Bulgarian Is Missing.

People living around Straw are
making an effort to get some track
OF a Bulgarian railroad grader who
disappeared one week from last Sun
day night from Camp 9, near Straw.
The man, whose name we are unable
to secure, was confined to his bed
with an attack of fever. Sometime
between II and o'clock Sunday
night he got out of bed and got
away before his watchers became
aware of his absence. He was very
scantily clad, having on only his
night clothes, an overshirt and
cap.
H. E. Gaugler, the Straw mer-
chant, and Contractor Corey have
been using every effort to locate the
man but with no success. 1t is fear
ed that he might have succumbed to
the cold weather. Any information
leading to his location will be CRATE
fully received by Mr.. Gaugler, Mr..
Corey or the Bulgarian laborers
along the railroad

ABANDON lecture COURSE

Feeling no disposition to any
longer buck" the hoodoo which has
beset the movement ever since it was
started early last season, the Lewis
town Lecture club have finally
thrown up the sponge and the peo-
pie of Lewistown will miss a-num-
Der of fine numbers which had been
planned for the present season.
During both last season and this,
disappointment has followed disap-
pointment but the club management,
after every swat from Mr.. Hoodoo's
shillelah, went in with all the more
zeal after the next number, only to
receive another biff.
OF the eighteen or twenty fine
numbers arranged for by the club
for the two seasons, only four or five
at the most have been given. A
variety of causes, including snow
blockades, death, cold feet" and
failures.
The courses have included such
men as Ian MacLaren, w. ]. Bryan,
Senator Tillman and Senator Taylor
Bryan had to quit before he got this
far into Montana Ian MacLaren got
sick in Helena and, a few days later,
died in a small Iowa town while on
his way back to his home in Scot
land. Senator Ti1lman was bluffed
out by the long ride up from Lom-
bard.
But the straw which dislocated the
dromedary's vertebrae was a tele-
gram received last Thursday from
Senator, "Fiddling Bob" Taylor of
Tennessee. Sen. Taylor was to have
appeared last NIGHT but was called

Market Re'estabIished In This City And Moore
Yesterday By The Montana Elevator Com.
Concession In Freight Rate.

The Montana Elevator company
yesterday morning resumed the buy
ing of wheat on the local markets
here and at Moore, "a cents being
paid for No. hard wheat. Fifteen
or twenty loads of grain was brought
i'll yesterday and considerable guam
titv is coming along today. Arrange
ments have been made by the ele-
vator company for the disposal Of a
limited quantity of wheat and buying
will be continued here at least until
this contract is filled If by that
time, the general market has not
opened up, an effort will be made by
the local company to secure another
contract of the same sort on the best
possible basis.
Freight Rate Reduced.
c. r. McClave, manager Of the
Montana Elevator comapny, came
into this city Saturday night, having
just returned from trip to Helena
and ST. Paul. Mr. McClave's trip
was for two-fold purpose: To make
arrangements to sell some wheat
and to endeavor to secure reduc-
ton in the ruinous freight rate from
Lewistown and Moore and the east
ern grain markets. Mr.. McClave was
successful in both instances.
After having secured contract
for some wheat as stated above he
called on General Freight Agent
Craig Of the Northern Pacific and
held an extended consultation. The
matter was thoroughly threshed out
and as a result of the conference, a
reduction OF eight cents per hun
dred was granted by the railroad
company. This brings the rate to
AZ cents per hundred, but two cents
higher than it was before the ten
cent raise went into effect a few
weeks ago.
Attitude of Railroad.
Mr. Craig informed the Fergus
desirous of doing everything possible
to enable the farmers Of Montana to
get their wheat to the market in the
east SO long as there is no local
market. Conditions in the freight
department of the road are now
Greatly improved and there will be
no difficulty in securing cars for eth
er grain or cattle shipments. In this
connection. it may be stated, that
cars are also now available for the
shipment of lumber to the local lum-
Der dealers for the first time in sew
eral months.
Local Situation Good.
The local financial situation is CON
sidered satisfactory. The stringency
in the eastern money market has had
the effect of tightening things up
somewhat but the local banks are
easily taking care of all their GUS
toners. A Democrat reporter has
interviewed many of the local bus

Work On Santiago.

Splendid progress is being made
on the work of getting the big San
tiago ore body in the Kendall district
connected with the Kendall mill.
The big trestle which crosses the
gulch between the two properties
will soon be completed unless there
IS a delay on account Of lumber.
This trestle is 62 feet high for a por-
ton Of the distance. They have
about As feet to run in order to COM
plete the 27O foot tunnel through the
ridge just below the Kendall mill.
The track, when completed, will be
5000 feet in length. All Of the nee
essary steel is on the ground. The
motor which will propel the cars
from the Santiago to the mill has
been ordered and has been promised
before the first Of the year Just as
quickly as it arrives, everything will
be in readiness for handling the ore.
a large number Of men are now en-
ployed by the Santiago and this force
will be increased when the actual
work Of mining and milling the ore
is begun.

The Montana Railroad commission
has been endeavoring to make some
arrangements whereby the passenger
service between Helena and Lewis
town may be remedied. The COM
mission permitted the Northern Pa
ci6c road to have its own way in the
matter of discontinuing the stubs
Nos. and 8, much to the disappoint-
ment of the people who have oc-
casion to travel on the Montana rail
road. They are now trying to offset
this blunder and have partially sue
ceeded by securing the services of
a sleeping car which will be attached
to the Logan stub leaving Helena at
midnight. This sleeper will be open
for passengers at 9 o'clock in the
evening who are going to change at
Lombard. When it gets to the latter
station, it will be switched off and
will remain on the track at Lombard
until the Lewistown train leaves.
There is considerable agitation in
favor of the plan mentioned in the
Democrat last week, whereby the
train which leaves this place every
morning will go on through to
Helena, remaining there all night
and restarting for Lewistown early
enough to get in here on schedule
time.
The local passenger time table
has been changed, No. 22, the incom-
ing train, now leaving Lombard at
$50. arriving at Summit at 11:l6 and

ness men and finds them satisfied
with the business. All of them be-
lieve that the present slump is but
temporary and that the volume of
trade will show healthy increase
from now on. They all expect to do
big holiday business and all are in
position to take care Of it. Collec-
tons have kept up fairly well and
money is comparatively easy.
Eastern Money.
Several stockmen who have recent
ly returned from the east where thew
went with stock shipments. have
brought with them clearing house
certificates, which they received from
the stockyard men. This particular
brand Of money" is quite plentiful
in all parts of the east and in some
cities of Montana but is decidedly
rare N Fergus county
All things considered, fair prices
are being received for the cattle ship
ped 70 the eastern market. Over rs
per cent Of the beef cattle in Fergus
county will be carried over until next
year. however, owing to the inability
to secure cars.
Woolgrowers Serene.
The present situation is not dis
turbing the woolgrewcrs a great
deal All of the old crop Of wool
has been cleaned up and it is an
ticipated that everything will be
cleared up before the next season
rolls around. The price Of sheep has
slumpcd along with everything else
but there are no sheep for sale in
Fergus county.
