HON, WIN. LINDSAY
OF Ciendive will Not Run
For Governor Nomination

Journal -Ang. 27-Wm. Lind
say Of Glendive, who has been a
prominent candidate for the guber-
material nomination before the re-
publican state convention, an
nounced today that he would not
be a candidate before that body
for any office. The formal an
nonncement follows:
The use of my name with others
in the discussion Of possibles
candidates for the office Of governor
this year calls for some definite
statement Of purpose from me a
this time, in view Of the near
approach of the convention season.
This action is due to the many
loyal friends in all parts Of the
state who> have given assurance
of support in the event Of my
becoming a candidate, as well as
to those party associates who have
been persuaded to become avowed
candidates for the position.
''Deeply sensible Of and grateful
for the high honors which the re.
publicans Of Montana have given
to me in the past, I feel that the
first and most important duty before
me now is to do what [ can to best
promote party harmony and party
success in the coming contest.
These ends, ! am convinced, will
be more surely reached by avertine
convention conflicts for nomination
which might easily develop faction
al strife within the party to ami
mosities or indifference in election.
"After full consideration Of the
subject and the situation [ have
determined that I will not be a
candidat for the office Of governor
or any other office in the coming
compaign. There is neither mock,
modesty nor fear Of defeat in this
conclusion. I have had aspirations
foi the position with knowledge
that it is the highest and most
honorable ambition which can be
entertained by any citizen of the
state, and I have experienced de-
feat without being soured or embit-
tered in allegiance to party or pub
lie interests. It is my firm belief
that the party ought to win and
will win in Montana this year, and
l sincerely hope and exyect that
all my political friends will join me
in purpose and use every energy AID
effort in their power to accomplish
that result

understand that they are permitted
to consign their cattle through with
out unloading, providing they are
put in cars with provisions for feed
and water. We advise all who can
to follow this plan, as it is greatly
to their interest to do SO.
A good illustration Of this was
the shipment Of 81 cars Of cattle to
US one day last week by the Judith
Mercantile and Cattle 90. (owned
by Senator T.C. Power Of Montana)
and the Shonkin Stock Association
from Big Sandy, Mont. These
cattle we're loaded in cars provided
with feed and water facilities, and
came the whole distance - 1892
miles - to Chicago without being
unloaded. They arrived in good
condition, and sold $5@6 per head
to better advantage than did some
others that were unloaded twice
en- route.
DON'T CONGEST SUPPLIES.
Buyers cannot possibly handle
such congested runs Of western
cattle without great detriment to
the interests Of shippers. This
applies equally as we'll to congest-
ed runs Of range sheep or lambs.
Feast and famine supplies in
variably result N great monetary
loss to the shippers. We advise
our customers to divide up their
shipments, SO that more Of their
stock can be landed on Wednesday
and Thursday market. BY spread
ing the supplies of cattle, sheep
or lambs more equally throughout
the week there is much less chance
of buyers being able to dominate
the trade, and at the same time
create a competition among them
that is not at all possible under
fast runs.

CONTINUED DEPRESSION
 IN COPPER PREDICTED
Iron Age Says Red Metal Is Barometer of TimeS-An-
 other Bad Year.

In a careful article on copper pro duction and the effect on the price of the metal the Iron Age this week comes to the conclusion that the pres ent depression in the price will hold for at least a year and possibly two years.
 The annual production of copper ln the United States has shown a de crease, compared with the previous year, but five times since the industry became an important one. When the ups and downs of trade @7e considered, and even in view of t.re decrease in make of pig iron in good years and bad, this may be deemed remarkable. The statement recently made that pig iron has ceased to be the trade baronl eter and copper is now a truer index of general conditions, gains force when comparison is made of decrease in cop per production with general trade movements.
 The five years in which copper pro duction has shown decrease were 1872, 1886. 1903, 1901 and 1907. In none of these years, except possibly 1907, was the falling of more than 5 per cent, and in every instance produc- ton increased considerably the next year. While it is true that recovery was slower after the panic, the depres- sion was also more severe.
 The production in the four periods previous to 1907 following so nearly the same general laws that one is al most tempted to speculate on the pro duction in 1907 and 1908. It if may be assumed that the same conditions will repeat themselves, it is found that 95 per cent of 409,000 tons produced in 1906 gives 3S7, 900 tons in 1907, which seems somewhat high, but not unreas- enable in light of what is already known. Tempting fate still further, one finds that the same percentage of increase that occurred in 1894 would give a production of 442,0e0 tons in 1908. The recovery in 1904 was slow CT than on the two preceding and one succeeding instances; so that if the percentage of 1887 and 1902 be used, l 1t gives an estimated production of AS, 1000 tons in 19OS This exceeds but little conservative estimate of today, and with the reopening of the Ana conda mine and the Washoe smelter this week, may prove too low.
 The price question is fully as inter esting; for the high levels were reach ed either in the year of the decreas- ed supply or the one preceding, and tn low levels continued for at least one and in most cases during the two years of recuperation. Is the future for copper producers, users and manu- lecturers to follow along the same lines as during other periods of depression and is production to increase steadily and the price to hover around IA cents for the next year or two?

