CONLAN HAD STRAIGHT TIPS
He Was Lucky in Getting or Easily
From a Serious Charge for HN
Mothers Sake.


Some very straight tips were handed
young John Conlan by Judge Boyle of
the police court this morning when he
appeared on a charge of robbery.
Conlan has been before the city's mag
istrate a number of times on petty Of
tense but this time he was on the carpet
for horse stealing. The victim of the
young mans act this time was none 9TH
er than Father Callahan of the Catholic
church.
Conlan drove the priests buggy horse
away from his stables about week ago
but was located the next morning and
landed in Jail. Since being locked up the
boy has become quite repentant and
seems to desire better life. Father Cal
lahan refused to prosecute the lad and
this morning he was taken before Judge
Boyle for dismissal.
The Judge informed the boy that be-
cause Of his aged mothers pleading and
the action of the priest in not caring to
send the boy to Jail it had been decided
to permit him to go for the present. at
least. The court told the lad that in
the event Of his appearing before the
bar Of justice again matters would go eA-
tremely hard with. Nov, my boy" said
Boyle, you have got to turn over a new
leaf and If you won't do it yourself I'll
do it for you. I believe you have good
mother and don't propose to see you
break her heart.

II have seen instances of deceit and

made me believe that In human nature
the Filipino is but little different from
the rest Of humanity. With the acquire
nient of that country come demands for
articles Of American manufacture. and
in the development Of country 50 diff
ferent to this systematic methods will be
required. That country offers great OPP
portunities to the young man who Is
technically educated or is q specialist in
some line. The government will uh-
doubtedly encourage the great seats of
learning in this country to instruct
young men in the Ilocanan. Tagalog or
Visayan dialects. A familiarity with
their language will give the foreigner
something in common with the native
and be of great advantage in giving US
an understanding of the natives needs:

BRIGHT IDEAS OF
MONTANA EDITORS
Montana Wool.

The wool clip Of Montana is the best
the state has shorn for long time. The
winter having been fine the fibre is long,
strong and free from weak places. and
owing to the cool summer f1eeces are
free from yolk and grease and are re-
markably dry and light. Not for a doz-
en- years has the Montana wool clip been
as desirable as it is this year. But just
what the market for wool will be seems
very uncertain. We are a little sur
prised that in face of the excellent tariff
Of II cents on the Montana grade of
wool that the price should go so very
low. Just now Boston quotations are
only little above those of London, and
the inactivity is greater on this side than
beyond the ocean. We cannot account
for this except to say protection in this
case does not protect. Why protection
on wool does not protect we cannot tell.
The cotton mixing theory is not good
since cotton is nearly IS high as wool.
But something keeps wool down, just
what the general public will probably
never know. OF one thing we are GER
tain, and that is that the price is not
down permanently. 1t will certainly go
up again. but when We cannot tell.
A tariff under some conditions would
certainly bolster up the wool industry
quite considerably. but We cannot tell
what the future has in store. The prob
abilities are that less desirable clip
will bring more money in very few
years, but We do not know this to be q
fact. If We did we could make an indie.
pendent fortune in a very short time. It
is possible that wool will go lower, but
we do not believe it will. It is our opin-
ion that prices and demands will soon
be better, but we do not counsel the
grower to speculate. The best policy for
the grower dependent upon his clip for
a living is to sell when his product is
ready for the market. This was Paris
Gibson's plan. He used to say that 1t
was not the price this year nor next,
but the average of ten years that made
the wool grower or broke him. and not
being able to guess the market the only
thing to do was to sell when You are
ready. Itsis certainly very disappoint-
ing that sch fine fleece as Montana has
this year should not be in better re-
quest. The wool is worth from cent
and a half to two cents more this year
than last and it is a great surprise that
it should not be more anxiously sought
Things we hope will be better in an
other week. The dry character of the
wool this year ought to make it in re-

Agricultural Exports.

SOutn America IS the oIlly SO1AlAAcAe
to which our agricultural exports show
a decline. The shipments to South
American countries during 1900 had a
value of only $s,452,ooO, as against SILL
2S6, 900 in 1896.
The most striking gain was in our ex-
ports to Asia. The value of the agricul-
tural produce sent to Asiatic countries
rose from 900 in 1896 to nearly $685.
900 in 1900. the latter amount far ex-
ceeding any previous record.
There was also an interesting gain in
our agricultural export trade with
Oceania our shipments to the various
islands comprised under that term
amounting in 1900 to $6,79s,ooo, as COM
pared with only $s,9S6oOO in 1896. The
figures returned for 1900 were the high
est ever recorded.
The principal part of our agricultural
exports during 1900, as in previous years,
found market in Europe. Our sales to
European countries for that year had an
aggregate value of $739, 100000. With the
exception of the phenomenal year 1896,
when they reached a value of $762, 00O,-
900, these figures are the largest on
record.
Cuba, Porto Rico, Hawaii and the Philip
pine islands in 1900 had an aggregate
value of over $2o,ooo.ooo, as compared
with only $6,2ee, 900 in 1896. The gain in
these exports during the past five years
exceeded 200 per cent.
Our agricultural exports to Africa, like
those to Asia and Oceania, reached in
1900 the highest value ever recorded. The
shipments to African countries in that
year were valued at 81, 100000, or Slight
ly more than double the value for 1896,
| which amounted to only $5,73500O.
Our agricultural exports to the United
Kingdom in 1900 were $4OO, 00O, 900, the
| largest on record, excepting those of the
$4s9, 900 900 was attained. To Germany
the exports for 1900 were $184. 900, COO
Compared with the shipments for 1896
five years ago. which were valued at less
than So. 1000, 900, they show an increase OF
nearly 100 per cent.
| After the United Kingdom and Ger
many, the principal foreign market fol
American farm produce in 1900 was the
Netherlands. to which country exports
valued at $52,0OO,O0O were sent. These
figures were exceeded only in 1899, ana
then by less than 100000. AS con.
trasted with the record for 1890. amount
ing to $2lOOo,o0o, they exhibit striking
gain.
France ranked fourth in Importance
and Belgium fifth, among our foreign
markets in 1900, the former country re-
ceiving agricultural exports to the valu,
of $45, 900, 900. and the latter to the valu
of $23.000,000 In comparison with tn
trade of 1896 our expectations to thes

The Wool Market.

One million three hundred and sixty
thousand pounds OF Oregon wool were
sold last week at prices ranging from
II 1-2 to IL 1-2 cents pound. With
the conditions constantly improving in
the eastern markets and a little better
grade Of wool there is every reason to
expect better prices for the Montana
clip-Milk River Eagle.
