LOSS PLACED TOO HIGH.

OF what value is bulletin or state
riculture if they are no more accu-
rate in other matters than they are
in regard to sheep losses in Montana
during the past winter? BY the state
ment, to which reference was made
last week, the per centage of loss in
this state was SIS. Giving Fergus
county credit for 100000 head of sheep
this would make the loss for this coun-
ty alone in the neighborhood of 49,
900 head, a number far too high.
Well informed woolgrowers, men who
take a conservative view, do not place
the winter losses in this county to
exceed 2 per cent, some placing them
under that figure.
The same conditions, both as TO
weather and feed, prevailed all over
the state, hence it is difficult to aC-
count for such a high per centage of
loss as that given out.
1t is barely possible that there are
regions in the state where some risks
are taken. in the wintering of sheep,
and isolated cases where disease has
decimated the bands. AS the winter
was an open one and feed on the
range fairly good but few losses could
be sustained even if little attention
was given to feeding, while all Mon
tana sheep have been generally free
from disease.
We believe that all woolgrowers
have passed through the winter with
remarkably light losses and that none
of them are prepared to accept the
statement that the percentage of loss
for Montana is SIS, or anything like
it. Conditions in other western states
may not have been as favorable ant
the figures of the department OF agri
culture may be correct as to them
but they will not stand for accurac!
as they relate to this state.

The feud existing among the high
officials of the Equitable Life Assur-
ance association is not calculated to
give policy holders that perfect peace
of mind to which they are entitled,
and for their good and that of the asso-
citation some equitable and sane ad-
justment of the contention that now
divides them into warning factions
should soon be reached even if the
power of the courts must be resorted
to for that purpose. The develop.
ments show the necessity for the en-
actment of stringent laws for the pro-
lection of policy holders, who in good
faith and often at great sacrifice have
invested their money for the benefit
of their heirs. There is an immense
surplus in the treasury of the asso-
citation, free from any liability and
SO far as known it's business is con-
Quoted honorably. Yet those high in
authority are receiving more than
generous salaries and exploiting with
the associations money in a way that

of confidence in the conservatism of
their management. 1t is to be hoped
an amicable settlement will soon be
reached.

Husbands Practical Joke Makes
wife Raving Maniac.
Paris, April 29.-M. Edmond Le-
louise, wishing to play joke on his
wife, dressed up wax figure, the
head of which and one of the hands
he lightly attached to the body by
means of gum and placed it in a bed.
While Lelouse was watching the
proceedings from behind some drap-
cries his wife, about to retire, grasp
ed what she supposed in the semi
darkness to be her husbands hand,
but which was in reality that of the
wax figure. The hand, cold and clam
my, detached itself from the limb and
remained in her grasp. With ter
rible cry of terror Nine. LeiOuse let
the hand drop to the ground and flung
her arms around the figures neck,
when the head also became detached
and rolled down upon the floor. The
terror stricken woman, uttering pierre
ing shrieks, ran down. the stairs,
where she was stopped by some neigh
bOrs and detained. When the police
arrived it was found that she had
become raving mad. Later she was
conveyed to the asylum. When the
husband was apprised of the hopeless
ness of his wife's condition he poison.
ed himself by swallowing a dose of
nitric acid.

How deplorable that some worthier
ambition might not have engaged the
energies and the talents of this cap.
able man! That he should not hav:
been able to take a juster and san.
er view of the real object of life! Ali
tie higher and nobler and worthler
possibilities of his existence have
been thrown away that he might seize
one great prize which has eluded his
grasp at last. and left him disgraced
and ruined by his effort to reach it.
The greatest pity of all is that the
world is full of men like him. They
do not all fail as he did, nor do they
all employ the dishonorable means
that he used, but they waste their
lives in trying to realize an ambition
no higher than that which tempted
Frank G. Bigelow to his ruin.

WILL NOT CHANGE THE DATE.

Chicago seems to be the home of
the icOnoclast, or professors who ap-
parently yearn for a little notoriety
in promulgating some new and start
ling idea or in attacking established
customs, principles or facts. They
generally bring ridicule upon them
selves instead of admiration for their
wisdom and audacity. Not long since
one of these Chicago professors found
fault with the Rocky mountains be-
cause they did not extend from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, and now comes
another savant, Prof. John Franklin
Jameson, of the University Of Chica-
go, who says we must not celebrate
the Fourth of July because it was the
18th day of August that the Declar-
alton of Independence was signed and
this country was declared a free nation
from Britain's tyranny.
"A big mistake has been made
somewhere about the signing of the
CJeclaration," declared DR.. Jameson,
addressing a body of students. Our
natal day should come on Aug. IS.
To believe that it is the 4th Of July is
wrong. There is conclusive evidence
to prove my statement.
Our ancestral fathers decided on
July 2 to draw up formal declara,
ton. But it was not until foty-seven
days later that the document was
actually formulated and finished. The
| paper was not signed in the hall al
| congress, but was passed around anu
| signed in the various colonies
DR.. Jameson bases his claim on the
fact that number of members of tn,
continental congress signed the dec
laration on that date.
The Minneapolis Journal, comment
ing on the contention of the Chicago
professor, says:
| The declaration was merely a
means adopted by the congress to APP
prise the world in a dignified way OF
what had already been made a par
liamentary fact. The thing tina
counts is not the declaration which
Jefferson wrote, but Richard Henr.

A GOOD YEAR FOR WOOLGROW-
ERS.

According to the statement of d
leading woolbuyer between 100000
and 100000 pounds of wool has al
ready been contracted for at prices
ranging from IS to "a cents, the av-
erage being above 20 cents. The clip
of the state last year was 23,043, 500.
1t is estimated that this years clip
will reach at least 40OU0,00O pounds
and that between $S,OOO,0OO and $780,
100000 will be paid for the clip
Statistics show that there are more
sheep in the state than there were a
year ago, and while the average
weight of fleeces in the state last year
was only GO pounds, the average this
year will be very close to eight
pounds, and in some large portions
of the state, the average will be above
eight pounds. Last year, the average
weight of all fleeces in Fergus county
was 1856 pounds and there is not the
least doubt that the fleeces of the
county will average over eight pounds
this year, while in every other por.
ton of the state, the fleeces will be
heavier than they were last season
The clip of the state will be much the
largest in the history of the industry
in the state, and will be the largest
ever produced in any state.
The shrinkage of Montana woods
was exceptionally light last year, but
there is every indication that it will
be no greater this year, and there
has never been year in which the
wool of Montana contained SO mucl
staple. All conditions have been most
favorable for growth of staple and the
favorable conditions continue. The
wool is now very clean and while
shearing will not be commenced be
fore May 20, there is now very little
probability of any change in condi
tions that would have deleterious
effect on the wool.
Surely, this is a most satisfactor.
showing for this great industry ant
the leading woolgrowing state in tn
union. While the woolgrower is REAP
ing a substantial harvest all business
will feel the stimulating effect of high
er prices and the millions of dollar
that will be left in the state befor
the buying season closes. 1t is to b
hoped that the same favorable cor
dition will prevail for several year
to come.

AS to Mayor Pinkley's appointments

city engineer and Leonard De Kalb for
city attorney and clerk will give gen
eral satisfaction.
The various committees seem to
have been selected with care as to fit
ness and experience, and every mem
Der will doubtless strive to do what
is best for the city, studying careful
ly the dividing line between economy
and parsimony.

no warrant for calling Aug. IS indie
