that humming- bird is the chef d'ouvre of the

10000, ,ooo ACRES OF LAND FOR
 Sale in New Mexico and Arizona.
THE ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY

The Land Grant of this Company, in alternate sections extends entirely across the Territories ot New Mexico and Arizona, between the 34th and 36th degrees of north latitude. It ego miles long and So miles wide and includes some of the best grazing lands of both Territories. In the valleys are many desirable tracts ofsgricuitural land, sus- ceptible of irrigation. A sufhciency of water has been found wherever cattle and sheep have been grazed, and large herds have been grazed in the Wells have been sunk and good water has been obtained.
 A stream of running water, the San Jose, rises near the summit of the Sierre Madre, and runs 75 miles eastward to the Rio PuercO, and the compa- ny's road follows the whole length of its valley. There are numerous fine valleys opening into the valley of the San Jose, fanked by grassy and woo- ded hills, upon which there Is open growth of small cedar and pinon. There is an xtensive belt of good pine timber the mountains, the railroad, and good springs found on both slopes ofthe Serre Madre. There is large coal field of Fort Wingate which has been fully cx- plored, and which will afford labor for large pop uaton, there are also coal deposits on the eastern slope of the Sierra Madre. Many varieties of buil- ding stone found in great abundance along the line of the road.
 In Arizona the grazing supplied with good water, and the United States Surveyors, who made the official surveys of the country, say they are as good, if not-better, than those of Wyoming without irrigation in the valreys of the Puerco of the West, the Company's lands, and in the val ley of the Little Colorado, also the line of the road, good crops of corn, sorghum, oats, barley, and garden vegetables are grown by irrigation, the finest of potatoes, oats, wheat barley and gar den vegetables of large size and fine quality have been successfully grown without irrigation on

the slopes of the San Francisco mountains.
 On these mountains there is an extensive timber belt, diversified by beautiful valleys and parks, with good water and wonderful canons throuhg which the road passes In fact, the whole of the country traversed by the road IS very picturesque and beautiful, and many towns being buiis along its route,
 The Valley of the Rio Grande. at Albuqu uetsr is 5000 feet above the sea, and the passes e the Sierra Madre and the SaE Francisco mountzins.ip Arizona, have elevations of 7,3oo, witha depres- sion at Winslow, on the Little Colorado, a4hefe the altitude IS 5000 feet the climate IS ni and saiubrous. Cattle and sheep graze throli zhottt the year and do not need to be sheltered or grain fed during the winter. The nights are cool during the summer.
 The Company is prepared to make sales of its grazing lands Tn quantities of 5o,ooo acres or more, at prices ranging from one dollar tor even less for larger quantities. to dollar and half an acre, upon payment of onc-Iourth the purchase value at date of contract of sale, the remainder in payments may be agreed upon, cultural lands in tracts of forty acres more.
 The belt of the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad Land Grant includes thc only available grazing land in the country south oF the Missouri River that can be purchased in large areas and the section of country through which this road passes will become the best beef producing region of the United States.

men who now have no range, would have secured all the land they ever would have wanted.
 Texas Stockman: The men who shipped corn-fed cattle from Texas this spring are enjoying a vacation looking around for more cattle to feed next winter, and thanking their lucky stars that they are not as other men who shipped watery grassers to a falling and demoral- ized market. Yes, the shippers of fed cattle are complacent, and in their complacency lies lesson, by no means deeply hidden.
 Santa Fe Review: Three weeks ago the land board of Texas leas- ed 1,250,000 acres in the Pan Handle to ranchmen, and the greater part of it for six cents an acre, and there are said to be 24,- | 100000 acres of school lands still in the market to be leased at a minimum annual rent of six cents an acre and for a maxi mum term of six years.
 Clifton Clarion: The authorities at Washington seem to think that the cowboy is genius with horns, prowling about the country seeking whom he may devour. The cow boy of Arizona is hard working man, pursuing laborious and dangerous vocation for livelihood, and is in no sense a criminal. The proportion of offenses committed by this class is small, and the east ern pictures of them are exagger- ated and rediculous.
 New Mexico Stock Grower: A meeting of the stockmen of Mitch ell county, Texas, was held July 15, for the purpore of expressing the sentiment of the cattle raisers of that section in regard to the orders issued by Secretary Lamar order ing the opening of the trails. 4 very enthusiastic meeting was held, and was largely attended. A long series of resolutions thanking La mar for his action were passed and ordered transmitted to the Sccre tary.
 Socorro Bullion: The "time" of a train load of cattle on the A. T. & s. F. railroad from San Marcial to Wallace, is seven hours; from Wallace to Las Vegas, seven hours from Las Vegas to Dodge City, Kansas, twenty-tour hours; from Dodge to Kansas City, twenty-one hours. A "train load" of cattle is twenty-one cars from any point south of Trinidad, Colorado. Any reasonable time over the A. T. & s. F. railroad will be given ship pers of train loads of live stock.
 Albuquerque Journal: Mir. H. Cooper, a tall cattleman from Big Springs, Texas, left this morning over the Atlantic & Pacific to hunt for range for 10000 head of cattle to be brought from Texas. MT. Cooper says that the range is very thin in northwestern Texas, and much of the country is badly over stocked. The small cattle owners, men who own from 1000 to 5000 head, are being crowded out by the cattle kings, who number their cattle by tens of thousands, and the small owner, are many of them seeking Arizona and New Mexico.
 Prescott Miner: A disease has shown itself among some of the herds in this section, while not necessarily fatal to the animal afflicted, requires careful watching. From some cause. yet unknown to stockmen, cattle become blind, their eyes swelling to such an ex- tent that the ball of the eye almost leaves the socket.

