A Dangerous Man.

@#@.#H
Senator Vest seems to know a little
too much about Montana for the good of
some people; having exhausted the cat
tie question the next thing we know he
will be calling for information as to the
number of Missourians running at large
in the territory and other matters of i'm
port that should be as secret as the
grave. We find this in the senate pro-
ceedings:
Mr.. Vest offered a resolution, which
was agreed to, calling on the secretary
Of the interior for information as to
whether a lease has been made of any
part of the Grow reservation in Montana
to any person OF association il so, the
extent Of such lease, upon what terms
made and by what authority Of law such
action had been taken; also whether
any permit had been given to Craze cat
lie on that rese rvation, and if so, by
what authority OF law it has been done.

r. S. Tingley hands US the following
letter received by him in answer to a
letter of inquiry about land and cattle
in Mexico and Texas. The writer is
thoroughly acquainted with Montana
as well as the country from where he
writes, and his answer should be of spe-
cial interest to those wo think they
could better their condition by selling
their herds in Montana and investing
in the south. Consul General Sutton is
a friend and relative of Mr.. Tingley.
The letter is as follows:
u. S. CONSULATE GENERAL,
MATAMoRAs, Feb. %. 1884.
r. s. IEngley, Esq, Fort Benton, Mon
tnna:
DEAR SIR:-In reply to your inquiries
as to land and cattle in Mexico, dated
the 9Th ult., it is hard to answer fully.
There are some openings in this state,
but whether they would suit you or not
is hard to say. If you have time and
wish to look over the field you can then
determine for yourself. Personally, [
think that if you are doing fairly you
had best stay there.
An earlier reply has been prevented
by my absence up river Oh duty. Very
respectfully, your obedient servant,
WARNER P. SUTTON,
Consul General.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Live Stock
Journal at Cheyenne, writing from Fort
Benton, who signs himself "Dutchy,"
says that big jaw is not a hereditary di-
sease, as some stockmen suppose, but is
caused by a new grinder tooth growing
alongside Of an old one in a three-year-
old animal. The writer has seen this
cured in the "fatherland' by. pulling
one of the extra teeth out. After that,
is done the jaw ecovers it's original
shape and size and the animal recovers
from the malady. If any of our well
posted stockmen who read the RIVER
PRESS have any information about this
disease, as to its causes or cures, We wish
they would communicate their knowl-
edge to us for publication. Many thous-
ands of dollars are lost to Montana
stockmen every year by having to dis
pose of their big jawed steers at half
price in an eastern market.

Cattle Disease.

EMPoRIA, Kan, March "a great
number of prominent cattle dealers held
a public meeting this evening to take
steps for the suppression of the cattle
plague. 1t is known that a foot and
mouth disease exists in a malignant form
at Neosho Falls. Several cattle were
found to be affected yesterday, and are
reported to be in a bad state. A resolu-
ton was adopted urging the citizens of
the affected district to use all means in
their power to stamp out the disease. 1t
is believed this car be done.
Since the publication of the telegram
the cattle in the vicinity of Neosho
Falls were afflicted with the foot and
mouth disease, the information has been
the chief theme Of conversatio on.

We are informed by A. G.. Johnson
THAT the pilgrim" cattle brought into
the Judith country last summer by T.
C. Power & Bro. have come through the
winter in good order and with only the
slightest loss. A large number of them
fWere driven beyond Fort Maginnis,
where the snow was very light and other
conditions favorable. The younger and
weaker ones were kept in the vicinity
of Gov. Brooks ranch, and were fed hay
the "cold snap
C.E~Spencer,~who returned from the
east by way Of Billings, reports that the
fatality among pilgrim cattle on the
Musselshell was very great, amounting
almost to the annihilation of some Of
the herds. The snow in that section
was very deep, and for a time crusted,
making it pretty hard e for the "old-
timers or the range to pull through.

Wool Growers Meeting at Maiden.

The wool growers in the vicinity of
Maiden had a meeting in that town on
the 1st inst, and among other things
resolved to drive their sheep to the
mouth Of the Judith to shear, and from
that point they will ship their wool.
G. r. Norris, of Clagett, was present,
and agreed to have sheds erected, and
conveniences for the wool growers of
That section provided. This scheme will
do very we'll for those who want to ship
their wool, but if they want to sell, it
will pay them to come a good many
miles further to Fort Benton, where
there will be active competition not
only among wool buyers, but-when it
comes to purchasing supplies-among
our merchants.

A COUNT.

