WI esday, April 3.

A special message was read in both
branches of the general assembly from
Gov. Davis relative to the fee allowed
by the state capital commissioners to
Architect George Mann. In the mes
sage the governor incorporates copies
of the majority and minority reports
of the commission on the subject, and
declares that the claim allowed Mr..
Mann, amounting to about $4,000, in
his opinion, is unjust and extravagant,
and urges that some less expensive
plan be adopted, and that the contract
with the architect be cancelled.
In the senate, beyond discussion of
amendments and second reading of

transacted.

WILLMAR MARKETS
WHEAT.

Wheat has remained at 81 cents all
week. Supply has averaged between
1000 and 1000 bushels per day. Lo-
cal buyers as we'll as farmers are get
ting more and more disguised with the
Minneapolis inspection, on account of
the heavy docka ge. The wheat is all
of good quality though slightly under
weight. There is very little foul seed.
OF shrunken kernels, and the millers
get that wheat for nothing, the farmer
paying the freight. The TRIB e
some time ago advised the farmers to
fan their wheat so as to get this small
grain for feed. At that time some of
the elevator men thought this would
be unnecessary as they did not believe
there would be any dockage worth
mentioning on that account; but they
have found that there is q different
inspection system this year.
LIVE STOCK.
There is little activity in the live
steadiness of city markets. The prices
$3.50 for choice steers down to 1925
for Gamers. There are no choice
steers obtainable in tn vicinity. The
ordinary steers taken from the pas
lures will bring between 2 and 3 cents
a pound in the cities. At that rate 1t
is almost impossible to buy steers here
at price that will leave any margin
for the buyer.
Hogs have taken slump this week,
dropping from s. 40 to $500. The
heavy marketing during the past two
weeks was the cause of this depression,
which may be only temporary.

Former Expects Latter to Live Up to It's
Agreement.

The county commissioners met in
special session yesterday forenoon for
the purpose of considering the resolu-
tion adopted by the city council rela-
tive to the quarantining and caring for
smallpox patients, asking the county
to bear the cost of such in the city.
The commissioners referred back to
the JOINT action of the city and county
in December, 1898, in the matter Of
building the pesthouse and caring for
smallpox patients, and then instructed
the county clerk to notify the city
council that the county expected the
city to live up to it's agreement of that
time.
The clerk was further instructed to
notify the physician in charge of the
pest house to keep an accurate account
of all inmates who are city. patients,
SO that a bill may be rendered the city
for it's proportion of the expense.

were President W. S. Mellen and Vice
President J. M. Hannnford of st.

Supt. H. J. Horn and Division
Freight Agent Blakeley were at Red
Lodge Saturday, coming back to Bill
ings that night. When the Rocky
Fork Coal company makes it's new
improvements greatly increasing Its
production, it will be necessary for
the railroad to also increase it's facili-
ties for handling the output.
The opening of new veins and the
increasing OF the output Of Carbon
county's coal fields is adding greater
work to the freight departments Of the
Northern Pacific, which finds it neces-
sary to run several coal trains each
day in addition to its regular mixed
trains.
The Northern Pacific is doing some
extensive work near Dewey, east Of
Billings, by cutting down the bluffs
and improving the track. One hun
dred and fifty men are engaged at that
point, and orders have been received
here to secure more.
Despite the fact that business in
nearly all lines is rather quite at this
time of the year it is just the opposite
with the railroads, whose passenger
and freight traffic is heavy.
All the passenger trains are once
more running on time, since the cold
weather abated. The Northern Pa
cific's yesterday were right on the dot.
About Is cars Of stock cattle were
received here yesterday for points in
Carbon and Gallatin counties. The
