FOR THE MILK RIVER RANGE – It is estimated that about
30,000 head of cattle from Idaho, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico will
be turned on the Milk River Range this season. The ranges of Montana
are becoming narrowed down on account of the rapidity with which its
agricultural resources are being developed, and the Milk river valley
may now be said to be the only great pasture land in the state. That
the proposed influx of cattle will tax the the ranges of this valley
cannot be denied, and stockmen express some fear that should the
present season be a dry one, the ranges will not accommodate the vast
bands of cattle that will be thrown upon them. Following are the
names of the Stockmen who intend increasing their herds during the
present season, with the number of cattle they contemplate bringing
in:
Con Kohrs, 8,000; C.W. Price, 3,000; Benton and St. Louis
Cattle Co., 1,000; Robert Coburn 4,000; J. Sieben, 1,000; Mmes. Ford
and Hill, 1,000; D.A.G. Floweree, 1,500 yearlings; C.J. McNamara
1,000; Geo. Bowers, 1,000; Stadler and Kaufman, 1,000; Preuitt &
Phelps, 1,000; P.O. Brewster, 2,500; Colin Hunter, 5,000; Bloom
Cattle Co. 5,000. In the latter two cases the cattle come from New
Mexico and Arizona. In most of the other cases the new arrivals come
from Idaho and Utah.
