MONTANA WOOL.

| The Boston Advertiser, in it's issna nj
August Oath, reviewing the wool market,
comments as follows on the Montana pro-
duct, placing it next in rank and quality
to the Michigan clip: "The bulk of the
the business in territory woods is still con-
fined to Montana and choice Wyoming
fieeces, although quite large transactions
are reported in Utah and other more COM
mon grades. The best Montana clips are
quoted firm, and from the fact that it is
showing up light and in good condition it
is meeting with a good demand from
manufacturers, and is generally consider
ed to come next in order after the Michi-
gan clip. The secured basis on territory
woods is quoted at 521s@55c for fine, with
fine medium at SOC second medium at 45
case, and about 43@45c for low medium.
The sales of these woods during the week
take the lead of all others, and will prob
ably foot up over 100000 pounds. Re
ports from the west say that about all of
these woods there have been more or less
cleared up, and but few lots are now in
the hands of the growers"
The quotations Of Montana are from
10 to 25 cents, while some choice clips,
sold on t., have brought even better fig
ures than the latter. No other territory
wool comes within range of Montana,
their being several cent difference in the
price in favor of our product. ..

Crop reports continue good Accord
ing to recent kilograms the predictions in
regard to the abundant yield are verified
on the Manitoba and Northern Pacific
lines. Chamberlain, Dakota, reports the
largest crop ever known in that county,
ranging from II to 30 bushels per acre.
Reports in regard to frosted wheat are
contradictory. In the DEVILS Lake dis
trict fifty per cent of the crop is sand to
be affected. The actual damage IN most
cases is to isolated fields and in mixing
could be avoided. The aggregate of
frosted wheat will he small. The weekly
crop report of the Northern Pacific rail
road says: Mt is thought that frost did
not effect the yield materially, It seems
to have been confined to eertain spots.
Frost appears to have been most severe
and the results most disastrous in west
ern Minnesota and eastern Dakota. The
weather of late has been all that could be
desired. While estimates vary it would
appear that the wheat yield will average
about eighteen bushels to the acre and
that the crop of oats will be exception
ally fne." 1t would appear from these
reports that there is nothing now to fear.
The crops are large and the whole coun-
try will benefit thereby.

GREAT FALLS TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY SEPTEMBER, 1, 1888.
SEMI-WEEKLY
FREIGHT RATES.

Chicago which has been the most ac
tive in planning schemes to invade the
"territory" of other cities by means Of
through rates now finds that New York is
playing the same game. The trunk lines
at the Empire city have actually gone SO
far as to make the rate on dry goods
$500 to Chicago while they forward like
goods all the way to San Francisco for
$3.50. On some goods manufactured in
Chicago, the rates are higher to the Paci-
fic coast than they are from New York
although the former city is fully 1000
miles nearer.
This state Of things may be traced to
the steamship competition at New York
and to the rivalry Of the transcontinental
line. The railroad companies have held
the Pacific mail competition in check by
paying that company subsidy, but they
have not been able to restrain the rivalry
which has sprung up among themselves.
In the face Of such keen competition or
pools working agreements are of little
avail. Rates go down until some low
figure is adopted as basis. Even then
the companies are ready to make private
terms rather than lose business.
Whatever may be the short comings of
Chicago and however selfish may have
been her course toward cities west of her,
Montana will sympathize with her in this
fight which concerns all places that are
remote from the Atlantic seaboard. There
must be something wrong when Chicago
manufactures are compelled to pay
higher rates than New York products,
although the haul to California is about
1000 miles less. The country Uanuou
allow the trade of the interior to be |
sacrificed by any combination which pro- 1,
duces such unjust discrimination. In
order to render her position really strong
Chicago, should take firm ground in favor
of the entire west and not make her own
grievances the sole subject of complaint.

TERRITORIAL FAIR.

