Colonel q. M Taylor, agent Of the

T. c. Hunt, the well known Ranger
stockman, who has been in Fort Worth
for some time, has made q sale of 1000
head Of one and two-yesr-old steers to

A new kind Of stock car with shifting
double deck Is the latest improvement
added to the SAINTS Fe for the accomoda-
ton Of Texas shippers. Tie upper deck
is arranged in such manner that it can
be hoisted to the ceiling Of the car, high
enough to allow OF horse
standing up comfortably under it. Wnen
1t is required to haul sheep IN the car,
the upper deck csn be lowered, and q
double deck car Is made. Those WHO
have used the car speak in the highest
terms OF it. The one bad point about 1t
is that there is space between the sec
20 permit sheep to fsll in, snd some loss
arises from this.

The question OF securing in Texas the
ests adjustment for the refrigeration Of the
beef produced in the state is now being
placed before the cattlemen in manner
entirely different from what 1t has ever
been before. When the delegation from
Texas to the range convention on March %
reached Denver, they immediately began
| talking refrigerator with the result that
defnite propositions we're made and &C.
copied upon certain conditiont), and
| such was the nature OF those propositions
that one OF the most conservative stock
men Of Fort Worth said yesterday that the
securing of refrigerator for Texas ap-
peared more certain now than 1t had ever
done before. Exactly what the PROPOSE
tons were cannot be learned, but Ike 7.
Pryor Of Austin was named as The leading
spirit in the movement and it is under
| stood he will DE in Fort Worth on April
"a, when, backed by the cattlemen Of the
entire state, he will make this city an
offer of the location OF refrigerating
plant. Mr.. Pryor has since his return
| from Denver been moving about among
Tue ChltlcmSEt OOtalulDS lrOu Lhch tnelE
views and the promise Of their co-cpera-
ton in the business and 1t is known that
ne feels highly pleased with the encour-
Eagemeur he has received in his work,
A reporter had talk yesterday after
noon with R. M. Taylor, one Of the edit
ors OF the San Antonio StCckman, who is
at present in Fort Worth, with regard TO
refrigeration In Texas, and some OF his
remarks will serve TO throw light OF the
matter. The StockmAn, said Mr.. Tayior,
supported the movement for the loca-
ton of the concern in Houston, not
because Houston is more suitable
geographical position than any other
place, but because refrigerators were
needed in Texas and it was reasonable to
suppose if aid were given for the estab-'
lishment Of one at that plGce and fs
proved financially successful others
would be erected at other points inSthe
state. The cattlemen of the southern
part of the state, said Mr.. Taylor, are
equally as esger TO have such concern
IN operation in this state a. are those Of
Northern Texas, and there is many dol
lar Of stock subscribed to the Houston
failure that will be willingly transferred
TO an enterprise Of the same kind st any
other point in the state.
