THE MEAT COMBINE.
Important Meeting Of Western Stock
Raisers at Kansas City-What
They Propose to Do.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Feb. 25.-Repre-
sentatives OF the stock raising industry
from near y every state and territory west
of the Mississippi river and from Illinois
and Kentucky have practically completed
work of vital importance to cattlemen.
For long time cattlemen have thought
that they were losing through the COM
bines by commission men and large pack
ing houses, which resulted in the sale Of
their cattle at rldiculously low prices. A
scheme OF forming an immense commits
sion company, composed of stock raisers
themselves, had been broached and a
month or SO ago a meeting was held for
the purpose of taking the opening steps
preparatory to such action.
The work has now been practically
finished and the meeting adjourned until
March 4, when the election of officers OF
the new commission company will take
place.
1t was decided to incorporate the COM
pany as the American Live Stock Com
mission company, with capital stock of
$150,000 and headquarters at Kansas City
and Chicago. The corporators will be
Samuel Lazarus of Texas, A. Gregory OF
Illinois and Nicholas T. Eaton and
Thomas B. Buoy OF Kansas City. Articles
of incorporation will be filed at Spring
field, H., on March 2.
The idea of the promoters of this move
ment is to enable them to sell their stock
at the highest prices and with the least
expense possible, and with that end in
view headquarters will be established at
Kansas City and Chicago, with branches
at Wichita, Kas. Fort Worth, Texas, and
possibly Omaha, where stock will be re-
ceived and sold on the commission plan
The new company will not confine its
business to its members, but will receive
stock from others and will do general
stock commission business on large
scale.
One of the most important features of
the movement is the possible effect it may
have on the cattle business of Kansas
City and Chicago. 1t has been the gen.
eral supposition among range men that a
very tight and powerful combine existed
in this city between the commission men
and the packing houses. The members
of the new organization now threaten, if
there is any disposition on the part of the
packing houses here to discriminate
against them after they begin business,
that they will not ship head of stock to
Kansas City, but will send their cattle to
Chicago. 1t is for this reason that the
company will be incorporated in Illinois.
Some idea of the magnitude of the
movement may be had from the fact that
the members of the organization now
have 163, 900 head Of stock ready to bring
to market.
1t is thought that as the movement be-
comes generally understood nearly every
cattle raiser in the west will join the COM
pany and make it a gigantic combination
which will enable the stock raiser to
practically do his own selling.

CERRILLOS RUSTLINGS.

Mr. r. Green will put up another busi-
ness house in Cerrilios this summer.
VIM. Huff, the brick man from San
Pedro, is here preparatory to going into
the manufacture of brick.
A hundred new industries all looking
to Cerrillos for a location, are awaiting the
advent Of the new ratroad.
Cerrillos citizens propose to bring their
town to the front this year, whether the
balance of the territory drags or not.
The roads to both Asn Pedro and the
coal fields are reported very bad, and
teamsters can hardly be induced to keep
their teams at work.
A part of the town site owners of Ger
rillos are positive drawback to its prog
ress. They are not residents, and seem
10th to conder any proposition to sell or
to improve.
G. w. North and Mr. Miller have gone
to Kansas on deal fos stock of general
merchandise They will invoice and
ship, in case the trade is made, requiring
an absence OF several weeks.
G. w. Ackley, who was here few
up location for business, has returned
and gone in partnership with Ernest
Drake in the grain, iced and produce
business.
A gentleman, well ve'sed n mines and
minerals, remarked alAa~v~{-ys 40 that

them live to see more than 10000 men
employed in the various mines of south
ern Santa Fe county.
The tin horn gamblers seem to be flock
ing into Cerrillos. In spite OF the unques-
tionable avocation of these gentry, their
presence at any points accepted by many
as a sign of lively times. "Where the
carrion (money) lies, the buzzard flies. :"
The owners of the Cerrillos coal mines
are loading about ten cars of the black
diamond daily, aggregating l70 tons, and
cash value about $475. This is a neat
little daily revenue. The hauling of the
coal from the mines to the cars, between
two and three miles, gives employment
to large number Of men.
Another big industry will soon open up
for San Pedro, as we learn that force is
to be put on the pipe line from the
Sandia mountains conveying water from
their reservoirs to the placer fields around
San Pedro. This pipe line was built at Il
cost of over million of dollars, but the
immense head of over 800 feet has proven
too great a pressure for the pipes. The
force to be put on will repair the pipes
and get them in condition for active
operations through the summer.

