GOING TO CODY.
Wyoming Wool May Not Come Here
Next Season.

The following concerning alleged
plans of the Burlington in regard to
diverging the market for northern
Wyoming wool from this city to Cody
appears under a Billings date in the
last issue of the Great Falls Tribune:
During last winter the Burlington
railroad contemplated improvements
to it's wool house and petitioned the
city council to close Twenty-eighth
street north so that it might enlarge.
it's present quarters, but this the city
| refused to do. Now a question aris-
| es as to the Burlington's probable
attitude regarding the handling of the
| Wyoming wool, which will be its next
| season, instead of the Northern Pa
%cifc's, as it has been for the past sew
eral seasons. Since the city refused
to grant the company's request it is
said to be the railroads intention OF
building a warehouse at Cody, Wyo.
and handling the Wyoming wool from
that point. If such proves to be the
case it will mean a loss of between
g 900, 900 and 100000 pounds to this
shipping point. 1t is a well known
fact that the Burlington let the con
tract last spring~for the erection OF
large wool house at Cody, but before
it had been started the contract was
postponed. This vas no doubt due
to the efforts of H. B. SegurS OF this
city, general agent of the Burlington
lNow it is reasonably certain that tn
Burlington will go ahead with tn
building at Cody. The lumber is OF
the ground and it would take but
short time to finish the building and
besides, the railroad would not hav'
to compete with the. NorthernfPaclti
as to rates and would be able t
handle the whole lot to the east"

INTERESTING TO ANGLERS.
Pisciculture Develops New Variety of
Game Fish.

~ EJ .T"-aN NEI -
While the state of Montana has
done nothing more than to pass laws
calculated to protect and perpetuate
the various game fishes native to the
waters of Montana, it may interest the
disciples of Isaac Walton of this To-
scality to learn something concerning
the results which have followed ex7
lperiments made by the state game
and fish commission of Minnesota in
the way of propagating new varieties
of game fish in that state. Gazette
reporter a few days ago had an inter-
| esting chat with an enthusiastic fish,
erman from Minneapolis who had
much to say in praise of a new variety
of trout with which many of the
| streams of his state have been stock
ed and which are just beginning to
be caught in large numbers.
The new fish which is delighting
the anglers of Minnesota is the pro-
duct of a cross of the native trout and
the Loeb Lomond trout, imported
from Scotland. The imported fish
were secured about six years ago and
the cross has proved to be, even more
successful than was hoped for, as
the offspring multiplies rapidly and
is as gamey a fish as ever took a line
at leastfit is so described by the MAI
to whom The Gazette is indebted fol
the information here given. In ap
pearance the cross resembled the
Scotch trout, retaining the brown
spots, but proved twice as gamey al
u either of it's progenitors. AS the ny
brid has proved immensely popula.
with the anglers, the commission !
! keeping a large number on hand a
!, the state Hatchery for breeding pun
poses and fast as possible neN
streams are stocked.
In addition to the half breed Scots
the commission is also i%ntroducin
e other crosses of trout. One OF thes
is obtained from the Lake Superlo
trout and the common brook trou
= and a fish the size Of the lake trou
: but with all the marks Of the sbroo
u variety is the result. The eggs Of tn
y cross. however, are sterile and tn

a success. Efforts are also maxim

MIDNIGHT COMEDY.
Defective Revolver Prevents Possible
Highly Sensational Tragedy.

#H- tENTaL NLHN4E LXEL". RI Er9RM bMt.G%' a. Nr-AHHyAJ
According to all accounts a lively
scene was enacted at the Northern
Pacific depot a night or two ago. An
injured wife and a large and inf1u-
entail member of the sixshooter fam
lily played conspicuous parts in the at
fair, which owing to the failure of the
weapon to explode amounted to no
more than a comedy, although the
wife intended that it should be a
tt agedy. AS it was, some lively
sprinting on the part of a corpulent,
auburn haired member of the frail
sisterhood ensued in which but small
resistance was offered by the fences
intervening between the tracks and
the safety that lay beyond. The
momentum gained by the fleeing one
was sufficient to enable her to break
down whole panels Of the two fences
which she sought to place between
herself and the wife, who a a close
second and swapping the pistol al
almost every bound. The truant hus
band sought safety in another direc
ton and escaped, as did also his
partner in guilt.
The incident had it's inception in 6
sleeping car and it is said that the
information on which the wife actet
was furnished her by a detective
whom she had employed for the pur
pose of watching the husband.

THE CLERK %slTA
Doubtful About Granting Marriage
License to Cousins.

License to Cousins.
From Thursdays Daily Gazette.
For once it may be said that Clerk
of the Court Williams issued a marri-
age license under protest, as he is
probably never quite SO well pleased
in the discharge of an official duty as
when that duty consists of granting
the necessary permission to a couple
of young people anxious to become
mated. The occasion of his relutancy
arose yesterday when he was ap.
preached by a man who asked a IL
cense to marry his first cousin. Mr.
Williams was of the opinion that the
application was barred by the law OF
.consanguinity, but after consulting
the statutes and also obtaining the
opinion Of the county attorney con
cluded that no legal objection could
The Billings gazette. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1896-1919, 1901-08-23

be advanced against granting the
mans application and the license was
accordingly issued.
During territorial days a law exist
ed which forbade the intermarrying
of cousins no further than once re
moved, but since the admission to
statehood the laws have been chang
ed and first cousins may nov marry
without violating anything more ser
ious than the prejudice which OBJ
tains among people against marriage
between persons SO closely related BY
ties of blood.

AT Sugar City farm of 1900 acres
has been cultivated for raising sugar
beets, and sugar factory has been
built with a capacity OF 500 tons every

women have been employed during the

consisted of a hut or two and thous-

"A general estimate of the cost of

taken from the Rocky Ford plant
places the general average of sugar in

of sugar being about IA per cent, while
the maximum has reached % per cent,
with a coefhcient of purity ranging
from so to 80 per cent. In stating these
results, reference is especially made to
the factory at Rocky Ford, built and
worked by the American Beet Sugar
company, a New York corporation,
which works two factories in Caifor-
mia and three in Nebraska, the one at
Rocky Ford being their fifth. The ex-
