We are indebted to pamphlet entitled
Range and ranch cattle business Of the
United States" by Joseph Ninmo, Jr.,
Chief Of the Bureau of Statistics, fol
munY Of the figures in this weeks issue.
The pamphlet covers great deal Of
ground, giving many interesting facts
relative to the cattle industry and deal.
Ing especially with the bearings Of the
cattle business upon the internal and
foreign commerce Of the United States
1t gives q complete historysof the range
cattle and dressed beef industries Of the
United States and is in the main correct.
The article on Dakota is however, not
only misleading but almost entirely
wrong. The facts(T were furnished by
a man who is personally entirely ignor-
ant of the cattle business. With this
and few other exceptions the pamphlet
is tho most valuable one on range cattle
ever published. lss5

Trouble has at last begun between the
trail men and the Kansas cattle men.
J. R. Blocker, Pugsley Bros, N. Bowling,
H. S. Holly, J. w.. Driskill, J. 7. Lytle,
NJ. C. Campbell and others have been
arrested by deputy o. s. Marshal Bell
and taken to Dodge City, Kansas. These
men have over 10000 head of cattle on
the trail, which are now stopped south
of the Canadian river. Their prelimi-
nary trial has probably already occurred.
1t is likely that every means will be used
to avoid the trial as, it being test case,
thousands and probably hundreds of
thousands Of dollars will be spent before
its decision. At any rate the arrests
show that the Kansans are thoroughly
in earnest about the enforcement of the
quarantine laws. The decision will
materially affect cattle interests, espec-
tally those of the south and will be
looked forward to with intense interest.

there are probably the same number in

tried and We have not vet heard Of any
failures in this direction. 5,if

In the course Of time, vast amount
of land in Dakota which now is unpro-
ductive, caa be made as valuable as any,
with artesian wells. Especially between
Medora and the Black Hills there is a
large extent Of country that is valueless
for agriculture and only moderately val
liable for stock, owing to the scarcity or
total lack Of water. There is plenty Of
land at present nearer the railroad and
better watered, but the time is coming
when this land will all be readily salable
and the ones who establish successful
artesian wells will reap rich profit.

The Pail Mall Ga -efte,. Of London, has
been exposing the vices Of the nobility
in such way that it is seriously arous-
ing public opinion. 1t has long been an
open secret in England that the common
people have no rights that the nobility
consider themselves bound to respect.
The Gazette is the first champion the
people have ever had that has done them
any good. \ It is doing a good work and
has the support of the large mass Of the
English people. Rev. spurgeon, as well
as many other ministers, are giving
enthusiastic sanction to the Gazette. =

by the growth of the Montana and Wy04
ming associations. Two years ago, ac-
cording to President Bryan, the Montana
association consisted Of seven members.
Now there are over a hundred and fifty
members. In 1873 the W yoming associ-
tlon consisted Of ten members, owning
about 10000 cattle, valued at $3.50 900.
In 1885 the Wyoming association has
435 members, owning 100000 head Of
cattle and valued at $1OO, ,0OO, 900.
The cattle business Of the west and
northwest differs somewhat from the
way it is conducted in the south. In;
Texas, the most Of the land is owned by
the cattlemen themselves. In the Indian
territory the land is for the most part
leased, but in Wyoming, Montana and
Dakota, the vast majority Of the cattle
are grazing on government land. In
these territories, this will doubtless be
the case for some time to come, as the
cattle country Is In the dry area and
agriculture cannot be carried on except
by irrigation. Il viii be sinany years
before the hnd met requiring irrigation
will be taken up and Che time Is espec-
tally far distant when 1t will pay to irri-
gate lands far from railroads in this
western country. The grass receives an
abundance Of moisture from the SHOWS
and spring rains; the dry weather comes
on early and cures the grass standing.
It is then equal to cut timothy, .5s;.{El
Z Only a few years ago the Indians held
almost undisputed control of what is
now the range cattle: country Of the west
and northwest. After the Custer massa-
ere the government adopted stringent
measures with reference to compelling
the Indians to stay on their reservations,
thus practically opening the country. to.
the stock interests. There is now no
farther danger in the cattle country.
from Indian outbreaks as the cowboys
could easily quell any disturbance.
The cattle business IS now as firmly
established and the profits can be as cas-
lily calculated as id other pursuits, the
results of which are not absolutely GER
tain. There is always a market for beef
and stock cattle. Prices vary little
but have steadily increased from the So
to 81 Texas steer Of twenty-five years
ago, to the $50 to $50 Montana steer Of
to-day. =:
The work is now reduced to system
and everyone is compelled to act hon
estly BY his neighbor. Ten years ago a
man might draw to q branding iron and
get a herd. Now he would as surel y get a
rope or states prison. From the thor
ough detective and inspection system Of
the stock associations, it is almost i'm
possible to act dishonesty. A mans cat

