When Aas Animal Industry Bureau
was dominated and run BY charlatans
and dead beats who knew little and
cared less about western stock inter
ests, this paper slugged 1t silly. But
since such men as Colonel Coleman,
Colonel Cunningham, Thorp Andrews
and Harry Taylor, men who know aud
care something about the interests
entrusted to them, boss the affairs of the
Bureau, we are in favorI of the in
stitut'on, and dead down on the "con-
solidated" scheme Matched at Kansas

The cattlemen have slready begun to
gather for the excursion to Denver. A
large number OF gentlemen arrived in
Fort Worth yesterday, whose sole bust
ness in these parts was TO cstch the train
which will bear them to the range con-
vention, and many names were added to
the list OF applicants for appointment as
delegates thereto. There is yet room for
few more passengers on the train, with
out taxing its capacity, but it is best for
those who do not wish to get left to
send In their applications for berths early
The list az it now stands contains the
names of many stockmen Of prominence
in North Texas, and many outside of the
state, as we'll as people engaged In other
Industries, and there is no reason why
any man who has desire to go over the
great Panhandle route on the first through
train that passes over the road, should
hesitate to send in his name. Many Ia
dies will be in the party.
