TENDER AUSTRALIAN WOOL.

The climate in Australian is so liable to
sudden change from wet to dry, and of
ten with disastrous results,-for a dry
time, long continued is sure to produce
tender weol,-for just the length of time
the drouth continues, and this can be cor
rectly measured, and the length of time Of
drouth estimated by q careful eSamina-
ton of the fibre.
A drouth may continue the entire sum
mer, and thousands of sheep may die, as
is often the case, but the wool Of the
survivors keeps on growing just the
same; but like any half-staryed crop, it is
spindling and weak while the dfouth con
tlnues, and the result is tender wool
through the entire fleece during the time
the sheep were suffering from hun
ger and thirst caused by the droutll.
The soil of Australia has nothing to do
with its tender wool, as there is no better
region on the face of the earth on which
to produce eitherepure megiao or cross
bred wool. The tender Australian woods
are just what manufacturers must look
out for otherwise great loss in the process
OF manufacture will follow.
The two other dangers to encounter in
these woods are barrs aud dead tip, which
is greatest in exceedingly wet easons.

The stock1nen of what is known as the
Chestnut roundup comprising the extern
sive scope Of country reaching from the
mountains at the head of the Chestnut
valley on the west to Belt creek Oh the
east, and lying between the Missouri river
and the Belt range of mountains, have
found it necessary to take measures to
protect their stock from the rayages Of
the wolves and coyotes, which are in
creasing in numbers at an alarming rate,
and should the coming winter prove to
be exceptionally severe, the loss will be
heavy from this cause, as every weak ami
nal will fall IN easy prey. The means
decided upon by the stockmen is to form
an association Of ali men engaged in the
different branches of stock raising with
in the boundaries of the above territory.
The fee will be 81 for each man owning
less than $4,000 worth of stock, and pro
portionately more for those owning a
larger amount 1t is proposed to offer a
bounty of 81 for each wolf scalp and so
cent for each coyote scalp in addition to
the bounty paid by the Territory, and it
is thought that this will be a sufficient in
ducement to make "~woling' a paying
business, and that the extinction of these
v%ultures will quickly follow, In the
spring, if the fund collected is not sutfic-
lent to pay all the bounties, an assessment
will be made per capita On all the mem
bers. AS near as we can learn the matter
is meeting with the approval of all those
engaged in stock raising, and that no
trouble will be experienced in carrying
the project out. It is certainly feasible,
and We believe the only way that a
radiance Of these pests can be success
fully effected.

RAILROAD BUILDING.
The Union Pacific Broad Gauge Rail
road to Enter Helena Next
Spring.

The long projected and partially built
branch of the Erion Pacific railroad from
Dillon to Helena is o to be completed
at least SO We reinformed a few days
ago by n who is in a position command
ing certain information on that point. Il
is pretty generally known that when the
Utah and Northern railroad was building,
three or four years ago, Helena was the
objective terminal point. With this OBJ.
ject in view the road was completed to
Dillon and much grading done on the
surveyed route from there to Helena.
Then Butte commenced to boom, and the
U. p. managers, by Il change Of policy
which has since proved a paying step. al
tered the destination of the road and built
with all rapidity to the Silver camp.
Work on the Helena branch, however,
was prosecuted until the winter of 1898,
when it was suddenly abandoned. Dur
ing the active period much work was
done on this branch in the way Of cut
ting and grading, although no rails were
laid. Still considerable amount of work
remains to he done on it, and this the
Union Pacific intends to do with all dis
patch. According to our informant, or
ders from Chief Engineer Blickenderfer
were recently received by the chief en-
gineer in Montana, to recommence and
push with all speed the unfinished work
on the branch from Dillon to Helena.
These orders were transmitted to survey
ing parties in the field, who, we under
stand, have already repaired to the scene
of their laboEs. With ordinary success
it IS expected the road will be completed
to Helena early in the sprine-by March
or april 1t is to be a standard gauge
road, to correspond with that already
built from Pocatelio to Dillon, whose
gauge is to be widened at an early date.
In fact the bridges and ~trestles on this
part of the road have already been re-
placed by standard gauge structures,
When this is contaminated the Union Pa
cifc will have a standard gauge road from
Omaha to Helena.
Various theories are given as to the
motives prompting this new departure
by the T.. ?. Soma say that the contem
plated building by the Northern Pacific
of a branch to Butte compels them to
seek in the Helena traffic what they would
lose by the other company's going to
Butte. Again, it is asserted that the L.
P. is forced to complete its road from
Dillon to Helena or forfeit its land grant
or right Of way, besides losing all benefit
from the work already done. This view
is entertained by parties who say that the
franchise now owned by the L. p. for
right Of way, etc, from Dillon to Helena
expires on the first Of January next, I'M
less a certain portion of the road is com
pleted before that date.
Whatever the cause it matters very lit
tie. The Union Pacific will be welcomed
by the people" Of Helena, who, assured of
its coming, will not stop to inquire into
the cause that brought it. The fact is all
suticient.-lIerald.

