THE COLLEGE COLLAPSE.

Our Methodist contemporary, the Chris
t.an Ad.scate, in its last issue refers to the
College question again. The TRIBUNE
made no "ambiguous" hints over the de-
feat Of the College at Dillon. Our state
ments were adduced from facts, and taken
from the proceedings Of the committee OF
five ministers and the action OF the Con-
ference. The Ad1ocatc says:
1.-THE College might have been iocateo
at Dillon, but with the scholarship burden
it could not have succeeded. The action OF
the Conference saved the people OF 'ha1
place the chagrin Of contributing to tall
ure."
Undoubtedly the scholarship feature in
the PROSPECTUS was an unfortunate one. We
think everybody thinks SO. While this is
true we do not think the committee ct hve
ministers who unanimously Endorsed the
scholarship prospectus were ignorant men,
They certainly can read, write, and com.
prehend a plain proposition. However,
inasmuch as the College enterprise Is dead
it is, perhaps, we'll enough to drop the mat
ter. The stirring up Of dead things tnva-
riably creates an unnecessary stink. In
dropping the College question we give
place to the following quotation from let
ter written BY Rev. Mr.. Shannon to the
Christian Aduocakc:
ut is to be regretted. that the scholarship
clause Of the College prospectus had not
been expunged BY the Educational Commit
tee at its meeting in April. have yet to
fnp man who questions the justice or
wisdom Of the change required BY the
Mission at Its late annual meeting. Pom
inent subscribers, however, say that as
business men they could not consistently
come before those whom they had induced
to subscribe to the enterprise through the
leverage Of the scholarship, and ask them
now to relinquish that claim. They init.
mate that If the enterprise can be started
on new basis, and everybody be fairly
warned of the nature Of the requirements
Of the Mission they will stand to their
original proposition. This, however, with
the present state Of public sentiment, will
be impossible. The enterprise at Dillon
has failed, to the regrets of the members
Of the Montana Mission and the people 81

THE PANHANDLE.
The Practical Point for Cattle to Strike
the Trail.


WICHITA FALLS, TEX, April ii =
A circular Issued March by the Gulf,
Colorado & Santa Fe railway, embrace
ing letter from Col. McConsland, is
calculated TO mislead the uniformed.
The letter states that a practicable cat
tie trail can be established from Lam.
pssas as an outlet for Southern cattle,
and says chat the route via Canon
Blanca is comparatively free from
large pasture fences, that no better
outlet can be found from the interior
Of the state, and that this route has
not been driven over and the range Ia
consequently fresh.
The facts are, that this section is
now fully stocked with range cattle.
most OF it is Enclosed by pastures, and
the balance is full of farmers and small
stockmen and trail could not be
opened on this route. After indisa.
ing the route to Canon Blanca, the
letter says the cattle can keep
on through the Panhandle to the In
dian territory, or bear little
east and enter Greer coun-
ty. Greer county embraces the
southwest corner OF the Indian terri
tory and is nearly north, while the
route indicated to Canon Blanco is
northwest from Lampssas. IL this
route Is so practicable for shippers
from Milheim in Southern Texas, why
are shippers at Lampasas trying to get
rates from there TO Harold on the
Fort Worth & Denver City railroad
west OF here? 1t Is because Harold is
located on the old established cattle
trail that everybody knows Ia only
eight miles from the Red river and
twenty from Greer county. Cattle
cannot be driven into the north
ern country until they have re-
manned the required time, sixty days,
north OF the quarantine limit, which
is Red river. Harold is about two
hundred miles north of Lampasas and
is In the midst OF open range where
the cattle can be uni0aded and at once
take the trail.
