BIG OUTFITS MUST GO.
Small Owner Will Supply the Cattle
Market-Season About over.


"The heaviest end of the Montana
cattle run has gone TO market" said
Paul Mccormick. of Billings, who was
in Chicago the other day.
Il do not look for a big October
run nor do think cattle will be mar
keted in better condition later on,
in fact believe the best of them have
come. Montana began shipping early
and has been rushing stock to market
ever since the first consignment was
loaded We have taxed the carrying
capacity of the railroads and there will
doubtless be a diminuition in volume
from this on
As to present conditions Mr., Nc
Cormick says the range is badly spot
ted. From Miles City west 10 Boze-
man there is a deficiency OF moisture;
grass is very dry and in places hop
pers have done considerable damage,
notably in Carbon county. In the
eastern end of the state there is good
grass and water is plentiful
The greater part Of Montana is
suffering from a water shortage,
he said. For three winters past lit.
tie snow has fallen and that Is our
main reliance Too much snow is, OF
course, undesirable, but we are hop
ing for more during the coming win
ter than has fallen recently.
"Our country is pretty well stock
ed, in fact there is fully as much as
the range can safely carry and il
southern cattlemen intend fetching
much stuff north next spring the
only grazing ground open to them Is
over the Canadian border. A large
number went across in first hands
this year and as settlers are crowding
onto Texas pastures more must fol-
low.
Asked if the decline in values Of
range cattle markets had resulted in
much disappointment. he replied
"Of course it has. We had our ideas
up too high before the shipping sea
son began. Afterwards we found that
we had too many cattle OF onc kind 10
ship. But what are we going TO do
about it? That we have seen top
notch prices is my judgment. The
whole country is prosperous now and
all classes are eating meat, Even
slight contraction in the volume OF
business will affect the demand. Corn
belt fed lots are filling mp and sup
plies from that quarter will soon be
liberal. Large numbers Of southern
cattle went onto the northwestern
ranges this year and there is no pros
pect of an early diminution of the
supply from that quarter
As to the future capacity of the
present range country Mr.. Mccormick
is confident that while there will prob.
ably be an intcrrcgnnm of scant sup.
plies. eventually the settlers who are
now forcing big operators out will
raise more stock than is produced
under the present system.
Between the time the settlers
force big outfits TO close out and they
are ready 10 furnish an equal supply
range cattle will be scarce" he said
Several years will be needed by the
settlers To acquire herds, but after
they have done SO there will be nc
dearth. in fact, the range country
from Texas to Montana will supply
more cattle than it ever did. The pro
cess is going on rapidly already, II
is more noticeable in Texas and Mon
tana than anywhere else, but western
South Dakota is experiencing a wave
of homesteading and even in Mon
tana the movement is perceptible."
