The hundreds of thousands of feeces
of wool which are shipped annually
from Great Falls to the east 60 through
a varied experience, and the story of their
travels may be interesting. As the tieeces
are taken from the sheep they are cleaned
of all tags, each rolled separately and
placed in large sacks, each sack holding
about go fleeces. The sacks vary in
weight from 230 to 400 pounds. These
sacks are loaded onto wagons, usually
some freighter's outfit, and hauled to
town. The trip often requires three or
four days. Yesterday a clip arrived from
beyond Lewistown, over ITO miles away.
Each sack is numbered and branded with
the owners mark. On arriving at the
warehouse each sack is weighed and
marked, the owner or driver receiving q
check of the weight of his load. I'm
mense piles of these sacks fill the large
warehouse now, and a force of men is
kept busy loading into the cars. As the
sacks are put into the cars a record of the
number and weight of each is made, so
that it is possible to trace every one from
the time it is received at the warehouse,
until it reaches the securing mills of the
