in Texas for the past week, left last even

for short time.

One OF the bsst COW trades thst has
been made in North Texas this season was
the sale OF 220 hesd Of steers msde last
week by E D. Farmer CT Tarrsnt county
to Richardson & Hsckett Of Fort Worth,
the price being $3.50 per mead. They
were s slicK-looking lot, but the purchss-
ers are rather fearful O. making fortune
on them.
Arrangements were made 81 the recent
gsthering in Pailadelpnia Of the Butchers
Nstlonsl Protective Association, which
adjourned shout ten days sgof for 8 con
ference between representatives OF th.t
body, the executive committee CT the
International Range Association, and
prominent cattle feeders from Missouri,
Kansas, Iowa, and Neorask, to compare
grievances sgainst the dressed
beef monopoly and irsugurate
measures for mutual benefit.
This is considered by leading csttiemen
to be one OF the strongest sud most prom
Using efforts yet made to overcome the
northern rings that has been made In
some time, and is thou9ht to be good
time for everyone having the cattle bGsi-
ness at heart 70 give 1t q lift.

As time and the roGnd-ups progress,
further discoveries are made as to the
nefarious and cussed work Of tie brand
burners. The crooks must have been
active for most of the winter, as cattle
have been found and identified in nesrlY
all parts Of the range, and belonging TO
nearly sll the brands through the country,
the old brands defkced by the fresh run
ming NJ or ". In some cases, where
these brands could not be made TO cover
the old ones, there has been s
mere blotching and sort Of snake
trail run over the whole.
How any set Of men Of even 0rdinsry in.
felligence could have expected to escape
detection in such awkward and wholesale
work is beyond comprehension. Active
and vigorous measures should be taken
at once to bring the offenders to Justice
before evaporation reaches the point
where tile slow and uncertain law shsll
be ignored and resort is had to swift and
dangerous methods which the Panhandle
has never known.
the stockmen in Southern Texas have
had some experience with improved
cattle cars snd have been greatly pleased
with them; but tine railroad company
that has been furnishing the superior &C
commodations has come to the conclu
sion that this Partially on the part o. the
stockmen has grown into trouble
8 me proportions and has re-
solved to nip 1t at once.
The railroad company. no doubt, reccg-
nizes the superior advantages these cars
afford shippers, and know that unless
some obstacle is thrown In the wsy, the
occupation Of their old cars is gone. So
they have issued new tariff, rating the
Streets stable cars 10 per cent. above
thirty four foot car rates, and then ad.
ding sn addit ousl Is per cent. and rails
ing the rate on these "Palace" cars IS
the railrosd company terms them (snd
they are palsces for cattle when compared
with the old style stock cara from
