THE LEGISLATURES MET
And Appropriation Made For Saint
Louis Fair.

Louis Fair.
Senator Hopkins and Representative
Bray went to Helena the first of the
week to be prese It at the special ses-
sion of the Legislature called recently
by Governor Toole to make appropria-
ton for suitable representation of the
states resources and industries at the
st. Louis fair and for the maintenance
of the capitol building and grounds.
The legislature met Tuesday and
transacted the business for which it
had been called and completed its work
all in a single day. There was no
special debate. The members had
agreed the evening before upon a plan
of action. They had only in the end
to put this plan into effect. The result
was the passage of the following bills:
Appropriating $50, for the exhibit
at st. Louis and providing that the
matter shall be in charge of the honor
ary commission heretofore appointe ted
by the governor.
Appropriating $1O,O 900 for the remov
al of the exhibit to the Lewis and
Clark fair at Portland IN 1905.
Appropriating money for the care of
the building and the grounds of the
capitol.
The house passed a resolution ask
ing the governor to empower the joint
session to consider a railroad commits
sion bill. This was answered by the
governor at the evening session. The
request was denied. The governor
said in his communication that it
would not be fair to take the matter up
on so short notice, that the subject had
not been announced in advance as one
of the matters to be considered in the
extra session and that the resolution
not being a joint resolution it would
not be fair to the senate to take such
action. The bills were passed by the
house in the afternoon and by the SEN
ate at night and after sone delay wait
ing for signature and enrolment be-
came laws, all in single day.
The senate and the house passed
joint resolution thanking the Northern
Pacific railroad company for the paint
ing presented the state and which has
just been put into position at the capi-
toll.

the interior. Some of the local wool
merchants talk in a disparaging way
regarding the future of the wool mar
ket, and yet these very persons are
among those who have paid the highest
prices for the new wools in the coun-
try. The market must advance very
materially at the seahoard before they
will be able to unload their wools ex-
cept at loss. Wyoming wools are
selling up as high as 14c at Casper
and Rawlips and some wools are held
at higher prices. The owner of one
big clip of wool says that he will not
sell 1t for less than 1+Hc. On the
other hand, some wools have been sold
in Wyoming at 111ac, 12c and 12H,
and good average wools in Wyoming
may be quoted at 1sc to 1870, which is
one-half to one cent above last year.
The early shorn Nevada wools are
practically all gone.
Territory wools are quieter. A few
stable lines have been moved. but the
business has been more of a piecing
out character, possessing no special
significance. The business of the
week has been made up largely of
several small sales put through on the
basis of AZ to +Sc; for fine medium
clothing, SOC to SIC; for fine and fine
medium staple, S3c, and perhaps a
little more for strictly fine Montana or
Nevada. Medium Montana has sold
within the range of 44c to +6c Prices
have ruled steady to firm. Brokers are
around looking for soft spots or bar
gains, but they do not succeed in fird-
ing many. A few new Arizonas have
been selling. The wools are of lighter
shrinkage than last year and are
worth 17c to 1Sc for the very best of
them. The Idaho wools are reported
to be in unusually poor condition,
owing to the severe winter, and num-
Der of the clips which bad been con-
tracted for on examination have been
rejected. Sales in Idaho are reported
at lac and in Utah at the same price,
the average price being 1870. as
against 12c last year. The wool raj
sers in Utah are sai,: to have lost heav-
lily in their flocks, on account Of the
falling off in the size of the clip.

Current Comment.

The grease in the wool of sheep is
exceedingly valuable. A great deal
of it is lost when the fleece is washed
before shearing. A government expert
says: 1T is safe to say that from
IS, 100000 to $3,OOO,OOO worth of wool
fat and polish are run down the
streams and wasted annually in the
United States"
The president calls himself Ro-2i-
welt, and New York Sun correspond
ent says the bearer of the name is
ignorant of its pronunciation, which
should be Rase-velt, in two syllables.
The popular pronunciation remains
'Teddy."
They say Venezuela is about to see
the end of her revolution. But then
another hen is on and the egg will soon
be hatched. There is nothing slow
about South Americans except when
they are wanted in front of the battle.
Theoretically every boy in this coun-
try of $4,000, 900 people is possible
president in embryo. Practically
speaking, only few score of them are.
Garden work should be sufficiently
advanced now for the head of the fam
lily to put on his coat and tell his son
and heir to finish the job.

TWAS A GRAND AFFAIR.
Dance Civen.ey Flremen Was Well Attended
and Enjoyed.

Just mere mention of the dance given
by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire.
men in Alexander hall Thursday
night would neither be doing justice tc
the promoters of the affair or those who
availed themselves of the hospitality of
the firemen, for, without a doubt, the
occasion was the most successful, look
ing at it from social standpoint,
that has taken place in Forsyth for
many months, if not in the history OF
the town.
The firemen spared neither pains
nor expense to make the event what it
was, and when it is considered that
the dance was given at the season OF
the year when all railroad men are
unusually busy on the road, therefore
limiting their time to prepare for such
occasions, they did remarkably we'll
and are to be commended upon the
success attained.
Placed over the front door of the hall
was an order board to attract the at
tention of passers-by, while the inte-
rior was decorated with bunting, and
lanterns with red, white and blue
globes were hung at intervals on the
walls. Directly over the stage was d
fac simile of the firemen's emblem, a
scoop shovel~and pick and the letters
''B. L. F.' When dancing begun in
the evening the hall presented a very
animated scene.
Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur Bovee, assisted
by William Theade of Miles City,
furnished the music for the affair and
fully fifty couples indulged in the
Terpsichorean art until midnight,
when an excellent supper was served
at the American hotel. This feature
was looked after by rpne host, Sickler,
and to say that he did himself justice
is saying the least.
After supper dancing was resumed
and continued until the wee sma' hours
of the morning, and all are unanimous
that the event was a red letter one for
Forsyth.

