Explorers Son at Portland Fair.

One of the most notable visitors at
the Lewis and Clark exposition last
week was w. r. Shannon, of Fowler,
Cal, who is the son of George Shan
non, the youngest member of the Lew
is and Clark exploring party of a
hundred years ago. George Shannon
was known as 1.-THE boy Shannon -
on account of his youth. After the ex-
petition he became a lawyer and was
a distinguished juror in Missouri. His
son, the exposition visitor. is now
80 years of age. He remembers hear
ing his father tell thrilling tales about
his experiences on the long journey
from st. Louis to the mouth of the
Columbia river, which the fair at Port.
land is commemorating.

and explained his position. He had
favored the repeal of the special bond
ordinance because he considered it un
just and unfair, as well as unneces
sary, with the ordinance enforced. Nc
one, he said, had stood more strongly
for decency in those places than he
did.
This left the matter with two mo
tons having been made and neither OF
them seconded. Alderman Smith fin
ally moved. inasmuch as the vote ap
peared to be two and two, that the
meeting be adjourned until Thursday
evening, in order that all the members
might be present.
Wanted the Mayor on Record.
Alderman Sloan opposed this. II
the vote was two and two, then il
would compel the mayor to go on rec
ord. I'VE have got a chance to make
the mayor go on record now" said
Mr.. Sloan, "and want to take advan.
tage of it."
Alderman Laux said that il Mr..
Smiths purpose was really to have an
expression from all the members, he
would not oppose an adjournment.
He was not sure that that was the
purpose, however.
Aldermen Smith and Tubb voted for
an adjournment, and Aldermen Sloan
and Laux against it. This put the
question up to the mayor, and he cast
his vote for an adjournment.

SHIPMENTS OF
WOOLDELAYED
GROWERS HOLD OFF ON ACCOUNT
OF STORMS THAT HAVE
PREVAILED.

Owing to the numerous storms, less
wool has arrived at the warehouse
by team this week than was expected.
Up to this morning the total amount
received was considerably in excess
of half a million pounds, and should
the weather be favorable during the
coming week, the shipments in will
be very heavy.
Two Cars BaIed Out.
Two cars have now been baled out,
both being billed to Boston. This
was done more for the purpose of
testing the electric press thoroughly
than anything else, and today baling
will begin in earnest.
No sales have been recorded during
the past week, and there is still some
thing like 1,125,OOO pounds unsold.
The plan for holding a market about
the middle of July, or perhaps later,
for the purpose of cleaning this up,
meets with general favor.
q. c. Whites Views.
Sheep Commissioner B. G. White,
of the Buffalo Creek company, is in
town for few days, and states that
he has not commenced shearing yet.
Mr.. White, who follows the trend of
events in wool circles very closely,
says that although the feeces are 60
ing to show a considerable gain this
year over last, the total output Of the
county will not be any larger than in
1904.
"There is gradual decline in the
sheep business all over Montana, and
| it is felt in this great sheep county
So much land is now being taken up
for agricultural purposes. that men
| who are in the sheep business have
got to own the land to range them on
There will, l believe, be small de
crease this year in the states output
of wool. Next year it is likely to be
| more marked.
"Shearing has been delayed consid
erably, owing to the numerous storms
but is now we'll under way. The clips
from this county will practically all
go to Boston and Philadelphia. and
by far the larger proportion will &c
to the former city"

HALFBREED
WINS CASE
SECRETARY OF INTERIOR DEcln.
ES IN FAVOR OF JOE
SWAN.

