A Grist Of Items Gathered From Our
Northern-.Montana Exchanges.
Glasgow Review: A couple of COM
mission men from the western part Of
the state have been in Glasgow the
past few days trying to buy sheep
from aockmasters who are thought to
be in distress. The prices offered are
not Of such q lattering nature as to in
duce anyone to part with their sheep.
Glasgow Review: Owing to a scar
city of fuel in Glasgow the city coun-
Gil last week appropriated some forty
cords OF wood belonging to E. D.
Coleman and the same has been de.
livered about town to those in i'm.
mediate need. The council will re.
place the wood to the owner as soon
- traffic is resumed on the Great
Northern.
Chinook Opinion: The feeding pro-
position is getting to be serious with
many of the stockmen and many Of
them have already nearly exhausted
their supply OF hay. The ranchers
with hay to spare are not anxious to
let 60 and the prospects are that
prices will 60 soaring. $lO.50 has
been offered for hay in the stack and
none to be had at that.
Chester Signal: The driver of the
Gold Butte stage had an experience
Saturday night that he will not care
to repeat. The road being badly
drifted with snow, he was late on his
return trip and night overtaking him
and his horses being worn out he un-
hitched and blanketed them and then
proceeded to walk until morning when
he came to town, little the worse from
the tramp.
Havre P~laindealer: John Lee, feel.
ing the rigor of the weather beneath
his cotton clothes, noticed a dummy
standing in front Of the Fair store
wearing a comfortable fur at.
John decided that he needed the coat
more than the dummy and lifted 1t.
He was later arrested with one who
gave the name of j. A. Smith, charged
with the theft and bound over to the
district court. Smith was discharged.
Choteau Acantha: A trainload OF
sheep, the property Of j. B. Long 4
Co., were unloaded at Collins yester,
day morning and will be driven to the
ST ranch. south of Choteau, where
they will be run for the balance of the
winter. The sheep were loaded a,
Saco, in Valley county, as, owing to
a scarcity of feed aud the severe
weather in that section it was found
necessary to get them into a new loca.
ton.
Conrad Observer: A report from
Dupuyer says that VIM. Miller has a
corner on the hay market in tina,
vicinity. He has bought up all the
available stacks, and he feels that
this winter there will be a big demand
for it. The Leech brothers and J. w.
Quail, Of Dupuyer, are feeding sew.
eral hundred head of cattle for the
spring market. They are making IN.
roads on last years. hay and grain
crop and a shortage is looked for.

time to pile up the dead carcasses. l,
