Montana Wool Growers Meet.

HELENA, Oct. 3.-Between seventy
hve and one hundred hockmasters of
the state were present this morning at
the second days session of the second
annual convention of the Montana
wool Growers associ alton, which is
meeting in the Unitarian church.
There were two addresses delivered
and then a general discussion was TAX.
en- up which will be resumed at the
last days session tomorrow.
The addresses we're delivered by
senator Thomas H. Carter and T. j.
Walsh. and both dealt with the ad-
ministration of the forest reserves and
the proposition of leasing the public
ranges of the west.
Senator Carter declared he was in
favor OF forest preservation, but not
OF range regulation nor the charging
OF a fee for grazing stock on the
ranges. He commended that it was
most unfair to the west to force its
citizens to bear the burden when the
settlers of the middle eastern and 9th.
er states were ' forced to bear the
same burden.

A Rich Mineral District.
Zortman Miner,

The more this country is prospected,
the more certain it becomes that it IL
destined TO become a remarkable
gold producer. The geological sur
vey shows a wide mineral belt entirely
around Little Rookie, with numerous
deposits within the heart shaped
circle, which is all of thirty miles in
extent aud If we study the location
OF the present discoveries, it will be
seen that they occupy the position
selected for them ou the survey map.
AS time and investigation goes
on, this circle will become a chain of
mines aud it will occasion 10 surprise
to hear that good ore has beer found
at any poin, along the belt. 1t is just
a little question of digging and in
many cases even that is not necessary
as it will be found from the grass roots
down, as ia the cas- Of the Ruby and
most other discoveries of the district.
There are miles and miles of this belt
yet wholly unexplOred.

He smiled and resumed:--
THE cough is easily cured if the

The antiquarys book was called
"Culpeppers School of Physdck. or
The Experimental Practice of the

Culpepper, and the date Of its publl-
cation 1923. For the volume, which
was first edition, the antlquary's
price was G15.
He read from the book the follow
ing odd extracts:

Widows In Paris appear to be
dhout ten times more easily consola-
ll' than widowers, says London
Telegraph. Out Of 1907 derelict lad
les on whom statisticians keep an eye
after their husbands demise, only
three were left still lone and mourn
Ing after eighteen months had passed
By. Out OF 2,270 widowers, thirty
seven remained unconsoled, or had
enough in one go at the lottery. One
hundred and forty-eight had not the
grace to wait until the year was out
to remarry; 62S did wait a year, but
took second wives Immediately af-
terward, All those who married
again had done 1t before three years
had gone by. Apparently If wild
over can wait three years he is safe
and falls into the minority, which In
this case was thirty-seven of those
for whom once is enough. After d.
Yorce, on the contrary, the ladies are
mr2h more shy than the men about
entering the bonds again. Out of TIT
women whose marriages had been
dissolved seventy-nine still shrank
from trying the experiment again af-
ter nine years had elapsed. Out OF
$50 men, 109 married again as soon
as they possibly could-immediatel
after the decree became absolute
All those who did make fresh start
In wedlock had done so within two
years from their divorce.

BAER LEADS FIGHT
FOR THE RAILROADS.
Reading President Has Prepared an EIabs-
rate Argument Against 2-Cent Fare Bill.

The railroad companies are not
going 10 allow tie Legislature to
pass trolley freight, 2.cent fare and
other proposed measures without
fight. George +. Baer, president
of the Reading Company, has pre-
pared monograph explaining con-
d,icns of the railway business.
This will he presented to the Leg
islature as an argument against the
passage of a proposed 2-cent fare
bill.
The theme OF the elaborate treat
les is that the Reading is actually
losing money on its passenger ser.
vice
AS prepared under the supervis-
ion of President Baer the statement
goes into the railway situation in
detail. 1t is said to be the most
elaborate presentation of the subject
from the view point of the railroads
that has ever been prepared. In
short, it shows by statistics that the
railroads cannot meet a fiat rate of
cents for passenger traffic.
The Pennsylvania, it is said, is
cooperating with the Reading in
the appeal to The Legislature not to
force the railroads to reduce fares.
The Dunsmore bill, providing a q
cent hat rate is up for fual passage
in the House this week.

the pass, 12,500 feet, at 1890 a. IN.
Our coolies begged to remain, but
were refused, and at a height of
5000 feet several of them collapsed
with a mountain sickness and rent
the air with their wailings. Despite
our care OF them, we were compelled
to bivouac at $500 feet on mar
row, wind-swept ledge. 1t was O
grewsome camp, with room for only
one small tent.
At 4.30 next morning, with the
mercury at 26 degrees, we broke
camp. The ascent was shary and
dangerous, owing to the uncertain
footing directly over a valley 5000
feet below.
Twelve hours of hard climbing
brought us to the rope bridge span
ming the river before Askole.
Askole had been called the end Of
the world, not inaptly, the designa-
ton applying to seven villages scat
tered throughout the remote valley.
The Biafo and Baltoro glaciers,
for exploring which Askole Is the
starting point, are said to be the
largest glacier outside Of the Arctic
regions. Our plan was to follow up
the former some forty miles to It's
origin at Hispar pass and return to
Askole. The only European who ever
crossed Hispar pass was Sir Martin
Conway, in 1892.
For the benefit of those who may
not have ascended to attitudes

dreaming of the attempt here are
