Rain Does Serious Damage on Yellow
stone Division.

stone Division.
From Sundays Daily Gazette.
The trouble by washouts the North
ern Pacific sustained on the Yellow
stone division east of Miles City,
Thursday, is more serious than at
first reported. The rain in Custer
and Dawson counties bordered on a
cloudburst, resulting in several
bridges being washed out together
with about 1000 feet of track about
IA miles east Of Miles City. 1t was
thought Friday that the damage
would be repaired by that night, but
trains passing through this city that
day were tied up on this side of the
washout, when passengers and bag
gage we're transferred. All the west
bound trains we're delayed about IL
hours.
Yesterdays eastbound passenger
was tied up in this city owing to the
fact that it was no longer possible
to transfer and that Miles City was
unable to care for the people. Late
last night Agent Kennedy. received
information, which led him to believe
that the through traffic would be re
sumed some time during the night
However, owing to the wish of some
of the passengers, the Northern Pa
l.cific posted a bulletin granting then
permission to exchange their tickets
for passage over the Burlington tt
Chicago.

Geo. Damon Overcome BY Heat-Hot.
test Day on Record.
From Sundays Daily Gazette.
Yesterday was the hottest day re-
corded so far this year, the govern
ment thermometer registering close
to 1O2 degrees at $50 p. III. More
people complained of the heat than
at any former Ntime. This was prob
ably owing to 3he extreme heat CON-
ing right after the cool spell.
Geo. Damon a paper hanger. who
arrived in hefcity only recently from
Butte, suffered s<sun stroke during
the afternoon. He had not been feel
ing well during the morning, but was
able to be about. While walking
along Twenty-seventh street he was
rec by heat and fell to the
sidewalk as he neared the Eugene
restaurant. He was Immediately con
veyed to his room in the lodging
house above the restaurant and a
physician summoned. He was soon
resuscitated and the doctor thinks he
is out of all danger.

CHANGE IN FREE DELIVERY.
Carriers Must Not Work Over Eight
Hours.

HOURS.
Uncle Sam has inaugurated an
other scheme relative to his free mail
delivery in cities. Now no mail car
rier is to work more than eight hours
each dayaand no less. If at the ex-
piration of his time mail remains un-
delivered on his route, he will return
it ITO the Office and the distribution
will be continued by a substitute. 1t
is said that a suit brought by car
riers for overtime since the forty
eight hour"t law went into effect was
the leading cause of the change. I'm
der the former system it was found
that some carriers would soldier
stringing an eight-hour delivery oyer
nine hours, thus covering their week
ly time in five days, obtaining a holt
day on the sixth day and requiring
the government to hire a substitute
to finish out the week.
The change|probably e an in
crease in the force for this city. For
the past three months Postmaster
Babcock has been trying to get the
department to allow him an addition
al carrier. but so far nothing has
been done fn-the matter. There is
more territory and more mail than
the two carriers cal care for within
the eight-hours time and it will ne
cessitate the adding Of another car
rier. Then in all probability the
routes will be increased. The city
is continually growing and there are
more people asking for the benefits
of the delivery system.

Better than IL cents was paid yes
terday for a clip, that Of F. L. Sum-
mers. . There were about 10000
pounds in the clip. In the sample
bags there were two bags that show
ed up damp, and it is believed that
had it not been for his that the grow
er would have gotten as good as 10
cents. Mr.. Summers said that he
did not believe that any more of the
wool was in this condition, giving as
his a that the two bags we're
among the last sheared during a
rainy spell. The wool was sheared
form yearlings and was a very desir-
able clip as attested by the number
of bids offered in comparison on other
clips. Seven buyers were very anx-
ious to get it. The highest bidder
was Nicholas, Dupee & Co., who paid
1878 cents.
Other clips sold we're: R. L. Davis,

| clip was put up within the past three
Tdays. On previous occasions only
two bids were submitted.
The clip of Thos. G. Keithley,
amounting to 10000 pounds was offer
err. The highest bid was 11A cents,
by Yegen Bros, but the grower re-
fused to sell, as he believed the wool
should bring a better price.

From Sundays Daily Gazette.

The wool market displayed more
activity yesterday than it has at>any
previous time this season, and before
the day came to a close more wool
was disposed Of than on any other
one day. But it was very evident
that the growers are not falling over
themselves to sell, for several large
producers who were in the city made
up their minds that they would hold
off for a week longer at least. The
top price for the season was also
thought should have been paid for
the clip. A clip of wyoming was
sold at, IL cents, and it is said the
grower himself was surprised at the
price, it being a little higher than
what he anticipated.
The representative of Justice, Bate
man & Co. was offering sealed bids
on the clips yesterday, which is evi,
dece that the house is out for wool
on a staight buying basis. This came
a. a surprise to many of the growers,
as they were that the firm
was in the market other than for
consignments. The firm bought wool
outright in Wyoming and is following
it up in Montana.
Two new buyers, Dan Dewey, Jr.,
Of Dewey, Gould & Co. and Geo.

pines Passes Through Billings.

