Fergus Is Prosperous.

Changing the subject to the question
of Fergus county and present condi-
lions, Mr.. Hobson said the county new
er looked better and the times were
never better. The liberal rains he
says have placed the ranges and farms
in splendid shape. The loss among
sheepmen from the rains and cold
weather were small. This is account
ed for by the fact that shearing had
not started. Mr.. Hobson says that he
believes sheep losses in Montana have
not been as large as reported. In nor
thern Montana where sheep had been
sheared there may have been some
loss but on the whole he is of the
opinion the flockmasters have passed
through ticklish season quite luck
lily.

writes that there is strong ground
for the opinion that he would do 80.

having spent months in investigating
the merits Of each type. He appointed

The senate committee on inter.
oceanic canals, after hearings lasting
over four or five months. during
which engineers from every direction
gave their opinions and views, has
reported by a majority OF one in favor
of sea level canal The fight will
be a big one in senate and house. The
senate has not so far proven friendly
to many OF the projects recommend
ed by the president Whether II viii
agree with him on this remains 20 be
seen. Even n II votes In favor OF
sea.level ditch the chances are over
whelming that the house will refuse
TO Join and will stand for the local
canal type. The prospects would
then be- favorable TO no action q;
any kind az this session, and the
whole canal would have to stand stin
another session. or the president
would have 10 go ahead on his own rs.
