menting on the recent shipment of
cattle and sheep that was sent to Chi

The Billings Sugar company Of
Billings, Mont, had on Mondays
market a big string of cattle to Clay,
Robinson & Co., which they sold as

81 horned, 1,,437 pounds at $3.50.
IA. B. Cross, who has charge Of the
company's feed lots, accompanied the
shipment, expressed much satisfac-
ton with the way the cattle we're
handled upon arrival at the yards and
was delighted with the prices they
brought.
These cattle were fed on alfalfa
meal and beet pulp. They. we're put
in the feed lots in November and
showed the excellent gain of $50
pounds per head during the sir
Most Of the cattle were dehorned, and
these made the best progress.

yet and 1t is probable that It will not
be started until the track and bridge
is replaced.
Orders were received at the local
railroad Offices yesterday to stop all
trains over the Bridger branch be-
tween Silesia and Bridger until fur
Their notice. The reason for such ac-
tion was the washing out OF four
bridges on that branch Tuesday night
and yesterday morning. Red Lodge
trains were not affected BY the high
water yesterday.
An unconilrmed and u%noflcial re-
port from Cody last night was to the
effect that high water had washed out
track on the Cody branch and had
done considerable damage.
Wires Are Down.
All direct means Of communication
with the west is cut off. The tele-
phone and telegraph wires are all
down and last night The Gazette's As

Chicago. The local pool rooms re
ceived the results OF the races at
Oakland and Louisville over the same
wire yesterday afternoon.
Although the damage to crops in
this section does not compare to the
benefits derived from the rain, 1t is
said that several farms in the low
lands Of Carbon county are inundated
and that the sugar beet crop will be
damaged to a certain extent. The
Saltwater and Clarks' Fork rivers are
said to be higher at present than for
some time past, as a result Of the

As a result of the heavy rains and
high water in tributaries, the Yellow.
