Montana Short of Cattle

According to D. w. Raymond,
secretary of the state board of
stock commissioners, the decrease
in cattle in Montana during the
past four years amounts to 26
per cent and the increase of land
that has passed into private
ownership shows Z per cent.
These two conditions naturally
go together, for the settlement
Of the open range, for the time
being at least, has driven nearly
all the old-time cattlemen out of
business, says the Butte Miner.
Another influence that has un-
doubtedly helped to decrease the
number of cattle in this state is
The Ronan pioneer., 1914-12-04

in part accounted for by the ex-
ceptionally high price that any
animals fit for beef have brought
in the market during the last
few years.
Fat COWS, which at one time
did not bring much, in late times
have sold for prices which 10
years ago would have been
thought high for first class steers.
Montana has entered upon the
transitional stage, which finds
the old range being turned into
homesteads and cultivated farms.
Most settlers on the public
domain are not financially able
to maintain even small herds Of
cattle, but when they are estab-
lished and in a position to grow
the necessary feed, it is likely
that this state will then produce
more beef every year than it
ever dreamed Of doing in the
days Of the open range.
Years ago, when Ohio was the
leading wool producing state in
the union, the size of the aver
age flock of sheep in that COM
monwealth was said to be about
IS head.
So it is reasonable to suppose
when the vacant lands of Mon.
tana are mostly turned into cul-
tivated farms, each farmer will
have a few steers to sell every
fall and in the aggregate the
number of beef animals sent tC
market each year will greatly
exceed that of the old range
days.
i At present the range is de
pleted and the farmers have no
begun to make up for the loss
but this will not always be so.

RESERVATION TO Be MADE
or ALL MONTANA IN 1916

If present plans do not mis-
carry, all Montana will be on the
same basis as the reservation
after 1916. According to Rev.
Jesse Lachlem of Bozeman, sec
retary Of the Anti-Saloon league
Of the state, and Rev. George d.
Wolfe of Butte, the state presi-
dent, a meeting of the executive
committee will soon be called to
make plans for a campaign for
statewide prohibition.
Since the last election, when
prohibition carried in four out of
six states voting on the propo-
sition, and the passing of the
woman suffrage amendment to
the state constitution, and the
effect of the visit of the flying
squadron to Montana, local Or
ganizations in favor of prohibition
have been organized in many
parts of the state, and the Rev.
Mr.. Lachlem states that the SEN
timent now looks as though Mon
tana would go dry in 1916.

ANACONDA COPPER COM
PANy CONTRIBUTES TAXES

On November Both the Ana
conda Copper company paid it's
taxes in eighteen Montana coun-
ties, aggregating the neat sum
Of $675, 900. Of this amount
Missoula county received $44.-
522. Is; Silver Bow $340, 594. IS,
about half the amount received
for all taxes in that county.
Because of the depreciation in
the price of copper the Anaconda
company paid $76, 1886 less
than was paid a year ago, the
net proceeds Of the company be-
ing more than So, 900, 600 less.
The Anaconda company paid
3O.6 per cent of all the taxes
paid in Silver Bow county, and
in Deer Lodge county, where are
located the Washoe smelters and
concentrators, 47.6 of all the
taxes.
North Butte also paid it's taxes
through the Anaconda's tax de-
paatment, swelling the amount
passing through it that day to
$3.50, 600.

IDAHO MAN PLANS
TO SETTLE WEST

Major Fred R. Reed of Boise,
Idaho, commissioner from his
state to Panama-Pacific exposi-
ton, has instituted a movement
having for it's ultimate object the
settlement and cultivation of
vast areas of land in western
states now virgin to the plow,
He has interested officials of the
trans-continental railroads in the
project and a conference with
their representatives will be held
the present week, says a dis
patch from San Francisco. Major
Reed expects to have the move
ment we'll under way by the end
of the year.
1t is the intention of the Idaho
commissioner, after obtaining
the railroad companies indorse-
ment of his plan, to bring about
a conference of governors of the
western states, which will re-
suit in a systematized modus
operandi. In each state the
land available for settlement,
whether owned by the federal
government, the state or indi-
viduals will be listed, with the
terms of payment, etc. If the
land must be purchased, instead
of being acquired by homestead
entry, it will be sought to have
the terms of payment extend
over a period of Is to Is years,
and to procure free transporta-
ton for the prospective settler.
There are in the western
states," said Major Reed, mil
lions of acres of fertile land
lying idle, while many thous-
ands of Industrious Americans
would eagerly take up the culti-
walton Of these tracts if only
they were given the needed
start. This plan has been tried
in Canada with such success that
the great northwest has been
settled with an excellent class
of husbandmen.
What has prevented the set
tlement of our western country
by men of small means has been
the difficulty of keeping them on
the land until it began to yield
returns. | believe that in each
state fund can be raised to
tide the settlers over this period,
with a capable organization
to handle the project. If we
} can raise large sums for starv-
) ing foreigners, we surely should
be able to do something for our
own people, when the money re-
quired would remain right here
and be employed in state devel-
opment."

HALF THE WORLD
IN BLOODY WAR

With the admission of Turkey
and Portugal to the ranks Of the
belligerents, the area of hostil-
tiles has been extended to ap-
proximately So per cent of the
land surface of the globe, and
about Sc per cent of the total
population of the earth must be
classed as technically belligerent,
says the London Daily Chronicle.
In round numbers, out of a
total land surface of 81, 100000
square miles (excluding the un-
inhabitable regions in the Artic
and Antartic) 30,000,000 square
miles is occupied by the II bel
ligerent powers, and about L.
0OO,O 600, 600 of the 1,S00, 000,0 900
human beings on earth are di-
rectly Involved in the great war.
Apportioning the area and
population between the two op-
posing groups, it will be found
that there is a vast preponder-
ance of both on the side of Brit
ain and her allies, which own
27, 500, 900 square miles and have
about S40,000,000 people under
their rule, against 1000, 900
square miles and 100000, 600
people to the credit of Germany,
Austri- Hungary and Turkey.
If the affected areas are an
alysed by continents, it will be
found that in Europe 3,040, 600
square miles out of a total area
of 3. $50, 600 and also $50, 600, OOC
people out of ATS, 900, ,000-o
nearly 80 per cent in both cases
are at war.
In Asia the belligerent area
amounts to $500, 600 square
miles, Oeaving out Of account
the interior of Arabia "a politica]
no-man's land, Of about a million
square miles) the total area of
the continent being about 16,
500, 600 square miles. Hence
over Sc per cent is at war. OF
the population of Asia rs, 900, 000
out of $50, 10000 0-say 48 IL
per cent must be classed as
belligerent.
Africa is, proportionately, even
more effected than Europe.
About 10,3O0,000 square miles
out of II, 10000 nearly 80 pei
cent t-are at war. The only
neutral regions are the Italian
and Spanish colonies, and the
native States of Abyssina anc
Liberia.
Curiously enough, Australasia
and Oceania, although the most
remote from the primary zone
of hostilities, have the highest
percentage Of belligerancy Of
any of the continental divisions
of the earth, over 95 per cent in
area and 49 per cent in popu.
lation.
South America occupies the
happiest position of all. Out OF
} an area of over $500, GOO square
miles and a population of So,
500, 600 only l28, 500 square miles
of territory and 100000 human
beings are subject to any of the
, cOmhatants.
