A New Cattle Range.

The Yellowstone Journal has the fol-
lowing in reference to that large and
unoccupied section of country east of the
Musselshell and south of the Missouri
to the Yellowstone, recommending it as
a good stock range:
North of the Yellowstone, within the
limits of Custer county, presents a series
of unoccupied ranges that are pronounc-
ed fully equal to if not better than the
cattle ranges of the south side by COM
petent judges, who have just returned
from an exploring trip and nave viewed
the country from the Red river to the
Musselshell. They say that these north
side ranges have all the necessary requi-
sites for stock, such as wood, water, good
hay land, good shelter and excellent
grazing. There are some advantages IN
favor of the north side that are very i'm
portant. It's rapid creeks empty into
the Yellowstone. It is within the in
fluence of the chinook belt and its val
leys have a minimum of annual snow.
These are some of the facts that are iI1
ducing old as well as new settlers to Sc
lect ranges on the north side of the
river for incoming stock.

THE general feeling among sheep
men seems to be that they had better
ship their wool to eastern commission
houses. The chances are that the great
er part of the clips brought here will be
shipped by the owners. If the wool is
shipped to some responsible eastern
house there should be at least as much
realized from the clip as a purchaser at
Fort Benton could afford to pay. There
is a great diversity of opinion among
those who have shipped in previous
years as to whether it pays or not. One
of the largest sheep n on the Mus
selshell told us that he lost several thous-
and dollars last year by letting an east
ern commission house handle his wool
instead of selling it outright here in
Montana. On the other hand a promf-
nent wool grower of Sun river claims TO
have made ST., 200 by shipping his wool
last season.

Indians are not either fed or removed to
some place where they can kill enough
wild game to live on.

woolly coat, and no food but the scanty
heritage. eked out with fish. The change

those which survive it are likely to be-
come barren. A pony which was i'm
ported from the Isle Of Yell had been
reared SO exclusively on fish-the only
food the barren island a~fforded-that
after its arrival in this country it only
learned to Craze by initiating its new
companions. A quantity Of dried fish,
which was brought over with the pony,
was fed to it while it was becoming
gradually accustomed to vegetable food.
A little wholesome "roughing it, is far
better for them than pampering.
The market value of Shetland ponies
is in an inverse ratio with their size.
Nine hands (36 inchis) is the highest
allowable for a well-bred pony, and one
of only SO inches is salable at fully twice
as much. The foals when dropped
weigh from ten to twelve pounds, and
are much more shapely than the young
of full-sized horses. They are as playful
as kids and as tame and friendly as kit
tens. Like most ''fancy" stock, Shet-
land ponies can be bred with profit.

Shetland Ponies.

There is an increasing interest in these

be raised to its third year for one-half
the cost Of a steer the same age, while
the former finds a ready sale at 500 to

Good Prices for Cattle.

We learn that in the sale of cattle
recently made by John Lepley and A.
w. K%ingsbury to DR.. Bickford, the
following prices were paid Cows with
heifer calves by their side SO; heifer
yearlings $40. When we consider this
is not for extra stock but for average
range cattle, it will lbe readily seen
that prices are not on the wane in
Choteau county, but on the contrary,
are rapidly increasing.

WOOL GROWERS OF MONTANA.

We have been engaged in the wool commission
business in Chicago since 1861; have an extensive
east and west, and think our facilities for handling
and selling wool equal to those of any wool house in
the country.
We are making a speciality of Montana woods, hav-
ing found them superior both in grade and condition
to any western wool coming to our market.
Chicago is a cash market, which enables us to
make quick sales and prompt returns to our Gus
toners.
We will advance two-thirds of the market value on
wool consigned to us, at seven per cent. per annum.
Our charges are one cent per pound for selling,
which covers all expenses to the shipper, except
freight, carriage and interest.

chased the cattle herds Of William Raj

The reported prices are $4,000, $4,000
and $25 900 respectively, or $4,000 for
the thrTe herds. These bands, in con-
nectionf with another purchase Mr..
Craig has made, will give him about the
number he came to Montana to buy
1000 head.

THE Cortland Cattle company of the
Yellowstone have imported fifty head of
thoroughbred Polled Angus this spring.
All Of our wealthy stockmen, who have
made fortunes in the cattle business,
would find it to their interest to do like
wise. There is no question but what
fine stock can rustic" as well in Mon
tana and live and grow as fat on bunch
grass as the lank, long-legged Texan.
Experience has demonstrated this to be
a fact, and one good grade steer is worth
several dollars more than a native. Fine
cattle, horses and sheep will make Mon
tana a stockman's paradise.

