The high price of beef in Denver, the
chief city OF a state which is rapidly becom-
ing Il great cattle-raisiog region, has excited
the surprise of the editor of he Republican.
He argued that Colorado, being primary
market beet ought to De cheap Yet the
TACT stared him III The face hat Denver
butchers are receiving dressed Missouri
beef in reirigera' or-cars, from Kansas CITY
In large quantities, which trade is rapidly
growing. Upon invest CATION il is declared
that the fault lies with the Colorado cattle
men. Less than DOZEN men control the
Colorado ranches. Prices are, therefore,
held up to the demands of the cattle-owners.
Spring cattle on the hoof in Denver, three
years ago, were sold al &c per pound; &c
and 6ic is asked Tor the same TODAY, and
holders are not anxious to sell. 1t they do
not dispose of their stock at that figure
they can afford to let the cattle run. Hence
four-litths of The beef sold in Denver come
from the east, as mentioned. The intro
duction of beef from Missouri does not an.
pear, as yet, to have affected the Colorado
! ranchmen.
The Billings (Montana territory Herald
says: A general belief exists through the
east, particularly among farmers of mode
rate means. that Montana is intended for
e"p'lo hihSo ohiy, as uuT correspondents
rarely allude to punches of less than a
thousand head, thus giving the impression
that the large dealers lun out the smaller
ones, and that only heavy operators can
make stock-ralsing success. This is an er-
ror, though the man of means may have
cattle ION a thousand hills" he can only
claim, obtain apd hold government land II
the same manner and quantity as the poor
man-vlz., 100 acres by demonstrating, l6C
acres by presumption, ard the same under
the timber-culture act. The government
protects the poor man as well as The rich
II a farmer in the east with 10 head of COWS
can afford to pasture them on land costing
500 per acre and sell butter at 20c per pound
he certainly can save money by pasturine
the same mum Der OF cattle on the land here
that costs nothing, where at all seasons Of
the year he has ready market tor his but

yield him living, his dairy, increase Of
stock, and improved valuation of land, will
In few years permit him to wear crown
with the other cattle kings.
