Town from the frozen rth still
come stories OF nntold wealth
There comes, also, stories of hard~
ship and suffering; OF men cast
ashore at juneau and Circle City
with barely enough to procure a
small-sized piece. of dead dog, or
frozen to death in their frantic
efforts to reach this .'gold field. I"
Surely, Ii. Rider Haggard could
not have conveyed to the ina gina.
tioD more hardship than is gener-
ally endured by the seekers for
these modern King Solomon's
mines. In the meantime, the
steamship companies are receiving
their goody bonus of gold, through
The alluring and no doubt untrue
advertisements in the shape of
golden stories formed to catch the
'ickle mind and sent broadcast
throughout our land If the ex
odus from this country to the
Klondlke keeps on at the present
rate, by this time year hence
there will be an ounce of human
bone dust there to every ounce of
gold taken out-and the blood of
those victims will be on the heads
of these unprincipled men. We
note IN the Butte papers of late
date that large party of miners
left that place for the "el dorado"
of Alaska. We also unders tand
that they had "good grub stake"
probably $500 or $500 apiece.
Now, the Acautha does not con.
demn these men, and will say,
God speed you!-but we will ASK .
Would it not be better for US to
invest our money in something
II ore stablc-and that in Gods
country-than to risk our lives
and health in venture which at
best would yield but q few ounces
of gold? There comes golden
story 1--WE might say lie) from the
Klondike, written by man whom,
we regret to say, halls from this
county-one Aldrich by name
This man, we know, would not be
believed under oath by anyone who
is we'll acquainted with him. The
Acantha also regrets to note that
his story has received considerable
attention throughout the state
Alaska is probably good place
for HMM this life, at least--and
probably would be in the one to
ccme. Again, the Acantha ad-
vises: Beware of these lies!

An interesting experiment has
just taken place at Selkirk, Eng
land, when q snit of clothes was
produced from raw material in less
than eight hours. Two sheep
we're shorn in the morning, the
wool was secured, dyed, carded
and spun in one establishment in
two hours. and twenty minutes: the
warping, wefting, milling and fin
ishing occupied three hours and
fifteen minutes at another, while
the making took up two hours and
twenty minutes, the whole time
oeing seven hours and five minutes,
and the suit was worn on the
afternoon of the day on which the
wool was clipped. A similar
experiment was made some sixty
years ago at Ettrick mills, when
the wool was spun on the old hand
iennies and woven on hand looms.
At that time jacket and vest were
completed in sixteen hours, and IN
those days it was deemed o
remarkable performance. -Phila.

WOOL AND HIDES.

The following Is clipped from
the Anaconda Recorder, and tells
what Montana senators acco H.
plished for these products
During the discussion of the tar
iff bill, both senators were very
active, Senator Carter being par
ticulatly so before the caucus and
committee, while Senator Mantle
was genera ly heard upon every
proposition, viz; Lead, hides,
barley, cyanide of potassium, lum g,
Der and wool, and upon every
interest generally speaking, in
which the west was concerned. and
he was always very active in
the general debate upon the bill.
When the bill was presented to the
senate it only carried the provision
for l cent duty on lead. This was
too small, and Senator Mantle i'm.
mediately introduced an amend
melt providing for duty of l 12
cents per pound. Senator Carter
fought valiantly for this in the
caucus, both senators working in
unison, and it was soon demon
strated that this was one of the
amendments that had to stick, and
thanks to their perseverance, it
was incorporated in the BIZ, as

Business improvements.

