w. w. Beaseley, of Hathaway, one of
our most successful wool growers, has just
disposed Of his clip at a good price and is
feeling at peace with all mankind. His
average on about 5000 head of Merinos
was 81 pounds to the fleece, and on a
special bunch of 5000 wethers that had
been herded separately, the average went
as high as 9A. This, we believe, is about
the top notch, and will challenge the at
tention of Mr.. L. W. Peck, of the Wool
Grower, who in a recent issue Of his jour
nal intimated that he did not believe in
these large yields on a years clip, and
said that so far as his knowledge or inves-
tigation extended 61s pounds was the aver
age. AS Mr.. Beaseley has, however, just
marketed 45, 1000 pounds of wool from 5, 200
sheep he is in condition not only to back
up but to prove his statement.-Ye fellow

Talk About Dry Seasons.

And now the olu-timer comes to the
front with remarkable stories OF dry
weather and rain. One says that in 1865
it never rained until the 25th day of Au-
gust, and then it commenced and poured
down for i long time. Grass came for
ward and hay was cut and gathered as
late as October and November. The most
remarkable story, which savors strongly
Of the old time .Munehausen, is to the effect
that one year, except for an occasional
shower, there was no rain, but in Novenl-
Der a heavy snow storm set in and two
feet of the beautiful on the leye! was the
average. In December chinook put in
an appearance and melted the snow, after
which long continued warm spell started
the grass, and in the latter part of january
and February haying commenced and q
sufficient quantity was gathered to last
the entire season.

The reports Of prairie fires still continue

TIMBER CUTTING
The General Land Office Coming to. its
Senses, in a Slight Degree at Least.

The following is Washington special
to the Pioneer Press Of July 10Th. Dele
gate Toole has been hammering away at
the general land office for some time to
gain some relief for his people in Montana
against the action of the timber agents
anxious to make record. The invasion
Of the lumber yard Of Linde e Co.. near
Bozeman, and the arrest of Michael j. Ha-
ley, the government agent, has led the IN
terror department to make thorough in
vestigation of its rights in the case, and it
finds that its case is rather weak. lt has
no way of proving that the lumber mills OF
Montana have not been cutting and selling
As the law allows them for domestic terri
torial consumption. Mr.. Sparks asser-
tions that lumber was being exported and
the herculean efforts Of the agents to prove
these assertions have not shown up as
strong as was expected on investigation /,
and the impression is gaining ground with
the secretary of the interior that the Mon
tana people are not entirely wrong. An
arrangement is being made now by which
the business of cutting timber may be car
lied on as heretofore without molestatiun
from the government. The mills cutting
timber and lumber are to keep a record Of
all customers to whom lumber is furnish
ed, and are to hand this, with an affidavit
that they are residents of the territory, to
the government. as often as demanded.
Their books are to be open to inspection
at all times by the government officials.
1t is thought that the system will save all
trouble in the future.