We learn that the Sun river and Ie-
ton roundup are finding a big lot of
calves this year, and thus far are highly
pleased with the seasons work.
The Shonkin roundup found Oh their
range about twenty head of cattle be-
longing to the Teton and Sun river
country, the cattle having strayed
across on the ice during the winter.
A reasonably good lot of 1000 range
cattle has been sold by VIM. Courtney
of Miles City at $337 per head, showing
that northern Montana is not the only
place where cattle bring boom prices.
Our stockmen, however, hold their herds
at a higher figure.
Nat. McGiffin of Sand coulee has in
town the finest lot of colts that we have
seen in the west. They are all from
good, large American mares and his
stallion. BlackhaWk, a fine animal, be-
ing half Percheron and half Blackhawk
stock.
In a few days Mr.. r. P. Walker, of
the Montana Cattle company, will have
all of his cattle-between $4,000 and
10000 head-placed on the upper Marias
and Birch creek, which is to be here
after the range for the cattle of that
company. Most of them are driven
fromlthe-6un~fiver range.
We understand that John Lepley has
sold to Fish & Bickford TOO yearlings
and twenty COWS with calves. A. w.
K%ingsbury has sold to the same parties
twenty COWS and calves. The price is
said to be one that would astonish ven

We had already sailed past severa
glaciers larger than the Mer-de-Glace
of Mont Blanc, but they were so fan
away that we got no adequate idea Of
their extent. Nor did any of them push
their way into the sea. This glacier to
which our boat was now pointed, came
down into deep water and stretched
back into the mountains until its course
was lost in fields of snow. AS the steam
er checked her speed to keep at safe
distance from the monster, we found
that we had sailed up point-blank
against vertical wall of blue ice one
mile and half long, and 800 feet high
above the water. As if to illustrate the
grand scale and magnitude of every
thing, just as our boat rounded to, a
chip of ice, safely estimated to weigh
1000 tons, broke off from the face of
the glacier and fell distance of 100
feet into the sea. Of course, there fol-
lowed mighty uproar, and then a
wave that rocked our steamer as do
only the big swells from the Pacific. AS
the tide was ebbing, the mass that had
Just fallen into the water f1oated out
past the boat, forming a field of broken
ice several acres in extent.
The upper surface of the glacier was
full of deep assures, and at the water
level there were mysterious caves which
no one dared to explore. Pieces of ice,
large and small, were constantly drop
ing into the sea; and, as the ice-wall
acted as sounding-boa there were
constant volleys of sound as sharp as
that of musketry or artillery-demon-
strating to our satisfaction that the
butt-end of glacier, where icebergs
are made, is very noisy place.
Passengers were landed on shore,
and, after climbing along the side mo-
raine to height of some 500 feet, few
of us found ourselves at point where
we could overlook the stream of ice
and get an idea of its deep assures and
impossible condition. High as we were
and the water that were still above us,
and we could only see fraction of a
mile inland. Everything was on a scale
that could only be realized by the test
of climbing. Alongside the glacier, in
mid-channel, there were seventy-five
fathoms of water; and, as the steamer
approached shore to land us, the leads
man reported no bottom at twelve |
fathOmS.
Only last year did the boat make its
first trip to this glacier. Farther up the
bay four or five other glaciers come
down from the Fairweather group of
mountains, but very little is known
about them. We only caught an occa-
sional glimpse of the glaciers, and saw
that but n small part of the floating ice
in the bay came from the immense res
ervoior of ice that we had visited.

rdtrtohc Sentiments OF a Ierds Err Con/ed-
crate.
Col. G. S. Mitchell, president of the
Texas eX-confederate association, de-
nvered an address at the recent re-
union in Dallas, in the course of which
he said:
1--WE are not here to weep or lament
over our misfortunes or losses nor are
we here to quarrel with destiny; much
less are we here to raise party or sec
uonal feuds or animosities. The men
who had the nerve, the manly heroism
to encounter the dangers and endure
the hardships of four long years and
more of that fearful war are incapable
OF sentiments so out of harmony with
the noble aims for which they battled.
True beyond a shadow of doubt to
what we believed to be the call of duty,
when the patriotic summons was met
and its duties ended, we with equal
promptness and no less valor respond
ed to our obligations as members of
society and citizens of Il common coun-
try, and as evidence of the fidelity and
ability with which we have renewed
our citizenship under the most trying
ordeal, let the prosperity, the vigorous
growth, the giant manhood of our be-
loved southland answer. Her pure and
unsullled patriotism, as seen in state
and national counsels; her business
thrift, agricultural, mechanical and
commercial; her systems of education,
broad and thorough; her social order,
refinement and progress, and the tone
and purpose and will with which her
sons and daughters share in all these
developments of human effort, under
the circumstances, defy comparison,
and give promise of success and ear
ly grandeur unequaled in the history of |
any people. No more do we invite or
welcome the north to battle of blood |
or to that far baser strife of mutual |
and unkind and acrimonious |
abuse; but that higher field of contest
where peace hath her victories greater
far than war Henceforth be it our
motto to live and let live This
world was made for Caesar; twas made
for Brutus, too But Brutus need not
murder Cesar, nor Caesar trample upon
Brutus. We tender our countrymen a
service which shall be mutual, and in
vlte to a rivalry which shall restrain
The whole nation to its utmost capacity

When they found they were out of caps
and had freed the ''critter," Buck told
John if he would watch he would run

and, finding neither caps nor matches,
he got an old flint, ran back and telling
John to hold dead aim on the cat, he
struck his finder over the tube of the
gun, when bang! went the fuse and off
jumped the cat, whipped dog and ran
about fifty yards before it fell dead.
Only one shot struck it and that went
