NO CHANCES IN CANADA

Over the Outlook at

Fort Benton, Sept. 4.-Speaking of the
new Canadian stock range business, a
prominent Stockman says:
There are as many things to be said
against the idea. AS for it, l know that
the feed is better and the range is not
Well stocked yet.
las the Fur company owns about a
third of the land and the Canadian Paci-
tic railroad third, and the Dominion
government about third and all are
anxious to sell or lease, it is an easy
matter to get hold of land, but there are
some other things to be taken into con-
sheraton.
In the first place. there is very little
shelter, that is, natural shelter, for the
country is very level. OF course, being
so much further north it is considerably
colder, and Mon, ana is cold enough for
the average steer. But the most import
ant point is the market.
The Winnipeg market is always from
IS to $40 ahead on beef steers lower
than Chicago. This is big item. The
only alternative is to ship to Chicago and
pay the high duty or to export.
Neither one has proved satisfactory in
the past, and so the big outfits have been
selling to buyers by the head. This year
the circle outfit will try the Winnipeg
market as an experiment.
while think there may be money in
the Canadian business at present, l am
sure that there will never be the same
opportunity as Montana has offered

DR.. Law had been at different times
the possessor of several fortunes. Once
he had 100000. Again II was half
that sum. Still later he has had lesser
amounts and often hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars seemingly within his
grasp. He is a promoter and specu-
lator, and even in his old age and ad-
versity he has not lost the hopefulness
and courage of the type. Tom L. john
son, mayor of Cleveland. is one of his
intimate friends. He knew the late
Henry George well. and at the funeral
of the single-tax leader acted as pail
bearer. During the hard campaign which
preceded Mr.. Georges death DR.. Law
spoke constantly on the stump.
Gold mining has been the bane of DR..
Laws life. The craze seized him when
he was a young physician and caused
him to abandon his profession. Even
now, in Jail. he dreams of other for
tunes and thinks he may yet return to
his Old haunts of the Waldorf Astoria.
The Golden Scepter mine was the old
mans Waterloo. He f1oatetl it in Will
mington, Del, through Z. H. Emmons,
an attorney there. DR.. Law secured an
option on the property in Colorado, and
sold it to company organized by En-
mons. Professor Sadler of Boulder, Colo,
and other experts are said to have re-
ported favorably upon the property, and
1-00O,O00 shares of stock of SIS each, par
value, were issued. The stock at one
time sold at $3.50 a share. DR.. Law
wanted some ready money to invest, and
so sold some of his stock to Mrs. Wall
ling. She was so sanguine of success
that it was comparatively easy to in
duce her relatives to invest with her. 1t
is said Law agreed to redeem the stock
if the mine proved to be a failure. 1t
seems to have turned out that way, for
