The pearl discoveries in Arkansas
promise to rival in richness the big gold
ind in the Kloadike region. Two lakes
have been discovered there, it is said, in
which pearls are being raked up by the
bushel. and the gems are bringing the
standard prices right along. jewelers. are
giving up their jobs and going pearl hunt
ing and the excitement promises to rival
that of the Alaskan sensation. So far,
however, it is not apparent that the Ar
kansas discovery has had anything TO do
with the fall in the price of silver.
A new company is building five new
transatlantic liners for the purpose of en-
tering into active competition with the es-
tablished lines in the passenger business
The rates, 1t is said, viii be about % to 50
per cent. below those at present charged
This will no doubt compensate In great
measure for the new duties levied on pas
sengers under the Dingley tariff bill.

Montana Grasses


The investigation OF the forage
question in Montana, which is now
proceeding under the authority OF
he department of agriculture, is
| Pro <fesslng very satisfactorily
I"e inquiry is being conducted
under the direction of Professor
Lam eon Scribnar, the agrosto tologist
OF the department. He is a
recognized authority on the subject
and has special information on the
grasses of Montana. Nearly Is
years ago, while connected with
the northern ranscontinental
survey, he made field notes of
Montana grasses, which form ed
the basis of an interesting and
standard volume subsequently,
published.
The present Investigation not
only covers the native grasses aud
forage plants of the state, and the
best means Of preserving the more
valuable kinds, but another
important subject. This is the
methods necessary to be employed
IN reclaiming ranges which have
been rendered of little or no value
for grazing. The work began by a.
request for names of persons in
Montana interested in the
development and preservation of
the stock raising and dairy
in terosts of the state. To these
gentlemen circular letter was
addressed by the department It
requested 'eplies to q number OF
pertinent queries regarding forage
and also asked the persons
addressed to send lists OF other
persons likely to be interested.
Thus far about 200 answers have
been received, and the opinion is
very general among the gentlemen
answering that the ranges are
overstocked and that they have
declined in capacity. There is also
expressed a very strong conviction
that no foreign grasses can possibly
take the place of the natives.
John B. Turton of Helena.
secretary of the Montana Cattle
company, suggests that the arid
grazing lands be disposed of by
lease or sale. Private ownership
or self interest will best renew the
ranges and enable them to carry
as much stock as ever. He does
ro' believe ii profitable to attempt
80 rep ace the native grasses by
any others
Ex Senator t c Power says the
pri cipal forage need is hay and
grain for winter use. He thinks
the pasturage limit on the prairie
aud ranges proper is not over ID
head of cattle or horses. The
decrease 10 capacity is 60 or 70
per cent in some sections and it is
only a question Of time when the
y holG state will be the same. He
Suggests the disposing OF the land
to the state or to individ uals, the
to sell at auction after
due and timely notice He says
not more than III per cent OF the
area Of the state can ever be
irrigated sufficiently to insure
annua! crops.
N Jones of Miles City writes
that his section needs draught
resisting crops and autumn and
winter forage lie says awnless
bronze and alfalfa are the grasses
that do best without irrigation
The department recently purchased
II tons Of awnless bronze seed IN
Russia for distribution in this
country
Daniel Billion of Fort Benton
says rest for the ranges Is not
feasible He urges irrigation. and
points out that l 200, 900 inches
of water run idly by the fort He
thinks irrigation by individua,
effort could and would maintain the
livestock industry Standard

FROM WHEELING.
A Young Man from This City, Held in
Custody at Allegheny, Charged
With Being With Burglar Who
Was Killed While RObbing a House.

The Allegheny police have a Wheel
ing man named Oliver Palmer under
arrest, charged with assisting two
other parties in robbing a colored wo-
man. The police believe Palmer is
one of the companions of Thomas Os-
valid, the burglar who was killed by
a trap gun in the Etna borough last
Friday night.
Palmer, who is only eighteen years
of age, denies that he knew the bur-
glar killed at Etna. He was partially
identified, however, by John linn, a
restaurant keeper on Wylie avenue,
Pittsburg. He knew Oswald we'll, as
the latter frequented his place fer his
meals. He was almost certain Pal
mer was the man he had seen with
Oswald on several occasions in his
restaurant.
Palmer gave his home as Wheeling
and the name of the man with whom
he was employed here. Superintend-
ent of Police Henry Muth had a talk
with the boy, and said that he told
what seemed to be a straightforward
story. Supt Muth has written to the
police authorities here and will in
vestigate Palmer's story. The police
will also look up Palmer's record, as
considerable Importance it attached to
his Identification by linn. No action
will be taken in the case until the
reply of Chief Bennett is received.
The letter from the Allegheny chief
of police has not yet been received
at Headquarters

The strike situation at the Bellaire
steel plant took sudden turn yester-
day morning in favor of the strikers
when the blowing engineers and their
assistants, the mill wrights and assist
ants, the greasers and the engineers
and brakemen of the dinky engines,
about forty in all, served the manage
ment with a thirty-six hour notice
stating their intention to strike unless
the striking tonnage men of the steel
plant were restoredAto their old places
under their present demand, not desir-
ing to work where non-union men are
employed. From what could be learn
lest night no steps had been taken by
the company as to this crisis in the
situation, and if none is taken to-day
these men will, after having finished
their work this evening, join the steel
workers strike. AS the departments
in which these men intend ~ strike
must be filled with experienced hands,
1T is quite probable that the works will
have to shut down.
AS an addition TO the new men who
were brought to the mill Saturday
from Pittsburg, five more arrived from
that city last night over the c. & p.
One of the bosses accompanied the men
and the force were met by commit
tee Of the strikers who boarded the
train at Bridgeport. In a talk with
the strikers which Immediately ensued
the new men said that they were not
acquainted with the real difficulties
and came with the expectation that a
new mill was to be started. Neverthe-
less the new men alighted from the
train on the plant grounds and the
strikers remained on the train, alight-
ing at the depot Three of the new
men from Columbus were met yester-
day on the street by one of the strik-
ers who influenced them to return
home
A relief committee of ten of the
strikers made tour yesterday Of the
town, beginning at noon, and last even
ing had succeeded in collecting hun
bred dollars in cash and large wagon
load of provisions, including one hun
dred pounds Of Coffee a barrel of
flour and a barrel of sugar. These do
nations are to be distributed among
only a part of the strikers, as the ma
jority of them are yet in fair circum-
stances.

NEW LOCKS GO ON.

At yesterdays regular meeting of the
Committee on Court House and Jail OF
the Board of Commissioners, Sheriff
Richards appeared and made a request
for an examination of the doors and
locks of the Jail, and at the same time
asked that sufficient num-
Der of now and different
locks be put on the doors to
make the Jail reasonably secure. The
Committee and Sheriff adjourned to
the jail, where some time was spent
in examining the locks and doors and
in hearing the Sheriffs explanations,
experiences and ideas, and as result
the Committee will order four or five
new locks and also make some other
repairs, having for their object addi-
tional security. Sheriff Richards is
right in insisting that the county make
the Jail as secure as possible, for it is
very unreasonable to charge a public
official with the care of a prison which
has self-evident avenues of escape.
