Pierpont Morgan, in answer to ques tions put by counsel for the Kentucky railroad commission, said that he con sidered Mr. Gates a "dangerous man" in railroad finances. George W. Perkins and others of the 'firm of J. P. Morgan & Co made ues of a similar expression. Their testimony went to show that the Mor gan activity in tho settlement follow ing the Louisville & Nashville coup executed by Gates was based upon the belief that it was necessary to the preservation ot tho financial sta bility of tho railroads of the country that the control ot tho Loulsvillo & N'ashvlllu bo not left In Mr. Gates' hands.

Tho British roads killed 1.- 277 persons and Injured 18,375. No less than 4,959 of tho persons killed In this country anil 5,420 of thoso In jured were struck by trains.

Sheep mny now grnzo upon tho for est reserves of Grant, Crook and Uma tilla counties. Such Is thu text of a proclamation recently Issued by tho department of the Interior. To say this permission Is pleasing to sheepmen Is placing It but mildly. Lnst season the government caused notices to bo posted upon theso re serves, warning sheopmen to koop tholr flocks off.

If anything tho feud between cuttlo and sheepmen will bo more bitter thlB year than In preceding years. Tho loss of ninny sheep through cold weather Is attributed by stockmen to nothing but carelessness und stingy principles on tho part of sheepmen in not providing sufficient hay. Upon tho other linnd thu sheopmen sny If tho eattlo hud not hogged every blndo of grnss In thu country, sheep might havo thrived on an equality. In Grant county tho owners of flocks huvo taxed themselves two cents u head for tho purpose ot hiring men to rido tho ranges nnd protect tholr herds from slaughter by coyotes but ostensibly to assist them In other wnys, which has been construed to menu In strifes with tholr onumles, tho cattlemen.
