the matter of keeping up the prices.
Not only will the prices be elevated

representatives in preparation for
their purchase for their government
and transportation to Vancouver,
where they will be placed on board

British Columbia, is now engaged
about the border looking up bands OF
horses and making arrangements for
their purchase. Those bought on the
Canadian side will mostly be sent to
Vancouver, while those purchased in
this country will be shipped via Seat
tie.
Wilson does not know how the ami

gagement arranges for his taking the
to either Seattle or Vancouver.
He reports that another party is buy
ing horses in the Okanagan country
and that several Japanese buyers are
in the Alberta and A%ssiniboia districts
looking for horses.

For a man who has been referred
to by In irreverent democratic press
as only a political Renaissance,
David Bennett Hill is giving some
remarkable exhibitions of health and
vigor these days. The manner in
which he has manipulated things in
New York for Parker should be ac-
cepted as strong proof that he is not
the moribund politician he has been
pictured and that he is too many for
Murphy when it comes to strategy in
the field of national politics. The
way in which he has worked around
Tammany would do credit to a man
Of more exalted rank in the estimation
Of his party than he has enjoyed for
q long time.

o OF THE YEAR.
Storm Proved Unusually Severe in
Fergus County.

fergus county.
Fergus county received her share
of the storm which swept over the
entire country last week, but when
all losses were counted up it will be
be found that we escaped extremely,
we'll, says the Argus. The astern part
of the county was the hardest hit and
for the first time this winter the
southeastern part suffered somewhat.
Old-timers say that the storm which
struck that part of the county Tues
day morning about 9 O'Clock and
ragged until Thursday afternoon, was
the worst storm experienced down
there in years. The snow fall vas
heavy, the wind blew a gale for two
and a half days and the cold was in
tense.
Two bands of sheep belonging to
Nolan & Thompson and n belong
ing to Ed. Pirrie we're lost with their
herders. Men were started out Frs
day morning to hunt up the herders
and round up as many OF the sheep as
possible. The sheep were being grad
ually rounded up last Saturday and
the loss will not be as great as at
first anticipated. No other losses of
Importance are reported from the Flat
willow and Willow creeks country.
Some idea of the fierceness of the
storm may be gained from the fact
that it required the stage from Tues
day until Friday to go from Flatwillow
to Musselshell, a distance Oh 80 to
35 miles.
Reports from the country north@and
northeast of Lewistown are that the
storm did not do much damage.
| Stock conditions in the Dog creek
and Armells creek countries are uni
| formly good. Stock is thin but not
generally weak and will get through
the winter in good shape. From
Plum creek to Oscar stephens Ma
ginnis ranch the roads are dry. In
the western part of the county there
have been no losses to speak OF and
stockmen are more than holding their
own over there.
Some rather discouraging reports
continue to come from the extreme
northeastern part of this county ana
northwestern Dawson county. Some
losses are being reported from Valley
and Chouteau counties also. Taking
it altogether, Fergus county continues
to occupy a favored position, compar-
atively speaking, among the stock
raising counties.

In it's comments on the case OF
Burton an exchange derives consola-
ton from the fact that the spectacle
of a United States senator convicted
of fraudulent practices is not often

does not alter the fact that in the
opinion of many persons no harm
and much good would follow were
such convictions of more frequent oc-
currence.

the outlook is not nearly so hopeful
as he would wish it to be. AS a basis
for his admission he said: There
is no leadership to stir our fighting
spirit; we have no issues sharply
enough defined to arouse interest in
tensely in the campaign" For brew
ity, c~onciseness and truthfulness the
foregoing sentence has been rarely

EFFECTS OF Russo.JAP WAR.
Senator Gibson Advises Farmers I,
Plant Much Wheat.

