COMMISSIONER SUMMER
Submits Some Figures in a Statement
as to Expenses of the
WoTkhouse.

Commissioner J. b. Summers submits
for publication certain figures, with com
ments thereon. The comments are not
so pertinent as the figures, being the de-
duotions of an individual. No credit is
given for the value of the property or for
work done on county roads, which was
not asked by the superintendent but or
dered by the county commissioners and
workhouse trustees, after hundreds of
citizens of the county had petitioned that
the work be done. However, Mr.. Sum
mer submits the following which he
says he CLEANED from the auditors books.

MINISTER'S TO SAIL
They win Spy Out the Land for
Information.


WASHINGTON, D. c., May 13-The
Star, an annexation paper, says:
That the administration is keeping
a watchful eye on the situation in
Hawaii was ascertained beyond a
doubt in the information received
by Star reporter to-day that Col.
E. A. Buck, the new Minister to
Japan, will stop at Honolulu on the
way to his post.
Minister Bucks intentions have
been to leave San Francisco June 5.
He has now decided to leave San
Francisco on the 29th of this month.
He will spend week at Honolulu
and will take the next passing
steamer for Japan. He will proba-
bly, leave San Francisco with Harold
Sewall, the new Minister to Hawaii.
They will be together week in
Honolulu, and in that time will be
able to jointly acquire great deal
OF valuable Information as to the
exact situation of the in aux of Japa-
nese into the islands.
OF course it is impossible to learn
from Colonel Buck or Mr.. Sewall
the nature of their instructions. 1t
is known, however, that the admins
tration has been deluged with stories
Of the alleged attempts of the Japa-
nese to colonies the islands and, in
time, start y revolution to secure
possession OF them. The dispatch
of the warship Philadelphia to
Honolulu and recent developments
in other ways have been sufficient
to keep all eyes open.
The japanese legation here has
persistently denied that Japan has
any designs on the islands. The re-
ports, however, have evidently be-
come 30 conflicting to President
Mckinley that he has declined to
ascertain for himself just what is
going on, He has given the instruc-
tions under which Minister Buck
will act. The knowledge which
Minister Buck will get in Honolulu
will be of benefit to him when he
reaches Japan. He will be in posi-
tion to more readily understand the
future movements of the Japanese
Another matter is that of annex
alton, Minister Sewall is supposed
to favor annexation, and many peo-
Pile believe the plans OF the admin
istration tend to ultimate annex
alton II this is the case, and Japan
being interested more than any other
country, it is diplomatic movement
to have Minister Buck post himself
AS much as possible on the situation
in Hawaii and Japan.

BosToN, Dec. 22.-The American
Wool and Cotton Reporter will say
tomorrow of the wool market:
The past week territory woods have
displaced Australian as a feature Of
the market. Sales of territory were
almost 10 times as large as those of
the previous week amounting in the
aggregate to over 100000 pounds.
A number of the heaviest buyers in
the country have been in the market
Large transactions in territory
wool are reported to have been
made at full rates, at about Is or 20
cents. Whatever concessions are
made are for the most part on old
wool. Coming events cast their
shadows before, and large purchases
of Montana this week are considered
to- be an earnest of "a widespread de-
mand for wool after the new year
has made it's appearance. Foreign
woods have been largely neglected.

HELENA, Dec. 2l.-This afternoon
Gov. Smith, who returned today
from the east, settled all doubt as to
who would fill the vacant associate
justiceship by appointing William T.
Pigott of Great Falls. The governor
said that he made the appointm
of Mr.. Pigott In justice to the demo-
Gratis of the state, who agreed with
the populists at the Misoula con-
vention. The appointment of Mr..
Pigott meets with general favor here,
and is generally considered to be one
of the best In point of fitness that the
governor has yet made. The bar OF
this city. regardless of politics. joins
in the hearty endorsement OF the
young man from Great Falls, whose
scholarly attainments and acknowl-
edged legal ability have won him
this appointment. The appointee
never asked for the position, but he
was supported by some of the best
lawyers in the state. His appoint
ment takes effect as soon as he quail
ifies.

