this morning gave fair ex.
ample of the wonderful growth of the
cattle industry in this great state and
the men of nerve and brain who have
been In every sense the architects OF
their own fortunes. Strong, self-reliant
and energetic, they grappled with the
question how 10 make remunerative
The immense wastes of prairie in this
portion of Texas and the splendid sue
cess which has crowned their efforts Is
no more than every cattleman with
the brain TO plan and the courage to
undertake such q work deserves. There
were more than $50, 900 600 OF capital
represented by the members of the
association, and this immense sum is
insignificant compared to the results
which await the extension and inn
provement of the cattle bust
ness under the fostering care
4 Of the organization. A body of res
/ olute and capable men, representing so
much capital, and bound together by
ties of common interest, can so foster
and protect one another that each sue
ceeding year will see millions added to
the wealth OF the cattlemen OF north
west Texas, while Mt the same time
eleyating thu whole country. The cat
temen OF Texas are 10 the state what
the princes of the realm are to mon
archies, and the history OF her adj
yancement and glory would be incom-
petc without chapter for each Of the
heroes who by indomnitable pluck and
force of character have set in motion
an interest that will con-
tuue to spread and grow and
keep pace side, by side with
the state in her march toward the
front rank in point of wealth, power
and civilization.
And in this great work the North
east Texas Live Stock Association will
be prime factor. Organized under
the shadow of an oak tree in the
midst OF a boundless prairie, the seeds
there sown by the sturdy ranchers
who had gathered for mutual protec-
ton have taken root and grown and
brought forth fruit-goiden fruit to
the cattlcmen IN 4 largely increased
advance in the price of cattle, and
honor to the Il ssociation in that it
commands respect and admiration
from all and is the synonym Of power
and Justice in every mart in the land
