If all reports are true there IS go
ing to be a merry war when the
commissioners meet to take final
action on the matter. There are OPP
ponents to the ditch, and some OF
them are among the owners OF land
receiving the greatest benefits,
which also means that they will
have to stand their share of the big
expense pro rata according to the
benefits. This means lot of mon
ey that must be advanced before any
benefits accrue. Hence the impend-
ing conflict.
The reviewers estimate that Will
low Lake township will derive $3.50
benefit from the ditch by reason of
improvements that it will make to
D ne different roads in thetow nshlp.
Henry Berg is awarded s25 dam
ages by reason of the proposed
ditch running through the north
east quarter of section II and Will

Range Practically free Of Scsb.

The following is a letter which DR..
w. Weston recently wrote for the Kan
sas City Star:
About a year ago last June it was
found that there existed in North Da-
kota, South Dakota and Montana on
tagious skin disease known as Mango
or "Scab." 1t is supposed this was
brought into the country by cattle from
Texas, as there are large numbers of
Texas cattle fattened on the ranges of
the aforementioned states. At the
request of the cattle men the Bureau Of
Animal industry, under the Department
Of Agriculture. issued orders placing
North and South Dakota and Montana
under federal quarantine, which pro-
hibited the movement of cattle or sheep
from any of the above named states un-
less accompanied by a certificate OF
health issued by an employe Of the
Bureau of Animal Industry. These
orders were carried out and are still in
effect. To do this work it required
about fifty inspectors, all of whom, were
graduated veterinarians employed by
the Department of Agriculture. These
inspectors also had charge of the treat
ment of cattle infected with the Mango
or "Scab," the greater part of this work
being done before the shipping season.
Perhaps the most generally infected dis
trict in these three states was that district
lying west of the Cheyenne river in
South Dakota, where thousands of cattle
died during the winter of 1903 and 1904
as the result of the ravages of this dis
ease. While the disease is. not fatal,
under ordinary circumstances, on the
ranges of the northwest it becomes. a
serious disease on accountof;the extreme
cold and length Of the winters. The
parasites causing considerable irritation
interfere with the animals grazing and
cause excavations as the result of con.
tact with trees, stones, fences, shrubs
etc. These wounds cause the skin in
the affected parts to become frozen
thereby producing a condition of gan
CREME to which the animal succumbs
In some cases many.of the hides were
SO badly mutilated that they could b.
used only for glue.
A great many who have not had ex
perience with the disease in this countr,

Chicago Live Stock World: The high.
est price paid for range cattle in August
was s5.o5, which just equals the top
secured any month last year. The
highest price. paid for range cattle in.
August last year was SAYS, but Sis was
obtained in 1902, which was a record
for that month. 4 Values in August were
very similar to those, paid the previous
year, but the quality Of the cattle was
better, and there was a larger proper
ton of sales made at a high range.
There has been only one year in he.past
IS when the best. rangers sold under
$4'in August, and that was in 1887, and
there were only 12,4oo head received
that month.
The proportion of good rangescattle
received here this year has been com
paratively large. This is accounted for
not only by the favorable season. but
because there are more small .ranchmen
in the business who a give their cattle
better care than, could be done under
the old regime, when a few men owned
all the cattle in the West The, new
arrangement means 40 less cattle but
better ones. The small ranchman can
feed his cattle. hay during the toughest
weather and SO bring them through the
winter in much better shape than if the
cattle had to rustic for themselves. In
fact, many Of the cattle that have topped
the market this season were nursed
through the winter on hay, and ranch
men are thoroughly convinced that there
is 0 profit in handling cattle this
way. Of course the big ranchman is
not able to do this, but the day Of the
big onessis rapidly passing.
The Dickinson press., 1905-09-09

but haye only observed conditions as
they are found on cattle in feed lots
and barns, have no idea of the serious
ness of the disease.
AS a curative treatment, dipping tanks
have been installed all over the district
in which infection existed, and all in
fected or exposed cattle have been COM
PEELED to swim through a tank about 60
feet in length and containing about 6
feet of a solution of lime and sulphur,
prepared under the supervision of a
department employee. y
When the cattle are infected it is
necessary to repeat the operation, the
cattle being held in the tank two minutes
each time, a period of not less than ten,
and not more than fourteen days having
elapsed between the first and second
treatment. This treatment absolutely
effects a cure in all cases where it is
properly administered.
Practically all of North Dakota has
been freed from the disease and the
conditions in the three states mentioned
at present indicate an early termination
ofthe existence Of the disease therein.
AS this has been accomplishedsintprac-
tically two years, it would appear that
the work of the department has been
effective, prompt and complete. for
which the people should be duly CRATE
full. In some places the employees have
met with some little opposition, but on
the whole the motives seem to have
been understood and the work has been
carried on with dispatch and satisfaction
to all parties concerned.
This is only of the many things
which "Uncle SAM" in his various capa-
cities, has done for the industries of the
United States, and it would SEEM that
this should be an encouragement, to all
business ventures, and should make
every American citizen rejoice that he
lives in a country in which his interests
are looked after by the "Great White
Father" as it were,. nearly as.wel+as-we
have tried to care for those who were;
found on the shores by the pioneer who
laid the foundation of the greatest
nation on the face Q f'the earth. ' 10.

In order to reduce the large stock
carried by the Boston Store, an incor-
poration sale has been inaugurated,
and the price of every article in the
store has been cut from 20 to 25 per
cent, and the stock win be reduced.
The line of goods carried by the
Boston Store is the highest grade in
the market and includes such well
known makes of clothing as the Stein
Block: in shoes, the Hannah, the

throughout the entire stock the mark
of real merit is visible. Tomorrow

This afternoon Carter, Raley & Ra-
ley, local representatives of the o. r.
& n. Co., filed in the circuit court a
suit in equity in which they seek to
prove that the assessment of $4,000
mile upon their roadbed is unjust.
The basis of the railroads case is that
II was unjust for the assessor to make
valuation on their property accord
ing to the net earnings of the company
for the entire line rather than for that
portion which is within Umatilla coun-
ty.
They contend that for 1908 and
1904, $500 per mile is just assess
ment, and they offer to pay that
amount to the court. Whether or not
this amount wilr be paid to the cir
cult judge even If not accepted by the
county as full payment, seems to be
undecided. However, some attorneys
hold that the railroad must make an
actual offer of the money, and that
the circuit judge may accept the same
and turn 1t into the county treasurer
although the amount is not accepted
by the county as full payment. Judge
Ellis being away today could not be
seen regarding this point
The suit filed today is a lengthy af-
fair and covers many typewriter
pages. Many of these are used in de-
scribing the lands owned by the coun-
ty. The complaint is signed by the
following attorneys: w: w: Cotton,
Carter, Raley & Raley and A. C. Spen-
Ger.

and the cost to the company is the
same.
With the kind of price arrangement
the company wishes, there would sim
ply be no competition between gas
and electricity. Thus the main object
of a gas plant, Chat of furnishing a
competitor for electricity would be
lost Among many 1t Is the firm be-
lief that the officials of the Northwest
ern Gas & Electric company realize
that some day a gas company will
come here in competition with them
unless they themselves establish a
plant, and that their main object now
is to secure the field for themselves
by securing a franchise which will
give them control without competing
with their electric business.
Consequently, they favor granting
the franchise only on such conditions
as will allow the city to have a hold
on the matter by having power to
take over the plant should they wish
to do so.
Unless the Northwestern Gas &
Electric company is willing TO accept
franchise on such terms, 1t Is the
desire that a plant be established by
the city or by an Independent COM
pany holding a charter in which the
city's interests shall be protected.
