MONTANA WOOL CLIP
BRINGS LESS IN

Montana's 1888 wool clip was slightly
larger than the year before but re-
turned about s3,OOOOOO less to grow
ers. Jay G. Diamond. federal agricul-
tural statistician, announced.
More sheep were shorn in 1888 than
in 1887 and fleeces averaged i pound
heavier, but the price slump from 80
to 10 cents depressed the market value,
he reported.
In 1898, 2,5500Oo sheep yielded u.s.
245,O00 pounds of wool, the average
fleece weighing SO pounds. The entire
clip sold for s4,797 600. The 1887 clip,
which sold for s7.965 900, weighed "a
1872 900 pounds and was clipped from
2,54O,0O0 sheep, the average fleece
weighing 98 pounds
Texas sheared the greatest number
of sheep in 1898, e,742,O 900 yielding TO-
305 900 pounds of WOOL also the largest
clip in the United States. Second big
bounds and California was third with
28,237,000 pounds.

PROTEST INSECT
CONTROL SLASH
WESTERN GOVERNORS MAY SEND
DELEGATION TO WASHING
TON ABOUT IT
Suggestion of Montana Senators Is
Discussed by Executive Board of
State Chamber of Commerce at
Meeting in Helena.

In an effort to obtain more
money for insect control work,
governors of western states which
are threatened with grasshopper
and Mormon cricket invasions this
summer may form delegation to
present their problems to officials
at the national capital, Manager
William G. Ferguson of Mon
tanans, Inc, said.
Formation of such a delegation
was suggested by Montana's sena-
tors when congress cut the insect con-
troll appropriation from S6,00o,0 900 to
$1,000, 900. Western authorities contend
the latter sum is insufficient to COM
bat the insect pest menace in the %
states affected, especially Montana:
Wyoming and the DakotaS. The insect
damage in Montana alone amounted
to more than 100000 last year, Mr..
Ferguson said.
At a meeting here of the executive
committee of Montanans, Inc, G. R.
McClave of Great Falls, former presi-
dent of the organization, was designat-
ed to represent 1t as national councillor
at the annual meeting, in Washington,
d. c., May l to 4, of the United States
Chamber of Commerce.
The committee discussed the $780,
622600 reclamation bill passed by the
house March 16, blister rust control,
the wheat situation, a bill to establish
a department of public works, another
to authorize further relief to water
users on federal and Indian bureau
reclamation projects and one to au-
thorize construction of numerous
water conservation and utilization
projects in the arid and semiarid great
plains region of the United States.
Consideration was given the request
of Schubert Dyche, athletic coach at
Montana State college, Bozeman, that
Sept. 16 be made Montana day at the
San Francisco worlds fair. The Bobcat
football team will play San Jose Junior
college there that day, and the Bobcat
band will be on hand for the event,
Mr. Dyche said in his request. The
matter will be discussed further with
Governor Ayers and the Montana fair
commission.

MissouIa Man lnventS
New Type of Firearm

An entirely new type of rifle
has been invented by Bob Schultz,
of MissOula. The rifle, an automatic
which may be made a semi-aut0-
matte, holds so cartridges and
works with a ratchet rather than
with a spring.
The rifle. every piece of which
Schultz turned out on a lathe
which he made, Is no larger than
an ordinary rifle of the same cali
Der, and except for the slight ad-
ditional weight of the shells weighs
no more than any other rifle of the
same bore.
The shells are held upright in a
long chamber under the barrel, and
the defamation of the cartridges
works the ratchet and the cham
Der mechanism.
The same principle can be ap-
piled to machine guns, Schultz says.
A patent recently was given him
on the gun, and several of the
large munitions firms have been
dealing with him.
