opening the bids, not single one had
been submitted. In discussing the
horse shortage, Mr.. Zimmerman said:
I'VE had intended asking $3.50 a
head for cavalry horses, which we
thought would give us fair margin
OF profit. but, after making thor
ough study of the markets throughout
the country, we came to the conclu-
sion that even at these high figures
We could not accept the contract
without placing ourselves in a posi-
ton to lose heavily by the transaction.
AS the government requires bond to
be deposited to insure the filling of
the contract, the general scarcity OF
the market. together with the great
demand for horses at the present
time, made it almost impossible to fill
the contract"

Horses Are Scarce as Result of Call
From New Settlers in n. d. and
Other Northwest Places.

The demand for horses made by the
new settlers of North Dakota, with
the demand made by other new states

great scarcity of the animals in the
eastern markets. Even in ST. Pani it
is almost impossible to secure h1rses,

new settlers who nave found homes

some of the for land that
from $500 to $6G2 Is being offered for

to $4,000 for quarter sections OF decided
land are common. Only recently an
exceptionally fine tract Of and near

which would be considered very good
in the older settled portion of the
state.
Philip is becoming an important
stock shipping point OF the new rail-
o extension. In n day recently,
fifty carloads of cattle left here for
the eastern markets. This is only a
small part of the cattle which will be
shipped from Philip before winter
sets in.
1t is the general belief from recent
developments that it will not be long
until another railroad is constructed
from Philip up the north fork OF Bad
river, through Deadman valley, then
up to Ash creek, Pedro and to the Belle
FOurche river.
The Deadman valley is one of the
most beautiful spots in western South
