Tramp Cattle.

Stockmen who are very sanguine that cattle don't drift from the home ranges will be surprised to know that 200 miles is not, after all, the straying limit. Lin Mansker. of the 101 ranch, returned Satur- day from the Pecos, a distance of 225 miles below Clayton. He be- gan with the round-ups there, work ing eighty miles below Sumner to the Canadian, and found in all 100 head of this county's stock which had drifted away. The 101, Cross L, Triangles and Pitchfork compa- nies had stock there. and he inform ed us that he drove back six steers of the Keystone, besides many cat tie belonging to individuals, a num- Der from the Tramperas and Ute creek. This is the first time man has been sent to the Pecos country for six years and the result is cer- tainly surprising. One should be sent each season.-Raton Indepen- dent.

It pays for a man to use his brains once in while. So thought MT. J. NJ. Mullen, as he gazed at a mound on his ranch at Centennial Creek. Dried up warm springs, In dian tradition, called them. Mr. Mullen dug a 10-foot we'll and found them very comfortable cold springs. He further found that about GOO feet away the land was lower than this well. So he arranged a finch syphon pipe, attached a pump, ex- hausted the air and started water flowing from the we'll to his corral. Now he can water 800 cattle with out a cent for canal rates or any other expense. Mir. Mullen is in town to-day and would be glad to have any Harqua Hala pilgrim drink at his Centennial well, seven ty-five miles west of here, before he resumes his journey to the Centen- nial mines and a fortune.-Phenix Herald.

ties" halted him, asking if he had purchased the animal, and on re- ceiving an affirmative answer, offer ed $100 for the horse. The farmer teld him he would be back soon and let him know, drove back, paid the $80, returned and took $lOO and cleared out for home, having made $20 in twenty minutes. Later the buyer and the original seller each went home thoroughly disgusted, as Stuart Robson would say, with he's own self.

Will Smith returned from Solo, knoxville yesterday morning, where he has been on official business. He informed the Star yesterday, that the stock association want Wilfred Webb who is charged with brand. ing cattle belonging to Messrs. Leitch & Gallagher. The associa- ton has put up $500 to prosecute the case against Webb, who is now held on a charge of being connect ed with the robbery of Paymaster Wham.-Tucson Star.

A cattleman says that if the cat tie market had kept in it's downward course with the newspaper reports concerning it. a good fat steer would now be worth about $75 less than nothing. while the truth of the busi- ness is that good cattle are worth as much as they ever were. The com mon cattle from the impoverished western ranges do not bring big prices, and they never will. But the man who will raise good stock will generally find market at remune- rative prices.-stock Grower,

While crossing Bear river, Colo. rado, on horseback, Cole Younger, a cowboy was drowned. A con- panion named Williams brought the news of the accident to Evan ston. He told several contradic- tory stories of the affair and was arrested, charged with having kill ed Younger. Both men were noto- riously bad characters. They had been companions in a number of cat4le stealing adventures, but late' ly had quarreled. The river is be- ing dragged for the recovery of Younger's body, which is expected te prove the theory that Williams killed Younger and threw his body in the river. Cole Younger is we'll known in Arizona and New Mexico. Silver City Enterprise.

The passing year is the first in which northern range men have locke to New Mexico and Arizona for their supply of young steers to mature on their beef ranges. Many thousand head are going that way this year. The northern buyers find here a class of cattle that suits them, and the number thus called for will increase annually ; the buy CTS of this year will return next and bring their neighbors with m.-San Marcial Reporter.

The demand has arisen for some provision for a thorough inspection of cattle brands at the large ship ping points. It is said that in a shipment of 2,OOO head of cattle from Magdalena this week, no less than twenty stray" were included. As long as the parties principal are men of such known integrity as Holt Bros. and Upcher, Stevens & Burr, no loss to any one will accrue, but in many hands the results would be different. If the law pro vides nothing adequate, the cattle men should apply remedy for mu- tual protection.-San Marcial ke- porter.

The exports of live cattle and dressed beef are assuming large pro- portions. A Chicago shipper re- gently had 95O,OOO placed to his credit in Liverpool to draw against for shipments of live cattle. To ac- commodate this great trade every regular line of steamers which leaves the United States is used, ex- cept the Cunnrd. The National Line carry no passengers. All the space is now devoted to live stock. The exports have been as high as 4,20O cattle a week. Reeves are said to be high in pricein England,while here they are cheap, and the great corn crop of last summer has been used to put them in better condi- ton than ever before. Morris, East man and Swift & Co.,, are the prin- cipal shippers.-Stock Grower.

The blackleg that appeared among the cattle between Florence and Casa Grande a few weeks ago, has about disappeared, but not until quite a large number of cattle died from its effects. Mr. J. F. Mayhew, whose herd suffered the greatest losses from the disease, found that the cattle supplied with water from his we'll were the only ones affected
 and he discontinued supplying them with it. The result was the complete eradication of the disease from the herd.-Phnnix Tribun9.

,Rah for Arizona.

