Cattle Raisers Could Control the Market by
81 Forcing Buyers to Come to Them In
e stead-A Plan Suggested.
Houston Post.
s CattIemen have been watching with
interest the proceedings of the United
States beef committee, which has been
investigating the dress ed beef combine.
A Post reporter yesterday met large
shipper and raiser of livestock and got
hiss views on the subject. He said:
.sS4fhe producers really should control
tile live stock markets of the country
and they could do so if they would only
get together and organize. don t
mean anything in the way of a trust,
but simply an organization for the pro-
lection of the cattle grower. Just at
present the trouble is that buyers are
few, and there is not sufficient cOmpeti-
ton in that line. The Big Four combi-
nation not only puts its price on what it
sells, but the combine regulates its buy
ing price This is the whole trouble.
Now my idea is that ali stock should be
bought on the range. Let this BUYER
come to the grower and buy his cattle
the same as horse buyers do. If a cattle
man wants suit of clothes he goes to a
L
come to him. This system should prevail
in cattle dealing. The grower should
sell at home and not go to Chi
cago and other points with his
stock, where he is at the mercy
of the buyer If man takes in a train
load of cattle to Chicago he must sell on
arrival, because the stock would in two
or three weeks eat their heads off. All
this talk about there being surplus of
cattle which causes depressed prices is
moonshine When beef was three cents
higher than il now is dressed beef was 40
lower. There is demand for all the
cattle that eau be grown, and if stock
men would only organize and resolve to
fnake the shipper buy on the range
the grower would get more
for his cattle, and the consumer
would pay no more. The only sufferers
would be the few buyers who now con-
troll the market What l would sug-
gest is something in the nature of a
cattle exchange and let ali stockmen in
Texas, New Mexico, Colorado and
Montana join it. Let it be understood

How Young Girls Are Bought and Sold for I'M
moral Purposes on the Pacific Coast.

HOW 1OuDR Olrlb are Bought anu SOlu lOC lU-
moral Purposes on the Pacific Coast.
CHICAGO, Ill. Sept. 2O.-A San Fran
cisco dispatch says: in the face of the
exclusion act the importation of China
men is increasing largely. The Gallo
Wednesday brought $50 besides the en-
bassy. OF these twenty four were
women, who will be landed on writs of
habeas corpus as the wives of merchants.
They are, however, nothing of the sort,
but it is said are brought here for i'm
moral purposes, and the collector will
make strong objection to their landing.
The Chinese slave traffic is a growing
business. Girls are bought from their
parents for from one hundred to three
hundred dollars on the promise that they
will be brought here and married. On
their arrival they pass through the habeas
corpus mill and are disposed of for if
teen hundred or two thousand dollars and
placed in disreputable houses. The col
slector of the port says he will stop this
zts.affosif he has to go into court himself.

FORT WORTH, TEX, Sept. 20, 1899.
The communication of Attorney Gen.
eral Hogg to Laud Commissioner Hall
published in THE GAZETTE of 10Th inst.
is of so important a character that the
writer asks its reproduction in this arti-
Gle. The effect of it will propably be to
stop sales, at least for the present, of
lands by the Houston and Texas Central
railroad, and to throw a cloud over the
titles to sales already made. The facts
of patents having already been issued by
the state to these lands does not make q
perfect title The state is sovereign, and
it is in her power to cancel patents for
land that may have been illegally Issued
and the state has done so upon numbers
Of occasions. The sales made by the
Houston aud Texas Central railroad
company alone in HaTdeman, Wilbarger
and Wichita counties during the last
ninety days may exceed 200 sections,
upon quite nearly all of which
the Houston and Texas Central railroad
company has received in payment one
fifth cash, the balance of the purchase
money being settled bynotes at one, two,
three and four years, and secured by
deed of trust.

