DECLINE in
WOOL PRICES
Sixteen Cents is Reported to Have
Been Paid in Miles City for Clip
that Brought q Last Year.

The following clipped from the Hell
ena Record tells of sale of wool at
Miles City, which is rather disappoint-
ing to the woolgrower:
''The first Montana clip to be sold
this season under the sealed bid sys-
tenn was that at Miles City last week
of M. r. Brown to f. E. Esheman,
buyer for jeremiah Williams & Com
pany of Boston. According to the re-
port received in Helena, the clip
brought sixteen cents perIpound. Last
year it brought twenty-five cents. 1t
was of medium size.'
Sheepmen of Meagher county are
not satisfied with the prices that are
being offered thus far by the buyers,
and many contemplate consigning.
The market is in peculiar condi-
tion and quite the reverse of what
was earlies anticipated.

TWODOT LOSES
TO ROUNDUP
Stubbornly Bows Down to Defeat
in National Game With Round
upers Sunday.

Last Sunday the ball nine from the
big Coal Camp east of here, journeyed
up to Twodot to indulge in game of
base ball with the aggregation of our
sister village, Twodot. The game was
hotly contested one from start to
finish, but it was evident that the
RounduperS were trifle better sphere
tossers than the lads with the 2-spots
and when the smoke had cleared away
from the arena the score stood 8 to 0
in favor of Roundup. In the first in
ming the boys from the mining town
succeeded in crossing the home plate
five times which was due to the fact
that the Twodot pitcher had not yet
gotten his wing in shape.

CROP OUTLOOK
VERY GOOD
Good Reports Come From Different
Sections Stating that the Grain is
in Excellent Condition.

From the present indications this
sect ion of Montana will be favored
with bumper crop. The bounl eous
rainfall every few days has brought
the different grains to point where
failure now will be almost impossible.
The reports from the different sec
tions around Harlowton are to the eff
feet that the crops are in splendid
and that they have passed
the danger marx. In some places the
winter wheat is nearly three feet
high and other grains are equally as
far advanced.

HARLOWTON BUSINESSMEN
Our Brass Band Cannot Exist Unless
the Musicians are Given
Employment

During the past three weeks, six of
the musicians playing in the band
have left town on account of not re-
ceiving employment. The band is in
excellent condition financially, and
Harlowton will have one of the best
bands in Central Mont ana if the boys
are given employment so as to keep
them here. A. j. Dreyer, the direct
or, was rounding the band into good
shape when many of the musicians
found it necessary to leave.
The band has a few outside engage
ments that cannot be filled unless
something is done. Harlowton will
have County Fair this fall, and will
necessarily need to have good band.
1t is up to Harlowton to give employ
ment to the boys, for other towns are
Offering them inducements to leave.

BUCKING CONTEST
At Martinsdale July Fourth to be
the Real Thing -Ropins
Contests.

Many of the people that have re-
Gently made Montana their home will
be greatly interested in the big cele-
bration which will be held at Martins
dale on the Fourth, because of the
many western sports that are to take
place there on that day. Few eatern-
ers have ever had the opportunity to
see a genuine bucking or roping con-
test, and they will undoubtedly pick
that old famous western city as the
place to celebrate the Nations birth
day.
A dispatch from Martinsdale is to
the effect that all the cowboys within
radius of seventy five miles will be
there, and that alone is sufficient to
assure all exciting time in sports new
to the tenderfoot.
