Experts state that at the presentrate of cutting, the available timber lands of the United States will have been substantially exhausted within the next 30 years. According to the North. western Lumberman, the annual cut. tipg of pine alone in this country is estimated to be 7,500, ,0oo, ,000 feet. De. mutation of forests results in tremen- dous floods and prolonged drouths. Centuries ago the Spanish forests were destroyed and the country has never recovered from their loss.

her to come to the door as he wanted to
leave message. When she opened the
door he entered the house and his men fol-
lowed him. In order to get in the room
where the piano was, he said, ii was neces-
sary to force open a door. Then when the

REPORTED CHANGE.
The Northern Pacific and Great Northern

The Northern Pacific and Great Northern
Will Discontinue Two Trains Each.
According to eastern advices, negotia-
tions between the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific railroad companies
are pending looking to a reduction of
the train service between St. Paul and
Portland. At the local Office Of the
latter road nothing is known concern
ing the matter. but it is said to be quite
likely that some arrangement has been
reached, or will he in the near future.
BY this it is meant that when the
change does take place two of the four
passenger trains will be discontinued,
and the service be as heretofore. It is
said that the change will be made be-
cause the business does not justify the
present service. Nhe report is current
that the change will take place Sunday,
June Is, when trains Nos and 4 will
be discontinued. & as
A conductor who assisted In making
out the time table for the eastern divis-
ion is authority for the statement that
there will be change in the arrival Of
trains Nos. and 2. The former,
which now reaches Billings at II :53

change, arrive at 1 40 a. M, while the

TO ORGANIZE A UNION.

Representatives of Building Trades Meet
and Talk for Mutual Benefit.
A meeting having for it's purpose the
organization Of trades union or
council, was held last night with about
thirty persons present representing the
building trades of the city. The mat
ter was discussed at some length, and
it was the general opinion that such
an organization would be of great bene.
fit to the workingmen Of Billings. The
object Of the union will not tend to an
advancement of wages, as the working
men Of this city are satisfied and doing
we'll, but will have for it's object the
shutting out and discouragement of
unskilled labor in the building trades.
The following committee was ap-
pointed, as representatives Of trades,
to make arrangements for perfecting
permanent organization and will en-
gage representative Of the Butte
union to come to Billings and assist in
the matter: @. DesOrmeux, plumber:
Frank Rose. painter; 'Ohas. B. Nun
son, stone mason; John P. Maher. car
penter; Pat LOTUS, brick layer; D. R.

MORE ACTIVE AND STRONGER.
Large Mills Are Picking Up Consid derable
Wool at Advanced Quotations,

Large Mills Are Picking Up Considerable
Wool at Advanced Quotations.
The American Wool and Cot
ton Reporter Of Boston. under date of
June 8. says Of the wool trade: Several
of the large mills have been represented
in the market and they have taken all
told considerable amount of wool,
for which they paid advanced quota
tions. Certain of these mills would
have purchased more wool if holders
had been willing to make sufficient con-
cessions in prices. Holders of wool are
very firm, however, and as result a
number OF intending purchasers did
not secure all the wool they expected
to buy. The country markets con-
tinued excited and the strength of the
situation is accentuated by the in
creased activity and strength in the
goods market. The sales of the week
in Boston amounted to $685., 400
pounds domestic and $4,000 POUNDS
foreign, making a total of 6,163, 400
againts total of 4.44S,O 900 for the pre-
vious week and total of 9S1, 200 for
the corresponding week last year. Sales
since January /, 1899, amount to 106,-
100000 pounds, against 51.464, 300
pounds last year at this time.

THE FIRST WOOL SOLD
1t Brought Twelve and Twelve
and One-Half Cents at
Billings.
A GOOD SEASON AHEAD
Territory Worth IA and 16 Cents in
Boston and the Market Is
Strong and Firm.

The wool season has fairly begun in
Billings and if the opening price is any
criterion, the prices paid last year will
again be equalled this year. The bad
weather has delayed the arrival of
clips, that belonging to L. P.
Southworth being about the only COM
plete one to come in so far with the
exception of J. J. Walks. which was
the first shorn in this part of Montana
Shearing has been in progress for the
past two weeks at the head of Blue
creek and at Twenty Mile. The former
pens are conducted by the First Ma
tional bank Of this city and the feeces
are being shorn by machinery this year.
The wet and cold weather has greatly
delayed shearing in this section, but
during the present week many wool
men have taken out sheare1s and the
work will be rushed.
The eastern buyers have commenced
to flock to Billings and in short time
they will all be here. The season for
Wyoming and Utah wool is just clos
ing, the prevailing prices being from 10
to 10 cents, but Montana wool is al
ways higher. The first sale of Billings
wool took place Monday, being the clip
Of Mr.. Walk, consisting of 10000
pounds. 1t was bought by J. E. Hemp
hill of Helena, representing jeremiah
Williams & Co. of Boston, and brought
1917 cents. The wool was little
light, only shearing about seven pounds
to the fleece. but Mr.. Walks sheep
have been afflicted with scab. The
other sale was $4,000 pounds of Wyom-
ing wool belonging to @. K. Hay and
was picked up by Joe Wing for Dewey,
Gould & Go. of Boston, who paid 10
cents for the same. Wing says there
was discount for tags and buck wool.
This clip, he says, is a great deal bet
ter than the average Wyoming wool
and this accounts for the good price
paid.
Some twenty odd cars of Wyoming
wool arrived in Billings this week from
Bridger, but is awaiting the arrival Of
its owners before being opened or
placed on the market. This is wool
that formerly went to Casper, Wyo..
but since the opening of the wagon road
into Bridger and a better market here
will now come to Billings. The owners
of the wool will probably reach this
city either tomorrow or the first of t!,e
next week, SO as to be Oh the ground
early. The tone of the Boston wool
market continues strong, despite the
fact that the volume of business has
not been as great as in the last few
weeks. Territory woods of Montana
and Dakota sold from ii to 16 cents.
with secured. on basis of 43@45
cents for fine medium and fine. Here
tofore, whenever there has been a good
buyers in Billings have paid
the Boston prices and the tendency
seems to be in the same direction this
season. The present outlook is favor
able for good and prosperous season.

in hearing what message Mr. Critten-

this simple text, which could easily be
understood by the children: Little
children come unto me'' Mrs. Moffatt
sang that touching song, "Jesus Loves
Even the Waits of the Street, in her
sweet and winning way. It was a
beautiful sight and one long to be re-.
membered by the older ones, when, at
the close of the service the evangelist
asked all who loved Jesus to come front
and gather around the altar. to see the
little ones march up in body. The
meeting closed with the song, Just as
am,' sung with much spirit by the
children.
