Ing III Northern Montana. The field of
It's operations comprises the counties Of
Cascade, Choteau, Teton and Valley.
The local associations have all had wolf
ers out daring the past season, and
their work has been done So thoroughly
that losses from these pests will be
much diminished in the future.

reporter expressed themselves is being
extremely gratltied at the condition of
public sentiment in Cascade county.
which made it uesible for them to re
ceiVe the same degree Of protection for
their property which is accorded

extremely undesirable field for the work
of the industrious cattle rustlers. and the
cattlemen duly appreciate the fact.
