*OverdraWn. y
Montana Sheep for Export.

The following, from the South St.
Paul Daily Reporter, will be of inter-
est to local sheepmen and others
A sale was made on the local sheep
market yesterday which should be of
great interest to sheep feeders in the
territory tributary to the South St.
Paul market, inasmuch as by this sale
the establishing of an outlet here for
export sheep and lambs was made
known.
The sale yesterday consisted of a
drove of 955 head of prime wethers,
averaging 1856 pounds, which were
weighed up to Swift & Co. for export
at $4.75. The sheep were out of To-
cal feed lot and the price which they
brought tops all markets this season
for sheep of their class.
These sheep have been in charge of
John Patterson, who, although but IS
years old, has demonstrated his ability
as a feeder and handler of sheep.
Those who had the pleasure of seeing
this prime drove of sheep were loud in
their praises of the young man who
put them in such a fit condition.

Immense Daily Average.

The records show that Chicago re-
ceived over 100000 sheep last year,
or about $1,000 every market day, the
maximum run being slightly less than
10000 head, says the Chicago Live
Stock World.
This speaks eloquently for the pro-
ductive and consumptive capacity of
the country, but sheepmen of reputation
venture the prediction confidently that
the business is only in it's infancy.
Ten years hence $4,000 run of sheep
will probably cause no comment, and
the average will be much greater than
during 1902.
AS meat-eating people, Americans
must consume more mutton as time
wears along, and sheep-raising ought
to become more inviting sphere of
enterprise for the average farmer. At
present the market demands, not an
increase numerically, but an improve
ment in quality.
The consumption of mutton has been
retarded by the inferioritv of the meat
offered the public. in no line of live
stock is there as much neeN of scrub
elimination as with sheep.

THINK DALEY HAS ABSCONDED
Former Rosebud County Man Said to Have
Lost Heavily In Sheep Deals.

The following Miles City dispatch
will be of interest to Rosebud county
people who were acquainted with
Fletcher Daley, formerly stockgrow-
er and rancher on Chrome creek:
Fletcher Daley, who came here from
Rosebud few months ago to establish
large creamery plant, is alleged to
have left the country. The contract
for the machinery was made in the Of
flee of a local real estate man some
time ago, but the machinery has not
arrived and it is thought the order was
countermanded. Daley was seen in
town on Tuesday. He had been deal
ing quite extensively in sheep and cat
tie. 1t is alleged that he tried to sell
a band of sheep on which the State
National bank had mortgage, and
tried to secure $3.50 down on the con-
tract.
The county records show that DALEY
got $500 on $50 head of cattle from
the First National bank, $1,000 on ,, $50
head of sheed from the same institu-
ton, s., 200 on 6, ,772 head of sheep from
the State National bank, $50 on 1,O46
lambs from the First National bank,
and gave a mortgage to Chauncey
Weaver on 45 milk COWS, and another
to ]. w. Nichols on for team, wagon
and harness.
The banks refuse to say anything
about the matter further than that they
have had some difficulty with Daley
and expect to have him brought back
to Custer county. Friends of Daley
say his integrity has never been ques-
TONED, but that he has lost heavily in
two or three bad sheep deals recently.
Since the foregoing was printed it
has been learned from Mrs. Daley
that her husband left Miles City Mon
day morning, last week, on the early
morning eastbound train, leaving the
family but 500 to subsist on.

County and city officials throughout
the state are much interested in the
measure proposed by Representative
c. B. Miller, of Lewis and Clarke, for
the abolition of the commercial and
professional license taxes now imposed
by the state laws. SO important a
matter is this question of license faxes
that it is said that the enactment of
Mr.. Miller's measure into law would
put most of the counties and cities of
the state into such a financial hole
that there would in a very short time
be Macedonian cry that would be

DEATH OF j. n. AUSTIN.
One Of Rosebud County's Pioneers Closes
His Earthly Career. Surrounded by
Those Near and Dear to Him.

