REDUCING THEIR HOLDINGS.
Idaho sheepmen Selling FIocks Be
cause Of Poor Winter Feed.

Notwithstanding the drouth and the
consequent poor condition of the
range, as near as can be learned there
will be no very appreciable reduction
in the number of sheep to be carried
over in the state this winter. lsO-
lated cases may exist where there
has been some close cutting, but they
are not numerous Alfalfa and other
hay grown by irrigation is plentiful
and no apprehension is felt as regards
the ability of the fockmasters to
care for their holdings.
The same may not be said, however,
of some of the other western states
where sheep raising has assumed the
| proportions of an industry. In Idaho,
for instance, the shipments to the mar
ket this fall have been exceptionally
heavy and it is estimated that the
number of sheep to be wintered will
not be more than SO per cent of those
carried over during the ordinary sea
sons. Some heavy losses e sus-
tained in the spring and the prospects
for winter range are SO poor that many
of the sheepmen regard it as almost
amounting to folly to attempt to keep
their f1ocks.
This was learned a few days ago
from an Idaho man, who passed
through the city on his way home
from the eastern market. "Of recent
years." he said 'the ranges have at.
forded very little winter feed and we
have become dependent upon the al

AS long a. he was content with
simply declaring himself to be a re,
incarnation of a prophet of excellent
memory the people cared little for
Dowie's pretenses, but when he be-
lieved himself powerful and rich
enough to deny his father and hint
in a vague manner at descent from
royalty he aroused their ire and con
tempt. 1t is now shown that he is q
liar in regard to his paternity as well
as in regard to his third resumption
OF the flesh. His father resides at
Essex. Ia, and the p~retender banished
him from Zion four years ago because
the sturdy old Scot refused to change
his former beliefs and would not en-.
dorse the %charlatanry of. the son. Old
man Dowie is a strict member of the
Presbyterian church and believes all
it teaches.

Although it may not be said that
the opinion expressed in one news
paper is equivalent to a revolution
and an army of men in the field seek
ing to overthrow the recognized gov
eminent, still it must be accepted as
expressive of a sentiment more far
extending in. it's sphere than that OF
a single individual. The Halifax Chron-
icle's declaration that the existing
relations between the dominion and
England cannot be continued much
longer only tends to show the feel
ing prevailing across the border. The
editor who wrote that probably knew
that he was not going very much
contrary to the opinion and wishes
of the people and felt confident that
he had their backing. He may have
exaggerated a trife when he declared
that even now the parting OF the ways
has come, but for all that it must be
admitted that the feeling of loyalty
which prompted the Canadians into
furnishing troops for the assistance OF
England in it's var with the Beers
is not now at so high a stage as it
then was.

SUES NORTHERN PACIFIC,
.syers Wants Damages for Horses In
iured In Tranalt..

5yers Wants Damages for Horses In.
Jured In Translt.
Through his attorney, J. r. Goss,
Henry Byers of Cooley City, Utah, is
ssuing the Northern Pacific Railway
company for the recovery of damages
alleged to have been sustained by him
through the carelessness of the de-
PENDANTS agents and servants.
In his complaint the plaintiff
charges that September /, 1903, the
defendant vas engaged in the bust
s of a common carrier of chattels
for hire from the town of Cooley City
to Winnipeg junction and st. Paul,
both in the state of Minnesota, and
that on that date it received from
him for shipment three cars Of colts
and horses, numbering in all IS ami
mails, which in consideration OF a
sun agreed upon it contracted to
deliver at Winnipeg Junction and st.
Paul. In one car there were 80 horses
and colts and in the remaining two
and horses, numbering in all 1O1 AMI
mails, it seems reached Helena in safe
ty, September 5, On which date the
event occurred that is responsible for
the suit instituted by Byers against
the company.
AS charged by plaintiff, on the last
mentioned date, while the animals
were in transit and in the care and
custody of the company some of its
servants and agents carelessly and
negligently and without PLAINTIFF s
fault caused one of it's trains to run
into that on board Of which were
plaintiffs horses. BY reason of such
carelessness and its attendant results
72 of the horses and colts were in
jured by hurts, cuts and sprains, caus-
ing plaintiff to be damaged in the sum
Of $1,700. In addition he alleges he
was compelled to remain at Helena
for a period of three days, during
which time he cared for the injured
animals, and even after that, at differ
ent times and stations between Helena
and the two terminal points named
he was Obliged to expend the sum OF
1915 for the car of the animals.
On his showing of facts he de-
mands judgment in two separate
amounts, $1,7OO for actual damage to
the horses and $275 for reimbursement
for money expended in caring for the
animals after they had been injured.

