GUARDING THE STOCK INTERESTS.
Effective Work OF the stock Association
and Board OF stock Commissioners.

Effective Work of the stock Association
and Board OF Stock Commissioners.
The work of the Stock Association
is assuming the vast proportions that
is naturally consequent upon such an
extensive organization. Their agents
are now at work in all parts OF the ter
ritory, and are doing much to protect
the interests of Montana stock owners.
The work of the last legislature is
now bearing the fruit of its wise pro-
visions in this regard. Since the APP
pointment of the Board of Stock Com.
missioners by the Governor, agreeably
TO the provisions of the law passed at
the last session, the board has lost
no time in organizing system OF
stock inspection throughout the coun-
ties of Dawson, Custer, Yellowstone,
Meagher, Chot eau, and Lewis and
Clarke, the six designated by the law
from which the board were appoint
ed. The inspectors and stock detec-
tives commenced their work about the
first Of May, since which time great
amount Of good has been done by
them. The inspector at Horse Plains,
whose duty il is to inspect stock CON-
inG into the territory from the
, West, has examined 23,55G head
Of cattle and l,272 head of horses
between the 9TH of May and the
lstofJuly. The most fthese came from
Oregon and Washington Territory,
and were examined by the inspector
and pronounced in good health before
they were allowed to pass into the ter
ritory. The inspector at the other
end Of the territory has examined and
passed s,32S head OF cattle and 90
horses within the same period. Some
cattle were detained here and placed
In quarantine in accordance with the
proclamation Of the governor, because
they came from the districts infected
with pleuro pneumonia.
Another duty of the stock inspector,
which shows the admirable effect of
system, is TO examine the brands on
all cattle passed by him. If among a
