been devoid of any incident worth re.
cording. The incessant rain and raw at
mosphere kept most people indoors,
aud only those compelled to be out were
to be seen on the streets. The river
front was very quiet. Nothing apart
from the regular river boats were arriv.
ing or departing. Buncbes OF steve
dores and rivermen shivered under
sheds or doorways and watched the
waters splash against the docks. Mud
and puddles OF water together with the
rain and cold east wind rendered out.
door operations extremely uncomfort-
able. But little in the way of local mat.
ter5 could be gathered in the Police
Court or Corporation Court Office.
Things were quiet around the depots,
all trains being about on time.

Montana sheepmen never had bet
ter prospect than at present" said Sena-.
tor S. S. Hobson. of Utica, Fergus
ers of the state at the Thornton this
morning. THE yield of wool has been
larger than expected, the loss of sheep
through the past winter has been
smaller than usual, the price is half
higher that it was expected to be, and
the feed is fine for another winter. The
sheepmen have partaken of the general
prosperity of the country under repub-
lican rule and have done better than
ever they did before in the history of
sheep raising.
sheep raising in the great west has
undergone great change within the
past few years. When wool was free.
or nearly SO, and the western shepherd
could get almost nothing for his fleeces,
he turned his attention to a sheep that
would combine a moderate wool product
with good-sized carcass that would
sell well for mutton. The stock had
formerly been Merino, the king of. the
short wool; but the breeding-in of the
Lincoln and other long Wool sheep,
| added much to the weight of the car
cass. though it detraeted somewhat
from the value Of the fleece. However,
the cross served its purpose as strong.

good mutton sheep in the days when
wool was low.
but now the pendulum has swung
backward. Wool is al a great premium.
and the merino. greasy-looking though
his fleece may appear, is the most valu-
able animal. HIS wool is much more
valuable than that of his long-coated

they made life burden to one coming
from country where you hardly ever
see a mosquito. If the proposed scheme
to oil tse waters and kill all the mosqui-
tees should prove practical, it would be
a blessing to the lake jewellers.
II find in looking over a number of
public libraries, in Chicago. Waukesha
and other places, that we do more
work with less help than any of them.
Butte has reason to be proud Of her pub
ic library, with the quarters it is in and
with the liberality of it's support. 1t is
patronized as well or better than any
other saw in towns of the same size.
II have no changes to recommend for
the near future, though there may be
some to work into gradually. We are
doing we'll, and the present library force
is working too hard for any great change
to be undertaken at present"