STOCK NOTES
From all Sections of the Country.

Globe Live Stock Journal: Gro yer Cleveland appears to be boss of the roundup in the Indian Terri tory.
 The Dillon (Mont.) Tribune moves to amend by striking out "cattle kings" and inserting "beef barons."
 Raton (N. M.) Comet: The total number of cattle admitted in- to the territory by George Will liams, while inspector at Seven Rivers, was 16,200.
 Socorro Bullion: The Gila cat tie company shipped to Kansas city on Monday 200 head of first class beef steers, an initial lot. The company is now rounding up 2000 head for immediate shipment
 A corporation known as the Arl- Eona Cattle Company has been formed to operate in Arizona, The names of the incorporators are: H. Corbin, H. w. Guernesey and T. K. Egbert, all of Jersey City, N. J.
 New Mexican: The time will shortly come when the attention of the stock grower in New Mexico must be given to the quality of the beef produced, rather than quan- tity of stock to be run on the range.
 Globe Silver Belt: The Erie cat tie company and J. H. Slaughter made joint shipment of ten cars of beef cattle from Wilcox to Kan sas City this week. If the experi- ment proves a success larger ship ments will doubtless follow.
 Omaha Journal: Armour and Swift, the big guns of Chicago, will have buyers at the Union stock yards, South Omaha, about the first of August. In all proba- bility they will have packing houses there also, within a few months.
 Tailings: The Hot Springs ranch in Graham county is advertised for sale by a Socorro, N. M., agent, for $35, ,000, including 800 graded cattle, 50 shorthorn milk COWS, 50 Golddust and Percheron brood mares, stallions, farming utensils, etc.
 Record-Epitaph: The Erie Cat tie Company have been making extensive Improvements on their ranches, have built adobe houses on each ranch and put in horse power and windmill pumps. This promises to be one of the largest stock-growing firms in the territory.
 New Mexico Stock Grower: Ari- zona is rapidly developing as leading cattle range country, and is being rapidly stocked with good herds. In two years Arizona will equal New Mexico, and the two territories will lead in the United States as producers of feeding steers.
 Prescott Courier: Owners of cat tie and ranges on the San Pedro, have met and resolved that their ranges are overstocked, and that they will not sit quietly down and permit importers of Texas stock to turn the same loose among them. In this, the Courier thinks the San Pedroians are right.
 Southwestern Stockman: All cattle put upon the Indian reser- vations by the government for breeding and domestic purposes are branded ID before being dis tributed among the tribe for which they are intended, and the Indians are strictly prohibited from selling or killing them, and a white per son found in possession of one of them is liable to prosecution.

A very interesting and important matter

graphic office of the United States navy de-
partment 1t has been claimed that oil
poured upon the water in the most violent
storms will speedily calm the waves. 1t acts
in some measure as a coat of varnish might
do, and prevents the terrific foaming walls
of water from breaking. The greatest dan
ger to ships in storm is from these ire
mendous waves that strike and break over
them. Their force is so terrible that it fire.

glass that covers the port holes, and even
splinters the doors Of staterooms. Tons OF

with water six inches deep, and men and
women can only wiring their hands and cry:

The French milliner passes lurid and
lucrative existence in sewing on bows where
there should be no bows, and flounces where
there should be no founces. But, alasl his
industry was in vain. For all ready-made
ornamcntatiou merely makes dress ugly to
look at aud cumbersome to wear The beauty
of dress, as the beauty Of life, comes always
from freedom. At every moment dress
should respond to the play of the girl who
wears it, and exquisitely echo the melody OF
each movement and each gestures grace. Its
lovelineSs is to be sought for in the delicate
play of light and line in dainty ripping folds,
and not in the useless ugliness and ugly use
lessness of a stiff and stereotyped decoration.
1t is true that in many of the latest Paris
dresses which ! have seen there seems to be
some recognition of the value of folds, But
unfortunately the folds are all artiiicially
made and sewn down, and so their charm
is entirely destroyed. For fold i'll dress
is not a fact, an item to be entered in a
bill, but certain effect of light and
shade, which is only exquisite because it Is
evanescent. Indeed, one might just as well
paint shadow on q dress rs sew fold down
on one. And the chief reason that modern
dress wears so short a time Is that IL cannot
Toe smooth d out, as it should be, when 1t Is
laid aside in the wardrobe. In fact, III n
fashionable dress there is far too much
'shaping' thu very wealthy of course, Will
not care, but it is worth while to remind
those who are not millionaires that the more
seams the more shabbiness. A well-made
dress should last almost as long rs shawl,
and if it is well made it does. And what /
mean by wel-made dress is simple dress
that hangs from the shoulders; that takes
its shape from the figure, and its folds from
the movements of the girl hat wears it.
And what mean by n badly made dress is
an elaborate structure of Heterogeneous
materials, which, having been first cut to
pieces with the shears, and then sewn to-
gether by the machine, are ultimately so COW
cred with frills and bows and tlounces as to
become execrable to look at, expensive topay
for, and absolutely useless to wear.
