Ths Canadian Pacific Route.

Should the prlyy council Of England
conclude to let our cattle in through
Canadian ports with .'privileges," it
would be a good idea for a number of
cur ranchmen to make a pool and send
along cattle enough to load, say an or
binary train, with good steers. BY this
means the advantages of the proposed
route could be determined without spe-
cial risks to any individual shipper
Northwestern Live stock Journal.
The advantages OF this route to the
stockmen of northern Montana are APP
parent enough, and the great majority
of beeves from this section will be ship
ped that way. The experiment has al
ready been tried by the shipment of two
or three train loads Of young cattle from
the western states to Maple creek, a
point directly north of Fort Benton, and
with the very best of success.

The Helena stockmen's Convention.

We reprint the following from the
Northwestern Live Stock journal Win
hearty endorsement. Fort Benton,
which is the stock center of the terri
tory-in the three branches. cattle, sheep
and h~orses-should be well represented
by delegates from the different assocla-
tons of which this city is the head
quarters:
On the 28th day of July there will be
held in Helena, Mont, a cattlemen1s
convention, to include representative
stockmen from all parts Of Montana.
The call is made on a broad and liberal
basis. SO as to include all classes OF stock
raisers. The growing Of stock Will ever
be a leading business in that growing
territory, and the only road to prosperity
leads through complete organization.
The advantages of association are SO
manifold and ~self-evident that 1t seems
unnecessary to repeat them In our COL
umns. In union there is strength. Pool
your issues and work in harmony to the
music OF the greatest good to those en-
gagged in the business. By a complete
Organization of all the forces the maxi
mum Of work can be done at the mimi
mum of expense. Personal differences
are merged into community affairs, TO
be treated by the association and strip
ped of their tendency to family feuds.
Association brings out a thorough un-
Outstanding of mutual interests, and
cements more closely the business rela-
tons. With the wide extent of country
covered and the rapidly increasing num-
bers Of cattle in Montana you can no
longer afford to be without the fullest
protection that association will bring.
Then let every sIockman in the territory
be at the convention on the 18th OF July
and give force to the u~tterances OF the
meeting. II you have stock interests
you cannot afford to be absent. Turn
out, all of YOU.

A Bozeman special TO the Pioneer Press

which, if true, is not very creditable to
the Northern Pacific management
The Northern Pacific has just dis
charged all the white laborers on section
and gravel train work west of Livings-
ton, and has filled their places with
Cinnamon brought from the Pacific
slope. Great indignation is expressed
by the white workmen in being thus
%summarily dismissed, and the public in
measures of retrenchment. About 200
of the employees went east to Livingston
this morning, where they will be paid
off. They are wild with rage and disap-
pointment, and trouble is anticipated if
they are not furnished with free trans
pOrtation to st. Paul.

Drawing to a Close.

WASHINGTON. July Sit seems to be
reliably certain that congress will close
its present session by noon on Monday
next, the last appropriation bills having
been passed by the Senate to-day. All
the absolutely necessary work of con-
gress remaining unfinished is now in
the hands of the conference committee.
It is thought by the leading members of
the house that it will be possible to close
up this unfinished business by Saturday
evening, and if this is done the pro-
gramme will be to take a recess till
Monday noon, that interval being suf1i-
cient to. allow the enrolling of the APP
preparation bills, and then to meet only
for the purpose Of signing these bills.

A Light Wool Clip.

From information furnished by the
sheep men who market their wool at
Fort Benton, taken in connection with
the remarks of the territorial exchanges,
we should judge that the feeces will not
average as heavy this year as formerly.
The Helena Independent claims that
the copious rains this spring have wash
ed the wool cleaner than usual, thus
making it lighter. OF all the practical
sheep men we have talked with none
have advanced this as a reason for the
shrinkage in weight, but they all charge
it to the unpropitious weather and early
shearing. Some say we had a bad fall
last year and thattheir sheep went into
winter quarters in worse shape than
usual, which, of course, would affect
the coming wool crop unfavorably.
Others again say they had a severe win
ter, which would have the same bad
effect. Shearing was done earlier than
usual around Fort Benton this year, as
all were afraid of missing the boats,
which would necessitate the extra ex-
pense of land transportation to the
Northern Pacific or to some point lower
down the river. Two weeks Of The
warm June weather makes a vast differ
ence, not SO much in the length Of the
wool as IN its weight, as the hot Feather
brings out the grease, which saturates
the fleece, making a vast difference in
its weight. One Of our informants
thought that the wool would be worth
more per pound for its being less greasy,
and in this way would compensate for
the loss in weight.

brown, eight years old, bald face, two

taken up towards the head of Rock

from thence driven off to be disposed of.

cutting down the appropriations. If it
was reasonable economy their action
would be commendable, but such is not
the case. The government will not be

bills must be passed to make up for the

to make some cheap political capital

George and John Patterson, on the
Shonkin, are shearing some 10, 500 sheep
at their sheds and expect to have over

old grade merino wether shearing sew
enteen pounds and one of their import

owners can do so we would like to hear
