d! RIGHT To TRAIL
Will Fight Opposition of Cot
tagers to Driving Flocks
Through Canyon,

About twenty prominent shcepnen
gathered in the office Of Stewart. Bow
man & Norris IN the Mcintyre building
Yesterday afternoon. TO discuss a pro-
posed compromise offered by the cottag
ers in Emigration canyon The case OF
the City OF sal, Lake against A. l..
Richens and others will come before Judge
J. NJ Bowman I'm the city court today.
This has been pending for some time and
is To determine whether the practice of
driving sheep through Emigration canyon
twice each year must be discontinued In
the future.
The cottaEers proposed that the sheep
men take their 6ocks by trail north of
Emigration canyon. which seems TO be
altogether ont of the question The pro-
poycd route according TO the shecpmen.
is too long Ia make in a day, is without
water, and so steep that 1t would not
only be impossible 10 drive their Wagons
over II. but that II is too steep for pack
horses. The sheepmen We're unanimously
In favor of turning down the proposed
compromise and viii settle The question
In court.
The sheepmen contend that they req
resent an Industry that means grea,
deal TO Salt Lake City and that this In :
dustry will he practically killed by the
abolishing OF the trail UP Emigration
canyon. This trail has been used by
sheepmen as a main thoroughfare ever
since Brigham Young and his fellow plo-
nc"rS came down the CANYON into This
valley in 1877. This Is the only means OF
getting the sheep from one range to the
other and is used twice every year. The
sheep are driven out on the desert 10 tho
winter range in the latter part OF Octo-
bcr, and some time In April are taken
back TO the mountains 10 the summer
range.
The sheepunen claim that the sheep arc
driven through the canyon when the cot
lages arc empty and that they do not
bother the water, as II Is well known
that sheep are more afraid OF water than
they are Of fire. They point out tha,
the trail is part Of their Industry ant
that the cottagers are infringing ON their
rights.
Two committees were appointed-onc
consisting of ]. G, McCalllster. George
Canning and f. J. jeremy. to see the
county commissioners in regard To lm-
proyements needed on the Emigration
canyon road; and the other. consisting oil
George Canning. X. Hatch and Robert
Young. to call on all OF tine shecpmcr
who trail their flocks through the can
yon. I'm order TO make the defense as
strong as possible. Stewart, Bowman &
Morris have been employed To conduct
the defense. and they say that If they
lose In the case today they Will carry

by their deeds and not by their words.
Talk is cheap, but it is action that
counts. Every man who voted for the
bill and spoke against it, confessed
that 1t was a sell.out, yet, like sheep
in the herd they did not make the pro-
per kind of protests against being led
to the slaughter. The bill that passed
is as far removed from the kind OF a
law the people demanded and expect
ed as can possibly be imagined.
Some played the baby act by claim.
ing it was the best they could get,
which indicates an order OF intelli'
gence that is not In the least compli-
mentary to them. 1t would have been
wiser to have stood for an out.and'out
general primary law, thereby uphold
ing the wishes and principles OF the
party, though knowing nothing could
be accomplished, than to have meekly
submitted to an outrage conceived and
perpetrated by those who are actu ated
in behalf of certain interests. Prin.
ciples count for something. and It is
better to 60 down to defeat when con.
testing for them than to achieve VIC
tory by making q sacri8c OF honor.
Unless the democrats force the issue
fairly and squarely, before 1t is too
late, for q general primary law, they
will discover with what ~neatness and
dispatch voters can r%epudiate them at
the next general election. The bill
was framed In the interests, not of the
people, but of those who have con-
trolled and are seeking to continue In
control of the politics Of the state for
selfish purposes. Those who voted
for the bill will be compelled to &C.
knowledge their shame when they re.
turn to their homes after adjournment,
and what humiliating s%pectacles they
will make of themselves.

Would Establish Alfalfa Mills.

BILLINGS, Feb. 23.-For the pur.
pose of ~endeavoring to interest east
ern capitalists in the matter of estab.
fishing a chain of alfalfa mills
throughout the Yellowstone and ad-
joining valleys, DR.. Sudduth will
leave the city in q few days, fortified
with data which will convince the
most skeptical that the industry Great.
ed will be of colossal proportions and
will result in great benefits, not only
to the investors as we'll.
According to statistics gathered by
DR.. Sudduth, there are more than $780,
600 acres of irrigated land in the up.
per Yellowstone, the Clark Fork and
the Saltwater valleys, and of this
area about Is, 1000 acres are now grow.
ing alfalfa and producing approxi-
mately 300, 900 tons annually.
With the development OF the indus.
try which is certain to follow the es-
Establishment of the mills, it is believed
that At least 100000 acres would be
seeded to alfalfa when it is under
stood that go per ton is received for
the ground product, of which amount
fully one-half is profit to the producer,
an idea OF the value Of the industry ia
gained.
On account of lax methods in feed.
ing, fully one.half of the forage is
wasted. Much of this is the stems,
which contain a large amount of pro-
TEN, and this loss is overcome when
the plant 10 milled, for every particle
is converted into the ground feed,
meal or some other form, which car

A Grist Of Items Gathered From Our
Northern Montana Exchanges.
Joplin Independent: The first i'm.
migrant q to arrive In Joplin was
put out op the siding last night. And
there will be plenty more to follow.
Malta Enterprise: Twenty below

eighteen to twenty inches of snow on

Valerian: A number of Waller cisi.
zens have been subpoenaed by the
state to appear as witnesses at Cut
Bank tomorrow in the trial OF Fred
Davis on a grand larceny charge.
Davis is an old time COW puncher and
broncho buster and is suspected of
gathering in horses and cattle that
did not belong to him.
Malta Enterprise: B. D. Phillips
last week shipped 1900 sheep from
Dodson to Billings where they will be
kept and fed for the remainder OF the
winter and then tralled back in the
spring. They were to have been
shipped two weeks ago but q heavy
snow storm prevented. While held at
Dodson waiting shipment the sheep
consumed 200 tons Of hay.
Havre Plaindealer: A revolver
shot startled the residents of west
First street Thursday evening. The
shot was fred from the street, the
bullet going through the window of
Ed. Redwin's place, and the circum-
stances would indicate that Mr.. Red.
win was the intended target. Chief of
Police Heron was promptly on the
scene, but investig alton failed to 10.
cate the identity of the shooter.
Chinook Opinion: The water users
met again last Saturday to talk over
the water proposition. The different
ditch companies had been holding
meetings in the meanwhile and the
sentiment of the land owners was
much more settled than during the
previous week. The sentiment is fav-
orable to signing the agreement In
most cases and it appears probable
that the required per cent OF sigma
lures will be received.
Valerian: Those tales of Montsna
weather that would freeze q wooden
cigar sign do not harmonic with the
experience OF Tom Donegan of Waller
who has slept in q tent all winter.
Nor does Thomas enjoy the luxury Of
q stove; he finds it unnecessary and
avoids all the worry that keeping uI
the fire, cleaning out ashes and buy
