A Number of Local Horses Will Go
to Montana


The programme of the Montana
Jockey club, published in yesterdays
Herald, caused much comment among
the horsemen Of this city The purses
are larger than many expected to see,
and number of owners of fast horses
are already making preparations to en-
ter some of the events. Tom Mccoy
stated that he did not have at the
present time a horse that ne could en-
Ter in the running races. He is anx-
lOusly awaiting the puOliC alton Of the
harness events, and if the purses are
as liberal as in the running races he
viii probably be on hand with an entry
or two. He stated that John Lewis,
9. F. Tanner and George Edwards
would send runners to the Butte and
Anaconda races, and the list of entries
from this city might be increased be
fore the meets take place
Nothing has been done as yet in re-
gard TO the Calder'S track, although
several parties are figuring on secur-
ing lease for the coming season. T.
r. Black yesterday said that racing
could : made to pay IL this city if the
proper parties could get possession of
the track and run it right. The great
trouble seems to be in getting some
one at the head of the track in WHOM
the public places confidence, and if the
services OF such a manager could Re
secured q number of interesting turf
events could be pulled of the coming
spring and fall.
The old-tlme race horse, Don Angus,
owned by Mat Cullen, died at Grand
Junction last week. This animal was
about p years old, and for a number
of years held the high wheel suIky
state tTOtting mile record of 2:1SA The
death of this horse will be surprise to
a number of the Old-time followers Of
the turf.

be a scramble FOR players. The Amer
lean league magnates have spent
great deal of money in the east, and
they must protect it by putting in good
teams. To do this they have made
themselves strong with the players by
adopting the demands of the players
in every form. The National league,
on the other hand has turned the play
ers down hard, and viii try a little
game Of freeze-Out with them. Both
sides are risking all in one throw. and
it is going to be a fight for extermina-
ton. The National league expects TO
win out on a sOund-mOney basis. It's
magnates claim that they have the
money with which to pay the salaries,
and that the players will follow the
flight Of the golden eagle. This pTOpO-
sitiOn has always been true, and it will
be miraculous if it does not work this
time Enough Of the players viii chase
the coin TO make the Players union
very weak, and if they do not all re-
turn with d rush they will gradually
drift back to the money bags.

president of the League of American
Wheelmen, has been justly rewarded
for the interest he has displayed in l.

RetaliatOry Measure to Exclude
Idaho Sheep From Utah.

Governor Hunts proclamation bar
ring Utah sheep from the Idaho ranges
is likely to result in some reta1iatory
measure by Utah sheep owners. The
reason alleged by the Idaho executive
for keeping the Utah animals out of
his state IS that they are afflicted with
scab. Now local foekmasters say there
isn't any sca-b anywhere in the state.
The real reason for the Idaho inhibi-
ton is stated to be that the sheepmen
up there want to save their ranges for
their own sheep. This is all very well
as far as il goes. the Utahns are say
ing, but it is game that two can play

state have found this very convenient
where they have no winter range of
their own or where they have no facili-
ties for winter feeding The plan pro-
posed is to keep the Idaho sheep on the
other side of the line.
As the law stands at present Cover
nor Wells has no power to issue A proc-
lamation barring Idaho sheep from this
state. The legislature will be asked
during the next few days. to give him
this power There is little reason TO
doubt, IN view of the existing circum-
stances, that the authority will be
SLdIIeu 10 the executive and then the
sheepmen will ask him to exercise II
at once and to keep on exercising it as
long as Idaho keeps Utah under the
ban.

Reasons Are Answered.

Answering these reasons, the report
says:
"First-There is no evidence to show
that Professor Ross gave occasion for
his dismissal by any defect in moral
character. On the contrary President
Jordan states in his letter of Feb 7. to
the committee: No ground exists for
ing on his private character
SecOnd-There is no evidence to
show that Professor Ross gave occa-
sion for his dismissal by incompetence.
On the contrary, President Jordan
stated in a letter of May. 1900. that he
(Ross) was a careful thinker and
patient investigator; a constant
source of strength to the university
and one of the best teachers, always
just moderate and fair
''Third-There is no evidence that
Professor Ross gave cause for his dis
missal because of any unfaithfuIness
in the discharge of his duties On the
contrary, President Jordan stated. in
a letter of May, 1900. that he has been
most loyal, accepting extra work and
all kinds of embarrassments without
a word of complaint And that he was
a wise, learned and noble man. one
Of the most loyal and devoted of all

"Fourth-There is no evidence to
show that in his published interview of
