Driskill has gone to Miles City to look
at a bunch of cattle offered for sale, and

grass in years; cattle fat; shipment to
market will commence about the same
time as last year, but the cattle will be in
much better shape and number will pro-
badly be larger.
Not since white man set foot in the

E. H. Johnson, the N. P. solicitor, who
was in the place last week, says" Range
never as good since 1883. Shipments
from Dickinson and Fallon will com.
mence July 20 to IS, and will be about
80 per cent less than last year. Cattle
are going to get fat, and a much larger
proportion will sell for beef than last
year"
J. w. Springer had in eight car loads
of horses from his Montana ranch.
They were offered to the government and
the purchasing board visited the yards
and inspected the bunch, taking about
fifteen head, the bulk of the animals be-
ing too large to meet the standard. They
we're a fine bunch of horses, as good as
has ever been seen in Denver, and
brought good prices, those that we're
taken by Uncle Sam.-Dcnycr Stockmcn.
John Clay, Jr. says in the Live Stock
Report for July: Before us lies a large
number Of reports from all parts of the
range, and the story runs all one way: a
good winter, with light losses; a wet May
and June makes big grass; cattle are for
ward in condition; shipment depend up
on the market, and We need not expect
very heavy arrivals from any part of the
range this season, Practically speaking
it has been an ideal year, and prospects
are favorable for the balance of the year.
All through the reports run expressions
of this kind; Cattle are being crowded
out by Sheep or. We are nov fenced
up and winter feed u stock Year by
year the lines are closing in upon the
range cattleman. The old methods are
passing into history; and a new era has
begun. The great pastoral regions OF
the inter-mountain country are to be dealt
with economically, and every spear of
grass will do duty"

clean quality and that the men in the
wool growing business are posted and
know the value of their clips.

friendly natives.
