CATTLE POURING IN
But Open Range in Montana Is AL,
ready Crowded.
SEASON EBAY NOT BE A GOOD ONE
Relief for the Situation Seen in the
Unsettled Grazing Lands
Across the Line.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal
HaVre, Mont, April 23.-Many southern
cattle are being brought to Montana this
spring and if there is shortage of range
the season will not be a good one for the
caItlemen, as the open range is already
crowded. 1t is estimated that $4,000 head
OF cattle will be brought to Montana from
the southern states this summer. This
will be the heaviest Importation of out
side cattle for years.
l. +. Strobe of Whitelash sold his sheep
stud. consisting of 300 thoroughbred Ram
boulllet rams, tor $40 a head. He has
sold $4,000 head of sheep and will close
out the remainder of his focks, amount
ing to $4,000, to engage in the cattle
business. MIR. Strobe is only one of manyj
sheepmen who are going out of the sheep
business as far as the open range is con-
cerned. The land in this section is being
rapidly picked up by cattle and sheep men.
Inc open range is being annually cur
tailed. 1t is regarded as but question
OF a few years until the range cattle
business will be a thing of the past. In
deed, compared with ten years ago, there
are comparatively few big outfits remain
ing in the state, and those control their
own land. The small rancher is rapidly
taking the place of the big outfits and al
| falfa farming is coming into favor. With
irrigation it is possible to raise from two
10 TOUR crops or alfalfa year on land,
making one acre support what it in the
past has required 100 acres to do. Range
cattlemen allow forty acres for every
steer. but with cultivation the land Will
produce, crops of the best hay in the
| world.
! Great; interest is being taken in north
! ern Montana in the settlement Of the
lands of. western Canada. While the
4 large outfits have not transferred the
scene of their operations. many of the
smaller owners have gone across the
international line in search of lands The
unlimited areas open for settlement in
Canada have attracted the attention OF the
smaller holder of grazing lands and
numerous instances may be cited where
Montana ranchers have gone to Canada TO
locate. To sum up the situation in this
state in nutshell. it may be said that
the country is too crowded and an outlet
must be found The unsettled grazing
lands of Canada furnish a solution to the
problem and many will take advantage OF
| the opportunities they offer.

Leaves Tonight to Escort Unfortu-
nate Vikings East.
w D. Morse, immigration inspector,
starts tonight to take two persons now
in the hospital for the insane at Fergus
Falls to the seaboard for deportation
They are amenable to deportation because
they have become public charges from
causes existing prior to their landing in
America
The aliens are Arvia Ogren. % years Of
age, born in Sweden, who landed in Bos-
ton from Saxonian, Oct "a, 1901, and Axel
Jacobson alias Anders Harmala so years
of age, born in Finland, who landed in
Quebec from the Partisan, April %, 1901.
The inspector is directed to take the
latter to Commissioner Thomas at St.
John, NJ B., for deportation on the Allen
line steamer, Ionian, sailing April 2e; as
he is violent, expenses for an attendant
are allowed. The former alien will be
delivered to the commissioner at Boston
to sail on the Cunarder Ivernia, April 20.
AS the law requires deportation within
a. year it will be seen that Jacobson will
leave only two days before his time ex-
pires. To avoid mistakes, he will be de-
livered first and then Mr.. Morse will take
the other charge to Boston.

BUTTER SHOULD DECLINE
Present Prices Due to Temporary
Shortage Only.

The price OF butter is abnormally high
and has been for the past six weeks in all
the markets of the country The stock
of butter has been practically exhausted
and the markets are depending on eaen
days receipts, with very little accumula-
ton. Last Friday the New York price
was 80 cents. Saturday it declined to 81
cents, and Monday to % cents The very
high prices prevailing naturally check
consumption and force the poorer people
to the use of adulterated butter or sub
stitutes. There is no accumulation OF
stock in any market, says an official of the
MINNEAPOLIS cold storage company, and
while there may be slight shortage
from day to day, the general tendency Of
the market should be downward.
