Royal Brothers h
 Agreement On Visit

as bewildered and angry as he was at the turn of events. seemed to have no idea what his next move would be to occupy his restless mind. But they said that he had abandoned any idea of an early visit to the United States; that his decision was actually not Q post ponement but an abandonment.
 This, however, was the first reac- ton and the feeling persisted that later the duke again-in entirely different circumstances would go through with his Idea of taking his American born duchess back to the United States, to remain for several months. If and when he went, 1t was believed, 1t would be when he was assured that he would be well come and not be involved in politi- cal disputes.
 Future Is Uncertain
 Naturally, less than 24 hours after altering the only specific plan of activity he had, the duke was uncertain what he would-or could do to occupy himself.
 All day yesterday the duke, read- ing cablegTams and listening to telephone calls about us criticism reused in the United States over sponsorship of his intended visit by the industrial engineer, Charles D. 1edaux, stuck to his pans for his tour. As late as $40 last night, Q spokesman took occasion to repeat that he intended to 90. At the same time this spokesman warned news paper correspondents Co be ready for any announcement. Then % minutes later, in the dukes suite at the Hotel Meurice, the postpone ment of hb visit was announced.
 In Behalf Of Duke
 Tt Is announced tonight on be- half of the Duke Of Windsor that he has decided to postpone his viS- 1t to America.
 His Royal Highness arrived at this decision with great reluctance and after much deliberation, but he feels that owing to the grave mis- conceptions which have arisen and the mis-sta tements which appeared regarding the motives and purposes of his industrial tour there 8 no alternative but to defer 1t for the present.
 "The Duke emphatically repeats that there Is no shadow of juStifi- cation for any suggestion that he is allied to any industrial system or that he is for or against any par. ticular political or recial doctrine. He expresses earnest hope that after this announcement his real and sincere motive for his proposed visit to America will be property understood.

 The building was insured to the extent of $S,000 by the Hopevtlle Community club, who had leased 1t from the city for 10 years for use as 6 community center.

do, he might consider coming home.
 There are persistent reports fl, well informed quarters that the Duke won the reluctant consent Of government and court to his visits to Germany and the United States only because he announced that otherwise he would return to Erie tain.
 Sympathy For Duke
 There is every sympathy with the Duke. It is felt that, regardless of the philosophy involved, the Duke left his throne because he felt that life was impossible without the then Mrs. Wallis Simpson, whom the government regarded as un- suited to be queen of Britain and Empress of India. Nevertheless the governments attitude now is that the Duke abandoned his throne and his leadership of his people and that there is no place for him in Britain.
 The government has one weapon against the Duke. It might cause the withholding of the allowance which, nominally at least, his bro ther-successor King George makes to him. It is recognized, however, that this weapon might fail. It is regarded by some as conceivable that if 1t did, and the Duke insist ed on returning in circumstances regarded as embarrassing to the government and the present king parliament might even be asked tc enact some constitutional measure to "regularize" his position. This "regularization", the people who hold this extreme view 90 on, might entail actual exile.
 People in Britain felt sorry for the Duke today. They felt that he had been thrust. despite all hs could do, back into the monoton- ous role of a continental playhoy from which he had tried to escape

Historic Virginia City Building
to Be Restored by Government

There Is hope for Virginia Citv's
famed historic locations, according "a
w. r. Rankin, an employe OF the United
States department Of the interior, who
has had charge Of developing Morrison
cave.
the federal government plans construc-
ton Of a heWed log and native stone
building-early day Virginia City arch
itecture-on some historic site IN exact
duplication Of the original building, the
memory Of which 1t Is proposed to
perpetuate.
The government representative nro-
poses TO interview Virginia City resi-
dents for the purpose Of learning
which building would, In their opinion,
be most suitable for restoration. He
stated that Tom Castle, owner Of the
Madisonian is in his opinion the best
informed man In the early day capital
regarding things historical.
Residents Pleased
Louis Romey, 73, native Of Virginia
City, announced recently that Virginia
City is pleased with federal interest
in its relics.
Romey says his father was a friend
of William Fairweather, who led the
prospecting party into Alder gulch TO
make Montana gold mining history.
He says Fairweather declared that his
tory was wrong and he discovered the
gold in the fan of 1852 instead of the
spring Of 1853 as history states. Fair
weather and five companions were on
their way to Emigrant gulch near
Helena from Bannack and camped at
what is now Virginia City, he said,
following an Indian attack. Their
camp was about where the Thompson
Hickman museum now stands, on Main
street, about quarter mile from Alder
gulch.
Romey's story also takes issue with
locators of this site of the first gold
strike A monument marks this sup
posed place in Alder gulch. It was
erected by A. j. Davis in memory Of
his uncle, A. j. Davis. But Romey says
declared that gold was
discovered near their camp. A picketed |
horse had wound the rope around a |
sagebrush. Fairweather says he had to
pull up the brush to disentangle the I
rope-and noticed colorS. He, Romey |
said, panned some of the dirt and re-
covered about IS worth of gold. This I
would indicate that the panning was |
lone in Daylight gulch instead Of Alder
yulch. The museum stands on an in
cline that slants into Daylight gulch,
several hundred yards from the Alder

LAMB MARKET Is
BETTER THAN Sc
UNITED STATES AGRICULTURE
BUREAU SAYS CONDITIONS
IMPROVED

Average condition Of lambs mar
keted this fan frosn western states
win be somewhat better than I'm
1886. Improvement, the bureau Of
agricultural economics Of the United
States department Of agriculture
said, was the result Of generally
favorable range conditions Ia nearly
all Of the areas from which the
supply Of lambs marketed after
Aug. I came.
Marketings of sheep and lambs from
the 13 western sheep producing states
during the fall of 1897 are expected
to be about two percent smaller than
the number sold during the last five
months of 1886, the report released By
Jay @. Diamond Montana statfstician
for the bureau, said.
Most OF the decrease was expected
to be in the number of ewes sent to
market, with the number Of lambs
sold expected to be about the same
as in 1886.
The 1886 lamb crop In the west was
estimated at 1927, 600 head.
The number of feeder lambs sold
under contract for fall delivery by
Aug. was the largest in several years,
the report added
There was a relatively large decrease
in the number of early lambs shipped
from Montana before Aug. 1, as COM
pared with the same period of 1895,
when drouth conditions forced heavy
early movements.
