The prospect of crop of calves and fat to fall has inspired the cattle owr crease their herds many of outfits have had representatives buying herds to put on the range in ing this while many of our ranchmen are buying in small lots and ship ping in. The horse round-up, which is the first move in the spring, is bemng arranged for and this followed by the general round-up. In our farming districts the rc ports are equally as good and they report as having fed but httle and no loss. e sheep men north and west in the Big Horn basin all join_in glowing reports as to the healthy condition of the sheep business. We have land in northern Wyoming that is not adapted for farming but is just what is required for a good sheep ranch™ and range. State Senator Joel L. fHurt of Casper and Hon. J.B. Okie of Lost Cabin, twoof the lead ing sh 'n of the state, were in Cheyenne the other day. They say there is nothing in the at there is_danger of overdoing the sheep business in Wyoming Said ( ‘I know of no overcrowded range. Ido know that the Big Horn basin affords the best shee nge in the world. Tt has 9,000 square mi Of this 5,000 is not used.” Mr. Hurt says: “I think I know some. thing about the busmess and situation in Wyoming. 1 do not exaggerate when I say that between my range and the northern of the state there is room for 1,000,000 heep.” rdiie to Mr. Okie the United States produces but one-third of its wool, danger of crowding the market is extremely remote.

R. Tillman, governor of R. Tillman, wholesale dealer inand dis- penser of wines, liquors, beer and all kinds of intoxicating drinks and inci- dentally governor of the state. The supreme power of the new order of things alcoholic will be vested in a state board of control, consisting of the governor, the comptroller general and the attorney general.

As there is but one way to test whisky, and that by tasting, it may be naturally concluded that the governor will have quite a time of it before he gets back, especially considering the fact that he has never been much addicted to the use of strong drink of any kind. When his excellency gets back from his sampling expedition, he will imme- diately set about to choose the right kind of mén to whom should be intrusted the most important office of guarding and dispensing the wares of the state bar rooms, I will look to all these little points himself. At some time in the near future the chief executive will | visit every town and city in the state to choose the proper person to conduet the dispensaries and the most_advantageous place for their location. This last will be an all-important matter in the con- auet of the business, for the dispensaries will have to be put in such places that they will be able successfully to e pete with the blind tig with w every m.mm will abound.

Whisky will shipped in rice barrels and cheese boxes wd lard firkins and every other wble kind of shape. It will, in fact be a return to the old system of blockad running so largely practiced here durin, the '60s. Some considerable trouble antici- pated at the very outset of the new sys- tem. By the terms of the novel law only ment of the disy is supposed it will be more than self-sup- porting thereafter. A glance at the fig- ures will show that this amount will be far too small to start the dispensaries on business principles and purchase the necessary stock of liquor, At the ve lowest estimate it will take 100 barrels of rye at a barrel, and the bettc grade at 110 a barrel: then in corn liguor 500 barrels would be but a “‘drop in the bucket it will be seen that if these estimates are in any way correct the $50,000 would be more than pended in the purchase of these few | brands. 1t is the purpose of the dispen- savies to handle every class of goods for which there is any demand. So th state will evidently have to begin on credit basis. But the the rub, the wholesale liquor dealers arve agreed that crediting the state of South Caro- ling just now is rather risky, and espec | fally as the government cannot be sued, In addition, they contend that the law will he droppedin a short time, and if th sell to the state bar room the local dealers will certainly boyeott them when the day tribulation is past and the orig- inal cafe comes into vogue once more.
