counts for the small sales and contin-

This prevailing depression in the
wool market is not any more surpris-
ing than in the cotton market-now
at the lowest point in many years, and
to all appearances less affected by for
eign competition.
There is, of course, a great opportu-
nifty and inducement to use more cot
ton to mix with wool, and there is al
ways an uncertain and unknown
amount of shoddy adulteration. Con-
trary to the general estimate it is a
demonstrated fact that more shoddy
is used when the prevailing prices Of
wooden goods are low than when they
are high. We only know of the shoddy
imported, but the home supply must
be great and is capable of great in

NEW YORK As IT WAS
AND AS II Is To Be

within the greater city had issued
bonds beyond the constitutional limit.
Under the new charter the city as a
whole assumes all liabilities.
In 1895, when Tammany went out Of
power for a brief respite and the well
fare of the city was entrusted to the re-
formers, there was margin of $751;
100000 for the issuance of bonds. The
city was within the constitutional linn
it to that extent. During the reform
administration the margin was reduc-
ed nearly 100000 Then came con-
solidation with the overleaped bond
limit of Brooklyn, Long Island City,
Richmond county and other localities
It took several months of careful con-
sideration to ascertain the true condi-
ton, and even now the question of
New York's power to issue bonds of
any description is not definitely set
tied. AS a result, all public improve
ments which could be accomplished
only by the issuance of assessment
bonds have not been made. The cost
of all these improvements is met with
money from the general Improvement
fund That fund is made up from the
proceeds of assessment bonds and the
collection of arrearages of assessments
The city officials. realizing that some
improvements were absolutely necessa-
ry, such, for instance, as the extern
ton of the sewerage system, have
adopted the plan of urging the pay
ment of unpaid assessments. Under
the law the payment could be enforced
by the sale of the property in arrears,
but the administration, realizing that
the people are just recovering from
the panic, have refrained from such a
STEP However, those in arrears have
been urged to do their best and as a
result the available funds are beng
increased The street improvement
fund is now increasing at the rate of
about 100000 per week.
The prospect for next year is bright
as it is reported that the valuation Of
real and personal property will be in
creased by from 100000, 900 to $500 00O,-
600. If that be true, the city will be
enabled to issue additional bonds to
the extent of the increase. This will
/ insure the construction of the two al
| ditional bridges over the East river,
| the extension of the sewerage system
and the grading and paving of the
streets throughout the entire territory
within the limits. Additional school
buildings will be constructed, new
streets will be opened up, new breath
| ing places, in the form of additional
parks, will be established, and the wa
| ter system extended.
| But it would be folly to go into the
details of the far-reaching subject in
a brief New Year article. The main
fact is that the giant city. like the ma

vorable for healthy sheep and an ex-
cellent quality of both wool and NUT
ton.
To offset these prime advantages our
sheep growers have to contend with
higher wages prevailing in a mining
state, increased cost of supplies, and
higher rates of freight to markets. Our
springs, too, are often late and the
landing season is put off till too near
shearing time.
Then there are wolves, bears and
other wild beasts that collect heavy
penalties for the invasion of their an
cient domain. Against severe winters
we have been taught the need of win
ter shelter and feed. Against droughts
there is not the same facility for pro-
lection but fortunately the occasions
requiring this protection are not so
frequent.
In order to protect themselves
against crowding and trespa ssing on
their ranges our sheep owners have
found it advantageous, if not neces-
sary, to acquire title to large areas
of land, involving the further expense
of fencing and exposing themselves to
the rapacity of the taxgatherers. To
offset these latter expenses there will
be greater security of ranges, some
less expense for herding and more en-
enlargement to increase the growth of
grass by fertilizing and irrigating.
With anything like a fair degree of
protection, the present being more APP
parent than real, it is reasonably Ger
tain that sheep raising is destined to
be q permanent and fairly prosperous
industry for our state, deserving Of
the fostering care of our lawInaks RS
converting into appreciate wealth the
annual heritage that otherwise would
feed prairie fires, which often extend
to adjoining timber
Until irrigation has been largely ex-
tended and our vast water power util-
lied for manufacturers, Montana has
comparatively few available industries
to cultivate, and it is only an enlarged
self-interest that should prompt every
citizen of the state to protect and cul-
tivate those best suited to our unde-
Veloped conditions.
The bounty laws that protect stock
from ravaging wild beasts yield re-
turn indirectly to all otherwise EN-
plOyed. The costly experience of the
past year also shows the necessity for
greater care and strcter laws against
the Importation of diseased stock. On
the whole, the prospects for the flu
ture of sheep in Montana, both near
and remote, are encoura ging.

LONG LOST DAUGHTER.
An Illinois Man Finds Child Taken
From Him go Years Ago.


From Him 90 Years Ago.
Peoria. ILL.,, Dec. 31.-There is joy in the
home of William c. Hall, a well-known
railway conductor, for his daughter, who
was lost 20 years ago, has been restored
to her family Mrs. GeDpard, who was
adopted by State Senator Bulla of Los
Angeles, is now in the city and COM
pletes the circle of the Hall family. Mr..
Hall and his daughter returned home
from California on Sunday
Several weeks ago he received informa-
tion that she was not dead, but resided
in Los Angeles with her husband, and
Mr.. Hall, accompanied by his wife, made
fast trip out West. He found that she
was now the wife of Mr.. Geppard, BUSH
ness man of that city, and it was quick
~ planned that she should visit Peoria.
More than 20 years ago, when Mrs
Geppard was quite young, she became
separated from her parents and was ia
ken West by relatives. Mr.. Hall was in
communication with his daughter for a
year or so and then he lost trace of her
and word reached him that she was dead.
He believed the report correct and was
astounded recently when word came that
she was still alive and well. She lived
with State Senator Bulla and family for
Is years, or until she married Mr.. Gep-
pard.

LOOSE DIVORCE LAWS.
North Dakota L ses Not Want Matri-
monial Misfits,

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. S1.-Among the
measures which will come before the
North Dakota legislature during its ses-
sion will be one providing for a more
stringent divorce law
A large element of the people are
ashamed of the record gained by the state
on account of the laXty of the present
law on this subject, and are anxious to
shut off the excursions here of matrimo-
NAL mistits.
AS heretofore. however, there will be
strenuous opposition to any modification
of the law on the part of the thrifty peo-
pie of the cities of the state who derive
a considerable revenue annually from this
source.
Another measure which will be strenu-
ously opposed will provide for commits
sion to secure the enforcement of the
prohibition law now on the statute books
1t is likely that, as two years ago, bill
will be passed by the polite members
providing for such commission, and
that, as on the previous occasion, it will
be vetoed by the governor on some plaus-
ible preteXt.

London, Dec. 31.--There is considerable
bitterness in French royalist circles be-
cause the queen has not entertained the
Duke and Duchess of Orleans. who are
now in England, although her majesty
has received IA broad hint from the court
at Vienna that such an invitation would
be particularly acceptable at the present

Queen Victoria, however, while she had
a great regard for the late Count OF Par
IS, does not like his son. Moreover, in
view of the present royalist intrigues in
France, her majesty has avoided special
attention to French royalists from politi-
cal motives.
