SURVEY ORHEEssE:Es
Public Domain to be Survey

A vast amount OF the public do

Custer and Dawson counties is to

tisement now Tunning III the
Weekly Journal calls for bids on
this work and gives a description
of the land to be surveyed from
which it is learned that the pro-
posed work extends east and west
nearly 200 miles and north and
south about 100 miles, extending
east from Huntly to the state line
and north from the base line to the
township tier in which Glendiye
is located. OF course this does
not mean that all this vast area
100 200 miles is to be surveyed,
as much Of it--a half, probably
more-is already surveyed, but
scattered ell throughout are town
ships here and there that perhaps
have only exterior lines run, and
many that have not even that
much Of Identification, and from
the description given in the ad-
vertisement referred to, it looks
very much as il the government
has decided upon making a cleaii
up of the surveys in this section
and to do it at once.
This is something that has
been very much needed for years
past. For reasotis that we're very
satisfactory to those in control,
the public surveys have progressed
very leisurely in eastern Montana
and for years past, even before the
'sooners" began to come in, sett.
lers were very much distressed
and embarrassed by inability tt
tell within dozen miles of 'where
they were att" and whole lot ol
good money has been squandered
in the endeavor to perfect erron
eous locations. Presuming the
surveys now ordered and being
advertised are to make cleanup

WOOL OUTLOOK BETTER

The wool outlook is appearing
much better noW than for some
time past. Although sheep are
clipping a large percent heavier
this year than they have for a
number Of years, there has been a
general depression on account Of
the low market price on wool.
A scarcity of the long staples
exists is declared in corrobora-
ton Of this, it is pointed out that
American buyers are heavy pur-
chasers of foreign markets and have
to pay II cents duty to bring it
in.
Woolgrowers near Helena declare
that wool will bring between Is and
20 cents if they band together and
do not allow the buyers to frighten
them.
The Fort Benton River Press
has the following to say in regard
tothe situation:
That there has been improvement
in the wool situation, On the Bos-
ton market was the substance Of a
telegram received in this city by
f. r. Peters, of the big wool firm
Of Hallowell, Mcdonald & CO.
who has been i'll the city some time
looking into the Montana condi-
tions. Mr.. Peters was notified
that there had been a marked
increase in the number and size
Of the sales during the past few
days and that q better feeling
was existing among the dealers and
consumers.
According to the word received
from Billings, the clip Of the Sni
dow Sheep company has just beer
sold at that place to Dewey, Goulo
& compans at l41 cents. The sizt
Of this clip is not known here, bu
it is thought to range between so
1000 and $4,000 pounds. The clil
is one of the fancy clips of th'
Billings market and brought q
cents last year. The Billings mar
ket is not yet opened and this sal,
is NEARLY one Of the usual advance
deals. Review.
