Royal BloOds.

Estill & Elliott yesterday presented
the Miles City Club with handsome
pictures of the bull and COW that
stand at the head Of their Polled-
Angus herd. The bull is Bushranger.
No. 2OI2, "a months old, and weighs
2,Ol0 lbs, sired by Young Viscount,
out of Blackbird, of Corskie 3rd. He
is magnificent looking animal, and
a proper estimate of his worth may be
gathered fro m the statement that sir
George Mcpherson Grant, of Aber-
deem, Scotland, who has the best herd
of Polled-Angus cattle in Scotland,
has full brother OF Bushranger at the
head of his herd. The COW Is Blue
Ribbon, No. 1854, bred by j. Hanny,
of Gavenwood, Scotland, got by Chal-
lenger. out Of Blackbird, of Corskie
End. She 10 3s months old and weighs
about !, 700 lbs. Mr.. Estill & Elliott
are breeding rare strain from these
noted parents, and even the half-breed
progeny which are to be seen In town
carry this royal blood TO al astonish-
ing degree. Bushranger and Blue
Ribbon spend their winters out doors,
and are capable of transmitting to
their progeny the rustling qualities
requisite for this country.

GobbIing the Crow Reservation.

A special TO the st. Paul Globe from
Billings says:
Intense indignation is aroused
here by the discovery that the Crow
reservation is falling into the hands
of a number OF cattle men, whose in
tiuence will retard its opening to
white settlement. Several firms have
already secured permits to Craze their
cattle there, each permit giving con-
troll to large tract Of the best land.
The Briggs & Ellis cattle company
have permit to twenty-five miles Of
water front on the Yellowstone, ex-
tending from Reed Point to Big Tim
ber, and Hoskins & McGirl have q
similar tract extending for many miles
along the Yellowstone and the Big
Horn. Ellis, Of the former firm, is
said to be member Of the Standard
Oil company. The permits we're OBJ
tanned through the Crow agent after
an extensive correspondence with
Washington. They cover the most
valuable agriculture lands. much of
which are claimed by 'squaw men,
who live on them. One of these in
the Briggs d Ellis tract, has $1,000
sheep, while many others run smaller
bands of sheep and cattle. Their oc-
cupation will be ruined when the
large herds of the lessees are turned in
on these ranges, and trouble Is expect
ed. If this system Of permits is
allowed to pass, the agricultural
finest land in the reservation will be
finally secured by the cattle men
under the usual plan Of COW boy loca-
tions. 1t is now understood that an
effort is being made by these cattle
men to consummate the lease pro-
posed by the Denver syndicate two
years ago, and that they have a pow
erful lobby in Washington working
against the opening Of the Crow res
ervation, and for a railroad charter in
the National Park"

such branches Of the road as shall not
have been completed at the time of the
passage of this act. Mr.. Call said the
bill, As reported to the Senate, evaded
the great question which the public
opinion of the United States was fore
ing on Congress. The conviction and
determination of the people was that
all unearned grants be forfeited. Some
thirty million acres Of the grant of the
Northern Pacific company had not
been earned and should be forfeited.
The testimony before Congress showed
that between $4,000 and $40 600 be-
yoDd the cost of the road would be
made by the projectors Of the enter
prise. Mr.. George said, that il. the

separating Alamlpum from oorundum.

Separating Aluminium from Corundum.
As an instance of the need of one por-
ton Of our country for every other por-
ton, 1 may refer to corundum, which is
now mined in North Carolina, near Ash
vile, to be sent to L~ockport. N. Y, a
distance, l should think, by rail, of 1900
miles. Some young men in Cleveland
have invented a process of separating
aluminium from corundum, the latter
containing 80 per cent. of aluminium,
which. while the most generally distrib-
uted substance or element On the globe,
has beer hitherto inseparable in quanti-
ties from the sand or clay with
which it was impurely mixed. You
could throw it on top of the highest blast
furnace on the globe and it would not
melt at all. The new blast furnace at
Lockport is to melt it by electricity.
Yet even now they do not undertake to
separate it, except from corundum.
Aluminium is a remarkable metal, not
known till 1928; not handled till 1854; it
gives tremendous tensile property to iron
and copper, makes wrought iron adapt
itself for castings, and a little of it has
all the influence of gold in arts; by itself
it looks like lead or tin. but it is hardly
heavier than wood. The young men
who invented this process have spent
$4,000 at it.-George Alfred Town
eend
