Vidid Notes on the Storm in
ST. Paul,

We take the following from a letter
by Oscar Lienlokken, of the editorial
staff of the Pioneer Press, to his father
in this city:
1--WE have just had an experience that
almost terminated in death for a hun
dred or more of the people who work
at night in the Pioneer Press building.
The terrific wind storm of Saturday
night gave me the greatest scare of my
life, and l have been in some tight
places before.
To-day there is not a whole pane of
glass on the southwest side of the
eleventh floor of the Pioneer Press
building, and many windows lower
down are gone.
"The instruments of the weather
bureau, which were on the roof, were
carried away or destroyed.
"At the same m the most fear

with absolute terror, as crash after
crash the lights in the great central
sky light over the building were hurled
in sheets to the floor thirteen stories
below.
"Rain poured down in torrents, and
still the terrifying crash Of glass splint-
cred and shook the the air. The noise
was titanic, as was the storm. AS soon
as ! had locked the door Of the back
room I made for the hall neal the
elevator shafts. The cabs were not
running now, of course, but I had an
idea. There Is a library on the eleventh
floor that is entirely an inside room. /

Miss Lowenthall and Miss Korey,
who has been visiting at the home OF
Mayor and Mrs. Levoy for several days,
returned home to st Paul Wednesday
morning. The ladies went home ooner
than they had intended to see what
damage was done in the city by the
storm of last Saturday.
A strong man gave exhibitions In one
of the saloons Monday night by bending
an iron bar on his jaw all day Tuesday

people on the street for a piece of
money. This latter exhibition was
brought to the notice of the police and
he was given notice to walk out of
town Immediately or be thrown in Jail.
He walked.
We took a drive in the country We'd
nesday afternoon and were surprised at
what we learned from the farmers.
Grain fields that looked to us to be
good for twenty TO thirty bushels to the
acre were said by the farmers to be
hardly worth the cutting and they
proved their statements by having us
lift the bundles and we found they
would not weigh hardly anything at all
and what little grain could be shelled
out of the heads was of a very small
berry and all withered up. The farm
ers are all very much discouraged with
the whe at crop and one nan told us
that he had one hundred and sixty acres
and he did not believe it would thresh
over two hundred bushels and that his
was just as good as any of his neigh
boris.

he regained his feet Doctor Judge had

was 465,OOO,OOO pounds as against
49O.OOO.OOO pounds at the same date
last year. decrease of 25,OOO.OOO
pounds The advance figures of the
new department Of commerce indicate
an increase of over per cent in the
imports of grease wool for the fiscal
year ending June 80, which means a
still greater increase if clean secured
wool alone is considered, as the in
crease is all in the coarser grades Of
light shrinking qualities.
Reasons For Feeding Sheep.
The Live Stock World quotes an au-
thority on sheep feeding who gives the
following reasons why he expects it to
be profitable this fall and winter:
Thin range stuff is going into feed
lots at reasonable prices.
Owing to tight money the big op-
orator will not be as heavy a factor
in the supply as heretofore.
Owing to the low grade and high
price of screenings speculative feeding
is declining, and the business is pass
ing into the hands Of an army of small
feeders.
Speculative demand for wool will
keep the price up.
The export demand will be unex-
celled.
Domestic consumption of mutton is
steadily increasing.

The Anaconda schools have adopted
system whereby the grade teachers
instruct in specialties only. Instead
OF one teacher having entire charge of
room, the different teachers pass
from room to room teaching their
specially. For instance, one teacher
will have charge of the arithmetic in
all the grades, another grammar, etc,
This plan gives the pupils better SER
vice and makes it easier for the teach
ers. The system has been adopted by
many eastern schools.
A suit has recently been begun by
Alex Fairgrieve, of Red Lodge, presi-
dent of the State Federation of Labor.

that Partelow, in whose name the deed
had been made, refused to make if

attempt to recover its rightful property.

Wool ON the Face.
Intelligent ranchmen have decided
objections to the wool On the faces of
sheep kept on the ranges and espe-
cially in proximity to the eyes. When
the snowStOrm comes the snow and
rain adhere to the wool around the
eyes and as the temperature lowers it
freezes, thus forming a serious OBJ
stacle to the vision of the sheep. When
out grazing or when being taken from
place to place this matter is some
what serious, however trifing it may
appear to those unaccustomed to han
ding sheep in this country-F and
Farm Colorado.
Sheeprnen's Losses
1t is estimated that the sheepmen of
Utah have realized $15O,O00 to $780,
goo less for their wool clip this year
than last. In Idaho the difference is
about twice as great. In Wyoming
and Montana similar losses have been
sustained. The total loss is even
greater, as there are not so many lambs
as is customary. Many sheep died be-
cause of exposure during the winter,
scarcity Of feed and the spread of the
big head. Altogether it has been an
unsatisfactory year for sheepmen, al
though the price of wool has been
higher than it was in 1902.
Sheep In Australia

that Mr.. Samuel McCQUghcy of Monel,
Australia, has lost by the recent

and has only 250,000 left. All over the
drought stricken region losses of sheep
have been similarly disastrous. These
Australian droughts surpass anything
known on the American continent.

Tagging q Fish.

The United States fish commission
has contracted the small boys habit
of tagging fishes. Metal tags are fas-
tened to marine fishes, which are let
loose in the ocean with the idea of
identifying them in case they are
caught at any future time.
The tag, which is light and made of
copper, is securely fastened by a wire
passed through a fin near it's junction
with the body. NO two tags are alike,
each having its own markings. Fif-
teen hundred cod were thus duly
tagged and released last spring on the
New England coast. The object of
the tagging is to ascertain the rate at
which cod grows, the frequency of
it's spawning and the extent of its
travels in the ocean.
The same experiment is being tried
this year with young salmon, artifi-
cially hatchet, for the rivers Of the
Pacific coast. The fishes are Ginger
lings," about three inches long. In
this way it is expected that the age
at which the salmon comes from the
sea to spawn will be ascertained; also
the rate Of growth and the percentage
of fry that attain maturity. 1.-The ex-
pertinent is an interesting one and
has an obvious bearing on fish culture
problems.
