north, and in the south, in the west and
on the plains, and, with few exceptions,
all told the same story. That the native
grasses on closely grazed grounds were
almost extinct; that the grass had been
trodden out of many valleys; that other
extensive areas had been almost ruined
by overstocking, and that disasters, seri-
Gus and widespread, menaces the whole
cattle growing industry west of the l01st
meridian.
I have no doubt that the losses of cat
tie now grazing on the ranges of high
altitude will be sufficiently large this
winter to bankrupt many individual as
well as associated cattle growers. And
it matters not what the winter may
prove to be, whether mild or hard, the
condition of the grass on the range
sharply indicates that large portion OF
the cattle cannot rustic through it.
They are doomed to die. There is but
little good grass east of the mountains.

The BARRIERS Temperance Lecture.

There are many temperance lectures
which are not delivered in public places;
and a good many plain, sensible people
say things on the subject which are quite
as well worth remembering as the most
eloquent addresses of eminent temper
ance orators. When men will look facts
in the face they will find abundant rea-
sons for letting strong drink alone.
Two colored BARRIERS were together in
a shop. One was a young man, the
other was old. The young man took off
his apron and started out Of the door.
''Yo's gwine to get drink, Jim?"
asked the elder.

Clu,erous will Probably Make His Confession
on the scalrold.

RICHMOND. Va. December 11.-Al-
though Cluvcrious, the convicted murderer
of Lillian Madison, has declined to see any
one except his spiritual adviser, there is a
playground suspicion that he has in the
past two days confessed that he committed
the crime for which he is so soon to pay
the penalty Rev. DR.. Hatcher, an emf
ncnt Baptist divine, who has known Cluve-
riuS for many years, is with him daily, and
although he is reticent when asked the
point blank question, yet certain questions
put to him, and others near him, guarantee
the conclusion that the prisoner has ac-
knowledgcd the commission of the crime.
For instance. the teaching of the Baptist
ministers is to the effect that man who
has committed the sin Of murder must &C.
knowledge his sin before God and man.
Certain parties who are near tosCluverious,
and who are also BaptistS, to which de-
nomination Cluycrious belongs. have posi-
tiveiy asserted in the last "A hours that the
prisoner has made his peace with God. 1t
is thought that the prisoners confession
will be read from the scatfoid, and that his
spiritual advisers have been bound to secre-
cy until that time, This was the course
pursued in the celebrated Jcter Phillips
case, Phillips being a member Of the Bap-
tist denomination. He maintained his IL
nocence up to the last, so far as the public
was concerned, but confessed to Rev. DR..
Dickinson, who kept the secret until the
confession was read from the scatfold.

VALLEY OF pESOLATIoN.

While slowly driving down this gray

tinually assured me that there was
good grass in the foothills, and that the
cattle which grazcd there We're fat We
! left the wagon at Grand Encampment
river and took saddles and rode into the
foothills. | sstrongly impressed with
the unhealthy appearance Of the cattle.
Their hair did not lie smooth. There
was peculiar stare in their eyes which
had long ago learned to recognize as
fatefu! The calves sucked the COWS
. often and with nervous energy. The
COWS, almost without exception, were
lean and weak. The grass, scanty ap-
peaI.ing to eastern eyes at all times. had
queer, strange appearance. After going
4 few miles. and inspecting the grass
from the elevation Of horses back. / dis
mounted ard carefully examined it,
bunch after bunch, until l had inspected
llfty punches The story was told. In
go bunch which examined were there
more than twelve stalks of this years
grass. The other stalks, from twenty to
sixty, were last years growth. 1t is not
possible for cattle to separate the good
from the poor. Three-quarters OF the
food that the cattle, which have grazed
in the foothills during the past summer
have eaten consisted OF the weather
beaten, rainsoaked grass Of last seasons
growth. 1t IS 10 wonder they wandered
tar into the mountains in search OF fresh
and tender food.
Almost daily, while hunting IL the
Sierra Madre mountains. J. saw small
barl;s OF cattle feeding in the mountain
parks or in the green timber. These
animals were almost as wild rs elk They
bed IN the same localities that the elk
and blacktail deer Gid. L judged from
the frequency with which ] saw these
small herds that there We're many hun
drcds OF them in the mountains. What
will be the fate OF these half wild ami
mails which are grazing in the lofty,
pine clad highlands three weeks ago? I
uuhesitatingly answer not one III ten

this time they are showed IN. Instinct,
or perhaps superior reasoning power,
teaches game animals 70 fly out Of the
mountains when heavy snow storms be-
gin to rage. Cattle have not this in
stinct. They are almost sure to linger
too long in the highlands, and there
they die OF cold aud hunger. The ma
trlre OF the ground forbids their being
driven cat, and, indeed, the cowboys
have no heart to enter unknown and in
tricatc mountain systems in search OF
these cattle, as they might get lost them
selves.

instance tie present condition of 4
once famous stock growing valley. -Four
years ago tal; bunch grass stood III the
upper North Platte valley. The low,
rocky hills we're covered. The spaces
between tie sage bushes were occupied
by punches Of grass. The treeless Hanks
of the mountain ranges were yellow with
dried grass, which waved in the wind.
There was grass, and good grass, every
where throughout the valley. Heavy
crops Of hay were cut on the natural
meadows. Cattle, horses, antelope and
elk roamed through the valley from
Hunter ranch at the bridge over the
North Platte to fifty miles below Fort
Steele. On every creek which issued
from the mountains prosperous cattle
growers lived in log houses. The cattle
were fat, and though the growers always
lied about the per cent. of calves they
branded, it did not seem as though dis
aster We're close at hand.
But how is it to-day? The valley Of
the North Platte, this famous grazing
ground, is virtually g.ass desert. 1
have just returned from a trip through
it and the adjacent mountains, and I
have never seen more valueless region
to grow or hold cattle in. The grass is
tramped out by the hoofs of thousands
OF hungry and lean cattle, that walked
for months over the arid land in search
OF food. They roamed for days before
they staggered close to the snow IN the
foothills, and then they closely followed
the rctrcating snow banks into the down
timber, into the green timber, and final
y on to the summit OF the Sierra Madre
mountains.
