Cattle men are Of the opinion that the day
for free cattle range in Texas has passed,
lands Of all classes having advanced fully
fifty per cent. iu price within the past year.
This is owing in part to the numerous lines
Of railroad being built in that State, and
partly the desire Of people to engage in the
stock business. A good stock ranch is even
now considered valuable property, although
it is predicted that cattle will be much
chaper year hence than they are now.
