EXPRESSIONS OF SORROW.
The Death Of Father Dolls Casts a Gloom
Over the Parish.

v ~.
Great Falls, June 1.-Expressions of
sorrow for the death of the Rev. Father
j. j. Dolls are heard on every hand to-
day, n many incidents of his kind
ness and charity and broadness of views
are related. One gentleman, in speak
ing of him. said that when the local
lodge Of the Sons of Herman was organ
lied in this city he had occasion TO meet
him as a member Of a special commit
tee. A number of German Catholics
wishing to Join the order a declined
to do so, fearing that it might not be
approved by Father, Dolls as being on
trary to the policy of the Catholic
church. A committee was appointed.
waited upon Father Dolls and laid the
matter before him.. He stated without
hesitation that he should be glad to
carrying some insurance upon his life,
and, more than that, felt that it was
q duty which every man owed to his
family. If any German had any hest
fancy in the matter arising through fear
OF his disapproval. he woul be glad to
have that man sent to him that he
might disabuse him of any such impress
sion.
His property in his city. which IL of
considerable value, and, Of course. pur-
chased with his own means, ne has
willed to this parish, another evidence
of the great affection existing between
himself and his people. 1t Is learned
his morning that he has no relatives
in America. but in Holland he leaves
two sisters and two brothers. One of
the first is a nun, and one of the latter
is a distinguished member of parlia-
ment. II is said that his family is of
high rank in the old country. and that
he abandoned a distinguished career in
order TO become an humble worker for
the church which ne loved.

LAMB|NG SEASON OVER
A Large Percentage of the Lambs
Have Been Saved.
SHEARlNG SHEDS BUILT
Many New Ones Erected and the Work
Of Shearing WIN Begin Right
Awsy-A Good Lift for the
Pondera District.

D Great Falls, June 1.-The lambing
season In Northern Montana is practi-
cally over. and II is nearly time for the
shearing to begin. The wool growers
have saved from 30 to 100 per cent of
the lambs cast, and IL the amount of
wool aheared and the price 1t brings
in the market Is as satisfactory, the
sheepmen will be the happiest class of
citizens In the whole state. Among
others. the shearing sheds which have
been building by H. w. Kraus at Pom
dera are now completed. and next Mon
day 1t is expected that the work of
shearing will m in them. The
buildings give to Pondera an appear
ance of business which that little town
has not enjoyed before. and they will
undoubtedly be the means of adding
considerable to the business of the place
before the summer is over. But, more
important that that. ven Is the bene-
ft that the sheepmen Of the communi-
ty are going to derive from their cree
ton. Sheep shearing sheds have been
something that has been badly need
ed in that locality for some time.
The main shed is quite a large struct-
ure. being 52x65 feet. In it there are
rs single pens. making room for 13
shearers on each side. who face each
other. Then there is a seven-foot wool
alley and two packers. The wool ware
house Is 26x12. n there is a covered
shed for the sheared sheep 55x150. From
the sheds to the railroad there is a
direct track, so that there is going to
be no difficulty In loading the wool onto
tn, cars. Mr.. Kraus has secured the
services Of a crew of shearers, and he
is making every effort to give the best
of satisfaction to those who take their
sheep there.
Among those who ave engaged 10
take their fiocks to hat point are
James Hughes, 5000 head: Pearson
Bros, 5000; Rose & Davis, 1900; A.
Kropp. 1900: T. w. Luce. 1900; l.. ID.

ham e. Co., $500. There are others who
have expressed the intention of awaiting
themselves of the facilities thus afford
ed at Pondera, ~aggregatihg about as
many more. The shearing will be done
by hand this year.
The wool warehouse in this city Is be-
ing pushed toward completion as rapid
ly as a large force of carpenters can
assist IL. The o growers this year
will have ne cause for complaint. as
the entire platform outside of the
warehouse has been hooded. N the
wool can be unloaded without fear.

Muniak.

In the island Of Barbados large
quantities Of q mineral have been
found which the natives call "manjak."
It is Of q bright black color and occurs
at very slight depth, sometimes on
the surface, in beds one to two feet
thick. It generally appears under an
angle Of about 40 degrees, and in the
immediate vicinity Of rock. 1t is pre-
sumed to be solidified petroleum, which
is often seen there eXuding from the
earth or floating on the water. In it's
composition this mineral is similar to
the pitch Of Trinidad, to the GilsOnite
of Utah and the Canadian Albertite,
but it is Of a much better quality. The
best varieties of "manjak" contained
2 per cent of water, 1855 per cent. Of
volatile organic substances, 26.97 per
cent. Of ditto solid ones and .1S per
cent. of mineral parts. Trinidad pitch
contains from p to 80 per cent. Of wa
ter, and about 3S per cent. Of ashes.
Hence the manjak mineral is rnucn
richer in natural bitumen. 1t is used,
among other purposes, for the insula-
ton of electrical conduits, for varnish,
bituminous concrete and for fuel, @1nix-
ed with peat, etc 1t may to some ex-
tent supplant sutta percha as an in

Every Reason to Be Proud.

The effect of the Dingley law upon
manufacturing may be inferred in part
from the great activity in most lines
which has been observed during the
last few months. A proof Of it's bear
ing upon industry is found in the fact
that importations of manufactured ar
ticles during the first half year of it's
existence fell off more than 20 per
cent. from the importations Of the cor
responding months under the Wilson
law. AS to the benefits of the protac-
tive character OF the act, however,
there never has been any question in
the minds of the mass of voters. Thus
far the; Republican party has every
reason to be proud of the legislation
which it enacted with such expedition

Meeting Every Requirement.

1t is demonstrated that the present
tariff is more than sufficient to meet
the ordinary expenditures Of the Gov
eminent, without taking the emergen-
cies of war into account. But peace
tariff is not intended to provide for the
special outlay made necessary by war.
The latter must be met by bond issues
or temporary taxes of such form and
amount as may be deemed suitable to
the occasion. The Dingley law is am
ply meeting every requirement for
which it was intended, and it's trainers
and friends have reason to be gratifled
with it's operations.-Roc Demo
