About Wool.

Hon. Paris Gibson of Great Falls,
who is a pretty good authority on
wool and sheep, gives his views on the
clip and the probable prices, in the
Tribune of the 18th inst. 1t will be
found of interest to many of our
readers. He says:
Owing to large sales of mutton
sheep the past year, it is not likely
the Montana clip of wool, about to
be marketed, will exceed that of 1897.
The important question of the price
of our wool, the present year, is now
being discussed by the growers, the
views of buyers and sellers being, as
usual, widely apart. Some light
may be thrown upon the situation,
by the latest reports received
through the Commercial Bulletin of
Boston just at hand. Reports sent
to this paper show fine unwashed
wool as selling in Michigan, from IA
to 10 cents and unwashed medium
from Is to 20 cents. In Ohio, un-
washed fine is selling at II cents to
Is cents and medium at 20 cents to %
cents. The question to be determin-
ed is the value of the unwashed
woods of these states as compared
with those of northern Montana in
Guiding the Judith basin. Unless our
woods are tender this year, they are,
when reduced to secured basis, equal
in every respect to those OF Michigan
or Ohio. While many of our clips
are heavy, yet large portion of the
fine and medium marketed at Great
Falls, will not shrink in securing,
more than the same grades in Michi-
gan and Ohio. The ranges of
clean and free from burs, our sheep
do not carry the heavy skirtings and
chaffy necks of eastern sheep winter
ed i'm barns and fed from racks. /
undertake to say that in no part OF
the United States is grade merino
wool produced of a higher character
than that of northern Montana. 1t
seems to me, considering the fact
that wool is relatively lower in the
United States than in London, the
woods of Montana should range
from Is to 20 cents, the latter price
being for choice, light shrinking
medium. 1 have given a wide range
of prices, but considering the various
methods of handling sheep and the
many types and grades of wool
found here, l believe this scale OF

To Organize a New PopuIist Party.

Omaha, June 1.-THE so-called
national organization committee OF
the peoples party, of which Milton
Park of Dallas, Texas is chairman,
and which was chosen at the
Nashville conference of the mid
die OF the readers, July, 4, last,
about all it's members being editors
of the so-called National Reform
Press Association, has decided to
bolt outright and call for an inde-
pendent convention on Sept 4, at
Cincinnati, for the purpose of organ
izing a new populist party. The call
was issued this evening as the results
OF the two meetings today, one i'm
mediately following the adjourn
ment of the populist committee, and
the other held during the afternoon.
1t was drafted Jointly by Milton
Park, Wharton Barker. of Philadel-
phia, who is a middle of the road
candidate for president in 1900, and
J. A. Parker OF Louisville, secretary
OF the Reform Press Association.

The Cattle Outlook.

Chicago, j une 16.-Reports received
from William Penn Anderson of the
Union Stock Yards and Transit Co.,
as to the condition of the cattle and
the sheep ranges of the west and
northwest indicate a most prOmis-
ing season for grazers. The ranges
of Montana, the Dakotas, Colorado,
Utah, Idaho, Nevada, eastern
Oregon, eastern Washington and
north western California, are said to
be exceptionally good. The effects
of the draugth are felt especially in
western Oregon southwestern Ari-
zona, and along the upper Rio
Grande in Texas, and southwestern
New Mexico and i'm parts of the Pan
Handle in Texas. Owing to the
favorable weather in the early spring
the percentage of the calf crop has
perceptibly increased especially in
the Montana district where it is
estimated from 60 to 30 as against
30 to 60 per cent. in former years.
The increase is attributed to the
greater number of bulls imported
from the older states during the past
two years and the better provision
for the feeding of hay on the ranges.

Death of nrs. J. s. Huntoon.

Two weeks ago j. 5. Huntoon, of

sudden illness of Mrs. Huntoon. He
reached home just too late to bid the
long farewell to the loving wife and
companion of his life. The sympa-

appear on the surface at the end of
five minutes he became nervous. Sew
eral shrill blasts were given from the

