Billy Clifford's Show Great

Billy Clifford's show "Believe Me-,
which played two performances during
Fair week at the Glendive Opera
House, was really good enough for a
special mention, in fact it was so far
above the average that it is pity
the second performance was not bet
ter attended.
Mr.. Clifford was ably assisted in
the fun making by his brother Ed. C.
Clifford, who in addition to being a
very clever Comedian himself, is pos
sessed of a voice that puts him far
above even the best comedians of the
large circuits.
Both Ed. Clifford and his wife had
been in Lyceum and Church Choir
work for years before treading the
boards as thespians, and they both
still retain that charm of manner that
the higher line of art naturally in
culcates.

Old Sheep Men Go Out Of Sheep
Raising Business

The sale yesterday morning IN THIS
city of two of the largest bands OF
sheep sold for some time, marks the
beginning of the end of the sheep
raising business in this section OF
Dawson county
G. D. Hollecker drove in 1900 head
of ewes from his ranch on Deer Creek
and disposed of them to Mr.. }. A.
Harris and they will be shipped TO a
point in Minnesota as soon as tEe
required number Of sheep cars can De
assembled.
Mr.. Hollecker said that this was
the second and last batch of sheep he
has sold within the past year and that
he is now out of the sheep raising
business for good. He stated further
that the ranges have been so cut up
and in a great many instances by
homesteads that have absolutely no
value for agricultural purposes, that
it is next to impossible to raise sheep
on the kind of scale that would
be profitable to the raiser.
E. S. Herrick also sold a large
band of lambs and ewes at the same
time and to the same man and it is
reported that he has also decided to
quit the sheep game.
1t is the intention of the buyer to
fatten up the ewes and to Immediate
ly sell the lambs for food purposes in
St. Paul.

State Weather Report for August

The government weather report for
August shows that Montana is just as
fortunate in it's temperature and its
rainfall as it is in it's climatic and
soil conditions.
The u. S. weather bureau, in this
city, for the last month shows 100 de-
gress as the highest and A as the low
est temperature with a mean or aver
age of 1876. This compares iayor-
ably with any of the other Il stations
this side of the Divide, 13 of which
also had higher than 70 during the
month. .-.
While maximum of 100 degrees
may seem high to some people, 1T
must be remembered that such cities
as Chicago and New York very often
exceed this figure during the summer,
and for several days at time, oven

excessive heat of the day. 1t is not
50 with Montana, for here the nights
are always cool, no matter what the

Inc hottest day reported was at
Poplar in Sheridan county with 102

The precipitation of rain as report
ed by the Glendive bureau shows 2. %
