that all councils attached to the National
Council refuse to allow members of al

VIII Cease to Sport.

We are soon to lose the celebrated
geysers Of the Yellowstone park, re-
ports the New York Herald. These
marvels of nature which for many
generations have excited the wonder
OF visitors and formed one of the ex-
traordinary natural phenomena Of
the United States, are rapidly becom-
ing extinct. The Roaring Mountain
geyser, although llemitting steam,
has ceased to spout; the Black Growl-
er is showing only the feeblest signs
Of life, and the renowned Fountain
geyser, in the lower basin Of the Yel-
lowstone, and the Splendid and the
Beehive, in the upper basin, are at
the present time practically extinct.
Thus five Of the world renowned gey-
sers of the Yellowstone have gone
out Of business without any new hot
springs appearing. The other gey-
sers in the neighborhood, including
tlIt ol'i tHt
DEVILS Inkput and the Minute geyser
all show that their power il rapidly
diminishing and that their days are
numbered. The celebrated European
scientific paper entitled Ciel ct Terre,
in considering these facts, predicts
that the geysers Of the Yellowstone
will exist for only n few more years,
during which their activity will
steadily diminish. Thus the Yellow
stone Park which has attracted Wis
itors from all parts OF the world
must needs be visited during the next
few seasons II the most uncommon
features OF that wonderland are to
be seen at work.

PROPAGATION OF WOLVES.
Stockmen Viii Discuss Bounty Business d
Miles City This Week.

The annual meeting OF the Nor
tana Stockgrowers' Association,
which will be held at Miles City this
week, promises tn be largely attenC-
ed. One OF the important questions
that will he discussed at the coming
meeting will be one relating To tie
determination of wolves and coyotts
whose depredations cause the stock
men OF the state an immense loss in
the aggregate every year. In refer
ring to the question editorially, the
Stock Growers Journal, of Miles
City. says in its last issue:
1T cannot be successfully denied
that as u rule the wolf bounty hunt
ers rather encourage the propagn-
tion Of the wolf and coyote tribe on
these ranges by passing up the moth
er wolf, Though generally kill the off
spring. To make determination sure,
the plan OF no bounty without the
she wolf Is put in evidence would
seem a step In the right direction.
Possibly the lump sum of $50 per den
IN extreme, hut il il certain that un-
der the present system the wolves are
not suffering half as much AZ the
tlocks and herds, and it must be re.
membered that the life OF n wolf ex-
tends over many seasons. Careful
estimation of the bounty fund nc.
quired by the present taxation makes
it likely that the amount would fall
short after the first year, but two or
three years would abrogate the
necessity OF anything but nominal
tax for this purpose, as the wolves
would by that time almost cease to
exist"

changes, his head begins to swell. and be- il
prone to assume what are indignantly
known as "airs.' II this is the rule
which is seriously to be questioned there
are some notable exceptions. first among
them being Senator Carter, OF Montana,
who looks enough like the pictures oi Uncle
Sam to have posed for them. This emin'
ent legislator has not changed an iota in
manner, appearance or his point 81 view,
since he donned the toga five years ago
but, AS one OF his constituents, who jour
neyed from lar Montana TO see "his sena

before she became a state, he remembers
with gratitude the prairie state where he
was educated aud where the foundation.

20 per cent higher than year ago. An.
