Mr. Blacks mare Kitten, and Mr.. Pickett's
horse Honest Rob. The race will be for
800, and will be run on the course at the
lower end of the park.
The Oregon shearing crew, eight in
number, arrived in the city yesterday and
are ready to begin work in any portion of
north Montana. They are old hands at
the business and think they can remove
as many fleeces in day as any other
eight men in Montana. Art Holmes is
the foreman Of the crew.
John j. Ellis and John Spencer of the
Sun river valley have Just returned from
''the states" with 1,1OO head of fine year
ling steers, which will be turned on the
Sun river range. Several parties who
have seen the cattle grazing on the other
side of the river pronounce them as fine
lot of young cattle as they have seen in
many day. ...
The trees which Mr. Paris Gibson
planted are now in full leaf and add
greatly to the fine appearance Of the city.
The venerable trees beside the river are
also in full foliage and are likely to last
many years. When DR.. W. Seward Webb
was here he advised the people to plant
more trees as the true way to make the
city attractive.
The wool compress to be used at the
Manitoba wool warehouse, this city, dur
ing the season, is new one of the best
design, of large size, and in every partic-
ular a tirst-class machine. That it will
do good and satisfactory work is guaran-
teed The River Press must he getting
in desperate straits when it asserts the
contrary, with no knowledge whatever OF
the facts.
The Benton River Press designates the
large and excellent wool ware house al
this place, which is similar in character
to the railroad wool warehouse at the
Benton station, as "fire trap" On the
the same principle every depot on the
line Of every railroad in the territory is
"fire trap" The insurance agencies, how
ever,do not so regard it so as their rates OF
wool in the Great Falls warehouse ar,
merely nominal. The River Press will
not deceive anybody by such reckles
talk.
This evening there is to be socia
gathering at the Presbyterian church
There will be music and ice cream witt
intervals for conversation. This Assem-
blage is intended to make people bette
!, acquainted with each other and to atfor
the enjoyment of meeting socially ava
from the cares of business. II as the re
suit Of such acquaintance Mr.. Reid
kept busy tying the marriage knot h
will not complain. Judge Dyas is pre-
pared to issue marriage licenses by tn
ream.
Swanson & Ceombs, the water work
:, contractors, say they place lanterns ever
night at all the crossings and DANCE
; points on the open trenches and that tn
absence Of the same in any particula
case is due to the fact that the lantern
have been stolen. They have lost severa
lanterns in this way and are now anxious
ly hoping to detect some miscreant in tn
act of purloining one of them. In today
} TRIBUNE they announce that they will
pay reward Of $50 for information tha
will lead to the arrest and conviction c
the guilty parties. There would not b
so many trenches open but for the fac
that the twelve and six inch pipe has nc
arrived and they are thus delayed in put
: ting in the same and closing up the wor
as they proceed. The would be sever
structures of the Rolfe sheet this mornin
were not at all called for.
Through the 1nstrumentaliy of D. T
Churchill, an old time Montanian an
rnstler, the new town of Ulm was dul
plated and surveyed the past week b
Scotten & Stanton, surveyors of this city
, Ulm is located on the Montana Centra
R'y, about fourteen miles from Grea
Falls, on the banks of the Missouri rive
a the ferry crossing from Sun river
Truly and the Deep creek country. Thi
section is now dotted with settlement
made by ranchmen who have had expel
ience as farmers and know we'll how
make ranching success. They have
choice agricultural region and depend O.
farming for livelihood, and are destine
to become a prosperous and t1ourishln
community. In such a place is needle
town, such as Ulm is to be, where the
can do their trading and find a market TO
a great deal Of their produce. The tow
being near Great Falls can be readil
supplied with whatever may be needle,
in the way Of merchandise, etc. Success
, to Ulm.
Last season when the question of com
pressing wool in bales came up the opin
, ion was expressed by very prominen
Boston wool dealers that our wool would
be injured by COMPRISING it and that
would in that state not be so acceptable t.
manufacturers, with consequent loss o
price. On the strength of their opinion
as practical and interested parties, th
TRIBUNE took the ground that the grove
should ship his wool in sacks as he hat
always done. They had reference, how
ever, to the regular baling process, sim
liar to that OF cotton baling, by which
given quality of wool is compressed int
much smaller space than by the pro
cess now in vogue in Montana. Thes'
same parties now agree that the compress
sing of three sacks of wool into one bale
by the latter process does not affect thu
saleable quality of the product in tht
least and as large savingin cost of trans
portation, is affected without injury to tn,
the staple the TRIBUNE now advise
growers to have their wool compressed
We would have taken the same grount
last season had not wool men o. large ex
perience advised against it. The TRIBUNE
will always to the best of its knowledge
take the side of the wool grower in mat
ters affecting his interest, We wouldn'
like to be guilty of holding out river com
petition to him when there is no such
competition or of ceunseling him to store
his wool two miles from railroad sta
tion.