We heard a practical man, one who can
speak authoritatively, explain Why the
wolves and coyotes had become so much
holder during the past three Or four years.
He says that previous to that time they
subsisted mostly upon the buffaloes, and
now that hey have disappeared, they are
compelled to seek other means OF sub
sistence, and have taken to the range
stock, where they prey upon the weak
animals. Horses and cattle suffer most
from their ravages. Sheep, owing to the
fact that they are always attended by a
herder and dogs during the day, and cor
raled at night, little loss is experienced,
and when ordinary precautions are exer
cised, no loss from this u is possible.

The dam commenced this season at
this place, will be extended across the
river next summer, and will be raised to
a sufficient height to afford ample water
power fer many mills. 4 strong effort
will be made to establish here at nee, a
wooden mill, a paper mill and a machine
shop. Had the dam been completed the
present year, the WOODEN mill would prob
ably now be in process Of construction,
5Ir. Gibson having completed range
ments last spring with certain Chicago
parties to move their machinery TO this
place as Q 0 as the water power should
be afforded. Certain it is that with the
completion Of this dam-the first across
the Missouri river-Great Falls will com
mence her rapid growth in manufactur-
ing. This growth will not cease until it
becomes one of the great manufacturing
cities of the continent.

The Great Falls TRIBUNE now makes
the suggestion that the G. p. branch be
built west of the Sweet Grass hills, tapp-
ing the upper Teton and sun river coun
try. Such a route would be by no means
| equal to the one selected. AS it would
fail to connect with the nayigable waters
Of the Missouri aud would leave out the
commercial center of northern Montana,
of course such a route will not receive
serious consideration. And besides, it
would not do to let such a Jim crow
railroad get within range of the future
great" where everything must be on a
par with the magnificenee of its water
power and the extent Of the TOWNSHIP
River Press.
At the time we offered our valuable
suggestion WE were laboring under the
impression that railroads inyariable run
a number Of preliminary lines, and then
choose the Il most practicable, but it
seems our impression was a mistaken one
as the route is already selected, and that
too, without the aid of an engineer or q
%tapeline. It was entirely unintentional
on our part to leave the river metropolis
out on the proposed route, but inasmuch
as it is understood that Benton is to be a
station on the line it was considered ST.
perfluous. IF the contracts are not all
let on the selected route" we shall insist
upon the G. P. making an examination of
the Muddy route. As to the attempt at
sarcasm in the above, it is needless to say
that the future great with its "magniti-
cent water power and extended townsite"

NO CAUSE FOR APPREHENSION.

Reports received recently from the
Montana cattle ranges say that a large
number of cattle We're driven, during the
past season, down to Chadron, Nebraska.
and from there shipped over the Sioux
City 6 Pacific to the eastern markets. 1t
was also reported that the new route was
making extra efforts and offering special
inducements to secure a large share of
this business in the future. Northern
Pacific officials, interviewed showed but
little apprehension from competition in
this quarter. They said they had no rea-
son to look upon the Sioux City 6 Pacific
in the light of a competitor, as the drive
from the Montana ranges was too long.
During the past season probably from f.
600 to 5000 head of cattle were shipped,
via Chadron. Pretty much all of these
l~egitimately belonged TO the Northern
Pacific, and for a large part of them cars
had been ordered. The extensive prairie
fires between the Dickinson yards and
the Montana ranges occasioned this diver
sion via Ciladron.-Pioneer Press.

p. FL. Hughes returned to Yogo this

interests in that prosperous camp. kr.
Hughes is one Of the characteristic min
ing men met with at intervals in the west,
he having followed that vocation with
varied success for a life time. Sometimes
wealthy and at other times looking for a
grub-stake, is usually the fortune Of the
average %prospector and stampeder, and
we presume such has been MIR. Hughes
experience in the early days, when he
followed and led in many stampedes,
over a stretch Of country reaching from
Chilli, in South America, to the ice-clad
shores Of Alaska. No gold-find of any
importance in any of the western States
or Territories in early days ever escaped
a visit from him, and his acquaintance
and friends are legion, and there are but
few Of the old-time miners but who at
some time or other, in some Of the many
mining camps of the far west, have form
ed his acquaintance. But like all things
mortal, the old-time miner is becoming
extinct, and what are now left of the rank
and file, the majority have settled down
to a less exciting life. A few have made
their pile, others are living in expectancy
and the balance have seemingly devoted
their lives to the fascination, and not I'M

was perhaps good luck only which saved

chances are that a serious, if not fatal &C
