About year ago V. B. Stone, Ct
Crystal Greek, traded his land in this
county for land in Michigan. After Il
short stay IN that State, he is ROW here
again, and it is reported that he is going
to sue for the recovery of title to his
Kansas land on the ground of lack OF
consideration. Is it not better to go a
little slow on such trades ? No man
who has once lived in this country would
ever be satisfied to go back into the
mud swamps of Indiana and Michigan.
This is not the first of these foolish
bargains. Mr. Carr, the purchaser, We
understand, is on his Phillips county
farm and proposes tostand by it, and
We do not blame him for wanting tc
make the change. provided he made
no misrepresentation in the case.

The independent" of Februa y 10,
slobbers all over our worthy Register of
the U. S. Land Office, Hon. T. NJ.
Helm. When we look back a short
time when Mr.. Helm was compelled to
appeal to the courts to protect himself
from the ISLANDERS Of the Smith County
Pioneer, and which slanderous reports
seemed to furnish congenial diet for this
same paper. we are led to enquire why
is this thusly and can 1t be possible
that there is any connection between
the fact that the Greenback organ gets
all the final proof notices from the U
S. Land Office, and this agonizing sup
port of the "anti-mOuopoIy" organ
Who can tell?

We understand that the great and
good apostle of monopoly (anti) has
caught it from Gould and Vanderbilt,
aud now he pools with the lawyers on
the land business on the basis that the
Greeuback organ gets dizzy in the
way of monopoly of the Land Office
notices. Gould and Vanderbilt buy up
or freeze out all the competition they
can and then pool with the balance.
Is there any perceptibl5 difference. II
we wer, 20 answer this que ton, We
should say that if Lamb & Co, had the
money and brains, the difference would
not be visible to the naked-eye.

prominent wool dealers of Boston:
BosroN, June 1, 1888.
Mr.. d. ". Beck, Fort Benton. Mont.::
DEAR Montana woods are very
popular in this market, but there is good
deal of wool sold here as Montana that
was raised in Idaho and Wyoming, the
wool depending upon the popularity OF
the name to sell it. The result has been
this last season to suspect wool coming
from your territory. A great many sheep
have been driven into your territor,
growing an inferior conditioned wool, and
the first shearings have been sent here a,
Montana wool, which tended to depreciatt:
the true character of your acclimated
| wool.
Fine and fne-medium wools are tlsr
best to produce for the present wants @.
manufacturers.
Your territory offers grand inducements
for sheep husbandry.
Very respectfully,