AT o'clock Sunday morning, Janu-
ary II, 1903, John H. Austin breathed
his last, at his home here, where with
his family and friends he had spent
many happy days. The news came as
a shock to everyone, although it had
been known that Mr.. Austin's condi-
tion had been quite alarming at differ
ent times within the past several weeks.
For several years hehad been sufferer
from asthma and when he was COM
PEELED to take to his bed suffering with
typhoid pneumonia, his physical con-
dition was not such as to withstand
the ravages of the latter, which was
the direct cause of his death.
For sixteen years Mr.. Austin had
been resident of Forsyth, and had
always been held in high esteem by
his fellow citizens at home and through
out the county.
During all these years his family
home had been noted for it's cordial
sociability and friendly hospitality,
and large circle of warm personal
friends will feel the passing away of
Mr.. Austin as a personal bereavement.
The funeral services took place from
the Methodist Episcopal church Tues
day, January 18th, at o'clock The
services were conducted by the Inde-
pendent Order of Odd Fellows, of
which Mr.. Austin had been a member
for many years, and in which order he
had held offices of high rank. The
Ladies' Auxiliary of this lodge was
also present at the funeral to do honor
to the memory oftheir deceased brother.

flowers were contributed by relatives
and friends.
John H. Austin was born in 1860 at
Seymore, Wis, where he remained
until after his marriage, June 81, 1879,
to Miss Minnie Knox, when he went to
Minnesota and engaged in farming.
In April, 1882, he came to Montana,
and after railroading for few years
took up a ranch near Froze- to- Death
and gave his attention to stock raising
He came to Forsyth in 1887 and started
in the dray and livery business. which
he conducted in conjunction with the
Lame Deer and Forsyth stage li,.e up
to the time of his death.
Besides a wife and four children,
three of whom are daughters. the old
est being Mrs. w. E. Martin of this
place, Mr.. Austin leaves an aged
mother, who resides in Wisconsin, one
sister, three brothers and one half
sister.

HIGH PRICES COMING.
Believed That Montana Wool viii Brine
Twenty Cents This Year


Wool promises to be wool this year.
Already buyers are negotiating for the
growing clip on the sleeps back. West
ern woolgrowers have been numerouslv
asked to put price on their 1908 clip.
No sales have been consumated, but the
fact that inquiries regarding prices
have been freely made at this season of
the year is extraordinary. There has
been free buying of wool on the sheep's
back in recent years, but we don't re-
call that the people who have pursued
this policy have begun to plan their
operations as far ahead as November.
says the American Shepherds Bulle-
tin.
The fact of this very early attempt to
get possession of the 1908 clip may be
considered a fair indication of the en-.
thusiasm regarding the future of the
wool market which prevails III certain
quarters.
The interrogative which eastern
dealear have put to Montana sheepmen
recently regarding this years clip have
created the belief in that state that
prices will be pronouncedly higher in
1908 than in 1902. The prediction is
made by some that wool in that local
ity will bring 20 cents next year, as
against 10 and II cents last year, which
4 lf .
per cent. Possibly such expectations
will be realized, but just at this iunc-
ture it is hardly probable that the
eastern trade loo forward to paying
such figure as we have indicated.
The eagerness of SO many members
of the eastern trade to get their eyes on
definite amounts of the next clip is
easily enough explained. Every mail
from Australia makes it clearer, not
only that there will be an enormous
falling off in the amount of wool avail
able for this years clip, but that the
1908 yield will also show deficiency,
The latest estimate of the 1902 de-
crease is 100000 bales, with much Of
the wool poor in quality at that. If,
owing to the scarcity of feed and the
great mortality in lambs, the 1908 clip
is also going to be short, and if, as is
we'll known, wool is in deficient sup
ply in every other part of the world
except South America, there is every
incentive to believe that wool will be a
good asset to possess during the next
year or two. It is, of course, owing
to such considerations as we have lust
enumerated that the prices at the cur
rent London auction sales have touched
such high figures. But in contemplate
ing the statistical position of wool, it
is always necessary to keep in mind
the possibilities which exist in connec-
ton with wool substitutes.
There is always figure above which
wool cannot be advanced, be ,he weld
as small as it may be. There is some
evidence that consumers have recently
been turning their attention rather
more sharply to substitutes.
