The governor looks ON the bright
side of the wool and sheep industry
Though II majority Of growers may
not. endorse the opinions of his in
formants regarding free wool, they
will not he Indifferent to words OF
The governor says:
The wool growers of this Territ DRY
have largely increased their flocks and
will cont inle his good and profitable
industry. Some fear the effects of
free wool, hut those best informed on
this subject believe that free wool will
not injure the sheep culture any more
than free hides did the cattle kings
Mutton alone, it is believed, will pay
the cost OF raising sheep in Montana,
and the wool clipped and sold is all
profit. The net clear profit on in
ve>tments in this great industry is
from twenty To thirty per cent. The
wool clip OF this year produced largely
over million OF dollars. The number
OF sheep now in the Territory is very
much greater than when made my
report II year ago, showing 1000, 600.
In cattle. sheep, horses and mines,
Montana takes Il proud position.
Not one OF her large producing mines
is showing signs OF failure, while new
districts are rapidly coming into
prominence. The wealth OF our mines
is not yet known. Our stock Interests
are recovering from the injuries OF the
past. woolgr owing is taking first rank
as an industry, and general prosperity
prevails in all branches OF trade.

the RESULT IN FERGUS.

Although We are unable to give the
full returns from the county ut the
hour OF going to press, enough have
been received to determine the result
The entire republican ticket is elected
with the exception OF the candidate
for superintendent of schools. Miss
COrbin is chosen for that position by
a large majority. Mr.. Carter now has
l3l majority over Mr.. Clark and it is
thought the outlying precincts will
swell his majority to 200 or more.
The republican ticket was exception
ally strong and some of the majorities
arephenomenal. Party lines were not
closely adhered to-ihe "scratcher'
exercised the greatest liberty with his
ballot. Our readers may get what
consolation they can out OF the tabu-
lated returns on this page. Some
may figure "a different result from the
precincts yet to come.
