ovERcoAT THAT COST $4,000.
II Was Lined With Sable and Not Cal
cuIated to Stand Much Wear.


A New York tailor who gets the
cream Of the metropolitan trade re-
marked the other day that he had read
with a good deal of surprise an adver-
tiscment of one Of the large ready made
clothing houses in which they called
attention to overcoats at $75. Il did
not suppose they went as high as that,
he said. "Of course l very frequent
ly make ovcrcoats at 500 and over, but
this advertising of high priced stuff
shows ready made clothing Is gaining
ground among the class Of people to
whom price Is no consideration.
Apropos of overcoats," he went on. Il
made a coat not long ago which cost
the owner $4,000. 1t had a Russian
sable lining, with a shell Of quality pro-
portionately rich. A Russian sable
skin is not very large, you know, not
rs large as a good sized mink, in fact
and it takes about sixty to make lin
ing. The average cost per skin Is
something like $20O, so you can readily
see where the value comes in. No,
admit / don't make many like this, and
I don't care to. After the skins were
brought here by my client that coat
had my entire thought until it was
completed and delivered, and, Of course,
| had to insure 1t all the while 1t was
in work.
I'm spite Of its great cost, such a
garment would not stand much hard
usage. The sable is a very fine and
delicate fur almost to as great de-
gree as chinchilla, but it is undeniably
rich and beautiful, and that 1t Is so
highly favored by those who can afford
It Is. on that account, not to be wonder
ed at, although 1 suppose If coon skins
were rare and valuable it would have
quite as enviable vogue among the ex-
elusive. But it isn't question Of wear
with those who can indulge In the lux
ury of sables In fact, l believe to
mention its wearing qualities would
seem a positive der1erit with some; at
any rate, 1t would not be much of a
recommendation.
"As a class, the very wealthy are
not hard on their clothes, however.
They buy the very best, Of course, and
as it happens the finest cloths are not
by any means the most durable. The
shell of this sable overcoat, for exam
pie, was woven of lambs wool. Now,
lambs wool is so very soft that 1t will
not stand hard usage. Any ordinary
man buying a coat of this sort would
go through 1t in no time and swear he
had been cheated, but the man of
wealth and fashion has some sort Of a
garment especially suited for every
occasion. and as a consequence none
Of his clothes are outworn. They are
in some cases as good for all practical
purposes when he discards them as
they were when they left the shop

H. NJ. RAE'SNEW
ENTERPRISE
ITS SUCCESS WILL MEAN MUCH
FOR THE CONE BUTTE
DISTRICT.

A mining enterprise of unusual i'm
portance is just now attracting atten
ton, and the result OF it means much
for the Cone Butte district, which
has been coming to the front of late.
Henry NJ. Rae, president and manag-
er of the Gold Reef. with j. H. Nc
Cormick, r. F. Turnbull and w. w.
Badger, have taken lease and bond
on the Vincent Gies group of claims,
and are now engaged in developing
the property on large scale.
On Large Scale.
That the work will be done in a
scientific manner, bringing out all the
merit there may be in these claims, is
certain, and those interested in the
enterprise evidently have great con-
fidence in it, as they have put large
force of men at work, opened a regu-
lar boarding house. and made arrange
ments for thoroughly testing the prop.
erty. They have just leased the mill
erected by James Murphy, and will
use it for trial run. They also take
the Murphy boarding house and bunk
house, and if the result of their eff
forts are satisfactory, it will make
Cone Butte known all over the coun
try. The best wishes of all are with
Mr.. Rae and his associates in this
undertaking.

so MUCH LIKE CLARK.

Mr.. T. j. Walsh, Democratic candi-
date for congress, is coming into Fer
gus, the greatest woolgrowing county
in the state, to tell the voters that he
does not believe in free wool. When
Mr.. Clark was a candidate for the
senate he was also suddenly convert
ed and declared himself in favor of
protection on wool. Now that Mr..
Walsh has become a wOOlgrOwer and
a candidate for congress he has
double reason for advocating Repub-
lican doctrine. But how does his
party stand on this question? Where
did Grover Cleveland stand? What
is the position of John Sharp Williams,
the Democratic leader of the house,
of Champ Clark, Bailey, Bryan and
all of the national leaders of the party?
Conceding that Mr.. Walsh is sin.
cere in advocating tariff on wool,
what influence would he have in a
house dominated by his party and
which is on record as opposed to this
protection?
About one of the first things a
Democratic house would undertake
would be the revising or tinkering
with the tariff and as the party has
always advocated free raw materials,
wool would be placed on the free list
if it were in the power of Democrat
10 ,1o Mr. o1ct1 mil OH
rise in protest against it on behalf of
himself and large woOlgrowing con-
tingency but it would have no effect
whatever.
1t is true that no measure OF this
kind could get through congress a:
long as we have a Republican sen
ate and president, but it goes to SHOW
the trend of Democratic sentimen
and it's hostility to one of the great
est industries in Montana and tn
Rocky mountain region. 1t woul
had the power and what the advan
tage of securing the next hous
might bring about eventually.
In this connection it is just as in
portant that Montana also has anothe
Republican senator at Washington a
a great effort will be made by tn
opposition to secure control OF tn
upper house two years from now.
Montana should have represent
tives in Washington who are in hal
mony with the party that stands fo
an of it's interests as has been el
emplified in the legislation of tn
past twelve years. Democratic COZ
troll in all branches of the govern
ment will mean free wool and mott
ing less Every intelligent vote
knows this. A Democratic senate
and representative, whatever thei
personal views, would be powerles
to prevent such a calamity. One e.
perience should be sufficient.

ture Of Charles Brown, or Allkire.

while the fugitive was in the company
of "a lady friend" the officers once
more turned their attention. to the
Rosco brothers, but were unable to
come up with them, the foxy jail
birds having taken to the Crazy noun
tains. The capture of Brown affords
the officers a great deal OF sattsfac-
ton, much as they regret the failure
to get the Roscos. There is still a
chance that when the men come down
into the open in an attempt to get
out of the country, as they will have
to sooner or later, they may be cap
tured, as the authorities all along that
section have been notified, and are
keeping a sharp lookout for the fugi-
tives.

Discussing the plans formulated at
Helena recently for protecting the
wool growers of Montana from losses
through the buyers entering a combi.
nation to shave prices, local sheep
man says that the scheme is prac.
ticable, and will work all right II the
wool growers all become members
of the association. The same plan
was followed in Wyoming this year
with excellent results, large sum
of money having been saved to the
flockmasters through it. The associa-
ton formed will market the entire
clip, but will go direct to the man
ufacturers instead of dealing with
the eastern buyers. There was no
} objection to these buyers making a
legitimate profit on their transac-
tons, but according to the general
: opinion expressed at Helena, they
were not content with this, and prob
; ably cut the prices three cents d
pound on an average throughout the
state. AS the growers were not or
ganized they had to take what was of.
fered or consign, but with a selling
r company of their own, it is believed
| they will be fully able to protect
' themselves in future. To make the
+ plan a success, the big wool growers
: will have to get inside the organiza
e ton. and there is every reason to be
4 lieve that they will, although sew
!. eral of the Billings flockmasters have
s not yet become members of the as
