protection to stockmen.

Necessity ls the mother ofinyention,"
So, when years ago, the Spring creek
ranchers discovered their herds growing
smaller, imperceptibly, they resolved on
adopting protective measures. At first
they worked quietly together, gradually
pushing their organization into other
Black Hills localities, until today there
is every indication that the Black Hills
Farmers Protective Stock association.
will soon have effective and active
branches in every part Of the country.
1t is q firstrclass organization, organ
lied by practical men who have been
loosers by the r%ustlers and hence every
loop hole and weak point is securely
covered. The association has inspec-
tors in Sioux City, Chicago and Omaha
who have a brand book containing the
brands OF everyone of it's members; it
has u standing committee who
regularly visit the slaughter houTes
Of all butchers in the country
and it has a second committee
whose duties it is to watch round-ups,
etc. These are good protective meas
ures, but their great merit lays in the
prominently, practical and effective
manner in which they are carried out.
A UNION representative in the course
OF q lengthy conversation with an ac-
tive member OF this association, learned
the names of many OF the most promi-
nent members. 1t embraces in it's roll,
not many Of the, but all OF the, best
farmers in the country. 1t goes further
and here Is where the reporter was as
tonished,-for it includes in in it's roll
the most influential and respected ele-
ment of the local range stock interest.
1t is secret and for this reasonits work
is done very quietly. When it is stated
that 1T a largely through it's lnstru-
mentality that indictments were found
against the cattle rustlers before the
last grand jury, the important part it is
beginning to cut will be apparent. 1t is
only in its infancy, however, and when
thoroughly organized all over the coun-
try, it will, beyond question, so further
to down the growing evil, than anything
that has yet been conceived. Legislative
action will be called to it's aid also, as
soon as that point can be reached.
But above all, it is cheap and every
stockman large or small should join.
Every one, however, cannot do so, for
it is very select, only men whose records
are above suspicion being allowed with
in it's ranks. Mr.. Henry Behrens, OF
Rapid City, one OF it's promoters will
gladly answe all questions in relation
to it's workings, etc.

He Wants Secret Organization.

A prominent white river stockman
writing to the UNION Thursday says:
"Thats right, Give the rustlers hail
columbia. Let us have a secret organi-
cation else, these very men who have
been doing the stealing will get into our
ASSOCIATION and give every thing away.
l belong to the Farmers Protective
Stock association and so do a lot OF
White river range stockmen. We have
Inspectors in Sioux City, Omaha and
Chicago and believe IN extending this
association, throughout the Hills. /
will be at the meeting February Goth in

They All Want Protection.

Frank Stanton OF Spring creek was in
town this week and to a reporterstrong-
,ly advocated the organization OF a
stockgrowers association, saying that
until we had one efficiently conducted,
we would never feel really secure.
Gene Holcomb said: 81 am in for a
good association and stock detectives
to ride the country all the time. I also
want inspectors at the chief marketing
centres. We need a little legislation al
SO, and I think a properly managed
association can effect this quicker than
bp the individual efforts Of rangemen'
