According TO the nter-Mountain
the cattle growers of Montana will
soon have a good market on the Pa
Cifc coast as well as in the east and
attributes tie apparent falling OFF in
shipments 10 the east this season to
the fact that considerable beef found
a market to the west. The Inter
Mountain says: "A few years ago
cattlemen in Montana never gave the
coast market a thought. Today more
beef from the ranges of this state
goes over the block in Seattle and
other coast shops than in any other
market in the country. The tide Of
trade is setting strongly towards the
west to the great benefit of Montana
markets. The pronounced falling off
in shipments of Montana beef to east
ern markets is not so much because
of a beef famine in the ranges of the
northwest as of the fact that choice
shipments are seeking a market at
coast points. The change in the ten
dency Of cattle shipments is marked
and permanent and entirely satisfac,
tory" No doubt this demand vas
largely supplied from points west Of
the main range of the Rockies and
was not p~erceptible in the centre nj
the stock region. But even if the
demand was small it shows what it
is soon to become. While 1t may
always be more advantageous to the
s.ctkmen of eastern Montana 20 ship
east they will go where they can get
the best prices with fair treatment
by the railroads as regards rates.
But one a for a falling OFF in
shipments this year Is the excellent
condition of the range and the cum
ulation of hay from last winters
mildness. Even fancy prices will
not induce some stockmen to ship
SIGNATURE beef. They prefer to wait
until they have reached the proper
age and weight.

an may choose to do. On this point
he says: III the Democratic party
should return to Clevelandism.
there Will doubtless be three tickets
in the field in 1904, for no Populist
will accept Mr. Cley Gland or anyone
holding his political views as a can
didate for the presidency. The Pop
ulist party is as well solidiled and as
completely organized as the Demo
cratic or Republican party, and no
doubt it will continue so in thefu-
ture."
That Mr.. Allen ovoreatimates the
strength OF the Populist party few
will doubt. That there may be
enough to compose a respectable re-
volt against the Cleveland brand OF
Democracy aided by the remnants of
Bryan's following is undoubtedly
true. However, If Mr.. Bryan, whom
many consider a Populist at heart,
should stand by that party he would
strengthen it numerically and insure
a number of western states to the
Republicans, even some Of the min
ing states. The outcome of the
strife between the allied forces Of
disorder and discomfort will be worth
watching.

This may be true in New Mexico
where it is an easy mater to raise
three crops a year of alfalfa. Two
crops raj be raised in Montana but
the season is hardly long enough for
three even with abundant water.
In some exceptional years the third
growth would make fair pasturage.
