From a Galveston, Texas, press report,
we learn that Thousands of beef cattle
are being brought to Galveston by rail.
to be started on the trail. There are
thousands of cattle and thousand head
of horses leaving every day, the cattle
for Dakota and the horses for Kansas.
Water and grass are exceedingly scarce
in western Texas, owing to the drought
and cattle that passed good winter, are
going to market in very poor condition.
The trail is now virtually open and fully
$4,000 head of cattle are going north
ward. Heretofore, most of the cattle
from the ranches, struck the trail in the
southern or western part of the state.
This year, the long drought in the Pecos
valley, has forced cattlemen to send
their herds as far as possible by rail, be-
fore starting them on the trail. This
had never been attempted before, as cat
tlenlen thought it would cost too much.
The reverse has been the case. Instead
Of the customary lossesof cattle on the
trail before they get out Of the state,
| there is none at all. Leading cattlemen
here, looking after the interests of their
herds, express the opinion that there
will be no national trail in a few years,
as railroad transportation from Texas to
DaKol Montana and Colorado will be
found cheaper" X; q Z

The project Of the Adjustment Of a
fattery here by the Ref. Car Co., is now
approaching realization. Every one Of
the sixteen members of the committee
from the Montana association, agreed
individually. to put in cattle Of their
own and as a body, agreed toreport the
matter fayorably to the Association.
The details5of The plan here have not
been fully worked out, but in the rough,
are as follows: The plant will consist Of
a barn, capable Of holding 2, 500 cattle or
upwards, besides outside ranches, for
holding the cattle. q large farm for raiss
ing q root crop, etc. Between septem-
;ber and December, ls, 600 cattle will be
delivered here for fattening. Fifteen OF
sixteen thousand Of these will be dis
tributed to the different ranches, to be
held ready for the fattening process;
From two,to three thousand will be fat
tening all the time. Over $50 acres Of
land on the river bottom will be- cultiya-
ted for root crop, which will be fed not
only to- keep the cattle In condition, bnt

cumstanccs last winter; such as being
fed in nearly open shed, exceptionally
cold weather and several mistakes in
feeding, made by new men, three steers
were fed twelve quarts of the brewers
grain and five pounds each Of hay per
dayiand averaged gain of three pounds
each per day between January and
MarchB. The last week of the expert
ment, when the weather had moderated,
the cattle gained five pounds a : day.
From careful estimates, it is found that
brewers grain can be put on the market
for about half a cent pound. It will,
if the supply Of grain; holds out, reyolu-
tionize the feeding system of the United
States. Prof. Mott of New York, after
careful test, pronounces the new food
to be practically and scientifically cor
rect and highly recommends Its use.
There seems now no reason to doubt that
the ffattery here willfbe a great and con
stantly increasing success. The North
ern, Pacific railroad is joining actively
with the Marquis in the fattery enter
prise and gives rates on the brewers
grain which are merely nominal.

The average Importation of horses
from Canada into the United States for
some years past has been about $4,000
head. A few years ago, the average Yal-
ne Of horses SO imported, per head, was
s955; Whereas last year, it was $140:
This shows not only rapid improve
ment in the quality of the supply, but
the fact that the demand requires just
as many; is evidence that it is at least
just as easy; and in many cases far cas-:
ier; to find purchasers for the better
class of animals. The difference to Cam
ada, represented in these values, is over
100000 annually.-[Hoof and Horn.

EAU CLAIRE. Sept. S.--A majority of
the directors of the Dells Improvement
company have held an unofficial conference
with committee (appointed by work
ingman's meeting at MarstOn halD on the
subject of the operation OF the Dells COM
pany's works above the city. The commit
tee put to the directors a series of ques-
tons, embOdying a review of the cOmpallys
operations hitherto anu its purposes for the
future. There has always been more or
less complaint about the failure OF the COM
pany to assert logs impaTtially and eff
ciently for all mills. The shortcomings of
the company in this respect are said to be
due to its legal inability to jam the river
for the purpose of asserting logs, and the
object OF the present agitation OF the sub
iect is to get legislation which Will author
lie the company to hold and assert logs for
all mills. 1t is claimed by some members
OF the company and all of the committee
that the sorting works ought to De placed

that a majority of the directors, contrary to

outcome OF tie conference will be of the

DAKOTA DOINGS.
News Notes of Interest to the People
of the Territory,

Col. Plummer has returned from his cam
paign with Mr.. Blaine, in Maine, so disguised
in garb and with such a statesmanlike mien
that few knew him. He talked prohibition
down there even stronger than Blaine, and
reports that special fervor in that direction is
largely inspired by black bottles. The colonel,
however, thinks the Repu blicans are likely to
fall into the ruinous blunder of using that
campaign material in the wrong localities.
He fears that Mr.. Blaine's private nips will
not relieve him in the country at large from
his prohibition talk in Maine, designed for
home consumption only, and to prevent Re
publicans from being led away by the Neal
Dow and st. John people-as it is absolutely
necessary that Maine shall stand by the party
and Blaine.
The farmers of Eddy county have formed
Joint stock company to hire man to do their
grading and shipping of wheat, paying him

elevators. A large farmer at Fargo the past
week shipped his own grain aud SAYS he
netted 66A cents in place Of the So cents
offered by the local buyers:

GLENDALE. OAK. Sept. S.-Sherif
Srune and three deputies left Glendale
Monday morning to seize the personal prop
erty of one Mary J. HiIlock. living in the
southeastern part of Dlckey county. When
they arrived upon the premises they were
met by two SONS of Mrs. Hillock, who were
armed with Winchester rifles and fully de-
termned to shoot down any one who should
attempt 10 sieze their property. After some
fighting the eldest son was arrested, brought
to town and lodged in the county Jail. The
other son, his mother and sister betOOk
themselves to the granary to prevent the
sheriff Selling the grain stored therein.
The three are now safely intrenched within
the building behind their guns, defying the
officers to dislOdge them or take the prop
erty. This family has on prior occasions
frightened away officers of the law while at
tempting to seize their property under an
execution. Last spring the deputy sheriff
of this county was held up by them before
the muzzle of a shotgun when he attempted
to Feplevin farm machinery. Some shoot
ing is being done. Reports are meagre to-
night
