Out on the Cattle Ranges.

The great cattle kings will soon be q
thing of the past. The business for
merly known as "cattle ranching on tie
western plains Of America" will only be
known in history, or at least the day of
large herds upon free ranges is soon to be
q thing Of the past. Recently, while
talking with E. G. Head, ex-president of
the International Range association, and
one of the hest informed men on this
subject in the west, he said: There is a
changed condition brought about by the
constant tide of home seekers in the new
west. The cattle will be divided and
subdivided into comparatively small
herds for few years, yet many large
herds will continue to be met with upon
the open range country. Then, again,
where ownership is not exercised over
large grazing land holdings, as is the
case in Texas, New Mexico and Old Mex
ico,. large herds Of cattle will continue
there to be grazed until such lands be-
come too valuable for grazing and are
rendered adaptable for other uses. The
present condition Of the cattle interests is
quite promising.
Climatic conditions during the past
year, and more especially during the past
winter and present spring, have been ex-
ceptionally favorable" continued Mr..
Head, ''and the results have been OF the
most satisfactory character. While it is
true that prices on the beef markets, az a
rule, have prevailed low for three years,
many reasonable causes exist for it, and
not the least Of these has been the rapid
requirement by settlers Of the former
range country, thus causing hundreds OF
thousands of cattle to seek markets Of
slaugher in an immature and wholly un-
fit condition. Then there have been ex-
cessive droughts through the grain grow
ing states, causing shortage IN the grain
crops. Consequently high price for
the cereal was also the cause Of forcing
upon the markets from among the far
mers of the other grain growing states
large numbers Of cattle, which also had
an influence ON market values. denver

At O'Clock the lodge was called to order
by the Grand master-minutes of proceed
ing day read and approved, after which
the lodge was called off for the different
committees to prepare their reports.
One is struck in the appearance of the
body of men here assembled, and the
| amount of BUSINESS which they accomplish,
| without so much of that clash so often seen
| in political conference.-the intelligence
of the men are appealed to and the fact
that they can be, by this means governed
| shows US conclusively that the world is
| moving on. Committee on warrants and
dispensation reported. They recommend
| ed that warrants be granted to three globe

der dispensations. Bethany lodge, organ
lied April, is, 1883, was also granted DIS
pensation; committee on Jurisprudence re-
| ported and their report was received and
| adopted by items. The export evoked con-
siderable discussion; committee on condo
lence report shows the death of six mem
bers of the different subordinate lodges.
Report received aud adopted.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
At 2 O'Clock the grand lodge was called
on again. The committee on grievances
made their report. After very animated
discussion all grievances were very AMIGA
bly, settled, amid cheering from the grand
lodge. The differences seemed to exist be-
tween the "Three Globe lodge, L. D." and
the Arkansas Valley lodge, both of Wich-
tia.
Committee on insurance reported. Their
report was full and pointed, embracing all
necessary legislation for the craft. Their
report was adopted.
The whole day was spent in solid work.
Each measure was thorongly discussed
before it was adopted.
We as observers of the working of the
grand lodge cannot help seeing the rapid
strides of progress made by this grand
lodge both in numerically and in knowl-
edge of the government of. this vast
machine. 1t was interesting to observe
the manly and fair way each one fought
for what he conceived to be for the best
interest of the craft in geneneral and yet
see the grace with which he yielded
when defeated. The older members of the
lodge no do doubt looked with pride upon
the array of vigorous young men who shall
assume the obligations to govern this
grand craft when they are gone as against
the men of other days when the lodge was
first organized. The men now have their
attention centered upon the election of
grand officers tomorrow morning and no
doubt this grand lodge, the greatest in
numbers and influence of any yet held
will go away from the city feeling they
have accomplished much good. Installa-
ton will take place Immediately after
election. GrBnd parade at o'clock p u.
Grand entertainment at night.

Judging from the tone and temper of
all of the members of the city council as
eYiuced at the last meeting of that body,
they are determined to cut down the ex.
penses of running the city government to
the lowest possible figure, and they do
not propose to spend a single dollar OF
the city finances except where it is abso-
lutely needed. There are some expenses
hat cannot well be avoided, such as sala-
ries Of officers, ETC., but there are other
matters in which there can be a curtail-
ment. and this is destined 10 take place.
In the opinion of one of the members,
as expressed on the occasion alluded to,
the streets and alleys of the city are now
in such a condition hat for the present
year at least, so large an expenditure as
hat of the past year will not be needed,
and it is quite probable hat there will be
a material reduction in this item.
The levy of taxes has been made this
time i'll such a way that at the expiration
of the present year there will be some

and collected. This will has We a material
effect on the credit OF the city, and in.
stead of there being a deficit of several
thousand dollars at the beginning of the
year, as was the case on January |, 1888,

There are seven individuals in the city

not been taken out to work on the streets
for some days past. 1t is probable that
there is little or nothing which they could
