aCing away with the wool markets
this year.
In ordinary years the wool is carted
to the principal centers-Great Falls,
Billings, Big Timber and Dillon-to
be examined and bid upon by the
Eastern representatives. These sales
generally begin on July 4, but it is
predicted that ere that date ap-
proaches this season upward of 80 per
cent of the clip will have been con-
tracted.
AS usual, Boston and Philadelphia
houses have secured the bulk of the
clips although st. Louis, Chicago and
New York firms are beginning to send
agents into the field. their houses hav-
ing been advised of the unusual pro-
ceedlngs, with the result that auto
mobiles, livery teams and horses are
being made use of by the buyers in
their almost unseemly scramble to
get wool.

AN IMPRESSIVE SERMON.

Veteran Of the Civil War Speaks on
Memorial Sunday.
A Memorial sermon was preached
yesterday morning at the Thompson
Street church by Rev. Tallman. The
church was well filled for the occa-
sion by members of the G. A. r. and
their relatives and friends. The
speaker is himself a veteran of the
civil war, and is now in his 18th year,
consequently his discourse was of
more than usual impressiveness, and
was listened to with great attention
by his hearers.

MONTANA's WOOL CLIP.
Many Sheepmen Are Saying ''Four
Pounds for a Dollar"

Montana's wool clip for this sea-
son will aggregate slightly more than
$4,000, 900 pounds, and of this amount
more than 25,000,00O pounds have
been contracted for on the Sleeps
backs at prices averaging about II
cents a pound. 1t is estimated that
there are 100000 sheep in Montana
and the average clip will be about six
pounds.
Thus Montana sheepmen will real
ize close to $9,00O,O00 for wool alone
and as the price for mutton is above
the usual figure, the year will be one
of the most prosperous in the history
of the state so far as sheepmen are
concerned.
Never before in the history of the
state has there been such activity on
the part of buyers for Eastern houses

HARVESTING GREAT WATERS.

At the rate Niagara is being har-
messed for electric power 1t cannot be
long before the picturesqleness of that
wonderful place will be gone and its
usefulness correspondingly increased
Most Of the work done by electric pow
er companies at Niagara since 1883,
when the business of putting the flood
under control began, has been carried
out on the American side; but now
the Canadians have expanded their
own electrical enterprises in way to
warrant comparison.
The new Canadian company has Sc
cured the right of way for a transmits
sion line along the Canadian side. be-
tween Niagara Falls and Fort Erie, in
timating that possibly some of the
electric current may be transmitted to
Buffalo. The inviting field, however, Is
the city of Toronto, where there Is
demand for power and it is probable
that the first Niagara power sent to
Toronto will go over a transmission
line now building from this plant. If
so, 1t will not be many months be-
fore the eighty miles between Niagara
Falls and Toronto will be covered by
the transmission, and when this Is
accomplished the longest transmission
yet will have been effected in connec-
ton with the Niagara development.
To transmit the current so far, its
voltage will be raised to 10000 or
10000.
Speaking of the development of cleo
trical power one great remaining field
of energy remains to be exploited-the
world-embracing ocean. Enough energy
goes to waste along shore to run all
the factory wheels on the globe. A
harnessed Atlantic and Pacific would
mean, by the cheapening of fabricated
products, a marked and common bene-
fit to mankind.

ENTERTAINING STRANGERS.

A Montana man who is visitor here
complains that the people go to bed
early leaving strangers to shift for
themselves. The explanation will be
new to old residents, but the deserted
look of the streets after p. m. ex.
cuses the theory which the gentleman
from Montana has formed about tn,
simplicity of our nocturnal life.
The truth about il is that Honolulu
people are so accustomed to amuse and
entertain each other evenings that
they think they have no time and feel
no special incentive to get up public
functions. They do not patronize the
theater very much; great singers come
and summon the muse to gaze upon
empty opera seats. But when it comes
to delightful dinners and balls, par
ties and teas and receptions, week s
end visits at country houses, driving,
yachting and automobiling, Honolulu
people manage to pass the social time
very charmingly.
For a few tourists a change in the
public situation cannot easily be made;
but II more come and the town fills
up with them, there will be plenty do
ing. The supply of entertainment the
world over does not fall much short of
the demand.

MEnlAEvAL. RUSSIA.

