THE FUR MARKET

More than $50 buyers represents
ing the strongest fur interests OF the
world entered actively into the bid
ding at the opening of the recent
spring auction sale of furs in st.
Louis and continued buying not only
late into the evenings of the two days
set aside for the sales but remained
over an extra day to get an oppor-
tunity to bid for every type of fur
listed.
AS usual the keenest interest was
shown in the bidding for the Alaska
sealskin offering of the United States
government. The large offering of
1918 dressed, dyed, machined and
finished skins brought a total of
$4,000 in less than three hours
selling. The ever increasing demand
for Alaska sealskins is tribute to
the efficiency of the government in
the management of its extensive fur
properties on the far-off Pribilof
Islands. Incompatible in beauty and
ease of handling, these skins natural
ly command the favor not only of
the manufacturer and designer, but
of the discriminating wearer of furs
as we'll.
P. B. Fouke, head of the Fouke
Fur company, st. Louis, personally
auctioned the offerings of the United
States government. Henry O'Malley,
commissioner of fisheries, and Ste
phen B. Davis, solicitor for the de-
partment of commerce, were present
at the sale in the interests of the
government.
Following the sale of government
furs, the Fur Merchants Sales COM
pany took the auction stand and pro-
ceeded with the sale of furs from all
over the world. The skins of musk
rat, mink, skunk, racoon, and opos-
sum from the country districts and
even the lowly house cat from the

(By John Scott MiIIsl

There were two newspapers pub
nshed in Bozeman when the North
ern Pacific railroad was under con-
struction in Montana, and the Gala
tin valley metropolis was the end of
the track for some time Order was
preserved as whole, and yet the
town was wide open. Railroad
workers, soldiers from Fort Ellis and
soldiers of fortune from everywhere
and residents of the valley were
dairy and nightly visitors. They
were good spenders when they had
the price, and they got action on
thelr money at the gambling tables
and in other ways. Captain John
Smith came from somewhere and
erected the largest building of it's
kind in the city, for the sale of Ii
quid groceries and for gambling.
The rooms were lavishly furnished,
thousands of dollars having been
spent for fixtures and among these
was large statue of Mercury, which
stood at the end of the bar over
large safe.
AS editor of the Avant Courier at
the time, part of my duties con-
sisted of gathering local news. While
on this quest one evening, went
into Smiths place and stopped to
talk to an acquaintance. We were
standing close to the statue of the
son of Jupiter and Maia, when two
shots rang out. 1 saw at a glance
the men who were doing the shoot
ing, and this was obtained as I vault
ed the railing and took refuge back
OF the safe, where two other men had
preceded me. AS / recall there were
Two more shots fired, and then fol- |
lowed the quiet which always comes,
and we who were in hiding ventured
forth. The principals in the affair
were named Hoppe and Walters.
Patsy Walters lay upon the floor. |
A cursory examination showed that |
he had been shot in the abdomen. |
Hoppe was unhurt. His first shot |
had hit the tripper guard on Wal
tiers gun and rendered it useless.
The latter shot but once, and it seem
ed that the first shots were stimuli
taneOus. 1t was the second or third /
shot that put Walters down. He was
carried to his room nearby and Doc
tor Foster called. The doctor was
my next door neighbor, and when he
made second visit to the wounded
man he asked me to accompany him.
Walters was unconscious and beyond
human aid, according to the physi-
clan. He was bleeding internally,
and death was imminent. The end
came in a few hours.

When the coming of the notables
to witness the driving of the golden
spike was announced, the special
trains carrying the visitors from the
east were scheduled to arrive in
Bozeman at 800 a. M, and prepare
lions were made to receive them and
entertain them during their stay.
The two weekly papers, the Courier
and the Chronicle, arranged for the
full Associated Press dispatches for
the day, the headings were changed
from weekly to daily, and large edi-
lions printed. We had all the latest
world happenings in type for our
visitors and this called forth many
favorable comments regarding the
enterprise of the publishers.
The trains were to make stop of
three hours, and a display of Gala
tin valley products was made at the
depot. With the other exhibits was
that of Spieth & Krug, brewers, and
a number of cases of their bottled
goods were exhibited. Carter Harri-
son, mayor of Chicago, was among
those present. AS he walked along
the platform he saw the Spieth &
Krug section, and said: "Ahl Sam
pies! Well, well; we'll see how they
TASTE" and a bottle went into each
of his coat pockets, two others were
tucked under his arms and two adj
ditional ones carried in his hands.
There were conveyances in waiting
to carry the visitors through the city,
and many availed themselves of the
opportunity to view the business and
residence sections. General Grant
was among these.
When the date of the driving of
the golden spike was announced, the
Bozeman people decided to celebrate
the completion of the railroad in a
fitting manner. Judge H. N. Ma
guire, who was the publisher of the
first newspaper in Bozeman - The
Pick and Plow-was to be orator of
the day. He was a fluent, graceful
writer and speaker of ability. He
always wrote out his addresses and
memorized them. He was possessed
Of a wonderfully retentive memory
and his speech was reproduction
Of the written address to word.
I wanted this address for publica-
lion, but when 1 asked for the copy

FARM MORTGAGES
SHOW BIG INCREASE

Interesting testimony on the severe
suffering of the agricultural masses
was presented the other dav to the
Interstate Commerce Commission in
its healings on grain and hay freight
rates.
Despite the fact that many loans
were actually charged by the banks
there has been a great decline of the
total of the loans and discounts car
ried by the state banks. Home
steads free from debt a few wears
ago, were being mortgaged in order
to guarantee possession. Mr.. G. w
1890 none of this land was mortgaged
HYDE of Oklahoma points cut that in
and went on to say that: ain 1900
mortgages had been placed on 9.2 per
cent of the Oklahoma farms. In 1910
the mortgaged farms represented As.
per cent of all the farms in the State
and in 1920, 60.6 per cent of all the
farms were mOrtgaged."
Add to this the recent release of
the Department Of Agriculture On the
differences between the price of bread
in the cities and the price of wheat
and flour in the agricultural districts.
This bulletin states that: "a pound of
bread which in Minneapolis in 1874
cost 5.3 cents now costs approximately
9 cents, which the -four from which
| it is made csst $4.45 a barrel in 1913
IA and now cests $3.50. Allowing
$50 losves Of bread to the barrel, the
margin between the price Of the flour
and the price of the bread produced
from it has increased frSm $1s.40 to
| $3.50"
