SHEEP SHEARING MACHINES,
AT Least $50 Can Easily BE shorn In
Eight Hours.

At Least $50 Can Easily BE shorn in
Eight Hours.
The Natrona (Wyo) Tribune gives
an interesting account Of newly in
vented sheep shearing machine to run
by steam or other power. The machin-
cry consists of fourteen horse boiler,
and nine-horse engine, which dives a
line of shafting forty feet long, on which
are fastened ten friction pulleys, from
each of which is connected universal
shalt about ten feet in length, which
revolves at rate of 4,eoO revolutions
per minute. To the lower end of the
shaft, and reaching to within one inch
OF the floor, is attached the clipper or
shear, which is of the finest workman
ship, and provided with ball bear ing
parts where there is likely to be very
much Fiction. The knives are Of
hardened and tempered steel. and
operate on the same principle of the q
With which the moving machine is pro.
,ided.
The capacity OF the machine ia only
limited by the ability Of the shearer to
guide over the animal. 1t is estimated
that at least 15o can be easily shorn in
one day OF eight hours by each machine
making the output Of this plant 1850
per day, with three shifts of men.
The wonderful success thus far at
tained by the machinee, and their en-
dorsement by the leading wool growers
who have witnessed their operations,
starts the enterprise off with flying
colors. Prominent wool growers from
all parts Of the country have been in
vited to inspect the new machines and
their work, and scarcely a train comes
in but brings some of them.

The Judge Entertains a Numerous Audi
ence Nearly All of Which Donate
Sums to the City Treasury.
A numerous audience greeted his
honor when he opened court Monday
morning, all the members of which had
explanations to make to the Judge. As
they climbed the golden stairs to the
temple OF justice they appeared like a
dilapidated division of Coxey's army
from Wayback and bore evidence that
the way OF the transgressor is hard.
James Young, being stated to have
been considerably ardent-spirited and
bis behavior being very detrimental to
the peace of the city paid the court s5,
but as it costs money to gather up OBJ
streperous persons he was assessed fur
ther S3.25, and three days were given
him in the city mansion to Wow his con-
duct with remorse.
James Madden, having been plainly
drunk, contributed $7.25 to the city
funds, and James O'BrieD, having been
in similar predicament, anted up the
same amount.
Frank Hemway had d. ID. charged
against him, meaning, probably, delight
fully delirious, and at the judges earnest
demand paid up 1925.
Gordon Murray, having solemnly as
serted he would turn over new Leaf of
a book OF better quality was afforded a
chance 10 do 30.
John Mccall, having shown pugilistic
tendencies calculated to disturb the
peace OF Great Falls. disbursed So to en-
able the serenity Of the atmosphere to be
restored.
Charles Cutting and Frank Lallie be
ing apparently gentlemen of leisure. but
not having the epondulacks to properly
sustain that position, and Furthermore
this being the third interview they have
had with his honor as regards their
financial position, we're given three days
in the city boarding house without q
meal ticket, and without price.
Old Pat Collins bobbed up again
serenely, and in answer to his honor
made pathetic assertion, that he had
his clothes all rolled up, bis only earthly
wish was to get out of town, IL he took a
tie contract to do it, and IL the court
would grant bis wish he solemnly as
severated he would not return until cold
weather. His wish was granted, and he
was told that full squad Of police
would watch the thermometer
till freezing point was reached and il
he was found inside the city
limits before that, he would be
hauled up with three inch cable to the
tune OF "Slap Bang Here we are Again"
The last seen of p. G. was a black
streak rapidly approaching the horizon.
The roll call being now finished the
judge found the total days assessment
to be s38 25, which would most certainly
not indicate hard times with some peo-
pie.

The executive session Of the board of
school trustees last Saturday night has
been the cause OF much public comment
AS the matter Of the school bonds is a
public affair, and one in which every tax
payer is interested, it is deemed proper
that the public should know every step
taken for the recovery of the bonds. BY
80 doing the public will be able to deter
mine whether the trustees are
doing their duty or not, for
as public officers they are public
servants, and are open to criticism. The
Great Falls board Of school trustees
have not yet reached the pinnacle of the
United States Senate, that they can in

star Route to Augusta.

