DESERT LAND SENTIMENTS.
New Decision Of the Local Officers Cover
Ina the Disputed Questions.

Two decisions Of the register and
receiver OF the Judith land district,
in settlement Of contests previously
filed were rendered In the office the
past week. Both Of them cover In
teresting points.
The first was in the case OF Hart
ford ID. Arkwright, contestant, VS..
Gotthold Kruger. contestee, and In
volved the latter's homestead entry
No. 145l for the south half OF the
southeast quarter and lot four,
southeast quarter Of the southwest
quarter, section 30, township nine
north OF range twenty-eight east.
The Contestant Arkwright alleged
that the filing had not been made in
good faith by Kruger, but thatit had
been made with the purpose OF Sc
curing the land for another, and that
ut or about the time OF filing an
agreement had been made with one
Lester ID. Moffett. The hearing
brought out many interesting points
and bore closely upon what is gener-
ally considered to be a constant
practice OF fraud and the taking up
of land for others than the apparent
beneficiary. Sensational testimony
developed and the absence of Mr..
Moffett from the hearing was a sub
ject for remark, as he could have
given direct testimony upon the prin-
cipal points involved.
The officers hold that Kruger hav-
ing compiled with he homestead
law as regards settlement, cultiva-
ton, etc., fraud must be absolutely
proven to warrant the cancellation
OF the entry and the only evidence
adduced being indirect and largely
hearsay, the contest il dismissed.
The other decision is In the case OF
Theo. Lindsey VS.. Geo. Allan and in
wolves the latter's desert land entry
No. 1904 for lot two, section two,
township nineteen north OF range
fourteen east, and the west half OF
the southeast quarter, the south
west quarter Of the northeast quar-
ter Of section thirty-tive, township
twenty north of range fourteen east.
Allan filed a desert land entry for
the land August 9Th, 1900, and Lind
sey claimed to have settled upon the
land in October 1895, to have since
resided there, cultivated the land,
placed improvements thereon to the
value of 81 900 or more and to have
had a priority right to file u a
squatter, il having been his intention
to make a homestead entry therefor.
Lindsey produced several witnesses
to prove his allegations and his right
to the land was sustained by the
officers, the entry of Allan being held
for cancellation. The decision in
cludes a resume OF the requirements
OF the desert land law and of the de-
cisions affecting 1t. which will prove
OF interest and will appear next week.

CATTLE INDUSTRY DECLINING.
Shipments Of Past Year Show a T slling OF
from the Previous Year.

The report Of the state board of
stock commissioners for 1900 notes
evidences Of the decline of the range
cattle industry in Montana. Itsays:
Cattle shipments of 1900 again fall
short OF the previous year by 10 to II
per cent. which can be accounted for
by a further ~shrinkage of the range
cattle business. The rapid and
steady settlement Of the state Is fast
curtailing range privileges, and while
there was a decrease in the output,
yet the total number of cattle re-
naming In the state doubtless show VS.
n decided increase over the previous
year. owing to the multiplication Of
small ranch herds, the increase of
which aggregates more than the de-
crease In range herds.
During the past year the inspec-
tors reports give n total Of 120,055
head of cattle shipped out Of the
state, including those sent to east
crn markets, feeders into the corn
belt, and some 5000 head which were
shipped to markets Pacific markcss.
In addition to cattle shipped, the
home consumption is estimated at
10000 head. making the total beel
output lSO,OG6 for the year. OF this
plumber there were l,6I9 strays,
7,15l Of them being RENTED direct to
the owners, while the remaining
3,S9S head were RENTED to the own.
ers through the Montana stockgrow-
ers' association"
The report says that the high price
OF young stock was made so that
there was n shortage in the number
brought in tC replenish the ranges.
Seventy thousand head were import.
ed, of which AS were thoroughbreds
to be used for breeding purposes.
The Importation Of fine breeding
stock is steadily improving the quail
ity of Montana cattle.
During the past year the stock in
spectOrs Of Montata, employed by
the state board, procured the arrest
OF IS cattle thieves, of whom ~ were
convicted and IA cases are still pend
ing. The work Of the inspectors
comes In for praise.
The bounty Law is declared to work
satisfactorily and the extinction OF
old claims and accumulation Of a
large balance to pay current claims
Is expected to stimulate hunters and
trappers to exterminnte wolves, as a
cash bounty IL u great incentive.
The board believes there IL little de-
sire on the part OF stockmen for a
change In the law.
The continued increase in the num-
Der OF applications for brands is maxi
ing it more difficult to ind brands
available for record. Applicants are
encouraged to obtain assignments OF
some OF the many brands which have
fallen into dlsuse. but are still record
ed for the original owners, as they
are superior to any new ones.

without any information in the least whatever, for any fool knows that water will start from a person s eyes by peal ing strong onion, and child old enough to talk plain, can say: "Every thing wears out but the mercy of God" But how much information have the taxpayers of the town of Woodbury re- ceived in regard to the durability of state roads. "Everything wears out but the mercy of God" l cannot get these words out of my mind. Who out, and when person employed by the state and paid large salary for his services, avoids such an important question to taXpayefS, I feel like tell ing them to take up the inspired word of God and commence at the first verse and they will only have to read five chapters and five verses before they come to these words: "And it repen- teth the Lord that he'h had made man on the earth and it grieved him at his heart. And the Lord said I will des- troy man whom 1 have created from the face of the earth, for it repenteth me that have made them" L would like to ask any person that says or thinks that Gods mercy never wears out. If Gods mercy didn't wear out i'0 uSs'oiCJ Su S'SAJ ,lue oiAi,S on the earth(only what was in the ark) by water. And then only few chap ters further in the same book of Gene sis we find Gods mercy wearing out again and sending fire and brims tone from heaven on i've wicked cities on the plains. And all through the in- Spired word of God, both in the Old and New Testament is accounts given of Gods mercy being exhausted and judgements from Heaven being sent on account of deceit and iniquity of man. And it is wonder to me that Gods mercy didn't wear out in the 18th cen- tury and consume the legislature that dared pass law that conflicts with the constitution of these United States of America and above all the laws of the Supreme Ruler of the Universe and the Judge of the Earth. don't want to be responsible for the curSing and swearing that was done before spring opened and the state road in Wood bury street was completed, when if the material had been carted right on top of the surface of the road it would have been in a good travelling condition and several wouldn't have had so many sins to answer for because certain sell
 fish ones wanted to play dog and get a
 little meat off from a state aid bone.

AFINE CROP OF TOBACCO.

John H. Duncan has sold his splen- did crop of tobacco to Vincent Sterling. MT Duncan has the reputation of being a careful grower and handler. Some years ago he sold a crop to William Schoverling, and as is the custom of buyers, when he came to settle, the amount of paper used in bundling was deducted from the bill. Later when MT Schoverling came to assort the crop he was so much pleased with the con- ditiOn of the tobacco that he sent MT Duncan check for the paper deducted and also presented him with 100 choice cigars. A stalk of tobacco hanging in MT Duncan's piazza measures six and one-half feet. MT Duncan received 17c, which is the top price for this town.

The day was perfect, the grove was cool and shady, and the rippling brook furnished the music. And those deal of it right in that little spot. But while they were enjoying the scenery the air became savory with the odor of roasting clans, the tables be- gan to groan with the weight of good things placed upon them and in a few moments all sat down and enjoyed one of the very best of dinners.
