SHEEP INCREASING RAPIDLY.
Minnesota Editor Gives His impres.
sions Of Montana.

". +. . H.
George F. Wright of the Isanti Coun-
ty Press has returned from Montana,
where he represented the Minnesota
Transfer Railway company and the
Twin City stock yards at the live
stock convention at Miles City and
Fort Benton, at which places the an
nual meetings Of the Montana Stock
Growers association and the North
Montana Roundup association were
leld respectively, says the Minneapo-
lis Journal. He reports range condi-
lions in Montana as looking fairly
good, but while the season is perhaps
a month earlier than last year and
while the winter was mild, there was
very little snow and in some sections
unless there are cOpious rains there
will be a very dry range for sheep and
cattle. Generally speaking, however,
the outloon is not at all bad, cattle and
sheep will do very well.
Last year 10000 cattle we're put on
Montana ranges but none of these cat
tie will be ripe for market this year.
Shipments off the Northern Pacific
will average close up to those of last
year, while off the Great Northern
there will be a shrinkage Of probably
~ pei COAC. OuOulu CuC ulllulCf UC
very dry shipments would Of course
be heavy, as stockmen would not care
to take chances on wintering the
stock. The days of the big outfits and
ranges are fast drawing to a close in
Montana because new settlers are get
ting possession of the many small but
important sources of water supply.
Another factor in the humiliation
of the big cattle outfits and extensive
system of grazing is the sheep in
dustry that is h~oney-combing Mon
tana and the whole west. Sheep are
increasing faster than normal trade
conditions a get rid of them, and it
is said that in Oregon after lambing
there will be 1000, 900 more sheep
than can be sustained on the ranges
of that state. The price Of western
wool is low and is being shipped on
consignment at 10 cents and around
that price. Wool men cain that wool
en- manufacturers are using so much
shoddy and cotton in the manufacture
OF wooden goods that the demand for
wool has fal4en off at a rapid rate.

millinery at 1858 Milwaukee avenue,

HIS OWN ADMISSION.
Statement BY Dr.. Townsend, Former
City Physician. .5a

Hs
After receiving the foregoing com
m%unication The Gazette interviewed
DIR. q. p. Townsend, who until recent
ly was city physician and physician to
the board of health, knowing that he
had investigated one complaint against
Mr.. Gilsdorf, made last winter. In
ing statement:
Last November or December l had
a report come to me from a reputable
citizen that A. J.. Gilsdorf was selling
lumpy-jawed beef. Being city ply
stefan and physician to the board of
health of Billings at that time l made
it my business to inquire into the
matter. The citizen said he knew who
had sold the steers and referred me
to Martin Miller. Going to Mr.. Miller,
he told me that he had sold four
lumpy-jawed steers to Andy Gilsdorf
at $40 per head. / then chased the
matter up and heard hat the steers
had been killed at the, old slaughter
house, east of the city. 1 went up
there and found one skull that was de-
cidedly lump-jawed. That proving the
sale, l went to Andy Gilsdorf and
asked him if he had bought any lump
jawed beef. After much talking he
admitted that he had bought some. l
then asked him what for. His reply
was that so the boys Of the shop might
make some money by selling the hide
and tallow. l i%nnocently asked him if
the hide and tallow of one steer was
worth $40. He had nothing to say
to this. | further asked him what he
had done with the meat, and in reply
he said he had sold it to Indians.
II then reported the matter to the
county and city attorneys, who told
me that there was no law to convict.
l had all the testimony and the mans
confession, which was sufficient to
convict had there been any law. l
believe that this practice has been con-
tinued eve since under the impression
that there was no law"
