but, on the contrary, think the mar ket will soon rule lower.

1 ter Sheriff James Garfield; of Sprin 1 ger, received letter from C.. W Tait of Tascosa, Texas, that he had just had two horses stolen from him by two young men, who gave their names as Nicanore Sanchez his parents living at Trinidad, and the other as Felix Tibera, with his parents living at Las Vegas, the sheriff had one of the boys and one of the stolen horses in custody This is the third darrest of the kind that Sheriff Garfield has made this week, and it would appear that Springer is an unsafe place for horse thieves to stop at.
 Salt Lake Tribune: A stockman just returned from a trip through Southern Idaho, says that unless rain falls there very soon the de struction of stock will be awful, He says that the grass looks scared and burnt up within a few feet of the snow banks, and that the stock men and farmers are greatly wor- ried. We hope that things are not quite so bad as described, and yet it is clear that our usual May show CTS have not fallen. But there have been good many years in which heavy rains fell in June. We hope this will be one of them hope so for the stockmen and farmers, and also that the dust may be laid in the streets and on the public roads.
 Hoof and Horn: Doctor Thorn ton, the genial and popular mana ger of the Perrin Cattle Company, was among the prominent stock men visiting Prescott during the present week. The Doctor inform ed us that the Perrin Company, of which he is one of the principal owners will ship a train load of fine beef cattle to Kansas City from Ash Fork during the present week, which will be followed by many other large shipments during the season. Of all the cattle compa- nies operating in Arizona few are better fixed than the Perrin, pos sessing as it does a legal title to the largest single tract of land in the entire Territory.
 White Oaks Interpreter: The COW papers of the territory are bowling about the over-croWding of the New Mexico cattle ranges by new corners. We notice, however, in these same papers, that the lord ly barons already established here are buying Texas cattle in large numbers and bringing into this territory on to the very ranges about which such a howl is being made on account of short grass. MT. Dwyer, of Colfax county, has re- gently purchased 4,000 Texas year lings at $7 per head. while Capt. J. c. Lea, of Boswell-on-the-Pecos, has now on the way from Texas several thousands of yearlings which he purchased near Dallas for $8 per head. These facts would seem to imply that the ranges in the two localities mentioned are not seriously over-crowded.
 Exchange: It is a mistaken idea that a mare once bred to jack will ever show in her produce some of the characteristics of the mule. Rosedale, the dam of Glendale ? POI, had two mule foals, and the colts which she has since dropped at Jewett stock farm, by Rochester, Coronet and Jerome Eddy, possess quality without a single hybrid taint. Queen Duffin produced to the cover of a jack five or six mules, and she has thrown to Wilson's Blue Bull, Lona Guffin, ? :233, and Otto K, ? :244. There are plenty of other instances of mares throw ing speedy and valuable horses af- ter being mated with the ass. The theory that the jack leaves an inn pression upon the mare which can not be destroyed and which taints her later produce, will not hold water. -.Es
