Bulgarian Army Stops Fighting

London, Nov. 20.-Fighting between
the Turks and Bulgarians has tempo
rarily ceased near Constantinople and
the commanders are negotiating for an
armistice.- The Ottoman government
appointed Nazim Pasha to confer with
General Savog, the Bulgarian leader.
Reports regarding the conditions Of
peace are conflicting.
The Bulgarian troops operating be-'
fore the lines of Notifications defend
ing Constantinople at Tchalja have
received orders to cease fighting and
merely hold the positions they have
won, as negotiations have begun for the
conclusion of an armistice at the re-
quest of Turkey.
1t is understood that the terms of the
allies for an armistice are moderate
and that Turkey may save Constanti-
nople if she accepts them.
Respecting Albania, it is said, in well
informed quarters that the Balkan
league probably will not object to that
country remaining under the superanity
of the sultan and that the powers will
acquiesce in this.
Bulgarian's conditions for agreeing
to an armistice were transmitted to
Constantinople early yesterday morning.
They were accompanied by Bulgarian's
main conditions for the conclusion of
peace, the principal stipulation of which
permits Turkey to retain the city Of
Constantinople and a strip of coast
territory in Europe.
General Mahmound Mukhtar who
reached Constantinople yesterday suf-
fering from bullet wound in the leg
peceived his injury while riding to in
spect the positions with his staffs. APP
preaching trench which was supposed
to be occupied by Turks he discovered
too late that it held Bulgarians. A
fulsilade from the Bulgarians wounded
Mahmound Mukhtar and three other
officers. The bullet was extracted this
morning and it is expected that the
general will recover within week.
A late report says the Turks rejected
the terms offered by the Balkans and
military operations have been resumed.
France has notified the Turkish govern
ment that she would hold Turkey res
ponsible for any violence against Chris
tions.
Large quantities of ammunition and
stores belonging to the Turks have
fallen into the hands of the Greeks.

Had It and Lost II

There are turbulent times in Mercer
county, especially in the political field,
and of course that is enough when it
comes tokeeping people awake O nights.
The item of interest in Mercer county
recently has been the fight which has
centered around the Office of states at
torney, H. L. Berry. who was states
attorney, was candidate for renomina-
tion and was opposed by R. S. Enge.
The latter won out, whereupon Berry
resigned and Enge was appointed to fill
the vacancy. John Cass was placed
upon the ballot by petition and pulled
off by the court, which held that he
failed to secure the proper number of
signers to his petition. Enge had no
sooner taken the Office than the pigs of
that county were raided and, Of ofcoyrse,
that made both the piggers and their
friends sore at Enge. This class nat
urally being of vindictive disposition,
sought to wreck vengeance upon Enge
and turned in with the socialists, Sc
cured stickers and elected Cass over
Enge. S.
Now comes Mr.. Enge to the. Office of
the attorney general with the claim
that Mr.. Cass is not q practicing at
torney in this state, having never been
admitted to practice in North Dakota,
hence is ineligible. Cass claims that
he had been admitted in Minnesota .
number Of years, ago, and that he can
be admitted BY the time he is ready to
qualify. Yesterday an opinion was de-
livered from the Office Of the attorney
general TO the effect that Mr.. Cass
could not qualify inasmuch 40 he was
not. an admitted attorney at the time Of
election. Whether Mr. Cass viii carry
up the matter 70 the courts Or not, rels|
mains to be seen, though some claim y
IL doubtful. as the courts have passed
upon this point. holding that Y person
must be qualified for the Office q thsY

Less Stock Rails
ing Than In Past
Decrease Of Fifty Thousand Head in
Montana over Number Shipped
Last Year

FIFTY CnOuSanQ neaQ OI cdIIle ieSo
will be shipped out of Montana this
year than year ago is the estimate OF
D. w. Raymond, secretary of the state
board of stock commissioners, who
bases it upon reports Of inspectors,
talks with stockmen and his own know
ledge of conditions. This shortage is q
25 per cent decrease in year. Last
year a total of 2O5, 1853 head was shipped
to market from Montana.
.How do l account for it? There
are several reasons" said Mr.. Ray
mond. "In the first place, we all know
the agricultural development Of Mont
ana in the past few years has shrunk
the range, compelling reduction in
the size of herds, and the new settlers
have not been in business long enough
to raise stuff to make up for the re-
duction.
Secondly, the drouth year ago in
eastern Montana forced stockmen to
ship everything they could round up.
Then came the hard winter, and the
losses in some portions of the state
were above normal. The result is there
are not the cattle in Montana there
would have been if conditions had been
normal, even allowing for the coming
of the settlers" !"
Mr.. Raymond is of the opinion it will
be from five to ten years before the
deficiency is overcome, because there
are no stock cattle in the country.
This high price of beef is not due to
the trust, nor to other factors produc-
ing an artificial condition." he said.
eft resolves itself into the old simple
question of supply and demand is going
to exceed the supply for the next few
years. That is all there is to it.
Cattle for breeding purposes are
not to be had in the country. The
drouth two years ago in the middle
western states forced the grower of
that region to throw everything on the
market; it was case of doing that or
of their herds starving to death. A
year ago came the dreuth in Wyoming,
the Dakotas and eastern Montana.
Growers shipped everything. This was
followed by a hard winter, which further
cleaned the country. Consequently the
cattle with which the herds can be re-
plentished are not to be found.
: 1T will take several years to build
up the herds and with the population
jumping by tremendous bounds each
year, it is problematical whether the
stockmen will be able to catch up with
the demand for beef. It certainly
looks like there would be good money
in the cattle business for years to come. ;"
Because Of the high prices offered at
eastern markets this year, very few
Montana cattle have gone to the west
ern markets this year, where year
ago from 80, 600 to- 10000 head were
shipped. The coast markets also were
able to secure beef this year from
California and Oregon, which also had
q tendency to reduce shipments from
Montana points.