Farmers and ranchers OF Cascade
county as well as those of other parts
OF the state can see a year OF pros
perity ahead of them through the de-
mands which are now already being
felt as a result OF the war between
Japan and Russia, says the Great
Falls Leader. Bread stuffs and other
products Of the farm and range ave
already shown a marked advance with
others further anticipated from day to
day.
Advises to Plant Wheat.
Already Cascade county wheat has
advanced 5 cents upon the bushel
and today a letter was received by
3. B. Judd from Senator Paris Glib
son, now in Washington, in which he
advises the farmers OF the county to
put as much of their land in wheat
as they may find possible. The SEN
ator makes this recommendation upon
the condition of the day which finds
two of the great nations OF the world
engaged in a bloody conflict which
may last for a long period and which
in all events will create a great de-
mand for many articles OF food.
Forsees a Demand for Wheat.
Through his official place in the
senate of the United States, Senator
Gibson has foreseen a demand upon
the products Of the American farms
and a natural high price for grain, and
accordingly has advised the farmers
to put in grain. Not only has he
given this as advice to other farmers,
but he has also written a letter to
the foreman of his ranch south of the
city ~instructing him to put every acre
OF cultivated land upon the ranch
into wheat with the exception OF that
absolutely necessary for the raising OF
oats needed upon the ranch for feed.
Will Elevate Prices.
Beyond a doubt the advice is OF
the best which could possibly be given
to farmers of the county under the
existing conditions and even though
the war between the two eastern
countries may have been ended before

LAKE CITY, February 23:-Iake
~City is to have new Methodist par,

Consumption

Salt pork is a famous old
fashioned remedy for con-
sumption. "Eat plenty of
pork" was the advice to the
consumptive 50 and 100
ears ago.
Salt pork is good if a man
can stomach it. The idea
behind it is that fat is the
food the corsumptive needs
most.
Scott sEmulSionisthemod
ern method of feeding fat to
the consumptive. Pork is 30
rough for sensitive stomachs.
Scott's Emulsion is the most
refined Of fats, especially
prepared for easy digestion.
Feeding him fat in this
way, which is often the only
way, is half the battle, but
SCOTS Emulsion does more
than that. There is some
thing about the combination
of cod liver oil and hypophos-
phites in SCOTS Emulsion
that puts new life into the
weak parts and has a special
action on the diseased lungs.

STRONGLY FAVOR PARKER.
Chances for the Presidential Delegation
 from ArIxansas.

Hot Springs Ark, June 14.-The dem ocratic state convention assembled here to-day to nominate a full state ticket and select delegates to the St. Louis national convention. Control of the ere dentials committee was sought eagerly. As the committee stands it is consider ed to be largely composed of support CTS of United States Senator James P. Clark and Governor Jeff Davis, who are both known to be personally against the selection of United States Senator James H. Berry for one of the four del- egates at large. The contest for con- trol of the convention by the Hearst and Parker clements will be spirited, and the ultimate decision of the convention lis in doubt, with the chances strongly favoring Judge Parker.
 The convention is called to order by Temporary Chairman Mayor George R. Bedling.
 The First, Fifth and Sixth congress sional districts convention to-day se- lected delegates to the national conven- ton. These delegates are said to be favorable to Parker. The other districts Ialready had named men who are thought to personally favor the candi- dacy of Judge Parker. The Parker sup Iporters are confident of controlling the state convention. The Hearst forces claim they will be able to prevent in Istructions if they do not capture the Istate delegation.

 Harvard Crew Quarters, Gales Ferry, June 14.-Again the Harvard varsity crew was sent over two four mile stretches this evening rowing down to the drawbridge and back. At times there was a great improvement over the work of previous tests and there is cause for encouragement. Going down stream the crew bucked hard head wind and a strong tide, and so only padded the distance, taking over twen- ty-five minutes to cover the course. Captain Dillingham; allowed the men a short breathing spell after the first four miles and then ordered the shell turned up stream with the strong wind and tide with the men. Rough water was encountered for the first two miles, however, and the boat was unsteady, doing the two miles in slowed time by fifteen seconds than they did last night. During the third mile time was made up and for the last half of the row the men showed great improvement. The second crew took it up with the varsity for the last two miles and although they were rowing higher stroke by six or seven to the minute they could not hang on and finished several lengths behind the first crew. During the last half mile the crews were joined by the varsity four which pulled 3S-stroke but they failed to keep pace with the varsity. The time for the four miles was given out as 27 m. 5 sec. but the distance was short as the crew padded over to the float instead of going to the finishing line. On three miles row up stream this afternoon the freshmen showed con- siderable improvement in blade work and in their slide.
 The work os the crews this morning was light, the varsity rowing three quarters of a mile down stream and re- turning. There was heavy head wind going down stream and the men did not over-exert themselves. All the men are 1 in good condition, and tis.s examinations are progressing satisfactorily.
