Musselshell News: Frank Goss, of
Lewistown, came over Wednesday to
make arrangements preparatory to
putting in the electric light plant.
Great Falls Tribune: Fred W..
Putnam, the we'll known Boston
wool buyer, whose pessimistic inter
views concerning the wool situation
in Montana have been widely pub
lished by the press of the state, has
been grabbing everything in sight in
the Judith Basin, and it is reported
from Lewistown that he has closed
up contracts for the purchase of a
number of the choicest clips in Fer
gus county, aggregating l,5OO,OOO
pounds. The prices have in each in
stance been kept secret, but it is
given out that they run from 2 to 4
cents less than last years figures.
While Mr.. Putnam may believe that
Montana wool is going to bring from
II to Is cents this season, and that
there will be very little demand for
it, as he is quoted as saying, he has.
apparently. not waited to see his
statements verified, but has been
making hay quite vigorously before
competition became too keen. There
are certain woolgrowers in the Ju-
dith basin who have the reputation
of annually selling their clips at a
good figure and allowing it to leak
out that they parted from their pro-
drct at much lower price than
they really received. 1t is alleged
that this is done under a secret
agreement with certain of the wool
buyers, who can afford to pay a good
price for few clips if smaller grow
ers can be made to believe that the
price paid for them is low.

the classes who wear the cheaper
grades OF clothing, and they could
not or did not purchase, leaving the
stock OF short staple therefore touch
ed only lightly, hence there being al
ready surplus of this wool on hand,
the prcie offered for wool in the ter
ritory south OF here where it is grown
is low, as the demand is not strong.
ON the contrary, as to Montana
staple wool, it was practically all sold
before the financial stringency came
on, and the machines used for the
manufacture of this wool did not to
the same extent stop running as did
the Others, but kept on and the supply
was used up and there is now a much
shorter supply of this kind Of wool;
the kind there is no surplus of; the
kind there is the greatest demand for:
the kind that is imported, and the
kind the manufacturers are obliged to
have, and they are either forced to
come here and buy it and pay the
Montana growers his price for it or
they will have to import it. There
will be more difference this year than
ever between the price of clothing
and staple woods and this should re-
suit to the great advantage of the
Montana wool grower.
"By the foregoing we do not wish
to be understood as arguing that the
price of Montana wool will be as high
as it was last year, but we do wish
to be understood as saying that the
low prices now being paid in the
states south of here is no criterion
whatever for the price that should be
received for Montana staple wool this
year"

chise. The only difficulty seen
by Rhodes in projecting rail
way system is that the other
franchises cover the vicinity of
the Southern Pacific depot pref
ty thoroughly.
1t will be difficult to secure a
right-of way. from Albany to
Brownsville.
In the event the Albany
Brownsville road is built, it is
said that Rhodes will secure the
rights-of-way heretofore granted
J. S. Talbot for a railroad up the
Calapooia River from Browns
vile to Charlottesville. Talbot
has secured deeds Jor a right-of-
way for the line for a distance of
10 miles, the deeds being in es-
crow in the Bank of Brownsville
to become the property of the
company if the railroad is in op-
Grafton by Aug. 1, 1909. Talbot
has begun a general survey for
the line and is planning to build
it at once, but negotiations are
said to be in prrgress for the
purchase of the rights of-way
from Talbot by Rhodes and his
associates, the consummation of
the deal depending on the secur-
ing of a franchise in Albany and
the building of the Albany

OREGON STATE FAIR.
Live Stock EXHIBITS to be Record
Breakers.

To have a state fair wishout a
live stock department would be
like a circus without horses and
bareback riders or clowns. The
Oregon State Fair, to be held at
Salem on September 14-19, next,
will be record breaker in the
matter of livestock exhibits if
one may judge from the letters
of inquiry for space with the
secretary, Frank A, Welch, is re-
ceiving daily at present. The
usual large herds of former ex-
hibits will be on the ground and
there will be new breeders num-
bered among those seeking hon.
or and the ribbons. Harry West,
the Jersey breeder at Scappoose,
Columbia county, is going to be
out in full force with his string
of heavy cream producers, Of
which ten have lately been pur-
chased by him in Indiana, the
cost price being $4,000. They
are of rich blood, and Mr.. West
will give all other Jerseymen a
lively rub for the premiums.
W. G. Morrow and A, F. Domes,
of the Willamette Valley, will be
numbered among the Jersey
br. .eders who will be showing
their cattle for the first time at
the state fair and there are 9TH
ers, too. D. H. Looney, of jeff
erson, is among the entries with
his splendid Jerseys and Guern-
seys, The Atkinsons, of New
berg, have made requition for
space for their Jerseys, which
were not at the fair of 1907 ow-'
ing to other matters which pre-
vented them making a display.
The Holstein breeders will be
right up in front, also, for P. A.
Frakes, OF Columbia county, and
John L. Smith, Of near Spokane
Washington, are coming with
their black and white animals
who fill the milk pals to over
flowing, and there will be other
Holsteins which cannot be men
toned now owing to lack space.
In the short horn class will be
found the great big animals of
Frank Brown, which were for
merly owned by Charles Ladd.
Mr.. Browns reputation as a
breeder of Shorthorns is known
far and wide and he will have
something rich for the judges to

new ROAD PLANNED.
Trolley Line From Albany To
Brownsville.

The Albany Herald says an
electric line from Albany to
Brownsville a distance of twenty
two miles, is being projected by
E. H. Rhodes, a local capitalist.
He also plans to build a street
railway system in the city, and
if franchises are secured, he will
begin work Immediately. Local
capital is behind both enterpris-
es and other local men, whose
names have not yet been made
public, are associated in the
project with Rhodes.
"We have the money assured"
said Rhodes today. That part
of the proposition is settled.
The rood will be built if we can
secure the necessary franchises
and rights-of-way."
Rhodes will apply to the AL
bany City Council at its next
meeting Tuesday evening for a
franchise to cover some local
streets with a city railway sys-
tenn. There are already two
street railway franchises cover
ing local streets, but it is be-
lieved Rhodes and his associates
may be successful in gaining
permission to use some streets in
view OF the fact that III. Hirsh-
berg, who owns one franchise,
orerltes a horsecar onlvs and
that A. Welch, who secured a
Ira.ohIse covering several streets
has done nothing butstring piles
Of tiles and Il few rails along
