TCATTLE CHATTER.

Rod Id- Ups by the Statesman Trail Man
Secretary Atwater yesterday re-
ceiYed notice of the appointment by
Cow. +. a. Trittle, of Arizona. of Jno.
j, GiaaRer, to represent that territory
as gate at large in the National
CaScie and Horse Growers associa-
tioA. Gov. Stoneman, of California,
also \sent notification of the appoint
men4 of delegate ct large:
. LosNVegas &. ~ Optic: Ex-
SenaSor Dorsey, OF the Palo Blanco
raneh IN New Mexico, will next sea-
soR remove all his steers above two
YEARS of age to Routt county in Col
9rado, to grow up with the country.
STheywill grow" says the senator,
Zone hundred pounds heavier in sim
lie Eear up in Routt, and 100 pounds
u 1000 steers is deal of money.
8, Roof and Horn: The demand for
Dlooded bulls was never so great in
ARIZONA as at present. While this is
due chiefly to the enforcement of the
bGll law passed by the last legislature.
YETI stockmen generally, are beginning
TO realize that scrub will consume
Justas much as thoroughbred that
viii realize in the market two or three
times more than the scrub could pos
siblS be sold for.
Fort Collins Colorado EXPRESS:
Jesse Harris, who has been for the
past three months in England, Scot
land and France in search of stations
and mares of the best breeds of those
countries, is expected to arrive in Col
Inns in few days with carload of
horses. He has brought over car
load of Cleveland bays and Shire
hord les, and wrote from Montreal that
the horses stood the voyage well, and
will arrive in prime condition.
Exchange: The rapidly increasing
value Of range property is striklngIy
shown by the constantly occurring
discussion which one hears concern
ing the piping and catching" of water
for the use of stock. A year ago a
proposition TO pipe water to any graz
ing ground, ten or fifteen miles dis
tant from the water supply, would
have been considered so unusual as to
excite comment in the columns of che
public preas; at present it has become
so commonplace as to be hardly given
a passing notice.
Mr.. P. Doddridge, of Corpus Christi,
banker, land and live stock owner,
was in Austin yesterday. He was on
his way to Chicago and other markets
to look after some cattle trades. Mr..
Doddridge has recently taken in Mr..
Tom Coleman as a partner in his cat
tie business, The firm now has 5000
yearlings on Otter creek, at old Camp
Radzminksi, in the Wichita noun
tains. Mr.. Rachel has 5000 head On
the same range. Their pasture adj
joins Greer county.
Capt. M. D. Mather returned from
Fort Worth last evening. From him
the STATESMAN learns that the Fort
Worth refr1geratlng works were sold
yesterday for $32, 900, cash down, to
home company, and that the money
was raised in few hours. The COM
pany has a contract with an English
syndicate to slaughter, refrlgerate and
snip 200 beeves per day, tor period of
twelve months. A few more such
contracts as that and the Dodge City
pool will be ''busted higher'n kite"
and Texans will not give the flip of a
finger for quarantine and dead lines.
Exchange: The old, time-worn cry
that cattle are seriously damaged by
being "ginned up" constantly, is as
true as ever, and accounts partially
for the low price cattle have been
bringing this year: At least, this is a
prominent reason given by authori-
ties. When starting in the business,
| young growers or managers are too
,iesir0us of keeping their cattle in
sight, and thus not only keep working
them, but in a measure, close herd
them. It would be far better to have
as motto: Be happy if you see none
of your cattle except at round-ups.
| Globe-Democrat: Mr.. John F. Ca
hill, Mexican consul, yesterday re
ceived at letter from Mexico, in which
it was stated that there was great en-
thusiasm among the cattlemen of Chi
huahua, in reference to the Cattle
mems convention, to be held in this
city. and already an attendance was
assured much larger than that of last
year, or than had been anticipated
From material furnished by Mr.. Ca
hill, five hundred invitation,
have been printed in Span
ish and addresses indicated by him
including the governors of all tn
states of Mexico, who are also in
vited 70 appoint delegates and call tn
attention Of their people to the impar
lance Of the matter.
