of the city counci
Thursday night owing to the absence
of Mayor Kimball who was called &c
the southern part of the state on min
ing business, and he was twenty
minutes late in getting the solons to-
pether. But something started when
he opened the exercises. 1t took but
fraction of time to approve the MIN
utes Of the previous meeting and to
receive the monthly reports OF the
off GERS, after which something was
doing every minute.
Robert Earheart asked that a beer
permit be granted for the Portland
hotel, giving the assurance that the
owner OF the property was prepared
to make improvements on proper
{ ty amounting to several thousands
of dollars, but the fact that the
hostelry was within the prescribed
limits. within 100 feet Of school
house, the proposition was not serious
| ly considered.
| A. E. Ross was present and asked
that the sewer committee look after
sewer conditions in his locality, and
the committee was called upon to abate
the nuisance.
The public Comfort station was
discussed at some length, the council
being divided as to the most convenient
location and the matter was disposed
of by leaving the question to the sewer
! committee with power to act. The two
sites include the present band stand
and in the rear of of the city park,
Bids for the building of the cross
walks, were received, and after more
or less discussion, the contract was
given to E. A. Erickson.
But one bid was received on the
specifications of improvements at the
Jackson monument and it was decided
to postpone the matter until other con-
tractors were heard from.
The water committee and the COM
mittee on building the bridge and path
way to the city park reported progress
but both reports failed in detail.
The Hargreaves sidewalk matter
was discussed at some length but was
finally disposed by resolution that
the street supervisor be instructed to
notify all delinquents that they would
be at once compelled 70 comply with
the ordinance, build their sidewalk or
the city would build it for them and
tax the costs against the property. A
report of the findings Of the com
mmissioner will be received at a spe-
eial meeting Of the council next
Thursday night.
The usual monthly bills were al
lowed.
