This Is a sagacious Dog.

There is a prominent business man
in Washington who is something of
a dog fancier and takes pride in a
pair of English settlers that have held
a prominent place in several bench
shows in the country. Some months
ago one of them developed an in
cipient case of ophthalmia and was
taken to an oculist for treatment, just
as naturally as would have been any
other member of the family. The
treatment, which consisted of drops
to be put in the patients eye, proved
quite successful and relieved the
trouble for a time, but after awhile
it came on again, and a second eX-
petition was planned to the doctors.
Film Flam seemed to know where
he was going, for on entering the
square where the oculist had his of
fee he raced ahead of his master and
got up the steps where he had been
but once before, and on the door be-
ing opened bolted straight for the
treatment room, instead of waiting
his turn down stairs al two legged
patients learn to do to their sorrow
and impotence. This time the treat
ment was a zinc solution that was
very severe and brought the water
in streams from the patients eyes,
but he took it with his nose in the
air, never wincing, and the only sign
of feeling he made was to hold out
one paw pathetically for his masters
h~and.-Washington Post.

WHAT CAUSED IT?

So it seems ID. l.. Shafer, while in
Chicago with his beef cattle, learned
the true cause of the depression in the
mutton market by conversing with
Shannon Bros, the commission men.
He reports them as saying that it was
all owing to supply and demand, and
not attributed to the Democratic ad-
ministration or prospective tariff
changes" Now, this would make the
average sheep dog laugh, but as it was
in accord with Mr.. Skaters peculiar
views he retails it in all seriousness, no
doubt. Supply and demand must be
attributed to something and he is
a superficial ass who cannot detect
the cause Of the great slump in the
mutton market this season. Ask any
woolgrower who has been to Chicago
with sheep about the state of the mar
ket and he will tell you that every
thing that looks like a sheep has been
shipped there to realize any price be-
cause the grower must have money,
and even at this late date sheep are on
the way to the railroad to be placed on
the market OPPORTUNITY. Why is
this shipping of lambs and ewes as well
as wethers going on so increasingly to
crowd the market as it has never been
crowded before? Woolgrowers are sac
rifcing sheep that they would prefer to
keep on the range in order that they
may get money to save them from
financial ruin. Why is this? Simply
because they have received practically
nothing from their wool clip and must
get money to meet running expens.s.
many of them bought more sheep and
land last year, o dreaming that the
Democracy would secure all branches
of the government in the election or
that the bottom would fall out Of the
wool market by the threat of free wool.
But the worst happened. There is no
demand for wool and 10 meet the loss
growers must place half of their sheep
on the market to be sold at any price.
We believe if the actual figures were
obtained it would be shown hat ore
sheep were shipped to the Chicago
market from Montana this year than
for the past FIVE years. Falsehood and
MISREPRESENTATION will fool no one
the facts are so plain that a school boy
understands them.

Will Hanks Indicted.

At Helena last Friday the United
States grand jury returned a true bill
against Will Hanks, ex-president OF
the Merchants National bank of Great
Falls, for the wrongful conversion of
the funds of that institution.
The specific charge in the indictment
is that Hanks pledged fifty shares of
the stock of the Cascade bank, stand
ing in his name, to George A. Wells,
cashier of the Merchants bank, Tor a
loan obtained Dec. L, 1890, and that
on Sept. Is, 1891, ne ~wrongiully took
the stock out of the bank.
Hanks, who vas under bonds given
before the United States commission
at Great Falls, was ordered by Judge
Knowles to furnish new bonds in
$1,000 to await trial. He had al
ready employed Col. w. F. Sanders,
Lieut.. Gov. Botkin and Thos. Carter
as his counsel.
Hanks was allowed to go in search
of bail in company with Col. Sanders,
who promised to be answerable for
his appearance. Hanks secured Com
modore T. C. Power and Richard
Jockey as bondsmen.

A Card from County Assessor Gikerson.

