The Great Falls Daily Tribune of
the 10th has the following to say
about the new project of the North
ern Pacific to build a branch into
Harlowton from Livingston: "Work
on the Northern Pacific line up
Shields river is to be rushed. The
contract for the construction OF the
line has been let to Foley Brothers Of
St. Paul. More than 300 teams will
be at work within ten days. The
line will extend north from Living
ston along the rich Shields river agri-
cultural valley to Harlowton on the
Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound.
This report has not been confirmed
by all of the authorities Of the rail-
road here, and rumors of railroad
construction are 50 prevalent at pre-
sent, that nothing definite seems to
be known. There is not the least
doubt but that the Northern Pacific
will build a branch north from Liv-
ingston, whether it will strike the G.
M. & p. S. r. at Harlowton is still a
matter of conjecture in business Cir
cles here.

WOOL MARKET
Prospect For Good Business During
Coming Season. Lambing
Season Begins.

From all sides comes the report
that the wool market for the coming
season will be very brigh. According
to reports from the financial centers
of the east, the prospects for good
wool market are most optimistic for
at least three years. This forecast is
largely due to the fact that there
will not be any material reduction of
the tariff on the raw product or on
manufactured woolen articles. Ow-
ing to the fact that in many sections
the wool industry has been curtailed,
there is not supply such as will
flood the market as in former years.
Sheepmen are making preparation
for the lambing season, which will
soon be in progress. The inclement
weather of the past two weeks has
not discouraged wool growers, as it
reduces the likelihood that there will
be stormy weather during Iambing.

N.BAR RANCH SOLD
Colonel Cruise Sells His Famous Ranch
In Fergus County.

The largest undivided tract of land
in Fergus county, and one of the big
gest stock ranches in Montana, the
N-Bar ranch, belonging to Colonel
Thomas Cruise of Helena, has been
sold and will soon be cut up into
small farms. The following is from
the Great Falls Tribune of April 18th;
w. J. Cruise has just returned from
Fergus county and he announces
that deal has been practically closed
for the sale of the property to J. H.
Ray, w. A. Powers and E. A. Tor
lett of Chicago. The consideration
is in the neighborhood of $1,000, 600.
The transfer will be made in a few
days and then the new owners will
take steps to immed lately colonize it
The N-Bar ranch is located in the
Flatwillow country, and is well
known throughout this section as.
the big stock ranch of the country.
it is stated that 1000 horses, 5000
cattle and about 10000 sheep roam
over the ranch. The disposal of
these large holdings marks and epoch
in the history of Montana. The old
cowboy days are on the wane and the
new era of the homeseeker and small
rancher is dawning. 1t is the natur-
al evolution of agriculture in the
treasure state.

for themselves In North Oak ota and
South Dakota have come in to make
their stamping ground in the rail
road town. But let actions speak
louder than words. 1t is enough to
say teat Harlowton will not need to
import any material, and can rely on
what is here for swift bunch.
The Daily News in sizing up the
situation for league has the follow
ing to say:
All of these towns are good ball
towns. Of course Lewistown will
draw the big gate receipts, and if
good ball is put up, some immense
crowds will turn out to witness the
contests. However Moore always
was rattling good town for the ma
tional game, This year the Moorites
plan to put faster team than ever
in the field. They will erect high
fence to enclose the ball grounds.
Harlowton and Roundup are also
good towns for the game, while Ju-
dith Gap, though young, is ambitious
and expectations are that the gap
town will have one of the fastest
teams in this section.

SUDDITH RANCH SOLD
Illinois Syndicate Buys Big Tract
at Broadview Will Continue
Experimental Farm.

