tufore.

The traffic OF the Montana Central has
made most remarkable Gtriues during
the last year, While the growth Of
business between Great Falls and Butte
and Anaconda has accounted for large
part Of this increase, yet the general
business OF the road has also shown a
large expansion.
The wool business done this season by
the road has broken all records. Owing
to the sluggish market and the slow
manner in which wool has moved, the re-
sources of the road and the executive
ability of Agent Pheeney have been put
to severe test in handling it without
inconvenience and delay to freightere
| But this has been accomplished and the
wool men are highly pleased with the
efforts made to accommodate them. In
order to take care of the WOOL however.
1t has been necessary to use over 100 box
cars at the warehouse, which the COM
papy needed badly for other business
This expense will probably result in the
building of large addition to the wool
warehouse before another season, Ha the
company can better afford TO add another
building to their warehouse capacity
than to keep for SO long large number
OF cars whicu are 50 badly needed else
where.
The cattle shipping season is now
close at hand, The first shipment Of
sheep was made some time ego Ivy John
Fleming, ~ already noted in THE
INIBuNE. In addition, the following

tom, Evans, i5nider, Buol X Co. will ship Is
cars Of sheep on the l9th instant The
same firm will also ship 20 double deck
cars Of sheep from Big Sandy on July 25.
Another cattle shipment will bs made
on Aug. l, when Hunter 4 Spencer will
load GO Canda cars for the Chicago mar
ket.
Three train loads Of cattle from Idaho
are ON their way to Cut Bank and the
Blackfoot reservation. Two of these
trains contain cattle belonging TO Con
Kohra and the other belongs to G, +.
MeiIick. The last mentioned shipment
