COAST STATES CATTLE
GRAZING IN MONTANA

Thousands of head of cattle from
western Montana, northern Idaho,
and from many sections of the states
of Washington and Oregon will be
shipped into southeastern Montana to
Craze on the luxuriant grass grow
ing abundantly on the table lands
and in the valleys, according to J. c..
Taylor, of Bozeman, state leader of
county agents who recently visited
that section of the state to confer with
bankers and ranchers, discussing
with them the possibilities of larger
shipments from regions where the
drouth conditions have prevailed,
creating a shortage of feed anc max
ing the movement of cattle necessary.
1t has developed, as result of this
conference that the stock of Custer
county alone will be unable to con
sumo all of the grass and harvested
hay, and it is because of this fact
that shipments to the ranges there
are considered.
Mr.. Taylor announced that approx
$4,000 head of cattle and
many thousand head of sheep must
be moved out of some of the western
regions. The drouth has been most
severe and pasture must be found for
this livestock. He considers that
Custer county is one of the best win
ter pasture prospects in the state.
The movement of stock from these
areas is expected to start at |
once.

Beaverhead Clip is 100000.

Wool clips have been pouring into
the First National warehouse at
Dillon during the past month Ex-
perts estimated the clip in Beaver
head county at between 100000
and 100000 pounds. Shearing is
about completed.
No unusual activity has been not
ed in the local market, though a
large number of buyers are making
their headquarters here. There has
been but one clean sale. E. F. Price
last week disposed of his clip to J.
E. Hample, buyer for the jeremiah
Williams company of Boston, the
price being announced as 40 cents.
The j. E. Morse clip, one of the
largest in the county has been con
signed to the Jones & Donald Co.

ssBigfoots % One of The
Largest of Wolves has
been Captured Stock
Growers are Jubilant

Bigfoot, one of the largest and
most destructive gray wolves ever
reported has finally been caught.
The animal was about 20. years old
and weighed 140 pounds. He
measured six feet, nine inches long
and was about three feet high.
1t seems that he was raised down
on Indian creek about three miles
south of Buffalo, Wyoming. From
there he went to Barber creek, then
to Cowhlde creek, and from there to
the Devils Tower region. After
leaving the latter place he remained
a while on Deffenbaugh creek before
going to the region of Gillette where
he was captured recently by govern
ment trapper, Charles Freel.
One rancher affirms that aBigfoot"
killed over ten head of cattle for him,
and another farmer lost about SO
head from the same source. For
another he killed IA calves in one
night and is known to have killed 80
sheep in two days at another ranch.
AS souvenirs of his fighting career
he carried many scars. The left eye
was gone, part of his tail and a toe
from his left hind foot were missing.
His tusks were considerably worn
1oWn but, even so, they measured
.wo inches.
A conservative estimate of the
iamage to livestock would be around |
For fifteen years deter
mined and repeated efforts have been
made to capture "Bigfoot" but years
'nly seemed to increase his almost
human cunning and intelligence.

CUSTER FRUIT RAISING TEST
is CROWNED WITH SUCCESS

Experimenting in the raising of
fruits of various kinds on irrigated
land, J. R. Raynard of Miles City has
demonstrated that it is possible to
make a success of raising apples,
cherries, plums, grapes, raspberries,
currants, gooseberries, mulberries,
and cranberries. His orchard which
is of considerable size, is attracting
wide attention.
Mr.. Raynard plans on placing much
of his fruit on exhibition during the
fall at the various fairs of the coun-
try. His currants, he said did ex-
ceptionally well this year, picking as
many as four gallons off some of the
bushes. He has IL varieties of APP
pies, two of cherries and II of plums.

Montana to Furnish $50, 900 Poles

In the next ten years 10000 ce-
dar telephone and power poles are
expected to be shipped from Bolton,
the western entrance of the Glacier
National park on the Great Northern
railway, by the G.. w. Slack COM
pany of Kalispell. The company is
understood to be planning to install
a creosote plant at Bolton soon, to
treat the poles. The poles will be
cut along the western edge of the
park. Shipping has already been
started of untreated poles for the
general market.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE BOARD
FINDS FARM PRODUCTS
RATES FAIR.
State that Benefit Which Would Ac-
crue From Such Reduction Would
Be Small Compared With the Eff
fects Upon Railroad Revenues.

Reductions in western railroad
rates on grain, grain products and
hay, sought by 10 states of the Mis-
sippi-Missouri valley cereal growing
region, under the leadership of
Kansas and supported by most of
the farm organizations concerned,
has been definitely refused by the
interstate commerce commission.
At the same time, the commission
decided that the results of an indie
pendent investigation it had con-
Quoted into the levels of rates on
these same products, in all sections
of the United States, had determined
no need for any changes, and pro-
ceedings before it bearing upon both
issues were dismissed.
Recent Grain Advance
Some grain men today estimated
that upward of $1,000,00O,0O0 has
been added to the agricultural
wealth of the country as result of
grain advances in the past month.
At the same time many millions of
dollars have been received by farm |
ers of the Canadian northwest where
wheat prices advanced AZ cents a |
bushel, as compared with nearly 80
cents in the United States.
Average Benefits small
The benefit which would accure to
the average farmer in case of reduc-
tion in freight rates on grain and
grain products generally is small,
compared with the disastrous effect
on certain railroads" revenues, and
on their credit, it was declared today
in an opinion handed down by the
interstate commerce commission. The
commission held also that the general ..
basis of rates for transportation of
grain, grain products and hay are
not unreasonable or otherwise in vi
olation of the interstate commerce -,
act and the complaint was dismissed.
An investigation previously ordered |,
was discontinued.

