In the transportation OF cattle
greater advancement has been made
than in all the previous years num-
bered IN the history OF the trade. This
refers especially to the general adop-
ton OF the Street stable car i'm the
shipment OF cattle over long distances.
Notwithstanding the fact that the in
PRODUCTION OF the patent car had for
years been stubbornly and success
fully opposed by the railroads, their
unquestioned superiority created such
IA demand for them that every road in
the west is now willing to pay pre-
mium for the privilege of hauling hem.
Nearly all the cattle shipped from the
trans Missouri country now arrive in
the patent stable cars. Forty-eight
thousand ear loads, or nearly one
million head (one-third of the total
receiptsl, were last year transported
to market in the Street stable car. OF
the Montana cattle received here this
season 81 per cent arrived i'm stable
cars, and not one OF the number was
serlniislv Injured IN transit. Viewed
therefore-making no account OF the
great saving OF time, the avoidance OF
the loss from shrinkaee, etc.-the gen
eral adoption of the patent stock car
must he regarded as great triumph.

DR.. HoLLOwAY's REPORT.
What He Says Concerning Horses and Cattle
in the State.
Helena Indrpen,lent.1

The state veterinary, DR.. Herbert
Holloway, will submit an interesting
report to the board of stock commits
sioners. Among other things, he says
During the past year the health OF the
cattle of the state has been particu.
larly good. Very few complaints re.
garding diseases Of cattle have been
made, and IN no ease has there been
disease OF IA serious character. Occa-
siOnal outbreaks of blackleg have
appeared, but the losses have been
slight. The only contagious disease
among cattle is octenomycosis, or biz
jaw. This prevails to u limited extent.
and it is advised that steps be taken
to dispose OF the present cases. The
animals are comparatively worthless.
and now that the question OF feed il

have been sold for food by cert ain

The shipments of cattle IN Montana

WORLDS SUPPLY OF IVORY.
Where 1t Is Obtained and How II Is Mar
keted

We obtain certain proportion OF
our supplies OF ivory from Asia, but
| the bulk and the best comes from
Africa. Indeed, a great part OF what
is nOminally East Indian is really
African, for it is sent from Zanzibar
and Mozambique to bombay, and
such parts as are not required for
bangles ana carved work are shipped
to England. More or less comes from
Burmah, Siam, Cochin China, Ceylon,
| Sumatra and Java, the Siamese being
the best OF the Asiatic, which is apt to
discOlor. The African is shipped from
Senegambia, Guinea, the Congo. the
Benguela and other places on the west
coast; Zanzlbar, Mozambique and
Sofala on the east; Cape town on the
south; and from runis, Tripoli, Alex
andria and Cairo being brought down
from the interior IN caravans.
London H. the great market for
ivory, and buyers for both home and
abroad attend the four series of sales
held at the London docks. Liverpool
through its trading connection with
the west coast receives a certain
amount OF ivory and has a series of
minor sales, and Antwerp l. now try
| ing to cut into the trade a. an out
come of the Belgian effort in the ongo
| Free state. Al the last SERIES oi sales
held in London only seventy-iiVc toms
We're offered, but the quautitIc. u-u-
ally range from 100 to l3O tons. The
last auctions in Liverpool disposed of
thirteen tons, and about thirty One
tons were offered at Antwerp. Last
year the total imports of ivory INTO
this country weighed | | 80. hundred
weight. This would mean at least
$1,000 tusks and the destruction of
5000 elephants for this market
alone. Germany, France and America
share in these supplies, but they also
obtain ivory direct-more especially
Germany. One authority reckons the
annual rtallty of African elephants
as high "a. $1,000 for export alone,
besides which there l. II large con
sumpt ion in Africa itself, the chiefs in
the center keeping the choicest tusk>
for the decoration of their temples,
houses and graves. One qualification
should be noted. However long-lived
the elephant IL, n considerable number
must die naturally every year, and "a
corresponding proportion OF ivory toe
obtained from elephants which are not
slaughtered. The natives discover
great quantities in what are known as
the elephants buryina grounds.

est tusks seen for "A large time was dis

Gooo ADVICE. Pre- fit By 1t.

Hon. J. S. Clarkson thinks it
necessary if the Republicans are to
win in 1892 that the Republican
newspapers be better supported, and
their circulation more widely extend.
ed. In this Mr.. Clarkson shows
his good sense says the B. 6 s.
Journal. If all the Republican
support was withdrawn from them
a very large percentage of the Demo
cratic and so-called Independent
newspapers would be compelled to
suspend for lack of patronage. Let
good Republicans see to it that
newspapers which advocate their
own political faith be better sup
ported, and the result will soon be
apparent in better Republican news
PAPERS. Every conscientious editor
and no profession contains larg.
er portion of conscientious mer-
will make his paper as good as the
support given him will justify; in
fact, in majority of cases he makes
it far better than the support he re-
ceives will justify.
