REVIEW OF THE MARKET
Standards Predictions Correct in
Every Particular.
AVERAGE PRICE II CENTS
The Best Returns Were Received in the
First Fourteen Days of ths Wool
Market - Fourteen Cents
Was the Lowest Price.

Great Falls, Aug. 2.-Early in June
a forecast of the wool market of North
ern Montana was made in this column,
and now that the market is closed a
Eostmortem may be of interest 1t was
predicted that prices would range from
IA cents upward; several clips would
be sold at 10 and 20 cents, while few
We're likely to go at a fraction above
20 cents; and the average of the market
would be in the vicinity of II cents.
These predictions We're based on the
market throughout the entire northern
portion of the state, and with the tense
of the verbs changed they would now
be as accurate review of the market
as could be made. Fourteen cents was
the lowest price reported from any
section and 205s cents was the highest
paid here or in fact anywhere in the
entire state. Quite number of clips
brought IS and 20 cents, while a few,
two or three, brought a fraction over
20 cents. A careful study of the reports
of sales shows that the bulk of the
wool brought prices ranging between
16 and IS cents, which would indicate
that II cents was as near the average
price as one may get
III IeSdIu 10 the local market the
statement was made that the best
prices would be reached before the
close of the first half of the season,
and on July the prediction was made
that the top of the market would ar
rive in weeks time. AS it appeared
later the market opened on July with
prices at 161a and II cents, and closed
on July 81 with prices at II and Is
cents. The best prices were paid on
the 14th to 18th of the month and there
after there was a marked decline in
the market. Twenty cent wool was
reached on July IA, curiously fulfilling
to a day the prediction made on the
It'll. 1t may also be noted that with
2S days of sales the best prices were
paid in the first IA. Every effort was
made to obtain an exact and accurate
knowledge of the conditions prevail
ing, the weather through the spring,
the condition of the sheep before and
up to the time of the shearing, the
state of the ranges during the winter
and spring, the amount of rain that fell.
and these local conditions coupled with
careful study of reports on wool from
other parts of the world determined
the predictions made here. 1t is graft
flying to note after the close of the
season that they We're so wonderfully
true to the facts.

ARE MUCH ENCOURAGED
Meeting of the Trustees of the st.
Paul Hospital.
WILL Be SELF-SUSTAINING
Report OF the Work of the Last Month.
Many Patients Have Been Treat
ed The First Elmer
gency Case.

The board of trustees of the st. Paul
simultaneously hospital held it's first
regular monthly meeting yesterday. In
order to form a correct estimate of the
financial standing of the institution it
will be necessary to wait until all the
current bills of expense are submitted
to the board, which will be some time
this week. The trustees are much en-
couraged over the results of the first
month of the institution and say that
they believe, even considering the extra
expense of $500 in equipment, the hos
pital will be self-sustaining. There are
% patients now being treated. During
the month of July there were 319 dress
ings. The income for last month was
between $1,000 and $1,100. Patients have
been brought from Dillon, Whitehall
and other distant points. Four doctors
have been pretty busily engaged during
the month. Drs. Wells and Lobb are in
charge. The board will meet every
month. None but local members of the
board were present at yesterdays meet
ing.
The first serious emergency case
treated at the new hospital was that of
Mrs. Reith, German widow, who has
been living in Butte for about two
years. OF late she has been cooking at
the Chapin house. Her 13-year-old boy
was her only comfort and companion.
Three married children live in distant
lands. She has struggled hard to sup
port her boy. For several months she
has gradually grown feebler. At last
she had to give up and go to bed Her
a1lment was the seVerest form of WO-
mans trouble. She was bleeding to
death. A friend called at the hospital
and told of the serious condition of the
woman and her inability to procure the
money necessary for an operation. DR..
Wells ordered the ambulance sent to
the house at once and Mrs. Reith taken
to the hospital. She was a skeleton
and unable to support herself The doe
tor saw after hasty investigation that
the woman could not live another day
in her present condition. She was
placed on the operating table and a tu-
NOR three inches in diameter was taken
from the womb. The patient is rapidly
recovering and regaining strength, be-
ing nursed by the hospital nurses. She
expresses her gratitude for the very eX-
cellent care she has received at the hos
pital.
How can l ever repay these good,
Christian people?" she said yesterday
to a Standard reporter who called at
the hospital. She said: Il knew that
l was dying and could not live but a
few hours longer My thoughts were of
my own little boy. / had no money
with which to pay for an operation.
My boy and | are alone in the world,
and l have tried to make him a good
living. If l had some money ] would
advertise in the papers and tell the
world all about these Christian peo-
pie"
She says that she will work in the
hospital kitchen as long as they want
her to. She is grateful and takes OPP
portunity of every occasion to express
her heartiest thanks for the kind treat
ment she received at the hands of her
considerate benefactors.

