A LATE ROUNDUP,
FIathed CattIemen Prepare to Count
Their Stock,

Ihelr Stock.
The annual fall cattle roundup on
the Flathead reservation will com
mence next Wednesday, says the
Kalispell Bee. It is not vet known
who will be in charge but it is prob.
able that Arthur Larivee will again
be foreman. The thousands of cat.
tie that have been running over the
plains and hills of the reservation
will e rounded up and sorted out &C.
cording to the brands they bear and
will then be taken in charge by their
owners.
The annual spring and fall round
ups on the Flathead reservation are
not things of beauty and ease, as is
often imagined by the tenderfoot, but
on the contrary those who participate
In them have to be men that are used
to the saddle and Injured to all kinds
or hardships. From early noon until
late at night, and often all night, the
cowboys on the roundup have to be
IN the saddle and the merry chase
AFTER the festive bovine never re-
lakes until all are in charge of their

The roundup this fall will be a big
one and will probably last two weeks
or more. A number of the reservation
cattlemen were in town the past
week purchasing supplies and look
ing after good cowmen. The past
season has been most propitious for
the stock on the reservation and the
animals are in splendid condition.

GROWTH OF THE N. p.
Indicated by Statistics in Its Annual
IL. Report,

Report.
Many items of considerable interest
in the Northern Pacific's annual re.
port are here printed for the first
time. The printed reports will not
be issued publicly until Satul day.
The report shows that in the in
crease of equipment the Northern
Pacific has made a large jump. When
the road was taken owe. from the
hands of the receiver, Sep. 1, 1898,
it owned 574 locomotives. Up to Nov.
1, 1900, ia new locomotives had
been added, bringing the total in
crease up to about % per cent. In
passenger train cars there has been
a larger increase. Tie number CT
new passenger cars up to November
was IA, or 1873 per cert. The total
number at that time was 622.
The total number of freight cars at
that time was 6,7O4, an increase since
1896 of 1908, or 1874 per cent. The
increase in miscellaneous equipment
was 40.2 per cent. The increased horse
power of the locomotives is 62.2 per
cent, and the increased capacity Of
freight trains is 7O.6 per cent, by rea-
son of the purchase of heavier power
and the reinforcement and purchase of
cars of larger capacity.
The average train load of revenue
freight increased in the same period
69.57 per cent, or from 1882 to
32S.16 tons, which is a very remark
able gain for so short a period.
The report of the land department
which has not hitherto been printed,
is of considerable interest.
The report says that instead of
holding the lands at prices which were
high as compared with the prices for
adjoining government lands, the pol.

great success, thereby reducing the

CHARGED WITH ARSON.
MusselsheII Sheepherder Accused Of
Burning Hay Stack.
From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.

Burning Hay Stack.
From Wednesdays Daily Gazette.
Deputy Sheriff Harding, who is sta.
toned at the Musselshell crossing
arrived in the city yesterday with a
prisoner whom he turned over to the
sheriff to await trial on the charge
OF arson. The name of the man is
William B. Steen. The testimony
against him is purely circumstantial.
The alleged crime for which he is
held to answer was committed Sep
TENDER 10, on which date a large
stack of hay belonging to McVey &
Farrell, ranchers on Halfbreed creek,
was destroyed by fire. AS told to The
Gazette the story of Stems arrest
and supposed guilt is about as fol-
lows: On the night before the de-
%struction of the hay Steen stopped at
Sid Twins road ranch. His horses
strayed away and he set out the fol-
lowing morning to look for them and
went as far at McVey & Farrell's
place, where he stopped to make in
quiry for the missing animals. He
obtained no trace there and after
talking a while left and followed the
road. Not long after his departure,
Tom Hurley, who is stopping at the
LaMott ranch, about two miles from
that of McVey & Farrell's, observed
the fire and mounting his horse went
to Investigate. When he arrived the
flames had enveloped the stack and
as he could do nothing to check their
progress, he fastened to the home of
the owners and notified them. Their
suspicious were aroused and they be-
gan to make an investigation.
Footprints, supposed to be those
Of Steen, were found leading from
McVey & Farrell's ranch to a. place
where are the bars opening into the
meadow where the hay was. The
top rail of the bars had been let
down, as though someone had enter
ed, but as the trail apparently con-
tlnued 1t was followed a short dis
lance, where it left the road and en-
tered the meadow. Here it was lost,
but further on down the road it re-
appeared, leading from the meadow.
This and the fact that Steen had been
observed upon leaving the ranch to
travel in the direction of the trail
impelled the owners of the burned
hay to swear out a complaint
against the accused. On the testi-
mony adduced he was held for trial.
Mr.. Harding says that Steen is a
sheepherder and has been in that
section of the country for sometime.
He is considered as queer" by those
Who know him, although he has never
before been charged with the COM
mission of any wrong.
