THE YEAR IN REVIEW.
Momentous Events That Have Signal

The all-absorbing topic of January.
1903, was the Venezuelan imbroglio.
The active events of that affair be-
long, of course. to 1902. though as late
as Jan. % the German ships bonn
barded the fort of San Carlos, but on
Jan. s President Castro rested Ven
ezuela's side of the case entirely in
the hands of Minister Bowen, VINO set
sail for home Jan. IL. After that the
whole matter was thrashed out in
Washington, and the interest in the
affair remained keen to the very close.
because many thought they saw in the
warlike action of the allies, especially
Germany. a determination to attack
no Venezuela so much as Uncle Sans
famous Monroe doctrine. The attempt
IL it were really so intended. complete,
ly failed. for, though pitted against
some of the most astute diplomats of
Europe, Minister Bowen persistently
upheld the real rights of the weaker
country and negotiated terms of set
tlement favorable to Venezuela with.

The Great Coal Strike.

does the Venezuelan affair and the de

The commission entered into the mat

ly. The last witness was not called
until Feb. and the arguments of the
opposing counsel consumed the fol
lowing week. President George F.
Baer represented the operators and
Clarence Darrow the miners.
After a months deliberations the
commission reported.

Two Strausses.

Never was there worse confu-
sion caused by similarity of names
than between Strauss. the tone
poet, and Strauss, the composer Of
the celebrated "Blue Danube and
many other values. What makes
the muddle more amusing is the
fact that the two Strausses are
quite intimate with one another,

ulated- as he often is-on the
success of the waltzes he did not
write, he at once sits down and

Politically, this county, and also
Payne county, went Republican

county. Most of the people | have
talked with are for single state
hood. Land is high, and runs
from ten to forty dollars per acre,
according to the situation. Most
all the farms are quarter sections;
very few smaller or larger. We
travel on section lines. They
fence thrir pastures while the
farms go unfenced, though some
have two or three wires around
their farms, so they can pasture
after crops are gathered. Very
little land rents for standing rent,
but rents for third and fourth OF
the crop.
One hand can cultivate at least
IL third more here than in=our
country, and much easier. | con-
slider this a much better country
than ours, even for a renter. Water
is plentiful; mostly drilled wells.
As to health, that is good. Cattle
are cheap, but good horses and
mules bring from Sl00 TO 9lZo d

The wind blows a good portion
of the time, but it is dry, A good
many windmills are used for pump

to 80 cents per bushel. Most
farmers husk their corn, except,
as the people here say, the Arkan-

the market yet, but can be leased,

At the time Britain was at war

MONTANA BUFFALO.
A Fine Herd OF Three Hundred Oh
the FlatheRd Indian Reservation.

- Fc heru OF Fhree Hundred ON
the Flafheed Indian Reservation.
There are several herds of buffaloes
In America, but all of them combined
would not equal I'm size the Allerd herd
OF the Flathead reservation In Mon
tana. The herd sprang from two buff
falo calves captured twenty years ago
by an Indian.
Charles Allerd, one of the leading
braves OF the reservation. took the
calves and, capturing few others.
started out with herd OF five. 1t was
his intention to fatten them like beeyes
and use them when hunting was poor.
Major Peter Roonan, ut that time In
dian agent at the reservation, suggest
ed to Allerd that it might be good idea
to breed the buffaloes, as the animals
were becoming scarce In that territory.
The herd now numbers 300 and is
valued at quarter of million dol
lars. Allerd has given but little at.
tention to his buffaloes. They have
made little attempt to leave the little
valley OF the Flathead where they have
been pastured. Mountain walls easily
barred any such inclination, and the In
dams along the various passes have
taken care to see that Charley Allerd's
herd did not escape. Allerd did not
realize that he was wealthy man I'M
til one day he was offered 500 for one
OF his herd by circus agent.
Parts Of the herd have been exhibited
all over the United States. They were
one of the gVeat attractions OF the
worlds fair i'm Chicago.
Just before Allerd died he called on
the man who had suggested the buffalo
breeding idea to him and gave him a
present Of $500.
Two half breed sons survive the old
Indian. When they need money they
kill the Oldest buffalo in the herd and
sell il TO Butte butchers. The hide
brings $500 and the meat sells for an
other $500. The meat finds ready sale
in Butte at 81 a pound. Wealthy miners
and others pay from $40 TO SD for the
choicest cuts and invite their friends
in for buffalo dinner.
The herd is increased by thirty or
forty calves every year, and for some
unknown reason this band of buffaloes
thrives much better than the inmates
or the Yellowstone NATIONAL park,
Both the Allerd boys have travelled
extensively and are well educated. 1t
Is the hobby of one OF them to harness
his two biggest bulls in a team and ride
at breakneck speed through the streets
OF Missoula. Many OF the bulls in the
herd are wild, and great difficulty Is ex-
perienced in loading them for ship
ment. One magnificent bull recently
charged from one end OF the car To the
other, striking with such terrific force
that he broke his neck. The Allerd
herd is the only effort made to perpet-
uate the fast disappearing monarchs OF
the plains.-Indianapol Sun.
