After one of the most sizzling cam.
paigns ever held in this city, the
whole citizen ticket was elected at
the municipal election Monday. The
most exciting contest was for the
mayors office for which H. T. May
field sought reelection, and J. E.
Boyle was the opposing party. May
field won by SO majority. He
carried the first ward by comfort
able margin. but lost out in the
second, which is Boyles' ward, and
received a landslide in the third.
There was considerable interest
stirred up over the election of a po-
lice magistrate and the election was
close, H. H. Carr winning over ]. P.
Hamill by only Is votes. Hamill car
ried the vote in the second ward,
but Carr gained his majority in the
other two, getting most OF his votes

new REGISTRATION
CAUSES CONFUSION
Many Mistakes in Check Lists Cause
Much Trouble at Election Booths

The new form of registration
caused lot of confusion at the
election Monday, as there were
many mistakes made in the regis
tration lists furnished by the county
clerk and recorder 1t kept the
city attorney. clerks and judges
of election in hot water all day try
ing to keep things Strengthened out.
The trouble was caused by people
who claimed to have registered their
names that did not appear on the
list at all. There was nothing that
the judges could do but refuse them
the right to vote Then the River
siders were in trouble. Many regis
tered before that part was made a
portion OF the city. therefore they
were not entitled to a vote. and
a number of people registered and
moved to another ward, but neglect
ed to register, and this caused more
confusion. r

in the third.
In the first ward C.M. Bonner was
elected alderman by only one major
fty, over E. o. Larter, and llad
the only other man in the
ward entitled to a vote been abla
to get to the polls it is said tie
would have been the result. The
contest was a most friendly one, as
there were no issues at stake to Gre
ate any special excitement.
In the second ward there was no
opposition to J. E. Skyles, so he was
reelected.
Edward Tenner went out in the
Third ward over J. j. Cremars by a.
comfortable majority. Mr.. Tenner.
will be the cnly new man on the.
new council, all the other officers
having been reelected j. ]. Johns.
whose term expired, refused to be a
candidate for another term.
c. H. Jennings had no opposition
for the office of city treasurer, and
had that job handed back to, him
again for another two years.
Election day passed off very peace
fully, in spite of the fact that there
was hard fight en-. The only trou.-
Bile seemed to be at the polls when
a number of people who claims to
have registered, found that they
were not on the check list, and thus
were not allowed to vote. This caus-
ed considerable irritation, but as
there was no way to remedy the
matter it soon blew ever, though it
is caused considerable comment.
Friends of H. T. Mayfield on the
one side, and these CT ]. e. Boyle
on the other, were busy all day hus-
Ting votes, and it is doubtful if
there was a man in town who had
registered that was not at the polls.
In spite of the fact that about 25
per cent of the railroad men were
out of town the vote was
not very heavy compared with the
registrations.

Next Saturday afternoon is the
school election, which should be Of
as much interest as the municipal
election was; even more so for the
women, as they will be permitted to
take a hand in this. The election
will be held in the school house, and
the polls will be open between the
hours of 2 and p. m. All per-
sons living in School District No.44,
men and women, who are qualified
and registered, will be permitted
to vote.
The election is for the purpose of
electing two trustees for the school
board, and there are three men to
choose from, DR.. H. E. Houston, to
succeed himself, and Merle C.Groene
and P. L. Forcum.
The question of whether or not
to sell the old school house site, the
proceeds to be applied on the pur-
chase of the new school houses, will
be submitted to the will of the vo-
ters.
The question of bonding the dis
trict for an additional sum will not
be voted On at this time, as this
can not be done until after the

GALE OF SCHOOL
LANDS IN MAY
All Lands for Which Applica-
tion Has Been Made Will Be
Sold Early Next Month.

This office is in receipt of a COM
munication from the state land offic,
at Helena, concerning the sale of
school lands to be held early in May.
This letter will no doubt be of great
interest to people in this vicinity, as
great many have made application
for school lands, and will be antici-
pating this sale. The letter follows
"Your letter of the 18th of jan
uary regarding sale in Flathead
county, was presented to the board

ton the board ordered sale to be

his property. The first two weeks
in May have been set aside for the

ELK SHIPPED TO
GLACIER PARK

A car load of 80 elk from Yellow
stone National Park were unloaded
at Belton Monday and turned loose
in Glacier National park. F. G.Doll
had charge of the shipment, and
only lost one on the trip. The an
imals were nervous and restless on
the car, and the one that died was a
little one that was trampled under
the feet of the others. 1t was orig
inally intended to ship As elk, but
on account of the lateness OF the
season this number could not be cap
tured.
The ground in the park is still
covered with three feet of hard
packed snow, which will make it
necessary for the park supervisors
to feed the animals for time until
shey get acquainted with their new
surroundings.

In spite CT the fact that the state

it will not come in time to use

CITY TO COOPERATE
CLEANING R|GHT.OF-WAY

The city council held it's regular
monthly meeting Tuesday night and
went over the work that will be nee
essary to be done this spring to get
things in good shape.
The treasurer's report showed q
cash on hand of $4,107.75 the first
Of April. The police judge report
ed that $3.50 had been collected as
fines during the month, and the re-
ceipts for water rentals were 1884,

l!nquent list to be 20 per cent of the
total receipts, and the water COM
missioner was instructed to enforce
the ordinance, and those who becam,
In arrears will have the water shut
off. The water commissioner was
also instructed to make an itemized
report each month of the financial
condition of the water department.
The matter of selling the extra
pumping engine, which is displaced
by the motor, was discussed and the
clerk was instructed to call for bids
on this. The city pumper was or
dered to build a shield over the belt
to the motor in the pumping station
to eliminate danger of any. accident
that might be caused by a person
falling into it when the motor is
started or running.
The matter of fixing up the cinder
path from the school house to Lake
side was discussed, and board
walk was considered too expensive
to build across the right-of-way with
no surety of permanency, SO the
street and alley committee was in
structed to get bids on having the
old walk covered with gravel, and
the board walk extended from the
school house 900 feet west.
The water committee was in
srructed to get together and estab-
lish rate for pumping water for
the Great Northern and also for fix
ing a lower rate.
y The finance committee agreed to
