CLING young commonwealth. Together
with his Go-wofkers the session was made
railroad legislation. The railroad law
framed at that time, won after a long
and vigorous fight, may be pointed to as
of which Senator Grill bore a FOREMOST
and valiant part. 1t will he remembered
that when mis- name came before the Alb

nomination he had not been forgotten

pers of cattle from the Black Hills
II are wondering how long the
strike With the packers in the east will
continue. For some time past the cat
tlemen have been getting heir stock
in shape to make early shipments. A
number of the large outfits have
rounded several carloads in punches,
and but for the request from cattle
buyers in the east to hold the stock
shipments would have been made the
first of last week. Owing to the great
abundance of rain this past season the
range has been in excellent condition.,
so that early shipments OF stock will
be made. Cattlemen could stand a de-
lay of shipments for three or four
weeks and not lose any great amount
of money, but should the strike con-
tinue longer than September 1 there
is liable to be a heavy loss. The Black
Hills towns are being supplied with
meat almost entirely from local
sources. a good many beeves being
brought in from the range.
