CATTLE BUSINESS NOT DYING
-. OUT. %.. ., -.. *.

Pioneer Press: Freight officials OF
lines entering the western live stock
country take issue with the reports
from Chicago that the end of the stock
industry in Montana is in sight, and
that agricultural pursuits will soon
drive cattlemen from the field. It was
asserted yesterday by officials familiar
with the stock business, that the year
ly shipments will continue for many
years in the same volume as at pres
ent. =; 5-
ut is undoubtedly true that the days
of cattle kings are over" said Cen
eral Freight Agent Moore of the
Northern Pacific. '"The immense
ranches of former years are being di-
vided, and the tremendous herds have
been depleted by hard winters, the
drain of the great markets and other
factors until the total number of cat
tie in the ranch country is smaller
than it was.
During the past two years stock
business has been undergoing a change.
Smaller ranches have been established
and stockmen are increasing in num-
ber. The output, figured in car ship
ments, will be somewhat smaller this
year than last but it will never become
much lower than at present, because
the owners of the small ranches will
ship approximately the same number
of cattle that have been sent to market
for several years.
''IOwners Of the smaller ranches are
banding together, and shipping their
cattle by train loads. This method
is becoming very popular and super
| cedes the old system where single
| ranchman would market several cars
at once. The only difference now is
that the cattle have more owners.
"The Northern Pacific has contracted

| ing August. Other shipments will
bring the seasons total to about 6,OOC

two or three times he stops buying.
"There are number of people who

also of rats. mice and turtles. Any one
fond Of snakes is sure to be fond Of
those other things too. They keep their
snakes and turtles and rats as near as
possible to them. Often they keep
them in. their bedrooms. There was q
young man who used to come here last
year after pine snakes-a university

A TRUE FISH STORY.
The Peculiar Adventure OF q Wed
ding Ring. -. 90 .


ding Ring. s,-.o
"About th.s queerest fish story I
| know Of" said a highly truthful look
ing man-indeed, he was clergyman
Happened to me at little lake in Wis
| consin, where I used to summer with
my family. One day my wife was out
| In our boat with party of friends.
| She was letting her hand trail in the
water, without thinking about it's
shrinking effect, and when she finally
book her hand in her wedding ring was
gone. The lake was deep at that point,
| and although we made considerable
effort to recover the ring it was not
| found.
Naturally it worried her a good deal,
| and the next year she would not go
back to the same place, nor did we
go the following year, but the third
year we went there again, and one day
was in the woods about mile from
the lake with my boy, tying to get Il
shot at some denizen Of the forest or
other. AS we went peering around
among the trees to get squirrel we
had seen noticed something shining
on twig Of tree about 25 feet from
the ground. sent my boy up after it,
and when he came back was more
than astonished to find that the shining
thing was my wife's wedding ring.
"HoW it ever got there was a mys-
terry at first, but was not believer in
fairies and that sort Of thing, so be.
gan to investigate for material causes.
The top Of the tree had deadened, and
with a suspicion in my mind sent my
boy up to see what signs might be
above the green boughs. He called
down to me presently that there were
remains Of a fshhawk's nest in the
forks of the tree, and, putting this
and that together, I came to the conclu.
sion that the hawk had caught the fish
that had gobbled up my wife's ring in
the lake and had taken it to the nest
for the young hawks. They didn't
care for jewelry and had left that
part Of the fish in the nest, from which,
as the nest was blown to pieces by the
wind and beaten by the storms, the
ring had dropped out and by chance
had caught on the twig where found
it. In any event, If that was not the
way it got there, how did 1t? For It
surely was there, and my wife is wear
ing it today."-Exchange