EDITOR ARGUS: Will you grant me space
in your columns to make a statement rela-
five to the interests OF every axpayer in
Fergus county.
This year our rate OF taxation is unques-
tionably higher than it vas last, but ] am
in no sense responsible for this condition
OF affairs, notwithstanding the efforts of
certain parties to make it appear that l
am. In the first place the board OF com-
m~issioners increased the tax levy from ICY
to II mills and one can see at a glance
that this alone would cause a material in.
crease in the amount of taxes to be paid.
Then some say I was a party to the in
crease, but l was in no way connected with
the increased levy. 1t is true that I was
a mir ority member OF the board which
fixed the rate OF assessment upon lands,
the other two member being Commissioner
John W. Beck and ex-County Assessor l..
w. Eldridge. The valuation OF land was
somewhat increased as shown by the fol-
lowing:
Last year grazing land was assessed at
81. rs an acre; this year it was rated at SO
per acre.
Last year agricultural land was rated at
$40 per acre. while this yearit was assessed
at S12 per acre.
Hay land which was assessed last year
at 81 per acre was raised to Sc per acre.
And again there is another item which
figures largely and that is the matter of
horses. My assessment on this class of
stock was. Notwithstanding numerous pro-
tests, increasd about II per cent by the
state board of equalization. This l fully
realize was an injustice to owners. but l
was powerless to prevent the increase.
Then in the rating OF milch cows, my as
sessment was altered by the state board.
Cows owned by ranchmen and used simply
for family purposes ] assessed at $50, but
the board made a uniform rate of S25 per
head. making a considerable increase in
this direction. II l have in any particular
neglected my duties I am perfectly willing
to accept censure. but 1 think it both un-
fair and unjust to be criticised for condi
tions for which l am in no way responsible
and I trust that the taxpayers OF Fergus
county will impartially investigate the sit
%uation before accepting preiudicial state.

The county commissioners of Silver
Bow county have secured an opinion
from Attorney Gen. raj Haskell which
will be...a guide to the commissioners
of the several.counties of 1.-THE state in
letting contracts aud making appoint
ments. The attorney general holds
that county commissioners cannot
make appointments beyond one fiscal
year, which ends Dec. 1, according to
legislative enactment. He even says
the commissioners must elect their
own chairman each year; can only ap.
point a road supervisor for one year.
Otherwise he holds a board might ap-
point officers and let contracts for in
definite periods and the succeeding
boards could not undo their work. Mr..
Haskell says that this is not the intent
of the law. 1t specifically provides that
contracts must be be let each year,
even by the state furnishing board.

They told US that just as soon as the
repeal bill was passed that stocks and
bonds would go up and that Wall
street would fairly hum with activity.
The bill was passed on he 18th of
October and up to date the great actlv-
ity has failed to comes as advertised. In
the meanwhile some Of the leading pa
pers of the United States are making
INQUIRIES about it and are wondering
if il is possible that they were mis-
taken in their views on the silver ques-
ton. Some of these as well al states
men now admit that it is ~self-evident
that silver had nothing at all to do
with the depression. If they had ad-
united this earlier it would have been
better for this western country; but as
it is the west can afford to sit quietly
by and witness the conversion OF east
ern people and their acceptance of
salvation from the silver miners
Bozeman Chronicle (Dem.)
Certainly. 1t is just as Republicans
have contended all the time. Silver
had nothing to do with the financial
depression and the general paralysis of
business. It is the threat of free trade
and the change in our industrial policy
that is doing the mischief. "Simply
that and nothing more"

ON THE TRAIL.
Heroic Measures for the Relief of Young
Carlin.

A dispatch from Missoula says:
Captain George Andrews, command
ing the Carlin relief expedition, has es-
tablished headquarters at the head
of Lolo pass, where he will remain I'M
til definite news is heard, using this
camp as a base of supply and COM
munication. Details on snow shoes
will take the trail, closely followed by
pack horses as far as possible, and
then forge ahead a best they can.
Lieutenant Campbell started to join
the party this morning after having
attempted the trip by way of Saltese.
Prospectors in from Cedar creek, on
the Occur d'Alene branch, another
trail into the Clearwater, report ten
feet OF snow on the divide. A party
of Indians succeeded in getting
through only after sacrificing ten of
their horses and undergoing the sever
est hardships.
\ The Carlin party is composed OF w.
E. Carlin, son OF Brigadier General
Carlin, commandant of the depart
ment OF Columbia, with headquarters
at Vancouver, Wash, his brother-in-
law, John Harvey Pierce, and A. H.
Himmelwright of New York, with "A
guide.
1t is learned from a courier who ar
rived yesterday from the camp of the
Carlln relief party, that Captain An
drews was this morning at Warm
Springs, thirty-four miles from Fort
Missoula, and the advance were max

