Few Facts Concerning the Billings

Few Facts Concerning the Billings
wool Market.
Comparison Of the methods now
governing the local wool market and
those which obtained only a few years
ago shows a remarkable difference
and also speaks well for the advance
ment made and the superiority Of the
new. The time was very recent when
business was done in a haphazard,
slipshod manner, with no attempt at
systemization and with no regard for
detail and minutea. Competitive bid
ding was practically a thing unknown
and the sellers were at the mercytof
n or two buyers: 1t is true that the
industry of raising wool for the mar
ket has assumed wonderful proper
lions in this part Of the state during
the past few years, but even VIXEN the
old way was in vogue Billings was
one of the largest wool Gamers in the
northwest and those who brought
their clips here were entitled to bet
ter treatment than they received. The
first step in the way Of better things
was taken when proper warehouses
were built and accommodations afford.
ed the buyer and seller for the trans
action Of their business. With the
improved facilities offered both buy
ers and shippers increased in number
and instead Of being obliged to take
the prices offered by the few men
who came out this way, the seller
soon found that he was Of some i'm
portance and that the demand for his
staple was so great that many were
seeking to secure it. Competition
took the place Of monopoly and this
resulted in better prices and a larger
field Of operations. A very natura
result was the increase in numbers
Of those who considered the sheep in
dustry as a field offering good returns
on the money invested and from 6
very modest beginning the wool mar
ket Of this city has grown to be one

People Owning Cows Don't Like New

People Owning Cows Don't Like New
Ordinance.
A couple OF weeks ago the city coun-
Gil passed an ordinance prohibiting
the driving of cattle through the
streets and by SO doing the town herd
was to be abolished. This caused a
storm Of protest to arise from those
who have been driving the town herd
and from the persons whose animals
comprise the herd.
The action taken by th1 council
was due to the protests That came to
them regarding the Protection Of
lawns and trees. No small amount Of
money was expendeYby property own
ers last spring An1 in years gone by
in identifying tAsr places by setting
out trees and plfnting shrubs, blu. as
long as the town herd was permitted
to run it meant that no protection was
to be afforded the work and expense
put forward.
Now comes a demand from the per-
sons owning cows that the ordinance
be repealed, as they say it works a
great hardship upon them, and in
some instances takes the means of
livelihood away from those owning
cows.
A petition with about $50 signers
was this week filed with the city
clerk and will come before the next
regular meeting Of the city council,
next Tuesday evening.

sHEEPMEN TO ORGANIZE.
Call Will issue For Purpose Of Effect.
ina An ORGANIZATION.

~ W.
inn An Organization.
Stimulated by the success which at
tended the efforts Of the sheepmen Of
northern Montana in that direction,
the f1ockmasters of this part Of the
state have decided to form a perma-
nent organization for mutual benefit
and to advance the interests of the
wool growers. 1t was intended to call
a meeting to be held in this city to-
morrow evening, when former Sena-
tor Power, president Of the State Wool
Growers association was expected to
be in town, the intention being to ask
him to attend, as he took an active
part in the meeting held at Great Falls
a few days ago and also was chairman
of the temporary organization. Late
yesterday a dispatch was received
from him stating that he found 1t i'm
possible to be here this evening, as
he was unavoidably detained. In con-
sequence no meeting will be called UNI
til It is known to a certainty when
he can be present, as his attendance
is earnestly desired at the preliminary
meeting.
The association formed by the wool
growers of the country surrounding
Great Falls contains a large member
ship and it is expected will accom-
plish much toward furthering the in
terests Of it's members. The initial
meeting was well attended and the
utmost enthusiasm marked it's pro-
ceedings. DR.. Knowles, state veteri-
marian, was present and gave an inter.
esting and instructive talk on diseases
peculiar to sheep, their treatment and
the effects Of poisonous weeds. In
addition Professor Chestnut Of the de-
partment Of agriculture, Washington,
d. c., was also present and told of the
different poisonous plants indigenous
to this state and the remedies to be
employed in case it was found that
sheep had become poisoned by eating
them.
Much attention was paid to the mat
ter of baling and pressing wool and
a committee was appointed to confer
with the railroad companies relative
to securing the same rates on baled
as on pressed wool, and to make the
minimum carload 10000 pounds for
baled wool, as it is for pressed
wool. These and many other matters
were considered and various commit
tees were appointed to look after at
fairs connected with the newly organ
lied association
AS Mr.. Power may be relied upon te
give the meeting the benefit of his ex
perience and observation Of the Great
Falls meeting, those who are the pro
moters of the plan for al organization
here are confident of success. At al
events, they are determined to do al
in their power and knowing that the
wool growers of eastern Montana are
fully alive to the Importance OF unit
ed action in the promotion Of the bus
mess Of the 1ockmasters feel assur
ed that the organization which ma!
be effected will be a good n and on
which will attract every sheepman II
this part Of the state a we'll as prob
ably many from northwestern Wyo
ming.

NUTRIOSO.


1t has been the desire of quite a number, that a detailed account of the attempted robbery here be printed, so the following has been written: A daring burglar made an attempt to rob Charles E. Baker, Forest Ranger of the
 Department of the interior on the night of Aug. A.
 Baker was stationed at Nntrioso with his partner Harris Durham. About 2: a. m. Baker was awak- ened by the rober in the act of taking his pantaloons. Taking his six shooter from the head of his bed and spring up Baker ordered the rascal to drop the pants, the fellow did not obey and Baker fired. The boil pass ed thru the top of his high crown ed bat knocking it off his head. Quick as thought the rober vince led and returned the shot, which lodged in the wall just oyer Bakers left shoulder. Baker in persuit fired a second shot at the retreating desperado ordering him to drop the pants. The rob- Der threw them down and escaped in the darkness. It was all done in a minute. Durham, Bakers partner came out of the room.
 They found the rober's punctured hat and Bakers pants with all the money amounting to some checks and S19.OO in curren- cy safe. The hat drab co1ored No. 7 had on it the penciled drawings of lone star, a pistol and a hunting knife. As the man had gone into a hay sky the burglar could not be recogni- zed. The officers have been not flied and every reasonable means taken by the people of Nutrioso to identity and overtake the out law.
