The st. Paul Pioneer Press, OF recent date
says: And still the tice of cattle Dakota
and Montana ward flows on. Messrs. W.
A. Towers, Of the firm of Towers 4 Gut-
geil, aud Boise, OF Berry & Boise, have re-
turned from Little Missouri The first.
named firm own ana operate extensive
ranges in southeastern Colorado, aud will
immediately send to ranges on the Little
Missouri and Beaver rivers-a locality near
the Dakota and Montana dividing boundary
IA 600 head OF the Texas and Colorado
breeds, with some Hereiords and pure
blooded Hereford bull. Berry & Boise, who
have large ranges in the Texas panhandle,
will send 600 head at once 10 range ad-
joining that of Mr.. Towers. The latter
gentleman says he is coming to Dakota and
Montana because 1t is a magnificent grazing
country, the shelter heing abundant, the
grass exhaustless and nutritious, and he
water, olthe Beaver especially, exceptional
ly excellent. In Colorado grass is growing
scarce. Every year nowadays more cattle
are branded than there were in all the ranges
put together decade or less ago. The
prospects of drought, such as that of 1879
are also goOd-or had, rather-and all the
relief possible must be afforded the over
crowed plains oil the more southern terri
tory. MIR. Boise suOstantiated what Mr..
Towers said, and both gentlemen were en-.
thustlastic in their praises OF their new
ranges. Towers 4 Gudgell are importers
as well as herderS, snd Dave some OF of the
clearest strain Of polied-Ansus cattle in this
country. They will eventully send some of
the latter to Dakota and Montana pastures.
Extensive grounds Tor slaugher.ho
have been staked out at The Little Missouri
tor the marquis de Morres, who will add that
industry to mis- many Montana interests. The
young marquis has entered heartily into the
development OF the natural resources of the
great territory, and his comprehensive grasp
OF present conditions promises rich returns
for his investment of faith and capital.
The conditions are quite favorable at the
Little Missouri for his great stock ranches,
embracing both cattle and sheep, and his
slaughterhouse scheme will prove valuable
auxiliary. lie is investing large capital,
with such Safeguards as suggest themselves.
Fourteen Thousand sheep are soon to be-
landed upon his ranges, and purchasers are
ont with capital and commissions for $780,
900 worth OF young cattle. BY the exercise
of a judicious foresight the marquis has Sc
cured not only fine grazing ground for his
stock, but valuable and Indispensable water
privileges. He is not only acting for HIM
self, but for others, who will meet at New
ark this week and organize under the more
favorable laws of New Jersey. The large
additions to the stock total by Messrs Tow
ers and Boise will aid the slaughter house
project materially"