The postoffice department at Washing
ton according to it's usual custom, either
BY its accustomed ignorance Of the wants
Of the west or through the Vaccinations
Of some unknown parties, has decided
that the star route from Great Falls to
Augusta Is not required by the exigen-
cies OF the public service. Let US see il
this is the case Here is Great Falls, a
city Of nearly 12,O0o inhabitants, no por-
ton Of which is an agricultural element,
but essentially consuming population.
The city is built at the mouth of Sun
river. Forty-five miles up this river is
Augusta, the center Of the largest agri-
cultural section in northern Montana.
Between Great Falls and Augusta with
the exception of the Fort Shaw reserva-
tion) the whole valley is settled, but
mail communication from Great Falls
only extends twenty-five miles A letter
from Augusta to Great Falls at present
is taken about thirty miles over range
Of mountains to Craig, railroad station
about fifty-three miles from Great Falls
and the stage arriving too late in the day
to connect with the train.
The mail by star route from Great
Falls can be easily carried to Augusta in
one days travel and give direct service
to our city to section forty miles long
and many miles in width whose COM
mercial relations are with Great Falls.
1t is to this section, that Great Falls
looks for large share Of grain for her
flour mills, and agricultural products for
her population. Settlers are crowding
into the upper waters of Sun river and
the Teton rivers, and common justice
demands direct mail communication.
1t is to be hoped that our Board of
Trade, and Chamber of Commerce will
not relinquesh their efforts in obtaining
this necessary addition to our mail
service

USE OF SHEEP DIPS.

Wool Manufacturers Condemn the Use OF
Sulphur in Dipping Sheep.
The following timely advice is from
the Boston Wool and Cotton Reporter:
In connection with our advice to
wool growers concerning the preparation
OF their clips for market, a word should
be said in regard to the use of sheep
dips. Owing to the very discoursging
times through which wool growers are
passing, we fear there may be an inclina.
ton to economize in dipping by using
the home made sulphur dip. This ie
poor economy and every wool grower
should be cautioned against employing
it.
A leading Texas wool buyer showed
us this week letters from several wool
growing section Of that state in which
1t was asserted sheep breeders were 90.
ing to buy little il any patent dip this
year, but were going to use lime and
sulphur. We hasten to say, don't do it!
Don't by any means, injure your wool
which is already heavy this season and
none too strongly grown, by employing
sulphur dip. The wool trade and the
wool manufacturers most emphatically
condemn the use Of sulphur in dipping
sheep.
Though sulphur dip may be sure
preventative and curative of scab,
though it may effectually remove ticks
and other parasites from sheep, its use
is very detrimental to the fleece. Sui
phur dip makes the wool hard to scour
and gives it poor color. 1t introduces
an acid that is not removed in the ordi-
nary process Of wool securing and that
is fatal to the dyeing of certain colors.
There are many first. class patent dips on
the market which are cheap and which
will kill parasitic growth. which do not
stain the wool and which, on the other
hand, cure scab, act as tonic to the
skin and promote the growth Of the
wool. Employ these, by all means,
rather than use sulphur dip.
In offering this advice it is not our
purpose to promote the use of any spec
ial patent dips, but to extend to wool
growers such counsel as is for their best
interest.

A new rifle, surprising all the others
in every particular, is soon to be brought
out by French inventor. 1t is a maga.
zine gun, extremely light and can fire
100 cartridges without overheating the
barrel. Its recoil is so slight that the
soldier is never troubled with it, and its
100 cartridges, which are less than half
the weight of the same number of cart
ridges Of any other rifle, can be fired
without taking the weapon from the
shoulder. The effects of its little bull

Held, arrived in Pine Bluff, and being 8 very good musician was taken in as q member of the Cotton Belt Gornet Band and, as it turned out, theeornet band was also "taken in, for Held got posses sion of one of the finest horns owned by the band and skipped the town by the light of the moon. carrying the musical instrument with him. Detective N. 4. Clay was employed by the band to try and recover the missing instrument, but he could learn nothing of it until the other day when he was in Little Rock at- tending the Sheriffs' convention. While there he met Sheriff Kept Houpt. of Garland county, and men toned the fact of the horn having been stolen and described it and asked him to see if such an instfu- ment could be found in Hot Springs. That officer soon telegraphed Mr. Clay that it had been found in Hot Springs, but that the holder refused to surrender ft. Mr. Clay left for Hot Spring last evening with | writ of replevin for the horn, and q war rant for the thief, whose real name is ". F.