Asa rule there is little to commend in
the investments made by foreigners in
the cattle business of this country, but
unless the Count de Mores develops an
unexpected phase Of ''cussedness'' he
deserves the commentator Of Montan-
ians. If he would take out his papers,
and drop the title that naughty despots
Of the old world confer upon their lac
keys, he would, as an American, become
the peer of any cattle king in the land.
The dressed beef question will, in this
territory, receive a solution at his hands.
If successful land the enterprise is
bound to be-, it will give an impetus to
cattle raising here that will justify pres
ent in adding 20 per cent. to the
value of their herds.
At the abattoirs at Little Missouri,
The Dalles, Miles City and Billings it is
estimated that $4,000 beeves will be
slaughtered this year. Additional facil-
tiles are to be furnished by the company
which will in future absorb nearly all
the animal output o. this territory.
The plan of slaughtering adjacent to
the ranges, and shipping in refrigerator
cars, is good for the stockmen, the con-
sumers, and the animals themselves.
If the attention of De Mores is not
called to Fort Benton as a most advan-
tageous point for a branch Of his bust
ness, we mistake the enterprise of our
resident stockmen.

Who is Glassman ?

Editors River Press:
The Record of last Friday gives a no.
tice of 1.-THE only saddle factory in Fort
Benton worthy of a name.0 and to my
surprise it is not the establishment OF
Mr.. Glassman.
Now, / was always of the opinion that
Glassman was located at Fort Benton;
in fact the many saddles | have seen
branded 'Glassman, Fort Benton" LED
me to believe such to be the case.
On the Judith roundup four-fifths OF
the saddles are Mr.. Glassman's work;
on the Sun river. Chestnut and Smith
river ranges "Glassmann saddles out
number any others three to one; and
the cowboys of the Teton, Shonkln and
MusselsheIl are loud in their praises OF
the same saddle.
On my last trip from Helena | met
the Deep creek roundup and witnessed
several unsuccessful attempts to rope a
Wild steer. After several saddle horns
bad been broken off the captain said:
"Sonle one with a Glassman saddle
catch that s%teer!n
To my surprise the bovine was brought
10 the ground the first time.
4 Now who in the world is this Glass
man of Fort Benton? If he makes
Esuch saddles he is worthy of name"
and | have waited patiently to hear
from him. Can it be that the firm OF
Sullivan & Co are manufacturing this
famous saddle under the 0 de plume
of 'sGlassman, Fort Benton? ?" / would
like a little light on the subject.

THE wool growers of Utah and Idaho
had an enthusiastic meeting at Salt
Lake On the LIST inst. They passed Wig
orous resolutions against the reduction
of the tariff on wool, and appointed del
egates to the general meeting of wool
growers of the west, to be held at Denver
on the 18th inst. Montana, fast becom-
ing one of the principal wool growing
sections of the country, should by all
means have a delegate in that conven-
ton, but we are sorry to say that no
steps to that end have been taken, and
it is 10Y tool late to do anything, The
wool growers Of this territory should
join their voices with those of other sec
tons in protesting against the proposed
reduction inthe tariff on wool.

THE SHEEP INDUSTRY IN MON
TANA.

"A. A. G.,0 in the Boston Transcript,
has the following we'll timed words
about the wool industry il this terri
tory. He writes like one who has had
some experience on the range:
One of the excellencies of Montana
is the healthful influence of its climate,
under which the native sheep are free
from the diseases to which elsewhere
they are subject. The scab can always
be traced to sheep brought into the ter
ritory. 1t is readily e%radicated, and per-
m%anently if the range be not approach
ed by infected sheep.
Six pounds is the ordinary weight of
a grade fleece, the average price of which
during the past five years has been 25.5
cents per pound. The quality of wool
is being greatly improved by fine mer-
inc bucks from Vermont, which trans
NIT their merits without deterioration
or disposition to kemp, while their pro-
geny is invigorated by descent. Mon
the Highland hocks of Scotland, with
fieeces as soft and silky as n from Aus
tralia.
A band should grow from its own in
crease. The half-Wool, half-increase
system Is the best every way under a
well qualified herder, unless the owner
himself knows the business and takes
charge Of the band. Sheep husbandry
is an industry that is too often given
away. Its capacity for profit alIures to
speculation, and its reputation often suf-
fers from the reaction of needless fail
ures. Confined to judicious manage
ment, no investment is more certain Of
large uniform profit.
Montana has but few sheep, not ex-
ceeding 100000, or less than a tenth Of
what it will have in a few years. It's
superior adaptations to sheep and cattle
culture are becoming SO rapidly avail
able, that he who is earliest should be
the most fortunate in either speciality,
neither Of which IAN be affected by the
remote question of pr~oprietorship Of the
grazing grounds. There is and always
will be something to be learned Of sheep
husbandry in Montana, now being in
vestigafed by intelligent men there and
abroad, with the view OF conducting it
on d large scale, concerning which the.
writer is not at liberty To say more.
