This is a serious question, and demands
immediate attention. A saving of two and
a half cents a head on shearing will pay
nearly one-half of the final tax payment.
It's worth a few days of your time"
On the subject Of markets, the secretary
says:
"The wool buyers are certainly quiet
and there is little activity in the state. 1t
is estimated that with the $4,000 feeces
sold In the northern part Of the state at
34c to 35c that over go per cent OF the 1927
Montana clip has been contracted. Thirty
FIVE cents Is the top price paid so far.
Wool consumption during 1926 exclud-
ing carpet wool was slightly over l020
consumption. Apparently the greater sta
bility In raw wool price during the latter
part of 1926 led to some return OF conf
dence among manufacturers Unless there
Is q recession In general business activity
there Is no reason to expect a decrease In
the domestic demand.
Domestic prices on all grades Of wool
declined materially during the first half Of
1925, but advanced slightly during the sec
ond half Of the year and prices In January
and February were about 5 per cent or
better above the December closing sales.
Grease wool prices for the first week Of
1927 were from g to 10c lower than they
were a year earlier.
"In view OF the foreign situation and the
unusually light stocks In mills In this
country, and In view OF the fact that the
present available supplies Of domestic woods
are about the same as the beginning Of
1926, the wool market will probably con-
tinue at about present levels. Apparently
wool prices are more staple than at any
time since the World war.
lambs
"There has been no contracting OF lambs
that we know Of, although 9hc has been
offered. Lambs have acted true to color
and the Chicago price has hit the high
point at S1G.50. The top in March, 1926,
was S13.25 and the average top for March.
1922 and 1925, was s10.24. With an average
lambing percentage and fewer W lambs
held, market supplies during the second
half OF 1927 may be somewhat larger than
1926. Consumer demand viii probably
continue strong bnt feeder demand Ia not
likely to be ps good as In 1926"

was level-it did not sag In the middle.
Whether the artist was with the Rife
men or not. he made no more sketches after
reaching Bear River, where the Rihemen
left the California trail for that leading to
Oregon. He may have continued the jour-

The cholera was prevalent In 40, and the
next year. Many of the emigrants died Of
it. Major Cross tells of one party Of four
teen. Within one days time, six of these
died and another was at the point of
death, and the rest were too Ill to assist
In burying the dead"
Not only the emigrants, but their cattle
died In great numbers. Major Cross writes,
July 6: This was the first day we had
observed that the cattle of the emigrants
were dying, and 1t is a lamentable sight
to see these fine animals lying along the
road at distances of not more than a few
hundred yards apart; and in one instance
| saw where an entire team had been
stricken down where they stood linked to-
gether to commence their daily work. The
death of the oxen was attributed to their
drinking alkali water, and to overwork.

out by there being no sketches of the coup-
try beyond Bear river.
The Journal states that but few persons
have seen the fifty sketches which still re-
main in the receptacle In which they were
brought to Madison. In the course OF time
they will be reproduced in a record OF the
Historical Society. Those published In the
Journal, and which accompany this article,
are the first given to the public. They are

The sketches seem to have been dated,
and from this we know the artist was at
Weston, Missouri, May 2, 1849. The Jour
nal continues: How long he remained
there and at FIT. Leavenworth, is not
known, but on June 3 he was sketching at
TT. Kearny, where the Mounted Rife regi-
ment had arrived May 80. He may have

1--WE had been travelling for the last
three days, on a trail made by the Oregon
expedition, but had not proceeded very far
this morning before a new scene broke
suddenly upon our view. We here came
into a road as large as any public highway
in the United States, leading from st.

Pre-Shearing LOANS Now
BEING Made to Woolmem

A ENCOURAGEMENT Is going out to
~ wool growers that the Montana
Wool Cooperative Marketing
association is prepared now to make
prior-to-shearing loans of 81 a head,
at the interest rate of 6 per cent per
annum. Such loans will be retired
from the advance of money made
when the wool is shipped, the rest to
be RENTED to the grower.
This financial assistance was made pos
sible In a bill, sponsored by the Montana
Wool association, passed at the
recent session of the state assembly.
Another piece Of beneficial legislation
having passed was the. new state land bin.
IF the bill as originally presented had be-
come a law" says the secretary, Murray ID.
Stebbins, ut certainly would have worked
extreme hardships on the sheep industry
in Montana"
The association put through also, a new
bear-killing law, under which sheepmen can
lawfully hunt and kill bear at any time
and chase them with dogs.
Opposes Sheep shcarcrs' Scale
The association is strongly opposing the
scale OF 10 cents and boarl which Is being
demanded this year by the sheepshearers'
union. In the current news letter, the Sec
rotary says:
1.-THE union can set a price of 10 cents
but are you wool growers going to pay It'll
You will not have to pay the unreasonable
price OF Is cents If you will but work to-
gether.
"Sheepshearers seem to forget that wool
prices have declined Is cents a pound. and
more, during the past two years. Three
years ago, sheepsbearers talked about a
sliding scale--at that time prices happened
to be advancing. The growers paid the
price asked. Now, with prices considerably
below what they we're then, there appears
to be no inclination for the shearers TO
adopt the sliding scale. The sliding scale
has worked hne-only 1t appears to slide
up, not d0wn IL is time to call a halt.
THE question OF shearing wages Is to be
considered at Chinook, March 81; Malta,
April 1; Glasgow, April 2; Columbus,
March 20; Miles City, April z; Martinsdale.
