BUFFALO HERD SOLD
TO CANADA
Famous Allard Band Will Go
Across The Country
In May.

Word was received in Missoula yes
! terday from Howard Eaton of Wolf
Wyo., that the Canadian government
has paid deposit for the purchase
of the Allard buffalo herd on the Flat
head reservation says the Missoulian.
There are nearly 500 animals left in
the hero and the price which Canada
has agreed to pay for them is said tc
be $I5O,OO0. Mr.. Eaton states that the
bulls will be moved to Canada early
next month and the cows and calves
will be sent north as soon as the calves
are old enough to travel. This will
probably be in July or August.
The removal of this famous herd
from Montana is generally regretted,
especially as it is to pass from the
United States. 1t is the largest and
most famous buffalo herd in the
world and it is unfortunate that it
could not have been kept in the United
States. The opening of the reserva-
tion made it's removal from the Mis-
sion valley range necessity, but a
strong effort was made to have the
government purchase the animals and
set aside a reservation somewhere for
its maintenance and pres ervatiou.
The negotiations failed, however, and
the Canadian government has seized
upon the plum.
The herd was established by the late
Charles Allard, when he was in part
nership with Michel Pablo. In 1894
it was increased by the purchase of
the Jones herd of Kansas, which was
driven overland to the reservation.
Since then the animals have thrived
on the range of the Mission valley
and the herd has largely Increased in
numbers. Since the death of Mr.. AL.
lard, Mr.. Pablo has sold many animals
to Ease geological gardens, two
large shipments having been made to
the Corbin preserve in New Hamp-
shire and to a private park in Michi-
gan. City parks in the East have
secured fine specimens.
Howard Eaton has been the selling
agent in most of these instances, and
the negotiations which have Just been
closed successfully were made by him.
The price paid will average more than
$500 d head, and the sale is consid-
cred a good one. Western Montana
people will be sorry to see the herd
go, as it has been one of the famous
attractions of this region.

Statement of |. w. w.

We, the committee representing the
l. w: w. Locals, wish to make the
following statements.
In regard to the wage scale aud
conditions of settlement we wish 10
state that the articles in the Nilsson
liam are incorrect.
First-The scale adopted by the
State Federation of Labor, that is re-
ported to be higher than that ofithe I.
w. W., is in reality lower in many
cases.
,Second--1n regards to committees
from both unions meeting in confer
ence this is fact, but we, as I. w. w.
representatives, refused to sign
scale adopted by the following locals:
Bonner, Hamilton, Grant creek, Eddy
and DeBorgia, which left out all l. w.
w. Locals though they are in the
ajority. We are at loss to under
stand why Pres. Fairgrieves should ad-
vocate an International Union for the
workers of Montana, unless he wishes
to dissolve both the l. w. w. and the
State Federation into an International
Lumbermen's union, which would be
chartered from the A. f. of L., an or
ganization which fatty turned down
Mr.. Fairgrieve's plans at the Boston
membered that plan for an Interna-
tional Lumbermen's Union was pro-
posed by Dan Mcdonald at a conven.
ton assembled at Plains, Mont, in
May of last year. Mr.. Fairgrieves
was present at that convention and
fought the deal from start to finish
and was instrumental in killing the
issue, but now comes forward with
the same plan of organization. This
procedure the workers of Montana are
at a loss to understand
We wish to state in regard to the
conference of Saturday night, held in
the First National Bank block, that
the State Federation was represented
but that no mention OF this conference
was made to l. W. w. We wish to
further state that the scale adopted
by the 1. w. w. has not been signed
or recognized by the operators and
that the strike is still on.
Further, We would say that at the
meeting held last night in Union hall
a number of questions were asked Mr..
Fairgrieves. but such questions re-
main unanswered as the speaker, Mr..
left the hall Immediately
after concluding his own remarks.
Fairgrieves stated that half of the
strikers did not know why they were
called out. We wish to correct this
as follows: The scale

AN EARLY SETTLEMENT OF
STRIKE EXPECTED
The Operators Grant Increase of
Wages and ReCede from Sixty Day
Proposition---M. F. l.. Agreeable
But the |. w. w. Dissent.

