The Banquet to Mr.. Hedges.

The testimonial extended to Repre-
sentative w. A. Hedges Thursday
evening in the form of a banquet was
a pronounced success from first to last,
despite the brief notice for preparation,
the Indictment weather and bad roads,
says the Fergus County Argus. Ever
since the memorable and disgraCeful
senatorial contest the republicans of
this county have been awaiting the OPP
portunity to fittingly show their appTe-
citation and pride for the Steadfast and
honorable course PURSUED by Mr..
Hedges all through those trying times.
1t came upon his first visit to Lewis
town since his labors at Helena closed.
The occasion will long be remembered
by all those who participated, and eSpe-
cially by the guest of the evening. 1t
was such demonstration of party APP
prevail and personal regard that any
man could have well been proud. Yet,
when Mr.. Hedges arose to respond to
the toast "Republicanism," there was
no trace of the vainglorious. no self
done more than his duty, though 9th
ers failed in the crucial test. The speech
was a model as to dictiOn and sub
stance. In a plain and straightforward
manner he related the history Of the
senatorial contest and the methods en-
ployed 10 secure the election Of w. a.
Clark Though constantly impOrtuned
and subjected to all the Vaccinations
OF shrewd political manipulations, Mr..
Hedges never for a moment WaVercd
IN his duty to his party and the people
of Fergus county. AS he well said,

Montana Bred Horses.

Horses bred and raised in Montana
possess muscular fiber, bone and wind
uneXcelled by the horse product of any
other state, says the StOckgrowers'
Journal, The common class of Mon
tana horses fails to bring good prices
chiefly for two reasons. they are brand
ed, and are often wild and vicious.
Though sold as ''broken.' they need
constant work to keep them down so
they will stay broke A horseraiser
was quoted in these columns last week
as to how to prepare range horses,
which bear a brand, for a good market.
Mr.. Farrrelrs successful experience is
surely worth something. and his ad-
vice boiled down is not to break
horses, but commencing in colthood to
handle them, teach them and halter
your colts early so the horses may be
gentled sufficiently to show a gait and
any other marketable characteristics.
Gentled horses of size and spirit. if
young and showing fair form and color.
with good movement, bring remuner-
alive prices in any discriminating mar
ket though branded. Much better
showing is guaranteed in a horse mar
ket where horses may be led than
where they are first roped. then choked
down and thus submitted to the crti-
cal inspection of buyers.

WHAT THE PRESS OF MONTANA
FINDS TO TALK ABOUT

when he received his certificate of cleo
ton from Clerk Kelly. it made no diff.
ference to him whether his majority
was Il or 1.T00 he had been elected TO
represent the republicans of Fergus
county and he intended TO faithfully
perform the trust imposed in him. Self
interest sank into insignitcance. 1t
was speech that would have pleased
every honest party man in Fer
gus county. be he republican or demo-
crat. The responses to the toasts We're
generally good, the views expressed
leaving no doubt as to the attitude of
all as regards those who have proven
false to the party and to themselves.

PRICE OF WOOL.
The Dingley Bill Isn't Doing the Work
This Year.

AhiH
The Billings Gazette grasps at straWs
in its efforts TO prove how the DnSi@N
tariff has helped the woolsrower says
the Big Timber Express. When wool
sold at cents Il pound in 1896 the Will
son tariff was to blame for it, When
the price was a little better in 1897 the
expectation of a republican tariff was
to be thanked for it. When the figure
reached 16 cents in 1898 the Dinghy Tar
if was entitled to no end Of praise. But
now, when the price for this year ~ Gnu
ises to be about 10 or II cents, The
woolgroWers of the United States are
still suffering from the disastrous ef-
feet of the free trade policy of the
Cleveland administration" according
to the Gazette. The contention is Just
a little absurd. and when the Gazette
goes on to say that wool in the United
States is 10 cents a pound above it's
value to-day in the free woool markets
of the world, it makes a statement di-
rectly contrary to the market reports.
for, as we pointed out last week. Amer
lean wool is being bought in the Bos-
ton market for export. How can this
be if wool is 10 cents pound higher in
the United States than it is in the free
wool markets of the world? Perhaps
some wicked free traders are buying
and exporting American wool at a
heavy loss III order to further their hell
ish designs against the blessed Ding
ley tariff Unless WoolgrOwers are to-
tally blind to the facts they must see
by the condition of the wool market
to-day that the protection afforded
their product by the Dingley tariff is
powerless to maintain the price in the
face of reduced demand as the result
of a contracted money market. The
free coinage of silver would be a far
more effective protection against low
prices than the present Dingley tariff of
II cents a pound.