THE BEST.
Native Cattle Superior to Those from
Southwest.

southwest.
1--WE are breeding cattle both ex-
tensively and successfully in Mon
tana," said Wallace Coburn, secretary
of the Coburn Cattle company of NAL
ia, to the Live Stock News. Last
winter we carried $500 calves through
successfully. They winter we'll on
hay and are decidedly superior in
constitution to southern cattle. So
far we have not matured them in
sufficient numbers to make straight
shipments, but the native Montana
cattle of the future will be popular
in buying circles.
THE southern steer taken north
improves rapidly, putting on a frame
he could have secured ON his
native breeding grounds. Our calves
begin their growth the day they are
born. AS four-year-old steers you can
pick them out of a bunch of northern
matured Texans without trouble. We
intend to breed more extensively
every year and buy fewer southerns.
"It has been claimed that Montana
is in too high latitude to breed sue
cessfully and would always nave to de-
pend upon the southwest for it's young
cattle to fill it's pastures. This is
erroneous. I venture the assertion
that a few years hence but few Texas
cattle will go northward. The small
ranchman is breeding all over the
range and as the big outfits disappear,
as they must where they have made
no plan to hold their range, the slak
premacy of the native steer will bex
questioned. We are banking on IN
and I do not believe our c%onfidenM
is misplaced"

members Of which recognize no power
higher than the church. In making
the latter part of her assertion she
gets at the root of the real objection
to the seating of Smoot. It is the ar
gument made against him by those
who are opposing him on patriotic
grounds, rather than because of any
differences of religious opinion. While
he may as senator swear allegiance
to the government, he is bound by
another oath that he regards as more
binding and holier, the oathsby which
he became a member and officer OF
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter
Day Saints. Should it come to the
matter of deciding to which he would
give heed it would not be difficult to
guess on which side Mr. Smoot would
be found.

STILL MORE ANTAeoNIsM..

Another powerful element has been
added to the opposition to President
Roosevelt and may be looked to as
giving the benefit of it's strength and
influence to those who are opposing
his election. Secretary Moody has
invited the hostility of the steel trust
by awarding a contract to the Mid
vale Steel company for furnishing
one-third of the armor plates needed
in the construction of the new battle
ships. The company submitted the
lowest bid and under ordinary condi-
lions would have been given the en-
tire contract, but it will have to erect
a plant for the manufacture of the
plate and secure other patents equal
to those covered by the Krupp grants
to do the work and have it's product
accepted. Because of the condition
of uncertainty surrounding the new
company's offer, the secretary con
cluded to give the Bethlehem and
Carnegie works each one-third, but
this does not satisfy the steel trust,
it wanted all, and both works being
controlled by it, neither n bid
against the other. Now another ar
NOR plate factory is assured, one not
in the trust, and the feat of holding
up the government will probably be
possible not much longer and the
United States will not be compelled
to submit to the humility of having
to pay more for it's armor plate made
at home that a foreign government
deriving its supply from the same
source.

WHY JUSTICE MIscARRlEs.

While the newspapers and some of
the citizens of Butte are demanding
swifter and severer punishment of the
"gun'' men whose freshness with the
revolver contributes materially to the
mortuary list of the camp, others
of its citizens are energetic in their
efforts to secure a remission of the
modicum of punishment now and then
melted out to some of the cutthroats
forming that small proportion who are
-gether. Just at present a large num-
Der whose names usually appear in
the newspapers as prominent" are
lending themselves to a move having
for it's object the pardon of a fellow
who in a moment of playfulness killed
a man. For this he was tried three
times. The first time an unfeeling
jury said he should be hanged. A tech
nicality made an appeal possible. At
the second trial he was sentenced to
life Imprisonment. Again an appeal
followed and again a reversal of the
verdict. On the third trial the fellow
was sentenced to four years imprison-
ment. He has now served about a
Butte think he has been punished
enough and they ask the governor to
turn him loose.
Emphasis is given the fact that
among those who are p%etitioning the
governor for the fellows release are
some of the jurors who convicted
him and this is made the most of.
This, however, should have little influ-
ence with the governor or the pardon
ing board. BY attaching their sig
natures to the petition they show
themselves to be unreliable, and only
Indifferent citizens. They either
wronged the man when they voted
for his conviction, or they are now
trying to wrong the state by asking
that a man whom they considered
as deserving of punishment be given
his liberty. 1t is true that the muir.
dered man is deal and will continue
dead, as much whether his slayer re.
mains in prison or is %pardoned, and
those joining in the movement for
the murderer's release probably argue
that it will make no difference anyhow,
but the fact remains that to unbiased
persons it looks very much as though
the talk heard at Butte about the
necessity of adequately Furnishing
violators of the law is for effect only
and should not be taken too seriously,
especially when applied to the case
of murderers.

garding the sick man who was put off
at that town The card from State

was not DISCHARGED when ill. He asked
for transr u cation = Ncwberry and

We are very glad to reproduce in an
other column the card from State Treas
urer Jennings. The article in The
Herald and News giving the sick mans
statements gave those statements eX-
actly as they were made, and the article
was printed in order to give the Colum-
bia hospital an poltunity to set itself
straight in the matter. We could not
believe the statements when they were
made but we thought at the time that
it would be doing the Columbia people
tunity to make reply, inasmuch as the
statements bad been generally circu-
lated in this city, and we still think so.
We made no statement in the matter
except that the people Of Newbelty re-
fused to believe that in this civilized age
such treatment would be accol led by
any hospital anywhere. The people of
Newberry were convinced that as soon
as the mans charges were brought to
the att ,ntion Of the hospital author ties
the matter would be cleared up, and it
is with plcasure that they have lca' med
the truth in the case.
