Eiiros~ Amnts-'l'he Lower Judith
Wool Growers' Association held its
s,-cond annual meeting on Saturday,
the 4th inst., at the home of the secre
tary, IDavid Hilger, on I)og Creek.
Nacrly all the wool growers in the dis.
trict were present. The officers of the
Assaciation were all unanimously re.
elected.
It would have been well if some of
those living about our towns or county
seats, who think sheep men and cow
boys on our frontiers are all "gump
heads," had been present to witness
the able and orderly manner in which
this meeting was conducted, which was
according to the strictest parliamentary
rules, with this difference: that each
member was allowed ten minutes to
give his views and experience-as his
name was called-on the various qlues
tioas before the meeting, as they came
up in their order for discussion; and
the writer must say that he never met
a body of practical men that were, one
and all, so able to give their views,
opilnions and experiences so clearly,
distinctly and intelligently on the sev
eral suljects that came before them.
Of coulre they were all talking about
matters that they ware familiar with
and had made a study of, and yet on
some subjects there was a great diver
' ity of opinion, particularly on the
'minsagement (of sheep during the
ianiibing season; no two following ex
actly the same practice, much depend
ing on lokation, conveniences, charac
iter and condition of sheep, and a
gre.t deal on the men theniselves.
Onle iman will go among any kind of
domestic animals and they will hardly
move out of his way, while they will
rt,n at the approach of another. One
thing. however, that the writer gathered
fromn the general discussion, that
mothers and lambs can hardly have
It ,,, much care and attention of the
imroiner kind. -
Anlotner Iaatter tnat was uia:u-scu As
length was the subject of wages. One
owner stated that eight years ago his
wool, in bad condition, netted him 29
cents, and he paid his herders V4o,
now lie pays his herders the same while
his wool, of much better quality and
put up in much letter condition, nets
him only ist cents; that nearly every
thing else had come down in the same
ptoulortion, and that 30Jo ow was
mnore than r ao then. A second said
Swxl herders could hardly ie paid too
inoch, while a third claimsed that old,
experienced herders often necome
careless, and that he had lust more
sheep ,by them than he had by 'pilg
1 ian" herders. (in the whole thr gecn
:,l enttillellt o"n t11. Imeeting Was,
that at the present price o* wool. $0;o
was all they could atford to pay, but
.as they did nut like to reduce the
wages of goodl men they would pa) 835
tfr the present. The writer-an out
silder-never heard a bowly of men ex
press so much sympathy for their
employcs, it sounded more likea meet
ing of sisep herders than ane of wool
growers.
Although the time was. srent very
nldustriously, a few hours ih the mid
a,!e of one day was not cnx.hll to dis
cuss all the matters caanarected with
this important industry.
There is an "irrepressili' contlict"
gsing on quietly letwedal heep andl
a,.ttle Imen that should have Itwen dis
c·ussed. ('attle ilenr claite: that herders
,lg their cattle and keep theil from
the few watering plaace, there is on
some parts of the rai:ge during the
ulunller months. The writer has seen
two sheep dogs run a band of range
cattle, at top speed, user tour miles.
Ithi, enrages cattle lnes and some day
iay indace then to use ultwr "little
p- staols" on the trespha.ring , alnIae; as
it is, they put outt onaot t .r wolves.
andl as sheep dogs also i:jure tiheir cat
tce they are not so p:rtlautar where
they put it; then sheep uen loose their
dogs and this creates hal te eling. (ine
wal grower on ltH\ Eltker lost .1 Shep
herld dag. not long ago, by piemn, that
would hta. e beein che.rp :t $s ne. The
writer thinks the sheep men are to
blal.se tr this state of thana; them
sCel es; they ought to know t at they
h ate no exclustse right on the publich
donituin, or to dlog stock away froam
aluballcs water .r further bo a their
ranlge thatn is really nlecessy; then

to bring their sheep to, the farmers' ,
door? These mild.mannered sheep t
men are good fellows, generally, and I
their visits are always welcomed by our
farmers and stock men, but they don't
like to have them bring their sheep
with them. The writer saw three dif
ferent bands at one time last summer,
from his own door, none of them more
than a hundred yards from his fence,
and has not a good place for seeing
sheep, either. O.1.,wvcan.

