Unless careful estimates go awry.
the state of Montana will be able to

idson made an estimate based upon
the number of claims filed during
the same period last year. and this
showed that If the filings for the re.
mainder Of 1904 are not greater than
for the same period in 1903. the
money that will have accumulated in
the state bounty fund by the last day
of the year will enable the board of
examiners to pay off every claim
against the fund at that time.
There is at present about $4,000 in
the fund. and it Is probable that the
examiners will make a payment of
about $4,000 some time in July.

year. The act threw safeguards
about the bounty business so that
there was less opportunity for fraud
than under the old law, and with this
feature of the law the stockmen
throughout the state have expressed
satisfaction. But 1t is said that the
reduction of the price for scalps has
tended to discourage scalp hunters.
and that it is this fact rather than
any diminution in the number of
wolves and coyotes In Montana that
has caused the material decrease in
the aggregate of the bounty claims
since the new law went into effect.
Some dissatisfaction v e this fea-
ture of the law has been formally ex-
pressed by stockmen's associations,
and there are some who believe that
there will be an endeavor at the next
session of the legislature to have the
old bounty schedule restored.
