Many citizens on foot and teams followed, making a pro- cession several lilockn long, and pn'senting a very attractive and Im j pn'ssive apiK-arance.

American Hag covered the marble ' "haft from view, which was removed during the unveiling exercises by the latter order. The program wus lis tened to by many eople, and was interesting and impressive. After the ceremony the A. O.Y. W.

Already the disastrous storm that visited Montana is affecting the wool i market, as the following taken from the Huntington Herald will show: "Fifteen cents was offered for one clip of wool in Boise which was re fused by the owuer. Owing to the shortage of the Montana clip, the dealers are bidding a trifle beyond what the eastern market warrauts. It is the general lielief that wool will reach 1(! cent;' liefoiv the season clos es." A Big Deal.
