Washington, June 6.-The report
was widely circulated about the house
of representatives today that the IT.
rigation bill would be considered i'm
mediately after the vote on the IN
archy bill, and ahead of the Pacific
cabel bill instead of after it, as
originally planned. A member of the
rules committee, however, stated that
nc such arrangement had been made,
and that the irrigation bill would fol-
low the cable bill.
The irrigation bill cannot come up
now before Wednesday or Thursday
of next week. because Of the unexpect-
eddy long debate on the anarchy bill.

REACHING TO TAKE LAuRELs
FROM BILLINGS.
ALLY GIVES AID
Missouri River Town Is Aspiring to
Become States Greatest
Wool Market.

every pound of wool grown along
the line of the Great Northern in Mon
tana this season is not baled and sold
at Great Falls it will not be the fault
of the railroad company. A new tarif1
has been issued by the company by
which unbaled wool may be shipped
from any point in the state or its line
to Great Falls and there baled and
forwarded to Boston at q rate no high,
er than that from the initial place OF
shipment. In doing this the railroad
claims it is aiming to give better pro.
lection to the shippers from the small
er towns on it's road. Heretofore none
of the principal buyers would visit
the small places and the growers were
left at the mercy Of a few subordinate
buyers, who travelled along the line
and picked up such clips as they could
and practically at their own figures be-
cause of the absence of competition.
The only competitive markets on the
road have been Great Falls and Fort
Benton. Even the latter place was a
poor one, comparatively, for the pro-
ducers, as last year only four buyers
were stationed there.
It is estimated that the new arrange
ment will result in swelling the re.
ceipts at Great Falls by no less than
5000, 900 pounds. This estimate in
cludes the anticipated increase in the
receipts Of wool directly tributary to
Great Falls. Not many sheep have
been shipped out of that territory,
while there has been a large increase,
it is claimed. Taking the two togeth.
er, the Great Falls people estimate
that the total shipments from their
town will aggregate n less than 15,,
700, 900 pounds for the season.
In anticipation of the increased re
ceipts the railroad company is install:
ling new baling machinery of the lat.
est and most approved pattern. Elec.
tricity is to be the motive power, and
the capacity of the new baler is ex:
pected to approximate 100000 pounds
daily. The old n could handle only
1850 pounds.
To give an idea of the great reduc-
ton made by the new local tariff it is
necessary to mention only a few
points. Under the old schedule the
rate from Culbertson to Great Falls
was $3.50 per hundred. The new is
80 cents. The Glasgow rate was $1.25;
now it is 30 cents. Some places are
given a rate as low as S cents.
The new schedule applies only to
lots of no less than 10000 pounds.

MAKING II STRONGER.
Captain shuster Strengthens Weak
Points In HE Team.

IVstseV tU It's ] o0Ms
Ever since his assumption OF the
position, Captain Shuster OF the local
aggregation Of ball tossers has been
at work to strengthen the team and
fit It for coping with any combination
against which 1t may have to 90 dur
ing the season. He has succeeded SO
we'll that he feels confident he has as
good a collection Of semi-profession.
ais as have aver been gotten together
anywhere.
This morning the team was still
further improved by the arrival Of
Sam Freeman, who will help Stout to
hold them al they pass over the plate.
The two form q great pair Of catchers
and that end Of the nine should now
be equal to any. Freeman has been
catching for Missoulat and is said to
be q ball player, no matter where he
may be put.
Two Of the men who have been play
ing with Shuster at Salt Lake, Kelly
and Dyer are expected to arrive to-
morrow morning and to take part in
the game with Livingston. They were
favorites of the Mormons and have
the reputation Of being about as good
as the next n When Shuster
wrote to them that they were wanted
here they Immediately handed in their
designations and were released.
