First Consignment Of 5000 Arrived
the Past Week
More Are Expected to Arrive. Must be
Moved from Montana or Starve
for Want of Grasses.

The excellent feeding which
is to be found on the cut over
lands of Bayfield, county in go
ing to be the means Of saving a
lot Of Montana sheep which
otherwise would have starved
had they been left in the
drought struck regions of the
western state.
The first consignment OF 5000
arrived at Mason during the
past week and have been placed
on cut over lands owned by the
Bayfield, Investment company.
This company offered to furnish
the land free of charge to the
Montana rancher and the offer
wat Immediately accepted.
County Agent Brubaker, who
is working with the State
authorities in looking after the
details of placing the sheep,
said that they were in very poor
condition when they arrived and
many were so weak that that
they could hardly but after a
weeks feeding on the Bayfield,
county grasses they are be
ginning to pick up,
Arrangements have been made
by the County Agent for taking
care Of upwards Of %, 900 sheep
in Bayfield, county and other
consignments are expected to
arrive during the next two
weeks. The sheep are placed on
cut-over lands where they are
placed III charge of herders and
they will be kept here until fall
when they will be ready for the
market.
The Montana grazing lands
were hard hit by the drought OF
the past few weeks and the
sheep had to be moved in order
to save them. Many counties in
northern Wisconsin offered to
furnish land free Of charge to
the Montana ranchers and the
offers have been accepted.
The cut over lands of Northern
Wisconsin furnish excellent
feeding grounds for sheep and
after feeding on the grasses
dnring the summer they can be
placed on the market next fall
in excellent condition. The
drought Of Montana is going to
be the means of demonstrating
to the Montana ranchers the
value Of the North Wisconsin
region and besides saving many
Of the animalsit is going to open
the eyes of the sheep raisers as
to the possibilities offered here
FOR the raising of sheep.

hues or the general becomingness of the new

Paris has favored long suit jackets, but in
America this fashion edict is binding only
to the extent that one may wear the length
jacket in which one looks the best. The same
latitude oc convenince may also be expressed
in the choice of collar and trimmings.
Suits made of Tricotine, Silvertone, Serge,
Golfex and Mixtures represent wonderful

FIGHT Ar PETRoGRAD
5ombard city-British Capture
krondstadt Fortress.

London, Oct. 20.-Gen. Yuden1tch
has captured Krasno Selo and Cat
china, south of Petrograd, where he
asked that the northwestern Russian
army refrain from shelling Petrograd,
and pledging If this promise was given
to join the antibolsheviki, according
to a Helsingfors dispatch received
here. Forces of the soviet government
of Russia. are, according to latest
advices, still desperately defending
the city, toward which antibolshevik
troops have been advancing since Oct.
IL. Confirmation of dispatches tell
ing of the fall of the former Russian
capital has not been received in Off
cial quarters here. The army COM
mended by Gen. Yudenitch is within a
comparatively short distance of the
city, but the rapidity of its advance
during the first days of offensive does
not seem to have been maintained.
The white flag was hoisted over the
bolshevik fortress of Krondstadt on
Friday night, according to a Helsing-
fors dispatch quoting Finnish general
staff report.
London, Oct. 18.-Krondstadt, the
great fortress standing sentinel at the
gate of Petrograd, the former Russian
capital, has capitulated to British naval
forces, which, after a terrific lombard
ment, entered the place. The fall of
this bastion of the defenses of Petro-
grad appears to seal the fate of the
city.
