McKenna, treasurer of the baHk;
Mr.. Ramsey simply uses his name
for convenience. You will end
many entries In Mr.. RamsaH's
name, but he has no interest In
them"
Besides using the name Of Ram
sey, Collins also masked his opera
tons behind two corporations of
his own, known as the Riverside
Land & Live Stock Co. and the
Collins Land Co. Operating through
these various agencies, Collins was
able to buy up such power sites as
had already fallen into private
hands, and to seize those remain
ing In government ownership.
The other branch of the power
trust In Montana is the group CEN
tering In the General Electric Co.
The General Electric controls all
the power sites in Montana on the
jefferson. Gallatin and Madison
rivers. By agreement the General
Electric took this and left the
headwaters Of the Missouri for the
Amalgamated crowd. Together
they form the power trust.
But after all there is perhaps
only one thing that Helena wonders
at. That is why 1t was that though

asked by Taft to resign on March 4.
Not knowing who the new secre-
tary would be, President Roose-
welt and Garfield decided to lock
all the doors so that the new ad-
ministration would find everything
snug.
Day and night the engineers
worked on their plats, and the last
thing President Roosevelt did at
midnight on March 4, was to with
draw more land, to the extent of
1876. 000.0 900 acres, from the reach of
land grabbers.
And the first thing Ballinger did

POWER TRUST WAS
PINNED FOR GRAB

But it was too late-the trust
had had warning and had had time.
The power sites, scores of them,
were grabbed
Right here it might be well to re-
mark that a water power site has
to be mighty small one not to be
worth a million dollars.
A political explosion will come
with the public knowledge that it
was after President Taft had or
dered Ballinger to withdraw GER
tain Montana lands, which he had
quietly recpened a few weeks be-
fore, that Amalgamated Copper Co..

FISH And GAME LAWS.
Changes in Fish and Game Laws. Fishing
Through the Ice Is Now Allowed.
Windham County's Trout Fish
ing Season TO Open April Is.

Many questions are being asked by
spOrtsmen relative to just what
changes were made in the fish and
game laws by the legislature in its
lengthy session. So many false starts
were made that many are puzzled to
know just what was actually done
Nearly every section of the game laws
came up for discussion but so far as
County Fish and Game Commissioner R.
l.. Frost knows only three changes
were made. The most important of
these was the provision that one deer,
with or without horns. may be killed
next season. This will allow hunter
to kill doe or an old or young buck.
Only one deer may be taken by an one
hunter, however The open season
on deer remains the same, the last six
working days in October.
Another important change is in the
trout law. The open season on trout
will begin April Is and will close Au-
gust in Windham county. This earlier
opening of the fishing season is in line
with the recommendations of the pa
pers throughout Windham county ant

MYSTERY NOW CLEARED

On Saturday, Feb. 13, at North

maple trees with view of sugar MAX

dead body of man, hanging by the
neck from one of the trees. Select
men c. o. Fowler and c. P. Hunt

the body, which was identified as that
Of Erdix Drown, who mysteriously
disappeared from his home on the
night of November 3. 1t seems that
Mr.. Drown appeared at the home of
an acquaintance in Cowansville, +.
O., on November s, five days after his
disappearance from home and being
in destitute condition and wishing
to return to North Troy return tick
ct was purchased for him. the ac-
quaintance intending to use the return
between North Troy and CowansviIle
at later day. This return ticket was
found in the pocket Of the dead man
and it is assumed that he had hung In
the position in which he was found
since November 8. The location OF
the body was at point about one-thIrd
of mile north of the station and only
few feet from the railroad, and it
seems strange that it should not have
been discovered before. Though the
finding of the coroner has not been
announced, there is little doubt that
it is clear case of suicide.
