WHEN MISSISSIPPI WAS LOW
Steamboat Captain Who Once Waded

Bteamboat men who have been con

should consult with the more ancient
mariners In the Mississippi for point
ers on the movement OF boats on low
water and then start out to restore

that steamboats, have ceased to run
during the open season.
In the summer of 1856, Mr.. Kelly
says, he was plotting the steamer
Stella Whipple when the water was
four Inches lower than II ia now. The
boat was towing two bargcs down
the stream. but got stuck on the
crossing at RObinson's rocks. Il miles
below st. Paul.
Captain Kelly says he wadod into
the river ahead OF the boat to locate
the best place to drop anchor and pull
the boat over the bar. The water
was ten inches deep, and the best
ohannel was located by wading. and
Captain Kelly returned to the boat
without wettIDg stitch OF his cloth.

SENATOR POWER SAYS
PRICES ARE TOO LOW
HELENA CAPITALIST THINKS
WOOL WILL BE CON-
SIGNED.

Montana Daily Record: Il believe
that if the woolgroWers of Montana
will sell for not less than IS cents
for an average good clip, stating if
they cannot get IS cents they will
ship to the National Warehouse &
Storage company, the Boston dealers
will pay it," declared former Senator
T. C. Power this morning, when
asked what he thought of the future
OF the wool market SO far as Mon.
tana clips are concerned.
while some wool, poor staple and
heavy shrinkage may not be worth
over Is to 16 cents pound he con
tinued, "the bulk of the Montana
wool this year is good with average
shrinkage and long staple; something
that is desired by eastern manufac-
turers."
Scarcity of Wool.
"Why do you believe wool will
bring good price considering the
present tariff agitation?' he was
asked.
For the reason that the manufac-
turers that use wool, | was informed
while east, have not over 80 days to
six weeks supply on hand, and for
the further reason that the London
wool sales showed, if anything, a
hardening Of the wool market for the
best wools. During 1S93-94 secured
wool in Europe was worth not over
81 to 40 cents per pound, While now
Australian is 60 to s. cents, round
figures. With good crops, wool should
not and cannot 60 any cheaper, but
will advance later on. At the same
time would not advise people to
snip wool east to their own order
when they can receive about Is cents
here"
do you look for tariff legislation
on wool before the close of the ex-
traordinary session."
Il do not. The feeling and express
sion Of congressman generally is to
wait until the tariff commission re-
ports, SO that the tariff question can
be taken up intelligently. This, be
lieve, will be done and that there will
be no legislation before adjournment" "

Il do not, as it is not business
pl oposition for the woolgrower. While
there may be a few large wool deal
ers that handle consignments fairly,
it is not to be expected that the mer-
chant that has wool consigned to him
for sale and has a great deal of wool
of his own, that he purchased for the
purpose of selling to make profit,
could be expected to treat the con-
signee's interest first. This is un-
natural and should not be expected.
''In fact, where consignments are
made of any other product they are
handled by commission men who do
not own any of the same kind of
goods to sell on their own account.
This applies to the trade generally.

How much stock does a woolgrOw-

'The stock will cost SIS per share,

ance can be deducted from his wool
sales with six per cent interest, and
an advance Of ten cents per pound
will be made on wool shipped"

GRANDMOTHER
USED SAGE TEA
To Darken the Hair and Re-
store Gray and Faded Hair
to Its Natural Color.

1t is easier to preserve the color of
the hair than to restore 1t, although
it is possible to do both. Our grand
mothers understood the secret They
made sage tea" and their dark,
glossy locks long after middle life
was due to this fact. Our mothers
have gray hairs before they are fifty,
but they are beginning to appreciate
the wisdom of our grandmothers in
using sage tea." for their heads are
fast following suit.
The present generation has the ad-
vantage of the past, in that it can get
a ready-to-use preparation called
Weyth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Re-
newer. AS a scalp tonic and color
restorer this preparation is vastly su-
perior to the ordinary sage tea"
made by our grandmothers.
This remedy is sold under guar
antee that the money will be refund
ed if it fails to do exactly as repre-
sented.
If your hair is losing color or COM
ing out, start using Weyth's Sage
and Sulphur today. and see see what
a change it will mae in a few days
time.
This preparation is offered to the
public at so cents bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all drug

THE FLOWER
Of The RANCH
IS A BLOSSOM

From a ranch in Oklahoma to a
leading role in musical comedy
sounds like big jump. The mere
thought OF 1t is enough to set the
( head OF any ambitious young girl
whirling. But listen to what fol-
folws: In THE Flower of the
Ranch, one of Joseph E. Howard's
most successful musical comedies
which has toured the central and
| eastern cities for three seasons. and
is coming to the Grand Opera House.
Friday, October 9th, is Miss Betty
caldwell, and the part she fills is the
most important in the play. Until
she was II years old, she lived on a
ranch in Oklahoma, where she rode
bronchos and was tile pride of the
ranchmen, who worshipped her. Her
mother was a full-blood Sioux. and
her father white man; naturally
she had all the desires of the out
door life' and up to the time Il at her
parents left Oklahoma, there we're
days at a time that the cowboys
would take her along with them and
teach her all the traits that it was
possible for her to learn as to riding
bronchos, handling the lariat, and
the like. Their new home was in
Kansas City, and it was here that
Miss Caldwell spent four years fin
ishing her schooling. At the age of
10 she completed her course in
school, and made it known to her
parents that she was going to try for
the stage, which at the time was con-
sidered mere joke on her part AS
the big musical comedies visited
Kansas City. she would call for the
stage manager, and it was in this
way that she was engaged for the
chorus. She developed rapidly into a
graceful dancer and was soon recog-
nized as the cleverest of the
ponies"
The following season she was
chosen among six other girls for a
feature novelty act on the vaudeville
stage, and again she was the one
that held the attention of the audi
ence. Another step and she was en-
gagged to fill the role that Mabel Bar
rison created in the above attraction.
During the spring she played the
part for a few weeks and to those
who know her. consider her lise in
the professional world something
wonderful She is only 19 years old
and possesses grace and magnetic
personality that charms everyone
who sees her.

it necessary.