/ One of the manifold curses OF Rus
sla is its ducal aristocracy; another Il
its priesthood. Combined they stan'
massed in the way of progress and they
steal from every Golfer, corrupting the
public service, impoverishing the mid
die classes and expressing and plum
dering the poor. The Emperor himself
is not so bad a man. He has dreams
and visions of doing good and II was
he who tried to organize peace at The
Hague, Yet. while in almost undis-
puted mastery of the common people,
he is but a slave in the hands of the
Grand Dukes and of reactionaries like
Pobedonetzeff, the Procurator Of the
Holy Synod. They govern; the Czar
reigns; and the Car knows that II he
does not reign to please his masterful
councillors some way will be found to
rid the world of him and put pulling
infant on the throne.
The situation as 1t stands shows how
far Russia has Jagged in the path of
civilization. The basic facts about
her present history are those or
medieval Europe. When one hears of
a state where the aristocracy lives by
plumber, supported by rich and AFRO
CANT church prospecting through the
superstitions 1t spreads among the
masses and keeping those masses igno-
rant of the world about them so that
no ferment of intellectual forces, no ex-
amples of victorious free peoples may
disturb the vested tenure of the rulers
when one hears OF these things we
say, the mind turns back to the
Europe Of the Middle Ages. The story
of Russia cannot be associated with
the Europe of the present day. 1t is
of the fifteenth and not of the twenti-
eth century. 1t belongs to the time of
Louis XXI. not of Victoria and Edward,
of Loubet and Roosevelt, of W,lhel-
nina, of Christian and Oscar.
But the people of Russia, hindered
in development though they have been,
have come nearer our day. They are
close to the time Of Robespierre and
Marat, of the guillotine and of the great
assize in which the causes of man
hood are tried as by fire. 1t Is a
bloody period but 1t is close to the
beginning of nobler century; but as
the final results of the French Revolu-
ton have been described as IAN un-
mixed and wholly perfect blessing"
SO. perhaps, will be the issue of the
fated period upon which Russia seems
about to enter.
But what a contrast 1t all is to the
progress and manhood of the heather
empire" against whose victorious
legions the eager priesthood of the
Slav is appealing to the deaf ears of
an incensed and outraged God. There
stands Russia. savage, uncouth and
predatory, processing to worship the
cross, and there stands Japan, in the
light of the new century and In the
clasp of that century's ideals, the ex-
emplar of justice and humanity and
good faith and yet welded to pagan
Did the irony of circumstances

THE KAISER.

The Improvement in the Kaiser s
health viii add zest To the celebration
of mis- birthday. A late photograph OF
His Majesty, for which the Advertiser
| is indebted to Messrs. Hackfed & CO.,
I shows him In his old form and prompts
the expectation as well as the hope that
his years may be prolonged.
For a long time the Kaiser has been
the most conspicuous figure ON the con-
tinent of Europe. No one has occupied
the same line of prominence during his
reign save his own great subject, the
late Prince Bismarck. This is not who'll
ly due to the fact that continental Eu-
rope is painfully deficient in great men,
but to real intellectual qualities in the
Kaiser himself. I'm a crowd of blind
men the one-eyed man Is King" and
some may have tried to account for
the Kaiser on these grounds. But the
ruler OF Germany is assuredly two
eyed man, who in any company of the
great, would be recognized and honor
ed as a leader. 3-
Public opinion never denied the Kali
ser real ability. but for many years 1t
was disposed to suspect him of Inn
pulsiveness. Now and then he did
things to warrant the fear that he was
reckless, as, for instance, in the matter
of the Boer telegram. But 1t is long
time since his sobriety of judgment
came into dispute. Years and response
bilities have taught him tact. have
broadened his mind, have enabled him
to keep Germany at peace and to vastly
augment her wealth and significance.
The war lord with firebrand has not
materialized; In the place where peo-
Pile were looking for him, one found
thoughtful statesman, intent upon the
noblest constructive enterprises. The
admiration felt for him by foreign am
bassadors, notably by the Hon. Andrew
ID. White, one of Americas few great
ENJOYS, rests upon the cool estimates
of men who are not easily deceived.
Generally speaking, history has meas
ured the greatness of kings by the vic
tories Of war and the greatness of rul-
ing queens by the victories of peace.
But this Kaiser, whom men see loom
ing up above the ruck of crowned
heads, has never fought battle and
may never do so. But 1t matters not
Civilization begins to see that 1t is
greater thing to build a State than
to destroy one; and the Emperor VIII
liam, with peaceful Germany as his
pedestal, is not likely to be overshad-
owed in history by any warlike SOW
ereign of his age or even of his line.
