10 a certain extent the aggressive
attitude Of the buyers and the good
prices which they are offering, may
be attributed to their desire to defeat
the Chicago wool warehouse PROPOSE
ton, which the woolgrowers OF the
west have entered upon. They figure
that if they offer high prices even al
sacrifice of profit, many OF the
woolgrowers will be deferred from
taking stock in the wool warehouse
company, in the belief that the favo-
orable conditions will continue, and
that after all the buyers are desirou:
of seeing them profit largely.

WOOL BUYERS ARE
ONCE MORE BUSY
AN OFFER OF TWENTY-ONE
CENTS MADE IN FERGUS
COUNTY.

The wool buyers are again getting
busy in this state, and last week some
of the Fergus buyers received good
offers, but aside from the sale of part
of the clip of the Long company's
bands to Patterson, no transactions
seem to have been closed up in this
section. One grower last week de-
clined an offer Of 2l cents, the wool
being first class. Lambing is already
in progress in few districts in this
county, and will be general by May
l. Shearing will begin at the usual
time this season, or perhaps little
earlier than last year.
The conditions are generally favor
able to the woolgrowers and the mat
ket appears to be gaining strength
right along. Reviewing the Montana

There is no let up at all in the rush
at the local land office, and it looks
as though another record would be
made during this month. On one day
recently 80 homestead entries were
filed and on another 80. There are
now Unitd States commissioners at
Judith Gap, Stanford, Lavina, Round
up, ,Musselshell, Broadview and Grass
Range and a petition is in asking for
the appointment of commissioner at
Kendall. These commissioners save
the enjoyment considerable trouble.
The Favorite Locations.
The bulk of the entries coming in
now are on lands south of the Snowy
mountains and in the district north of

Donahue's Players, Dick Sutton's
best company, opened weeks en-
gagement at Culver's opera house
last evening, and attracted a large
audience. "a Dixie Girl was the
play and while it was Of the melo-
drama class, it was SO far ahead Of
the productions witnessed recently as
to completely outclass them The
company is strong and we'll bal
anced one and those who expected
much from the praises lavished on the
organization in other cities were not
disappointed 1t was the best per-
formance seen here this year and ev-
cry member of the cast won honors.
The specialties introduced between
the acts all took we'll. The Oretto
''kids" took the house by storm, and
Claire O'Donnell charmed all with
her exquisite violin solos. She is an
established favorite in Lewistown and
was recalled twice last evening. An
other high class vaudeville act was the
acrobatic skit by Donohue and Oretto.
Tonight one of the most popular
plays in the repertoire Of the com.
pany, Comrades" will be given, with
new line Of specialties between acts.

From all ! could learn there will be

as possible come then, in order that a
better idea Of crops may be obtained

RUSH OF BUSINESS AT land OFFICE

Stanford. The entrymen And that land
along the railways is about all gone
and are going further back from the
roads all the time.
The local office is disposing of a
big amount of work these days, the
volumn being larger, probably, than
in any land office in the state The
office force, in addition to Register
McKoin and Receiver Hedges, is now
composed Of Harold Cutler, chief
clerk, and A. G. Hill, stenographer.
The officials do not look for any lei

filed during the balance of the year.
Indeed, it is certain that there will
be quite an increase later on, when

will be no difficulty whatever in dis
posing of them. The credit OF the dis
trict is excellent and the board has
already given the matter of the build
ing such careful consideration that
there will be little delay in having
work started.
An additional school is an urgnet
necessity The present buildings are
very much crowded and there will be
considerable increase in the number
Of pupils during the next school year.
The new school will not only relieve
the present congcsted condition of the

future and result in placing school

David Hilger Returns From Chicago and Says
Wheat Prices viii Remain High Montana
Truly a Favored Land This Year.

David Hilger returned home Sunday
from business trip to St. Paul and
Chicago and while away he took
pains to ascertain what the conditions
were throughout the country, and rs
pecially with respect to this section.
Business conditions are more salts

long time" said Mr.. Hilger this
morning "Our sheep men are getting
from lo to 81 cents for their wool,
beef is bringing splendid prices in
Chicago, mutton sheep are in good de-
mand and wheat and other grains are
soaring. 1t can be safely said that
wheat will never be as cheap again as
it has been during the past ten years
Dollar wheat is really here and its
here to stay.

socalled Pattcn wheat corner is to
some extent fictitious, but back Of
Patten are some Of the shrewdest

carefully investigated conditions as to

or two in price in very short time.
Mayor Macdonald, during the course
Of conversation with The Tribune
last evening, stated that the city had
something over %, 500 In the treasury
that belongs to the wsSer fund, and
which amount is above all expenses.
Tho interest account is overdrawn
aash.ap like 5000. but the
amount stated is exclusive Of this
Mayor Macdonald says there is
no place to put tine money as far
as the water fund il concerned. and
therefore It should be diverted to
the general fund The warrants on
this department of the city finances
are greatly in excess Of the lawful
limitation, that is the total amount,
but the warrants issued within the
last few years are within the Appro-
priations. and therefore are perfectly
legal.
But the excess was oocasioned by
paying off $4,000 bonus to one OF
the mills some years ago, and the
taking care OF the smallpox casel
about the same time. Through these
medi ums the fund WAS almost hope
lessly overdrawn, but close attention
to the hannoes Of the city during the
past few administrations, have IN ade
it such that the expense of the funt
