RANGES NEED WATER.
Montana StOckmen Begin to Grow
Anxious Over Conditions.

GREAT FALLS, Mont, April 17-Mon-
tana ranges need water, and they need it
padly. The snow during the winter was
the llghtest since 1898, and unless
there Is rain or snow soon, and lots of
II, cattle and sheep will have poor pick
ing curing the summer, and there will be
nothing left for winter feed.
Last Year the rainfall was light and
grass did not get much growth before it
cured. All through the winter cattle have
ranged on this short growth, and it has
heen eaten so close to the ground that
large tracts look as though sheep had
peen oVtr them. The ground is perfectly
dry and grass has not started Nor will
1t start until the hoped-for moisture
comes.
From all over Northern Montana comes
thesame report, except in the Blackfeet
country, which has been especially IA
Vored. The light snowfall has left the
ground dry, the creeks low and the wa
ter holes mostly empty
While the records kept by the weather
bureau tend to justify expectations for
su1nc1ent rainfall during the next three
or four months, it is not a certainty The
records show an average of good rainfall
every year before this time and it has
not come; and what Stockmen fear is
that the average will not hold good for
the next month or two. The owners of
i've stock in Montana are not particular
~ pessimistic, but they have suffered
from drought before. any they know that
1t may come again.
The cattle and sheep have wintered
Well and there Is said to have been less
loss than IN any winter since stock rails
Ing was first started in Montana This
was owing to the fact that the winter
was mild and the snowfall light. Now
Stockmen wish that the loss had been a
little greater If that was necessary with
more snow.

ILLINOIS SILVER SERVICE.
TowIe Manufacturing Company
Wants So 0ebOGy to Settle.

80 ueOOuy 10 settle.
CHICAGO, April IA replevin suit to
recover the solid silver service of the
battleship Illinois has been commenced
in the circuit court by the ToWle MANU-
featuring company. The corporation
claims that the silver service is a part
of its goods and chatte,s and that they
were taken possession of by the defend
ants, April 5. The service is now in the
custody Of the Northern Trust company
for safe keeping. Tie defendants to the
suit are William Penn Nixon, Harlow
N. Higginbotham, Charles L. Hutchin-
son and the Northern Trust Company
bank
Plaintiffs allege the property Is valued
at $4,000. 1t consists of one large punch
bowl, one tray accompa n:ment. one la
die for the same, one 81 al. punch bowl,
two small ladies, two seven-light candida
bra, one centerpiece and two fruit
dishes.
William Penn Nixon, Harlow N. Hig-
ginbotham and Charles L. Hutchinson
are members of the committee appoint
ed to secure the silver service for the
battleship. They originally let the con-
tract to a company of manufacturing sill
versmiths which is now III the hands Of
receiver. This company transferred
the contract to the Towle Manufacturing
company. The receiver of this first
company, after the contract was COM
pleted, filed creditors bill in which the
members of the committee were included
as being debtors. The committee was
thus stopped from paying the Towe
company for the service, which it had
completed
Attorney Reeves, who represented the
plaintiff, said:
There need be no fear that the battle
ship Illinois will not get it's silver service.
1t was constructed especially for the
battleship and will be given to that YES
sell The committee can secure it from
my clients. If they do not want to pay
my clients for the service, we will pre-
sent it to the battleship ourselves
