GOOD FEEDING IN CANADA
Northern Montana Cattlemen Try
ing the Experiment of Crossing
thS Line.
Especial to Inter Mountain.


Fort Benton, Aug. 2S.-Charles w.
Williams, foreman for c. w. Price, is
moving his family from Chinook to a
new location at Maple Creek, n. r. W.
which will be his home in the future.
Mr.. Price has for three years been
putting in cattle on the range in the
big bend of the South Saskatchewan,
north of the Canadian Pacific between
Medicine Hat and Saskatchewan Land
ing.
The range cattle business in that sec
ton is an experiment so far. and there
is no other range herd of any size but
Mr.. Prices.
The last two winters have been so mild
that they cannote be accepted as a
criterion of ordinary conditions. The
grass is very good. though some old
timers think that frost may prevent it's
curing properly.
The principal defect of the range is
lack of shelter. That whole region is a
nigh, bare bench and very level: there
Is no broken or rolling ground what
ever.
There are no running streams and the
cculees along the South Saskatchewan
are only a few hundred yards long, the
plains dropping off abruptly to the wa
ters edge.
The general aspect of the country Is
very bleak and there is no sage brush
The range is dotted with small lakes
and none of them are fenced; in fact
few settlers have gone in and there
are no sheep at all.
If Mr.. Prices experiment is successful
many range cattlemen from this side will
go into the business into Assinniboia
as the only drawback will be the diff.
Guilty Of stocking up.
The Canadian tariff on cattle is 20 pei
cent ad valorum and the appraisement
is made upon the value in Canada, sc

Great Fails. Aug. 2S-The work of con-
s.ructlnS the outer wall circling the sol.
olers monument in Highland cemetery
mas oeen completed and in few DAYS
the grounds will be graded and sodded.
Inc wall adds much to the appearance
or the monument. and the effect of the
whole structure is far more imposing
tnan on the day it was dedicated last
May.
The wall is Is inches in height and in
the form of a square set diaronally 70

constructed OF cream colored sandstone
the same as that which conposes the
monument.
1t measures 80 feet from corner to cor

meNt there is space Of Ave feet
On each of the four bastions there has
been placed an iron vasettw enty inches
IN helght. with water capacity sufficient
to supply growing plants therein for
twenty days.
When the work of sodding is completed
and the walks which encirc:e the monu-
ment have been finished. the entire mon
ument and its surroundings will present
an effect which cannot but receive the
admiration of all visitors to the ceme-
terry, and which will rebound greatly to
the credit of the monument committee
of which Captain Gregg has been the
moving spirit ever since the erection of
the shaft to the memory of veterans was
first commenced.
Adjutant w. H. Stafford has been en-
gagged for several months in looking up
the record of every soldier now lying
beneath the sod in the shadow of the
monument, and it is expected that by
next spring the government will ship
the head and foot stones to DE placed at
their graves.
There is considerable detail to be at
tended to before the government Off
Gals will approve of each individual
headstone, and the record of each soldier
must be absolutely clear and defined be-
fore the order can be given for it.
A mistake even in a name may prove
a bar to securing it. There is no ques-
ton about the identity of every one of
the veterans buried in Sheridan Post No.

Intoxicated Cattleman.
Especial to Inter Mourtain)


Dillon Aug. 2S.--Joe Burrows. cow
boy, who has been resident Of this
section for the last three years. was
stabbed at 8 O'Clock last evening by
colOred woman known as Toy.
The girl was evidently in a frenzy of
rage. as seven distinct knife cuts were
found in Burrows back by the surgeon
who dressed the wounds.
One of them starts al the point of the
shoulder and extends to the point of the
opposite loin. More than 20 stitches were
taken in the wounds by the attending
surgeon.
Burrows returned from trip from
Billings few days ago and was cele-
brating. The colored women claim he
was in their house during the afternoon
and abused Toy who is a little WOO
man, weighing less than 100 pounds.
Knowing the temper which Toy"
possesses. the other girls locked her up
to keep her and Burrows from fighting.
When Burrows left the place he went
into an adjoining resort.
At the rear of this house the trouble
occurred. The colored women state that
Burrows picked a quarrel with Cora
Fisher, and during the melee Toy"
came out and took hand in the dis.
turbance.
They claim that he slapped Toy" and
knocked her down and during the fight
which followed Burrows was stabbed.
Toys statement at the Jail was SUBJ
stantially the same.
Burrows claims he did not have a
quarrel with Toy he says he stubbed
his toe and fell and TOY" jumped on
him and did the slashng. Cora Fisher
came to the scene and held him. letting
Toy go free, and she cut him twice
