The Stock men of the Yellowstone
range have given notice that the range
snow full, aud that in the future they
will not allow any newcomers The
privileges of the round up. According
to the same paper the sworn statcmen
of cattle belonging to the roundup las
year was $4,000. Yellowston county
includes 100000 acres of land, o.
which not more than $4,000 is goo(
agricultural land; the balance is al
grazing land, none OF it being inaccessi
bic or mountainous. The Yellowstone
range, therefore covers about 80,
acres Of grass, which for 24,000 cattle
would give each animal over li0 acre

the ranges are already heavily stocked
and the new adventures in the business
coming in with states cattle arc no
generally welcomed, Should the cat
lie raisers carry out their plan of no
allll liatiug with any of the new conner
in the round.ups, aud refuse to gran
them the privilege Of the use of tho
corrals, the business of bringing states
cattle on the ranges now occupied
must eertain,y prove Improbable. Th
present occupant of this country hay
endured many hardships in contend
ing against Indians and thieves, and i
is very natural that they should turl
the "cold shoulder to those bringin;
new cattle among them, when they ar
already crowded. Those. of course
who buy cattle already on the rang
will be welcomed, as the purchase W ii
give them q range right. New adveu
turers in the stock business should con
slider this matter carefully. Our cattl,
raiscrs have invested good man,
thousand dollars in the erection of cor
rails, etc, and could not be expected 4
yield the privilege thereof to the ncv
