ANew Cattle compaay.

The following notice regarding the
purchase of the Phillips Land and Cattle
business in Montana, is taken from the
Pioneer Press of last Saturday and will
be news to many.
Nearly 5000 cars of cattle have moved
through St. Paul during the season just
closed, from the Montana and North Da-
kota ranges to the Chicago market, being
1900 cars less than last years move
ment, as the natural result of the ranges
being so lightly stocked with young cat
tie the last two or three years, owing to
the high prices then ruling in Texas,
which is the largest source OF supply for
the northern range cattle
Cattle men, on the whole, arc san
guine that changed conditions in sight
will result in ycarlings being produced
at more reasonable prices, which will
warrant active shipping to the northern
ranges next spring. A large deal lately
made indicates renewed confidence in
the future on the part of L. w. Stacy. Of
Miles City, Mont, and Edward F. Swift.
of Chicago, who have bought out the
Phillips Land & Cattle Co. interests,
comprising some 1900 cattle, ranch,
range rights, ETC., located in Custer and
Dawson counties, Mont, between the
Yellowstone andIthe Big Missouri rivers
The Phillips herd is considered one of
the best in the northwest, and will be
promptly increased by 5000 head, or over,
of young stock from Texas the coming
spring, and as much or more each year.
The transaction at this time cannot fail
to aid materially in restoring confidence
in the range cattle industry generally in
Montana.
The Swifts of Chicago, have been
identified with the cattle business fol
manv years and are no strangers on the
Montana ranges. They own extensive
breeding ranches in the panhandle dis
trict in Texas where they are large grow
ers.
In the formation of the new compan,
and the purchase of, the LU- range
ranch and stock Nh. L. w. Stacy, o
Miles City, was made vice president ant
