New York. Feb. 20.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
"Wintry weather has retarded but not
checked spring jobbing trade, which,
despite drawbacks, is still far in adj
vance of a wear ago. Retail business has
been more noticeabIy affected and buy
ing has been lessened temporarily. This
has also further accumulated the veXed
transportation problem. The favorable
side of the weather situation is unquea-
tiOnably the heavy snow, which has
covered the entire surplus producing
winter wheat belt, putting that plant
temporarily at least, beyond danger from
seasonal changed. Other developments
of the week nave been mostly favorable.
The price situation, indeed, taken as q
whole, is a remarkable one. Country
produce, particularly butter and eggs, has
displayed exceptional strength, while the
great majority of staples retain all their
old steadiness except where further ad-
vances arc noted, as in the case of cot
ton goods, which are very strong at the
highest prices in years. Collections are
rather better as a whole, ranging from
fair to good the country over. Industry
is active, limited only by transportation
facilities.
Cotton reached and passed ten cents
this week, heavy speculative buying be-
ing reported in New York. New Orleans
and Liverpool. While this has been
largely manipulative, additional strength
was given by the reduced movement of
the crop, claimed to be due to bad
weather. Over and beyond all, however,
was the strength impaired by the active
demand for finished products reported, ii
being a sellers market for nearly all
classes of cotton goods. The advance
price of cotton yarns is reported to have
discouraged business, but manufacturer
offering to buy have done a fair business

1t is fortunate for Judge Gregory
that he presides over a court at AL
bany instead of Butte. His refusal
to grant naturalization to men who
are unable to speak the English Ian
guage sufficiently to make themselves
understood would destroy whatever
popularity he might have had with
the shift bosses and smelter foremen.
No doubt many will agree with his
honor that a man who has been in
the country five years and is unable
to talk IL language is not fit to be
admitted to citizenship, but for all
that he would be doubtful of re-elec-
ton were he occupying the bench in
the greatest mining camp On earth"
Inability to speak or read the language
OF the country is sometimes one OF
the most valuable assets a man can
have there.

A CAVE FULL CT ICE FOUND
Enough TO supply u Big City For u
Whole Simmer.

Harrison Martin. a carpenter Of
Richmond, Va, has discovered q cave
in Pocahontas county containing an
inexhaustible supply of ice, says the
New York World. BY what strange
freak of nature the ice was formed
in the cave is not yet explained. Mar
tin has built a passageway from the
mouth of the cave. which is high On
the side Of a rugged hill, and is mar
keting the ice owe many miles of ter
ritory.
Martin was prospecting about in an
aimless way when he saw the hole in
the side of the hill. The opening in.
terested him so that he decided to in
vestigate. He let himself down to it
by Il rope from some trees above, and
on entering was astonisiicd to find
himself in Il vast hall piled high with
irregular blocks of ice. The ice pile
extended as far rs he could see. and
is sufficient for the needs of a big city
for Il whole srmiaer.

II DIFFERENCE.

Minneapolis Journal: We shall
never see the last of the city journal
list who has fun with the innocent
items that chronicle the little local
doings of the countryside. To him
there seems to be something infinitely
funny about such items as these:
Frank Hawkes. is putting a new
roof ON his barn"
Jim Smith of Stony Run was a
caller at this Office Tuesday. He re-
ports a good potato crop"
Its a boy-Joe Smith is buying
the cigars"
ALLEN Jones Us putting a new
picket fence around his garden"
"Tom Pardee went to Minneapolis
Monday
Frank Brooks new tells fish
stories. Last S~un-Monday he caught
a ten-pound bullhead in Mud lake."
"There ought to be a crosswalk in
front of the Emporium"
"No. 4 on the Milwaukee was two
hours late last Monday"
Crank Pike, our popular operator,
is taking a vacation this week"
Such items can be matched on the
society page of every city paper,
though the form may be a little diff
ferent and the baby pleasantly is ex-
cluded from it.
More than that, some of the big
dailies spend hard money for cable
tolls and correspondents to have just
such stuff telegraphed from Europe.
=, Here are some of the cable Items
from London in this weeks Chicago
Sunday Tribune:
THE report published earlier in the
week that Jack, the kings fa.orite
: Irish terrier, was dead. which was
later contradicted, is true, after all.
He was first reported as having come
to an untimely end by eating rat poi
son, but the truth appears to Le was
choked while feeding"
"Mr. and Mrs. Ogilvy Haig have
left London on an automobile tour oil
different parts of England"
Lady Essex was yesterday driving
in an automobile made after the fash
ion of a victoria with a hood"
Mrs. Ronalds starts tomorrow for
IIomburg, where she will stop with
Mr.. and Mrs. Lorillard Ronalds."
THE duke and duchess of Manches
ter are in Ireland"
Mrs. l.. Newhouse, who is still a
Claridges, goes shortly on a visit tc
Mrs. Charles Wilson at Worter Pri
oery, Yorkshire"
This stuff is absolutely without jus
%tification. Not l per CEN of the Chi
cago Tribune's readers care a '.cuss'
about what these dukes and duch
esses and gilded loafers without it'll
are doing in Homburg and Londol
and Trouville, but the readers of thu
local paper are all interested in tina
g new barn roof, that new fence, tina
new baby and all the rest.

