LIVE STOCK IN MONTANA.

Up in Montana the sheepmen are taking
advantage Of the shortage in cattle, which
gives them more territory to range on. The
abundance of grass and water has caused
the relations between the cattle and sheep
rraisers to be somewhat amicab,e this year,
for each has had plenty of grass. In the
Dakotas it has been different. for sheepmen
in many places have monopolized the water
holes and driven the cattlemen to other pas
lures. AS long as there is open range there
will be friction between these two CLASSES Of
stockmen but the time seems to be coming
when there won't be much open range to
dispute over.-Drovers Journal