Although not wheel is turning in
any OF the mills or lumber camps of
| Ravalli, Missoula, Sanders or Granite
counties, the prospect looks good for
an early settlement of the local labor
troubles.
The saw mill operators have granted
the increase of SIS per month to all
hands and have receded from the prop
osition that the men should work 60
days before receiving the benefits of
the new scale. All operators, includ-
ing the Big Blackfoot company, have
signed the new scale as proposed by
the Montana Federation of Labor.
They still refuse, however, to recop nize
the organization known as the Indus
trial Workers of the World.
Nearly all the woodsmen belong to
the /. w. w. while the mill men in
Hamilton and Bonner are members of
the M. F. L. This is where the hitch
comes, as the mills cannot be operated
without logs and the woodsmen will
not work unless their union shall be
recognized. 1t is confidently expected.
however, that an AMIGA BILE settlement
will be arrived at within a few days.
The Hamilton mill shut down Satur-
day, the supply of logs in the pond
having been exhausted.
The A c. M. Co.'s lumber depart
ment has about ten million feet of logs
skidded and decked near Darby and it
is understood that the management
proposes to start the loader and log
ging train next week, employing
M. r. l.. men. This will permit of re-
sumption of work at the big mill. 1t
is said that many of the l. w. w. men
are drifting away, but the operators
expect to fill their places with Fedora
tion men.

adopted by the I. w. w. was placed in
the hands of Committeeman Dwyer
and Bernard and taken to the opera
tors to be signed. Also a vote was
taken among the various 1. w. w.
Locals to the effect that a strike
should be called if the new scale was
rejected by the operators.

The Loss of the Lawson.

1t is singular and tragic fate which
has overtaken the Thomas W. Lawson,
famous in her time as the largest
schooner in the world, later Inundated
by the sending down of her topmasts
and transmogrifcatio into a plebeian
barge, again reclothed with her sails
and sent across with cargo of oil, to
be caught and capsized by tempest
near the stormy Settles, with the loss
of all but three of her crew. And this
happened on Friday, the 18th, which is
the title of Lawson's novel. 1t is a
gruesome coincidence. The Lawson
cleared from Philadelphia Nov. 10th
for London with a cargo of zoos, O63
gallons of gas oil in bulk, valued at
ST., 2O5. OF the crew of IS, including
Pilot Hicks, who boarded the vessel
from life-saver's boat during the night,
only three were rescued. They were
Capt. G.. W. Dow of Melrose, Mass,
Edward E. Rowe, the engineer of Wis
casset, Maine, and George Allen of
Bradford, England. Allen has since
died. Capt. Dow has fractured arm.

Falling eff in Game Receipts.

BANGOR, Dec. Is. The disturbance in
the financial situation, and the long
cold rains of October and November,
have caused marked falling off in
game receipts at this station, according
to returns received at the closing of the
open season on deer at midnight Satur-
day. The figures show 2477 deer, 10
moose and DO bears, as compared with
1867 deer, 1876 moose and 81 bears last
season. Bears have been more plenti-
full, and-while the moose show fall
ing off of Is they have run generally
smaller than usual. The falling off in
the number of deer has been marked,
and the old hunters say it is not due so
much to the smaller number of hunters
this season as to the retreat of the deer
further into the recesses of the great
north woods.

THE VERSE AND VESSEL BUILDER
I An Idyl of Maine. |

An Idyl of Maine.
Jim Webster was shipwrght, down on the
coast of Maine,
With but little education, and of that not
very vain;
But he had some ideas of his own that pam
ned out pretty good
The yachts and vessels that he built did all
he said they would.
Now Jim had poetic instincts, at least he
thought he had,
And many of the verses that he turned out
were not bad;
The ones about the "Church Fire." and the
town folks who were there,
Were good, except they roasted those who
didn't pump" for fair.
Now ''Uncle John" teacher once of music
in the school,
Told Jim that verses, to be good, must all
be writ by rule;
Tho his verses, like his vessels, did all he
said they would,
They couldn't reach the lofty heights his
schoOners' tOpsails could.
He said to jim: "Your meters bad; I'll
show you how to write.
I've got aginatiOn, and can reach poetic
height,
You need the feet and meter, and the dac-
tyls, and so on,
To put life into your verses, and make them
haul ct bon.
"You must get some books on writing,
and drill into your brain
The synonyms and measure, and then start
in and train;
And make the poems like dream, to pierce
a heart of lead,
And trim the whole thing, like a ship,
with a fancy figure head"
But Jim just scratched his head bit,
and looked up at the clock,
And said: "I'd like to see some verse
that came right off the stock
That didn't need some 'caulking,' and
strunnel wedges too,
But to my way of reck ming, my kind of
verse will do.
with thu method have chosen" he said,
"Ill still go on,
For it shows my feelings. plainly, and, in
spite of Uncle john
And his meter, feet and measure, and i'm
aginative brain,
Poems can't be built as yachts are, in the
ShipyardS here in Maine"
