Kendall, Montana, April 21, 1903 KENDALL CHRONICLE Published weekly where the big mines are situated. good ways to see that properties are operated economically and profitably.\ It is evident the railroad people have a card up their sleeve that they will play at the proper time, E.

SUBSCRIPTION HATES: One Year • $2.00 Six Months $1.23 Pay in advance and avoid the disagreeable dunning letter. The Plumbers' Hold -Up Game Plumbers throughout the country have acquired a reputation for charging high prices for their' work, but the Spokane plumbers lead them all. Every other master plumbers' associa- tion in the United States must take off its hat to the Spokane society when it comes to forcing high prices for their work. There is a section in their by-laws providing a to per cent. consolidation \jackpot\ says the - Spokane Review. Under this section, every member must report every bid made on plumb- ing work. Thereupon the association takes all the bids on each particular piece of work, strikes an arkrage of them, and requires the successful bid- der to pay .to the association a sum equal to io per cent. of the average bid. Opportunity is presented here for any member tolead a life of luxury and ease. In this way :—Ten members, for iltustratio; are bidding on a $loo job. There is nothing in the contract, however, to prevent one of the ten bid- ding $io,o'ou — rl that case tile isggrea gate bid would be about $ro,000, and to per cent, of this sum, 6r $1,o90 would have to be paid into the pool by the successful bidder tor division among the unsuccessful members, and this, cut up among io members, would give each $109. At first blush this might seem tough on the successful bidder, but it must be rembered that he can play even and a little better by taking it out of the man who lets the contram. There seems to be no limit to the \velvet\ that can be woven under this scheme. Nine members can bid $1o,- ooc each as readily as one, thus provid- ing a jackpot sufficient to give every suc- cessful bidder $1,o90 instead' of $1o9. All that is needed is one successful bidder and one property owner who will.stand the gaff. The Merger Knocked. The decision of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, as rendered at St. Paul a few days ago is adverse to the railroad merger, and the position taken by the government is sustained. The decision is an important one, and while the case will go to the United States Supreme Court for final hearing, it is the opinion of eminent attorneys that the Court of Appeals ruling will be sustained. What will be the effect if the final decision is favorable to the government? J. Pierpont Morgan dropped a significant remark a few days ago. He said: \When railroad men know exactly how the law is to be interpreted they will probably find More sensational evidence in tile St. Louis boodle scandal is reported every few days. If this keeps up Mis- souri will soon not have one prominent citizen that is above suspicion. Senator Clark is asking.for a street railway frara hise in Los Angeles, cov- ering 84 miles of streets. As an in- ducement for the city council to grant him the right he promises a 3 -cent fare. The editor of the Shelby Indepen- dent offers to loan a few hundred dollars at low interest on good sezusity. The business men of Shelby appreciate the value of advertising and their local paper receives a liberal patronage. A gambler na med Armstrong jumpea from the Monroe -street bridge, into the river at Spokane the other day, with suicidal intent. It is hardly necessary to state that his wish for death was gratified. Those who seek for an end of earthly troubles at this point have no difficulty in finding it. The principals in the Neilson -Van- derbilt wedding received $200,00c worth of ores( nts. Now if the lucky couple can raise enough money to secure a little firewood there is iro eaaon Why they thntild not be able to go to housekeeping at once. lithe 'president of the United States was in quest of an opportunity for roughing it, his ambition surely ,is going to be satisfied. Snowbound and severe always at this season of the year, it transpires that the park has deeper snow and harsher weather than is the average within its boundaries during the month of April. The President is safe for a time at least. He is in the heart ot the Yel- lowstone Park, and every trail leading to his camp is carefully guarded by soldiers so that no \leading citizens\ can reach him. After a good rest be may be able to withstand the recep- tions that await him along the line of his Pacific and Northwest tour. James J. Hill, the railroad magnate, did a smooth piece of work when he merged the Eastern Minnesota railroad with the Great Northern. It appears that the profits of the Eastern Minne- sota line were so large that Hill was afraid to make them public for fear the Minnesota railroad commission would force him to reduce rates. As it is now, the profits of the smaller road are put in with the Great Northern's pro- fits, and just how much that particular branch is making is not given to the public. James C. Stewart, who first made the British workmen hustle in building the great Westinghouse works at Man- chester, is now giving the London con- tractors an object lesson in lightning methods of constiuction at the great electric power works for the Metropoli- tan railway. The tallest chimney stack in London is growing up at such a rate as to make English rivals gasp with amazement. It is to be finished in two months, while under an English contractor it would take nearly eight. Mr. Stewart says: \It is all done by kindness and good wages for good work.\ It is refreshing to know that Uncle Sam at least, can dictate to the giant railroad companies. The Great North- ern roadbed is in the way of the pro- posed large irrigation reservoir near Malta, Montana, and Uncle Sam has ordered the railroad to build their tracks some other place. The Great Northern will probably obey without any serious kicking. The result of the spring elections in the East is somewhat mixed. In some cases the Republicans won in Demo- cratic sections, and then again the Dettocrats took a fall out of the Re- publicans, when the latter felt certain of winning. Tom Johnson was re- elected Mayor of Cleveland, and that puts him in line for the governorship of Ohio. If Johnson was not so radi- cal in some of his political and econ- omic views he might stand a good chance for being the Democratic nom- inee for the Prtsidency next year. But that organization seems to be looking for a man of conservative views; the leaders—the men of wealth and finan- cial influence in the party—have grown weary of Bryanism and all it stands for, and now propose to cut loose from the policy that the party followed dur- ing the last two presidential contests.
