Wolf Hounds i'm Montana.

The nimble footed hound is destined
to live in Montana rs a valuable factor
in its progress and development This
may strike the average reader us trivi-
al assertion, but if the facts are consid-
cred it will become apparent that the
subject is one of more than ordinary
Importance.
The extinction of the wolves On the
Montana ranges is one of the most seri-
Gus problems that confront the stock
men Of the territory. These pests have
caused them great deal of trouble, and
the losses from their depred ations have
been very heavy. Efforts to extermi-
ate them with poisoned bait have prov
ed futile. and the voracious providers
have had things pretty well their ow n
way. The Benton and st. Louis Cattle
Company is making an experiment
which may prove successful and bring
relief to the cattlemen. A number of
hounds have been imported, which are
taken on hunts when the wind and
weather are favorable. They have made
IL warm for the wolves OIL several oc-
casions and killed number. and the
chances are that CONSERVATION and
dismay has been sown in their ranks.
and the an nails that escape will leave
for distant ands. The experiment has
been satisfactory. and the hound will
likely be held in high repute hereafter
in Montona. Helena IndsDendent.

a divorced woman whose husband he

England has been experimenting with
tobacco growing for two or three years

up an old statute of Charles u. which eX-

in Great Britain under penalty of 5000 a

business men of Milwaukee. He is a
Canadian, having first seen light at

and besides acquiring an acquaintance
that is as wide as the continent, saved
enough of his salary to aid in establish

kee, extensive importers of embroideries
and laces. The firm employs eight
travellers, and Louis does Minnesota and

take partner for life, and next October

the gentleman at home if his services

Mr.. CLIFFORD in his electioneering tour
two years ago. there is sagacity shown
by the delegate in staying away and
operating through bureau from the

that are desirable for politician, and
that the less he is required to say
about his labors to promote Dakota
measures the better. He has done a
