Theodore Roe.eveIt on Cs.tIe Raising.

D
Theodore Roosevelt, who owns in Dakota
two of the finest ranches in the United
States, says that while those who are in
the business are still making money the
profits have been greatly reduced of late
years, through competition and the in
creased production that has resulted from
the appearance Of new men in cattle rails
ing. As in everything else, the business
is being monopolized by large syndicates
with millions Of dollars of capital The
most important consideration, however, is
the constant encroachments which settlers
are making upon the rich lands over which
thousands of cattle roamed at will few
years back. All of the best lands have
been taken up by settlers, and the ranch
men are being driven farther and farther
away while the poor lands are as yet un-
occupied.
1t is thus only question of time when
ranching on the colossal scale Of to-day
will be thing Of the past No herds of
tens of thousands of cattle will roam at
will over hundreds Of square miles of
prairie land or hilly country, and perhaps
even that hilarious product of American
civilization, the bestrapped and belted
cowboy, will also disappear. A few years
since cattle raising was one of the most
profitable enterprises in which men could
engage. Vast fortunes were rapidly &C
cumulated, and even now large profits are
made in it. The breeding of other ami
mails, like hogs and sheep, is now attract
ing much attention, but there is not the
romance about it that attaches to culti-
waiting the wild steer. One would scarcely
speak of a hog rancho. New York

THE BILLIARD CASES.
No More MOnkeying - They VIII be

The TIMES kept space for full
report Of the "billiard cases" that
were to have come off before Justice
Lennon this forenoon. The defend
ants asked for jury trial, which of
course delayed the hearing. After
ward, at the request of defendants,
the cases were continued till to-mor-
row, at 10 o'clock a. M, at which
time, District Attorney Ruick says,
they will surely be tried.
AS these cases affect every place in
Alturas county, and perhaps else.
where, the TIMES intended to give
a full report Of the trial, testimony
arguments, rulings, verdict and judg.
ment, believing such home journal
istic enterprise would be appreciated
by the great number who feel inter
ested in the cases, directly and as tax
payers, and who know that any repor
this paper makes will be not only re
liable but intelligent.

Mr.. Rogers, civil engineer in the
employ of the Union Pacific Rail
way system, arrived here yesterday,
to select the site for the proposed
new depot, and examine into the title
to the site. After looking over several
proposed sites, Mr.. Rogers concluded
to select that beginning on the south
side of Croy street and Fifth avenue,
and running south to the old depot.
He made preliminary sketch or plat
of the ground, which will be submit
ted to headquarters and approved
after which the building of the de-
pot will be commenced immediately
The depot will be located east of
the main track, and the yard, side
tracks, switches, ETC., will all be east
or south of the depot. The building
and yard will be on patented ground,
while the side tracks, etc., will be
put wherever most convenient, the
company having 2OO-foot right of
way.
The depot will be the largest on
the Oregon Short Line system.

It has a curious and somewhat unpleasant habit of following ships, and one followed the ship Plymouth from San Fran cisco to Realejo, Central America; often passing under the keel.
