about 100 and it is being systemati-

D. Kane and Johnny Warner made a
record breaking trip to Windham and
back in Mr.. Woodman's big auto
mobile yesterday Warner was at the
throttle and the powerful engines
never were in better working order.
There was light skiff of snow on
the ground but that did not cause the
motorists to lose any time.
They left here exactly at 9 o'clock
in the morning, were in Windham at
IL o'clock, remained there two hours
and were back in town shortly before
3 o'clock.
They returned by way of Utica,
covering the 81 miles in one hour and
81 minutes, about as good time as
ives ever made for the distance over
Montana country roads.
The trip was made for the purpose
of seeing what headway is being
made at Windham on the building
which is to be occupied by branch
store of the Fergus County Hardware
Co. That company is putting up a
substantial stone business building
and expect to open up shortly after

With the Woolgrowers.
The year just closing was salts
factory one for the woolgrowers of
Ferrous county There were few losses
during the winter and the lambing
season was favorable. Wool was Of
flne quality and most of it was
brought into the market in good
shape.
Several Of the largest clips were
sold early in the year, bringing good
prices. About 100000 pounds were
sold on the local open market and
the price averaged close to 20 cents
per pound. While this was hardly as
much as was received last season, it
lett fine margin of profit for the
grower
The wool shipments from Lewis
town during the year amounted TO e.
739O66 pounds. At an average of 20
cents per pound this wool brought to
the woolgrowers the very respectable
sum of $547,8l3 AT least one million
pounds Of Fergus county wool was
marketed at Great Falls and Billings.
This at the same price would bring
the total amount of money received
by the wOolgrower of the county up
to three-quarters of million dollars.
Although the number of sheep sold
during the year did not come I'D to
the Dig figures established last year,
4 large number were sent out of the
county. Prices never before paid for
range sheep were offered for bands of
Fergus "woolies." and some of the
growers disposed of their surplus to
fine advantage. The record price of
the year was the $3.50 per head which
J. D. Waite paid for $4,000 Sage
Green Sheep company lambs.
Despite the enormous number of
sheep which have been sold out of
the cunty during the last two years,
Assessor Marshall found 4l4,896 sheep
and lambs in the county when he
made his rounds last spring. While
the restriction of the open range by
new settlers is causing some Of the
largest woolprowers to quit the bus
mess and others to cut down the size
of their focks, Fergus is yet one of
the most important counties in the

Record Breaking Crops Of Grain---High Tide in
the History Of Wool Growing Industry
Much Railroad Building.

An epoch making period in the life
of Fergus county in many ways is
this year Of 1907, now about to pass
into history. When the book of pro-
gress is closed, two weeks from this
date, it will be found that there is a
good balance to the credit of the In
land Empire. It has been a twelve
months of growth and success. 1t
marks the greatest advance yet made
by Fergus county in a single year
toward that glorious destiny which
so surely awaits her.
No attempt will be made here to
give complete critical history of
Fergus county for the year 1907. The
time has been lacking for the collec-
ton of such statistics as would be
necessary for such an accomplish
ment. We shall deal largely in gen.
eralities, throwing in such figures as
we have been able to collect since this
article was first conceived, some ten
days ago.
Great American Desert.
When Fergus county was organiz-
ed, twenty-one years ago, there were
number of we'll established stock
ranches along the Judith river for
distance OF forty or fifty miles. Other
stock ranches were to be found along
Cottonwood, Beaver and Spring
creeks. There was a small settlement
on the present site of Lewistown and
P. w. Meadow was just getting
ready to take a cool million from the
famous Spotted Horse. Maiden and
Utica were the lively towns of the
new county and the country was, by
very large majority Of people, con-
sidered utterly worthless for any pur-
pose other than mining and stock
raising.
Between the Judith and Beaver
creek was lonely reach of barren
land from ten to fifteen miles across
and extending for twenty miles from
the river to the foothills of the Snowy
mountains. Arid, dusty, forbidding in
the summer months, swept by an al
most inceasing gale in the wintry
months, avoided by man, considered
worthless even for the grazing Of
sheep. desolate, worthless, a typical
part of the "Great American Desert"
Such was the Rock creek bench con-
sidered when Fergus county was
named over twenty years ago and
such was it considered for more than
ten years thereafter.

comparatively, as the wheat crop.
From the best figures obtainable,
there were some 5000 acres of oats
sown and the total yield about 4OO,-
OOO bushels, an average of a. IL
bushels per acre.
All Sections Contribute.
Reports of these wonderful grain
yields come from every part Of Fer
gus county where there is any pre-
tense made to engage III the ranching
business.
Rock Creek bench alone produced
100000 bushels Of grain. There were
some great fields on Cottonwood and
Beaver creek benches. Alaska bench
contributed its share. From the foot
hills Of the Snowies, the Judiths and
the Moccasins come reports of rec
ord breaking crops. In the valleys
Of Spring creek and the Judith river
thousands of bushels we're threshcd.
The Price Situation.
The only unsatisfactory feature of
the crop year is the condition of the
right, there bein~ good demand for
grain at prices ranging from 80 to 90
cents per bushel and cent per
pound for oats. A shortage of one
hundred million bushels in this coun-
try and crop failures in several of the
great grain growing countries Of the
Old World, led, naturally, to the be.
lief that prices would go still higher.
But in the early days Of Novem-
Der the great Wall street panic struck
the country and the props were
knocked from under the eastern
wheat market which controls the To-
cal situation TO very great degree.
To add to the misfortune of Fergus
county grain growers, the railroads
boosted the freight rate on grain
from Fergus county to eastern mill
ing centers 10 cents per hundred.
The rate, IS cents per hundred, was
already exorbitant The increase, in
conjunction with the unsettled state
of eastern money affairs, closed the
market down.
For the last two weeks the Mon
tana Elevator company, the only
purchasers in the Fergus county field
have been buying grain, paying from
60 to 65 cents per bushel for wheat
and abut 90 cents per hundred for
oats.
Comparatively little of the grain
dreds of granaries are filled to over
flowing with No. wheat, the finest
quality of oats, the owner waiting
for turn for the better in the mar
ket. If the turn comes, as now seems

where Dram Was KILLED
Sheepherder Makes Important Discovery Relating
to Murder Of Unfortunate Railroad Grader
.--Dsproves Robbery Theory.

A sheepherder in the employ of ].
B. Long & Co., last Friday accident
ally stumbled onto the spot where
the very mysterious murder of T. O.
Dram, a B. & N. railroad grader, was
committed last October.
While attending to his duties, the
herder started across an old buffalo
wallow and there found an outer
shirt, an undershirt knife and
watch. The watch contained Oram's
initials and was easily identified.
Deputy Sheriff Whitcomb of Stan
ford was informed of the discovery
and went out there and looked the
ground over. The things were found
about one and one-half miles from
the place where Oram's mutilated
body was discovered nearly two
months ago.
Acting under instructions from
Sheriff Martin. the shirts, knife and
watch were sent to this city, coming
in ON the Great Falls coach yesterday
morning.
There is no blood on the outer
shirt but the undershirt is stained
in several places. The knife appears
to have blood stains on it but it will
probably require microscopical ex-
animation to definitely determine
