Joseph Hood, horse buyer, WAS in the
city yesterday looking over some of the
animals in Fort Worth.
There are no more cattle dying on the
plains. The grass is well started and
everything betokers prosperity to the
cattle interests.
The lsst of the Texas excursionists to
Denver returned to Fort Worth yester-
day, arriving here about O'Clock in the
morning. Loud are the praises expressed
by these travellers of The friendly, hospita
BILE treatment extended them by the peo-
pie of Colorado, and many and st-srg9
are the stories they have brought back,
With which to regale those Of their friends
who were not so fortunate as to be with
them.
The time is wearing around when the
committee appointed by the State Stock.
mems Association to cor sider proposals
for q refrigerator in North Texas will
meet in Dallas. One Ct the wealthiest as
well as most intelligent and far seeing
stockmen In the southwest said " sterday
to reporter that he had proposal to

sidered those now before it. The nEtu:e
Of the proposal is 20. such
SIS can be divulged, but i,
is s:fe to say that the gentleman

There will be refrigerator in operation
In Fort Worth within years time.
Colonel W. C. Young, president Of tbs
Llauo Cattle Company, was asked yester-
dsy ifhe had brought any news from Den,
yer.
mo good news" he replied.
"Whst seen to be the matteI?" he
WAS asked.
"Just this: That those Texas cattle
owners VINO are depending upon the
northwest as G market for their young
cattle are going TO be left out in the cold
There ia going to be very little buying
from tbs. qusrter either this year
or any future year. The stockme IN
up there DO net want the cattle because
they 4fave nowhere to keep them. They
can get possession Of no goverDm mt laL6
to use for range purposes, and the sheep,
men have stepped in and bought up most
of the greziDg land that hiss any water on
It. And the stockmen up there are toI
poor to buy any cattle. l had an ides be-
fore went to Denver that the cattlemen
of Texas were about as bad of as it is
possible to be, but tell you they are far
ahead Of those in the northwest.
"The fact is Texas cattle owners
can no longer depend upon tina,
country to finish their cattle, and they
must arrange to do it a. home. We are
in bad fix unless the placing OF refrig-
orators at points near the ranges will
bring US relief"
"What WAS done ct the convention re.
garding the quarantine liner" WAS the
next question.
Nothing. The Texas delegation was
outdone by kindness. The Colorado State
Live S. ock Association had just finished
when the range convention began
its session, and ss the former
was too poor to paw its bills our deleea-

their feet. Before our srrivsl at Denver
this state association had passed resoIu-
lions adverse to our position on the quar-.
antine question. Well, we ell went into
the range convention together, and the
a. 81 thing those COLORADO schemers did
Wss to fill all the tflces with Texas men
we could have had every office If we
would have accepted. The fact is, they
outnid US by kindness. After such behe-
vior On their part, how could we turn
around and pass resolutions directly OPP
posed to those passed by our entertainers
And then, If we had passed such resolu-
tions, they would have had very little in
fuepce with the Bureau, where they
would have been looked upon as the SEN
timents Of the Texas delegation only. A
committee was appointed to investigate
and report upon the matter, but that re-
port will never amount to much"
Col.Young gorWs very enthusiastic when
speaking of the reception the delegates
received in Colorado, which, he says, was
q complete ovation from the time of en-
tering the state till the leaving.