While Trying to Calm Passengers the
Man Chung to the Life Preservers.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer
Some funny situations occasionally
arise from sudden cases of real or ap-
parent danger" remarked a much
travelled Philadelphia recently, AN
illustration of which fact came under
my observation on the trip from which
| have just returned. 1t was on a
crowded steamboat. The time was
night, and some big excursion party
was on board. All at once the boat
began to careen from side to side in a
way that alarmed me accustomed as
| was to queer antics of water craft,
but because of the many women and
children on board / kept my alarm to
myself
1T wasn't so with others who noticed
the boats rocking, however, and pretty
soon everybody was frantically fasten-
ing on life preservers. l mean every
body who could get them, for the boat
was equipped with only about half
enough to go around. Then there fol-
lowed a scene of the widest confu-
sion. Women were crying and Shrek
ing. Some of them were on their
knees praying. Men who should have
had better sense ran wildly TO and fro
picking out the best places from which
to jump if the steamer did tip over.
In the midst of it all the captain APP
peared. Coming up to a little group
of which were outwardly calm, he as
sured us that there was really no
danger, and asked us if we would
quietly mingle with The pejple and en-
deavor to restore quiet. Of course We
consented. But that wasn't the fun
ny part. Standing near enough to
oyerhear our conversation was an eX
cited individual of middle age. When
we started on our missionary work he
thought it his duty to help, and, half
a minute later he was hard at work
in the cabin telling the women to stop
their crying, for the boat was all right.
He didn't seem to have much success,
however. and / wondered at it until l
saw him stop in front of a grim-vis
aged middle-aged woman, who had
been unable to get hold of life pre-
server.
/" BE calm, mada ne, be calm he ex-
claimed, there is no danger whatever
and the boat will get to shore all
right
THE woman looked the fellow over
sCOrnfully.
If you are so sure of that she re-
torted, then give me one of those two
life preservers you are hanging on to
so tight
Sure enough. although I hadn't
noticed it before, the man had been
carrying a life preserver in each hand.
in addition to the one he wore around
his waist all the time he was so ener-
getically assuring the weeping women
that there was no danger. The thing
was so absurd that l and two or three
others who took 1t all in burst out
laughing. which had as much to DO
with restoring quiet as anything else
Half an hour later the boat landed
right side up with care, and we saw no
more of the man with the three life
preservers."

found impracticable, and at last a plan
of Mr.. Saccardo, chief inspector of
the northern railroads of Italy, was
adopted. This system, which is used
in the tunnels of the Apennines, con-
sists in forcing a volume of air at high
speed into an annular chamber, which
encircles the whole circumference of
the tunnel at one end. From this
chamber the air escapes on the inside
face of the tunnel and is either drawn
out or forced in so as to produce an
artificial current that shall assist or
supplant the natural current. The
plant is installed at Goeschenen at the
north end of the tunnel, and will act,
for the most part, to push the air out,
as from north to south is the ordinary
direction of the natural draft. The
ventilating machinery, which was set
in operation last March, consists of two
blowers revolving at a rate of seventy
revolutions per minute, and they have
succeeded in transforming a moderate
south to north current into one in the
opposite direction at a velocity of two
and eight-tenths meters per second.
The work of the machinery is said to
be quite satisfactory and repairs to
track and rtunel can be carried on with
facility. From the travellers stand
point the chief advantage is the quick
disappearance of the smoke, the damp
ness and the nauseous Cdors.

HOW TUNNELS ARE VENTILATED
Machinery Is Employed in Most of the
Long Holes Through the Earth.

The oppressive odors that almost
stifie those compelled to pass through
the tunnels under the Chicago river are
the cause of much complaint. In Eu-
rope, where tunnels are longer and
more numerous than they are in this
country, engineers have paid consider
able attention to their proper ventil-
alton and have met with a good meas
ure of success. Various devices have
been employed to lessen the dscom
forts to passengers while passing
through them. on some railways
remedy has been found in substituting
oil-burning or electric locomotives for
the trip through the tunnel and on 9TH
ers recourse is had to artificial Ventil-
alton. The question of the air supply
at the St GOthard tunnel in SwitZer-
land has been discussed for several
years, as the Increasing number of
trains has materially altered condi-
tions. Formerly Workmen could be
employed in the tunnel without injury
particularly during the night, when
there were but few trains, and the
natural currents of air sufficed, but
with the adoption of train schedules
calling for a number of night trains in
addition to a large increase in the num-
Der passing through during the day,
conditions have changed increasing
the discomfort Of employees and passen-
gers, and finally it was necessary TO
diminish the number of trains.
Recently the question of adopting
some mechanical means of keeping the
air pure was brought forward and
number of plans discussed. Smoke
burning and OiI-burning engines were
tried but without success, it being
found that the injurious gases We're
given off from oil fuel as well as from
coal. The distribution of air from res
eryoirs or pipes was also proposed and
