Cardinal Gotti Named For Most Tm-
 portant Place.
 ROME, July 3O.-C Cardinal Gotti, pre- feet of the Sacred Congregation of Bishops and Regulars and of Regular Discipline, has been appointed by Pope Leo prefect of the propaganda to sue ceed the late Cardinal Ledochowski. Cardinal Agliardi was appointed pre- feet of the Economy of the Congrega- tion of the Propaganda in place of Cardinal Vincent Vannutelli.
 Cardinal Vannutelli will replace Car dinal Gotti as prefect of the Sacred Congregation of Bishops and Regulars and of Regular Discipline.
 The selection of Cardinal Gotti to succeed the late Cardinal Ledochowski in the most important post in the gift of the pope is universally regarded as indicating the pontiff's personal wishes as to the personality of his successor. Cardinal Gotti has long been consid- cred the most likely of the cardinals for succession to the papa1 throne.

Cont i'm the United stafe.

A paper read before the American Medical association by Dr. Thomas E. Butcher, of Baltimore, is summarized as follows: Gout in the United States is undoubtedly more common than Is generally supposed. Out of 13,4oo medical cases admitted to Dr. Osler.s medical wards in the Johns Hopkins hospital during a period of 13 years there were 35 gout cases, or O.24 per cent. of the total number of cases. For tlie same number of years at St. Bar- tholomew's hospital there were 116 gout cases out of total of 31, 100 med- ical admissions, or 0.37 per cent. of the cases. Thus among hospital patients gout is only about one-third more ire quent in London than in Baltimore All the 36 cases were white males. The largest number of cases occurred in the fifth decade. Twenty-seven of the patients were native-born Americans. The majority of the cases appeared to have earned rather than to have ac- quired their gout. Alcohol and lead seemed to be the most potent predis- posing etiological factor.-Medicai Record

Gas struck In Western New York.

GENEVA, N. Y, July BOA gas gusher has been struck in the town of Gorham, few miles west of this city at the Johnson we'll by the Ontario Prospecting company. The new we'll which is only about GOO feet deep furnishes steady flow of about sixty pounds pressure. It is believed that there is gas enough to supply this city with heat and light and possibly all the important villages of the county Small wells of light pressure have been found in this section before, but never in paying quantities, though in the vicinity of Nashville there has been a natural gas supply for some time which has furnished heat and light for the place.

NAVIGABLE STREAMS.
supremeaCour Defines What Streams
Are NavigabIe.

In a recent decision the supreme
court of the United States says that
any stream in which a log may be
foated is a navigable stream, within
the meaning of the law, and cannot be
INSTRUCTED by a dam or boom unless
authorized by government consent.
The decision, part of which is CIV
'en below, is of general interest to
Montana lumber men and will be far
reaching in it's effect:
CHOSE rivers must be regarded as
public navigable rivers in law which
are navigable in fact, and they are
navigahle in fact when they are used,
in their ordinary condition, as high
ways for commerce, over which trade
and travel are or may be conducted
in the customary modes Of trade and
travel on water. The transportation
of logs in booms or RATS, and even
the running Of logs, is a recognized
method of navigation, and if the
stream is susceptible of being used
in the ordinary condition for COM
merce of this character, it would fall
within the purview of the definition
as quoted above"

Territories Active.
Territory woods are in continued
steady demand and another large
weeks business has been put through,
the worsted mills taking on some
large lines, the Philadelphia mills be-
ing again represented among the pur-
chasers, as well as a number of the
smaller mills. The combine has not
as yet operated to any noticeable
extent, but it would not be surprising
if they operated some soon. Woods
have sold at prices ranging from 15
cents to 20 cents. The former for
woods containing burrs, spear grass,
etc.,of which more than the usual
quantity is found this year in some of
the later shorn woods. Good graded
staple woods have sold at Is to 20
cents, half-blood costing As and SO
cents; clean and fine, So and "a cents.
Some of the choicest fine staple woods
are claimed to have sold at a price
which mean a clean cost of 81 cents.
Three-eights blood staple woods have
sold at As and 46 cents, clean. Orig
inal clips have sold at II and 10 cents.
Wyoming woods are we'll cleaned up.
There is a good demand for best class
of medium Idahos at II cents and
from that quotation prices run down
to 14A and Is cents for heavy woods.
The woods cost around Al and AZ
cents clean, the latter for a good high
quarter-blood. The lower woods cost
SO and 3S cents.
A better inquiry has prevailed for
Utahs, and we note sale of 100000
pounds of fine and medium Utah at
1914 cents, costing 4S cents clean.
Low sorts of secured wool have sold
at 3S cents. Among other sales Of the
week was n of 10000 pounds of
quarter and ~three-eights blood, strict
ly staple, Montana at 1917 cents; the
wool, it is claimed, will shrink about
60 per cent. One local house is re-
ported to have bought quite freely of
territories in Chicago and st. Louis,
including some old woods which have
been there for some time, taking about
one and one-half million pounds.
Average prices for territorial woods
here are: Fine medium clothing, AZ
and 40 cents; fine clothing, so and
50 cents; choicest fine, 50 and SO
cents; fine staple, So and IS cents;
medium, Al and IS cents, according
to staple.
