SIXTY CENT WOOL
MAY Be A REALITY
Present Conditions Indicate
That Clips Will Bring
Record Prices.

That wool will go to 60 cents be-
fore break occurs in the present
ascension of prices is being predicted
confidently by number of Montana
flockmasters. Several clips of wool
have been sold in various sections of
the state within the past week around
As cents.
There is no talk among the pur-
chasers of short staple. All they de-
sire is weight. One deal was closed
in Helena recently by long distance
phone at as cents. Several bands of
fairly good ewes have changed hands
recently around S13 and s14 head.
Sales of fairly we'll bred ewes have
reached the astounding figure of SIS
per head.
The eagerness with which buyers
snap up clips, even at these high fig
ures, would indicate that the best in
formed men in the wool trade believe
that the war will last until the next
two clips are on the market.
A big factor in the price is the en-
barge placed by Great Britain on Aus
tralian wool, which is reserved for the
use of the armies of the allies.
This embargo will remain in force
as long as the war lasts. When it is
taken off the price will fall, but
many wool experts are inclined to be-

MRS. HENDRICKSON

PASSES AWAY
Mrs. Alfred Hendrickson died Tues
day noon, following the birth of a
child, which came into the world life
less. The babe was born in the morn
ing, and the mother lowered in a
critical condition between life and
death, until the grim reaper claimed
her.
Funeral services were held on
Thursday afternoon, hundreds of sor-
rowing friends and relatives paying
respect to the memory of the de-
ceased, who had been a power for
good in the community.
She was the wife of Rev. Alfred
Hendrickson, pastor of the local
Lutheran church, and was an able as
sistant in carrying out his good work.
Besides her husband, a two-year old
son survives her.
The body was shipped this morn
ing to Willmar, Minn., the former
home of Mrs. Hendrickson, where the
body will be inferred. Mr.. Hendrick-
son and son and some of the relatives
accompanied the body.

GAS STOPS DRILLING
AT B0WDOIN OIL WELL
Rig of Local Oil Company
Awaiting Arrival of Safety
Pipes-HOpes Fulfilled.

That gas in commercial quantities
will be struck with few hours drill
ing, is the belief of the men in charge
of the drilling operations of the Bow
doin Oil & Gas company, at their
first hole on the shore of Lake Bow
doin.
Last Thursday, the work of drill
ing was stopped, as gas had been en-
countered, and the drillers believed
that if they proceeded further without
first putting in safety pipes, that
they would not be able to go deeper.
A smaller pipe is to be inserted in
side the larger hole and the work of
boring into the bowels of the earth
after oil will proceed.
The men in the company are very
enthusiastic as the gas was struck
just where the geologist predicted.

LOSER WINS UNDER
NEW GAMBLING LAW

The new gambling law passed by
the last legislature has some funny
provisions. Solo is one game that is
not included in the list that comes un-
der the ban, being considered a game
of skill rather than one of chance.
One opinion Of the new law that is
very startling is that the loser in a
billiard or pool game is violating the
law if he pays for the game. Ac-
cording to the attorney generals con-
struction of the law the players must
divide the cost of each game among
themselves, pro rata. If the cost of
the game is 25 cents, each player must
pay half or they will be violating the
law. A test case will be made of this
part of the act.

David Popnsky Confesses to Crime Committed in Valley
County in Winter of 19O5-Under Ar
rest at Phoenix, Ariz.
WILL Be BROUGHT BACK HERE TO PAY The PENALTY
Sheriff Powell Undersheriff Crime Was Committed
Catches Man After Long Search-Popinsky
Says Conscience Bothered Him and
Caused Him to Confess.

