The Pleuro-Pneumonia Bill.

WASHINGTON, February Cit is de-
clared that the Hatch pleuro-pneumonla
bill, which has been reported upon fay-
orably by the committee on agriculture,
will meet heavy opposition and be OPP
posed by the entire Texas delegation ex-
cept Ochiltree. The argument used IS
that the bill is too sweeping and places
too much power in the hands of the bu-
reau, which can be used to favor indl-
viduals and block trade.
In a speech yesterday Mr.. Bedford said
he had been informed that the bill was
the result of the combined genius OF the
cattle kings of the west, and that it is to
d, stroy the men who owned thorough
breds. If that was the object the house
should have courage enough to thor
oughly investigate the question before
passing the measure.

Shipping Wool.

Fort Benton has been, since the in.ro-
duction of sheep into Montana, the
principal wool shipping point, a posi-
it promises to hold for many years to
come. The wool grower will go long
distances to reach the best market, and
that will always be the point where the
lowest rates of transportation to the
eastern seabord can be secured. Situated
in the heart of the wool producing
region, and with the mighty Missouri
flowing by her doors, Fort Benton holds
the key to the situation, and is certain
to be-With or without railroads-the
great wool market of the territory.
But to maintain this position during
the present season, with the Northern
Pacific as an active competitor for the
carrying business, some concessions on
the part of the steamboat men will be
necessary. They must make a low rate
on wool and thus render it an object for
growers to deliver their clips at this
point, for shipment by river. If this is
done it is safe to estimate that not less
than 1000, 900 pounds of that article will
be shipped from Fort Benton the present
season, as against little more than half
that amount last year. The increase in
the amount Of wool that a low rate
would attract to the river would amply
compensate the boat owners for a liberal
reduction in the transportation tariff.
We refer to the matter this early in the
season for the reason that the time is
near at hand when there will be a meet
ing of steamboat men and rates for the
season will be established. A liberal
policy on their part, as far as the trans
p~ortation of wool is concerned, would
almost double their cargoes of that pro-
duct, and we trust they will not over
look the important fact. The rate should
be fixed early, before %shearing, so thai
the wool growers may know what treat
meEt to expect if they come to Fort
Benton with their clips. Last year the
Northern Pacific did all in its power
to break down the river business,
and WI hope that this year the steam
boat men will not be lacking in the
spirit that builds up trade and increases
Of traffic. Last year the railroad rate to
Boston was $500 to those who were
compelled (by location) to ship by rail,
while growers on this side of the Bird
tail divide were given $3.50 rates-sim-
company that will discriminate in this
way does not merit the favor or consid-
GRAFTON Of sheep men, and the injustice
of it ought to prompt them to stand by
the river at all hazards. The rate from
Fort Benton to Boston last season was
$500 all around, and it ought to be
much less for 1884. It will pay the
owners Of steamboat lines, in more ways
than one, to put down rates on wool to
the lowest possible notch.

t a craze for anything new. The many
fancy varieties will have their day in
turn. Some of them, like the Herefords
and polled cattle, will leave their inn
press upon the herds Of the country, but
after all have undergone the test of ex-
p~erience, public opinion will revert to
the grand old breed whose general pur-
pose qualities, whether in the bull train,
in the dairy, or on the butchers block,
are undeniable proofs of superiority.
When crossed upon our common stock
the offspring acquires the rustling cap
acity of the natives, along with the size
and beautiful contour that is transmit
ted by the wonderful prepotency of the
shorthorns.
The river press. [volume] (Fort Benton, Mont.) 1880-current, 1884-02-13
THE

During the year 1883 there were 3,28a
shorthorn cattle sold at public sales in
the United States, at an average OF
S2O5.56 per head. The private sales, if
known, would greatly augment the
aggregate number as well as the average
price.
The number of fine cattle being dis
tributed throughout the west for the
purposes Of grading up the common
stock is increasing annually. The ne
cessity for such a step has not been felt
in this part of the country until within
the past two years. Heretofore the an
nual output of beeves did not exceed the
demand for home consumption and In
dian contracts, and q beef was a beef,
whether a tall, slab-sided mongrel, or a
solid, chunky grade shorthorn.
Now that we have a surplus which
must be marketed at the east, where
everything goes by weight and quality,
our herdsmen are beginning to realize
that after a small outlay for thorough
bred bulls, it costs no more to raise a
grade animal that will sell at So to 81
than it does to raise a nondescript that
will bring only about 81 per hundred
weight.
While the range cattle OF this portion
of Montana are vastly superior to those
that are found in other parts Of the west
because descended from cattle origin
ally brought from the states, that super
iorlty can only be maintained by the
constant infusion of new nure blood.
The thoroughbred shorthorns brought
into this region several years ago by
Miner & Boardman, as also by Daven-
port, Ray & Co, and later by other par
ties are all doing we'll and multiplying
rapidly, although after the first winter
they received but little more attention
than is given to range stock. These are
not the only instances we could cite to
prove their ~adaptability to this western
climate.
The deep interest eyinced IN fine cat
lie by eastern breeders amounts almost

A Big Cattle Sale.

