associates were buying horses for the
British in the Boer war, another Eng
lishman, then plain Oliver Wallop, but
since 1925 Earl of Portsmouth, had a
similar contract in Montana and Wy
oming. He was associated in this EN-
terprise with the Montcrieff brothers,
also from the British Isles. Wallop
and the Montcrieffs at that time were
ranchers neal Sheridan, Wyo. The
Montcrieffs are still there, engaged in
farming and raising purebred cattle
and horses, but after much indecision,
Wallop, called to the earldom by the
death of his brother, gave up his Amer
lean citizenship to claim the wide Eng
lish domains of his family.
Wallop, then merely a younger son,
came to Montana in the '80s and built
up a horse ranch on Otter creek III
the Powder river country, 20 miles
south of Ashland. 1t is related of him
that once he CHANGED mon a band of
hostile Sioux. He walked up to the
chief, handed him his rifle and cart
ridges and then rolled up in his blan-
ket and slept as if his life and belong
ings were in safe hands. His demeanor
won the friendship of the hostiles.
OF a more sociable type than Low
ther, he became quite a political factor
in Wyoming in carrying through meas
ures in which he was interested. One
was the creation of an elk preserve
and he won out in spite of spirited OPP
position, including that of a Mormon
bishop who hurled a dictionary, or, ac-
cording to one story, a Bible, at him
in a committee meeting. Wallop was
interested in polo playing and in breed
ing polo ponies. Lowther went occa-
sionally to take part in the polo play
ing and other sport activities of the
English colony.
Married Kentucky Girl
The wife of the earl is a Kentucky
girl, TO whom he was married in Chi
cago in the COS and who has shared
with him hardship and %privation in
the lean years in Wyoming. His Amer
ican-born eldest son and heir, now Wis
count Huntington, married a Long Is
land girl. The two sons served in the
English army in the World war, while
their father and mother were both in
hospital service.
The list of members of noble or
wealthy English families who came TO
NAoiiouiiG di4O WyOillillS W OCIOlilN
ranchers is a long one. In the Powder
river country was Captain Neate and
S. Ct. Kerwin, also like Wallop, inter-
ested in raising horses, importing
Shire and coach stations in a day
when the demand for driving horses as
well as draft horses was large.
Sam Gordon, early day Miles City
newspaper man, tells in his "Reminis-
cences of Milestown'' of the many re-
mittance men," younger sons of titled
families, who were sent out to the
ranches in which their families had
an interest. One of these men, Sid
Paget, was q familiar figure about
Miles City, where there were many

six miles below what is now Roundup.
j. H. Hightower, a Texan, with an
Englishman named Hill, had estab-
lished the ranch in 1883. NF, the
Lowther and Clifton brand, was de-
rived from Northfields, a designation
given in Hightower's time. Associated
later with Hightower were the Battam
brothers, also from England. The Bat
tam brothers with Joe Asbridge, later
United States marshal, afterwards built
up a ranch at the head Of Willow creek
in the Snowy mountains. Hightower,
after remaining several years as man.
ager, went into Canada and was later
engaged in ranching there.
According to Robert Leavens, state
representative from Yellowstone coun-
ty, who has looked after the firms
business TO a large extent OF recent
years, some of the ranch buildings now
standing were built by Hightower in
1883. The headquarters was a large
log house with a sod roof and divided
into several large rooms. Clifton and
Lowther, both bachelors, occupied sep
arate quarters at opposite sides of the
building.
Tastes Quite Different
The tastes of the two men were quite
different in some respects. Clifton was
an enthusiastic poultry fancier and
had 1uite a number of fancy chickens
on thS place and, in place of riding
the range, devoted much of his atten-
ton to improving his fine strains OF
poultry. He had also considerable tai
ent as a musician and was especially
noted as a piano player.

ern belts. There may have been a
little selling on the relatively easy show
ing of Liverpool, but offerings were
comparatively light and the market
showed increasing Steadiness after the
publication of the weather map, which
according to local map readers held
out no promise of a break in the Gen.
trail and Western drouth.
At the end of the first half hour,
the market was about to 16 points
net higher, with the more active new
crop positions showing net advances of
8 to 16 points. Notices estimated at
1000 bales caused a little liquidation
of July which sold at 1903 during
the early trading, while the new De-
cember was selling at 1920. Liverpool
cables said that continental selling had
offset local and foreign buying in that
market.
Buying increased after publication of
the official forecasts, which pointed to
continued dry weather in Western and
Central belt sections July was rela-
lively quiet, but advanced to 1912, or
Is points net higher, while new crop
positions sold about 20 to "a points
above yesterdays closing quotations,
with the new october advancing to
1910. Realizing by recent buyers
checked the advance at these figures
and caused some irregularity, but the
market was steady at midday and
within or points of the best on
the more active new crop positions.

ports that the company had concluded

IMPROVED LABOR

Seasonal outdoor activities are rapidly

the most significant note was struck by

In the steel region that the automobile
manufacturers had already made def

crease output and to put on more men

1t Is quite true that automobile
production this year has been well UNI

reason to believe that from this time on
production, which is closely adjusted to
sales at present will equal or exceed
that for the last half Of last year. In

cucers, sales to customers were 10000

Industry at a high rate of output

The railroads are increasing their car

 There will be hundred men or more prospecting in the Poorman district. This country is large and will stand lot of prospecting. The chances are that no bonanzas will be struck, but I am of the opinion that by spring the Ruby district will be larger producer than it has been for years.
 The people here are optimistic and are. just waiting for cold weather so as to begin. prospecting in earnest.
