HEALTH BOARD AND MILK.
PRESIDENT MURPHY SENDS OUT IN
SPECTORS To WATCH GRAvES'S WORK

President Murphy of the Board OF Health seems
TO be alive to the pernicious effect which any
extensive holding back of the city's milk supply
would have upon the poor. especially In not
weather. He has accordingly sent out inspectors
TO gather the facts and learn whether William
Graves and his hackers conffning their opera
tions to lawful processes or oversteppng the
line in their efforts get the milk delivery sys-
TEN of this city into their own hands. Colonel
Murphy declares he viii at once institute pro-
ceedines IL he finds any trying to decrease
the supply below the city's needs or raise the
price arbitrarily. The Tribune some days ago
pointed the particular decision Of the Appellate
Division of the Supreme Court under which Presi-
dent Murphy proceed, # he is so disposed
That the farmers have placed their laudable
efforts benefit their own condition in the hands
of I'll chosen guides in this instance seems to be
apparent. but a great deal of the farmers dis
content arises from the fact that he compares the
price he gets for his rnilk-say. cents a quart
with the price which the actual consumer pays
wonders why he cannot have more Of the big
profits which he inagines made by the middle
men. In order to learn how large these profits
really are a Tribune reporter endeavored last
week TO get a conservative estimate OF the cost
of can Of milk at the different stages between
the producer and consumer. He talked with one
of the largest and most conservative wholesale
dealers. and afterward showed the figures to an
other man. who for fifteen years was commits
sion agent for the farmers, but is now retired.
The latter considered the figures accurate, except
that the average retail price might be a little
less than that given by the dealer. The dealer
mentioned is paying cents quart. Here Is the
table the unit being a forty quart

CATTLE SHIPMENTS NEARLY OVER.
Secretary Preuitt Says Over Two Hundred
thousand Head Will Have

"This week will see the completion
OF all the large cattle shipments" "
said W. q. Preuitt, secretary OF the
board OF stock commissioners. "In
fact, shipping for this season is prac-
tically over. OF course, n few small
consignments will go forward later
in the fall, but the next ten days will
see the cattle business for l9O0cleared
up. | know of very few that are
holding off until later In the season.
"For the class of cattle that has
been shipped this year prices have
been good. The continued dry spell
affected the quality OF this years
roundup, but all told there is but
little complaint heard among cattle
men. Nearly all the cattle producing
sections OF Montana suffered from
drouth, and owing to the general
impression abroad that we will have
a hard winter, shipments have been
made very close; in fact, fewer cattle
remain on the ranges at this time
than during any corresponding period
for a number ofyears
"'rhe total cattle shipments from
this state for the season will fall be-
low tie figures OF last year, when

just what the shrlnkage will be, but
the number shipped will be consider
ably below 100000. believe. The
value OF the cattle shipped this year
will be close to S7,000,000."
Secretary Preuitt is mistaken when
he says the shipments are over. Sew
eral outfits are arranging TO ship dur
ing the nexttwo weeks. Oscar Steph-
enswill ship 1000 head more and sew

CAN FOLLOW no LONGER.
Another Leading Western Democrat BaIks
on Bryan.
billings Gazette.l

