RAPID GROWTH.

It is only a year since the stocking OF the
North Yellowstone range in Montana be-
gan to be noticeable, and now the water
rights and range locations have been
claimed to such an extent that new corners
find It difficult to secure desirable locations
for their herds. With the dry season and
grass -hoppers feed is also rather short, so
that the prospects for wintering stock with
but light loss are not so favorable in the
Northern district nor in fact on our South
ern ranges as they were a year ago. South
Of the Yellowstone in this Custer county
there are fully 100000 head OF cattle and
a large number of horses and sheep. The
Great Continental Land and Cattle Com
pany are the largest holders ofcattle within
the limits OF the county and will probably
add 10000 head OF trail cattle OF their
herds in the Northwest this season.
Hon. j. M. Halt has just received 1000
head, and l understand that about $4,000
more are moving Northwar$ for various
Montana outfits. They, however may NJ
all reach their destination this season.

Harry Montague gives a very entertain
ing programme at the Comique.
William Eunice has been engaged for Nick
Roberts company for the coming season.
Ramanza and Arno, the funny wonders,
arrived from England on the "Etruria."
This ship, by the way, beat the best record.
McDaniels opened his new tteater last
evening, with local talent. He is looking
for members of his regular company dur
ing the coming week.
The Catletts and Nellie Dale, fancy char
acter dancer, have made a decided hit at
the Arion. The old favorites retain their
hold on the audience. The performance
this week closes with one OF Den Howe's in
imitable after pieces.
The great California song and dance
team, Messrs. Wilson & Cameron, have
made a great hit at the Comique. They
are grotesque comedians Of the highest
order. They were enthusiastically received
during the week, but On Saturday night
fairly outdid themselves. On that occasion
they did their act, responded to ak
and were compelled to come before the cur
tain. They are the finest song n dance
team that has ever visited B~utte-which
has had the best OF them-and their act is
something marvellous. 1t is alone worth
more than the admission price.

Referring to the merits Of another

a Medical Journal says: We admire
the stand taken by numerous eminent
physicians and members OF the Board
of Health of such cities as Brooklyn,
Philadelphia and Baltimore, in publicly
endorsing and adopting Red Star
Cough Cure because it Is eficacious,
free from dangerous ingredients and
without morphia or opium. Another
feature which commends it is its popu-
lar price, = twenty-five cents, thus
placing within the reach of oil q sure
cure for throat and lung diseases.

Ee treats refuse, to disinfect and deo-

An old Indian, who had had large

from thirty to forty pounds of meat,

The animal gets his full growth lnfrom
two and a half to three years. so that
the beaver raiser would from each AMI

owner Of 1000 head would have an
assured income of say $4,000 annually,

By the way. would a lot of beavers be q
herd, or a drove, or a flock, or a shoal,
or a school? Perhaps colony would be
the best word. And what would be tbs

The beaver farmer has only TO turn his
