BRISK WOOL TRADE.

The wool clip Of the past season ex-
ceeds that of any year since 1884. The
total clip was 02,50232S pounds. The
average weight was 6.33 pounds and the
shrinking only 606 per cent.
Not in years have Eastern buyers
found the wool crop in such good condi-
ton. The stocks on hand at the WOODEN
mills were scant when the season began,
and heavy sales have been reported.
Last weeks shipments from the Boston
wool market amounted to 7,742119
pounds.
There is no sign of weakness in the
Eastern market. and there is every indi-
cation that the wool crop Of the past
season will be taken into the channels
of trade and the finished product laid
before the consumer without delay.
Predictions respecting the market for
next year, based upon the rapid con-
sumption of this seasons product, all
bespeak brisk opening for the wool
market next summer. The demand for
the product in which so many Montana
residents are interested was never
better.

RAILROAD DEVELOPMENT.

A few days ago there died in st. Louis
a venerable engineer who assisted in the
construction of the first locomotive ever
operated.
Within the short span of a human life
time an industry has grown to such mar
Vicious proportions that its greatness is
the wonder of the age.
The railroad systems in the course Of
an ordinary lifetime have grown from
a few miles of uneven track to a mighty
stretch of perfectly constructed highway
upon which billions of passengers are
transported annually in safety.
The mileage of the worlds railroads
is now estimated at 466,539 miles. Du.-
ing the last year $3.50, 900, 900 passengers
We're carried, 1921, 600, 900 tons of freight
moved, and gross earnings to the amount
of 49, 155. 900 received.
Many are now alive who saw the be-
ginning of the marvellous work. In the
face of the results accomplished in such
a brief space of time, prophecy is silenced
and the widest dreams of the enthusiast
take on an appearance Of posi- Utility.

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER %, 1901.

The full text of Governor Toole's reply
20 the letter of Governor Van SAINT of
Minnesota on the subject of the Great
Northern Northern Pacific consolidation
appears in another column. Toole quotes
from the constitution and the statutes
the law already in effect in Mon
tana on the subject of certain COM
binations and proves very clearly that
no further authority is needed to justify
proceedings against Mr.. Hills scheme.
The law as it stands is all sufficient
and it only remains for the governor to
instruct the attorney general to open
the ball should his excellency conclude
the public interests to be in jeopardy.
II Governor Van SAINT went to the ex-
IRENE of calling the Minnesota legisla-
ture to convene in extra session, the
reason doubtless is that neither the
constitution nor laws of that state au-
thorized the proceedings which he wishes
to initiate. In Montana, fortunately.
the situation is different. the state Off
Gals here having ample authority in
existing law to warrant them in attack
ing Mr.. Hills project. Besides, the
same financial reasons which induced
the governor to refuse to call an extra
session in the St. Louis exposition mat
ter would operate now against any sug-
gestion for an appropriation to carry
out the plans of Governor Van SAINT
The doubt which seems to give the
governor pause is whether or not the
proposed railroad merger would be a
benefit or a detrment to the state. The
governor is wide enough between the
eyes to know that all combinations of
capital are not alike-that some do good
and some evil. The combination of min
Ing companies frequently so reduces the
expenses of dead work, litigation. ETC.,
that profits and pay-rolls are increased
under normal conditions, and the cost
of treatment so reduced that ores other
wise worthless can be utilized and entire
communities share in the benefit. The
same principle may be involved in GER
tain railroad deals. yet if it is not. if the
sole purpose be to prevent competition
or raise freights then the sooner the
proper authorities enforce the law the
better. Governor Toole is now consider
ing the subject, and the Inter Mountain
co'nmehds to all interested parties a
careful perusal of his very interestinr
letter.

A GROUP OF SUSPECTS.

A group of alleged train robbers. pho
tographed by the police of st. Louis, has
been sent to the Inter Mountain in the
hope that Identification may follow the
publication of the picture in the section
in which the supposed outlaws are best
known.
Chief of Police Kelley and his able as
sstants in the Missouri metropolis seem
to be thief catchers of more than ordi-
nary enterprise and sagacity. 1t is plain
that no efforts are being spared to bring
to justice the men who held up the
Great Northern train July 3, dynamited
uhe express car and made off with a
stack of plumber larger than had been
furnished by a dozen rohberies in former
years.
In these days of the Bertillon system
of measurement, few criminals, once ar
rested, can escape identification when
again taken by the law. 1t is not by any
means improbable that the men whose
pictures are presented on another page
were in Montana at the time the rob-
berry was committed, and may be recog-
nized as temporary residents in the COM
munity where the hold-up was accom-
plished.
If recognition follows the publication
Of the suspected mems pictures in this
state, another link in the chain Of evil
dence against them will be complete.

Butte's main reason for being thank
full is that the new copper district east
of the city is daily giving brighter
promise of rich and permanent ore
bodies that will add to the profits and
pay-rolls of the companies now oper-
ating there.
Another reason for thanks is that the
copper market has been saved from
wreck and ruin by the men who control
the copper surplus and who reduced their
own dividends in order to save money

Governor Toole yesterday committed
to imprisonment for life the death sem
tence of Milton Howell, who was found
guilty of the murder of a man named
Rolling.
1t was made apparent to the governor
that some doubt exists touching the ma
ture of Howells offense, the claim being
made that the latter acted in self
defense.
1T is a great pity that a doubt should
exist in any matter affecting the life of
a human being. 1t is plain that if tha
prisoner acted in self-defense he should
be set free, and that if he did not. the
sentence should be carried out regard
less of every influence exerted on his
behalf. A Communication is very ant +,
do injustice either to the living or tba
dead, yet in the case of Howell it is
likely that Governor Toole has acted in
accordance with his best judgment.
