JAIL EXPENSES FOR 1908.

I. The records of the county sheriff
show that seven prisoners were held
at different times in the county Jail
during the year 1908. Their respec-
tive expenses were as follows for var
ious intervals of incarceration: $1,000,
SIS, $43, $3.50, $3.50. and IL or a to-
tai of $4,000. An estimate or an av-
erage of fifty cents day is made for
the expense of each prisoner. The
inmates are given good care; three
meals day keep them as good ma
tured as might be expected. Maya
zines and daily papers afford them
reading matter, and occasionally the
sheriff or the deputy gives them the
use of fiction in book form. AS a
prisoner usually has some money
about him, the use Of tobacco is al
lowed. At the present time, the Jail
is empty, and a saving of fuel, labor
and food is realized by the county.

4 Most Satisfactory Season.

ION the whole. this has been one of
the most satisfactory seasons that
western cattlemen have ever expert
enced," remarked r. M. Faddis of
Valentine, to a reporter for the Omaha
Stockman journal. Feed has been
good as a rule and the cattle have got
ten into fine condition in most parts of
the range country. At the market the
demand from both packers and feeders
has been strong and prices have been
better than for many years. AS re-
suit most of the cattlemen have come
out with good comfortable balance on
the right side of the ledger, and they
can view the approach of winter with
much less fear than a year ago. UP
around Valentine the shipping season
is practically over and we are ready
for winter to set in any time. Late
grazing has been rather better than it
was early in the season. The grass
was too rank and washy, while the late
grass cured up nicely and made the
finest kind of feed. Hardly AS many
cattle will be carried in oar country as
year ago but cowmen are in good
shape to take care of all that they
have. Record Stockman.
