novel method of indicating TO the public tho
moral character OF his plays. II Is by print
Ing his play bills in different colors. Thus o
red bill signifies that tho play Ii pcrnicious,
and that, therefore, none but adults should
see It. A white bill indicates that the play
is moral, and that, therefore, parents ought
TO bring their children To see It. Still again
0 blue bill signifies that play is ON tho
bordcrland Of morality, and that, therefore,
parents must use their own discretion in
bringing their children TO see it. Lastly, q
yellow bill signifies that husbands should be
careful not TO bring their wives To- see the
play, although presumably they may TO theu,-

Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1887-1890, 1888-07-28
It is commonly reported that Montana

1t is commonly reported that Montana
statesmen are careless about the post of
delegate, because it may be abolished by
statehood next year. We hope to see
this apathy, real or apparent, give place
to active rivalry. At least the people
should discuss the question freely, be-
cause much may devolve upon the next
delegate. Whether Montana is to be a
state soon or otherwise, the position Of
delegate may be invested with honor and
usefulness. Major Maginnis for instance
exercised great influence at Washington
with even the republican administrations,
because his war record and ability won
him the respect of opponents. This in
tuence he used with good effect for the
benefit of Montana. In like manner has
Mr.. Toole been Of much service to the
territory especially in the opening OF the
reservation-a measure which in this city
Major Maginnis advocated publicly. No,
gentlemen, in the game of politics the
statesman who schemes is lost. The best
road to the senate OF presidency lies in
the line Of public duty. John Quincy
Adams did not disdain to enter the house
of representatives after an honorable
term as president

this city and its suburbs. He was already
we'll prepared to estimate the value Of
these resources by long residence in the

OF ripe experience in the selection Of de-
slraole townsites, and backed by capital

WOOL IN CALIFORNIA.

California sets bright example to
Montana in all branches of the wool in
dustry. In 1866 the production of wool
in that state was only 100000 pounds
which is less than few days receipts in
Great Falls. By 1860 the gold fever had
subsidized and people began to pay more
attention to the "golden fleece" The
production that year (using round num-
bers) had increased to 100000 pounds
Under the joint stimulus of the tariff and
the immense demand for wool created BY
the scarcity Of cotton, the production in
creased to 20,000O0O pounds in 1870 In
1876 it had attained the high water mark
of 56,000,000, but in 1880 had fallen to
46,OOO,0O0. Last year the total clip was
36,6OO,OO0 pounds and this year it may
not be more than 100000. Despite
these ups and downs the California wool
industry is firmly established and has
proved a service Of wide spread benefit
to the state. ,s
This immense production has been ac-
companied by progress in manufactures.
Unlike Montana, California does rot send
away all her wool and receive it back in
the form of cloth and blankets, after pay
ing tribute to the eastern manufacturers.
California has great factories like the Pho
neer wooden mills, which make every class
ofwoolen goods and hosiery, In that one
concern are 81 sets of machinery, which
were run continuously for seven
years until the present depression re-
duced the number of sets in operation tc
twenty-five. In these mills are produced
such as the celebrated Mission mills
blankets, which are worth from 1886 tc
$50 per pair. The merit of the Califor-
mia goods is such that they find ready
sale in the east and may yet be exported
largely.
This great wool industry has grown UP
although the freights were very high
most of the time and are now $1.75 pei
hundred for woods costing over 10 cents
per pounds. At first the factories de-
pended on the home market, but the ex-
cellence of the goods was such that they
were able to compete with New England
in her own field. In all respects, the con.
ditions for wool growing and manufac.
turing are as good here as in California
In some respects, such as cheap fuel, wa
ter power and closer proximity to eastern
markets, they are decidedly better. Let
us, therefore, strive to equal the enter
prise and skill Of our countrymen in
California.
Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1887-1890, 1888-07-28

Mr.. Wood of the Western Rural, who
came with the agricultural editors, forms
a noble conception of Montana scenery.
He says: Sour country, wide and broad
and diversified in all that makes a natural
landscape beautiful, may present some
where a finer picture, stretching out like
revolving scenes for hundreds of miles,
but Montana has enough Of grandeur to
to satisfy the greediest soul, and to furn-
ish reality for every flight of the wild
est fancy. Mr.. HILL the protector of the
Manitoba railroad, could have been called
visionary only by him who was ignorant
of the splendor of Montana scenery. The
time will come when the passenger de-
partment of the road alone will be able
to count out a handsome dividend from
the wonder-seeking crowds who will go
to see the beauties of the vast empire of
Montana. &og. -.m4-

It is not expected that the house an

1t is not expected that the house and
senate will agree on tariff bill. Such
being the case, why should congress keep
the country any longer in suspense? In
the wool trade alone the tariff agitation
has worked harm, for it has kept in bond
large quantities of wool that would have
been distributed among the mills. So
long as the present bill is in doubt that
wool will be retained in bond to
await action on the free wool clause
which is to go into effect in October,
while the wooden schedule does not take
effect until January. As it is very GER
tain that the senate will not pass the free
wool clause, why should the wool and
wooden trade be demoralized by further
delay? ..
