STOCK NEVER in
BETTER CONDITION.
SAYS RAILROAD MAN

j. H. Griffin, division freight agent
for the Northern Pacific road in this
city, returned last night from a trip
through the eastern part of Montana
with q very optimistic view as to the
condition Of the country at the pres
ent time. In speaking of the weather,
MI. Griffin said that it was like spring
in Montana and that every farmer
was preparing for the beginning Of his
spring work. The stock of the coun-
try was never in better condition and
he said that this was due to the light
winter that Montana enjoyed, for if
the winter had been severe the stock
would have been in a very poor con-
dition because feed was so scarce.
The farmers throughout Montana
have taken advantage of the rates
