The Iambing season . begun in

OF q week or two. Al the ranches Of
McLeish Bros. and of C. III. Ragland IN
Choteau county the season a already

continue there will be but a small per-
centagc OF loss. The grass Ia In GOOD
shape. there have been no cold rains
and the weather conditions are extreme
ly favorable to the birth Of the woclly
fellows. While there have been many
sheep sold from North Montana, most
OF the deliveries were not to be made
until after the iambing season, and OF
the sheep sold not q large proportion
were ewes. 1t is therefore believed h q
the crop will at least be as large as the
average.

located or Snow creek. and is one of a
group that is owned by a stock COM
pany. Of which Mr.. Roehl and his boys
and F. d. Noenberg are the principal
owners. On the Black Diamond a
great deal Of work has been done. A
shaft has been sunk on the lead for a
considerable distance. Then the com-
pany started a tunnel to strike the lead
at q depth of 500 feet. The tunnel has
already been driven 400 feet through

pect to strike the lead in 500 or 400

United States is holding the eyes Of
the whole world Just now for more
reasons than one. The warlike nations
of Europe are watching our warships,
and hungry Europe is watching with
greedy eyes for our merchantmen load
ed with grain. Europe is hungry, and
as a consequence wheat is advancing
with wonderful strides. Yesterday was
one of the most exciting days ever
known in the history of the wheat
market. May wheat closed in Chi.

in which wheat advanced all over the
world as it did yesterday. 1t was an

There was an advance of seven cents
in Liverpool and an advance in every
market in continental Europe. The ad.
vance is not due to the manipulations
of spectators. 1t started not in the
offices of the wheat kings, but with
the bread rioters, in many European
cities. France, Italy, Spain and Por.
tugal have taken the duty off wheat.
Germany will probably follow suit.
This means that the supply in these
countries has been exhausted, and
these countries are now bidding on
equal terms with England for Amer

Fired In Honor of Autonomy.

HAVANA, May with great cere-
mony the first congress of Cuba, elect
ed under the autonomist form of gov
eminent, was formally opened yester-
day by Capt. Gen. Blanco. Every
effort was made by the Spanish officials
to give brilliancy to the occasion.
There was procession, an imposing
military display, the streets were dec
Grated with flags and banners and the
captain general made what was in
tended to be an impressive speech, in
the course of which he said that if the
declarations of the United States had
been sincere its guns to-day ought to
be saluting the first Cuban parliament,
instead of threatening the lives of its
members
