The Stock Growers journal, published
at Miles City, Montana, makes the follow
ing observations past and prospective of
the stock interests In that section of the
cattle country: "The low prices of cattle
for the past seven years, the large losses
experienced during the hard winters pre-
vious to that time, have caused the cattle
business throughout the country to bene-
elected to such an extent that now, when
money is besoming easier and when those
who have stayed by the business through
thick and thin and are once more out of
debt and have money to invest, the prices
of all kinds of stock are advancing and
the outlook is more favorable than It has
been for years. THIS journal does not
anticipate boom in cattle but expects q
good, steady, healthy advance, one which
will make allthose in the business do we'll

bright business futures As dull
as the times have been over the
country at large, building and
other improvements for that

have slackened during the
building season. The advent of
the 500 road meant much for
the prosperity of the town, but
the activity and prosperity of
the ranchmen and stock raisers
over the length and breadth of
that big County is its greatest
boon. The "burnt district of
the town from the holocaust of
last October, has entirely
disappeared, and brick edifces
erected thereon. A fire last
week destroyed three frame
