THE A OF TRADE.
A Report From the Washington High
Joint Commission 1T Last
Received.

Received,
The Board of Trade met in regular
session last evening with President Glib
som in the char and a good attendance OF
members.
Mr.. T. E. Collins, who made a visit to
the Judith and Musselshell districts al
the instance of the board, reported a sue
cessful trip. He reports that much OF
the wool Of that region will come to this
city, notwithstanding the desperate efforts
OF the Northern Pacific company to Sc
cure the shipments. In his opinion the
wool shipments from Great Falls will be
larger than last season and will aggre-
gate at least 100000 pounds.
Reports from the committee on census
were not altogether favorable. 1t was
found that while Judge Race is doing all
in his power, his work is a greater one
than he can perform. His district is the
most %populOus in the state and should
haYe had two enumerators instead of one.
1t is believed that despite the best efforts
of the enumerator our census returns
will be short almost a thousand names.
This will certainly be true unless our
citizens ge nerally render the enumerat0r
all the assistance in their power. Monday
is the last day of grace n any who have
not been enumerated should not fail to
call at Judge Races office for that pur.
pose at the earliest possible hour.
The secretary read a letter from the
secretary of the Montana exposition, set
ting forth the plan and purposes OF that
enterprise. No action in the premises
was taken. He also read a note from the
secretary of the recent st. Paul and Min
neapolis excursion party and the compli-
mentary resolutions adopted by the
same.
Next came the report from the Wash
ington high-joint land office aud public
building commission. 1t set forth in de-
tail the doings of the commission and its
magnificent failure to get anything. As
to a public building, there is no hope fo,
one until our city Is much larger than at
present and considering the attitude of
Montana's legal and fraudulent represent
~tatives, the land Office prospects are quite
as gloomy. The board was glad to learn,
however, that the committee visited New
York and Boston and had ii goodtime.
On motion Of G. M. Webster the report
was received, ordered filed, and the high
joint discharged.
The president brought up the subject
OF building tenement houses. He stated
that applications are received every day
for residences which cannot he supplied
and hoped that steps might be taken 10
induce capitalists to invest in suitable
tenement buildings in this city, as there
Is a guarantee OF large interest on money
thus invested. Although hundreds Of
have beer built here this
season there is still a. lively demand for
more.
After another hitch at the irrepressible
postofiice problem the board adjourned
until next Friday evening.

RECEIVING WOOL.

Systematic MethOds-How 1t is Shipped.
The receipt of wool is conducted with
care under the general management of
Mr.. Van Allen of the wool warehouse.
As soon as the bale is unloaded it is
weighed. Then the weight is marked on
1t. 1t also receives a number. A record
is made in a book of the owner, weight
and number. The bale has been already
branded at the ranch. Each owners
wool is then stored apart by able bodied
men who facetiously call themselves the
"Great Falls Wool Elevator company"
When required details are given the
owner so that he may insure at once
his wool. The buyers now come on the
scene Sometimes the wool has been
bought already. At other times the buy
er samples 1t. When the wool is to be
shipped Agent Kelly provides cars and
freight bills. The bales are promptly
placed in the cars and are soon on their
way to West Superior where the Great
Northern company's steamers will con-
vey them to Buffalo for transportation by
rail to Boston, Philadelphia and New
York

The city council met in special session
last night with all the aldermen present.
Mayor Dickerman stated that the meet
ing was called for a special purpose, and
on his request the clerk read n petition
from the Great Falls Street Railroad
company asking permission to operate
their cars in the business streets, using
steam as n motive power until such time
as the power is developed.
Alderman Bridges spoke in favor of
granting the request, provided that all
necessary precautions were taken.
Alderman Webster then moved that
the request he granted.
Alderman Nathan seconded the motion.
Mr.. Ropes, the superintendent, then
spoke for the company He stated that
the request was made only because the
Water Power company were as yet un-
able to furnish power; that as soon as the
power was furnished, electricity would
be used; that MIR. Parker, of the Power
company, had assured him that the pow err
would be ready before November, the
time stipulated in the contract, and that
steam was the best motor that could be
used until the electric machinery was
ready. After further remarks by Alder.
men Rowen and Germ, the question wal
put and carried unanimously.
There being no further business the
council adjourned.

Prospects Along the Line,

Ca
d. r. Maginnis, the genial immigration
agent OF the Great Northern, came in
from the east yesterday. lie is much in
terested in the development of the agri.
cultural interests of Northern Montana
and is enthusiastic over the excellent
crop prospects, which are a result of the
late rains. From Minot west to Harlem
along the line he says there have been
several soaking rains and the grass is ex-
cellent. At Glasgow the rain fell in tor
rents until the streets were flooded with
water. On the line from Harlem to Big
Sandy very little rain has fallen and the
grass IS consequently short and the crop
prospects not SO good. But from Big
Sandy on to Great Falls rain has fallen in
moderate quantity and prospects are bet
ter, although they are not so good as in
the eastern part OF the state. At Chinook
the range and crops are suffering, al
though some grain fields are looking
fairly well. At this place lie has seeded
several acres to flax and is a~nxiously
watching the result Of the experiment.
SO far the outlook is good and If only
n good rain comes the crop will be
good. Many settlers have put in crops of
oats or barley and are well pleased with
the promise of a crop.

One day last week, Henry Clark of
New York, who with his father Parker
P. Clark, came out from his eastern
home a few days since to rusticate with
his brother and nephews, the CLARK
boys, went out riding with the foreman,
and when on the Dry Forks their shep-
herd dog was driven under the wagon by
a large she wolf. A severe fight Fensued,
but before the gun could be- brought up
from the depths of the camping outfit
etc, among which it lay, the wolf had
disappeared over a rise IN the ground.
The dog again ventured forth and suon
scented out her den. Fortunately there
was a shovel In the wagon and with this
Mr.. Clark and the foreman dug out seven
young wolves, six of which were killed,
and one secured alive. The old wolf
made its escape. The captured wolf was
taken to the ranch and on Sunday it was
Gagged and shipped on top of a load Of
wool to- Great Falls, where 1t will be
slain and then stuffed and mounted by a
taxidermist. Mr.. Clark will send the
stuffed wolf to New York as q trophy of
his proves weile in Montana.-Mon-

public favor, as is proved by the fact that
many millions of eggs are imported
yearly into this country, and the supply
can never. probably, exceed the demand.
The Hamburghs are at the present
time attracting special attention, both
from fanciers and practical breeders.
The spangled or mooney Hamburgbs are
given the preference, both from their
beauty and hardness. And they have
also the merit-in which they are unlike
the penciled variety, which are purely
ornamental-that they are also economi-
cal fowls TO keep, for they are the most
prolific of all layers, and with the black
Hamburger easily stand at the head for
fccundity. Were IL not that their eggs
are rather small in size they would be
far more popular with those who have
10 produce for sale, but at present their
eggs are, as rule, rather below the re-
quirements of the market. So far as the
producer is concerned, they are best Of
all, for they are very small eaters. and
renee they are most profitable 10 keep.
BY the exercise of little care the size of
the egg could be enlarged. and selection
would go far 10 remedy this one defect.
There are some families which lay larger
gigs than do others, and il attention

AS regards the breeding of these fowls,
we quote from an article ON the Match

1urghs, from the pen of that well
known breeder and Judge, Mr.. Henry
Beldon, OF Bingley, Works who has done
more TO populnrize Hamburgls than any
living man. and who may safely be called
the father of the llnmburgh fancy. On
