A dispatch says that owing to back
ward weather, the woolgrowers in and
about Miles City will not begin shear
ing until May 20. w. E. Harris of
Custer county. however, has completed
shearing about 80, 900 head by machin-
cry.
A report says that not less than 5O,-
600 pelts have been shipped from
Terry, Fallon and Glendive since
spring opened, all of which were
taken from sheep that persisted during
the cold weather which prevailed in
that section January and February.
Rosebaum Brothers of Chicago, have
brought suit against the Ryan Broth
ers Cattle company to recover debt of
$26, 2e6.65. The property attached
is said to amount to IL 200 cattle. 1000
horses and large tracts of land. The
First National bank of Leavenworth,
Kansas, has also sued for Sis, 900.
BY order of w. A. Richards, COM
missioner of the general land Office at
Washington, more than 5O,O 900 acres of
the finest timber land in Montana has
been withdrawn from entry. It is
located on the edge of Lewis and
Clarke forest reserve, and it is pre-
sumed that it is to be made part of it.
In recent decision on an appeal
from the Helena land Office the secrc-
tary of the interior has held that it
must be conclusively proven that one
eighth OF the land in desert entry has
been cultivated before final proof can
be completed. The decision is an i'm
portant one to many Montana claim
ants.
From a gentleman who has been in
close touch with some of the men con-
nected with the irrigation bureau of the
department of the interior the Billings
Gazette learned few days ago that
in all probability the government
would soon undertake something in
the way of extensive irrigation pro-
jects in the Yellowstone valley. AS
related by him the proposition is to
take bitches from the Yellowstone and
reclaim the region between the present
terminal of the canals already con-
structed and the mouth of the river.

LOSS WILL BE GREAT.
Southern Sheep Dying by Humid
reds With "Big Head"

According to the Salt Lake Herald,
the condition of the sheep industry in
some parts of Utah, Idaho and eastern
Nevada may we'll cause alarm among
the fockmasters. The deadly disease
known as osteosarcona, r"big head, "
has made its appearance among the
animals, and the result is that they are
dying by hundreds, in some cases by
thousands. Coming, as it does, on the
heels of particularly hard, cold win
tel, the outlook for the sheepmen is
decidedly discouraging.
''Big head" is malady that, fortu-
nately, does not make it's appearance
very often. AS its scientific name indi-
Gates, it is lumpy, humorous growth
which appears about the head and
neck of the afflicted animal, spreading
down into the legs and eventually run
ming into necrosis, with results that
are invariably fatal. BY some authori-
ties the disease is said to be highly
contagious, while others contend that
it cannot be communicated from one
sheep to another. We are told that
healthy sheep are not SO likely to be
attacked as those that are not healthy.
1t is said to be an outgrowth of i'm
poverished blood, and that accounts
for its appearance in these regions at
this time.

At the time he received his informa.
ton matters were still in an embryonic
condition, but it was believed that they
would assume tangibility in the near
future.
Wyoming dispatch: Special Forest
Superintendent A. A. Anderson has
been directed by the general land Office
to issue permits for sheep grazing on
the lands recently added tothe Yellow.
stone forest reserve and to determine
how many sheep may enter. Stock
permitted to Craze will be confined to
that recently ranged on the lands in
question and stock owners from other
states will not be given permits.
The Yellowstone Journal says it
was learned from source which may
be considered authoritative, yesterday,
that the shipments of cattle from the
Panhandle country this spring will be
very extensive and most of the stock
will be thrown over to the north side of
Yellowstone, ranging in Rosebud,
Custer, Dawson and Valley counties.
Pierre Wibaux, Conrad Kohrs and the
KIT were among those mentioned as
big importers and the KIT it was
said will bring in 10000 head.
Thousands of pelts of sheep that per.
ished from exposure or died from d.
sease during the winter are now being
brought into the railroad towns along
the Great Northern from the ranches,
and many hides of cattle are also being
received. At Glasgow, over 10000
sheep pelts have been received in the
last few days, and at Malta there is
also great stock and plant is in op-
Grafton there, to pull the wool from the
pelts. Government experts estimate
that 643, 126 sheep died in Montana in
the past year, and the pelts of probably
half of these will be marketed at Great
Northern stations.

viii Take No More Chances.

