]. D. Uhlman, the old Morning Star
Cattle Company manager, who is start
ing a ranch for himself 100 miles north
of Dickinson, bought IFS calves recently
OF Murphy Bros. at sI7 per head. This
is a high price to pay for 6.month.old
calves, but natives command this price
this season. In fact. many of our ranch
ers would not sell their calves for less
than $40 per head.
A. H. Arnett received 10 carloads of
Kansas City cattle on Monday.
]. E. Lewis and H. 7. Wright were in
from the Grand River country a few

Thirty head of the Duff cattle sold in
Chicago last week at $3.50 per cwt., illus
trating again, the great advantage to the
grower Of good breeding and the proper
handling of stock on the range. These
4-year-old steers:were native Shorthorns
and were ranged 50 to 60 miles south
~est of Dickinson, in the vicinity of
Chalk buttes. They averaged in weight
l424 pounds and brought s78.32 per head
in Chicago, or s72.32 net to the owner.
This is the highest net price for grass-fed
beeves received by any person this
season. 1t is believed, however, that
George Harkins has 4-year-old steers
which if sold on equally as good a mar
ket will bring as much money, if not a
little more.
This week George Ludolph bought $40
2-year-old steers of A. H. Arnett at
$37.so per head. These steers. Short;
horns and Herefords, were bought by
Mr.. Arnett's agent in Kansas City and
are considered about the best grade Of
stock shipped from the south. this season.
Mr.. Ludolph will winter some over 600
cattle at his ranch near Yule, where he
controls yer six miles of range along
the Little Missouri river. He has AM E
shed room and is putting up about 500
tons of hay. There are few better ap-
pointed ranches in western North Dakota
than MI. Ludolph's, which is easily capa-
BILE OF running 1000 cattle.
If rumors are true the issuing Of passes
will be revolutionized after January l.,
1902, and shippers will not receive re-
turn transportation on one car of stock.
The rumor says n return pass will be
given for two cars, two for five cars and
three for eleven cars. The limit will be
three, the railroads claiming that this
number of men can care for a trainload
Of stock. The rule at present is half fare
on the return where there is one car and
a pass in case of horses, a return pass
with two cars and two with three to FIVE
cars, three with five to seven, and four
with more than seven.-Stock Growers

T. L. Beard is arranging to feed sheep
again at Casselton.
1t was recently reported that the rail-
roads had come to an understanding and
that all live stock solicitors on the
tNorthern Pacific we're to be laid off at
an early day. This is likely true in a
measure, but it may be that the solicitors
will be retained until the first of the
year. At least, they are still here and
have had no notice to leave the field. 1t
is generally understood. that the roads
between st. Paul and Chicago, compel
ing for stock shipments from the range
districts, have been doing a little rate
cutting, amounting to- reduction from
the regular tariff of $40 per car. The
companies have discovered that this
kind of business is improbable and they
are now figuring on a different plan.
