wonderful region of the west, it would
hive gone far towards preventing the ex-

Axe wears in the cattle market But since
tiere was not such harmony the very de-
rression is working out remedy through
lie reaction which has followed. While
f5v two or three years the cattle ranges
hive been fruitful only in losses as rule,
the demand for horses and mules has been
strong and prices have ruled so high as to
involve liberal profits. So progressive
1,nchmen have truned to horse raising.
The ranges are admirably adapted to it.
The winter losses among horses are only a
bgatelle as compared with those among
cattle. The care. attention and expense
required are not so great. Already great
deal of capital has been put into horse
ranches, or rather transferred from cattle
ranches. And remarkable progress has
been made in devising methods for horse
raising adapted to the ranges and in i'm
proving the breeds. But aside from the
direct profits resulting from the change, as
before remarked, the great benefit inheres

terests. In this tendency there is the
greatest significance as to the future of the
range regions of the northwest and there
fore for the whole northwest. What is re-
CURED is the development. in due mutual
of its stock interests. cattle,
horses and mules, sheep-in word, every
kind of live stock for which the range
country possesses advantages. And it is a
most suspicious fact that this process of
Development is going forward-going for
ward more rapidly perhaps than is gener-
ally believed.
