Wool Growers Association,

At the late meeting of the wool-grow-
ers' association at Chinook resolutions
We're passed asking for a thorough or
ganization of the woolgrowers of the
state into two districts with headquarters
at Great Falls and Billings. That an
nual meetings be held where questions
relating to the handling of sheep, wool,
and prices may be intelligently studied.
Also local details, such as the price OF
shearing, the best methods Of preparing
the woods for market; the determining OF
dates and conditions of sales, and auo-
ton days; the encouragement of more
direct communication between the grow
ers and feeders; the price of herding
and many other things which could be
friendly discussion.
The resolutions also set forth the nee,1
Of strong support of the national wool
growers association, and asks that sheep
shows be established at places Of perma-
nent headquarters during time of meet
ings They also ask for the cooperation
of local organizations and urge the secre-
tary of the state association to consider
the advisa bility of issuing a call to the
woolgroWers for such IA meeting. The
resolutions are well written and the
benefits to be derived from such a move
are clearly defined and it is to be hoped
that action on these matters of such vi
tai interest will be taken.-Dawsor

THE fruit crop in Idaho is practically

frosts that came late in the season.
Around Boise and Nampa, the great
prune centers, there Is almost nothing ia

In the season. before the frost, at from
500 to 800 cars Of prunes alone; but now
doubt whether the entire state will ex-
port 100 cars-perhaps not Is. It Is

hopes slip away as they are doing this

PRUNES ARE HIT HARD RAPS

w. C. Mcbride, general agent of the
Rio Grande Western. returned last night
from a three months trip into Washing
ton, Oregon and Idaho, where he has
been in the interest of his road. Speak
ing of crop conditions. Mr.. Mcbride
said:
THE wool crop OF Idaho. which has
been the principal object OF my visit, Is
much earlier than usual, and has been
practically all disposed of. The crop is
probably the largest In the history Of
the state, about $1,000. 900 pounds having
been sold. There is no great general
market, by establishing q general wool
Montana. and the crop is shipped direct
from every little station along the sheep
belt. Boise is probably the largest mar
ket, though Huntington, Weiser and
several others are not far behind. There
is movement on foot to concentrate the
matter.i by establishing a general wool
headquarters at one good point. with the
hope that better prices can be secured
and much trouble avoided in the sale.

SILVER BOW LEADS AGAIN
Jail Doors Swing Widest In the Zenith
City Of Notwithstanding
Rarord

L. p. Benedict, chief clerk in the
bureau of agriculture. labor and indus.
try. has collected for use in the next re-
port of the bureau some interesting sta
tistics relative to Jail incarcerations in
Montana for 1900. The figures he has
compiled, In comparison with those Of
1899. show that there were more crimi.
mails. or the police officers were more
alert during last year than In the pre-
ceding one. as in 1899 there were 1888
people locked up in the county jails OF
the state, while last year this number
was increased to $3.50.
Silver Bow, Of course, leads the list
of counties in the number Of people con-
fined. having total for the year Of 2, s4S
boarders in its county Jail, who served
an average of 7.3 days each. OF the
total number. 1.471 were serving sem
fences for misdemeanors and 1857 were
awaiting the district court on the charge
of having committed a felony. The
county had 45.17 per cent of the total
incarcerations Of the state for last year.
Sweet Grass county ranks at the bot
tom of the list in the number of confine-
ments. With total Of only six. The ex-
hibit shows 1873 incarcerations in Cho-
teau county during the year: "A in Fer

ed the ominous fact that their total vote

ed the ominous fact that their total vote
had greatly decreased.
On the other hand, while the republi-
cans have failed to carry the state they
showed a large increase over their last
previous vote in general election, and
a very large increase over the returns of
any previous election since fusion first
brought republican defeat. The repub-
licans have made continuous gains. with
corresponding democratic loss.
Political students know the meaning Of
such figures. The first evidences Of the
decline Of party, in a state or country,
are followed by more marked evidences
of decay. Unless the Montana democrats
can defy fate, or the Montana republic
cans are unequal to the opportunity
which has come to them, history win re-
peat itself land the republicans of the
state will triumph once more next year.
With good work, the chances are good
for such a result.-Forsyth Times.

washout on the Northern Pacific rail-
way on that day. Usually and as gen.
eral thing washOut Is not a source of
enjoyment for anybody. but on this oc-
casion the people of my town We're
pleased that the high water stopped
the train at Miles City and compelled
the passengers to lay over there during
the Fourth, and nearly all Of them join
ed us in celebrating the day.
Among the passengers on the train
were Governor ]. X. Toole and his wife
and family. They were on their way
east. and the waters swelled the banks
of the Yellowstone and delayed his train
for a day. The Tongue river and the
Yellowstone meet together at the town
Of Miles and the waters from the con-
verging streams spread out and made a
mineratur lake, engulfing the low grade
of the railway and rendering traffic ex-
ceedingly perilous. The sight, looking
out from the town. was grand one.
Below and above the little town the
waters moved sullenly on and the dirty,
clayey color of the flood changed as
the twisting streams met and mingled
their waters and flowed in unision on to
the Gulf of Mexico. The spirit of the
day seemed to have entered into the
waters Of Montana and the streams was
out on a tear and We're celebrating with
the rest.
"The orator Of the day in Miles City
was young lawyer named Harry Will
son. He was the youngest lawyer In
the town and a pretty good speaker
and pleased everybody with his rattline
fire Of elocuence. Then the crowd clam.
ored for Governor Toole. He was giver
a seat on the platform at the begin
ming Of the exercises and he Is so wei
known as an eloquent speaker that the
crowd couldn't let him off without s
speech.
when he finally consented to tall

said he had been billed to speak in Boze

tention of carrying out the programme
by an urgent call from the cas-. tina
impeled him to make haste to leave thu
state. After the few Introductory re
marks and a few graceful verbal bou
quets for Miles City, the governor thei
launched forth into an eloquent figh
that had something of the old-tine rinl
about it. 1t was the opinion of every
one that the governor had prepared
speech for Bozeman and delivered 1t a
Miles when he was caught in the wash
out. Everybody in Miles enjoyed tn
situation immensely and the soverno
appeared to think he was having a 600

Decadent Democracy.

