The Burlington's Extension Of Its

Wyoming.
It Was Done to Secure the Stock
Shipments Of Montana This
Season.
Tho Ranges In THIS State Were Mover In
Better Condition and Big Profits
Are Expected.

CUSTER, Aug. 3d. Special. The exten-
sion of the Burlington to SuQRs station In
Wyoming. reshristensd Alazada for pur-
poses of euphony. will reduce very matsri-
Ally the shipments of cattle from Montana
points this year. Last season this place
was the second or third point in the state
in tho importance Of cattle shipping, some
200 ears or more going from here. This
season the number will not, In the opinion
Of leading stocknen, reach half that
fiRurs. All tho cattle in the No Wood. Big
Horn and northwestern Wyoming country,
will bs shipped from Alazada. This latter
station was established by the Burlington
for the sole purpose of securing this very
desirable business and the expeota-
tions OF tho officials seem in fair
way Of full realization. The heaviest
shippers whose stock formerly
went from Custer. Miles City. Fallon and
other Northern Pacific points, include such
companies % the Harding 81 Campbsll, tho
Dinwiddie Bros, Dana d Co.. tho Des-
Moines Cattle Co., the Wyoming Land and
Cattle Co.. J. H. Conrad, the o. z. outfit,
and others. The aggregate of their bust
ness runs up into sum involving several
figures. Nevertheless there will be thous-

Until within the past few days the ranges
OF this section of the state never were in

cured than for years and water was abund-

fail and cattle had to travel three. four OF
five miles from their feeding place to get
water. and sincs then they have not taken

this time exceedingly favorable for the
