Montana comes right back at us.
Her university baseball team will be
here Wednesday and Thursday for a
Joint debate on the fair grounds dia-

wallopers.
Last week Idaho invaded Montana
and broke even in Missoula in two
hard-fought duels at short range. The
first bout resulted to in favor of
Idaho; the second 10 to 9 in favor of
Montana in IL innings.
This Of course left the question of
superiority in doubt and it is to
clear up the doubt that Montana comes
this week for double set-to. Wealth
er permitting it will be contest we'll
worth seeing.
Coach Edmundson gives out the
following tentative lineup for his
skirmishers: Barger, captain and
catcher; Brashears, Blackmer and
Retig, pitchers; Almquist, first; Chick
Evans, second; Gray, short; Nelson,
third; Grover Evans, Keane, Rem

ALASKAN MINES
RUINEDBv WATER
CAVE-IN MAY COMPLETELY DE.
STROY GREAT TREADWELL
PROPERTY

JUNEAU-Three mines in the ia
nous Treadwell group are practical
ly unworkable as a result of a cave-in
admitting the waters from Gastineau
channel. The lower workings are food
ed and the miners narrowly escaped
drowning. The mines are the richest
in Alaska These are the Alaska-Tread-
well the Alaska-United and the Alas
ka-Mexican. The outlook for resum-
ing work in these three great Tread
well units is considered practically
hopeless.
The Alaska-Treadwell which is in
corporated with 100000 shares at $25
per share, has produced $40,000,000
worth of gold since 1882, of which
$16,000,000 has been paid to stock
holders. The Alaska-United has paid
$12,000,000 to date, of which 49,
100000 has been paid to stockhold-
ers. The Alaska-Mexican has pro-
duced $4,000,000, Of which $3,O00,000
has gone to stockholders. The COM
bined property value is close to
$6,O00,0OO.

MEANS MURDER CHARGE

Hamlet H. Choat died at his home in
East Cove just before 1 o'clock this
afternoon from the effect of gunshot
wounds alleged to have been inflicted
by Homer B. McClung last Friday
morning.
Originally McClung was charged in
the criminal complaint filed against
him by Frank L. Moore, public prose-
cutor, with assault with intent to
commit murder" This afternoon, af-
ter learning of Choat's death, Mr..
Moore said the~charge would be chang
ed to murder"
This morning McClung was arraign-
ed before Judge Nelson in probate
court on the original charge. He was
accompanied by his attorney, A. H.
Oversmith, while County Attorney
Moore appeared for the state.
After pleading not guilty to the
charge McClung was placed under a
bond of $4,000 and May 1 at 1 o'clock
was fixed as the time for the prelim-
ir.ary examination.

ence to the bond, and no other steps

MAYORS POSITION
ON SEPTICsTANK
TELLS WHERE HE STANDS ON
WILDLY DISCUSSED PUBLIC
IMPROVEMENT

soThere seems to be some misunder-
standing relative to the position of my
self and the present council in refer
ence to the repairing and construction
of septic tank"
With this as an introduction Mayor
Gibson today made the following state
ment as to his position in this matter:
"The septic tank and filter bed
has been the source of considerable
ANNOYANCE on account of offensive od-
ors for some years past. This annoy
ance caused a suit to be filed and an or
der obtained from the court requiring
the city to repair or construct new
sewerage disposal plant to abate the
nuisance. The council in conformity
with the order issued by the court pro-
ceeded to determine the best method
to proceed. 1t obtained the services
of the assistant sanitary engineer OF
Spokane and others, and after making
an examination of the plant, they ad-
yised the abandonment of the present
disposal works and the construction
of a new plant about 1000 feet be-
low the present works. After dis
cussing the matter with several of the
large taxpayers of the city, the council
proceeded to follow out the recon-
mendations of the engineers. Since
that time there has been some obJec-
ton raised to locating the plant at this
point, and it has been suggested that
the plant be carried further to the
west. This has had some consideration
by the council, but inasmuch as this
suggestion would require the expend-
iture of approximately $25,0Oo more
than the site originally selected, the
council has hesitated about making
this additional expenditure. Tomorrow
a new council and mayor will be elect
ed. and as a candidate for election,
should be elected, 1t shall be my pur-
pose in the future as in the past to
carry out the wishes of the people
in this matter as in all others.

HE TELLS HOW HE
WOULD RUN CITY
JUDGE TRUITT, CANDIDATE FOR
MAYOR, FAYORS BUSINESS
ADMINISTRATION

In the course of statement as to
his position in city affairs Judge War
rem Truitt said today:
"I nregard to my policy and inten-
tions if elected wish to say that much
must be left to my best judgment as
different propositions are presented,
but am free to say that shall stand
for, and carry out the wishes of ma
jority of the people so far as consist
ent with the best interests of the city.
I believe that Grover Cleveland was
right when he said: "a public o ffice is
a public trust" and I shall give to all
city business fully as much care and
attention as I would give to my own
private business. I shall be in favor
of all necessary improvements but
careful in expenditures, and to the best
of nv abilities shall see that the city
gets full value for every dollar it pays
out. I shall favor paving wherever the
citizens of any district make proper
application therefor, and all other ne
cessary street improvements, but In
all city improvements 1 shall favor
giving contracts and work to our own
citizens as far as possible and proper"
In the matter of The septic tank
Judge Truitt said if elected he would
get the best information and advice
possible and then take the necessary
steps to get good sanitary septic
tank.
In the matter OF appointment to city
offices he said: eff elected I shall
appoint only men OF integrity and good
qualifications. I have made no
promises to anyone, and shall not
make any"

VOTE FOR SIX

Tomorrow Moscow will again
have a city election and the Star
Mirror takes this opportunity to
call the attention of the voters to
the fact that at the last session
of the legislature an amendment
was had to election laws.
Heretofore the residents of the
several wards have voted only
for cOunciIment of the ward In
which they resided. The law as
amended at the last session of the
legislature now requires that
they vote not only for cOunciImen
in their own wards but for two
cOuncilmen in each of the other
wards in the city.
Thus this amendment means
that each voter will cast his bal
lot for six cOunciImen in Mos
COW tomorrow instead Of two as :
heretofore.
