Plans for the organization of the
National Wool Exchange, to be
composed entirely of western wool
| growers and bankers identified
| with the stock growing industry,
were perfected recently in Helena
at one of the most representative
gatherings of wool men and bank
ers ever held in the state.
The exchange will be capitalized
for 100000, will maintain head
quarters in Helena, with sales of
fees and warehouses in Boston, anc
will be in the nature of reorgan
| ization of the National Wool Ware
house and Storage company, which il
now being liquidated. The exchange
will be ready for operation by Marcel
1, 1925, and will take over the or.
ganization forces of the predecessor
company.
The organization committee, con
sisting of T. A. NARROW and S. Nc
KEENAN, of Helena, j. H. Gilbert, Dill
lon, and F. M. Burks, Chinook, bank
ers; J. o. Berg, Lennep; M. T. Trask,
Ballantine; George X. Ree1er, Craig
Roy T. Clary, Great Falls; and Arth-
ur Ward, Helena, growers, presented
a plan which was adopted, whereby
it was provided that it shall be an
organization composed of and con-
trolled by the wool growers and their
financial hackers; that it be organ
lied without promotion profit, and
that every dollar received from stock
subscriptions shall be placed in the
treasury of the company for COM
pany purposes. The stock is to be
worcestershire and distribution is re-
commended on a basis of 121a cents
for each head of sheep owned by a
subscriber.
Every one of the numerous bank
ers who attended the meeting pledg-
ed support to the organization. Tele-
graphic advices we're received from
various wool growing sections of
Wyoming and South Dakota pledg-
ing support to the movement and
meetings will be held in each of these
states by representatives of the new
exchange shortly. The Incorporation
of the exchange will be consUmmated
in due time, after which will be held
a meeting of the stockholders for the
purpose of electing a board of dir
ectors.

puently seen, although horses were
then plentiful.
In winter dogs drew sledges, as
they do now in Alaska, and elsewhere
in the extreme north. Most of these
sledges were of the toboggan type.
The method of constructing these
is described by Paul Haworth: "A
common way to make a sledge of
the last sort is to take a board of
hardwood about half an inch thick,
fifteen or twenty inches wide, and
eight or ten feet long. Steam and
bend one end up in the form OF a half
circle. Sometimes two narrower
The circle banner. [volume] (Circle, Mont.) 1914-1939, 1924-11-21

boards are used instead of one. To
this board a light box-like frame is
dashed with rawhide, if the sledge is
intended to carry passenger, and
this box is lined with frs to keep the
occupant warm. If designed primar-
lily for freight purposes, however, a
wrapper of moose or caribou hide
may be dashed to the board, the load
is slowed inside this, and then the
wrapper is laced on top, SO that in
case of a capsize, nothing can fall
out and all that is necessary is for
the driver to right the sledge." When
the snow is deep man goes ahead
to break road.
This going ahead could not be ac-
complished without snowshoes, and
they are always needed in the north
country after heavy snowfall by
white or red hunter or trapper. The
squaws manufacture them in the fall
with thongs of rawhide and bent
wood, and it is, perhaps, superflu-
Gus to state that these snowshoes are
not skis, but fthe Canadian var
iety, which are most useful when the
snow is unfrozen. The snowshoe
used for breaking a track, is some
times five feet long, and fifteen
inches wide. =

was in this manner that goods were
transported to and from the COM
pany's posts, but it was not in this
way altogether they were brought
in by the Indians and trappers. The
canoes operated only when the rivers
and lakes were not frozen over.
Sometimes, if the snow was not
too deep, the Red River carts were
used. The wooden axles of these
were never creased, and screechingly
protested at every revolution of the
wheels. The half-breeds who in
vented, or at least principally took

ton, once being asked why they did
not do something to stop the I'M

these carts were ever used
west of the Rockies, I cannot say.
Until the horse found its way to
the northwest, either through trade
or theft, squaws or dogs were the
burden bearers of the Indians. The
dogs came to be of many breeds, but

most of these Westerners are fam

were available, and then in many
sections it was impossible for them
to be drawn over mountains, or
through rugged passes.
After the discovery of gold in
Montana, burro trains were often
seen coming into the mining camps,
led by the gaily caparisoned donkey
that wore a bell at its neck, but it
is doubtful whether they were used
on this side of the Rockies in fur
trading days.

late conner in the fur country as
has already been stated. Drawn by
oxen, mules, or horses, it numbered
along over the plains and mountains,
carrying the pioneers to their new
homes in the west or north, and
freight to the mines and the lower
fur posts. II was never designed for
rapid travel, and in this could not
compete with the travels.

SALT IN THE SEA is
CARRIED THERE BY RIVERS

Strange it seems to one at first con-
sidering the subject that, altho the
sea must originally have been formed
of distilled water-that is, CONCEALED
watery vapor-and tho all the rivers
that flow into it, estimated to amount
in the aggregate to $500 cubic miles
of water every year, are fed exclu-
sively by rainfall, which is also distil-
led water, it should nevertheless be ex-
tremely brackish, strongly salt in the
tropics and less at the poles
Yet it is chiefly the rivers that ac-
count for the sa1tness of the sea. 1t is
estimated that they carry something
like 100,000000 tons of saline matter
into the ocean every year, and, furth-
er, that the ocean holds in suspension
no less than 14O,OOO,OOO,000 tons of
salt, a quantity sufficient, if extracted,
to cover the dry surface of the earth
to a depth of 400 feet. 1t is believed
that 100000 years have been re-
quired for the sea to attain its present
saltness.

EDG 4OLKS-Place piece of wax
paper over dish holding unused egg
yolks and they will not get dry.
PAINTED WALLS To remove
marks on painted walls caused bv str;-
KING matches on them, rub with the
cut surface of lemon-then clean
with cloth dipped in whiting. Wash
the surface with warm water and soan
and then wipe quickly with a clean
cloth wrung out of clear water.
BROOMS-A broom will last long

CARPET-After beating a carpet

two tablespoonfuls of menthylated spir

brings out the color and does not in
any way injure the carpet.
SPOONS-Mix mustard with milk

be absorbed by the starch.
RlCE-Stir rice with a fork while
cooking instead of spoon and the

BLANKETS-When washing new
blankets for the first time, soak them
over night in cold water and then
