shipped and sold GOO head OF calves,
and expects 400 head more in few
day. The supply is not equal to the

sheep which has ever been made from
Pierre went out the other day, and con-
sisted Of thirty carloads. or over three

ton for an order to show cause in the

interested parties will carry the mat

There is a great deal of complaint in
regard to carcleSSneSS on the part Of
camping outfits on the range country.
through lack OF properly putting out
camp fires on leaving them. a number
OF fires have started which have de-
stroyed large tracts Of winter pastur-
age. While dozens may use all possible
precautiOn, one careless one will do
damage and all campers are blamed
for the careleSSness of the one. A lit
tie care by all will save great deal
of damage and complaint.

removed more serious results would
follow.

The steamers Last Chance and CaDi-
tOla Butt, Of Chamberlain, and several
other steamers owned at down river
points, are having all they can do dur
ing the short period intervening be-
tween now and the time the Missouri
river freezes up in transporting to the