Since the first settlement of the coun-
ty, stockmen in Dawson have run their
stock without any provisions for winter
save what hay could be cut upon the
open range. The severe winter through
which the stockmen of that section have
just passed has demonstrated such a
system to be dangerous and in the
future they will devote more of their
attention to growing hay for winter
use.

Those attacked by itsuccumb within
few hours. The veterinarians who
consider it contagious would seem to
have the better of the argument, for the
reason that there are few instances
where, unless diligent precautionary
measures were taken, only small per-
centage of the focks in which the di-
sease gets a foothold die.

RANGE WAR POSSIBLE.
Carbon County Cattle Men Warn
Wool Growers to Respect Lines.


Wool Growers to Respect Lines.
The lines daily are being drawn
closes between !cattlemen and sheep
men of eastern Montana, and Carbon
county especially is at present the
scene of operations, which will either
result in a peaceful and satisfactory
settlement of the differences existing or
will precipitate a range war. .
Two weeks ago the cattlemen pre-
empted a 12-mile stretch of range coun-
try between Shane's ridge and Silesia.
Last week, it is announced, that a like
association has been formed in the
western part of the county.
A notice has been issued to sheep
men as follows:
"The representative cattlemen of
the vicinity of Absarokee respectfully
ask that you keep sheep outside the
lines of the following described range
after May /, 1908:
Commencing at East Rosebud creek
on the south side Of what is known as
odd Agency ranch from there in a
direct line to the north line of what is
known as the Cruel school section,
from there in direct line to the head
of Shane creek joining the Joliet Stock
association line, from there to the Vel
lowstone, up the Yellowstone to Still
water to East Rosebud, thence up East
Rosebud to the place of beginning"
This is signed by "The New Cattle
mems association of the Saltwater"
The opinion seems to prevail that
a fair division of the range will re-
suit.

1t says that New York and Chicago f1nanciers
are annalgamating the mines into a TRUST.
Mining experts made an exhaustive survey
of the mines early in the year, and also
examined the unworked deposits with re-
suits satisfactory to their American en-
pioyers.
1t has often been said that enormous
royalties caused the decline in the Corn
wall mining industry. but prominent
mine manager says that this is not the case.
He adds that he ia not at liberty 10 give
details, but that trust is being formed by
American fnanciers who are determined
To exploit the mines. Tie ground has been
completely covered by their surveyors,
and it is expected that within year the

He'd Never Die, but FAN Killed Him.

Special Gable Despatch TO THE SUN
LONDON. Dec. l9.-Daniel Milton, once
New England shipwright. who claimed a
divine commission as the spiritual adviser
OF the sect Of Christian lsraelites founded by
Joanna Southcott, died on Thursday in the
village of Wrenthorpe. near Wakefield, at
the age Of 3c.
Milton. after being made judge by the
Christian Israeltes OF New York, announced
himself as the long expected Shiloh "a
word used by Jacob on his deathbed and
interpreted variously as "the Messiah or
as the city Of Shiloh or as Rest-N ebster.l
He arrived penniless in 1900 at the door OF
Israels Temple, otherwise Melbourne
House, Wrenthorpe. He informed Mr..
Wroe, the head of the Christian lsraelite
Church, that he had come to assume his in
heritance. He was foiled and returned to
America.
Wroe died in 1863 and Milton again at
tempted to establish his claim. but failed
after long litigation. Nevertheless. he
lived in the village confident to his dying
day that he would eventually occupy
Melbourne House. The gates to the grounds
were always kept locked, otherwise Milton
would have often gone inside. He was
frequently seen to carry step ladder from
the cottage to the walls Of the Mansion IN
order to e lze on his Mecca.
Few persons have ever made greater
sacrifices for belief. He exchanged a wife
and family and a comfortable home in
America to live in solitude and semi-desti-
tuition in a two room cottage, which was
strangely stocked and furnished. over
the mantelpece in large type was this in
scription: Jeans and Joanna, my two

Milton declared that he never would die,
but a neighbor who had not seen the Judge
for a couple of days peered through crew
ice of the paper-covered window on Wednes-
day and saw him lying semi-conscious at
the bott ON OF the stairs with wound in his
head, from which. he died the next day
Joanna Southcctt was born in Devon
shire, England in 1850. and while a servant
at Exeter in 1879 joined the Metaodll 7
