BETTER BEEF PRICES.
First Range Shipments Of the Season
On Chicago Market.

Beef shipments from Montana
ranges will not become general until
about the middle Of September, but
stockmen will be interested In the
market conditions indicated by the
prices paid for range shipments from
other parts Of the west. In its market
report for the past week, the Farmers
and Drovers Journal says:
Formal opening OF the western
range marketing season this week
gave traders somewhat Of q surprise,
quality of the offerings being consid.
erably better than anticipated, al.
though rangemen who were here

not compare with cattle to come later.
A run Of 5000 for the week was Of

and two years ago, when the season
opened q few weeks earlier.
Buyers showed keen appreciation Of
offerings and prices for bulk ranged

STOCKMEN SUFFER LOSS.
Compliance With Cattle Dipping Or
der Injuries Their Business.

l. is the opinion OF q majority OF
northern Montana stockmen that the
federal and state regulations affecting
cattle 10 this district we're unnecessary,
and caused them considerable fnacial
loss. II was discovered by inspectors
in charge Of dipping operations that
scabies was not prevalent among the
native range cattle of the district, the
disease being confined to etock that
had been shipped in from other
states. A Valley county stockman ex.
presses his opinion OF the proceedings
in a communication printed by the
Hinsda ale Homestead, which is in part
as follows:

the sting Of the order.
1t will readily be seen that if expen.
sive measures are TO be imposed upon
the stockmen for the e%xtirpation OF the
scabies, other communities or states
should be subjected 20 the same re-
Quirements, and not cast q stigma and
place a burden upon the stockmen OF
northern Montana only. When the
nature of scabies 10 considered-that
it is only q cutaneous affection that
does not impair the flesh OF the AMI
NAL for food-it is apparent that un'
due importance is attached TO II by
officials who ought to be in better
business than devising schemes te
prosecute the agricultural classes.
For this dipping interference and IN
just hindrance, the federal government
, is chiefly responsible through its bu
reau of animanl industry. Partl!
through coercion by it and Target!
through the zeal OF the highly scien
. ti6c chief state veterinarian, the stat
: adopted q law designed to iutimid at
cattle owners. Both the federal gov
o ernment and the state have, IN tn
past, acted inconsis,ently and witt
