GOVERNMENT TAkES A HAND.
Agricultural Department PromuIgates Some
Requirements as to Dipping Of Sheep.
Helena lndependent.l

Helena independently
All sheep going from one state into
another must be dipped insomeprep-
aration approved by the United
States department of agriculture.
The order has gone out from Wash
ington signed by Acting Secretary
Brigham. and has just been received
by State Veterinarian Knowles. The
department, taking advantage OF its
authority to act in the interests oil
Interstate trade, has announced that
the inefficient preparations hereto
fore used in some localities will not
be tolerated, and it undertakes to
say what preparations 1t will ap-
prove. The order says:
1t il ordered, That from and after
Aug. 10, 1899. no sheep affected with
scabies, and no sheep which have
been i'm contact with Others so affect
ed, shall be allowed shipment from
one state or territory into another,
or from any state into the District OF
Columbia, or from the district into
any state, unless said sheep shall
have first been dipped in a mixture
approved by this department.
The dips now approved are:
/. The tobaccO-and-sulphur dip,
made with sufficient extract OF to-
bacco to give mixture containing
no less than five lone-hundredths oI
one per cent of nicotine and two per
cent OF flo wers Of sulphur.
2. The llme-and-sulphu dip, made
with pounds Of unslaked lime and
"A pounds OF flowers of sulphur to 100
gallons of water. The lime and sui
pbur should be boiled together for
not less than two hours and all sedi-
ment allowed to- subside before the
liquid is placed in the dipping vat.
The owner of the sheep IL privi-
legged to choose which one Of the
aforementioned dips should be used
for his animals. The department Will
instruct inspectors to enforce due
care in dipping sheep, but ii assumes
no responsibility for loss or damage
to such animals, and persons who
wish to avoid any risks that may be
incident to dipping at livestock yards
should see that their sheep are free
from disease before they are shipped
to market.
The official circular says that losses
from scabies have been In some sec
tions exceedingly heavy and discour

HIGH SCHOOL PROPOSITION CARRIES.
Notwithstanding Antagonism in the West
ern End OF the County, the Friends OF
Higher Education Succeed BY
Safe Majority.

The vote upon the question of es-
tablishing a county high school In
Lewistown. held Saturday last, was
light throughout the county, many
districts holding no election at all
and the votes in towns being hardly
fifty per cent. Notw outstanding
this apathy, however, and the large
maiorities returned against the pro-
position from Utica. Philbrouk, Rock
creek and other points. the majority
in favor will be nearly 200 when all
the votes shall have been received.
In Lewistown SO little interest
seemed to be manifested that livery
teams were engaged and throughout
the afternoon carried men and
women to the polls. OF 3l7 votes
cast, there were but against the
proposition and of these two are
known to have been mistakes In
understanding tie proper way to
mark the ballot. During the evening
returns were received from several
outlying precints, but there was
never any real danger that the
majority would be against the
movement.
The vote so far as heard up to this
morning. was as follows:

At Cottonwood and Forest Grove
there is known to have been no vote,
tho a majority in both places favored
the proposition. The county clerk
has received returns from several
precints, but which are sealed and
will not be known until after the
canvass by the commissioners
Among these precincts are Warm
Springs and McMiilen's.
The canvass will probably be made
Monday and thereafter the commits
siOners will name six trustees, three
of whom must be from the Lewis
town district, and this board will
act with the county superintendent
In the institution and management
of the school. These trustees will
draw lots to decide upon their terms
which will be one, two and three
We rs respectively, and thereafter the
terms OF all will be three years.
Since it is known that the county
will establish the school, speculation
, il now rife concerning the faculty.
Professors Vancil and Parent, both
now in Lewistown, and Prof. Sillo-
way, visiting in the east, will prob
ably he applicants. Professors
Vancil aud Silloway We're the high
teachers last year in this district and
of course will be relieved since this
work has passed To the county.
Prof. Parent was in the grammar
grades.
The course will include the work Of
the ninth, tenth. eleventh and twelfth
grades and us many Of the pupils
from the outside, who paid tuition
last gear, will be in the eighth grade
this year, it might be well to include
this work also. so that these scholars
may not be obliged to pay tuition
the ensuing term, the desire being to
make the higher work as nearly free
to all children as possible. The work
named is divided as follows:
Eighth grade-Arithmetic, gram-
mar, geography, history, reading,
physiology and science.
Ninth grade-Arithmetic, compost
tion, botany, bookkeeping, physi-
ology, algebra, zoology, physical
geography, civics.
Tenth grade Algebra, rhetoric
latin, zoology, botany, physics,
geometry.
Eleventh grade-Geometry, litera-
ture. latin, general history.
Twelfth grade-Arithmetic review,
algebra, geometry, chemistry, elocu-
tion, literature, didactics and geo.
logy.
The work the first year will include
no less than eighteen recitationa
daily and for this two professors will
find themselves well engaged.
Prof. yaucil believes there will be
some forty pupils in the higher
branches and probably thirty-five IN
the eighth grade.