One of the significant facts in Mon
tana politics. and one which will be not
ed more closely next year than it was
last year, is that the democratic party Of
the state has entered upon decline.
Republicans may not have attached the
importance to this fact that 1t deserves,
but they should take it into consideration
when the plans are being outlined for
the next campaign. 1t is filled with sig
nificance.> A party reverse bay not be
eloquent of party decline nor a party
victory be eloquent OF party growth.
Those who understand the ebb and flow
Of political tides pay but little attention
to majorities and pluralities as means
of ascertaining whether a political party
is rising or falling in popular regard
They know that it is possible for party
to poll a majority at general election
and still show the palpable evidence OF
q decline In the official returns. That is
just what happened in Montana last
year, for while the democrats through
the use and manipulations of the CLARK
barrel, showed a majority upon the face
Of the returns. the same returns disclos'

would rather loaf than work and who
chooses politics instead of business for
a livelihood-he is the youth who fails
and who readily agrees with the am
archist newspapers that seek to poison
the public mind by falsely claiming that
protection breeds trusts, that trusts pre-
vent individual effort, and that asa result
we are becoming a nation of dependents.
The truth is, there was never period in
the history of this country when there
was such a demand for bright young
men to conduct great enterprises. AS
ing story from New York letter to the
Pittsburg Post:
"Mr. Schwab, could you recommend
me a good business man for manu-
featuring plant, who would be willing to
devote his time to the concern and put
forth his best efforts in exchange for
salary of $4,000 per year?' This was
the startling question addressed this
morning at the breakfast table in the
Waldorf Astoria to Charles NJ. Schwab
of Pittsburg, president of the steel COM
bine. and himself credited with receiv-
ing a salary amounting all the way from
$50. 900 to 100000 per year. The man
who asked the question was Colonel
Pope of the Pope Manufacturing COM
pany. A year ago the question would
have been laughed at as a great joke.
Very earnestly and in all seriousness the
young Pennsylvania replied: Il am
very sorry. Ctl,nel Pope, but I cannot.
In fact, l am looking for about eight
such men myself, to whom l would be
willing to pay similar salaries" The
waiter who was breaking the eggs was
the only member of the party who dis
played any excitement over this remark
able heart-to-heart talk.
That story ought to be read by every
youth in the land. 1t should stimulate
the ambition Of every boy who desires
to make his mark in the world. There
are too many young men growing no
without trade, while most of tne
others are preparing for the professions
in the belief that they are lucrative and
do not soil the hands or prevent the
wearing of dress suits. This country is
full of starving lawyers and doctors who
in the mechanical arts and great indus
trial enterprises under way might have
constant employment at big salaries.
There is always a demand for brains.
Mr. Schwab, who was once a poor boy,
realized that long ago, so he applied
himself to study and hard work. and to-
day is a shining example for the you'll;
of the country to emulate.

KOHRS TALKS OF CATTLE
The Well Known Deer Lodge Resident
Also Chats Of Weather, Mines
and High Water.

Hon. Conrad Kohrs, the we'll known
banker and stockman of Deer Lodge, Is
in the city today, guest at the Finlen.
Mr.. Kohrs is one of the pioneers of the
state, and few men in Montana have a
wider acquaintance.
Speaking of the stock interests of
Montana, Mr.. Kohrs said:
Cattle are doing particularly we'll
this year. especially those in the western
part of the state. They are doing we'll
in the eastern parts, too. but the sea-
son is later. and the grass did not start
so early, so they are not in quite as
good flesh there. Over in Deer Lodge
and adjacent counties, cattle are fat
as butter.
1.-THE calf crops is better than usual,
owing to the favorable winter. and the
mild weather of the spring. While in
many places the spring was not es-
pecially warm, there were few storms,
and almost every calf was saved.
I'm eastern Montana. Dawson county
for instance there was some terribly hot
weather in May. On my ranch in Daw-
son county, the thermometer registered
as high as 107 degrees-hot enough
weather for the tropics, it would seem.
That was before the rains began. In
June, and the ranges. having little snow
or other moisture curing tnc winter,
were too dry for the grass to start.
Now, however. they are grazing luzu-
riously, and will make good feed for
the winter.
THE streams of the state, speaking
generally, are falling very rapidly, ow-
| ing to the lack of snow in the mountains
There may, however, be no very great
Idifficulty in getting enough water for
Irrigation. In eastern Montana. where
there is little irrigation. and the water is
least needed, the streams are the lowest
1.-THE town of Deer Lodge is living
along in the same old way an ideally
pretty place for family to live. and nc
great excitement of any kind. We had
quite Fourth of July celebration. which
was largely attended. The country
around Deer Lodge is green with crop:
though everything is rather late. ow'
ing to the slowness of the season.
Some little activity is being shown II
mining circles In the country ad5acen
to Deer Lodge. The Emery mine. eigh
miles distant is working quite larg'
force of men. and doing we'll. There arr
some others which are working along II
a small way. and there Is possibilit!
that more discoveries will be made t
