MAKING GOOD PROGRESS.
The Railroad is Rapidly Coming To-
wards Lewistown-2o Miles Done,

Yesterday afternoon Arugs repre-
sentatives visited the grading camp of
Cazier Bros. at the Morrison ranch,
a little more than a mile from the
city and found the work along that
part OF the road bed progressing rap
idly. The Messrs. Cazier have their
camp pleasantly located in the field
neal the Morrison ranch houses. They
have the contract for the five miles
of grading at the Lewistown end of
the road. and from the senior member
of the firm the information was gath
cred that they would be ready to lay
rails on their part Of the line by Sep
TENDER LIST. They have at present
fifty men and thirty-one teams ct
work and about August LIST they ex-
poet to move their camp to Casino
creek. where they will begin the
grades for the terminus of the line.
Where they are grading nov a great
deal Of hard PAN is being encounter
ed and blasting is necessary. A charge
of 400 pounds OF black powder was
fired In a cut yesterday evening,
which broke the ground of the entire
cut TO a depth of twenty feet. Mr..
Cazier also informed us that in con-
versation with Mr.. McShane a day or
two since the latter gentleman said
that the rails would be laid as far as
Beaver creek within the next thirty
dayS.

intention Of shearing them at the p.
|. Moule shearing pens on Careless
creek. Johnson's foreman had per-
mitted the sheep to Craze upon a por.
ton of the range used by Godfrey,
and had camped one night at one of
Godfrey's corrals. Scabby sheep had
been corraled at his same corral only
about two weeks previously. There
was no evidence yet of scab on any
OF the Johnson sheep, but as they had
been driven across a part OF the in
tected range and exposed to the dis
ease the commissioner ordered them
into quarantine at the head of Timber
creek, on the south side of the
Snowys, and also ordered them to be
dipped at once. Mr.. Johnson has
guaranteed the sheep as ordered. and
is now building a dipping apparatus.
Owing to the prompt action taken In
the matter Commissioner Hilger does
not anticipate further trouble with
them and thinks they will escape the
disease.

SHEARING
Strikes at First and Rains Later Have
Made Progress Slow.

Up to the rain Of last Thursday
shearing was progressing in a most
satisfactory manner at all the differ
ent shearing pens Of the county. Some
OF the shearing plants were greatly
retarded by strikes among the shear
ers during the earlier part OF the sea-
son.. The Sage creek shearing plant
suffered a temporary shut down on
this account, but work was renewed
after the demands Of tie men were
conceded. This plant now has twenty
five machines at work. and about 2.30O
sheep are shorn daily.
At Bower Bros. machine shearing
plant near Stanford another strike for
higher pay was inaugurated and the
entire crew was discharged, a crew
of hand shearers replacing them.
Mrs. George Edwards. OF Stanford,
finished shearing June Both.
Fred Warren, of Utica, B. c. White
ana Alex. Green have shorn their
locks at the Barrows shearing pens

II is very probable that the recent
rains throughout Fergus county Will
cause many of the w~oolgrowers to
ship their wool from Harlowton to
the Billings market, as the roads are
very heavy for the long haul to Great
Falls where IL can be avoided.

OUR SENATE.
An English View of Its Power, An.
thority and Performance.

An English View Of Its Power, An.
thority and Performance.
The senate has played a very great
part in American history, and, on the
whole, the tremendous power and au-
thority welded by the senate have been
well exercised. The majority of the
senators are statesmen of great polit-
zeal ability as well as men of high char.
acter.
There are few sights in the political
world on either side of the Atlantic
more impressive than the senate in ses-
sion. The sense not only Of a very
high standard of personal capacity, but
OF the immense powers which 1t yields,
seems to pervade the assembly. The
smallness of their numbers, the fact
that they are armed with authority
which is executive as well as legisla.
tive and the knowledge that they rep
resent not mere localities, but states,
in their corporate capacity, and states
which are often Is populous as Euro
pean kingdoms, naturally fill each indi.
vidual senator with the sense of per-
sonal distinction. A United States SEN
ator is a very great man, and he knows
It. and the senate, as a whole, Is In.
tensely conscious and proud Of the
might, majesty and dominion which 1t
wields. To make a comparison, 1t mat
tiers very little what an individual
member of the British house OF COM
mons thinks and means to do, still less
what an individual British peer thinks
ard means to do on any given subject,
but 1t matters n very great deal what a
single United States senator thinks and
means to do.
The senate can veto every appoint
ment made by the president, whether
the man nominated for office be a
Judge Of the supreme court or an am
bassador or merely a collector Of GUS
toms. Again the senate can. by refus.
ing to pass II, veto any bill sent up
from the lower house, no matter
whether the bill IL concerned with the
raising or spending Of money or with
alterations I'm the law. Lastly, not a
majority, but any minority which num-
bers over a third Of the senate can re.
fuse to ratify any treaty presented for
ratification by the president. Thus the
executive can make no binding treaty
with any foreign power unless 1t can
obtain a two-thirds majority in the
senate. In other words, the senate can
say the final word not only in regard
to all legislation, but in regard to all
finance, all appointments to high office
and to foreign affairs Of the nation