billings Gazettel
William Il. Baker. for many years
leading Democrat OF Chicago and
prominently connected with the Col
umbian exposition, has addressed
the following letter to the Republl-
can chairman:
"Hon. NJ. A. Hanna, Chairman Re-
publican National Committee-My
dear sir: The Democratic organiza-
ton has passed under the control OF
public enemies, and no man who
holds to the traditional doctrines OF
the party Is under the slightest obll-
cation to follow the present leaders.
1.-The policies that guided thepnrty
from Jefferson to Cleveland have
been sidetracked for the isms of Pop.
ulsts and anarchists. Even free
trade has given way to Bryan's
promise that he will recommend
such additional legislation as may be
necessary to dissolve every private
monopoly which does business out
side of the state of it's origin
"This would mean under Populist
Interpretation and control the limit
alton OF all successful enterprise
within state lines; not captivating
program TO suggest at the moment
when American commerce is being
pushed beyond the seas.
"The Democratic crusade against
expansion, termed imperialism, Is
an absolute sham, silly and hypo-
critical invention to divert attention
from their revolutionary purposes.
Expansion has been the policy and
practice of the American people since
the pilgrims landed on Plymouth
Rock and no man who understands
the real spirit OF our institutions can
be frightened by the phantom OF i'm
perialism which Bryan has conjured
up for this campaign only.
"Since Napoleon Bonaparte, there
has been no greater lmperialist than
Bryan himself. His will il the law
OF the party that supports him, and
ifelected he would endeavor to rule
the entire nation with the same iron
hand. Napoleon deluged Europe in
blood to reach throne. and Bryan
would not hesitate to wreck every
industry in the land to attain the
presidency.
"This talk ofimperialsm is like the
rattle OF the snake that hurts no.
body. 1t IL the head OF the reptile
that is dangerous and there you will
find the free silver bite.
"rhe paramount issue Is exactly
the same now that 1t was in 1896. 1t
Is 16 to and luwlessness, as person
lfied In Bryan, versus the gold stand
ard and the security 1t brings.
shall vote for Mckinley as represent
ing the latter. WILLIAM I. BAKER.
Chicago. Sept. 10, 1900"
The Gazette doesn't deem anycom-
ment necessary further than to ex-
tend the glad hand to both Williams.

agent must thereupon cancel the
name OF John Smith with red ink and
the name shall not be included in the
copy of the official register nor In the
check list. After having told the Gilt
Edge registry agent that he had
voted at Utica and the proper blank
having been filled out as before stated,
his name may be entered on the Gilt
Edge list, provided he satisfactorily
answers the other questions concern
ing his residence which may be pro-
pounded. 1t Is not necessary that
John Smith go personally back to
Utica, have his name erased from that
list and present certificate of such
erasure to the Gilt Edge registry
agent before his name may beentered
on the Gilt Edge list. No such hard
ship Is required.
After the final closing OF registra-
tion on October 29th, the registry
agents must cause to be posted lists
OF the electors appearing on their
books, and II included in that list be
the name OF anyone who has died,
removed from the district or become
otherwise disqualified to vote in that
district, two credible and responsible
electors may by affidavit (Form No.
l0) cause the registry agent to cancel
such name and not include 1t In the
copies of official register or in the
check list which he will furnish to the
judges.
County Clerk Kelly some time since
distributed among the registry agents
copies OF the election laws and they
should all be well informed on these
points. The supplies have all been
forwarded, and in this issue appears
notice from each agent giving the
dates upon which he will sit in each
election district and the place where
he may be found.
Every voter should, as we before
stated, see that his name is on the
list, take sufficient interest to see that
the names OF parties who are not en-
titled to vote shall be stricken from
the list, and also ask his neighbors
the all-important question, SIS your
name on the list?" Do not allow u
reply 81 suppose So" to pass unchal-
lenged, but urge that the matter be
looked into. lfyou are not registered
you can't vote.
You cannot register in one district
and vote in another. The only eXcep-
tion to this rule is where the duly
appointed registry agent in your dis
trict fails to act. In such case, and
in no other, may you be registered in
another district, and to do that you
must make an affidavit Form u to
the effect stated and receive from the
registry agent certificate Form p
which will enable you TO votein your
own election precinct. No use oftry-
ing to register at Grass Range, for
instance, and get n GER ificate to vote
at Deerfield or at Halbert. The reg
lstry agent has no authority to give
such q certificate and the judges will
have no right to let you vote. By
doing that you will lose your vote
entirely, because usually in such cases
land there were several two years
ago. the registry agent where you
registered erases your name from his
list when he gives you such pretended
certificate, and even II you get back
there your name will not then he on
the voting list.
Register early. Don't put it OFF
