Wool Shipments.

IT is estimated hat the shipments
OF wool out of Montana, for 1894.
amounted to 4,250,000 pounds, nine
tenths of which was taken over the
Northern Pacific railroad. The ship
ments in July and August amounted
to is per cent. of the whole. The
number and value of sheep, according
to careful estimates, are respectively
1896 and $1,693, l4S, representing
in the former instance an increase of
AT per cent. over the preceding year.
Every year the quality Of the fibre is
improved, and popularity follows in
the track. 1t is calculated that at least
70 per cent. of the clip of 1884 was
consigned to Boston merchants-Bos-
ton Journal of Commerce.

What He Thinks,

In a recent number of the Pioneer
Press, we find the following bit of
railroad intelligence which a gentle
man contributed to that journal:
| have no doubt Mr.. Hill intends
continuing his Devils Lake line west
to the Missouri. In fact, [ am posi-
tive that he will make such an extern
sion when the country is sufficiently
well populated as to demand it. My
reason for believing this is the fact
that Mr.. Hill owns a greater part Of
the water-power of the Falls of the
Missouri. I have been over the ex-
tension west from Crookston, and the
track SO far built is constructed in a
much more substantial manner than
any other on the Manitoba system.

ers one office seeker a crowd. His
preference is for the society of well
known friends with whom he can
talk without fear that his words Will
be distorted and published.
The crowd at the President recep-
lion yesterday was not as large as
usual. There were not more than two
hundred men, wornen and children
present when the big form OF the
President appeared in he East Room.
A careful calculator has estimated
that the President can dispatch just
forty per minute when he has a large
crowd on hand. A coup d'oeil showed
that the crowd was not large and
there being no occasion for haste, Mr.
Cleveland took it leisurely and was
nine minutes and fifteen seconds in
getting through. About the center
of the battalion Of visitors was a stout
loudly dressed woman who held a lit
tie girl baby by the hand. She had
brought it to be kissed by the Presi-
dent of the United States. AS she
grasped the Presidents hand she re-
marked, This is my baby" "And a
very pretty child it is, madam" re-
piled the head of the nation. "Andi it
is only two years old. Won't you
kiss it?" said the mother. The Presi-
dent looked at the crowd, looked at
the baby, and the smile faded from
his face. He whispered something to
the mother and she gave place to the
next in line.
Aboute half the crowd had shaken
hands when a pretty girl came into
the East Room at the entrance Of
which she saw Mr.. Atchison, the
dQorkeeper, who is a much handsomer
man than the President. At least the
young lady thought SO, for.she seized
his hand and shook it heartily. The
doorkeeper looked happy but confus-
ed as he explained to the young lady
he was not the President and pointed
out Mr.. Cleveland. Mr.. Atchison
says similar mistakes often occur, and
that n day an old lady kissed bis
hand and declared that he was the
first President she had seen in twenty
years.
Mr. Bayard is the only member of
the Cabinet who has been a long res
ident Of the Washington. He and
his family are thoroughly acquainted
with it's social life.
Mr.. Lanlar's residence here dates
from before the war, but there was an
interruption of about four years dur
ing which time he lived in the Con-
federate States Of America. He is,
however, q widower, and will take
little part in social affairs. The sec
rotary has quite as much society as he
can handle in the mob that calls on
him each day at his office in the In-
terror Department. Speaking of the
crowds that hang about his door, one
of the attendants Remarked: Il see
TIE same faces that I used to see
about here last spring. They seem to
have come back with new energy. I
suppose they stayed around here as
as they could stand their winter
clothes and now that the weather is
Sold they wearsthem back again"

Negligent But Honest.

The accounts of the late treasurer of
Silver Bow county, D. J. Welch, now
Internal Revenue Collector, are found
to be in rather a bad condition. The
experts who have just completed an
examination Of his books find that he
has failed to collect about $4,000 in
license, due the county from gamb-
lers, professional men and others.
While it is evident that Mr. WEIGH
has been negligent in his duties, yet
it is but justice to say that all county
funds which came into his possession
have been promptly turned over

The Gault Railroad Scheme.

The Gault railroad scheme has re-
vived; Sir Alexander having applied
to the Canadian parliament for per-
mission tie build a road into Montana
from some point in the dominion.
From what we are able to learn of the
prime mover. in this scheme we are
not inclined to take much stock in
him. Anyway northern Montana
don't want any iim-crow railroads.
