Fl. Fl. Lang. general superintendent
of the Kendall mine, was in the city
yesterday on business connected
with his extensive holdings in Lewis

Of the problems which so vitally CON

Judging from what can hear, you
are certainly on the right track in

the Democrat "A live, large, pro-

accomplish wonders here and | ex-

then had little if anything on Lewis

the movement which placed Spokane
where it is today. one Of the prettiest.
wealthiest and most progressive Of
American cities. A few live men got
together and commenced to boost. To
many of the more conservative resi-

a display of hot air methods but
these fellows did not let up. Instead,
they were joined by others and their
continual boosting soon commenced

living at Cottonport but three months.
He hanged fims,lf with piece OF

Frank Roshon recently received a
letter from Benjamin with whom he
worked while the latter was in Lew

he would like to come back to Lewis
town if he had the money Frank i'm

this money had evidently not reached
the Louisiana city before the young
man committed suicide
Benjamin was brother of Joe Ben

Highheld Woolgrower Makes Fine
Cleanup Through Sending Clip
to the Chicago Warehouse.
TWENTY-FIVE CENISNET
Advantages of New Organization
Plainly Shown-Outlook Fine for
the Present Year.

Joseph Asbridge, sheep commits
sioner for Fergus county and one Of
the most progressive woolgruwers III
the state of Montana, was in this city
Sunday and yesterday and showed ID
the Democrat statement OF the re-
turns on his last years wool clip
which was recently sold through the
agency Of the Chicago Wool Ware
house Association. According to this
statement, Mr.. Asbridges clip ncttcd
him just 25 cents per pound This
too, in view Of the fact that his clip
had in it considerable spear grass
which, according to woolbuyers, usual
ly calls for several cents dickage Mr.
Asbridge estimates that the difference
between what he got and what he
would have gotten from q buyer from
an eastern commission house is no,
less than two thousand dollars.
Warehouse Scheme Success.
"The warehouse scheme has GER
tainly proven a success in the first
year OF its existence said Mr.. AS
bridge to the Democrat. Not only
was it the means Of making those
woolgrowers who sent their WOO
there several cents per pound OH their
clips but the association actually
cleared Sc percent on the capitahza-
tion. This money was left i'll the
treasury as surplus. They handled
seven million pounds at the warehouse
last year and, in view Of their success
! anticipate that they will get a large
increase over that amount the pres
cnt year.
Conditions Satisfactory.
"Woolgrowing conditions are mos
satisfactory throughout Fergus coun
ty at the present time SO far as
have learned There have been bl
few losses OF any consequence ant

the outlook for another year of high
wool prices are most excellent. In
fact. do not look for any more years
of low wool prices for the output is
by no means keeping pace with the
growth III consumption.
Mr.. ASbridgc is one On the south
side of the mountains who favors the
creation of 4 new county with Round
up as the county seat. He believes,
however, that the matter OF bounda-
ries should and will be practically
agreed upon before the meeting of the
next legislature. so as to do away
with, ii possible, any too strenuous
from this section Of the
