BUTTE COUNTY WOOL CROP.

1t is reported hat Belle Fourche,
which has been for some time the
largest cattle shipping market in the
world, bids fair now to change its
past character and become instead
tive most important point in the west
for shipping sheep. For the last three
years the stock interests in Butte
county have been gradually changing
from cattle to sheep. Many men who
owned the former have turned their
attention to sheep, some of them hay
ing gone so far as to relinquish all
their cattle holdings. Last year there
was shipped from Belle Fourche $685.
900 pounds of wool, and it is estimat-
ed that the crop which will go out
from this market during the next
month will not be less than 100000
pounds. This is not the entire crop of
Butte county, as considerable wool is
shipped from Dickinson, North Dako-
ia, and also from Evarts, South Dako-
ia. The amount of Butte county wool
going through those two towns will
approximate 100000 pounds making
the total crop for the county is in
the neighborhood of l,750,OO0pounds.
As wool is worth about % cents to
the producer, it will be seen that the
crop in Butte county will approx
mate $437 10000. The mutton crop
will exceed that amount in value. The
sheep industry is no small item with
our Butte county friends.

During a recent year the receipts Of
the association from land rentals. IL
was estimated, would reach fifteen
hundred dollars. and from the wharf.
over and above the compensation of the
wharflnger. about twelve hundred dol
lars more. These are the two sources
of revenue of Fairhope as colony.
The total taxes TO be paid to the county
and State. in accordance with the de-
cisiOns of the assessors during the
same year. were about seven hundred
dollars. After paying the taxes, there
would. therefore, remain about S2,9DO
TO be expended for the community's
benefit. Only S125 is paid out in salar-
les annually. there being but two sal
aTied Officers-a secretary and a treas
urer. the pay Of all other officers or
employees being but so much per hour
for the actual time spent in the work
Of the various departments. Not a
dollar is expended in interest or in divi-
dends on stock at any time. Therefore
the greater part of the receipts from

Inhabitants Still Poor

Il has been said of the people who
made Fairhope that they were all poor
men and that they are still poor but,
as a community. have more wealth
than any town twice the size and
which has been in existence three
times as long. The fact is also point
ed out that the neighboring settle
ments in Baldwin county have not
grown nearly as rapidly as Fairhope
Ia other towns the wharfage charges
and the receipts from rents and sale
of lands go TO private concerns or in
dividuals Also instances In Alabama
are quoted where land worth 800 an
acre a few years ago. has since chang
ed hands al $500 an acre, while the
owner has never set foot upon the
soil or made an Improvement, in fact
lives far distant from the site. The in
creased value comes from the i'm
provement Of the surrounding terri
tory by others. from which the dis
tant land owner reaps the benefits
This situation, OF course, is constant
" duplicated all over the United
States. In FaiThope, however, these
benefits Of increasing land values are
Teaped by the community as a whole,
while at the same time, no individual
sacrifices his just compensation as an
individual.

A Demonstrated Theory

The first settlers. although they num-
bered but fifteen, represented several
states and natioualties- They started
out by naming their town F2irhOpe,
and by choosing for their motto: we
viii make good theories work In
eleven years the community has ac-
quired sixteen hundred acres Of land
and has options upon a much larger
area 1t has a public school system,
library a church, and all the usual
business houses that go to make up the
average American town except a Sd
loon. During the past fifteen months,
village improvements costing $4,000
have been made. Plying between Fair
hope and Mobile is a steamer which
carries two carloads Of freight and 10
passengers. This vessel, too, is owned
by the colony.
Ia accordance with the Henry George
theories. the land at Fairhope has been
taxed and not the improvements placed
thereon. nor personal property. 1t is
claimed that this plan has given gen
uine Impetus TO the placing Of improve
ments upon the land. Under the exist
ing laws, State and county taxes are
naturally imposed, but, after the as
SCISSORS have completed their work.
these taxes are paid as a whole by the

All the south side of the lake was
once good woodland The timber
was Tough-cut when the reservoir
was built, and the waters backed
up to Kill the brush and small stuff.
Scattered along this south side,
half swamp, half flooded timber
land, there are islands, some of
taem acres In extent In the sum-
r1er. lush green things, creepers,
vines, and second growth timber
clod;e' these spots Of land in
waste OF quagmire as a jungle.
And, in among the creepers and the
dense growth, there are strange
things and strange men,
The general public doesn't get
much of chance to inspect these
haunts- Nor, it can with authority
be said, does the general public, at
least, the public OF Augiaize county
and Mercer county, express any de-
sire to be enlightened as to what
goes on among the islands.

at the shore, cursed softly when
he found 1t missing, the paddock
hammered open with a stone. 1t
usually came back night or two
after, for the island dwellers had
no intention of setting the villag-
ers against them. The villages
were neutral ground, and no great
harm comes to their citizens un-
less the laws of that neutrality
were broken.
But. while that mans boat was
missing, a new hut had been added
to the colony on the Big Island. ="
To this veritable hospiee of crime
came the 'yeggmen. the strong
arm men" and those who had kill
ed their man from all over the
Middle West. And mighty few peo-
pie cared to follow them into the
maze of islands.
There is no feeling against these
reservoir men in the community
where they live. Every once In q

The Venturesome tOWnsman, who,
on fishing bent (and the reservoir
until, few years ago, before the
seine nets cleaned it out, was noted
for its small mouthed bassl, poked
the nose of his boat through the
network OF waterways giving access
to the group, saw little, heard little
and kept that little strictly to him
self.
Down in Ceiina people sometimes
saw queer things. Strange, rough

while the press dispatches from
Ceiina tell OF some outside officer
trailing stolen horses from Indiana
over the line into the reservoir coun-
cry. But no one in the reservoir
country Iooses any horses. Chicken
thieves raid the surrounding dis
tricts, yeggmen ply their midnight
trade all through northwestern Ohio.
But the reservoir towns are left
alone
The men from the islands spend
all their money in the towns on its
banks, and now and again they have
considerable money to spend.
So mind your own business" has
come to be the watchword of the re-
spectacle element and 1t Is pretty
well lived up to. Only when some
such occurrence as the attempted
dynamiting OF the dam comes up
do the people make protest. And,
as has been said, that protest is al
most dead.
