A Missouri farmer who invested
$500 in sheep a year ago has this year
sold 1927 worth of wool. has 143 lambs

ready for market, when at four cents

started with. This would seem TO sug.
gest the practicability OF our Montana
farmers keeping a small band OF
sheep. Surely S529 would not buy a
great many sheep, but the returns
from the purchase appears to be very
handsome in the Missouri instance.
Il is in line with diversified farming,
which is the only true method where
conditions will permit. II Is doubtless
true that the Missouri farmer has the
advantage in feed for f~attenlng his

MIR. FAIRBANKS ADDRESS.

The address of Vice President-elect

the Home Market club of Boston. is
of special interest at this time as
showing the attitude oil the admins

banks To show the expansion of our
foreign commerce under Republican
policies would seem to be convincing
evidence To all candid men that such
policies were not restrictive In the
DRY or in practical operation. It Is a
marvellous showing. In a period OF
ten years. or since, President McKin.
ley's first term until March, 1904, the
net balance in trade in favor of the
United States reached the enormous
sum of $4,000. 100000. With such
splendid results is It any wonder that
the people are not clamoring for tar

states the Republican position as to the
revision of tariff schedules and reci-

President Mckinley 10 show that he

CLOSING OF THE FAIR.

The Louisiana Purchase exposition
is now a thing of the past, the great
fair closing on Wednesday of last
week on schedule time. President D..
X. Francis was the guest of honor
and ceremonies were conducted in
COmmemOratiOn of the services he has
rendered in making the exposition a
success. School children were adj
mitted free and the admission price
for adults reduced to % cents. Al
though the number in attendance Is
not stated IL Is said TO have been a
record breaker. Since the exposi.
ton opened on April 80 there have
been lS,3l7.i57 admissions recorded.
The banner months attendance was
in September, when the total attend.

sic days attendance was on Septem.
ber 10, when st. Louis day was OBJ,
served. The government has been
paid in full for the loan extended but
as 10 the actual financial result of the
fair no statement has as yet been
made. II is hardly likely that the re.
ceipts reached the an~ticipations of the
promoters and it is probable that
neither st. Louis nor the state OF Mis-
souri, will receive a cent in the way
of reimbursement for the money
spent in promoting the great enter
prise. But if moi a complete finan
Cial success, in every other way th,
exposition was the greatest product OF
human endeavor ever attempted IL
this or any other age and the worlt
will wait a long time TO see any
thing approaching it in the exposition
line. Had the fair been properly ad
yertised from beginning to end tn,
attendance would have been a thirt
larger. The greater number of PEG

in 1884 and IS he was employed by
stockmen in rounding up horse thieves
and rustlers in this region and, as us
ual at that time. there were many who
doubted "Flopper's" courage and said
he was no better than the men he vas
hunting. We know that he made some
arrests of rustlers who were convict
ed and sent to the pen, but we were
not sufficiently familiar with his char.
acter and deeds to pass judgment up
on his courage at this time, and now
that he is dead II would seem unkind
to cast reflections upon what he did
TO rid the range of hard characters.
Others may know more of his history
than we.
1t is natural that the writer should
embellish his story by drawing upon
his imagination somewhat, and this
he has evidently done, when he re-
lates how Bill crawled stealthily upon
nine sleeping Indians north of the
Missouri river one night and killed all
but two with a squaw ax. The reader
will naturally wonder what the other
Indians were doing while Bill was
cracking the skulls of their brother
warriors. AS we remember him he
VAS very slow and deliberate in his
movements.
Eugene Field says. in one OF his
poems, that Paint grows redder the
farther west you 60" and the writer
was evidently making the statement
good by painting his hero as a bloody
terror when it came TO killing Indians.
According TO the writer of this mar
rative 'Flopping Bill" whose real
name was William Cantrell, met an
undescrved death in South Omaha on
ly a few years ago when he was struck
by a switch engine in the yards or an
occasion when he had shipped a num-
Der of horses 10 market. His ending
should have been more thrilling and
far removed from the busy marts OF
trade.

skillful lawyer in taking advantage of

Juries are oftentimes at fault and

error among Montana juries, at least,
is to find for manslaughter where a

FOR BOND ELECTION
Registration Begins Today and Con-
 tinues Until March 3l.

Registration for the TontO road bond election to be held Monday. April II, will be commenced this morning. Last evening the common council appointed Charles Uttirg deputy city recorder to assist in the registration. The ap- pointment is to continue for one month and carries salary of $75. J. l.. Wolff had previously been selected for the office, but he declined to serve.
 The qualifications for voters at the coming bond election will be slightly different from those which prevailed at the recent water bond election. When the water bonds were voted any person on the assessment roll, or any person filing a verified schedule show ing that he was possessed of assessa ble city property, was entitled to vote. Under the present requirements, only such persons as those who were on the last assessment roll, which closed in July, and those who presented sche- dulles prio- to the last election, will be qualified. No new schedules will be received. And the proposed voters must take oath that they are still possessed of property.
 Other qualifications are that the pro- posed voter is a citizen of the United States, has been a resident of the ter Iitory of Arizona for at least one year preceding the time of the election, and resident of the county for at least ninety days.
 The registration will commence this morning and will continue until F o'clock midnight of Thursday, March 31st.
 For the water bond election there were 1902 qualified voters. It is ex- pected there will be approximately as many registrations for the coming election, though under the conditions there cannot be a greater number Briefly, only those can vote who are on the last assessment roll, or regis tered for the last election, and are still in the possession of assessable prop erty.