The Independent Of the 9th inst. re-
ports the following important cattle
sale:
Harrison Jordan recently sold to the
highest bidder the cattle belonging to
the estate of Martha Rosentehl. They
Wsre purchased by I. g. Power & Bro.
for S25, O26, being the highest of nine
bids, the second highest being $25, 900.
The cattle were a mixed lot ranging on
the judith, and were estimated at about
700 head-Which would make the price
paid about S35 per head.

EASTERN CATTLE IN MONTANA.

The mild weather of the present WIN
ter in Montana is SO favorable to the
young cattle brought from the east last
summe to mature upon our unsur-
passed grasses, that the experiment is
likely to be repeated on a much larger
scale the present year. While W. would
not deprecate anything that will add to
the territorial wealth, we apprehend
that importers of stock will grow over
sanguine from their first winters ex-
Derience, and conduct the venture on a
scale that they may have cause to re-
Dent.
The cattle business, upon a good range
and with acclimated stock, is the most
remunerative form of investment at the
present time, but turning bands of pill
grim cattle adrift to take chances under
different conditions than they have eve
known is as hazardous as Wall street
speculation.
The native stock that now roam over
our hills and valleys in countless thou
sands are mostly descended from domes-
tic animals that were brought here at
an early day, and that were cared for
as such. Injured by generations Of de-
scent to the peculiarities of this climate,
their offspring have acquired thick
skins, shaggy hides, and an instinct
that enables them, like the buffalo, to
pass through severest ordeals with in
considerable loss. Occasionally, how
ever, upon an o~vercroWded range, dur
ing a winter of uncommon severity the
mortality has been as high as IS or 20
per cent. Such a season in its effects
upon the young states cattle that are but
Weaklings compared to the old-timers
of the range, would prove most disas-
trous, and would in many cases ami
hilate the herds. We know Of a band
brought from the east last summer that,
true to their barnyard instincts, have to
be herded away from the premises Of the
settlers around, although the cured
grasses stand uncovered and in inviting
~profusion. About one-fourth Of the
number are in such poor condition that
they nave to be fed, and if hay gives out
many of them will have to succumb.
We would advise persons intending
to adopt the system to bring in no more
states cattle any one summer than they
can provide hay for the ensuing winter.
After the first year they become more
hardy, and can better rustle along with
the native stock.

CATTLE IN THE BRITISH NORTH
WEST

Whatever weather the remainder of
the winter shall bring, we may expect
10 zeal doleful reports about the cattle
business across the line. The whole of
the British northwest is not adapted to
the range stock business as conducted
in Montana, but a large scope Of country
with Macleod near the centre is blessed
with almost as favorable conditions.
Last year one company lost S Q heavily
that prospective investors were deferred
from entering the field. The reason for
that loss was very apparent to the old
timers, and instead OF proving a dis
engagement should be viewed as so
much paid for experience that will lead
to good results.
The agent OF the company selected
in the summer time a site where the
grass stood invitingly thick, breast high
which is the indication Of a heavy
deposit of snow. A band of fine cattle
was driven in late, worn with the drive,
herded within bounds, and the deep
snow becoming crusted about half the
band persisted.
Theoretically, our English neighbors
are able stockmen-to judge OF a fine
animal and to rear them by the barn
yard method-but ii they would make
ranching profitable they must conform
more to the system practiced in this
territory. The attempt to hold cattle
upon the lands of the Wne during the
winter will in every case prove disas-
trous. The less that cattle are herded
the better they will pass through the
winter, because the instinct OF the stock
that is bred upon the plains directs them
infallibly to the best places for shelter
and food. @

Cattle Boom.

The cattle business for the present
year will see a boom it has never known
before, the expressed doubts Of the weak
kneed and pessinists to the contrary
notwithstanding, and the bright shekels
will be gathered in by stockmen at a
ate before unknown. All the straws
and all the saW-logs up to the present
time point Enthusiastically that way. The
mild winter throughout the southwest,
coupled with the favorable reports from
market centres and the new ranges be-
ing opened up, have had the effect or
raising the prices of range cattle a de-
gree and giving them a stiffness to at
least hold to the raise, and the season
o almost here will see we'll establish
ed range property hard to get hold of at
prices enhanced from those of last year.
Owing to the unfavorable conditions for
%fattening on the range the past year, a
less percentage than ordinary was ship
ped, and immense gains will be made
by the steers in the added year, and the
beef output promises to be greater than
for several years, which is met by a
healthy and constantly increasing de-
mand on the part of the consumers. The
most favorable conditions obtained all
I'VE the range countries after it was
generally considered unsafe to ship
owing to the advanced season; and
these conditions continued without a
break up to the present month. and in
the Panhandle and ranges south are
experiencing no serious reverses even
yet. With a reasonably favorable spring
returns will be coming to the ranges
early in the season, and will he heavy.
At no time in the history of the business
has the outlook for stockmen ever been
so golden as now over the range coun-
try as a whole.-Texas Panhandle.
