very far removed from the office Of
the Stockgrowers Journal ''that the besr
crops in the world could he raised in

to the stockgrowers interest that the
very reverse should be represented to
be the case" The tendency of the
journal to omisrerrcsent :i,c agricultural
capabilities of Montana, has been re-
marked upon and condemned by the
press generally. That its position
ON that question il a mistake, is fully
recognized by the public generally, and
more particularly by intelligent. repre-
sentative stockgrowers. such men as
Granville Stuart have stated through the
press. that stockgrowers have nothing
to fear from the farmers. and there Is
no fear that their interests will clash.

more thoroughly the resources and ca
pabilities of Montana are advertised,
the better for every one concerned in

fYellowstone Journal.

Grave fears are entertained by the
majority Of the stock men recently
from off the ranges that the cattle IN
iere-t of this section of the territory
is in danger Of almost universal ex-
tinctlon. In numerous interviews
with those most prominently con
nected with the range interests and
undoubtedly conversant with the state
Of affairs in all its nakednoss. but one
sentiment is expressed, that Of the ter
rible condition of the range and the
inadequate supply Of grass for winter
feed. The cattle having cleaned up
all the grass on the bottom lands and
valleys, usually sufficient to run them
through until fall, are now drifting out
upon the high lands and hill. making
sad havoc of the only subsi, stance upon
which they can depend throughout the
winter months when the low Lands are
covered with snow. The winter range
must be saved at any cost, and reason-
ing thus. the stock men have concluded
to ship beef cattle To the eastern mar
kets in excessive quantities. regardless
Of prices that may be received, and
thus rid the ranges of the present
Superabundance of stock which Is eat
ing down the winter range.

NEW Bail BILL.

Representative West is evidently fish
for those "otber reasons" which the
Governor said had occurred to him as
causes for vetoing the bail bill. 1t will
be remembered that His Excellency OBJ
jected to the bill b, cause it would re
ease upon the community, for he time
between the conviction and the deter
mination of the case on appeal, the man
gully of rape or murder in The second
degree. Mr.. West has met this virtuous
objection on the part of the Governor
by presenting new bill, excepting from
the right to bail pending appeal per-
sons convicted of rape and murder in
the second degree, and those convicted
of any other crime the punishment for
which exceeds FIVE years imprisonment.
We doubt that Mr.. West or anybody
else excerpts the Governor to approve
the bill, hence the suggestion that the
Representative is digging for His Ex-
cellency's "other reasons" We admire |
Mr.. Vests industry and commend his
inquiring turn of mind; the public also
will approve his course, for communities
are ever anxious to learn an official
reasons for doing or refusing to do
thing. The public is always curious re-
gardIng its officers, and in this instance
is anxiously so, for the reason that
with all its sagacity and keenness it has
been unable to hit upon anything that
could be distorted into what would be
&C epted as bearing The slightest re-
to those "other reasons with
which the Governor is charged ready to
fight against the bail bill. l. q
1t is hardly worth while to talk of the
bill itself. 1t will be passed by the
Legi lature, which of itself is equivalent
to saying it will not become law.

IT IS a wise and proper thing to do t,
take the Legislature to Provo to see tn,
Insane Asylum. It is the largest j
not the only public institution in which
the Territory has INDUCED; it has cos
a lot OF money, and is certain to cost :
lot more; the present and .ucceedine
Assemblies for all time will be called
upon to appropriate for the mainten.
ance and enlargement of the asylum
and it is proper that the men charged
with the rightful distribution of the pub.
funds should see and know how well
and wisely the money is being ex-
pended. We believe, after seeing what
has been and is being done for the Door
whose lot is the saddest
which can befall mortals, the Legis-
Iators will more cheerfully vote the
means required to maintain this praise
worthy and humane institution.
