The Originator OF Range Horse Sales
Billings. Mont, Oct. Io.,4, 1908.
Two Good Ends and a Middle

The above are the requirements for
a flrst-class draught horse; they are
also the requirements for a first-class
range horse sale. First. II is neces-
sary to have a large supply Of good
horses. Second: II is necessary to
have plenty of good buyers from
every section of the country. In the
third place ii is equally necessary to
know how to conduct the sale. My
many sales during the past years
have proven that | have all of these
requirements ut every sale.
| have never yet advertised a sale
and failed to have plenty of buyers
Tor all the horses that were there. ]
have just completed a sale at Sheri-
dan, Wyoming, at which prices for
horses were higher than they have
ever been at my former sales. and /
believe higher than anyone has ever
sold horses for on the range.
Conditions are most favorable for
the sale of these horses in every sec
ton of the country. Canada and all
the northwest country contains good
buyers for all horses suitable for their
trade. Nebraska, Iowa and Missouri
have abundant crops and farmers are
all anxious for horses At to feed out
for spring trade. The demand in the
east for horses ready for service is
equally good. and the demand for
small horses in the south, where cot.
ton is selling for from ten to twelve
cents a pound. where In former years
Il has sold for four and four and q
half, is unusually strong.
| am confident that this sale at
billings will be one Of the best sales
that | have EVER made and that you
will not have a better opportunity to
sell your horses. Remember the date
and get our horses ready as Don as
possible.

1t is an evidence of a small mind
to criticise the generous hospitality
of President and Mrs. Roosevelt be-
cause 1t causes slight increase in
White House expenditures. The
greater part of the burden comes
from the Presidents pocket. He is
