of the boulevard system. The widen
ing of Como avenue has been abandoned

S. L. Moone, of the Northern Pacific
road, is very much elated over the pros
poets of the cattle business in Montana.
Two years ago the winter in that terri
tory was very severe, and in conse-
quence the loss of cattle, especially
COWS and calves, was so great that it
was feared two or three years must
elapSe to enable the cattlemen to get
the cattle business back to its former
basis of prosperity. This has been par
italy accomplished by the modifica-
tlon OF the quarantine orders. This
permitted the entrance of no.
600 cattle into the territory at one time.
With these the stock has been, in a
large degree. restored to what it was
previous to the winter referred to. Of
course a great deal of the stock is
young, but it is coming on rapidly, and
by another season the losses will be for
gotten.
E. c. Long-We have leased the Mid
way stables, and our general idea is to
make place for gentlemen to drive
and exercise their horses and have a
pleasant, social time. AS soon as we
can get to it we will have club house
and such accommodations as are usually
expected. Competent trainers and
drivers will be secured SO that gentle
men may feel assured that their horses
will be taken care Of properly.
