AT MILES CITY
Eastern Montana Association Meet In
Annual Session in Custer County
Seat, Miles City.
CHICAGO DELEGATION PRESENT
Big Stock Papers of Porkopolis Rep.
resented-logan Speaks for Sec
ret Coalition.

Miles City, April 1S.-The annual
meeting Of the Eastern Montana
Woolgrowers' association of eastern
Montana opened this morning with
weather warm and pleasant, which is
very exceptional.
The reform school band appeared
at 10 o'clock and led the way to the
opera house where this meeting and
thatof the Cattlemens association
will be held. President T. L. Ham
mond and the secretary James Cal
win, occupied the stage together with
the band and representatives of the
local press and Chicago livestock pa
pers. The president in his opening
remarks welcomed the members and
visitors and then remarked on a few
of the subjects which would demand
the particular attention of the or
ganization. The roll call disclosed & -
fact that there were about 100 names
on the roll of the association.
The treasurer's report showed the
association in a prosperous condition
and the secretary reported about 300
sheep owners in Custer, Rosebud and
Dawson counties, twice as many as
three years ago. The secretary had
been ready at all times to open his
books for the registration of good
and bad" herders, according TO a mo-
ton passed last year, but nobody ap-
pesred to feel like patlunizing it. The
81 dues the secretary thought should
be raised to IS.
A. c. Logan, of Billings. addressed
the meeting in favor of the woolgrow-
ers' alliance, which had been formed
in Central Montana. The officers of
the alliance were present and came to
ask the sheepmen to join in a coali-
tion of the five eastern counties OF
the state for their better protection.
The organization was in a measure
secret. the members ueing bound
with an oath. but its object is alto
gether in defense of their business.
Ex-senator Power. in response to d
question. said: "The driving of scab-
by sheep from the west could only be
prevented by state laws. The sheep
men at the last session of the legis-
lature had attempted TO have effect
ual Legislation enacted, but some un-
seen influence appeared to be at work
which nullified all their efforts"
State Veterinarian NJ. Z. Knowles
was next heard from on the subject
of scabby sheep. Mr.. Knowles stat
ed that through the trouble with in
fected sheep from Park county, he
found that for several years he had
been making himself liable by quar-
antining sheep which Judge Loud had
declared were not recognized in the
Montana law as domestic animals
and therefore not under the protec-
ton of the quarantine statutes. In
this respect the statutes must be
changed to protect the sheep owners.
A committee on resolutions was ap-
pointed as follows: ]. c. Lyndes, 7.
]. Porter, George Myers, X. Mclean
and G. w. Burke.
The Chicago delegation this year
is unusually large and they have their
own private car.

terribly injured in other places about
the body and the total loss of sight
will probably result.
Rice received some broken ribs and
other lesser injuries about the face
and body. He will soon recover.
Ridell escaped with badly peppered
face with possible permanent injury
to one eye.
Mclaughlin is about 50 years OF
age, and, so far as known. is unmar.
ried. Rice is young man and also
unmarried. Ridell, the mine foreman,
Is married and has a family.
DR.. Wilson expects to return from
Kendall this afternoon in his auto
mobile. On the way over he hit q
bad piece of road. which caused him
some trouble. but expects to come in
TO Lewistown without difficulty.

COUNTY FAIR
IN SEPTEMBER
Directors Hold a Meeting and Start
the Movement Towards Getting
Ready for Big Fair.
IMPROVEMENTS WILL BE MADE
A New Fence Will be Built Around
the Grounds and the Stables Will
be Moved Across the Track.

