All Except Great Northern Road Give
Return Passes.
With the exception of the Great
Northern, all the railroads from Mon
tana points to Chicago have fallen
into line and revoked the order de-
nying free return transportation to
shippers of livestock to the eastern
market. Although still holding off, it
is expected that the remaining road
will speedily give notice that it will
do as the others have done.
The St. Paul Chicago lines were the
first to give notice of revocation, and
now the Northern Pacific is out with
a notice to the same effect, contained
in the following message received at
the general agents Office at Helena
Wednesday,:
EFFECTIVE at once and to govern
until definite instructions, we
shall return to rules in effect prior to
January l, last, regarding the issuance
of return transportation for parties
accompanying livestock shipments.
Republication of rules and stock con-
tract forms will be made in the near
Incorporating restrictions
which shall probably be adopted dur
ing this month";"

Northern Montana Cattle Losses No.
Above Average.

Northern Montana Cattle Losses No:
Above Average.
Accepting as true the reports now
being received from the northern
ranges, the losses Of cattle during the
winter we're much less there than the
public has been led to believe by
statements published earlier in the
season. Men who profess to know
whereof they speak say that outside
of exceptional instances the losses
have been below those sustained last
year and that stockmen are not worry
ing to any great extent.
Men from Teton, Valley and Chou
teau counties who have been riding
over the ranges claim that cattle win
tered extremely we'll, considering ev-
erything, except in a few cases re.
ported on the Marias and Teton
ranges, where because of the deep
snow considerable loss occurred. But
even there, it is said, no warrant ex-
listed for the sensational stories sent
out.
Across the line pretty much the
same conditions are reported. Instead
of having about all died as was said
to have been the case of the southern
cattle put in there last fall surprising
ly few succumbed. In some herds the
mortality was not to exceed one-fourth
of mi per cent, certainly a remark
able showing.

present location of the city dump.
They also protested against the dump
ing of any more dead animals or
other offensive matter on lands own
ed by them and prayed that the coun-
Gil select a new site for a dump, where
the prevailing winds will not carry the
stencil over the city.
The matter vas referred to the
committee on streets and sidewalks.
Miscellaneous.
Moss & Rowley and w. B. George
and the lessees of the buildings own
ed by the parties named asked per-
mission of the council to construct a
cement crossing between the North
ern and the George block, across
North Twenty-eighth street, the same
to be done at their expense. If the
petition is granted the city is to
have supervision of construction. Re
ferred.
Christian Yegen asked for the ex-
tension of the water main in Thirty.
fifth street, from First to Fourth ave.
nues, south. Favorable reoprt hav-
ing been made, the petition was grant
ed and the extension prayed for Or
dered.
On motion OF Alderman Williams,
seconded by Alderman Bennington,
the clerk was instructed to advertise
for proposals for constructing &C.
ment crossings in several streets.
The Times was awarded the city
printing for the ensuing year, at stat
utory rates. Only one bid was SUBJ
mitted.
The April reports of the different
city officers were received and refer
red to the respective committees.

in the customary manner.
New Trial Denied.
So far as the district court is con-
cerned the Northern Pacific Railway
company apparently is without fur
Their in the case in which it
finds itself defending a claim for per-
sonal damages prosecuted by John
Smith. The company's motion for a
new trial has been denied by Judge
Loud and the only remedy now lies
in an appeal.
This action has become almost his
toric because of the length Of time
that has elapsed since it's institution
and the stubborn manner in which
it has been contested. 1t was tried
the first time at one of the later terms
of the court for 1902 and was brought
by Smith to recover 1880 in payment
of injuries he claimed to have sustain
ed by being elected from a train of
the company.
Smith had been working on the sec
ton near Huntley and wanted to
to Billings. He had an en-
ploye's pass and rendered it to the
conductor of the North Coast Limited,
on which he took passage. In obe-
dience to the rules of the company
the conductor declined to accept it,
passes not being honored on that
train. Upon this Smith, who is a for
eigner and speaks English only poor

ly, offered in payment of the fare de-
manded a check issued to him by the
company. This also was refused and
not having any money or refusing to-
offer any he vas put off the train, as
he claims, with unnecessary force and
while the train vas still in motion.
At all events he sustained a fall and
one of his legs was injured.
The defense was that the train was
almost at a standstill and that instead
of having been pushed off, Smith sim
ply stepped from the platform. Much
expert testimony was introduced in
regard to the injuries of the plaintiff,
which the defendant claimed were
much less severe than alleged by the
plaintiff.
Smith secured a verdict for the
full amount sued for. A motion for a
new trial was made and granted and
the case hung fire until the January
term of this year, when it came up for
a second hearing. Once more the
jury found for Smith and once more
the company moved for a r~ehearing.
BY consent the matter was left to the
court to be decided in chambers. Up
on his return to Miles City Judge Loud
examined the law and failed to find
anything by which he was given au-
thority to decide in chambers a motion
of that kind and he reserved his de-
cision until yesterday, which was as
has already been stated.
Attorney Wallace of the Northern
Pacific was not in court when the
motion was decided and consequently
it is not known whether an appeal
will be taken. Under the law the de.
tense has 60 days in which to per-
feet an appeal, consequently there
is no particular need for haste on it's
part.
H. C. Crippen conducted the case
for the plaintiff throughout it's va
rious stages.

RAISING PEKIN DUCKS.

The PekIn duck was first imported to
this country from China In 1872 They are
now known In every community In the
eastern ana central states where they
have gained great reputation for mar
ket purposes, They are very easy TO
raise and are not subject TO as many
diseases as chickens; they lay from 100
To- 1870 eggs In n season II they get prop
er care and feed during the egg laying
season. While they are Il tlmid bird
they are very domestic In their habits
and never wander far from their quarters
when given their liberty.
The white plumage OF the Pekln is OF
great value as they are never afflicted
with vermin Of any kinG. There Is always
ready market for Pekin ducks and also
their feathers. Ducks can be raised with.
out water to swim In, but as a general
rule results are better If they have water
TO swim In during the egg laying season.
A two-foot wire netting fence Is suf-
fclent to hold matured ducks, while
l2-inch board will answer for the young
ducks. There should be some shade
provided for the young ducks In hot
weather.
During the laying season we feed equal
parts OF bran sh) rts. ground corn,
ground oats, mixed and mostened with
not water and left until cooled of before
feeding. Every other day We add boiled
potatoes or meat scraps, We also keep
Il constant supply OF oyster shells, sand
and water before them. In cold weather
We aim 10 keep. our duck house floor wei
covered with dry and clean straw, Ducks
staft laying in March or April (here IN

eggs III the morning, and they should be
kept shut up until "A, NJ, then you are

Pekin duck eggs must be Matched out

or Ave times a day with corn meal and