The immense production of cattle in
the United States in the last few years
has made the supply far greater than the
demand, but it is a question as TO how
long this condition will continue. Under
the pressure of low prices and discourage
ment many cattle growers are now turn
ing their attention to sheep, some TO
horses and others to farming The time
of all others TO stick to business is when
everybody else is trying to get out of 1t.
This has proven true Of sheep in recent
years and no doubt will be found equally
true of cattle in the future National
Stockman.

that no cattle would be sold except on
the range. Such a company could be
self-sustaining. 1 would suggest that
good amount of capital stock in cash
be subscribed so that when any grower
had to realize money he could borrow
it from the company at 10 per cent. with
his stock as collateral. Each man who
had 100 head of stock would have his
stock listed at the exchange or central
office, and when buyer wanted cattle
he would know just where to get them,
and the number that would be for sale at
any date. The exchange could appoint
man to see that no cattle we're sold at cut
rates and the raiser could then put
fair price on his products. l think that
if stockmen would give this matter lit
tie thought they would see that it is their
only salvation. We should certainly do
something to get out of the clutches of
the combination which now controls the
prices and this is the eaAest solution
can see. All it needs Isl some one to.
work it up anderganize the moFemgu
and hope tosee it done.

Attorney-Genera


For some years past it has been the
wish of large majority of the people of
our state to encourage immigration.
There is nothing that can be
more hurtful to this object than
uncertainty to titles in realty
and our state officers would serve the
interests of the people by promptly
pressing any claims that the state may
have to realty to ultimate decisions,
and these suits should be advanced
Upon the dockets OF our state courts, as
matters of great public interest. If
there is not enough in the cases to JUS
tify such q course then the claims
should be abandoned. The people who
are now our citizens, and those who
are invited to be, should be permitted
to sleep in peace upon their homesteads.
Attorney General Hogg intimates that
he has for sometime been aware of these
illegal patents issued to the Houston
and Texas Central railroad, and action
on his part has been delayed on ac-
count of pressure of business in his de-
partment. 1t is a universal rule of law
that when a man has knowledge of an
offense, and conceals it, he is
equally guilty with the Of
fender, and if the citizens
of Texas and other states have been
duped into the purchase of homes, to
which the state has issued patents, its
highest evidence of titles, and such
patents were known to be Illegal, at
whose door should the offense be laid
more properly than that of the attorney
general, who possessed the information
to invaldate these titles and failed TO
give notice? The excuse Of person of
business would not relieve him of the
responsibility in any cour: of jnstice,
particularly if he had been much seen
during the sumner sitting about the
capitol grounds, and it is believed his
thoughts chiefly occupied in cultivating
his boom for governor. TEXAS.

Lnn- z NJ Hall Cnmmi ssinner General Ian d

Office.
DEAR SIR-The attention of this department
has been drawn TO the fact that the Houston and
Texas Central railroad company has recently
placed all lands claimed by it on the market for
sale; that it is fast disposing of them by
quit claim deeds; that it is procuring patents to
them as fast as possible, and also to the lands
claimed by the Waco and Northwestern railroad
by it as assignee.
Impelled by q sense of duty and propriety
well, this department begs to ask that more
patents claimed by that company receive yoIr
signature for the reasons;
l. That this department deems the assignment
of the Waco and Northwestern claim to the
Houston and Texas Central railway company,
illegal and unauthorized; and that the lands
sought to be conveyed thereby never in fact or
in law were earned from the state by said Waco
and Northwestern.
,. That most if not all, the certificates to the
Houston and Texas Central railroad company
show that it has obtained sixteen sections to the
mile for ''sidings and switches in addition to
every lineal mile of road completed under the
law, thereby acquiring improperly nearly one
million acres of land more than it entitled
to. Action to settle these questions in court
has thus far been delayed on account OF other
important heavy litigation and other duties that
require the undivided attention OF the force in
this department.
Feeling that you have never been fully adj
vised OF the premises, this letter IS, with the
profoundest respect, addressed to you. Your
obedient servant, j. S. HOGG,

Nearly half of the bosses have signifed n willingness to do this and the strikers now now say they will go to work for them and place boycott on those of the bosses who refuse to do so.