Stockholders representing 375
shares of the Fergus County Mineral,
Agricultural and Stock association,
met in the Office of Secretary o. w.
Belden yesterday afternoon and made
a start towards getting ready for the
fair, which will be held next Septem-
her The trustees present were Ed
ridge, Weaver. Symmes, Won Tobel
and Hllger. The old board OF trus-
tees was reelected. The officers are:
Frank T. Wright, president; l.. w.
Eldridge, vice president; w. d.
Symmes, treasurer, and o. w. Bel
den. secretary.
1t was decided to hold the fair this
year on Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday the 21st. 22nd and 23rd OF
September. That is about the same
time Of year that the last fair was
held and is generally not only about
the time OF the best weather in the
fall, but is also the most convenient
time for outside visitors, especially
stockmen and ranchers.
The small boy who is depending up
on peeping through hole in the en-.
closure. will have a tough time this
year, as the association decided to
have a new fence built. w. ID,
Symmes and l.. w. Edridge were ap-
pointed as committee to ascertain
the cost of material for the fence and
as soon as this Is done, bids for it's
construction will be advertised for.
The old stables above the present
entrance TO the ground will be moved
across the track near the small stab
les on the creek bank. The new To-
cation will make the stables more
convenient for the owners of horses.
1t was definitely decided that an
other ladies' relay race will be pro-
yided as one of the attractions for
next fall. II was one of the best fea-
lures of the last fair, being marred
somewhat by an accident to one of
the ladies' on the last day. Il is ex-
pected that there will be a number
OF entries for this event this year
and the same rules as governed last
year will prevail
The regular racing program prom
ises 10 be good one. Outside horses
have always been kept away from
Lewistown by the lack of facilities
for getting in. With the train run
ming into town, it is expected that
some of the best horses in the state
will he entered for the good purses
which will be hung up by the associa-
tion. The road will also permit 9th.
er attractions to be brought in, and,
judging from this distance, there
seems to be no hindrance to the
members of the association making
this years fair the best ever held in
Lewistown.

is said that there will be about 100
samples showing both first and sec
ond-class ore at the various stages of
reduction and refining. including
matte. slags, fue dust shines, cleo
trolytic copper, refined copper. pigs,
anodes and cathodes. There will be
included 10000 pounds OF wire bar
and ingots. At the entrance OF the
Montana exhibit will be 12-foot col
umn of refined copper. It may be
mentioned in this connection that
Great Falls is the only place In the
state where refined copper Is being
turned out at the present time. There
will be a block of silver, copper and
gold made at the silver plant in con-
nection with the electrolytic refinery
and showing the proportion Of these
three metals in the slime.
Further interest will be added to
the Boston & Montana exhibit by 80

WOOL MARKET QUIET.
Consumers Buying Only What is Nee
essary for Their Own Use.


With the exception OF the takings
of two large concerns, one of which
purchased over half million pounds
of medium Montana wools and the
other fully as mucn of territorial
wools, the market has presented n
very quiet aspect. says the American
Wool and Cotton Reporter. Desirable
selections are very greatly reduced,
fine medium clothing territory being
about the only variety of stock which
can be said to be in good supply.
Consumers are, as rule. lightly
stocked but they are buying no more
than is sufficient to enable them TO
fill their immediate requirements.
Prices continue firm and on wools of
quarter and three-eighths grades they
are at the very top level of the sea
son.
The receipts OF wool in Boston this
week amounted TO 100io bales. as
against 1896 bales last week, and
ll,727 bales last year.
The total receipts since January
have been 123,014 bales domestic and
40,970 bales foreign wool. against go.
S39 bales domestic and i0,903 bales
foreign for the corresponding time
last year. This is an increase OF 32,.
LIS bales domestic and decrease OF
n bales foreign.
The shipments for the week ending
March 2S are as follows: Tuesday,
March 22, 1,O39.l16 pounds; Wednes-

This shows a decrease of OIL $50
pounds for the previous week. Since
January |. the total shipments
amounting to 57,S07,917 pounds
against 59,27S,S00 pounds for the cor.
responding time last year.
The sales of the week in Boston
amounted to 2,S37,0 900 pounds domes-
tic and 605.000 pounds foreign. max
ing a total of 3,442,000 pounds against
a total Of 2.972,000 pounds for the pre-
vious week. and a total of 2,7S5, 900