MEXICO'S KICK.
The Jornada Canal as Viewed by Our
Neighbors.

Ell PAso, Feb. ga report to the
Mexican secretary of forcing affairs, made
by Mexican Consul Escobar of this city
on the effect of certain irrigation meas
ures now pending at Washington, has
just been made public. The consul says
that the taking of water from the Rio
Grande in New Mexico for the tornado
del Muerto" & Ell Paso canal company
will result in the decadence and ruin Of
the Mexican towns along the river, whose
only industry is farming by irrigation
with water from the Rio Grande. He
says if such measures are put into opera
ton by the United States the water of
the river will be entirely consumed in
New Mexico, and his people will be de-
prived of any for their use. He claims
for Mexico the first right to that water,
and asks for strong measures by his
country to prevent such injury to its
frontier towns.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-The department
of agriculture, which has been conducting
experiments in southwestern Kansas, by
the aid of Prof. j. A. Sewell, of Denver,
with reference to grasses and the grass
producing possibilities of what is
known as the arid region, announces
as a result the conclusion that the forage
producing qualities OF that section may be
doubled, and perhaps trebled, by cultiva-
ton, both in regard to the native grasses
and others which may be introduced.

phone. As matter of tact the tele-
phone has suddenly come into prominence
as medical proposition, and unless
the scientists are mistaken the bulk of
men and women who use the telephone
within few years may expect TO find
themselves rather hard OF hearing in
the left ear. This Is because when using
the telephone every muscle and nerve of
the ear is strained to catch the faintest
sound from the person speaking at the
other end. DR.. Oliver w Moore, the
eminent eye and ear specialist, was
asked the other day if he had heard of
any cases of deafness from the tele-
phone.
sit is rather difficult to state exactly, -
he replied. 81 have seen where the re-
peated sound of an instrument or the
repetition of any sound has caused deaf
ness. Telegraph operators are in
danger of injurlng their sense Of
hearing. BOiler-makers often suf-
fer from deafness. In the construction
Of boilers it is necessary for one man to
be inside the boiler and the other out
SIDE, and the incessant noise caused by
the Tiveting of the boiler always causes
either deafness or an affection of the ear.
: 5 to the telephone il no doubt has the
same effect. 1t IS natural and reasonable
TO suppose that person listening for a
sound, and not knowing when it VIII
come, may injure the membrane of the
ear, and in time this might affect the
hearing power. -

Where We Stand.
New York Evening Sun.

In the year ending June 30, 1889, esti-
mating the rate Of freight on our i'm
ports and exports at SO a ton, the
United States paid for freight alone the
immense sum of Sl97 $50 900, of which
less than SIS, 900 Gao was paid TO Ameri-
can ship owners. In 1858 American YES
sells carried II per cent. Of all of our ex-
ports and imports, while last year S515
per cent. was carried by foreign vessels
1t is probable that SO ton
is far too high, and that six or seven
dollars a ton would be more nearly
accurate; but this does not detract from
the force of the deduction. The ques-
ton OF restoring our commerce and car
ryIng trade will early attract the atten-
ton of the congress that is about to as
semble, and under promising circum-
stances, particularly as regards the state
OF opinion in and out of congress con-
corning the policy of subsidies. These
figures, while they might be unsafe to
proceed upon, suggest the main facts.
They leave no room for ques ion as TO
where we stand and the Importance of
prompt and liberal action by congress.

4 COMMERCIAL VACUUM.
Il Exists in Texas and Must Be Filled.
Where Millions of
EsOple Are Going TO Buy GoOds-The Raw Ma
teriaI at Home and the Market
at Hand.
New Birnningham Times.


