The police have issued invitations for
Years night.
The wolves in this vicinity are getting
numerous. Joe Carr lost tour sheep out
OF lis corral by them lately.
Three lnen deserted from Fort Walsh
i short time ago. Two Of them were

the country. As many as from 1itteen
| 10 twenty deer have been killed i'll one

Belly.
A theatrical company has been formed
at the fort, and we understand that it is
the intention TO give u series OF enter
%tainnlenls IN the recreation room this
winter, the fist to he some time about
the middle OF the present month. The
proceeds are for the benefit OF the recrea-
ton room. A great deal OF pains is be-
ing taken to insur re a tirst-class enteriain-
nlent. Due notice will be given Of he
date.
The rails are laid on the G. p. railroad
ffty-tive miles west Of Swift Current
creek. Grading is completed TO Maple
creek, and within ten miles OF Medicine
Hat. and had it not been or a strike
during the storm, the rails would now
, be laid at Medicine Hat.

q short time ago. for a recreation room,
4 being found unsuitable for that purpose,

the large room on the south side OF the

The Montana Cattle Trade.

Speaking of the Montana cattle trade,
an exchange says that four years ago no
to exceed 4. 0A0 or 5000 head OF GA tie
came out of Montana and sought eastern
markets via the Northern Pacific and
IFS connections. This season the North
ern Pacific handled 1902 head out Of
Montana between the 18th of September
AMI October 18th. The daily average
now coming out of the territory is. prac-
tical'y. all that the railroad mas facilities
for handling, and will make an aggre-
CAT e for the present Month Of nearly Or
gu tie equal to that Of the four weeks
above recorded. During the season up
t. the first Of September about lo,ooc
head came out, 50 that to the present
ii me it may be estimated in ound mum
t,ers that the Northern Pacific mas
brought out Of Montana not less thar
40 900 head, with the season not owe
twn-thirds gone. These figures very
clearly demonstrate that the toe Q
) shinment eastward Of Montana caft''
will flow in the channel OF the Norfherl
| Pacific to the limit of the capacity 0
that channel.

PROSPECT PARK.

Among the breeders who are max
ing efforts to improve the cattle of the
West is Walter Treadwell, of An
thony, Kansas. He now has over
800 head of high grade and thor
oughbred Short-horn and Hereford
cattle at Prospect Park. Of these
175 are high grade and thorough
Short-horn cows, which are drop
ping calves that are simply "daisies"
and can't be beat. 1t has been but
a short time since Mr.. Treadwell
added number of thor'obred COWS
and four thoroughbred Short-horn
bulls from the celebrated herd of
Albert Crane, of Durham Park, Kan.
At the head Of his fine herd, Mr..
Treadwell has "Uncle Ben" pure
bred Hereford, whose value as a
breeder has been fully established.
He gives as his opinion that the
Herefords are much the best cattle
for the West, being splendid "rus-
tiers" and capable of making a good
living on the prairies of this country.
He will keep one Short-horn bull,
to maintain his herd Of that breed,
the others, and they are first class
animals, are for sale. He informed
us that in the spring of 1888 he will
have q number of young Herefords
and Short-horns of his own breed
ing, for sale to ranchmen. Ho is
putting forth every effort to produce
such breeding animals as are need
ed by Western ranchmen, and we
mistake if he is not we'll paid for his
trouble. There never was a time
when Western stockmen were so
anxious to improve their cattle as
at present, and this desire will in
crease as the benefits become more
apparent. This will make a ready
market for all the good animals that
can be produced.

Mr.. p. "A. Romick has received q

now nearly every fine Saturday you
may see him starting out over the

enjoys very much.
Much credit is due Miss M. M.
Meline for the success of the Friday
evening dancing entertainment that
is in vogue here, for the entertain
ment of the Indian children. Tho
gathering last Friday evening show
ed that that sort of instruction was
much enjoyed both by the Indian
children and the white folks who
were present. We hope that all fu-
ture attempts will prove equally

The prairie fire that burned over
part of Sheridan and Rawlins
counties last week, finally drifted
into Colorado, and was still burning
when the snow and sleet came, which
latter had dampening effect upon
it. Many miles of territory were
burned over, but fortunately there
were no settlements to be harmed
by it. 1t was the largest prairie fire
that ever occurred in the State, be-
yond a doubt, and is said to have
originated from a spark from Kan

A Vanderbilt Suicide.

New York, April 3.--Cornelius J. Van
derbilt, brother of VIM. H. Vanderbilt,
shot himself at the Glenham hotel, Fifth
avenue, yesterday at . o'clock, and died
from the effect ofthe wound at O'Clock.
From the time Of the shooting until
death Vanderbilt was unconscious.
Many friends of the dead man and
members Of his family were present
when lie passed away. The motive for
the fact given by his friends is that it
was the result of mental arrangement
brought on by years of suffering from
epileptic fits. No other reason could be
given, as his financial affairs are said to
be in most prosperous condition.

Chinese gSiU Jefoe6

Washington, April i.-The president
sent message to the senate vetoing the
Chinese bill
The vital objection Of the president is
to the twenty years suspension of i'm
migration which he construes as vIrtu-
ally prohIbitory and therefore vioative
of the spirit if not Of the letter of nego-
tiations upon which the treaty was
based, and as a breach of national faith.
The message calls attention to the pro-
position made by the United States com
missioners on this point, and a counter
proposition on the part of China, to
show that the understanding of the
latter country in the agreement which
was ultimately made was that immigra-
ton would be limited or restricted to q
reasonable period. The president then
points ont other features of the act
which in his opinion can be modified to
advantage. A system Of personal
registration and passports is specifically
mentioned as undemocratic AID hostile
to our constitution, and he alludes to
the omission Of the act To make any
provision for the transit to China Of
Chinese subjects now settling in foreign
countries, to which subject the president
adds his attention has been called by
the Chinese minister. The message re-
ferred to the alleged benefits to its in
dustry derived to the Pacific slope by