Monday was pleasant enough, the

weather quite warm. About 9 or 10
O'Clock In the evening, however, the
wind came up from the northwest
and a heavy rain followed, CON-
pletely soaking everything exposed
in q few minutes. Then the wind
shifted to the north and froze the
wet and sOggy earth and grass stiff
in a sheet Of ice. On top of this came
a light fall of snow, hiding the ice
just enough to deceive one. In addi-
ton. the temperature dropped to 16
below on Tuesday morning and to
1Sh on Wednesday. To say the least,
range conditions are not good
Sheep and cattle are having a hard

LARGEST FOR FIVE YEARS


NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
The weekly report shows a remark
ably large holiday trade. At many
points 1t is the largest for five years.
Moreover, at the season when whole
sale business usually shrinks, the
pressure of demands for immediate
deliveries, which results from the un-
precedented distribution to con-
sumers, keeps many establishments
at work that usually begin their
yearly rest spell somewhat earlier.
Instead of decreasing, the demand
for products shows an unexpected
increase in several important
branches. The foreign trade con-
tinues satisfactory, even In compar-
isOn with the remarkable record oil a
year ago, when exports exceeded
Sill, ,OO0, 900 In December. The bank
failures at Philadelphia. due to indi-
vidual operations, cause no distur'
bance and the commercial failures
for the month have been less tnan
one-half of last years up to tne
came date. Failures In the Cniteo
states, 2s2, against 2s7 last year.

nAcKEY & PICK.
General Blacksmiths and Wagonmskers.

The industries most useful and nee
essary are those which supply the
needs of the community In which
they are situated. Among such in
dustries in Lewistown, none are
more worthy of favorable mention
than the firm of Mackey & Pick,
general blacksmiths, machinists, and
wagon makers.
There are other callings which re-
quire as great a degree of efficiency
and expert knowledge as that of the
blacksmith, but it may be safely as
serted that there is not another in
the whole realm of the mechanical
arts in which the expert, tO succeed,
must command in SO great a degree
the confidence of their patrons and
of the public.
In their special line of work, Messrs.
Mackey and Pick are recognized
leaders.
Though the firm of Mackey &
Pick was established but a few
months ago, the members of the firm
are old residents of this section.
Mr.. j. III. Mackey came to Lewis
town four years ago. and has been
in business here continually since
that time.
Frank Pick. the junior member OF
the firm, was for ten years the lead.
ing blacksmith of Maiden, and was
also in business at Fort Maginnis
during the palmy days.
Both members Of the firm are well
known as efficient and painstakine
workmen and for their manly quail
ties of head and heart.

Profits Of The Great Gambling Resort We're
Two HiIlion the Past Year.

The receipts from the gambling
hell at Monte Carlo for the past year
were $2,970,000. the expenses being
81, 100000, of which the prince of
Monaco got s4OO.OOO. Among the
items of expense was one of 100000
for the prevention of suicide, and
another 100000 travelling money to
enable unfortunates who had lost
their all tn reach their homes. The
profit of nearly $4,000, 900
are eloquent of the fieeceing that goes
on at this famous resort. No one
breaks the bank" save in a concert
hall song, and those who win simply
win at the expense of their fellow
players. Thirty-five suicides in a
year tell the tale of despair that at
tends this form of amusement and
taken into conjunction with the
gross profits Of the concern preach a
telling homily against gambling.

The Turks Fire on the Stars and Stripes but
Promptly Apologize.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, Dec. N.-It ap-
pears that when the United States

A boat from the warship, sent
shoreward to ask for an explana-
ton, was fired upon and compelled
to return.
Thereupon the American admiral
lodged a protest with the United

the guilty parties and an apology
from the Turkish government, which
was given on Sunday last.
In addition, two Turkish officers
