Cannot Supply Flour.

BUTTE, Sept. 2O.-Many Of Butte S
merch ants will be surprised to hear
that the Royal Milling company of
Great Falls, has decided to close its
Butte branch, which has been in ex-
istence here since 1894, The company
conducted one of the largest flour and
feed trades in this city. The monthly
sales averaged about 10000 barrels,
but as they were unable to supply
their trade with the amount of flour
necessary, the mem bers Of the firm de-
cided to close down.
The scarcity of wheat in Montana is
the real reason for going out of busi-
ness here, as it was found Improbable
to handle wheat from out of this state.
The branch stores at Helena, Anacon-
da aud Spokane have also been abol-
ished and the only one they will con-
tinue to operate is at Seattle.

Every bit of country for many miles

nized, but no trace of the man could
be found.
1t was at one time thought that the
man had killed himself, but this theory
has been abandoned for the reason
that his body could not be found.
Then the theory was advanced that he
might have fallen into the river and
been drowned. This has also been
declared untenabIe, for the river las

country adjacent.
1t is now generally believed that for

FIRST BEEF FROM MONTANA.
Disagree AS to Date of First
Shipment to Market.

Several local stockmen were recent
ly discussing the question as to when
Montana beef was first shipped to out
side markets and referred the m after
to the River Press, but no definite in
form alton could be obtained at th at
time. 1t appears that H. H. Sapping-
ton, of Gallatin county, claims that
the first beef shipment ever made from
Montana went from that part of the
state. In newspaper interview
printed some time ago he is quoted to
this effect:
"The first cattle taken from what is
now Montana to the eastern market
was in 1873. A man by the name Of
Forbes, who had settled near where
Sappington station now is, drove a
bunch to Ogden and shipped to Chi
cago. The next year I drove bunch
of 500 head for Poindexter & Orr to
Cheyenne. | left Dillon on the 2lst
day of April and on the 18th day Of
July arrived at Laramie. On the 17th
day of July we moved the cattle to
Horse Greek and stayed there till
October, when We shipped to Chicago
from Cheyenne. I went with the cattle
to Chicago and they netted S46 per
head. They sold at S4.20 and were
tour, five and six years DID,"
Mr.. Sappington, however, must
have been misinformed in the m natter,
for D. j. Hogan, of Augusta, claims
to have made drive Of Montana a
beef to an outside market seven years
previous to the Gallatin county trans.
action. Mr.. Hogan says he made a
beef drive ont Of the territory for
Orenstein 4 Pepper, of Salt Lake
City, in October, 1868. The cattle
were purchased from P. Largey by the
above firm, which was filling beef con-
tracts along the Union Pacific rail-
road. Another drive of Montana beef
was made later in the season by Jerry
Mann and sold to a Utah contracto
The Montana beef shipment sent east
by Mr.. Forbes in 1878 consisted OF
cattle purchased from Con Kohrs, in
the san River country, and two or
three years later MIR. Kohrs made a
drive on his own account to Cheyenne,
and shipped from that point to the
Chicago market.
The Montana cattle industry dates
back to the summer of 1862, when a
large influx of gold seekers established
good local markeGs for beef. Severa,
| herds were brought in from Utah anG
other southern points, and in January,
| 1865, the territorial legislature passed
an ''act concerning marks and brands
at the request of those engaged in the
business.
A beef drive in early days was {
risky undertaking. The nearest rail
road point was Granger, on the Unior
Pacific, its distance from Sun river
being $50 miles. Another shipping
point was Pine Bluff, on the Unior
Pacific, which was 700 miles from thu
Sun River range. The extension O
the Northern Pacific to Montana il
the early eighties provided better ia
cilities for shipping beef to the east

Montana shipments were driven tt

The mystery surrounding the dis

nyside ranchman. was solved yester-
day by the discovery of his dead body
in Sun river. He left his home on
September II on a short hunting trip,
and it is supposed he was drowned
while trying to wade across the river.
Searching parties have been looking
for him ever since he was reported
missing, but until yesterday no trace
of him could be found.
1t is reported from Helena that pro.
tests have been made to the state
board Of health against the proposed
pollution of Milk river by the new
sewerage system at Havre, for which
a contract was let few days ago.
