The NIusse1shell Range.

BILLINGS, July 20.-The stockmen who
have come in from two weeks trip
through the upper and lover Musselshell
country report no grass OF the range at
all. Should hard winter ensue serious
damage to the stock interests of this sec
tion may be expected. M hay can be
found to cut except on irrigated lands
and that is very light. Too much caution
cannot be exercised in blinging stock to
this range, as more stock would crowd it
and render the prospect that the stock
will survive u hard winter improbable.

DEAR SUGAR.
THE NEW YORK TRUST STORING
SUGAR.
Tho Wholesale GrOcers Also Filling
Warehouses With 1.-THE Price
Has Advanced COnsid-
erab1y. s

NEW YORK, July 22.-There is scarce
" any room to doubt but that the sugar
trusts are preparing to make vigorous
battle to sustain present prices If not to
force them still further up the scale
Previous to the first advance in prices a
year ago the storage of large quantities
of refined sugar was a thing unheard Of.
The price Of granulated sugar at retail
was then about SIX and half cents per
pound. Now the same article sells atten
cents per pound.
For more than two months past the
trust has been rushing the storage Of
sugar with the warehouse trust, and today
there Is scarcely a dry, clean, available
warehouse on Brooklyn water front that
has not some refined sugar stored in it.
There is very little doubt but that the
combine is preparing to squeeze the mar.
ket by still further advancing the prices
of a necessary of life, and it would be
useless to attempt to deny that very
bitter feeling is arising against the mag
mates of the trust.
From all that can now be learned, at
least 100000 barrels of sugar are now
locked up, the value OF which at present
prices is something enormous, and 1t is
likely to be still more unless the trust
scheme is foiled by wholesale and retail
grocers and the public.

since then consigning has been in favor.
Mr.. Putnam has bought id. Waite's clip
at 22A cents. DR.. Fairfield has sold his

oTTEB CREEK NOTES.
Good Crops Assured-The Spirit of I'm
prOyement-Pleasant Parsonals.


provement-Pleasant Personals.
We are pleased to know that the wheat
and grain are not suffering for the need
Of rain in the Kibbey and Upper Belt
districts. There were several smart
showers last week and there is likely to
be fine crops. ~
The young men in these districts are
especially praiseworthy. Many Of them
have taken up and fenced large tracts Of
land, built new houses and put in large
crops this year.
Kelleher Bros. have rs acres of as
fine wheat and grain as one would wish
to see. They have an apple orchard
which looks quite thrifty.
Mr.. j. W. Moler has bought a small
band of beautiful Hereford heifers. He
may we'll be proud Of them.
Mr.. John Campbell is making extensive
Improvements on his ranch.
Mr.. w. /. Baker, the woolgrower Of
Otter creek, has let out his band of sheep,
and much to the regret Of all his neigh
bors, he is making arrangements to take
his family on quite an extensive tour.
They intend seeing the wonders Of the
National park, thence to California and
from there they go east for the winter.
But we earnestly hope to see them on the
creek at this time another year.
We hear that Mrs. 9. A. Ford has ad-
ded piano direct from Boston to her
already cosy home.
Mr.. Morris had as fine little son pre-
sented him last week as there is in
Montana.
Rumor says that Miss Maggie Watson
who is a general favorite on Belt creek
and the we'll known young blacksmith
Mr.. Dave Roberts, are very soon to be
married.
Mr.. Geo. B. Swan, who is now teaching
IN Clendenin will soon have short va
cation after which he will return tC
teach the remaining three months.

the city was conferred upon Mr.. Parnell
yesterday. In reply to the address ac-
companying the presentation, Mr.. Parnell
said that the Irish people would accept

for freedom. Mr.. sParnell said that II he
had known the commission would block
any inquiry into the Piggot conspiracy ne
would never have entered the court.

Only would amaze her;
For her own sweet self is she.

LOCALIZED MECHANICS.

A Custom That Was Once Quite Gensr.
ally Observed In the East.
Mechanics are not likely to go out
of fashion so long as human nature re-
mains what it is. School-boys will

nickname their professors, and soldiers
speak of their commanders as Little
Mac" Uncle Billy Fighting Joe."
or what-not. In these days, however,
it is not customary to spread such titles
upon official records as was formerly
the habit, according to the author Of
the Antiquities of Long Island"
In 1914, in the Dutch records. we
have John Petersen, alias Friend
John. In the Newton purchase from
the Indians, dated in 1856, one of the
boundaries is 'by Dutchman's land
called Hans the Boore," and in the
Bushwick patent, dated October ~.
1867, one of the boundaries is John

Kings County records, man is named
living at Gowanus as "Tunis the

The Common Council of New York,
in 1871, ordered fish to be brought into
the dock ''over against the City Hall.
or the house that Long Mary formerly
lived in" and in the same year an or
der was passed that Top Knot Betty
and her children be provided for as
objects of charity"
The explanation of this custom, in
many cases, was that the persons in
question either had no family names or
had forgotten them, so that the use OF
their generally accepted nicknames
became q necessity.
So numerous were the Smiths living
upon Long Island that it was thought
necessary to distinguish the various
original families by some peculiar
name. Thus we have the Rock Smiths.
the Blue Smiths, the Bull Smiths and
the Weight Smiths. Youths Com
