Especial to Inter Mountain.)

Billings, July 29.-Robert Pettigrew
superintendent of the Rocky Fork Coal
company, who was in the city yesterday,
said that the company is expending a
considerable amount of money this sum-
mer in constructing a plant for washing
the refuse Goa! which comes from the
mines. SO that out of 800 tons of refuse
coal and dirt which comes out of the
mine daily the company expects to save
$50 tons OF understandable product.
Heretofore the whole of this refuse has
been dumped into Rock Creek, and car
ried down stream, so that one of the
most beautiful streams in the state which
was formerly full of trout, has been al
most destroyed for the angler.
But the greatest complaint came from
the farmers. who take their water for
irrigation and domestce purposes from
Rock Greek, who said their land was
ruined by the deposit Of coal slack dur
ing the irrigating season.
To remedy this state of affairs an act
was passed at the last session of the
legislature providing a penalty for each
effense of not less than 5000 and not
operating a coal mine on the banks of
any stream, who dumped any coal slack
or screenings into such stream.
The law Will go into operation Nov. /.
1t was a serious proposition for the coal
company to dispose of the immense
quantity Of refuse which came from the
workings. but the management is max
ing an effort to comply with the law. and
will endeavor to recoup the company
for the expense by turning out product
which will have a merchantable value.
1t is the opinion Of many Of the most
expert fishermen that while the coal
slack had a bad effect on the fish, much
more destruction was wrought by the
farmers not having their headgates pro-
tected by screens While taking water
out of Rock Creek into their irrigation
bitches.
The fish follow down the bitches. and
when the water recedes are left high
and dry on the alfalfa fields.

SHEEP DRIVEN AWAY AT NIGHT
Ranchmen on the Upper Tongue River
Determined to Discourage
Rivals

Forsyth. July 27.-William Wolff,
sheep man who has been ranging his
sheep on the upper Tongue river, has
been having all sorts of trouble of late
With ranchers in that neighborhood.
Wolff was recently defendant in
damage suit brought by W. C. McDow-
ell for ranging his sheep on McDowells
land, and the latter was given a judg
ment against him for 500 or 800
He has since been ranging his band
elsewhere, but like the Wandering Jew,
has been compelled to move on, forever
seeking new pastures.
Last week Wolff had his sheep on Lis
com creek, and their presence aroused
the Indignation Of some of the ranchers
in that section.
His herders We're notified to move on
several times, but either obeying in
structions from their employer, or be-
lieving they had a right to the range,
they paid no attention to the admonition
to get out.
One night during the latter part of the
week VOLTS sheep We're moved by ul.-
known persons The moving Of the flock
was informal and disastrous to the
sheep.
Late in the night as the sheep We're at
rest, and the herder lying on his blanket
indulging in reminiscent Thoughts over
his last trip to town, the camp was
startled by a stampede of horses maxi
ing straight for the herd.
The animals were driven by mounted
men and dashed through the frightened
and bewildered sheep, killing ana wound
ing many of thin and scat-el ing the rest
to the four winds.
It was a vigorous and expensive notice
to quat the country, but proved ineffec-
tive.
The following day the scattered sheep
were rounded up but the harders made
no move to drive their sheep elsewhere
and the performance was repeated the
following night with equally disastrous
results.
Who the men We're is not reported nor
Is the loss to Wolff stated. 1t is believed
the instigators of the stampede will new
er be known, as such affairs are usually
arranged carefully

RAILROAD MEN ARE ANXIOUS
Representatives Of Various Lines APP
pear Before the state Board Of
Equalization.

Especial to Inter Mountain)
Helena, July 2s.-The state board of
equalization today heard arguments
from representatives of the railroads on
the assessment of the roadbed.
q. s. Fernald, Northern Pacific: r. A.
Wilkinson. Great Northern: T. f. Brady
Great Falls & Canada, and j. b. Evans
Oregon Short Line, all argued for no
change in the assessment of last year.
They claimed the board existed only
for the purpose of eQualizing assess
ments and as the valuation of other
property was reduced. it should let we'll
eonugh alone.
While the total valuation is higher.
that is not due to an increase in the
valuation of the property. but to the in
creased number of cattle, sheep and
other property. In the last 10 years
rates of valuation on other property in
creased As per cent. while ON railroads
the inceast was 105 per cent.
Mr.. Brady denied that his road had
been sold to the Great Northern. saying
the transfer will not take place for q
year.
w. H. Tuohy. for the Butte. Anao onda
& Pacific, asked the board to take into
consideration the fact that the road was
but an auxiliary to a mining plant. and
asked that the assessment be left as las
year. though he considered that high.
Three petitions from Broadwater coun-
ty We're presented, urging an advance IN
the ground that railroads should be as
sessed on their valuation as shown by
the stock market. They maintained
$3.O0O,0O0 had been kept from the state
treasury by low valuation on railroads
l. Parker Vezey as representative of
the state. asked the board to consider
this an inauspcious time to raise the
assessment on railroads, as it might
have tendency to frighten away roads
now headed towards Montana and pre-
vent the building of branches by roads
now in the state.
r. D. Pallard. Big Horn Southern, a
branch of the Burlington. was heard this
afternoon on the same lines as the Other
roads.
A petition from number Of county
assessors will be presented asking that
the assessment be raised somewhere near
the market value Of the stocks and bonds
of the roads.
