DEATH OF HARRY G. lANowoRTHY

Many friends here and elsewhere will
sincerely regret to learn of the death of
Harry G. Langworthy, which occurred
on Wednesday afternoon, the 10th, at his
home on Washington street in this village.
The deceased had been gradually failing
for two years, and for the past six months
very rapidly, as the result of complica-
ton of diseases.
Mr.. Langworthy was the eleventh
child and fourth son of Sheffield and Chloe
Langworthy, and was born in Ferris
burgh in January, 1916. OF this large
family only three survive, Mrs. II. f.
Slade, the youngest of the children, and
George and Myron Langworthy, all resi-
dents of the village. The subject of this
sketch had scarcely any educational adj
vantages and was early thrown upon his
own resources. In his younger days he
worked about as laborer. During a
portion of this time he lived in Northern
New York. In 1916 friends established
him in business as general merchant
here. He continued alone in that pur-
suit till about 20 years ago, when he sold
an interest to Frank A. Bond, and finally
Mr.. Bond bought out the whole business
Converted at the age of IS years, tho
deceased had from that time on been q
very active, earnest and consistent mem
Der of the Methodist church, which sus
tains great loss in his death. Few meI
live more in accordance with the teach
ings of Scripture than he did. He was 6
straightforward, upright and thoroughly
honest man of clear and strong convic
tons; and never hesitated, when called
upon, to express his opinions upon ques
tons of morals, private or public.

I'M. New stock Country.

Mr.. William Lykins, who has iust re-
turned from the cattle ranges of Alberta
province, gives the scribe some iniorma
ton in regard to the country.
Mr.. Lykins, with a herd of 100 head
of cattle belonging to the Powder River
Cattle company, crossed the Yellowstone
river at Junction CITY, and kept a due
northwest course. He passed the Mis-.
souri, at Great Falls, forty five miles above
Fort Benton, and pushing on turned loose
on Musquito creek in Alberta.
From the Montana line to Eve river. a
distance of some 225 miles, runs the new
cattle country. 1t is about seventy-fye
miles in width, and lies along the base of
the main Rocky range. The grass is of
the same varieties and characteristics as
those of Wyoming and Montana, but
grow much thicker, forming a, perfect
mat. The water supply is magnificent,
being both abundant and pure, The
cattle of the region are rolling in fat.
The winters are not severe. Indeed,
the range men say that the last three or
four winters have been very mild.
MIR. Lykins thinks hat the region is not
a good place fer cowboys to seek employ
ment in, owing TO the small number of
cattle at present on the ranges. The eat
tlemen Of the region hold their ranges on
leas s from the government, at one cent
per acre. A late government regulation
provides hat all herds entering the pro
vince after the ist Of this month must pay
a duty Of 20 per cent on their gross valua
ton, and that the same duty will be col
lected from all herds already established
there. not holding leases. MIR. Lykins
thinks this will have an immediate re.
strictative effect on the cattle influx. He
speaks very highly of the country, what
there is of it, but is afraid it cannot long
escape ove~rstocking.