Bad management keeps more
people in poor circumstances than
any other one cause. To be success
full one must look ahead and plan
ahead so that when a favorable OPP
portunity presents itself he is ready
to take advantage of it. A little
forethought will also save much
expense and valuable time. A pru-
dent and careful man will keep a
battle of Chamberlain's Colic Cholera
and Diarrh9a Remedy in the house,
the shiftless fellow will wait until
necessity compels it and then ruin
his best horse going for a doctor and
have a big doctor bill to pay, besides
one pays out % cents and the other
a hundred dollars and then wonders
why his neighbor is getting richer
while he is getting poorer. For sale

which gives the details of the sad

which gives the details of the sad
event:
Mrs. Huntoon, wife OF Mr.. j. s.
Huntoon, No. 6S1 Main street east,
died on Saturday evening after brief
illness. She was a most estimable
woman and most lovable wife and
mother. A particularly sad feature
in connection with her death was
that her husband, whom she desired
to see SO much before dying, and who
was in the western states, at the
ranch of her son, when she took ill,
arrived at the gate of their beautiful
home just as she passed away. He
was at her bedside three minutes after
she died. Had the train which he
came on been on time he would have
seen her alive; the train was just nine
minutes late. Mr.. Huntoon Travelled
over 1000 miles as fast as the train
could carry him to see his wife, and
he was very much affected when he
saw her face cold in death. The body
of Mrs. Huntoon will be taken to Col
lingwoOd on the O'Clock train to-
morrow morning for interment. The
funeral services will be conducted at
the family residence this evening.

Different With q Woman.

Butte Inter Mountains: The worst
feature about the case of Superintend-
ent of Public Instruction Carleton,
who is accused Of hiring a typewriter
S125 and devoting the difference to
other uses, is that it shows him to be
no further advanced than other men
in his conception of the value of
a woman's services when she does the
same work as a man. The Inter
Mountain has no doubt that had Mr..
Carleton engaged a male typewriter
he would have paid the latter the
S125 per month allowed by law with
out q murmur. Such a typewriter
would very likely require cocktail
before each meal and cigars between
meals. He would probably go against
the pool rooms whenever he got a
sure tip from some professional tout.
He might occasionally go out with the
"boys" and spend $50 for political
or other purposes in the interests OF
his employer. To expect such a man
to live on less than S125 a month
would be outrageous and might in
duce him to borrow money and play
poker in order to pay his board bill.
1t is different with a girl. She does
not need so much money as a man
She neither drinks. smokes nor
CANDLES. She can make a dress last
six months by having it dyed and
mended often enough. She never
takes a flyer in a pool room and
therefore seldom needs pocket money.
Besides no woman can ever find her
own pocket, so what is the use of her
having money in it all the time? She
pays her board regularly, and as she
lives at cheap boarding house her
expense is less than that of male
typewriter who boards at restau-
rants and swaggers around hotels.
1t is probably these differences be-
tween the expenses of a male and
female typewriter that induced the
superintendent of public instruction
to engage Miss Harris for $50 a
month and apply the rest OF her
salary to the liquidation OF the other
expenses of his Office, such as postage
stamps, travelling to county insti-
tutes, etc., as he explains in his letter
in the Helena Independent. Mr..
Carleton has fully vindicated himself
as to the charge of improper use of
public funds, but he stands convicted
of peculiar notions as to the rights of
woman to collect what they earn.
What makes this the more noticeable
is the fact that the populist party, of
which the state superintendent is q
shining light, is the only political
party in the United States that has
taken an advanced position in favor
OF woman suffrage and the equal
political rights OF the sexes.

prices is not to broad. In fact, some
woods marketed here are better
worth 20 cents than others 10 cents.
The trouble is, buyers here do not
discriminate sufficiently between our
clips of wool. Ii they would make
the difference wider it would stimu-
late the production of choice, light
shrinking wool. AS it now is, q
premium is paid for dirt and worth
less stuff that goes into the river,
when the wool is secured. On the
basis OF As cents a pound for secured
wool, the man whose wool shrinks-
40 per cent would get IA % cents a
pound, while on the same basis the
man whose wool shrinks 60 per cent
should reveive 10 I-5 cents. But the
man whose wool shrinks but 60 per
cent, having no means of knowing
what the shrinkage is, thinks he has
made big sale if he gets a cent and
a half or two cents more than his
neighbor who sells for ii % cents.
Until the sheep owners of this
great wool producing state find
some method OF knowing what their
woods shrink, how can they intel
ligently meet the able buyers who
come here annually? When the wool
grower and the wool buyer have
some means of determining together
the shrinkage of wool, then the
business will be greatly simplified,
and the man who grows light wool
will receive the reward to which he
is entitled. More wool and less dirt
will then he hauled to market and
the woolgrowing industry of Mon
tana will be very greatly advanced,
in my opinion, not pound OF wool
should be consigned to eastern wool
houses. Nothing but an accident
ever brings out the wool shipper
even. If from any cause there are
not sufficient buyers to take our
woods, let our bankers assist the
growers in carrying their clips here
in Montana warehouses. There need
be no fear that dealers and manu-
facturers will not come here for them
as soon as needed. When the grower
consigns his wool he might as well
make up his mind that he will get no
more than is advanced on it. and he
may be fortunate if he is not Obliged
to remit something before his ac-
count is closed.
