RAISING FUNDS.
BELT Is Planning for a Baseball Ground
aud n Race Track.

and n Race Track.
Belt, April $50 much interest has
been manifested by the citizens in the
efforts of the baseball club to raise
funds for the enclosure OF a field and
the building of a grand stand, etc, that
the enterprise has now grown until il
seems very probable the scheme will in
clude the building Of a half-mile ace
track. A meeting was held last night
In the office of J.. X. Cashier n a
committee appointed to ascertain what
financial support might reasonably be
depended upon. The ball club has
turned the matter over to the citizens
and the plan discussed was that OF is
suing about 300 shares of stock at IS
per share. 1t is believed this will cover
the cost of fencing. buildings. etc., and
will insure a first-class athletic field.
The waste cinders from the coke ovens
will be used on the race track. bicycle
track and sprinting way. These cinders
make a hard, Arm bed and would be
most excellent for this purpose. A meet
ing will be held on Sunday afternoon
for the purpose Of e~lecting officers.
Among the names of those suggested
for president of the association are j.

prominent citizens.

SHEARlNG MACHINES.
A Great Many VIII BE Placed In Use In

A Great Many Will Ii Placed In Use in
the State This Year.
Great Falls, April John d. Halli-
day, who is the general agent for the
sheep shearing machines, arrived in the
city this morning, accompanied by C.. Il.
Power of Helena. They have been at
Chinook placing some machines. and
Mr.. Halliday said that there would be a
great nan of them used in ne state
during the coming season. AS the
question whether hand or machine
shearing is preferable has received so
much attention from sheepmen during
the past season. Mr.. Halliday was asked
about the matter. He said that the
question was still open in many minds.
although the machines had become the
accepted method in Australia and the
Argentine Republic and many other
sheep countries. There was a natural
prejudice against Innovations of all
kinds in every mind n this prejudice
operated against the use of the ma
chine. So far he had been unable TO
find any proof that the machines were
Injurious to sheep. As a matter Of fact.
while the machine saves on the average
about three-quarters of a pound to
every fleece the part of the sheep from
which 1t Ii taken Is not the part that
most needs protection. Several times
the experiment had been tried Of shear
ing by machine an animal which had
already beer sheared by hand The re-
suit was that along the back and loins
not more than an ounce was taken on,
but down the legs n particularly
under the chin and neck there would be
a roll half an inch thick taken of by
the machine.
His attention was called to a list OF
sheepmen ~canvassed by II. w. Kraus
who y about to put in sheds for shear
ing at Collins and to the fact that while
in number of owners sheepmen were
three to two against the machines. In
the number of sheep owned the vote
was the reverse. He said that Ii was
natural for the smaller sheepmen &c

had more at stake TO make the expert

insurgent junta of Hong Kong in an open
letter to President Mckinney and the peo-
pie of the United States through the As
ISOLATED Press. The general situation also
displeased Agencillo and. after recalling.
to an interviewer, ''how the Filipinos have
loyalty and effectively aided the Amerl-

General Merritt's reference to the FIN
pinos as Children is simply an echo of a
Spanish saying and he may, like the Span
iards, find his enron when it is too late.

they will fight 10 the bitter end in de-
Tense of their rights and freedom. Ny in

What do the Filipinos think of the
American proposal TO purchase the
islandss?" Agencillo was asked.
''The opinion of the Filipino government
cannot be favorable to it." he answered.
"as they cannot allow themselves to be
bought and sold like merchandise. But IL
the object Of the moderate indemnity Is
that their recognition and peace be estab-
lished, 1 do not see why. perhaps. the

ground that 1t would be premature Ia do
