The Northern Montana Ranges.


Benton, Mont, Pioneer Press Correspondence.
The herds of cattle, sheep and
horses throughout Montana are Ia
excellent condition. As the result OF
observation and inquiry, I believe the
losses since last November will not
exceed l per cent. Never before has
there been 80 much inquiry for cattle
and sheep for the establishment Of
new stock enterprises, and 1t Is very
evident that all the stock ranges Of
Montana will be occupied In a short
time. That Fart of Montana from Its
northern boundary east Of the main
Rocky mountain range, to the north
of the Dearborn river, thence east of
the beet range to a point on the yell
lowstone nea Livingston, constituting
the great stock range Of Montana and
including the Blaokfoot res
ervation, comprises about 100,-
600 square miles. OF all
this country, there Is scarcely q square
foot that does not produce the gramma
grass, blue-jolnt and bunch grasses.
Every where over this extensive area
cattle and sheep ranches are being
established. The Musselshell river,
from Martinsdale to the Bad lands, q
distance of $50 miles, together with
Its tributaries heading In the Big
Snowy mountains, will all be occupied
by sheep men the present season, and
the enterpristng town Of Billings will
be Its depot for supplies and outfit
ting. The Judith basin, which two
years ago was the fav-rlte spot for
Indians and the buffalo, Is everywhere
BEING taken by stookmen and farmers.
Prospectors for good ranges are begin.

the rich grazing lands Of the Milk

Corporations
San Francisco Call.

San Francisco Call.
The device by which a number of
men pool their possessions, or q part
or them, In q corporate body not sub
ject to the physical laws of decay and
death, Is a triumph of mind over mat.
ter. The richest man dies and his
properly Is distributed; the corporate
body never dies and Its property Is
never distributed. 1t goes on accu.
mulating year after year and genera.
ton after generation, and Is kept
young and vigorous by the infusion Of
new blood In the management as
the old heads are called to account.
There is no harm In this association
of capital so long as the people hold
corporate bodies subject to law. Bat
a king holding his power by divine
right would not be more dangerous
to popular rights than a syndicate of
corporations which either makes laws
or breaks them-which ~disregards
those 1t does not make. For some
years the city of New York has been
gravitatipg toward this condition. 1t
is o wholly In the hands of corpora.
tions. Its newspapers represent asso-
ciated capital. Its pulpit utters nothing
that gives corporate bodies offence. II
Is the boast OF Its organs of public ex.
preston that New York has outbid all
rival cities In Its Inducements to capt.
tai, and has thus drained other cities
of their richest men. 1t was vaguely
stated some days since that there were
twenty California millionsires In New
York, driven there by the prosecutions
of the sand lot. A day or two since
the World, an organ Of corporations,
which deceives very few people by
assuming to be an organ of the demo-
cracy, had the following:

government is founded. For many
years New York has been tempting
men of wealth from smaller cities by
promising them their own way.
When our California millionsires
discovered some years ago that there
were both purpose and power In
the people to hold them In
check, they fed for refuge to New
York. The press and the politicians
welcomed them warmly. In New..York
1t was said, In effect, there is no sand

thrown upon real estate and tangible
personal property. A man could not

who did not veal the corporate collar.

1t is not yet known how much the

During the ninety days ending Sept. 80
there was q falling of from last years
customs receipts $9,447 1873, and Of in

Miscellaneous receipts show a decrease

1t is hard to determine what causes
