such rales as may be maintained. which

This is the natural home for cattle.
From early spring until the middle of
October or the first of November the
herds of farmers and stock raiser's
wander leisurely through the green
nutricious grasses that brush their
sides in open meadows that are bound

kind. The abundant grasses, pure wa
tiers and warm climate render this por-
ton of Kansas the finest stock country
probably in the known world. The
corn crop is safe before the rains cease,
and after that time the grass cures
upon the ground and makes natural
hay, retaining much of its nutritious
qualities. which serves rs . pereMniai

ENTERPRIsE.-The New York Herald
is certainly the most enterprising newspa-
per in the world. AT the very outset OF
the Modoc war, the proprietors of the
Herald dispatched Mr.. Fox, correspond
ent Of that paper, across the Continent to
the ''seat of war" The Yreka Union OF
last week, thus describes recent feat ac-
complished by the Herdld'S man Mr..
Fox quietly saddled up his horse and rode
over to Van Brcmer's, ard thence oyer
the mountain to the lava bed, and over
the rocks and assures of that unfinished
piece Of the world, up to Jacks strong
hold, so wonderously made by nature
herself. This feat of Fox has placed the
Herald in the van and distanced all COM
petitors in the race for news 1t is, no
doubt, intended by the Herald office,
which planned, and Fox, who executed
this move, that it shall rank only second
to Stanley's search for Livingstone in
Central Africa. AS will be seen by our
correspondence from headquarters, all
the correspondents asked permission to
accompany Fairchild and party to Jacks
camp, and all were refused. 1t is also
stated that thereuponFox saddled his horse
and rode over to Van Bremer's that he
left Van Bremer's two hours before day,
Monday morning, and had not been heard
from up to Tuesday noon. 1t was sur
missed he had watched for Fairchild's
party to enter the lava bed, had joined
and went with them to Jacks camp.
This conjecture proved correct. He event
to jacks camp, hobnobbed with Jack
and his counselors, wormed out Of them
all their secrets, spent the night under
their hospitable roof, returned the next
day to Van Bremer's, wrote up his report,
using some 5000 words, dispatched
courier to Yreka with it and sent it by
telegraph to the Herdld, at a cost of
some $500 Or 5000. Thursday mornings
Herald announced to its myriad readers,
under flaming head lines, all the secrets
of Captain Jacks Cabinet and all the
plans of his Generals, obtained by its own
in an interview with Cap
tain Jack and the chief military and civil
of his kingdom, at his en-
trenchcd military capital, in the heart of

NEWS ASSOCIATIONS Several weeks
ago, just after the AHa had been ostra-
cised by the Western Union Telegraph
Company, a new Association for the pur-
pose of obtaining telegraphic news was
arranged, consisting of the San Francisco
Chronicle and Atta and Sacramento
Record. Since that time we have been a
careful observer of the telegraphic COL
umns Of these papers and have frequently
compared them with those of the old
Associated Press papers. AS result Of
this comparison we must say that the
new association is superior to the old, not
only in the way Of interesting news but
also on the score Of reliability.
