CATTLE DYING
IN THE STORM
HEAVY WIND AND SNOW OVER

Severest in the Northern Portion,

Sheepmen Save Their Animals, but

Special to The journal e..
Butte, Mont March PA severe storm
has struck Montana. Reports from every
section tell Of cold weather and snow and
Of bad range conditions which, If long
continued, will probably prove more disas-
trous to the live stock industry Of the
state that any other storm for years.
While the storm covers the entire state,
it is most severe in those portions Of
northern Montana where live stock has
had the heaviest losses this season. For
two months there has not been a warm
period sufficiently prolonged to permit
cattle to recuperate, and they have suf-
fered because of their inability to secure
water.
For a week cattle have been dying in
portions of Teton and Valley counties, and
all stock not on feed has been rapidly
growing weaker. Continuance Of the pres
ent weather conditions for forty-eight
hours will cause the loss Of many range
cattle. From many places come reports
that those who have been able to feed
their cattle thus far will not be able to
do so for more than a week longer. It
has already become necessary for several
stock men in Teton county to ship in
hay.
Sheepmen have not had any big losses
and do not fear any. They are generally
we'll supplied with hay, and, while they
have been compelled to feed to such an
extent that they cannot expect any profits
on the years operations, they have saved
their stock and still have hay on hand.
There was a heavy wind all day, keep
ing" the air full Of snow and driving the
cattle before the storm. Cattle will not
Craze in such a storm, even when they
can get at the grass, and, punching in
sheltered places, soon perish. 49,

the laws and ascertain. if possible, whether
religion enters to any appreciable extent

One OF the party, a graduate OF Toxic

in resigning their ancient civilization to
that of the Caucasian race, accepted
everything that modern civilization had to
offer except it's religion. After careful
examination, absolutely unprejudiced and
free from preconceptions, the Japanese
had unanimously and unhesitatingly re-
jected the religion of the Europeans as
something which they did not want and

treatment is general lin this state, and
when the formaldehyde is 38 per cent the
