In considering the beef market as a
basis from which to figure on the future,
do not forget that many thousands of
cattle, especially from Texas and the
Cherokee strip, have been thrown upon
the market this year that were not fit
for market and would never have been
sold for beef but for circumstances we'll
known and over which the owners had
no control. While this heavy run of in

Nothing definite has been learned con-
corning the organization of the county.
No steps have been taken in Bismarck to
carry out the plan of organization on ac-
count of the protest offered by F. B. Al
len: It seems scarcely credible that the
wishes of 174 citizens can be so long
thwarted, but the end must soon come.
The governor is perfectly right in taking
time to consider the matter and he can
not but become satisfied soon that the
people Of Billings county want the
county organized. Only two refusals Of
voters to sign and 174 legal signatures
is an overwhelming majority that is
rarely duplicated. The foundation prin-
ciple of our Democratic form Of govern
ment will be overtlrown, if this or any
other majority is not allowed to rule.