WILCOX IS EXCITED
 OVER RAIL SHIPMENTS
Predicted That Branch Road
 Will Go Through Town,

Wilcox Ex: The town of Will COX, on the Southern Pacific, is. greatly excited over a shipment of S2 cars of heavy steel rails which are being un- loaded there.
 The natives of the Cochise county town seeing the shipment of rails branch line to be built to some of the mining districts in the vicinity of WILL cox. There has been talk Of a line through the Aravaipa district and also to the Dos Cabezos district, but noth' ing definite has been done thus far.
 Wilcox is also considerably excited at the present time over a big ceiebra' ton which is to be given there on March F. It has been planned to have a real wild west" observance in which cowboy racing and broncho bust ing will form the leading features.
 The celebration is being given in honor of Bud Snow, one of the Arizo- na pioneers, who is we'll known in the territory. He is an Irishman and was naturalized 4S years ago, on March r, and consequently the cele. bration is to be given in his honor.

 Today's short session shows the market strong and active and further gains along the entire list. In the New York market the leaders ad- vanced two to three points on the strengthening of confidence. The week has seen events shape entirely in favor of security values.
 The coSpers have also been steady all day with some good gains in the listed issues, as well as the curbs, which show frmness, with fractional gains throughout the list.
 Globe and Superior & Pittsburg were in good demand, and closed strong Shattuck also came up lit tie. Denn, Warren and American are quiet, with little change.
 The wind-up of today's trading had a good tone, and we expect to see the same condition prevail at the open ing Monday morning. but look for a set back before the end of the week.

AmaE gamated, North Butte, c. & A., Supc rior & Pittsburg and Old Dominion were among the leaders in way of ad- vancement. Copper metal having ad' vanced an eighth on two different oc- casions this week and Butte having opened up, it gives the market cheerful appearance. Our advice to the public is to get locals before fur- ther advance takes place.

IMPROVEMENT CONTINUES IN
 THE MARKET
Coppers Beginning to Reflect Substantial Advances In Railroads and lndustrials of Past Few Days.
(BY Frank J. Grail

Ab1 ITduh J. NEdAst
 The advance of the last two days was continued today and the close of the week shows the markets in good shape. From the action of the market it seems that confidence has been restored for a while at least and it looks as if a better market may be expected. New York stocks were exceptionally strong and all show good advances over last week, railroads being the strongest on the list. With this advance in the New Yorks it is but natural that the cop pers should follow and the more ac- tive of the Boston stocks are show ing nice advances. Calumet & Ari- zona, Amalgamated. North Butte, Old Dominion, Utah Consolidated and Copper Range were the most active ones and stocks are not being offered as freely as they have been, which makes trading difficult. With the ex- ception of Shattuck and Superior the curbs has not as yet responded to the general movement, but if the ad- vance continues they will naturally be traded in and better pricesswill re suit Superior & Pittsburg has held firm the entire week and while there are plenty of bidders in the market the stock is hard to locate at the pres ent prices. Shattuck has also shown good strength and any offerings at these prices are quickly picked up.
 Among the lower priced stocks, Denn is being bought for an invest ment, and considerable sales were made at 1-2 to 5-S. From the tone of the market at the close we would not be surprised to see better prices the coming week and invest ors should not wait too long before picking up their stocks.

 NEW YORK, March 1.-The mar ket continued to advance and trading was on a broader scale. The im- proyement in sentiment and in trade conditions has served to convert a great many to the buying side and the scarcity of offerings has resulted in sharp advances all along the list.

 Some realizing was noted in the railroad list, but we think as a whole the disposition to take profits at this time is not considered opportune.
