RANCH AND RANGE.

The favorable outlook for moving cattle
without trouble, has caused a frmer feel
ing among sellers in Texas. Yearlings
are now quoted at from $40 to sl2 and
2's at from $I4 to SIG.
The Indians on the Cheyenne reserva-
ton, in the Indian territory, are very
much divided about the lease Of lands to
cattlemen, and trouble is feared. The
cattlemen control more than 1900, 900
acres Of land, AMI Craze vast herds.

The Powder River Cattle company
shipped from Superior. Wis, on the 9Th,
100 head of live cattle to London, Eng
by boat to Buffalo aud thence to New
York by rail, as an experiment If it
proves to be a success, it is probable that
many head will 10 down the lake from
Superior this fall.
The indications at the present writing
point to a comparatively light shipment of
cattle from Montana this year. While
many of the cattlemen have stock that
will be in shipping condition, some of
them will hold over until next year for
their cattle to put on the most flesh posi-
bic, and in the expectation that another
year viii show "a stoadier aud better mar
ket.
One day last week two train-loads of
Texas cattle, which it is asserted came
from an infected district in that state,
were unloai led at the Santa Fe stock
yards, in Pueblo. Col. The herd belongs
to w. j. Adams. and it contains 1910
head Of cattle. These AREA portion of the
large number OF cattle recently stopped at
Ration and Springer, n. NJ, and they
were shipped from Ration to Pueblo and
there unloaded.
The %round-ups are nearly completed
now, and the reports are that the calf
crop is moro than an average, running all
the way from fifty to seyenty-fivc per
cent. and that the prospects are cxcep
%tionally good. This, IN view of the dis.
couraging prospects that were given forth
by a few regarding cattle last winter, aud
which proved not TO be- well founded,
makes the cattlemen in general very we'll
pleased with the prospects Of their bust
ness.
THE Denver Tribune Republican. in an

Bob lpgersoll, says that when Messrs
Dorsey and Ingersoll are at home on the
ranch they ART the ideal cattle kings

their ranch covers more than 1906 o
acres- Their residences arr less than than
halt mile apart, and, unlike the usual
abode OF caulemen, arr fitted up with all
the convenicnces known to modern times.

they have gas, water aud telephones. The

novel and unique. IL was built under the
direction Of MIR. Dorsey, and presented to
his partner on his irst sisit to the ranch.
