eastern commission houses, when
there was a bull in wool, and some
sold ms high as 20 cents, while in the
rest OF the state the average did not
exceed III. cents n pound. In Fergus,
the banner wool prod ucing county
OF the state, the increase in woolpro-
duction is estimated at one pound a
head over previous years. The same
increase is recorded from the other
counties, and the fact IL generally
attributed to the iudlcious breeding
of the stock by sheepmen. Theintro-
duction Of machinery in shearing Is
also advanced as a reason for the
heavier wool clip ofthe state. While
machinery is in use only at points
near railway lines and towns, and no
statistical Information has been gath
cred on this point, the board IL not
in a position to verify the opinion OF
sheepmen who claim that the use oi
machinery IL responsible for the
marked increase in the production.

II might be well for our Legislators
to read over the state constitution be-
fore enacting laws. 1t appears the law
changing the time of paying the salar-
les Of district judges from quarterly to
monthly is in conflict with the consti-
tuition. which reads: THE justices of
the supreme court and the judges of the
district courts shall each be paid quar-
terly by the state" etc. Now the state
treasurer refuses to comply with the
new law and will pay salaries quarterly
as heretofore. Gov Toole also signed
the bill unmindful of the constitutional
provision.

J.. J.. Hill made Il flying trip from
Seattle TO st. Paul last week, covering
the distance In forty-five hours and
fifty minutes, or twenty hours quicker
than schedule time. The fastest time
was made between Cut Bank and Ilayre,
where u speed of e~ighty-four miles an

that fast time can be made over the

quires il. The time between st. Pau

The Banner group OF claims be-
longing to Jacob Harmon and the
Messsrs. Ackerly are prominently
mentioned among the future pro-
ducers OF the new Year section OF the
judith mountains. This group is
situated on the north slope Of the
Judith range about n mile east of
the New Year mine and comprises
six full claims, the principal n of
which Is the Banner. A well dt fined
and continuous ledge of low grade
n has been encountered on the Ban
ner which has been tapped at various
places along it's line for over one
thousand feet. The ore is the sedi-
mentary auriferous ore characteristic
of that region and is distinctly sus-
ceptible to the cyanide treatment.
The ledge occur along the lime and
porphyry contact and while no
great amount Of development has
been executed at any one point the
showings on the small amount done
are most encouraging to the owners.
Assays from the ledge vary fromfour
to fifteen dollars per ton, which
values are easily high enough to he
worked nj a profit by the cyanide
treatment.

Letter to G. p. Hazeltine,
Belfast, Moine.

Dear Sir: You own several houses, Your
reason for painting Devoe lead and zinc
should be several times as strong as the
man who owns but one
Lead and oil was good enough paint till
the merits of zinc were found out It was
profitable to paint lead and oil-it was then
but not now.
The addition of zinc to lead makes Devoe
lead and zinc last twice as long and cost no
more; costs less-a trifle less, not much.
Lead and oil is mixed by hand; Devoe lead
and zinc by machinery. Might as we'll
make ones shirts by hand as mix paints.
Say it costs 800 house to paint lead and
oil; and it lasts three years.
Say it costs the same for Devoe; which
lasts six years-it will last ten years, in IA
vorable conditions, unless you want to re-
paint to change the color.
The cost lead and oil about $50 year :;
Devoe $15-probably less
Yours truly,
