fully 500 loads yet to be hauled.
Thirteen teams have been employed
for the last month at this work. This
breaks all previous records here.
Belle Fourche-The spring lamb
shearing season is well under way
throughout this section. Local grow
ers report a good big percentage of
lambs this season, and the weather
has been very satisfactory for the
work. 1t is believed that the biggest
and best crop of wool ever turned out
of this section will be marketed next
month. Continuous snow through
out the winter has left the wool in a
clean condition, and abundance of
feed brought the sheep through with
out a break in the clip. 1t is esti-
mated that 100000 to $780, 600
pounds will be marketed from this
point.

WAR SUMMARY
PROGRESS OF CONDITIONS AS
COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

New York, May Especial:
While latest advices from the Italian
cabinet made no refenrece to an of
fetal declaration of war by Italy
against Austria-Hungary they do an
nounce that the parliament has con-
ferred full powers of government to
make all decisions in case of war for
the defense of state.
This is taken to mean that Italy is
about to strike, if she has not already
done so. Paris is celebrating the an
nouncement of the Italian parlia-
ment's action as if war had been de-
clared, and it is quite possible that
it is so, for news from Rome has been
greatly delayed in reaching the Unit
ed States.
Except for a continuation of heavy
fighting in Galicia, where the Austro-
Germans are declared to be pushing
still farther their successes of several
weeks past. military operations are
almost at a standstill.
In the west, bad weather and soggy
ground have prevented operations.
No changes of any moment are re-
corded by the war ~chancellories of
any of the combatants along this line.
The fighting throughout Galicia is
increasing in intensity. according to
Petrograd. and the Austro-German
forces who have crossed the river San
are spreading over the vicinity of ia
roslau, Badawa and Sieniawa. To the
south of Przemysl the Teutons have
taken Russian advance trenches, but
at the cost of enormous sacrifices. ae-
eording to an admission of ~Petrograd.
In the north, the Russians still are
pressing the Germans in the Shawl
region, pushing them back on a wide
front.
The British political leaders are
engaged in the formation of a new
government in which Premier As
quith and Foreign Secretary Grey
hold their present portfolios. New
civil heads of the admiralty and the
war office are looked for, with pos
sibly Andrew Bonar Law, the opposi-
ton leader. or Chancellor Lloyd
George as war minister, and A. j.
Balfour as first lord of the admiralty.
