ter pens. But II fed during the summer
he proves the highest type Of western
beef -
The markets this year have withall
been very satisfactory. There was Il
tendency to slump when the drouth In
the Middle states caused a shortage of
the feed crop. but Montana range fed
cattle stood up well in the market and
brought excellent prices. The slump
tendency was reactionary. however. Au
thorites on the question have predicted
that there would be beef famine. as
the number of cattle being fed during
the winter in the Middle states-in the
corn BELTS very much less than ever
before The beef consumption Is in
creasing annually. and there is no ques-
ton but the spring will see beef higher
than ever before.
1t is safe to assume that next year
Montana range cattle will bring higher
price than ever before. There is an
abundance of hay in stack in all parts of
the state. Generally speaking the alfalfa
crop last summer was never larger and
having some left over from last winter
cattle men are prepared to stand long
winter.
The conditions which confront the live

that will be ready for shipment next
year. and the protection which the ranch
men have from loss through the pro-
vision of large quantities of hay to feed
during the winter portend we'll for the
future.
The quality of the beef shipped from
Montana this year compares favorably
with the records made during previous
seasons. Indeed that was one OF the not
able features of this years round up.
While in numbers the season sent fewer
cattle to market. in quality Montana
"critters" were not rivaled by the cattl'
of the states to the south of here. There
is always brisk market for Montana
range cattle.

in nearly all of the cities and mining
camps of the West-there has been such
an interest in organization as was never
shown before.
Before another six months has passed

ization. The working people are fully
awake to the necessity of combining for
their own protection.
The great organizations of labor are
taking advantage of this favorable sen-
timent, and the result Is that, In spite
Of local dissension in one place and an
Internal quarrel in another, the greatest
labor movement the world has even
known is being built up on sound, In
telligent and practical working basis.
And the vanguard of this movements
is right here on the hills and In the

punches owned by small ranchers on
the range this year than last. The pros
poets for wintering in good shape are ex-
cellent. The range Is in splendid condi-
ton. and 1t Is probable that but little
feeding win be necessary.
Thtte Is no wool in Cascade county and
none on hand in tributary country. The
amount of wool shipped from this point
was about 100000 pounds. Not over
10000 pounds were consigned. The aver
age price received in this market was q
trifle over IL cents.
During the season just closed there
have been shipped from Big Timber and
tributary country about 5000 head OF
sheep and lamps and $500 head of cattle.
Satisfactory prices were paid for sheep
and lambs this year, although the figures
were not as high as last year. Sweet
Grass county stock topped the market
both in weight and price for Western
range stock. For several years this
county has either been at the top, or
close to it. The excellent condition of the
cattle from this section Is no doubt
due in part to alfalfa feed, which is next
to grain feed. The shipments of wool
from this point last season amounted to
not quite 1900 900 pounds.
At least half as much more would have
been shipped from here. but for a mis-
understanding regarding the freight rate
from Two Dot and Harlow. many ship
pers being under the impression that they
could not secure the reduced through
rate unless they shipped to Billings.
It Is estimated that there will be VIM
tered in this vicinity about 100000 head
of sheep and $4,000 cattle. The open
range is getting very scarce and the
feed on it is already eaten off. There Is.
however, more land under fence than
ever before in this county and feed in the
enclosures is in abundance.
More hay has been put up by most
stockmen One noticeable feature Of tn
horse business is the big Improvement
in stock, nearly every owner now breed
ing to blooded stations.
The season has been the shortest for
number of years, which was due to the
late opening.

practically everyone who uses hay has all
he needs or more. Hay is cheaper in this
section than 1t has been before in years.
In addition to the shipments from Ben
ton. Galata. on the north. has shipped
about 500 cars of cattle. and Galata and
Cut Bank together have shipped 200 cars
of sheep. Big Sandy has shipped about
80 cars of sheep and 245 cars of cattle.
AS all these places might be called con-
tisuous territory. the totals would be
something like this: Cattle. $4,000 head;
sheep@ 10000 head; wool. 100000 pounds.
The cash value of these amounts to
considerable over 81 .0oO.0vv.
While some of the horse shipments
have not been satisfactory to the buyers,
nevertheless the owners of range horses
have had more active sales and better
prices than for many years past. About
5000 head have been sold from this terri
tory. The prices have varied from S. to
$S5 for unbroken range -.orses, the cay
uses bringing the bottom prices.
The estimate from the Great Falls mar
ket of 1901 shipment is: Cattle, 2432;
houres, 1888; sheep, 1900, and rs mules
Sales of livestock and sheep are approx
mately equal to the shipments with home
consumption added. There will be Win
tered in Cascade county about 225,OOt

tary to Great Falls about 100000. The
number of cattle wintered will probably
reach $4,000; horses, 25,Cvv.