A land contest case of considerable
interest has just been decided by the
secretary of the interior, in which
the decision of the local office, as well
as that of the commissioner, is re-
versed. The case is that of Fred
johnson against Joseph Swan, in
which H. L. DeKalb was attorney for
the contestant and David Hilger for
the entryman.
Is Poor Breed.
The chief element of interest in
the case arises from the fact that the
entryman, Swan, is a poor breed, and
that fact undoubtedly counted in his
FAVOR with the secretary of the inter-
lor. The land in question is within
three miles of Lewistown, and the
contest was based on general failure
to comply with the law, and espec.
tally as to residence. 1t appeared at
the hearing that Swan was a very
poor man, with a wife and ten chill.
dren, and one of his little ones died
upon the homestead, which fact was
made much of in the appeal. Swan
spent most of his time working at
saw mill, where his wife took in wash
ing, and this left him little time To
actually reside on the land. In the
appeal, it was emphasized that there
was no question as to the entryman's
good faith and as tO the reu1liremanfS
OF the law, it was urged that the gov
eminent should be especially lenient
to the representatives of the fast dis
appearing Indian race.
Secretary's Decision.
In his decision, Secretary of the In
terror Ethan Allen Hitchcock reviews
the evidence at considerable length
and says in summing up, that while
it does not appear that there was a
sufficient compliance with the require
ments of the homestead law to war
rant the allowance of the communal
ton proof, neither does it appear that
the charge of abandonment has been
proven.
In conclusion the secretary says:
THE department therefore finds
that the action of the local office in
rejecting the Communication proof was
warranted, but in view of the show
ing as to residence, the poverty and
illness Of the claimant and the fact
that the charge of abandonment is not
established. the contest should be dis
missed and the entry remain intact,
subject to further compliance with
the homestead law. and it is accord
ingly SO dismissed"

ening attracted an unusually large au-
dience, and the program given by the
members of the Sunday school was
full of interest and most creylitabiy
carried out. Practically all of the
pupils participated in one way or an
other, and their work showed careful
training at the hands of the commit
tee, of which Mrs. H. R. Watson was
the head. The exercises were led by
Rev. Albert Pfaus.

THE TIVOLI
LICENSE UP
COUNCIL is ASKED TO GRANT SA.
LOON LICENSE TO G. r.
O'GRADY.

The meeting of the city council
Monday night was lively while it last
ed although it didn't last long, and
the net result is represented by a
cipher. Fourth of July preparations
evidently kept some of the members
away, and it was about o'clock be-
fore Mayor Pinkley could count quo
rum, those present being Aldermen
Smith, Tubb, Laux and Sloan.
The minutes of the last meeting
were read and approved land as the
bills had not been audited, Alderman
Laux moved that the regular order be
suspended, and that parties who had
some matters at present be heard.
This was agreed to, and G. M. Canon
called attention to nuisance caused
by water accommodating on Seventh
avenue, near Main street. The mat
ter was referred to the committee on
streets and alleys.
The TivoIi License Up.
w. NJ. Blacktord, on benalf of Brooks
Bros, said that the saloon building
on Main street owned by those par.
ties had been closed for months, ow
ing to the action of the city authori
ties in closing the Tivoli theatre and
saloon. He did not think it was fail
to the owners of the building to com
pei it to remain closed indefinitely
The following petition to the council
was then read:
"On behalf of G. F. O'Grady, here
by ask that the consent OF the city
council of the city OF Lewistown be
granted for the issuance OF license
to the said G. F. O'Grady for saloon
to be conducted in Brooks Bros. frame
building on Main street, adjoining the
| Tivoli theatre building. Yours re
spectfully. JOHN BROOKS"
Alderman Sloan moved that the sa
| loon license be granted, on condition
| that no minors be permitted to entel
! the place.
Alderman Laux said he would SECOND
the motion if the reference TO minors
should be omitted. That was entire
ly unnecessary, as the city ordinance
fully covered it.
Alderman Smith moved that the ap
| plication be not granted.
| Aldermen Sloan and LauX though
Mr.. Smith was inconsistent, holding
him responsible for the repeal OF the
special bond ordinance, and now op
posing the granting Of license fol
this place.
Some further discussion brought gu
the fact that behind the petition a:
read was a move to secure license
for onening the Tivoli theatre, Mr.
Blackford said that was probably con
templated, to be frank, but all tha
was asked at this time was saloor
license.
i Alderman Sloan was not favorabl!

WILL MEET TONIGHT,
Business Mems Association Will Re-
ceive Several Reports,


The Lewistown Business Mems as
ISOLATION will hold a meeting tonight,
when several reports are to be pre-
sented. One of the most interesting
OF these will be the report of the del
egates who recently attended the con-
ventiOn of the Montana Business
Mems League at Billings.
The finance committee is expected
to report a plan for extending the
membership of the organization. The
association is already a strong one,
but there are several business men
who are not allied with it, and
changes are likely to be made with
view to popularizing the association,
and bringing into it all those who are
qualified to enter it.
The committee designated to report
some plan for advertising Lewistown
and Fergus county generally is also
expected to send in it's report, and
these matters will furnish material
for an interesting land important
meeting.
