SURE OF BIG
WAREHOUSE
FIockmasters of the Northwest Come Forward
Generously and Help Big Projeet.


now absolutely no douhA of. the erec-
tion of the warehouse.
1t will be a great thing for the
northwestern Woolgrowers, who will
market their own product, selling
their clips direct to the rhanufactur-
ers in the east and thus putting into
their own pockets large amount of
money which has always gone to the
middle men.
This corporation will have it's
own salesmen, will have market
in Chicago, and the best part Of It is
that the woolgrowers themselves
will control things, for they will own,
Sc 2-3 per cent Of the entire stock.
while it was necessary to get
contracts assuring the shiprne1ft Of
25, 100000 pounds of wool to the
warehouse, the concern may handle
as much as 50,000.0o0 pounds even
the first year. The building will cost
about 1926, 900, and when it is not
filled with wool, it can be rented for
storing other commodities, bringing
in revenue which will make it a
good investment even from that
standpoint.
The grading, handling and stor-
ing of the wool will be done by the
most competent men the country af-
fords, and the proposition will not
only be q success, but will be the
greatest thing for the woolgroWer
Of the northwest he has ever gone
into.
Every leading Woolgrower in
Yellowstone county is noW interes-
ted i'll the enterprise and has signed
contract to ship his wool to it. If
there are any growers in this section
who have not done so and want to
get in on the ground floor they will
have to hurry, for they will not
have an opportunity to do SO after
the next three or four days.
Much Of the credit for the sue
cess of the proposition is due to w.
Il. Manss, secretary Of the Associa-
ton of Commerce of Chicago. Mr..
Manss made trip through the
northwest and explained the pur-
poses Of the corporation and set
forth the benefits to the growers in
such clear and convincing manner
that the required amount Of wool
has been secured without diff

4 Billings, Jan. ACCORDING tt
a. C. Logan, one of the leading live
i stock dealers Of eastern Montana,
the establishment Of a national wool
storage warehouse in Chicago fo1
the handling of a large portion OF
i the wool of the northwest is now as
sured. sufficient amount Of wool
has been pledged and representa-
tives from the different states which
will ship their wool to the new en-
terprise, will leave in short time
for Chicago, where a meeting will
be held and board Of directors will
be elected. This board will number
Is, Ct whom nine will come from
the six northwestern states which
are interested in the proposition.
The idea Of a Chicago warehouse
grew out Of meeting Of the execu-
tive committee of the National
Wool Growers association, held last
summer. After considering the mat
ter from every standpoint it was
decided that central storage sys-
tenn, to be operated by the growers
themselves, would meet all necessa-
ry requirements and would be the
most satisfactory method of mar
#keting wool. -@...
i The matter was taken up with
Chicago business men, with the re-
suit that an agreement providing
for the organization of the National
Wool Warehouse and Storage COM
pany, with capital stock Of $780,
900 was reached.
In order to make the venture a
success it was decided that it would
be necessary to contract for 25,000,-
600 pounds of wool to be handled in
and through the central warehouse
the coming season and that amount
has now been secured.
"Montana's part of the necessary
amount is 100000 pounds" said
Mr.. Logan, land contracts have
been signed for all Of it. Billings
and the vicinity will furnish fully
100000 pounds and probably more
than that. have heard from all
other parts of the state and can say
that all of the required amount has
now been pledged by the growers.
All Of the other states, Wyoming,
Idaho. Utah, Oregon and Nevada
have come through with every
pound of their quota, SO there is

destinies of San Francisco as advisor
OF the administration Of Eugene E.
Schmltz, former mayor of the city.
Judgment was pronounced at the
close of a day devoted to legal battle,
wherein the defense sought to intro
duce many reasons for a new trial.
When Judge William P. Lawlor had
denied this and other motions inyolv-
ing delay the defendant arose at the
courts command and stood unmoved
through the recital Of judgment.
There was no demonstration on the
part of the spectators during the pro-
ceedings in the courtroom nor later,
when Ruef, having entered the prison
van in custody of a deputy sheriff,
Started in the dusk on his long ride to
The county jail.
Before the adjournment Of court no.

through period of nearly four months
Ruef was convicted Dec. 10 Of bribing
John J Furey, a former supervisor,
to favor the award of an overhead troll
ley franchise to the United Railroads.
This was one of the LA indictments
returned against Ruef by the Oliver
grand jury, which heard the confes-
sions of Is supervisors.who admitted
the acceptance Of bribes in several
matters involving public service cor
porations.
One of the many incidents that
tended to make the case remarkable

