. For correct conception of these con

state. The three stara In the great
Montana drama are Clark. Daly and
Helnse.
Sou Pioneer Xlstory.
, W. A. Dark arrived In Montana dur-
- Ins the placer excitement of '12. Prior
to this he had put In a year In Colo
rido and had a good understanding of
Ufa on the frontier. He had studied
law and taught school In Iowa, and wna
ihrewd. polished and vain, with an am
bition to accumulate money and control
incn. His services as lawyer or
' teacher not being in demand, he turned
his attention to driving bulls into the
camps and selling the meat to the
miners. lie opened a small Store and
wold supplies to the prospectors at
cnormWis prices, and traded whisky and
tobacco to the Indians for fur. He
made money in the business and at the
fame time acquired interests In some
valuable mining properties. One of his
mining partners was Marcus Daly.
When Butt became an established
camp Clark branched out from being a
dealer in general merchandise, beef and
whisky, into the more genteel life of a
banker, which wna more in accord with
his tastes. He began the business of
buying gold and shaving notes in i
1 tent, and out of this beginning has de
veloped the Clark bank, the heavy finan
cial ally ef the Amalgamated Copper
company. From his humble beginning
a u banker, Clark made the most of the
brilliant opportunities In a rich and
growing state.
. . Ho kept himself before the public,
and in 188 was the president of the
constitutional convention; he was ap
pointed commissioner to both the Cen
tennial and New Orleans expositions,
and in 1KK8 he entered politics as a can
didate for congress on the Democratic
ticket, but waa defeated. .In 1890 he
made fight for United States senator,
claimed he was elected and went to
Washington to take his position, but
was denied a seat. He instituted con
test, but Inter when the methods were
exposed by which he had secured hia
alleged election he resigned. In 1891 he
vas elected senator by the legislature,
which position he still holds. Clark!
has spent years In hla own education, j
jcarnlpg a half dozen different lan-,
KUages, he haa traveled the world over,
H a fine musician, a' connoisseur on art
and hs hobnobbed with royalty.
Daly an Opposite Stature.
The late Marcus Daly waa as differ
ent from his old-time partner as it is
possible for two men to be. The only
Greet Falls also aspired for the honor
and an election was held with the five
cities In the field, but owing to charges
and counter charges of corruption and
unfairness tbs election waa declared
void. The nest year the, fight again
cam up. but had simmered down to
Butte and Anaconda. Clark realised
that the miners would ail vote accord
ing to the wishes of their Idol, Daly,
and that Butte would be defeated and
his rival would win. He started a boom
for Helena, which was more nearly In
the central part of the state, and by
enlisting the farming and railroad vote
of the northern part of the state ha won
out. The Butte Miner, Clark's paper,
took up the fight and a fierce war of
words lusutd with Daly's paper, the
B lands id of Anaconda. Daly, to lend
dignity t his town, erected a great
hotel ' and opera bouse, built a race
track, parks and fountains to make , It
more desirable place for. the legisla
ture to convene In case the rspltol was
located there." "There waa not a voter
In Montana who , would accept money
that did not get plenty of It for his
vote. .'

When the light of the copper kings
was at Its hottest Helnte appeared on
the scene. He, was. young, bright, ag
gressive ii nd ambitious. He whs a law

west barked with money and experience
of Beacon street In Boston. The money
of Bencon street had been made In the
Lake Superior copper mines, the Hecla.
Calumet. Tamarao and Red Jacket.
These properties had been worked on the,
slow, sure basis of a farm. -and the de
velopment of the Montana properties
was seriously affecting the monopoly of
the copper market which the Lake
Superior mines firmly held.

He commenced a legal fight, secured

bitter enemy.
Clark and Xelase Combine.
With Dly as the common enemy
Clark and Helnse combined to crush
their opponent. Helnse In his work In
the Daly properties figured out some
apexes In the Rarus and Pennsylvania
mines. There were apex laws In the
state but Daly had control of the courts.
The plotters formed an alliance to cap
ture political control of the state. Tula
would give Helnze a chance to "apex"
Daly out- of several millions and would
gratify the political ambitions of Clark.
Helnxe defeated Daly In' the litigation
snd Clark went to the senate.
About this time the Kothachllds
bought the- Daly property,, and the
"coal oil crowd bought heavy Interests
from Clark. Clark and Helnse had
gained practical control of the copper
market of the world. Clark's United
Verde In Arizona, worth untold mil
lions, waa the tramp card which made
easy their manipulations.
Clark did not stay by Helnxe. and
when he aaw an opportunity to fortify
his position cast him off as he had
Daly before him. Helnse took up the
fight against Clark where Daly had left
off. Helnse realised that he must de
pend for success In his fight upon the
control of the politics of the state. He
was politician enough to see that the
path to victory was through the West
ern eaerauon or Miners, who con
trouca tne votes. He made an agree
ment with them that If they gave him
control he would give them an eight

Then Clayton sued Davles for $10,000

A suit Involving the right to a news
paper delivery route, brought by F., E,
and L. J. Harlow, against the Oregonlan
Publishing Co., Is on trial before
Judges Cleland, George and Sears, In a
olnt session of the state circuit court
today.
The route In dispute Is the territory
south or Alder street, which the Har
lows claim by virtue of a contract ex
ecuted Nov. 4, 1864 between the Morn-
ng Oregonlan and Myron M. Southwtck
which later came into possession of the
Harlows. :i - ' .
By the terms of the contract South-
wlck was to have, the right to all the
territory south of Alder street for the
consideration of $350 ' to be paid in
weekly Installments of $S each. The
contract changed hands a number of
mes and eventually came into, the pos
session of the Harlows.
In 1901 the publishers of the Oregon
lan refused to continue the contract, on
the ground that the Oregonlan Publish
ing Co., a corporation succeeding the
Morning Oregonlan, did not assume the
letter's contracts, and accordingly-nor
tilled the Harlows that they would place
their own carriers In the field.
A restraining order from the court Is
aaked by the Harlows.

amounting to $315, Is paid up. To this
the vestry agrees, so there will be a new