EIrous Aimuts - The Husbandman
of the StIth of March says: "The fun
niest part about the division of Meagher
and the creation of Fergus county, is
the total failure to make any provision
for representation in the next legisla
tulre.' The original representation bill
made no provision for representation
in Fergus county, but as soon as the
division bill passed, I introduced an
amendment giving each county one rep
resentative and the two counties a joint
councilman. If this bill is not the law
it must have been lost or mislaid in the
"grand rush," when so many bills were
lassed both houses on the last day.
Sthink both (ranville tStuart and Will
tutherlin were in the council when the
change was made.
JAMES FEaRaa's.
it,: Et.t, March 30th, 't3.
Eil'roRs Alits.-- In the apportion-.
mlenlt bill that inissed the council, Fergus
county wai, of course, left out, as the
Fergui county bill had not passed the
house. When the apportionment bill
came into the house it was passed to
general ordersm-- that it might be
amended by the members of Meagher
to include Fergun. It was late in the
session and many bills on orders ahead
of it. We attempted to call it tip the
last niaht of the session in order to
amend to include Fergus and get it
I passed. We faikdl to find votes enough
:and the bill died on the hooks. e
I expected to give Fergus one represen
tative anid a joint councilmanl, with
Meagher. ItRspectfully,
ti. M. HATCIt.
IUT IN THE COL. A
EFtrow s An;t's-In your issue of 0
March 26 you seem to think that no I
complication need arise through the ir
defect in the bill for an act to create rn
the County of Fergus in not providing
for members of the legislature from it
said county in the apportionment bilL
You say: 'that the commissioners of
Meagher county can include members
of the legislative assembly in their C
call for election, while the 15th assem
bly will, beyond a doubt. confirm the t1
action and seat the members elect." d
You are clearly mistaken as you c
will notice by perusing Chap. 329. ses- M
sion II, Forty-fifth Congress, which s
reads as follows: ",'lhat fronl and after ,
the adjournment of theb next session I
ot the several territorial legislatures..
the council of each of the enmtories
of the U. S. shall not exceed twelve
memlbers, and the house of represen
tatives of each shall not exceed twenty
four members, etc." This would leave
Fergus county out in the cold and
could only be tenmtdied by act of con
gress, or by an act of our legislature I
in special session. changing the appor
tionment. Y\ours Truly,
I,. Rorwrr.
Outside of tai quoting us regarding ý
,commissioners calling election, we
having relerence to cnnmnissioners of
lhergus instead of Meagher county. I.. i
I Rotwitt is correct. t bhr view was
that of justice. vii: as Fergus county ,
was created by dividing Mleaghcr. by i
such division it would lose one repre
sentative, thus creating a vacancy in
the assembly to bie filled by the ele- c
tor, of :ergus. I laI the apportion
en-nt bill Lecn ih.ngeI at the late
.,csion it would have been to that
etit-ct with a jo int councihnan. S.uch
bcing the case, should there be no

would .hnow the right spirit on the part
of lceagher county to c!cct but one

It proved a treat, indeed.
The subject for debate: "Rleolvel.
that gamoling is a vice and should be
prohibited by law," was ably nrgued by
Ed. 1)e Frate, afllirmaiti'e and L.. Roh
rts, negative, bllth disputants being
assisted by members and visiting
friends of the society. Though the
judges awarded the palm to the affirm
ative, notwithstanding the fact that
Mr. Roberts was talking against his
ownl convictions, had he refrained from
conceding that gambling was a vice,
the honor would have been his--we
have the judges word for it.
Master Hertop's recitation was de
livered in a creditable manner and
appreciated.
Steveral songs were rendered, after
which Mr. Lew Roberts, editor of the
society M$. paper, "The Porcupine,"
entertained the audience with a full
fledged newspaper, containing all the
features known to modern journalism,
and worthy of a much greater constitu
ency than that contined within the four
walls of the school-house. His wel
come to us to the sanctum of "The
Porcupine" and liberal offer of free
instructions in the "pencdl pushing
business," was appreciated by us as
wellas the audience. When in Maiden,
remember that our sanctum is at your
pleasure, and a cordial welcome. While
the paper is deserving of the potency
of printer's ink the society is entitled
to a long useful existence.
*iMa TerMNls
At last active steps are being takes
to secure a title to the present town
site of Maiden. A petition to Hun.
B. W. Badger, Judge of Probate, signed
by the property holders of Maiden,
then attending court at the Springs,
arrived here in Saturday's mail, asoom
panied by a letter from W. T. McFar
land, urging prompt action in securing
the signatures of property owners.
A couple of our citisens took hold of
the matter at once and secured the
name of nearly ever property holder
in town, although a majority only, is
required.
There is an impression preval W
here alnd at the countv-seat, that li
town-site is on the military reservati4
but blr. McFarland says such is not tit
case, as can be showan by the military
survey. It is high time to determine
the matter at any rate. A quit-claim
deed for real estate transfers is all that
clan be obtained at present. A title
will necessitate a survey of the town
site ,andl enalle lot ownersl to get a
warr:nttet del of their property
by depositing the sumti of $10 with the
problate judge fur each lot claimedt

cost of en-tering, sutrveyilng anld plattiang
