WANING CATTLE TRADE.
Increasing Difficulties Of Driving Herds
from Texas 10 Montana.

from Texas To Montana.
Mr.. Stoddard, wealthy cattle king
who resides in New York city, arrived
here several days ago from Denver.
says a Pm" Buff, Wyo., corr espon-
dent Ol the Omaha Bee. to meet his
large drove Of cattle on the trail. He
has from ten to fifteen thousand head
that left San Antonio, Tex, over three
months ago. The advance herd of 3, 800
head arrived Monday laal, while hls
seroad herd arrived Wednesday, with
1900 head. These two immense herds
of two-year -olds were all suld 30 q syn
dictate Of capitalists who reside 10 Chi.
cago. They have formed IA clmp.ny
known as the Dakota Cattle Company
OF Montsns.
Mr.. SiuddaTd says as q reason for
selling 20 many eat L. that the range
Is becoming moIe limited each year.
His advance herds were three to five
weeks longer on the trail than last year
on account If Icing obliged To leave
the old Texas trail ut 20 many places
and drive them from fifty TO huu-
dred miles to ge, around fences, a, the
homesteadeIs are fencing in all the
water, making ii impossible to follow
the old trail.
His foreman Gf the advance herd
stated briefly that this would be their
last year on the old trail BY next
spring it would be impossible to get
water for 70 many cst,le ut time. II
such be the case they will have to open
up new trail from Texss TO Montana
by way of eastern New Mexico and
western Colorado, which, they claim,
is almost impossible. for streams are 20
few aud far between. Water IL found
on the old trail every ten to fifteen
miles. a good days drive for large
herd OF cattle. Should they fail t. find
suitable trail next year to drive over,
shipping by rail would be their only
resource, which, 1t IL claimed, would
cost so much, and raise the expense Of
marketing these cattle, that it would
be improbable. Thus ii can plainly
be seen that our immense cattle busi-
ness of the west will soon be thing
Of the past.
Texas always furnishes most all OF
the 'wo-yesr- raised 10 the west,
while Colorado, Wyoming aud Mon
tans furnish the grass 10 feed these
cattle until fit for market. Colorado
is fast becoming farming state, while
eastern Wyoming is settling up fast by
thrifty farmers, and as soon a. ihe
overland trail between Texas and
Montana il closed the cattle busines.
will be Improbable. The spring drive
will reach forty or fifty thousand head.
IL Is claimed by cattle men direct
from Texas that fully that many will
be ready by February next and double
that amount by May next, TO drive
north. Should Wyoming and Mon
tsna fail to take these cattle and feed
them until fit to market, Texas cattle
raising on such large scale would soon
end.
This range was never better than IL
is this spring, and cattle are rather ad.
vanced than in former years. Rain
has fallen continuously fer the last
two months, and what crops have been
sowD in eastern Wyoming are grow
ing splendidly. Homesteaders who
fiocked Ia here and western Nebraska
last year, are very confident and claim
that what was known only a few
years ago as the Great American Des-
ert, will raise large crops in a very few
wears,
