Hon. Joseph Scott, ex-president of the
Montana Stock Growers association, is cred
tied in the Journal Stockman with the fol-
lowing interview: THE rise in the price
of beef is not due to any particular shortage
in the available supply, but because more
beef is being eaten. Consumption of beef
has increased and that has raised the price.
The smoke coming out of all the factories
in the land simply shows that the laboring
classes are employed and that they are able
to buy beef. There are just as many cat
tie in the country as there ever were, but
the demand is much greater. Montana will
not ship half as many cattle east this winter
as in previous years simply because there
have not been so many range yearlings
bought from the southern ranges. The
price has been too high"

smith left light overcoat to be repaired an /
while in the store looked around as IL to
get his bearings. Williams came later with
coat and vest, which, it was later found,
had been stolen from John Hanngan at
twenty sixth and Q streets.
Inc prisoners were without coun-
sel but conducted the cross examination of
witnesses themselves. Some of the qucs-
tions asked were ludicrous and amusing in
the extreme. The testimony went to show
that the trio had committed the crime and
Judge Babcock held all to the district
court Tor further examination. Bonds were
hXed at $1,000 each. 1t appeared that at the
rantorium Williams and Smith gave fc-
titious names when they left their clothing
TO bo repaired. The police are inclined to
think they compose part OF a gang which
mas been committing petty robberies in the
business portion OF the city for some time.

LONDON, Oct. 1S.-The London afternoon
papers illustrate the sportsmanlike view
taken by all sections of the English press
OF the Columbia's victory yesterday. The
ST. James Gazette says:
"our regret for Shamrock's defeat must be
outweighed by our satisfaction at the fact
that the accident was provided against be-
forehand and that therefore. no opportunity
for misunderstanding could exist on this
occasion.
''Shamrock's gear reached the cracking
point first, and the fact that Columbia out
sailed it with the same breeze shows that
the American boat is the better which It Is
just the object of these matches to settle
one way or the other
The Pail Mall Gazette says: "Thls is a
competition between constructors, as well as
sailors, and the American victory was per-

that had been sent UP at noon to replace the
one carried away Tuesday.
On board Columbia there was no activity.
All were at ease. Tho crew sat on deck,
where everything was ready for tomorrow s
event. Captain Barr leaned against the side
OF the companonway and smoked. Mean
while he gazed across the water. watching
the progress Of preparation on his disabled
opponent Conditions aboard the American

confidence
Tho stress OF preparation aboard the British
yacht marked the natural anxiety there Is to
a performance of the untried spar and the

in the day it had been the purpose of the
visitors to go outside with Shamrock and
test its new equipment, but though 1t came
down the harbor from its Temoasurement
early this afternoon the shortening daylight
afforded too little time after all had been
snugged.

measurement of Shamrock made by him this
morning shows that yachts present water
line TO be $3.50 feet, and its raciug length
by club rule 1O2.565 feet. He states that
