Stockman decries cattle dipping rules in Mont
A June 20 1908 letter from Bert Orr of Whitelash Montana to the Havre Plaindealer argues that small Montana stock owners bear the burden of cattle dipping regulations. He notes widespread dipping cost and limited benefits, cites Chicago quarantine losses, and claims dipping in St Paul will not aid cattle roaming the Montana ranges. He urges relief and outlines submitting applications to Senators Carter Dixon or Representative Pray for bureau action.