From sunday S Daily Gazette.
Captain George P. Ahern of the
Ninth infantry, superintendent of the
bureau of forestry Of the Philippine
Stands, was in the city yesterday,
accompanied by his wife. The cap
tain, who was mastering in officer
of Troop M of this city in May 1899.
holding the chair of forestry at the.
Montana agricultural college at Roze-
man at the time, is en- route east on
a two months leave of absence on
account Of sickness.
In his two years stay in the Phil
ippines the captain has been aEAe to
learn much about the forestry of that
! section. He speaks very entertainly
of the woods and thinks that lpl-
mense wealth lies in the forests. He
says his bureau has now 665 varieties
of native woods listed and every one
of them is of value in the various in
dustries. Each month more varieties
are added and he believes the forest
growth of the islands will show a
total of nearly 1000 species of trees,
many of which will be Of service in
the arts and sciences.
Captain Ahern has with him over
, 100 varieties Of fine hard woods,
which he is taking with a view to
exhibiting them at the Pan-Ameri-
can exposition and at the great furni-
ture exposition at Grand Rapids.

From Saturdays Daily Gazette.
The wool market, which has been
a dead issue for the past week, liven-
ed up some. yesterday and before the
day came to a close nearly as much
was sold as had been sold since the
market first opened, June 26. Then,
too, the price was better than any
that has yet been paid.
There are now about IL represent
atives of eastern houses in the city,
but all did not show their hands yes
terday. One thing that has made
the growers a little suspicious is the
fact that on three of the clips offered
only four bidders were represented.
They believe that the buyers have
pooled for a purpose and if such is
found to be the case it may mean
that the growers will be more reluc-
tant to put UP their clips.
Yegen Bros. have entered the field
in search of clips, making their first
bids yesterday through Mr.. Akeroyd,
who came from the east some months
ago.. The buyers were not inclined
to permit Mr.. Akeroyd to bid, under
penalty of refusing to submit bids if
the growers accept any from him.
They believed that he was buying
wool ION the side,' j. e., without COM
petition. They did not care to go up
against any such proposition. When
once they learned that such was Ut
the case, they withdrew their objec-
tons and permitted the growers to
take his bids.
A. w. Elliott, n Of the best
known buyers who makes this mar
ket, arrived yesterday and will re
main here for the season. He is still
with jeremiah Williams & Co. He
was one of the heaviest buyers of
Montana woods last season., and al.

There are but very few growers in
the city and it is not thought among
the local men that much will be done
for a week. Much Of the wool that is
here is in incomplete clips. Many Of
the heaviest producers Of this sec
ton have not began shearing yet, and
this means that the season will bt
delayed more than in years.
The buyers are not yet following

short time indications have appeared

short time indications have appeared
of a movement to control this years
clip Of Montana wool, and that the
only conclusion that al be deduced
from the actions Of certain people
is that there is a confident expecta-
ton Of being able to realize at least
so cents a pound secured for the wool
which is now bought in Montana.
The commission firm advises the
woolgrowers not to sell their wool,
if it is sound, for less than a basis
Of so cents secured in that market
for the fine grade.
A table is given to show that the
total estimated supply on hand by
the end of the present year will be
only AGO. 600, 900 pounds and wool
was practically cornered. In De-
cember, 1899, the market was again
cornered with a supply of $50, 0OO,O 900
pounds and the same wool brought
IS cents.
The letter says that many manu-
facturers hold exaggerated ideas of
the present wool supply, some being
under the impression that there is
more wool on hand unused than in
1897. For the last Is months the
practice Of buyers has been to take
supplies on the "hand to mouth" prin-
ciple, leaving the bulk of the wool to
be carried by the wners until actu
ally required for use in the mills.
Owing to the speculative demand
in December, 1897, and again in De
cember, 1899, wool appeared to be
scarce, but an examination Of the es-
timated supply at the end of the pres
ent year shows that, with the neces-
sary confidence in prices, it could be
much more easily cornered than it
was then, when the supply was SO
much larger. From the eagerness
to secure this years Montana clip as
fast as it is shorn, it is evident that
those who are buying believe that, in
view of the reduced supply, prices
can be controlled more effectually
than at any previous time.

Montana Wool Sixteen Cents.

Charles Mcdonnell of the firm of
Mcdonnell & Weary, the American
Forks wool growers, was a visitor
the fore part of last week, says the
Big Timber Pioneer. Last year the
firm sent their clip Of $4,000 through
Thos. Riley to John T. Lodge Of Bos-
ton, and it was sold June 6 for 16
cents per pound, or about 1879 cents
here. Mr.. Mcdonnell says their last
years wool was only a fair quality
and that this years clip should be
at least two cents better than last
years, taking the market rs it stands
today. He says the wool this year
will average eight pounds to the
fleece, and is better and longer staple
and is SO free from grease and dirt
that it is equal to cou%rse-scoured
wool.
