Eastern wool dealers, according to
the Boston Commercial Bulletin, will
make a determined effort to modify
the views Of western sheepmen as to
wool prices. They figure that the
wool must be sold or consigned, the
owner not having any facilities for
storing it. and by playing a waiting
game they hope to induce the sheep.
men to accept offers that are not at
present satisfactory. In it's weekly
review the Bulletin says:
All the western wool points are
covered by representatives of eastern
merchants, but there is practically
nothing being done in the way of buy.

gard to prices is solely responsible
for this lack of activity. Buyers have
been ordered not to purchase any clips
until reasonable offers are considered.
Instructions are being closely fol-

opposed To Prison Penalty.

WASHINGTON, May Ii. Senator
Nelson had read in the senate today
the following telegram from President
a. B. Stickney of the Chicago & Great
Western railway:
"As you know, | am in full sympa.
thy with the main features OF the
amendment proposed to the interstate
commerce act. but | desire to protest
against the injustice of the proposed
amendment imposing fines and impris.
onment on officers and agents of rail.
way companies for allowing rebates.
Such penalties can never be inflicted
upon the presidents and high officials
of the l6O, 900 miles OF railroad in this
country who live 10 New York and do
not deal directly with rates, while
their demand for more revenue will in
duce some freight agent on a salary OF
$1,000 or $4,000 a year to grant the re.
bate. Make the penalty as high as
you please against the railway com.
pauy. This is the only way to reach
the railway a and grand dukes.
The penalty of Imprisonment was in
existence for many years. and only
one man, q poor freight agent. trying
20 support his family or a meager
salary, was imprisoued.'
The river press. [volume] (Fort Benton, Mont.) 1880-current, 1906-05-16

cred an opinion as to the liability OF
counties for predetermined and indi'
gent persons. He holds that 1t is the
duty of relatives of children to support
them. but where they cannot, from
force of circumstances, it devolves on
the county.
According to the Great Falls Leader,
the pay roll of the Stockett coal mines
Saturday was the largest in the his
tory Of that camp, as a result OF the
late increase in the mine output there.
The sum paid out aggregated about
$50, 600. being second in Cascade coun-
ty to the pay roll of the Boston Il
Montana smelter.
The annual commencement of the

Allottins Flathead Lands.

MlssOuLA, May L.. Allotting
Agent John X. Rankin, who is in
charge of the work of allotting lands
to the Indians of the Fathead reser.
walton, which is 10 be thrown open to
settlement, was in Missoula for q
short time today. Mr.. Rankin, who
was commissioned by the government
,o work on the Nathead, said that he
had not yet outlined his plans for the
allotment work, and could give moth.
ing to the public at this time in the
shape of definite information respect,
ing the time he would be employed on
the reserv alton.
IL has often been stated that the al.
lottment of lands to the Flathead In
dians would be made inside of six
months. Mr.. Rankin states that he
believes it is beyond the bounds of
possibility to complete the allottments
inside of that period. 1t is more
probable that the work will take up q
years time. There are approximate
~ 400 Indians to whom lands are to
be given, and it is going to require
considerab ole time to settle with all
these people ia q satisfactory manner.
Col. Rankin says, however, the al
lottment work will be rushed to com.
pletion with all possible dispatch. He
will start out with a force of about
ten men, most of whom will be lu-
dians. Col. Rankin is a man of con-
siderable experience in dealing with
the Indians. He just recently com
| pleted the work of allotting lands to
the 800 Indians on the Crow reser-
walton. Before his work there he was
employed about eleven years on vari.
Gus reservations throughout the west.
