THEY NOW KNOW BETTER,
"eoAoSists Have OF Late Dss@@vAad
the OLD Notion About @aa.
eial Movements. a..

Anew years ago geologists confident
~ asserted that at one period of the
worlds history great ice cap came
moving down from the polar regions
and swept over North America as far
s,rth as latitude 3S, carrying with it
& ea bowlders--which lie about on
s,9res and hilltops to this day to
prove tt-and scratching the record Of
rs movement upon cliffs and lodges.
l,,H this sse cap kindly melted and
q %. ..peared. This was taught in the
s. lo0ls, and to doubt it was heresy;
tor science, when it takes up with a
'aScf ~, is dog1natic. and all geologists
said; BEHOLD, how wonderful in our
knowledge; what secrets we can
wrest from tbs past!" After awhile
science rather gave up the polar ice
car theory and laId down a new dog
nta'--'hat of single continental ice
Sav,4 for North America
Tho recent Investigations Of officers
of the. Can, .lian geological survey
prove that the scientists evolved their
glacial theory out of vivid imagina-
tion. 1t has been found that in
northern Alaska there is no evidence
that that part of the country was
ever covered by glacier--in fact,
conclusive evidence exists that it was
not. At the mooth OF the Mckenzie
river is plenty of evidence on glacial
action. and also that the glacier
which left it's records came FROM the
s"c.h On tfe western SHORES Of Hud-
So oay ere marks of glacier which
came from the west, and on the east
ern shores Of one which came from
the east. East Of the Canadian Rock
les is n long belt which shows no evil
dence OF ever having been exposed 10
| glacial action.
These and similar discoveries have
put the gec'orists "all at sea-" ard
they now haze evolved new theory
regarding the glacial period. 1t is
that one big glacier did not at one
time cover all the North American
continent, but that several glaciers,
moving at different times from di'-
terent oenters OF distribution, made
their way in different directions and
left the glacial records which are now
found. They have even given names
to these glaciers, such as the Cor
dilleran glacier" the "Labrndorian
glacier" and the "Iieewatin g acer."
Prof Lawson, Of the University OF Cab
ifornia, in writing on the subject in
the international Monthly, says that
as yet it cannot be said that the sue
cession OF these great glaciers in time
has been established well enough to
warrant an unqualified acceptance,
but he seems to have little hesitation
in accepting the theory Of different
glaciers moving from different points

Par. Of the Yaquis Have Been Removed

Among the recent arrivals in FL
Paso from Sonora, Mex, is H F..
Platt, who has spent the last SIX
months prospecting and hunting in
the Sierra Madres. Mr.. Platts
trip extended as far south as Qua
dalupe, which town is about forty
miles from the main branch of the
Yaqui river. During his sojourn
in Mexico, Mr.. Platt stayed for a
period among the Yaqui Indians,
whose guerrilla warfare with the
government troops has attracted
national attention.
~ have just come from the va
qui settlements along the lower
Yaqui," said Mr.. Platt. "In my
opinion they are not nearly as
barbaric and uncivilized as gener-
al report would lead a stranger to
believe. In their warfare they
are prompted by the conviction
that they have been unjustly treat
ed, and that by taking up arms
they are protecting their rights.
As q result ofthe recent campaign
the majority of the tribe have made
DO provisions for the winter
months, and many of them are in a
destitute condition. 1t is no ex.
aggeration to say that they are
really on the verge of starvation.
The government has removed part
of the Yaquis to other localities
where it is considered that they
can be more easily controlled. A

were captured have been shot

to certain extent the Yaquis are
a nomadic tribe, still in small
way they are engaged in stock
raising and agricultural pursuits,
Many of them are employed in the
mines. Consequently, when they
go on the warpath their families
suffer.

marked progress in civilization"

will not be retained by the prince of

ing that has been stirred up against
American jockeys here by some of the
swells and sporting papers is the
worst I ever knew. The prince could
not stand against it, / suppose. and
I say nothing against him"

Marsh, the prince of Wales trainer,
furnished information before it was
communicated to Sloan. and the
prince, it is said, has rebuked him for
it. Despite Sloan's confidence in him
self, this canceling of the prince OF

worst blow he has received, as other
owners will surely follow suit.

A call has been issued by Hon. 7.
G. Power, chairman OF the state board

of the owners OF sheep in northern
Montana, 10 be held In Great Falls
Monday, July 22nd. All sheepmen Of
Cascade, Choteau, Fergus, Teton.
Valley and Meagher counties, as well
as those Of Lewis aud Clarke county
who market their wool in this city,
are invited TO attend, and II is also
expected that representatives of rail-
way companies and eastern wool
houses will he present.
After the Great Falls meeting n
similar meeting will be held at Bill-
ings for the shcepmcn ofthat portion
OF the state. and Il is expected that
the two meetings will result in the
organization Of n state association
To advance the interests Of all Mon

The movement to this end was in
auguratpd the first ui last month, ut
the annual meeting, held nj Chinook,
Of the North Chuteau County Wool

Upon his return TO his home SEN
atur Gibson reitcrutes the statement
made 10y him in letter To the Trib-
une during his absence, that rail-
road connecting Great Falls with
Billings md the Burlington railroad
will be built. Further than that, the
senator predicts that il will be at
least started before the end Of the

While senator Gibson does not tell
the Tribune so, It can bc conjectured
that his authority is no less II person
than President Hill of the Great Nor
thcrn, who as well practically die
tatcs the policies oil the Northern Pa
ciiic and the Burlington.

There are other local conditions
that invite the construction of the
road In question. Fergus county Is
one oi the wcalthiest counties IN the
state. Thcrclsn no richer agricultural
cor stock county, and It's mines are
developing rapidly. There Is at pres
ent no railroad in the county. One

resources. Their development would

PRICES WILL RAISE.
Wool Suppl, Much Shorter This Year
Prices Better as Season advances.

The ARGrs il in receipt of n general
communication from Justice, Bate
man x Co., who are the owners Of q
large wool commission house In Phil
adelphia, in which they offer Montana
woolgrOwers llbcralt ltcrms In advance
on good clips and advise them
against selling at the present low
quotations. They advise woolgrow-
ers to hold their clips. as there are
strong indications Of n raise in prices,
and support their statement by say
ing:
"Somc dealers seem anxious to buy
sound staple clips atpriccs iullycqual
to those which the same dealers have
been freely accepting during the past
three or four months for old woods,
which, on account Oi their notify
condition, Were forced To sale at
time when the market was at It's
lowest point for years.
"The only conclusion that cau he
deduced from this is that there II Il
confident expectation OF being able
To- realize at least jOcents per secured
pound for the wool which il now be-
Ing bought in Montana. The low
prices prevailing In the country In
comparison with previous years have
led eastern buyers to believe that be-
fore the end Of the year there will be
an opportunity for profit that will
restore ut least a portion of the heavy
losses made during 1900"
They show very exhaustive and
complete table which estimates the
wool supply for the past five years
and how much was carried over, and
show that at the end of the present
year there will be on hand a total es-
timated supply Of only 100000, 900
pounds, and that In 1897 when the
supply was 79i 100000 pounds wool
sold at 60 cents secured. In 1889,
with n supply Of 81, 9,oOO,OoO pounds.
the same grade OF wool sold for 81

The above statements hardly need
an explanation. for this years supply
being short, prices will naturally

the notice Of the manufacturers. The