ABOUT DESERT LAND PROOFS.
The General Land Office Getting More
Particulars in the Matter.

Following is practically the con-
tents of circular letter being sent to
U. S. commissioners and others en-
powered to take final proofs, and will
be of general interest especially to
those taking up land:
The department has, for the last ten
days, been rejecting all desert proofs
in which it is not shown that one
eighth of the total area included in
the filing has been cultivated, stating
''that the mere increase in the growth
of natural grasses on one-eighth of the
area, it being the result of irrigation,
is not deemed sufficient when the soil
is such that plowing and stirring the
same would not be detrimental there
to.
''We write you this letter in order
to save you and your clients the ex.
pense of making proof where an ac-
tual cultivation of one-eighth of the
land is not shown, as the same would
have to be rejected by this office under
this ruling of the department..
1--WE would also call your attention
to the fact that in homestead proofs the
department is requiring that the man
shall show. by day and dates if possi-
BILE, his absence from the land, and
shall, also give the length of time
each year that he has actually spent
upon his homestead. A compliance
with this requirement will save much
trouble and expense to parties attempt
ing to make final homestead proofs.'

SCIENTIST FROM AGRICULTURAL
WILL INVESTIGATE GRASS.
HOPPER PLAGUE.
METHODS OF ExTERMlNATlNC
The Pests That Threaten to DESTROY
Much Range.

Reports from the country south of
here indicate that that section is again
destined to suffer the ravages of a
grasshopper plague similar to the one
that practically laid waste to a large
area last year and compelled many
stockgrowers to move their herds to
more promising fields.
Professor r. a. Cooley Of the agri-
cultural college at Bozeman has been
appealed to with the hope of devising
some means of combating the pests and
unless something can be done soon the
residents in the threatened territory
will be compelled to move, "bag and
baggage, for they have found it
necessary to feed nearly all of their
accumulation of hay to stock that was
unable to procure a sustenance from
plague will be unable to put up suf-
ticient feed this season to tide them
over another year.
Prof. Cooley has arrived here and
will make an investigation. Although
prior to coming here none of the speci-
mems had been sent him for indentif-
cation, he is certain that there are
several different species of the animals.
From the character of the reports sent
him he thinks it probable that among
these species are the western cricket
and the lesser migratory locust, both
familiar pests in the west.
The methods of combating these
pests have to be adapted to the circum-
stances. In some localities late plough
ing destroys the animals. In other
places the most effective means is the
| chopper dozers," wide shallow trays
| filled with Oil that are drawn across
the field, and the hoppers that are dis
turbed fly into the trays and get fatal
dose of oil. In other places or at other
| times poison spray is most effective.
Now and then the place where the
hoppers are being hatched can be found
and as the young in large numbers
remain here until they get their growth,
by the spreading of hay or straw over
these spots and setting it on fire inn
mense numbers of the young animals
may be destroyed. These methods are
useful according to the varying cir
cumstances in each case. Professor
Cooley's trip now is partly for investi-
cation, but it may result in some sug-
gestions to the afflicted ranchmen.
Nearly 800 square miles of territory in
the Yellow stone valley are affected.

while the element of loss will have
been reduced to the minimum. More
than that, the new settler west of the
river will raise forage plants as is now
being done to a certain extent immedi-
ately east of the river, and this all
means more and better stock to come
from the region where for the past
decade we have been taking the range
stuff.
''1n some sections in the northwest
settlement has already struck the death
blow to the free range system, but it
gives back far more than it cakes
away, and the revenue from the range
country will increase with each year."

ander Peoples and Reuben E. ia
mar, by majority vote on Friday
decided to issue a call for primaries

primaries held in May last, when
delegates were selected who as

Delegates. Mr.. lamar belongs to
the Writ faction and claims that
the judges were all selected with
out consulting his wishes. The
primaries are for the election of
five from each district, who will as
semble in convention at Elkton on
Wednesday, Aug. 10, to choose
four delegates to represent the
county in State convention at Ralti-
more, for the nomination of candi-
dates for Governor, Attorney
General and Comptroller of the
Treasury.

Candidates for Jessup's Cut.

The Appeals Colora correspon-

Of the exploits of couple of Port
Deposit "sports," who should be
given a few months vacation at
Jessup's Cut, with hard labor:
f'Two toughs from Port Deposit
passed through this section on last
Friday afternoon. They had re-
volvers and after amusing them
selves for some time by shooting
into doorways, where little chill
dren were at play, and at passersby
on the public road, determined to
punish the horse they were driving
for being in such bad company
They did this by shooting the poor
animal in the head. They succeed
ed in getting the horse as far as
Liberty Grove, on their way back
to Port Deposit, where they left
him in care of DIR. Jordan, who
furnished them with another an
imal with which they finished their
journey to the Granite town. The
horse which was so cruelty shot,
was the property of George Lamm,
of Port Deposit"

three miles northeast of Elkton,