The people of Texas are almost entirely
dependent on Northern and Eastern
manufacturers for the goods they use in
their daily avocation. The state is, com
raratively speaking, without factories or
manufacturing enterprises. While this
the uudeniable truth it will not be long
So. There is a commercial vacuum here
and as nature abhors a vacuum SO does
commerce.. and there must in the very
necessity of things in general be estab-
a,apd at once many manufacturing
plants. Here il endless quantity are
found the raw material for factories,
etc, while the people are now
compelled TO pay exorbitaut freight rates
IN addition to the original cost of the ar
tcle they may wish to buy. This is not
all. Eastern factories are coming to
Texas and getting these raw materials,
taking them thousands Of miles, convert
Ing them into their wares, and then SELL
lg them to the people back here, who
have the freights both ways TO pay. As
clllustration of this, the following from
The Livingstone PineTy is printed: a
tlruture dealer told the PineTy man, 4
few days ago, that he had just bought a
carload OF furniture in Indiana made from
holly. grown in East Texas. The man
Who buys this furniture will have to pay
TIE freight from here to Indiana, and
from the factory in Indiana back TO Polk,
together with all the handling of the
lumber. We Just state this one item to
show what an euteTprIsing people we are;
al the same time how liable we are to
charge up our poverty to excessive
.7a.guts and trusts. Can we expect any
.a.lE better than TO be gouged when we
e2re SO many gaps down for enteTprisIng
sgu-ers to get their work III on us?
legislation can never protect us from
ENG hewers of wood and drawers of

The resources by which we are surround

Utilize our heritage, feed and clothe us.
Lut we should be thankful that there are
5l.erprising neighborS, who will furnish
all our wants if we but be their servants.
here is the law of supply and demand,
aud this law is lmmutable, and the
sooner we realize that to be prosperous
ne must be in a condition to supply
our wants at home the better. -
i Is proper for the Pinery TO notice this
Strange condition in commerce, but 1t
'-0uli not blame the people Tor 1t. There
DE hundreds of men now at work at

relief lies in the success that may accom-
laav these efforts. The minerals and

A PRINCESS CARRIERS.
The Thirteen Pairs that Are Being Made for the
Kaiser's Sister.

The Thirteen Pairs that Are Being Made for the
Kaiser's Sister.
The Prussian princess, sister of En-
peror William, who is about to be mar
ried, is having made for her thirteen
pairs of very splendid carriers, says the
New York World. She does not mean
to add all these to her trousseau, though
among them is that traditional
pair of new and blue ssocking sup
porters said to bring brides luck, and this
one is the thirteenth, made of pale-biue
silk and clasped with buckles set with
large diamonds. Another pair will be
put away with the rest of the HobenZol-
leTn collection of carriers in the museum
at Berlin, and the rest viii be distrlb-
uted among the mobiles who attend
the Greek prince, her husband. This
is a rule of a very ancient custom that
survives nowhere now save in the reign
ing family of Germany. In frauker and
ruder ages it used to be the privilege of
the best man, when the bride was about
to retire with her attendant maidens, to
unfasten her garter and keep it as
trophy. There was always somewhat of
a dispute about it, custom requiring
that the groom should resist the at
tempt and that the best man should in
sist upon his privilege. With the growth
OF more refined manners the custom nat
urally fell into disuse, and the only relic
of it is i'll the comic opera of 'FLa Jolie
Parfumeuse, - and in the marriage GUS
toms of the German royal family. The
form it takes with them, however,
is that the princess should have
prepared thirteen pairs of carriers, all of
them having buckles with her initials set
in diamonds, and of these she wears one
pair herself, bestows one pair on the
reigning sovereign, and distributes the
others among her husband s attendants,
the eleven of the highest rank getting
this bridal favor. There is a very
curious collection of these royal carriers
in the Berlin museum, some fifty or
sixty in all, many of them extremely
rich and handsome, and some very queer
ones from the past generations OF prin-
cesses. Some of those deposited in the
reigns of Frederick William III and ".
are marvels of elaborate needIework and
bullion fringes and are buckled with the
finest jewels.