is treat your neighbor white and he'll
treat you n.li e." siy

Northwestern Stock Business.

& northwestern STOCK Business.
For the benefit of those of our readers
who have not a personal knowledge of
the history of stock raising in the north
west, short account may be- agreeable.
In 1854, OF rather early. in 1865 it was
learned that cattle would fatten in the
north better than in the, south. A gov
ernment trader was overtaken by hard
snow storm on the Laramie plains and
turned his oxen out, as he supposed to
die. Early in the spring. however, he
found them in even better condition
than when turned out. This, taken in
connection with the fact that buffalo
lived and grew exceedingly fat in Dak-
ota, Montana and Wyoming, first drew
the attention Of cattlemen to the north
west as beef coutry. -
Capitalists soon took advantage of the
opportunities offered and began driving
cattle from the southern ranges to grow
into beef. This has been kept up to the
present time and it is fair to presume
that within five years the northern
ranges will be as full as is safe, taking
into consideration the natural increase
Of the herds. .53s95 .535s5a4 ss i
The range territory includes the prin.
cipal part Of the Indian territory, the
western parts Of Kansas, Nebraska and
Dakota, nearly all of Montana, Idaho
Wyoming, Utah. Arizona, New Mexico
Colorado. Nevada and portions: Of Cali.
fornia, Oregon and Washington. This
area includes over 1,1so, 900 square miles

THE NEW ELECTION LAW passed by the
Legislature at its recent session went into
effect Friday last. The local Boards upon
whom are imposed the duty of choosing
the new election officers, organized pre-
paratory to performing that work. Under
the new law the Democrats are given plac-
tical control of the election machinery in
the State. 1t is made a condition, how
ever, that, when it can be done, both polit-
ieal parties shall have representation
among the judges of election and regis
.trars. The Republicans will at once make
up a case to test before the court the
validity of the new law. One of the points
relied upon by them to obtain favorable
decision is that the joint resolution under
which the members of the electoral boards
were chosen by the legislature did not re-
ceive the approval of the executive. An
other point is that the new law requires
that judges of election and registrars shall
be able to read and write. The Republi-
cans hold that this requirement is in con-
fict with the constitution of the State.
The officers chosen under the new law, if
it stands the test of the courts, will con-
duct the election this fall at which Gov
ernor and members of the Legislature will
DE elected, the latter of whom will choose
the successor of Gen. Malone in the United
States Senate. Should the decision of the
Court be favorable to the Republicans, the
Democrats will in all probability call an
other session of the legislature this spring to
perfect their partizan scheme.

legations;

gramme was charming. The instrument
tai music was exceptionally fine.
The entertainment opened with the wild
sweet strains of Boideau's die Weisse
Dame. rendered by Mrs. GetZendanneI
and Professor Webb.
A handsome upright Weber piano from
Messrs. Saunders Il Layman and kindly
lent nv those gentlemen for the occasion. re-
ceived the highest commentator from
