OF the Great Falls 1oHnsitc company,

crew. The stage of water is fair, but not
high, and the voyagers may expect II

gained last year shows that the best time
TO make this trip is when the water is

safer, and there Is the most exciting

The Views Of an Experienced Horse
Trainer.

Last week we had the pleasure Of an
interview with Mr.. A. Cocllranc, II gentle.
man who, for the past fourteen years, has
devoted his time to the training and driv.
Ing of trottiny stock. lie has just return.
ell from three months visit to friends In
Kentucky, Illinois and other points, hav.
ing spent most Of the time among the
trackmcn and breeders. In reply TO our
query MS to what eastern breeders think
of Montana us II horse. breeding country.
he said "They urc generally favorahly
impressed. A number Of them expressed
the belief that II their colts cou'd he sen,
here ut wcaniny time, md raised, handled.
to the age Of four years, they would bc
much improved" Mr. Cochrane fully
agreed In this. lie says there is no qucs.
tion but that our Montana.raiscd horses
have better staying qualities than those
raised In lower attitudes. Ills experience
in handling Montana horses the past three
years satisfied him Of the superiority Oi
M,ntana.raiscd stuck, land jogging some
horses on tr cts east last fall and winter
was amply convincing Of the correctness
Of the impression"
In reply to the question as 70 how on,
best horse ranches compare with h sc ol
the east, he said: "There Is M c0mpari
SIN. l saw nowhere In my ramblcs bc'
tor stock than are seen ut Riverside, Bel
mont Park, Meadow Brook, Diamond
Springs, and some others Of our leading
breeding establishments. Montlna ha.
soil, grass, water, etc, that is superior t.
lower :ltitudcs for the production oI
sound, healthy horses, and there is ne
reason why these breeders, with the star
they have, should not grow immenscl,
rich in Il sho,, time"
Among the establishments visited |,
Illinois was NJ. w. Dnnham's and Dillor
Eros. With reference to the importation
from these farm, b. Mr. n ,ul.lin, OF Bea'
crhead county, he says the horses ar
beauties and just the thing for farmer
who wish to raise draft stock.
