What AIIinntors Eat.

More than once curious things have
been found in the stomach OF a shark,
but never has such an extraordinary
collection been found as was discov-

This alligator was killed in the Su-

claws, two human finger nails and
three hoofs OF a donkey. TO one OF

sheep in southern Wyoming. and would
like to see them get from their wool
all the profit that there is.
II have been in Billings and Miles
City and have talked with several
prominent growers and business men,
all of whom are in favor of promoting
the establishn ent of a securing plant.
The conditions, think, are better for
such a plant in Big Timber than in
the other towns have visited. How
ever, as yet I am wholly undecided,
and shall visit other wool centers of
the state and ascertain the advantages
to be offered by each before reach a
conclusion. l am of the opinion, con-
sidering that the people of Montana
are not averse to progress, that the
wool men, when once they are brought
to know what benefits are actually 10
be derived from the securing of their
woods before marketing, will not be
slow in assisting in the establishment
and maintenance of such plants at
several different points in the state.'

TO SCOUR THEIR WOOL
fastener Shows How Montana
WOOI&rOWerS Would Profit
by Securing Staple Be-
fore Selling.

At present an eastern gentleman is
making a tour of the principal wool
centers of the state on an errand that
is likely to receive considerable atten-
ton from the sheepmen of the various
localities visited by him. His name is
F. H. Mckinney and he halls from
Aurora, Ills.
The object of his Investigations is to
ascertain the feasibility of erecting a
wool securing plant at some point in
Montana. He is the owner of several
of these institutions in Illinois and
much of the wool handled by him comes
from this state, Wyoming, Utah and
several others of the wool producing
states west of the Missouri. His idea
is to establish d like plant at some
central place in this state that would
accommodate a large number of wool
growers and scour their product before
It is sold to the eastern buyers, the
seller to send the wool direct to the
plant before offering it for sale.
Mr.. Mckinney was at Big Timber
few days ago and is said to have ex-
pressed himself as favorably impressed
business. To persons with whom he
talked there he said that nowithstand-
ing the higher freight rate on TIE
secured than on wool in the grease and
the added cost of securing, the differ
ence between the price he would re-
ceive for the clean wool and that not
cleaned would more than compensate
the seller for the apparent discrepancy.
The difference in weight alone would
more than offset the difference in
freight rates. The much higher prices
which the secured article would bring
| in the eastern markets would enable
| the buyers OH the local market to pay
| from 81 to AZ cents a pound, or an aver
! age of SO Ger is, almost three times the
average price paid for wool in the
grease. Mr.. Mckinney figured that,
! taking the average prices as a basis
for his calculations, the producer would
receive Sl.S7 per 100 pounds more for
his wool than he now is getting.
Former Sheepman
| While at Big Timber Mr.. Mckinney
is credited with having made the fol-
lowing statement:
81 have the best interests of the
sheepmen at heart, because | was my
self at one time largely interested in