from Lolo springs. At the Lolo sum-
nit the permanent camp. supplied
with hay, grain and provisions has
been made. The greater portion OF
the troops will remain at Warm
Springs and keep the trails open each
way for the relief party proper.

The greatest amount of wool ever
imported in any single year was under
the Mckinley law for the year ending
June 80, 1898. The imports of raw
wool ihen were over 169, 100000 lbs, or
80 per ZEN more than the importations
of any previous year. This refutes
and disposes OF the charges so often
made by free traders that it is neces-
sary to put wool on the free list in or
der to give American manufacturers
cheap foreign woods for mixing. They
never imported 80 much foreign wool
as under the last year of the Mckinley
law, the schedules of which were SO
wisely drawn that under it the wooden
mi Is of the United States were nm
ployed to their full capacity, 80 that
the entire American clip of 1892 Was
moi only all consumed in our home
market, but los. 100000 lbs. of foreign
wool besides.-Ex.

Ailments.

An opinion is gaining ground that
ailments are by nc means
exclusively the product of a fin de
steele age or we of a highly devel-
oped civilization. DIR. Rose of the
Georgia Medical college propounds a
theory that any sudden change in the
social habits and conditions of a race
at any stage of advancement is suffi-
cient to induce epilepsy in large guam
titles, and instances are given of Its
prevalence among many savage PEG
pie, notably the Hurons and the Iro-
quois at the time of the Jesuit mis-
sion, and more particularly still the
Sibiritic tribes, who may be thrown
into commissions by suddenly tapping
on their huts.-London Public Opin-

GILT EDGE ITEMS.

A great deal of Joy has been mani
fest for the past twenty-four hours
as a consequence of yesterday being
pay day.
A great many prospectors are in
winter quarters here, and the ada
cent hills may look for a thorough
prospecting in the early spring.
A building boom has struck this
burg, and Lewistown will have to
look to her laurels close. She will
soon be the second townin thecounty.
Josep Rioux is doing a good bust
ness carrying express between here
and Gilt Edge. He in every
day heavily loaded. Passengers are
transported on good time between the
two places.
Gilt Edge has now three hotels, two
restaurants, one general store, one
drug store, five saloons. one butcher
shop and a livery stable, and n
butcher shop and u livery stable in
course OF erection.
The fair sex is represented in this
place by about twenty ladies, all of
whom are married. A public school
should be established here, as there
are enough children OF school age to
insure a larse attendance.
1t is generally understood here that
a telephone line is to be constructed
between here and Lewistown. We all
hope this report will be verified as it
will greatly facilitate the transaction
of business between the two places.
The Gilt Edge company is pushing
things and have the mill in shape for
a successful winters run. The force
on the Chickadee and Gilt Edge prop
critics, and refined gold will be the
product from this date as the refinery
is now finished.
Snow and blow is the order of
weather as supplied by the United
States weather clerk for this corner of
the hills. In fact the residents OF this
place have been thinking seriously of
petitioning his royal highness, Grover,
for a signal service station that they
may be supplied with a sample of
better weather.

Assistant Commissioner Bowers Of
the general land office has rendered
two decisions constituting a provision OF
the timber culture repeal law of March
3, 1891. That law provided that per-
sons who had made timber culture
and who had planted and cultivated
trees for foul years should be allowed
to prove up on the land by payment OF
Sl.25 per acre. Mr.. Bowers holds that
if the entryman has cultivated for any
four years and then ceased to do any
more he is entitled to the land If no
contest has been commenced against
him prior to the time when he made
application under the act. He holds
that this act was curative in intent and
should be regarded as comr'i--.e, pro-
yiding there is no adverse claimant.
