losses In cows. The cows and calves
wibaux brought In showed quite heavy
loss.
The reason no cattle are seen In this
section Is that storms and snow were
so deep that the cattle all drified south
and more cattle were brought back from
South Dakota this year than ever before
The shipment OF beef will not he so large
this year as last. but not on account Of
the winter. However. the hard winter and

More Police for klondyke.

Ottawa. Ont, Aug. I.-At a meeting Of
the cabinet decision was arrived at
that on account of the fiscal reports from
Dyea relating To the increasing rush Of
miners for the Klondyke fields II was
necessary TO send another detachment OF
100 Northwest mounted police TO the yu-
kon district at once To maintain law and
order. A process Of civil law is also to
be established without delay. A Judge,
however. cannot be appointed until spe-

There Is more under this than | can or
