Wool Market Gossip.

There have been no wool sales in
the northern Montana markets this
season, according to local sheepmen
Who are familiar with the situation.
Representatives OF Boston firms have
visited the various wool growing To-
calities and have been following the
usual custom Of attempting to bear
the market, but 90 far % known there
has been nothing doing in the way of
sales.
There ts more activity, however, 10
eastern Montana wool circles. From
Glendive and Miles City press dis
patches it appears that several sales
were effected in those markets st II
to 18 cents. Osher sales have been
made At Terry and Columbus at simi-
lar figures.
In its review of the Boston wool
market the Commercial Bulletin says:
The trading In territory woods THE
week has been almost wholly In new
wool. Utshs principally. The latter
woods are bringing for the best wools
about 4S "a SO clean basis, including
6ne and dne medium and halt. f.blood
woods. This means II @ ls ceuts in
the grease. Some Color ado has been
cold at ls @ 20 cents, or q clean cost
estimated at As "a 46 cents.
1t is estimated by one of the most
active operators in the territories this
year that about sixty to sixty.five per
cent of the new territory wools have
passed out OF fret hands, either on
consignment or by actua sale. Mon
tana is practically the only large wool
state In which the greater proportion
OF the wool is still unsold.

CURLING.

Curling, game having it's origin in Scotland, is the center of attrac ton in our nome town these days: barring the picture shows and the court proceedings. of course.
 It is a clean. healthful game havin" in il to the full the three demands and excitement; sociablity without q killing formality. exercise without coarseness or brutality, and excite ment that washes the mind of it's care.
 Curling is d remarkably simple game. and here. in its very simplicity, lies the charm. The complex sports never become generally popular There is complexity enough incident to making living. Men and boys demand game which will relieve the mind, not puzzle it. So it is that the pastoral game of horsesho"s is played by the millions, while chess is played by the few Curling, though a winter sport and played on the ice. is half brother to the horseshoe game. Because of this it has lived on through the centuries. immortalized in Scottish song and story. pr. Henry Duncan sings of it thus:
 There draw shot; they lay guard; And here beside him lie. man;
 Now let him feel a gamester's hand: Now in this bosom die, man.
 There fill the port and block the ice: We sit upon the tree, man:
 Now take this in-ring sharp and neat. And make this winner flee, man.
 Just now the twelve teams of four men each are competing in the finals of tournament As the competition draws tournament. AS the competition draws to close the excitement naturally in creases until, in the last game. We may expect to witness some hard playing Forty-four will lose, but only techni- cally speaking. For in this game. as in all healthful sports. even the loser wins: going away bearing the trophy of harder muscles, steadier nerves and better blood.

 No wonder so much ground about Fairbanks is pronounced low grade 1 II would have to be rich indeed to stand this frightful expense and leave q profit. Yet for all that, men haul wood for miles with dog team or any way they can to work their ground. Either there is a lot of good dirt on these creeks or else the claim owners are over-supplied with hope Any way, they are staying with it admira- hly and deserve a better chance than they are getting

 Experience has taught Alaskans one thing above all others Whatever they get they must fight for. Just now the problem of fuel is retarding the pro"- ress of things to degree which threatens the life of the camp. More than all. il works to defeat the man with one claim and no capital.
 But this obstacle can be overcome Government coal lands in Wyoming have been leased on the royalty basis The Secretary of the Interior has it in his power to lease coal land. 1t is not necessary for Congress to leg lslate upon this phase of the matter. Our delegate should be urged to take this matter up as soon as the railroad bill is off his hands. We can get leases on the coal lands if we go after it hard enough If it can be done in Wyoming it can be done here.

PETTY LARCENY.

Petty larceny is regarded by people generally as the most contenptiblo

 To leave an axe outside the door. to leave dog harness on the sled to hang an overcoat In cloak room. to

THE CURRENCY BILL.

Leslie's magazine opposes the cur rency bill. Leslie's magazine opposes about everything which is new and alive. and praises only that which carries with it the musty scent of the tomb. In late editorial under a cap tion entitled. Reason appears this stunning argument:
 The national banks are owned by the shareholders. It is now proposed it's capital to a scheme for government al control of a banking system. This is a force bill pure and simple. If the new scheme should prove to be fail- ure. the shareholders and not the gov ernment would suffer. Is this req son?"
 In the first place. the banks have caused their share of suffering in this country. They are not, on the whole, stable institutions. They are conven- tent institutions. but their manage ment of financial affairs in the past does not warrant the public in placing great credit in their ability to all ways pay on demand
 Who has forgotten the panics through which the country passed :? Who has forgotten the last one when IL declared a three days holiday to save these sacred institutions from ruin. and when the Spokane clearing house was compelled to issue clearing house