Wolf Culture.

Slas Franklin recently caught Is pup
wolves. which We're driven out of their
den by high water, and now has them
at his ranch says the Miles CITY News
These youngsters would ordinarily have
been killed at once, but Mr.. Franklin,
having an eye to business and nothing
else to do, is now feeding them on the
very best unskimmed milk, fattening
them. like other stockraisers, for the
fall market. Not only is there a good
profit in SO doing, but it affords him
much pleasure and amusement to
watch the little rascals eat and see
them fight each other over their meals.
Mr. Franklin has somewhat of an eye
to business. for if he should kill them
now, he could obtain but 50 per head
bounty. hence he will keep them until
after November /, at which time he can
get S. per head. Now, what better in
vestment does a party want? There is
also another considera ton that greatly
concerns him. He thinks it would be
wrong to kill them now and thus in

ant smell emanatins from the upper

ther is so warm and believes as a hui
manitarian that it is for the best in

compelled to do business in the court
house that he should keep them till cold

MAYORS AND CITY COUNCILS.
A Suggestion That the Law BE Changed
in an ImnOrtant REGARD.

The embarrasSments and annoyance
that have resulted from a conflict of
opinion between mayors and aldermen
in municipalities of this state suggests
the necessity of a change in the man.
ner of selecting appointiVe officers,
says the Livingston Enterprise. Not
only in this city and this year have
these conflicts of authority occurred,
but they have been noticeable for sew
eral years throughout the state and in
several instances have resulted in ma
terially Hetracting from the efficiency
of city government. 1t would seem to
be in the interest of good government
TO accord to the mayor-Whose election
is presumed to result from desire that
he administer the affairs of the city
the right to select untrammeled his
subordinate officials. He Is primarily
responsible for the acts of his ap-
pOintees and while he should be so held
responsible he is entitled to the fullest
latitude in the matter Of his selections.
Not that the power of restraint should
be entirely removed from the council.
but to the end that it be confined to
removal solely for incompetence or ne
gIect of duty. Where the matter of
confirma ton is left with the council
and political debts are incurred by al
dermen-elect or prejudice for any rea-
son arises against appointees, they
are subject to rejection and a mayor is
often compelled to accept those who
may ignore his authority or resort TO
the more undesirable alternative of
permitting vacancies to exist. And a
conflict between mayor and aldermen
at the outset of an administration too
often creates a feeling of antagonism
that makes itself felt throughout the
life of the council which noticeaby
cripples its usefulness to the city.

when the superintendent asked affably
from the platform. What holy season

ArbOr Day,

Boston. says the Rocky Mountain
Husbandman, boasts of it's elms, the
Wabash of its sycamores Maine of its
pines, California its red wood. Missouri
its oak and walnut. Some sections have
much larger variety than others, but
any tree, even the Montana willow. is
better than not TO have any trees at all.
When the senior editor of this paper
prepared the Arbor day bill and placed
it before the legislative assembly of
Montana, it was with a hope of en-
couraging the planting of groves of
hedge row around our homes. so naked
and barren-like. and the marking III
our roadWays with stretches of trees to
relieve the monotony Of the miles of
prairie that prevails so universally in
our state. To make cur state heauti
full our sons and daughters must be
educated in the art of tree culture and
taught the Importance of Toe work of
decorating with trees. shrubbery and
plants. The matter we must admit,
has heretofore made slow progress.
This year, thanks to the interest taken
in it by State Superintendent of Schools
e. A, Carleton. and his excellency Gov
ernor Smith. the day is to be made
quite an event.