State fairs have become so general that
no commonwealth can stford to he with
out one. Montana is we'll qualified to
establish territorial fair that will com
bine an ample display of her mineral and
farm products with we'll conducted races.
In order to place such a fair on a firm
basis I. 9. Power proposes that the terri
tory shall appropriate annually $4,000
for this purpose or for the exhibition
alone and that the money shall be award
ed to the city or county that offers the
strongest inducements. This would
amount to giving the fair annually to
Helena, because the people of that civ
have their heart so set on it or rather on
the racing that they would cling to It
even if they had to reduce heavily those
noted bank deposits or sell that Wash
ington statue which California gave AWAY
so readily.
Instead of provoking scramble which
might result in rendering the fair nm
popular, Montana might do better nv a.
sisting the fairs in each county. Certa;n
conditions should be specified to entit,e
each county to a portion of the fair fund

boiling point. McGill, Scheffer and Mer-

is supposed that if Merriam is nominated
Scheffer will bolt and run on his own &C
count. To increase the confusion, Igna-
thus Donnelly, who has been fighting
shakesperian critics in England, has re
turned just in time to accept nomination
for governor from nondescript body,
assuming to represent farmers and work
men. This confusion favors the prospects
of Wilson, the democratic candidate,
who, unlike DR.. Anes, will meet with
earnest support among the party leaders
in St. Paul.

A correspondent wants to know if Cas-
cade is one Of the suburbs Of Great Falls.
Not exactly. We expect Great Falls to
extend its limits very rapidly, but it will
be good many years before our neigh
boring hamlet will be encroached upon.
We will just state, for the information Of
our correspondent, that Cascade is thirty
miles from Great Falls, on the Montana
Central railroad, and is growing and
very promising town, having an excellent
surrounding country. 1t stands at the
head of the Chestnut valley, which is
thickly settled and ranks with the best
and richest valleys Of Montana. Besides
this there is much more agricultural and
stock territory tributary to Cascade, and
it is certain to grow into a prosperous
town of several hundred people. Hon
Thos. L. Gorham, we'll known old-timer,
is the "father of the town. and he will be
glad to furnish our correspondent, or
others, any information on the subject
that may be desired. n.. "@"

MANITOBA CHANGES,

Reports are current that President Hill
has resigned and that Mr.. Marvel will
succeed him. The statement lacks CT H.
hrmation. While Mr.. Hill might nutur-
ally desire a season of rest after his busy
successful career, he is so closely identi-
fled with the Manitoba that he is never
likely to disconnect himself from it
whether he retains the office of president
or otherwise. The Manitoba system with
$S,O00,O0O annually is largely the work
its vast mileage and earnings Of over
of his hands. He found it weak, bank
rupt enterprise of only local importance
lie has extended its business until it
now ranks among the great trunk lines
and stands high among the few we'll
managed solvent systems of the country.
Better still, the Manitoba is SO firmly en-
trenched in the most progressive regions
of Manitoba, Dakota and Montana that
it must continue to go forward with rapid
strides.
AS regards this city which owes so
much to Mr.. Hills foresight and good
will, it can always count on his powerful
support whether he is in or out of office
In common with other capitalists lie mas
made large investments here based upon
for the growth and Il comprehensive plan
development Of the city. Since he put
his hand to the pillow he has not turned
back. Every consideration which has
guided his successful csreer will imnel
him to go forward and thus reap the full
reward of his sound Judgment and
shrewd investments.

SATURDAYS CONVENTION.

The democratic county convention will
be held in this city next Saturday, when
we hope to see good ticket put in the
field. This will be the first election for
! officers in Cascade county, and it is high
ly important that men we'll qualified for
, the various offices should be elected, 50
that the county may continue in the way
Of good and efficient government. This
is even more important in new county
like Cascade than an old one where the
administrative machinery is in good run
ming order, and but little friction or troub-
lie of any kind is to be anticipated. There
are plenty of good men in the demccrat-
ic party of this county, and only
such should be named for position,
whether they desire it or not.
1t Is especially necessary that the
board of commissioners be strong one
men of good business qualifications, as
we'll as being careful, economical citi-
zens, having the best interests of the
county at heart. Three men of this char
acter should be named for commission
ers. But this is true to greater or less
degree of all the offices, so that it is evil
dent that the convention has some i'm
portant work before it.
The political status of Cascade county
has never been determined and we will
know more about it after the battle of the
ballots In November. The Tribune is
willing to hazard the prediction, however,
that if the convention does its work we'll
next Saturday the ticket nominated will |
be elected, or at least the greater portion