HAIL SIX INCHES DEEP.
HaNe Visited by a January Storm in
August.

Havre. Aug. 2.-Havre seems to be
enjoying CD a series OF mishaps and
misfortuaes. Last night occurred Il
furious electric storm, accompanied
by torrents of rain and little hail.
The streets were flooded, some to the
depth of a foot and half. Cellars
were flooded and several hundred dol
lars worth Of goods were destroyed.
The Havre Commercial Co. was the
heaviest loser, much salt, sugar. etc,
in the basement being damaged or
lost entirely.
As the mist cleared away the noun
tain tops were seen to be covered
with hail or snow. Five or six inches
OF hail is reported from the vicinity OF
Big Sandy.
The storm was doubtless the cause
of another. wreck on the Great North
ern between here and Pacific June
tion. Shortly after the arrival oi

gine and caboose. coming in from the
scene Of yesterdays wreck at Big
Sandy creek, were derailed, the en-
gine being thrown ON the north side
Of the track, the tender on the south,
and the cabooselying squarely across
it.
The accident was probably caused
by the settling Of the roadbed, which
was softened by the excessive rain
of last night. No one was hurt ex'
cept the fireman, who was slightly
bruised.

Six Million Pounds Sold at Great Falls at
Prices Over ~ Cents.
[Great Falls Tribune.I

Not all the wool that has been re-
ceived this season has yet been
weighed, but 1t Is a very close esti-
mate that the total receipts have
been about $500, 900 pounds. If this
is erroneous iu any degree, it will he
found slightly below the actual total.
This Is nearly million pounds
more than was received last year, al
though less by about a million pounds
than the receipts in 1887. There has
been more wool received this year,
however, than ever before, for In 1897
much of the so-called wool was dirt
and grease. while this year the wool
was unusually clean.
Great Falls il the greatest initial
wool market in the United States in
all respects. 1t leads In total re-
ceipts, in the highest price paid in
Montana, in the number OF clips re-
ceived, in the average of prices paid
for Montana woods, and in the num-
her of buyers. And, more than all,
as result of all these conditions II IL
By far the most satisfactory market
i'm the state. The seven hundred per
sons interested In clips sold here this
season are all well pleased; their wool
was handled promptly, was well
cared for and brought prices from 4
to s cents higher than were antici-
pated six months ago. Sellers were
treated fairly by the buyers. Pay
ments were promptly made.
notable feature of the market has
been the number of new sellers
probably 100 being here who had
never marketed here before. some ol
these were men who had long been In
the business, marketing their clips at
other markets; but the most OF them
were men who had just gone into
the business. They had small and
excellent clips, and received just ar
much attention as those marketing
big clips. 1t seems that every man
who had the necessary capital and
range went into the sheep business d
year ago, and the results are very
beneficial to northern Montana.
The 100000 pounds or so sold
here this season brought an average
price of over II cents-at least 2 cents
higher than in any other market ex
cept Fort Benton. where the same
buyers operated. The range OF prices
was from 14k to 2OS cents, and few
clips went at below l6.
There seems to have been Il general

impression that the fOckmasters re-
ceived ess per fleece than last year.
because OF the cleanliness of the wool
This belief seems un warranted. From
all that the Tribune can learn, after
closely watching the sales and max
ing general inquiry, it is the conclu.
sion that, all i'm all, the fieeces mar
keted here have brought about 10 per
cent more than they did last year.
They were light, but the prices were
so much better that the loss in weight
was considerably more than offset.
1t has been "A good season for the
sheepmen. There is every reason to
believe that still better seasons are
ahead.