After being a fugitive from Justice
for over dozen years, David Pop
linsky walked into the police station
Monday at Phoenix, Ariz., and an
nounced that he had killed a man
near Nashua, Montana, IL years ago.
According to the report from Phoe-
nix, Poplinsky said that he had shot
and killed man named johnson in
self-defense and buried the body.
Poplinsky told the chief of police that
ne had no peace Of mind since the
killing.
Sheriff Powell was notified and he
Immediately wired the authorities
that he had a warrant for Poplinsky
and would leave for Phoenix immedi-
ately. Monday night he and County At
torney Borton left for Helena, where
they obtained extradition papers and
left there Tuesday night for Arizona.
The story of the murder, the find
ing of the body and the confession of
the murderer after II years, read like
fiction. When the crime was commit
ted, Leather" Griffith was sheriff
and "Puck" Powell was undersheriff.
"Puck" was looking for Poplinsky
then, and has been ever since. His
search of II years has come to an
end.
In the winter of 1905 man named
johnson was murdered, and the body
thrown into the Milk river. The crime
was committed a few miles from
Nashua, and Poplinsky was suspect
ed of the crime, as he was the last
person seen with the murdered man,
they having left Nashua together on
the day Johnson was last seen. The
finger of suspicion also turned to
Poplinsky, when he later went to
Nashua and sold his saddle pony and
left the country.
When the ice broke up in the river
in the spring, Jim Panton discovered
the body and reported it to the au-
thorities here. It was brought to
Glasgow and coroner's inquest held.
DR.. Geddy was coroner at that time,
and the verdict was that johnson had

Enthusiasm Rampant at
Commercial Club MeetinQ

"Watch the Go in Glasgow" This
was officially adopted as the slogan
of the Glasgow Commercial club at
the rousing, booster and get-together
meeting held Thursday evening in the
Gibson Opera House.
If the crowd that turned out to
the meeting last night is an indica-
tion of the interest shown in the Com
mercial club, then all that can be said
is that it is going to be "some club.
The hall was packed. Men and wom-
en-, boys and girls were on hand early
and before the program had started
there was hardly standing room left
Using President Sherman's words
the meeting was the beginning of the
Commercial clubs "spring drive" :"
They were coming "out of the
trenches" and going after more men,
bers, in order that the club might do
more effective work.
Music by the Lyric Theater orches-
ira and songs by male quartet, COM
posed of Messrs. Alden, Hauge,
Friedlund and Gould, preceded the
main speaker of the evening, and
were heartily applauded. The sheep
herders' quarter, with impersonations
of such wool barons as Cooper, Muir
ray, Browning and Gibson, showed
their exultation over the high price
of wool and rendered touching bal
lad entitled, Murray Had Little
Lamb"
President Sherman of the club then
introduced DR.. Rheem of Helena, who
spoke on "Civic Improvement and De-
velopment."
The talk was very interesting. The
system of town building was outlined
by DR.. Rheem and he pointed out the
reasons why some towns are "dead."
Cooperation, he said, was the remedy
for "sick" town, and he praised the
spirit shown by the people of Glasgow
in getting together and accomplish
ing things.
President Sherman also made few
remarks, and announced that men,

ICE PRICES FIXED
AT MEETING WEDNESDAY,

n
At meeting held in the CONNER
cial club rooms Wednesday, the di-
rectors Of the club took up the ice
question with Sam Blanchard, who
controls the local supply.
Mr. Blanchard explained the matter
thoroughly, and gave reasons for the
advance in the price of ice.
The following prices were decided
upon:
Seven dollars per ton for cooler ice;
$40 ton for heavy deliveries; $12
a ton for private ice. Under this sche-
dule, for household use will cost the
consumer about 60 cents hundred
pounds.
Although he is the only dealer sup
plying ice this season, Mr.. Blanchard
states that he has much larger sup
ply stored than the entire ice harvest
of the city last year, and he con-
siders it sufficient for the needs of
the city.

B0WD0IN OIL FIELD IS
ATTRACTING ATTENTION
Outside Oil Companies to Com
mence Drilling Operations
in New Field.

The development of the oil field
near Lake Bowdoin by the Bowdoin
Oil & Gas company, which was or
ganized last year by local business
men, has attracted the attention of
other oil companies, and indications
point to several companies putting in
plants to drill within a short time.
The Elk Basin Oil company have
their machinery at their location and
will be drilling within a week, says
the Saco Independent.
Other companies that are active in
organizing and leasing land are the

Kansas City firm.