M0NTANA'S0RGANlZEDLAB0R

Not in many day has organized labor
in the West had such cause to hold up
its head with pride as is found in the
bright surroundings Of this Christmas
season. Looking backward over the rec
ord of the past, or casting a glance for
ward to what may be expected in time
to come, it's all the same. Good report
Is heard everywhere and up and down
the state are seen evidences of what
labor has accomplished for it's upbuild-
Ing as we'll as for the permanent i'm
provement of the commonwealth.
Not in all the state is a foundation
laid so firmly as the underpinning of
the states labor unions. Dotting the
broad area of Montana from end to end
are substantial evidences that men have
been at work with tools of their trades
making vast changes in the face of the
landscape nature left when order was
called from chaos and a finished job was
made of the globe. Great forests have
been hewed down, the hills have been
tunneled for ore and swiftly great cities
have risen beside long stretches of iron
rails, the highways of the plains
And while all these things have gone
forward in an amazing way and the
best work possible has been turned out
by skilled mechanics, there has been
much attended to that Is not in evil
dence, but which forms the bulwark of
labor IN the state. In every section of
Montana where labor is employed the
union has its watchful guardianship
over the welfare of the wage Garner.
The forms and customs Of labor are
recognized wherever a payroll is found
IN the state. The regulations of the
unions are in force and the workers are

many states and principalities. 1t was
used by the cattlemen as free range.
Some of the land belonged to the North
ern Pacific railroad, much of 1t was I'M
surveyed and the government held the
greater portion of it.
Since then. however. things have
changed. The railroads have started
their crusade for immigration and
great deal of the land is being settled
All the farm lands of the state are oc-
cupied and the great ranges OF grazing
land that will never be any more than
grazing land is passing into the hands
of many owners.
While there are IA number of big out
fits still in the state. cattle rlen agree
that they will soon be obliged to move
unless they can own all of their land.
1t is estimated that there are 100000
cattle in the state of Iowa. In Montana
there are in round numbers about l,ooo.-
900 head This state is many times the
size of the state of Iowa, yet the latter
state produces five times as many cat
tie.
This illustration is used to show the
difference between the range cattle bust
ness and the winter fed cattle industry
as conducted in some of the older states.
1t has been a favorite axiom of the
cattle man that it requires 4o-acre lot
in Montana for every steer. Under Gull
tivation, either through irrigation or on
the bench OF lowlands. 20 acres can be
made to support many head Of cattle.
1t is estimated by the best authorities
on the subject that 10 years will see tie
cattle of the state double and perhaps
treble in numbers. The range herd which
was scarcely given attention, and never

animal that will produce a much better
beef and more of it. He will be owned
by many owners. Instead of spending
weeks under the protection of the walls
of deep coulee and securing nothing
except that which he can rustic, the
coming beef animal of Montana will be
wintered in enclosures protected from
the storms, and fed on alfalfa hay dur
ing the winter. 1t will not take him
half the summer to recover from the
storm of the winter. but when spring
comes it will find him fit for the slaugh-

A perusal Of the table gives an idea
that Montana is producing fewer cattle
than in the past. This is partially true,
but 1t cannot be taken to mean that Mon
tana's great industry-the live stock BUS
iness-is on the decline Quite the con-
trary. While the range herd is fast be-
coming thing of the past, for every
range steer that is butchered and shipped
out of the state several clover and alfalfa
fed cattle are substituted.
The steady settlement of the state has
curtailed the range privileges of the
large outfits and many of the big firms
have sold out their holdings. In fact
but few cattlemen are running more cat
