IT is undoubtedly true that wool was
higher under the low tariff from 1916 to
1860 than it is now That was before
Australia and other countries had turned
their attention to the production of wool
on such an enormous scale. But no sane
man will assert or expect to be believed
that our wool growers at present will get
higher prices for their wool with the duty
of ten cents per pound removed. There is
not a wool grower in the land who will
not be bankrupted. Low prices will pre-
vail long enough to ruin all the sheep men
and kill off all the sheep, and then We
shall pay whatever prices the foreign pre-
ducers may charge. Such kind of states
manship would disgrace the civilization of

What the Castle News Thinks of it.

We publish elsewhere an article in re-
gard to the building ofthe Belt mountains
railroad to within short distance of Bar
ker and Neihart the coming fall, and
when the news reached our citizens it
caused them to feel jubilapt as we'll they
may, for we now consider the prospect of
a railroad to Castle almost an assured
fact The building of the road promises
great things for that large and wonderful
mining district, and we predict q great
boom for those camps in the near future.
The benefits to be derived from this ven
ture are many; not only will it benefit
Great Falls and Cascade county, but Fer
gus and Meagher counties as well, in fact
the whole territory will be enriched by
the results. As near as we can learn the
route laid out points to the Judith coun
try from Barker, and the prospects are
that 1t will eventually tap the fine farm,
ing and grazing country OF the Nussel-
she'll, the Castle mountain mines and
continue on through the Shields river
valley to the National Park.

THE MANITOBA RAILROAD SUIT.
The Points Raised by the Defendants
Yesterday.

The Points Raised by the Defendants
-a Yesterday.
The suit in chambers Of the Manitoba
railroad against R. S. Ford and others,
was heard before Judge Bach yesterday.
Clayberg & Cullen, attorneys for the de-
fendant, made their argument and raised
the following points:
First, that the Manitoba road is for
eign corporation, organized under the
laws of the state of Minnesota, and that
in entering the territory OF Montana it
should have complied with section 702
(known as the railroad act which requires
the filing of certificate. This, 1t is
claimed, the company failed to do.
Secondly, that the eminent domain stat
ute-a general law, and section 685 of the
fifth division Of compiled laws, a special
law, were created at the same time. As
these two laws, DoIn having reference 10
railroads, are Gn some respects) in op-
| position to each other, the special law
should take precedence. Consequently
proceedings should have been brought
under that instead of under the eminent
domain act.
Thirdly, that the railroad company had
not complied with section 702 Of the fifth
F.! division of compiled laws, and could not,
therefore, exercise the right Of eminent
| domain nor be heard in the courts.
Fourthly, that the territorial law of
eminent domain was defective, inasmuch
as the territorial legislature was not a
sovereign body, which point was fully
stated in yesterdays Tribune.
Messrs. Clayberg & Cullen left for Hell
ena this morning. The attorneys for the
plaintiff, J. B. Leslie and Taylor & Lewis,
will make their argument on Saturday,
and Judge Bach will then decide the
case.