which were adopted.
Discussion of methods to carry out
the present rigid livestock inspection
regulations looking to the prevention
of infection of Montana stock, and
plans to promote statewide pro-

number of years, as permitted un-
der the state law, the levy for the
present year will be but l MILL ac-
cording to a recommendation to the
state board of equalization made by
the Montana livestock commission.
This levy will raise about $4,000.
The commission highly commended
the work of r. E. Bateman of Bill
lings, chief of the biological survey
in the destruction of predatory ami
mails, with which survey the COM
mission and the fish and game com
mission now has cooperative work
ing agreement. The commission
found that the work done consider
ing the money and force at Mr..
command, was highly sat
isfactory. His report, for the past
winter season, showed that 1862
ounces of processed strychnine poi
son had been distributed in Mon
tana and the known results were

MONTANA RANGES ARE
CLOSED TO CALIFORNIA
CATTLE, RULES BOARD

| While Montana is very much in
sympathy with the stockmen of Cal
| ifornia because of the feed shortage
that exists in that state, it would
be foolhardy for this state to open
up its doors to cattle from California
in view of the foot and mouth dis
ease condition that exists there, says
DR.. Howard WEIGH, veterinarian at
Montana State College.
There is continued discussion of the
possibility of bringing cattle from
California on to Montanas we'll
erased ranges but the stand of the
State Live Stock Sanitary Board is
we'll taken in refusing to consider
such matter says DR.. WEIGH
Montana, nor any other state can
afford to take unnecessary chances
in matters of this kind. Such a move
would jeopardize the livestock indus
try of this state and of the entire
country and it would offer an oppor-
tunity for the disease to escape from |
the confined area in which it has
been restricted and where apparently |
t has been brought under control. A
little laxity in retaining control of
he disease situation now might undo
Ill the good work that has already /
been done in wiping out the the
sources of infection.

commissions own motion, was made
general, affecting all the railroad and
all the grain rates in the country.
The opinion said that per car, per
car-mile and per ton-mile earnings
on grain, compared with other classes
OF traffic and with all carload traffic,
did not show that grain and its pro-
ducts were contributing more than
their fair share to the revenue of the
carriers in this group, considering the
alue of the traffic, the average hauls,
the relative services performed, and
the ratio of revenue produced by
grain and grain products to total car
load revenues compared with former
years.
Present Rates Reasonable
AS to the United States as whole,
the decision said that rates on grain
and grain products and hay were rea-
Sonable and no desirability of even
local or regional adjustments was
seen.
There has ben a slow but progress
'1ve improvement in the condition of
agriculture in the western group since
1921, the commission said, adding.
however, that the improvement in the
grain growing areas was less than in
others. The record of the case, it
leld, gave no assurance that there
would be such further increases in
operating expenses in the immediate |
uture to enable the railroad to earn |
N excess over a fair return.
Commissioner Lewis, in a dissent
ng opinion, contended that the rates
n grain, and particularly wheat, had
cen thrown out of proper proper
ion to other rates since the war. The
commission, he declared, so recogniz-
d three years ago when lower rates
ere granted for grain and hay, but
MS reduction, he added, was, vir
lally wiped out two years ago, when
ne commission applied the 10 per
emit reduction to other freight.

.SEVREs Vases
HERE GOOD
EXAMPLES
Pieces in White House and
National Museum High !
Iy Priced

Sevres vases of which a number
Of specimens are In the White
House and at the National Museum
are among the finest and highest
priced productions of French
ceramic art. The vases are among
the most celebrated pieces issued
by this historic factory.
When only soft porcelain was
made at Sevres it was not possible
to achieve very large pieces. The
most beautiful of them are in the
Wallace Collection at Hartford
House. Among them are Duplessis'
vases on which four medallions Of
cupids playing among the clouds
stand out upon a beautiful green
ground; and the Vase Vaisseau a
Mat, with its medallions upon a
royal-blue ground, its grotesgue
Iion.masks to right and left, it's
white flag strewn with fleurs-de.lys,
its birds SO charmingly painted
with blue framework.
Another important piece in this
same collection is the inkstand of
Marie Leczinlsa. The ink.pot cover.
ed with a royal crown, stands upon
an oval tray, the green ground Of
which is crossed by four white
bands, leaving two medallions on
which are depicted cupids holding
crowns.
To mention some other celebrated
examples of this series; there are
the Vase Ovale with goats heads;
the Vase Militaire ornamented with
flags; the Vase AUX Tritons sup.
ported by three tritons modelled by
Delarue; the Vase a Anses, with
elephants heads forming the
handles; the Vase Ruche d'Abeilles

celebrated sculptor; the Vase Paris,
one Of the largest in size; the Vase
Bachelor des SEASONS with twisted

Vase Comete. At the same time
as these vases, Sevres was also
producing jardinieres, baskets,

SeVre pieces. In these large vases
the same alterations of forms and
styles in the services may be per-
ceived: progressive evolution from
the styled a: cequille towards the
severer and straighter style Of the
Directory and the Empire. Under
the latter regime Scores produced
fair number of great vases.
