Higher Prices For Wool.

Boston, March 20.-The American
Wool and Cotton Reporter says of
the wool trade: The past week has
been distinctly period of higher
prices and increased activity. The
market is broadening and as we 90
to press the indications all point to
larger rather than smaller trans
actions. Taking the market as a
whole, it may perhaps be safe to say
that low grade woods are one cent
and fine grades one half to one cent.
Territory wools are still in very
strong demand and prices may be
said to perhaps show an advance of
2(93c on secured basis. The market
for foreign wools has been charact-
erized by great degree of activity
good sales of Australian secured and
South American cross bred being
recorded. Fleece woods have deve-
loped great strength owing to their
scarcity and to the excellent demand
for them. Sales in Boston for the
week aggregate 7,161 900, lbs 3,766,
600 lbs being domestic and 1886, 900
lbs foreign, compared with total of
,340, 800 lbs the corresponding week
last year.

We are sorry to lose Mr.. Brown
as a citizen and his many warm
friends here will regret to learn
that he deemed it necessary to prac-
tice his calling elsewhere. He is a
gentleman, thoroughly upright and
honorable, and to know is to respect
him. We hope that success may be
his in his new field, and there is no
reason why it should not, as he is
particularly qualified for the needs
Of the location he has chosen. He
is one Of the ablest mining attorneys
in the Black Hills and has had more
actual practice in securing mineral
patents than any mau in the state.
He was a trusted employe in the Of

vast number of patents secured by
the Harvey Peak Tin company dur

ated here. Success to our friend

reason for the increase in price of
sheep is the great reduction in num-

It Would Be Prohibitive.

In the schedule now before the
congressional ways and means COM
mittee in relation to the tariff on
cattle, the specific duty Of $6 per
head is considered by cattlemen to
be practically prohibitive. That,
of course, is not or should not be
the motive of those framing the
measure, as this country has a
great deal more to send to Mexico
than our neighbors have to us. A
specific duty of Sc per head on all

cattle imported into the United
States would be tremendous duty
upon the cattle that come in from
Mexico, as they are valued anywhere
from So to $15, whereas $6 specific
duty per head upon the fat cattle
that come in from Canada would be
a small duty, as they are valued any
where from $l5 to $40. The injustice
to the Mexican cattle is seen in these
two items. a 25 per cent ad val
orem duty would give ample protec-
tlon to breeders in this country and
at the same time would give the
government an income whereby no
one would be materially injured and
many would be benefited.

Bad Reports From the Range.

Dickinson, N. D., March 20. is
generally conceded among cattle
men here that 80 per cent of range
stock have already succumbed to
the winter, the warm wave coming
too late to save them. 1t is impos-
sible to travel over the range and
no exact figures can be had. Bad
lands ranges which have been over
crowded during the past few years
will have few cattle this season. It
is stated that Pierre Wibaux, the
big cat+leman of Montana and Da-
kota places his losses at $3.50, 900.
Last fall he put 10000 Utah cattle
on the range and they are all dead.

DELIMITING GREECE AND TUR-

Constantinople, June 16.-The ambas-
sailors of the Powers submitted to the
Turkish government yesterday a
scheme for the delimitation of the
frontiers of Greece and Turkey as
drawn up by the military attaches of
the different embassies during their
recent visit to Thessaly. 1t gives
Turkey the mountain crests on the
frontier Of Thessaly but the Turks are
not allowed to retain any villages of
Thessaly. Tewfik Pasha, Turkish
minister for foreign affairs, sale he
would submit the plan to the Sultan

THE FLOW OF WATER.

The flow of water through the sewers
before any connections have been
made greatly puzzles the mayor; he
believes there has been some very
gross negligence on the part of the city
officials in charge of the work in per-
hitting work to pass that is evidently
faulty. Either the sewers leak or the
ABSORPTION by the brick sewers is
much greater than it should be. Mayor
Callaghan and party did not see every
thing. Just above the point where the
outfall sewer begins at the Sunset
track twelve inch pipe was put in by
| the contractors to lead the flood Of
water off into the river and thus pro-
tect their work below for be it re-
membered the sewers were begun at
the wrong end. This pipe was never
taken up and is today dischargipg
water just below the railroad bridge.
How many of these drain pipes of this
kind there are nobody knows. So the
water problem will continue to vex the
city authorities A mud deposit is
also found in the manholes particularly
at the river. 1t is thought that the out
fall brick sewer has caved in at places
where it runs through cultivated farms.
WHAT KIND OF RIGHT-OF-WAY.
Mayor Callaghan will investigate the
question of right of way. The fact
that the sewers are being plowed over
and planted by property owners is
vexing as the manholes are hidden
and the inspection of the sewers
greatly interfered with. There is
much to learn about the sewers.