the revenue estimated to be neces
sary. A higher assessment will NEAR
lower levy, for the budget for the
county and city will be the same, ne
matter what the arithmetic of the de.
tails.
For the state taxes, a difference
will be made, as the state levy has
been the maximum allowed by law
2h mills for general purposes and a
special quarter-mill tax. However, un-
der the law, the state levy is cut down
automatically to 11s mills when the
assessment valuation for Montana
reaches $60O,O00,0OO. The last as
sessment approximated 100000, ,0OO
and it is likely that the increase in
figures for real estate all over the
commonwealth will bring the total
above the dividing line set by statute
so the actual increase in taxes for the
state fund will not be so considerable
if this is done.
The change will, however, entail a
lot of extra clerical work for the as
SCISSORS office before the rolls can be
turned over to the commissioners.
In order to comply with the order,
the assessors of Montana will hold a
special meeting at Helena Monday for
the purpose of getting a uniform sche-
dule for this years assessment. Mr..
Cottrell will attend the meeting.
~ am going to carry out the as
sessment work to conform to every
requirement of the new order," stated
Assessor Cottrell, when broached on
the subject.
"The law is very plain about the
meaning of full cash value and it
will be enforced to the limit in this
county.
II am going after the tax-dodgers
this year, and if find any one who
has wilfully undervalued his property
or has not given a complete list, they
will find themselves subject to the
penalty provided by law"
Mr.. Cottrell estimated that the as
sessed valuation of the county would
be increased to $16,OOO,OOO under the
new system of assessing.

lieve that the price of wool will be
abnormal for many years.
The normal wool clip in Montana
is under 30,0O0,0OO pounds, the larg-
est production of any state in the
union. At normal prices this clip is
worth about $7,000,0OO, and on this
basis flockmasters accumulate wealth
quicker than any other industry akin
to agriculture.
At present prices, if they should
obtain until the 1917 clip goes to mar
ket, Montana wool will bring to the
state in excess of $2O,OOO,OOO, and the
lamb and wether crop at least as
much more.
With 45 cent wool, 40 cent copper,
$1.50 wheat and $1.25 beef steers, it
looks as though the open end of the
horn of plenty rests on the state of
Montana.

Beautifcation of City,
In Plan to Plant Trees

Glasgow will become one of the
prettiest and healthiest cities in Mon
tana, if the parking system that will
be presented to the city council to-
night, is adopted.
For the past week City Manager
Blitman has been working on plans
for the Identification of Glasgow, and
bids have been received from one of
the large firms for the furnishing of
trees and planting them.
The plans call for the furnishing
of about 5000 trees of elm, box eld-
er and ash, planted at intervals of Is
feet in the boulevards, and also in the
spaces designated for parking pur-
poses. The company will furnish ex-
perts to plant the trees, each hole first
being "shot" with dynamite, to loosen
the soil SO that the roots will pene-
trate deeper into the soil.
The estimated cost of the entire i'm
provement is placed at $11,090. This
includes the placing of lawn hydrants,
as well as the planting of the trees.
Mr.. Blitman estimates the cost of hav-
ing the trees planted on the boule-
wards, and lawn hydrants installed, at
about So per lot. Two improvement
districts will be formed, the cost to be
borne relatively by each lot affected
by the improvements. The property
owners will have four years in which
to pay for the improvements, which
with the low initial cost, makes it a
worth while proposition. People who
have already planted trees and put in
lawn hydrants that meet the approx
al of the council will not have to sub
nit to the new order.
The trees will be of the seven to
eight-foot variety and are guaranteed
for two years. All defective trees will
be replaced by the company.
On boulevards where it is neces-
sary to fill in with dirt before the
trees can be planted, this work will
be done by the city and the actual
cost charged up to the owner of the
lot. Grass will also be planted by
the city and the care of the trees, the

STOCK SUFFERING FROM
SHORTAGE OF FOOD

1t is reported that the sheep men
who are wintering their flocks along
the Missouri river about 60 miles
south of Hinsdale, have already lost
hundreds of head, and unless the
snow goes shortly, they are threaten
ed with the death of many more, says
the Hinsdale Tribune. The report in
Hinsdale is that John Etchart was one
of the heavy losers. A large num-
ber of cattle owned by the Matador
Cattle company were also said to be
dying.
A shortage of feed is said to be
responsible for the death of many
head of stock along the Missouri riv-
er this winter and the unusually large
amount of snow on the ground rend-
ers it impossible for the stock to rus
tie any feed.