One Prisoner an lndian-Is Believed
to Have Been Seeking
Revenge.

Helena, Aug. 11.-Jose Chavey,
alias Joseph Jarves, who is a Mexican
Indian, and William Stadtz, are under
arrest and confined in the Helena Jail
suspected Of having been implicated
in the dynamiting of the Northern
Pacific railroad bridge near Living
ston August 2 and Of the attempt to
wreck a w~estbound Northern Pacific
freight train one mile west of Boze-
man two days later
Stadtz was arrested "wednesday
night by Sergeant Harry Hay while he
was trying to dispose of a Winchester
rifle. AT the police station he stated
that the gun belonged to an Indian
who had requested him to dispose
of it. He stated that the Indian was
in the Northern Pacific yards and
officials we're Immediately dispatched
there. Thursday Jarves was arrested.
At the same time and in close prox-
unity to the Indian were discovered
two parcels, one covered with a tar
paulin, the other encased in a gunny-
sack. In either package were found
| pieces of fuse and caps such as are
used by miners in igniting charges of
dynamite.
The fact that the articles found in
the two packages were similar to
those found near the scene of the
dynamite outrage near Bozeman
strengthens the belief of the officials
that the two men know something
of the two occurrences on the North
ern Pacific.
Close Watch Kept.
AS soon as the news of the attempt
ed dynamitfng of the bridge near
Livingston reached Helena Chief of
Police Travis and officer Gus O'Brien
began making frequent trips to the
railroad yards on the lookout for sus-
picious characters. When the report
reached the police station that a
tough looking man vas trying to dis
pose of a Winchester rife Chief Ira
Wis ordered all of his officers out to
try and locate the fellow.
Sergeant Harry Hay arrested him
and took him to the station. Stadtz,
as he gave his name, said that an
Indian had given him the gun to sell.
He stated that the Indian was in the
Northern Pacific yards. Officers
O'Brien and Stubs were working in
the yards at the time and at once
began a search for the Indian, but he
was not found. Early Thursday morn
ing the search was renewed by CHIEF
Travis and Officer O'Brien. The In

pile of ties. He told a rambling and
conflicting story, and showed the OF

Schedule Of Prices.
A schedule of prices for shearing
was fixed for next year. In Montana
and Wyoming shearers will demand
s cents per head and board, or 8
cents without board, for yearlings,
ewes and two-year-olds; and 9 cents
and board for wethers, three years
old or older, or 10 cents without board.
Under this schedule the shearers
are to pay nothing for tieing wool.
In Idaho the scale calls for a mini
mum of Z cents, Or l cent less all
around than IN Montana and Wyom-
ing.
In the constitution adopted there
is a clause providing that shearers
are at all times to have the privilege
Of boarding themselves. In another
clause it is provided that it is to be
optional with the employers as to
whether or not the shearers r to
furnish machines. In case they do
they are to receive a half cent more
per head for shearing.
Is Left Open.
! The question of accepting or re
jecting the proposition of the Wool
tain part of the wages due shearers
until the job upon which they are
! engaged shall be finished was con
=. sidered at the meeting.
No definite action vas taken, the
matter having been left to the execu
tive board for it's disposal.
1t is said that considerable oppOsi,
ton was manifested by delegates and
the belief prevails that it will be re
jected by the board.
Secretary Smith was instructed tt
correspond with the proper persons
and ascertain whether any prize;
were likely to be offered at the st
Louis exposition for sheep shearing

any of as c., 9Eesc.al interests.
Instead OF waiting until it shall
have attained it's full majority, the
Fergus County Argus takes advantage
of it's vigor and buoyancy of youthful
spirits to anticipate that import
ant event by n year and cele-
brates it's twentieth anniversary
by the publication of a spe-
cial edition, printed OF heavy book
paper, illustrated with some very
good halftones. Embellishing the
first page is a reproduction, in minia-
ture, of the first page OF the first is
sue of the Mineral Argus" as the
paper was then known. The Argus
of twenty years ago and the Argus
of today are entirely different pro-
auctions, and the difference is of
such a nature that it must be pleasing
to it's owners. During the time that
has elapsed since Charles S. Fell and
John M. Vrooman invaded Maiden
with a sackful of type and a hand
press some wonderful changes have
taken place il that part of Montana,
changes all for the better, and DUR
ing the period of transmutation the
Argus has ever kept pace with the
onward march, being a little ahead,
if anything, showing it's confidence
in the future and remaining constant
and trustful when others wavered and
became discouraged. Its hopes have
been realized and it's confidence has
been rewarded.
