GREAT FALLS As A WOOL CENTER.

1t will require but little effort upor
the part Of the business men Of Great
Falls to make this city the wool EN-.
porium of Northern Montana. Its pres.
ent railroad transportation facilities and
its diverging lines which tap the wool
growing regions of this portion Of the
state naturally direct the wool trade to
this point. In addition to this is the
fact, which interests sheepmen, that all
sheep ranch supplies can be obtained
cheaper right here at Great Falls than at
any other city in the state. Its mer-
chants are full-stocked for the trade and
are prepared to give better value for the
same money than can be obtained else
where west Of st. Paul.
Another fact which %sheepmen should
take into consideration in determining
the selection of their market place is
that Great Falls has become the head
quarters for eastern buyers OF northern
Montana woods. They occasionally run
out to isolated stations to sample and
buy individual clips, but the large per-
Of their purchases is made here
n the city. The advantage of coupe
Ition among agents is therefore found
lere and that is a good deal in the
favor. All these facts should
mite to make Great Falls the wool cen
er Of all Of northern and much Of east
Montana.

men OF this city canno well be- overesti
mated. As has been well stated blythe
papers OF that place Great Falls is the
natural outlet for the passenger and
freight traffic for the great Judith basin.

that section find a better market here

Mr.. Hughes remarks concerning the
feasibility Of utilizing electricity in the

the point. Within the next decade or
two electricity will become the motive

THE NALERIA LIBRARY.

A library known by the above title is
now being conducted under the auspices
OF an incorporation composed Of several
well known, public-spirited gentlemen of
this city. The incorporation owns the
building and lot upon which it stands,
together with something like $500
worth of books. The lot is worth $1,000
and the building cost $1,000. The indebt-
edness Of the institution is in the neigh
borhoOd of 100. Patrons of the library
pay 30 cents monthly dues.
These facts and figures are given that
what follow may be made clearer. The
library company, being impressed with
the importance of making the institution
free to every resident of the city and be
lieving that Great Falls has now reached
that stage in it's progress where a free
library should be numbered among its
pubic enterprises, have made IA PROPOSE
ton to turn the lot, building and books
over to the city on the simple co1
ditions that the latter shall assume
and liquidatc the outstanding indcbt-
edness against the institution and
TO maintain and support it in the future
as a free library. The offer is a most
generous n and reflects great credit
upon the liberal gentlemen composing
the corporation.
No argument is required to emphasize
the benefits to the community at large

THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE
SATURDAY. FEBRUARY IS. 1892.
ABOUT TREES.

Volumes have been written about tree
and still the field of fact and speculation
is not exhausted. That which is left un
written concerning their benefits from
sanitary and other points of view would
make a very large book. The TRIBUNI
does not propose to supply it in a: news
paper article nor does it profess to b,
able to add anything new to what hat
already been said and written upon the
subject. 1t is, however, pleased to in.
dorse and emphasize the remarks made
by Senator Gibson before the board of
trade last Thursday, touching this
matter.
The senator's suggestion that the city
issue bonds the proceeds of the sale of
which to be applied to planting and ear
ing for trees in the city is an excellent
one and should be favorably acted upon.
1t would be money most advantageously
expended-a kind of bread cast upon
the waters which returns it's full hun
dred fold. Aside from the evidence
which well cared for trees present of the
culture and refinement of the people of
ii community. and aside from the beauty
and sense of comfort they add to the
streets and parks and drives of a place
there are sanitary reasons why the plant
ing and cultivation of trees should be
encouraged.
Many scientists contend that the
presence Of trees insurcs an equal dis
tribntion Of oxygen, and that ozone.
which is simply ''active oxygen is present
in forests or in the neighborhood of trees
when absent in waste places. !. writer
in Il communication to the American As
that We know no mode of genesis of
oxygen except the respiratory action of
the leaves of trees and plants under the
power Of the solar ray,and therefore that
the potential energy, the life, animal
heat and combustion now proceeding
upon the earth have their origin in the
heat upon plants and trees. BE
as it may, there is one well au-
thcnticatcd fact in connection with the
of trees and that is that the
percentage of mortality is less in wooded
districts than in %trcclcss ones.
The ease with which trees may be
grown in this city invites their planting.

that 1t was only IA few years ago the
presidency Of the United States was
stolen by M of the most dastardly out