AAaARA VrCtalOHa
The unexpectedly early fall
demand for staple merchandise,
which Bradstreet's announced las.
week, is pronounced, and although
not conspicuous at some Of the
larger eastern cities, which il IL
approaching, is notably so tat
points in the Mississippi aud
Missouri valleys, and in the larger
wheat growing states. A special
lnvesti CATION by Bradstreet's this
week shows that increased
purchases by country merchants
in the regions specified, based on
the spec alatively large wheat crop
at home, in the face of short wheat
crops abroad, has increased bust
ness with western jobbers from 10
to 25 per cent, compared with fall
trade at a like period last year.
The total volume OF this new busi-
ness is not large, but it is unusual
in this dull month Of the year, aud
is increasing. A number OF west
ern implement factories are unable
to fill their orders for nearby
delivery, and one order for shoes
alone at St. Louis calls for $35, 900
worth of goods. The depression
among wooden manufacturers is
less pronounced, because prices of
cheyiots aud other woolcns have
begun to advance, poiLting to
profits IN handling high priced
wool. The greatest Improvement
among the jobbers and wholesalers
in various lines is at Chicago, St
Louis, Kansas City, Omaha. St.
Paul and Minneapolis. A number
Of large trunk line.rallways report
that they are carrying more mer.
chanoise than two or three years
ago. Fewer manufacturing indus.
tries than expected have been
compelled to close, owing to lack
OF coal on account of the strike,
the principal check being due to
higher prices for fuel. IRON and
steel and cotton goods industries
are more favorably situated thar
almost any other. Bessemer pig
IRON and steel billets continue at
the lowest quotations known. The
latter is a shade under $l4, await
ing the renewed demand which has
begun to show itself in staple lines
of merchandise. The shutting
down OF cotton mills to force a
reduction of stocks on hand has
,ready stiffened prices, and with
existing conditions in other lines
of business, the outlook is for
better request for cotton goods
and for iron and steel in the early
autumn The most favorable feat
ure OF trade is its slow conserva-
5ive steady expansion, it being
based on the increased wants and
larger consumptive capacity of the
agricultural community, with
whom the prospect is brighter than
it has been for six years. Practi.
callv, the only decreases in quota
tions this week are for iron and
steel. The list OF advances is
longer and more signiticent, includ-
ing prices of wheat, flour, corn,
lard, Sugar, live stock, cotton.
W. o!en goods and nails. There
were 259 business failures repor ted
throughout the United States this
week, rather more than the aver
age IN recent weeks.

1t is rumored that the Great
Falls Leader and Tribune have
decided to Introduce in their
respective offices a labor saving
device commonly called the "Mer-
ganthaler linotype" Whether or
not this machine is a success or a
benefit to the con munity does not
remain to be proven. The Acantha
only hopes that the time is not far
off when Dupuyer will have grown
to such proportions as to warrant
the publishing of a daily paper
and that paper will probably be
the Acantha-and we will print it
by machinery-if it don't cost too
much.

offered by Senator Mantle, pro-
viding that lead bullion from lead
ores imported into this couotry in
bond shall either be re-exported,
Or the duty paid within six months
after receipt of the ore. The next
lively skirnish was over the hide
proposition. The leather men,
backed by Senators Lodge and

ern senator's. put up quite bluf
and declared openly that they
would defeat this provision
Man ties amt ndment took hides Of
of the free list and made them
dutiable at l l cents per pound,
a specific rate. The fight was won
by our men, who outgenera.ed the
eastern contingent, and while the
duty has been made ad valorem
and placed at Is per cent, still this
is considered f..ir rate of protec
tion-in fact, more than the l l q
cents per pound The wool sche-
dule was the inter sely interes ing
proposition, and was n ade SO by
the active opposition of the eastern
anufacturers, who have little
thought for the farmer, provided
they can get their raw materials
at the lowest price Senators
Carter and Warren were especially
active in caucus and in their work
before the finance committee in
behalf of the woolgrowers; but 1T
is universally conceded here that
the brunt of the fight upon the
floor of the senate rested upon
Senator Mac,le, and that the
committee was largely Influenced,
first by his speech, and second by
the debate which he led upon the
floor of the senate, in making
changes which rebound to the
benefit OF the woolgrowers. His
statements were onvincing, and
not single one was controverted

River Press: The con parative

lamb stock by eastern and local
spectators. Transactions of this

cases by the con parative value or

Last Thursday at Great Falls
Clark Bros. ranch, in this county,
which for nine months past has
been in possession of the court,
under attachments of the North
western National bank, was
formally turned over to it's owners,
and Walter S. Clark has con to
this county to accept the property
back and take possession of the
same. The entire amount due the
bank has been satisfac orilv
settled by a conference in
Washington between Comptroller
Eckels and all parties interested.
The settlement will be a source of
satisfaction to the many friends of
the Clark brothers in this state.
The wool clip of the Clark sheep
this season will be about 200, 900
pounds, and in all probability will
be signed to New York just as
soon as it can be getten in readi.
ness for transportation. In the
matter OF damages claimed by the
firm, by reason of the bank
attachments, board of arbitra-
tion has been appoiL ted, and a
speedy settlement will probably be
effected.
