SEVERAL LARGE WOOL
CLIPS CONTRACTED FOR
THREE QUARTERS OF A MILLION
PONDS TAKEN BY WILLIAM
MAlR At 18 CENTS.

When the Democrat, in recent is.
sue, stated that several big clips Of
Fergus county wool had been con-
tracted for by William Mair. of Hecht,
Lehman & Co, many thought false
trail had been struck. 1t has de-
veloped within the past week that we
had the right dope" and the total
quantity secured by the Boston man
will exceed 100000 pounds. He paid
an average of IS cents per pound.
According to T. M. Carston, q Bill
ings fiockmaster, the woolgrowers Of
Montana have only to stand pat to
receive 20 cents or better for their
product this year. 1t Is simply a case
Of supply and demand the supply Is
short and demand correspondingly
great. Mr.. Carston concludes by say.
ing:
"The Montana wool clip is partic-
ularly excellent and according to my
way Of viewing things, there Is every
reason to justify, not only 20-cent
but 25-cent wool, and l believe the
latter will be paid for tiptop clips If
the men who now own them do not
get excited and dispose of them too
early"

SPECIAL COMMITTEE CHOSEN
LAST NIGHT TO RECOMMEND
CITY HALL ADDITION.
eminent ENCINEERSHER
Jacobs Of kaIispeII, swearineen Of
Missoula, and McCulloh Of Great
Falls, Address Council Relative to
Proposed Plumbing Ordinance
Other Proceedings Of Meeting.

At the regular weekly meeting of
the city council last night the matter
of securing more adequate quarters
for the various departments of the
city government was again taken up.
A special committee, comprising Abel,
chairman, Martin and Ivins, was ap-
pointed by the mayor to investigate
the subject. A similar committee, of
which WINS was chairman, had this
subject under consideration about a
year ago, but it was decided to do
nothing until this spring.
To Recommend Addition.
The committee members made a
survey of the city hall premises this
morning and have decided to submit
a recommendation that steps be taken
at once to build substantial addition
to the present fire station. The plan
as it will be outlined by the commit
tee contemplates the building of a
stone wall on the east side and
putting in plate glass front and back,

light for the engineering and city clerk
departments.
If this plan is adopted, the city en-
gineers office will be in the rear,
where he will have the advantage of
the greater amount of sunlight; the
city clerks office in front and the
council chamber in the middle room.
It is estimated that the saving in
rental for period of two years only
will more than pay for the proposed
annex.
City Engineers Present.
City Engineers Jaqueth of Kalispell,
Swearingen of Missoula, and Nc
Culloh of Great Falls, addressed the
council on the subject of plumbing
ordinance and shed much light on that
rather perplexing question. AS a re-
suit of the information thus secured,
the plumbing ordinance will be In
shape for passage at the next meet
ing of the council. Messrs. Jaqueth
and McCulloh are simply visitors to
the city, while Mr.. Swearingen is here
to act as consulting engineer in the
matter of the east side sewer.
An ordinance the purpose of which
is to place in the hands of the city
treasurer the work of collecting all
city taxes, read and reported. 1t will
likely be passed at the next meeting
of the council. Inc sanitary commit
tee reported progress on the ordl-
nance for the collection and disposal
of garbage. The chief difficulty in the
way of prompt action is the mac.
feasibility of the present city dump.
It will be necessary to secure new
grounds for that purpose.
Louis Lehman requested the con.
struction of some new cross walks in
the southern part of the city. Re.
ferred to proper committee.

was organized for the purpose Of de.
velOping all of the water power that
can possibly be secured from Big

Il went to Bliss after Roosevelt an0
some OF the bureau heads began un-
just attacks upon us. Bliss threw up
his hands and said he saw the attacks
we're unjust and SAID he sympathized
with as, but could do nothing"
Archbold said the attacks referred
to were made upon the STANDARD OH

Roosevelt unfailingly approved the
attacks, without investigation, ana
without the slightest knowledge of the