The biggest land deal that has been
consummated in Montana for many
years occurred recently when DR.. W..
X. Suddith sold his immense holdings
at Broadview to party of Illinois
capitalists, who will begin to colonize
the big ranch in the near future.
The scale includes the experimental
farm, which furnished the exhibits
for the dry farming congress recently
held at Cheyenne. DR.. Suddith re-
tains an interest in the syndicate, and
will be in charge of the demonstra-
tion.
The buyers of the Suddith ranch
are Joseph H. Ray, president of the
Joliet Title and Trust Company,
Joliet, ILL.,, J. A. Mcintyre, president
of the First National bank of Joliet:
George w. Young and Edward Cor
lette, attorneys of Joliet; w. A. Pow
ers, business man of Wilmington,
ILL.,, P. j. Hamler, president of the
Hamler, Boiler and Iron Works, a
Chicago corporation, j. Lambert, an
Illinois steel magnate. 1t is likely
DR.. Suddith and George A. Water
man both of Broadview will be the
Montana representatives. of the con-
Germ.
The Broadview experimental farm
has already state wide reputation
for the tests made there in the way
of dry land and intensive farming.
DR.. Suddith has become an authority
on scientific methods of farming in
Montana. He has furnished from
his farm nearly all the samples used
by the Northern Pacific, Great Nor
thern and Chicago, Milwaukee and
Puget Sound roads in their advertis-
ing cars.
The farm is supposed TO be situated
in the richest section of the country
tributary to Billings and is not only a
rich agriculture section but is under
laid with coal, according to the re.
ports of the United States geological
survey, which covered it two years
ago. Recently DR.. Suddith opened a
coal mine upon it, and is now supply
ing the new settlers in eastern Mon.
tana with fuel. 1t is said to contain
the only coking coal in this region
and underneath the upper coal strata
is fine grade of blacksmith coal.
The country surrounding the fam
Gus farm is being rapidly settled with
colonists from Minnesota, North Da
kpta, Iowa and Nebraska 1t is esti
mated, from the land filings at the
Billings and Lewistown land offices
that during the past few months
more than 1000 farmers have takel
claims in this district.

Local People File on Claims.

The following local people have
filed on claims in this vicinity before
U. S. Commissioner w. 0. Straight in
the last 10 days. Most of these took
up claims between here and Ryegate,
but two have filed north of Harlow
ton. If the new comers do as well in
proportion to their numbers as the
local people, there will be well set
tied community around Harlowton in
the near future. The whole Mussel-
shell country is now being explored
for the best homesteads, and old
timers say that there never was such
a demand for homestead land.

And Some Were Stune.

A bunch of about 20 lads in town
here have just experienced what many
of the animated have often expert
enced before, the experience of being
stung by clothes man. The gentle
man bore some ticticious name, and
went to several of the boys here and
secured orders for clothes. At the
time the orders were taken deposit
of S. to $25 was made to guarantee
the good faith of the purchaser. The
last that has been seen or heard of
the ''foxy-quiller' was one day last
week when he went merrily west
ward, and forgot to deliver the dry
goods. This pathetic incident recalls
to mind those lines of the bard that
sung so we'll:
"Of all the words of tongue or pen
The saddest are these I'm stune
again"

UNIVERSITY AND
. -; COLLEGERS TIE

The baseball game between the Uni
versity Club and Oahu College boys
yesterday afternoon was one of the
funniest athletic stunts on record. We
sometimes read of games being stopped
back east by darkness; but in this
game of yesterday that unprecedented
thing happened. The two teams play
ed for all they were worth until dark
ness compelled them to stop. 1t was
then seven innings gone, and the score
was tied, 5 to 5. Some of the younger
fellows wanted to play on by moon
light; but the scientists among the Uni
versity players recalled that the moon
would be late, so halt was declared
at a most exciting stage.
Undoubtedly the teams will be
brought together again. If possible
they will take a holiday for it, so thai
they can start early in the MORNING
and have all afternoon to play off any
ties that may creep into the game.

OF
HAWAIIAN RACE

Mrs. A. r. Gurrey, Jr., has just COM
pleted a set of about fifty of the most
faithful, and also remarkable, photo
graphic studies of Hawaiian types ever
displayed in these islands. The col
lection was removed yesterday to the
art store of A. r. Gurrey & Company
on Fort street, where the beautiful dis
play may now be seen.
The collection forms a complete pic
torial history of the Hawaiian race that
has pronounced scientific as well as art
value. This set will go forward with
the Hawaiian exhibit for display at
the Yukon Exposition in Seattle, after
which it will become the property OF
the Smithsonian Institution.
The display as it stands represents q
serious work and not a fad. 1t il
something in which Hawaiians may
reasonably feel a pride in seeing Their
race so faithfully portrayed. The sug
gestion has been made by critics tina
a set similar to the one made for tn,
Smithsonian collection would be an i'm
portant and valuable addition to tn
Bishop Museum.

GUN CLUB ORDERS
SHOOTING DEVICE

The Hawaiian Gun Club has ordered
a Leggett trap for use in its shooting
competitions. This device is the very
latest and was used in the Grand
American Handicap. 1t will arrive
here in the next Alameda and will be
installed in about three weeks.
BY the use of this device the services
of only one man is required while five
or six are needed in the old style of
shooting. There is said to be only
one other so far in use west of the
Rocky mountains, so it will be a new
thing on this side of the world. 1t
has the additional advantage of throw
ing at all angles, which makes the trap
sport as much like real bird shooting
as can possibly be devised.
When the device is in place plans
will be laid for a series Of particularly
interesting competitions.

there will be a long gap for the spec