HORROR GROWS

Rome Dec. 3G.-The immensity of
the disaster in southern Italy and
| Sicily can be measured only by the
| fact that it is now estimated that
| l10, 900 persons perished in Messina
and Reggie alone.
| A score Of other towns have been
devastated and thousands of victims in
these places must be added to the
roll.
In the face of these awful totals
all Italy stands appalled,.
| Nor has the full death list yet been
reached.
shiploads of fugitives have arrived
lat Naples and other ports, and the
vast majority of these are sorely in
jured.
Other thousands, remain near the
ruins Of their homes or wander half
starved, half naked, over the land.
The forces that on Monday over
wheImed the cities also destroyed the
1means of sustenance.
Telegraphic communication has been
L
established with Messina, the appara
tus having been set up in railway
station. Messages that have come
over the line, though they have been
meager in detail, show that hope is
gone. Nothing remains of the city
ibut a mass Of ruins that have been
swept by fire.
| A mere handful of survivors is be-
ing cared for by the rescuing forces,
but their distress is great and it has
been increased by the recent icy wind
/ that followed the deluge of rain.
Destitution is appalling. There is
little food and less water. Of Messina' $
so, 900 population it is believed that
fully 70, 900 perished. Forty thousand
persons died in Reggie.
King Victor Emmanuel and Queen
Helena were in Messina today. The
king explored the ruins, regardless Of
| the danger to which he exposed him
self. He was often moved to tears at
the heartrending scenes he came upon
at every turn. The king was loud in
his praise of the splendid work ac-
complished by the Italian, Russian and
English bluejackets, who saved many
persons who would otherwise have per-
| Iished.
The queen spent the day in the
wards of improvised hospitals, visit
| ing the wounded, many of whom have
| lost all that was dear to them. Her
majesty did her best to cheer them
with wonanly words of consolation,
often breaking into sobs as she listen
ed to their dreadful tales of suffering.
The king left for Reggie tonight.
Catania, the largest city nearest to
the zone of the disaster, is crowded
with refugees and the continuous
stream of fugitives coming in, the
sight of the wounded and the repiti
tlon of real or imaginary earthquakes
have 50 alarmed the population that
they are becoming uncomfortable.
There is no longer any place where
the refugees may find shelter.
Cardinal Francisco Nava di Bontife,
archbishop Of Catania, has employed
all the money in his possession to pro-
vide bread for the fugitives, but the
people of Catania also are in great
need, as the ordinary business pursuits
have been entirely interrupted.

in ascertaining the fate Of many for

Residents OF State Asked T
Contribute

Helena, Jan. Gov. Edwin L.
Norris today issued proclamation
calling upon residents of Montana
to contribute for the relief Of the
Italian earthquake sufferers. The
proclamation follows:
ssThe recent earthquake in Italy
caused the death of thousands and
brought acute suffering and want to
countless thousands more, while all
mankind stands appalled, by the daily
additions to the details Of the catas-
trophe.
.sThe world is not so large but that
suffering in one part instantly awak-
ems in all other sections the deepest
sympathy and a desire to render aid.
In this age all men are brothers and
the whole world akin, and the exam
pie of the Good Samaritan finds fre-
quent emulation.
1sOur brothers in Italy are suffering
and in want, and to the end that some
assistance may be rendered them by
the people Of MontanaI appoint
Messrs. savin Lisa, Bernardo Dol
zadelli and D. j. Charles of the city
of Butte and the mayor of each city in
the state as a committee to solicit
funds and forward them to the author

PROCLAMATION

Pursuant to an act of the legisla-
ture, l, Denver S. Dickerson, lieu
tenant and acting governor of the
state of Nevada do hereby designate
Friday, May IA, 1909, as arbor day,
and in conformance to the law pro
claim that the said day be observed
as holiday by the public schools of
this state, but it shall not be consid-
cred legal holiday so far as the
courts and civil contracts are concern
ed.
1t was the expressed wish of the
Legislature in providing for the OBJ
servance of labor day that the people
of the state be encouraged in the
useful and profitable work of plant
ing trees. shrubs and vines, promot-
ing forest growth and culture, adorn-
ing public and private grounds,
places and ways, and in such other
efforts and undertakings as shall be
in harmony with the character of
the day so established.
In view of the recent national
movement for the conservation of
our natural resources, especially the
forests, and the widespread interest
taken by other states in the subject,
| believe Nevada should, of all states
of the union, be the most energetic
in continuing the good work.

to about so per cent of the in-bond
value of imported raw sugar. With
this tax removed or largely reduced,
the price of sugar would be directly
lowered. Under free sugar a barrel
of sugar now costing $40 would cost
SIS. With the same margin of profit,
and with lower initial cost, the
percentage of profit to the dealer
would be much larger than it is now.
The committee on ways and
means having failed to recommend a
reduction in the sugar tax, the fight
for lower rate of duty will have to
be made in the senate We therefore
inclose petitions asking for material
reduction in the tariff on sugar. so
that the price of this material will be
lowered to the consumers, and would
ask you to have them signed by as
many persons as possible, and send
them to the senators from your state,
with letters urging them to use their
influence in favor of a lower tax.

A LOWER PRICE
FOR SUGAR ASKED

The wholesale grocers of the coun-
try have taken up the matter of the
tariff on sugar and are sending out
the following circular, which is self
explaining:
in spite of the fact that public
sentiment in all sections of the coun-
try as shown by the attitude of the
press and by the immense number of
petitions sent to congress, is strong
ly in favor of a lower tariff rate on
sugar, the influence of the sugar
trust has evidently had more weight
with the committee on ways and
means than the wishes of the S0,-
600, 900 consumers who want, and
are entitled, to cheaper sugar. The
Payne tariff bill, reported to the
house on March II, provides for
only an insignificant reduction from
1876 to 100 cents per pound on re-
fined sugar. AS the bill contains a
provision for an additional tariff of
20 per cent on goods coming from
countries whose tariffs discriminate
against the United States. the real
effect of the Payne bill will be to in
crease the duty on refined sugar from
1876 to 2.2S cents per pound. an in
crease of 33 cents instead of a de-
crease of 5 cents as implied in the
proposed tariff schedule The action
of the committee on ways and means
in refusing to reduce the sugar duty
was taken in face of the fact that
Mr.. Claus A. Spreekels of the FEEDER.
al Sugar Refining company. testified
before them that the sugar refining
industry needed no protection pro-
vided raw sugar was placed on the
free list.
The duty at present Is equivalent