The worlds championship rop- ing contest came off at West Albu- querque Sunday as per announce ment. McGary roped and tied his three bovines in six minutes and five seconds and was declared the winner of $2 GOO owing to the fact that he bested Moody. the Texan, who required eight minutes, nine teen and one half seconds in which to perform the work"
 The Albuquerque Citizen has a fuller account, from which we copy :
 Tt was about three o'clock when five large wild steers that were feed ing on the grass at the lower part of,the grounds were driven to their place preparatory to opening the contest.
 Two flags were placed in the ground at about hundred feet apart between which the wild steers were driven.
 The person rcping was about a hundred feet from the flags and could not start until the steers got on line between the flags; being chased by two COW boys.
 The rains made the grounds so horribly muddy and slippery that it was utterly impossible to make the roping in anything like good time, but as it was just as fair for one as the other the word was given by the judges to start.
 George Moody, of Texas, opened the ball. As the steer passed be- tween the flags Moody, of Texas, started, but owing to the mud it was hard work to down the steer after it was caught. He had hog tie on the steer in 30 minutes, and threw up his hat.
 Charles McGary next started for his steer. He did not have a good horse and went nearly quarter of 3 mile before he downed and tied his steer in 1 :58 minutes.
 Moody then started for his second steer but the rain came down a:rd the horse slipped and splashed, and he doWned and tied the steer in ? 2:124 minutes.
 McGary then started for his second steer. He caught and downed him in half minute but when he jump ed from his horse it slacked the rope so that the steer jumped up and run; he had to jump on his horse and down the steer again, but as he jumped from his horse it did. the same thing again, so that he had to throw the steer three times before he tied it, which was finally done in 1 :59.
 Moody, ot Texas, was now ahead about 12 secands on the two steers and bets were quite heavy that he would win the contest. Moody now started for the third steer. The rain poured worse than ever; the horse slipped and he had to throw the steer several times before he could tie it, and when he was just ready to tie it, he discovered. that had lost his rope in the grass, and had to call to McGary to let him have his rope, and by the time he got his steer tied and threw up his hand, it was 1 :35 minutes. Now the betting changed to McGary with but few takers.
 McGary started for his third steer. He quickly performed the best feat of the day, and had his steer down in just II seconds, and if he then only had a horse that was worth anything for that busi- ness, he would have made the best time on record in the world, and would have had his steer tied in about 2 seconds, But the horse fooled him again, the steer jumped and run for the fence of the race track, jumped over a four-foot fence with six-foot ditch in front of the fence, onto the race track and Me-

QUARTERLY REPORT.

The report of the reading room which
should have been given October 1st.
was delayed on account of the inability
OF the secretary to collect dues, etc., and
we would like to urge here, that all
subscribers pay to our manager, Mrs
Belknap, at the rooms, as the secretary
finds so little time tc go out personally
and collect. The loom is in good
hands, is kept comfortable and tidy,
and is well appreciated by many young
men as they have thus testified.
New book placed on the shelves
during the past month are as follows:
Full set of Scott's works, twelve vol
umes. Full set of Geo. Elliot's, six
volumes. Shakespeare, one volume.
The last Judgment, one volume. And
Babylon destroyed. Wide awake, a
monthly periodical. N. Y. Voice,
weekly. Harper's monthly.
Steps are being taken to secure the
daily Oregonian and keep it on file.
We do not now have it. Our local pa
pers, GAZETTE, Leader, Times, also
Union Signal, Pacific Express can be
found on file. We hope to have many
of the leading periodicals soon. A tull
Set of the congressional war records
will be found on the shelves for refer
ence.
D. Lamberson donated large load o
wood for which the management of the
rooms offer thanks. Nothing could be
more acceptable, as wood must be had
and we wish Others having wood,
would follow the example of this friend
and go and do likewise. A can of oil
was donated by I. Bell, SO we are sure
of good light for awhile.
We believe that the citizens are be-
coming to feel more and more the value
of a free reading room. There is yet
much to be done before ours will reach
the standard we desire it to, but we feel
safe to say that with the cooperation
Of those interested it will reach and keep
up to the desired standard.

THE FOURTH ONE.

Another smashup occurred on the
east side O. & C. on Friday night last
about 10 o'clock. 1t was caused by a
switch being out of order. The tender
of the locomotive, and three cars
were derailed. The fireman was
terribly bruised and has since <died.
The engineer escaped unhurt. S. H.
Friendly, of Eugene, was on the
wrecked train and his berth was the
first one in the front end of the
wrecked sleeper. His escape from a
horrible death was narrow one. lust
before the wreck occurred he ordered
the porter to arrange his bed and while
waiting he thought he would step into
the next car behind and smoke while
he waited. Just as he reached the
other car and before the porter had
commenced to arrange the bed, ter
rife shock was felt and the train came
to stand still. Rushing to the plat
form nothing but escaping smoke, and
steam could be seen, but it was
certain the train was off the track.
The car in which Mr. Friendly had
his berth had plunged into a freight
car loaded with railway iron and the
whole end ofth csr was torn to pieces.
His berth was wreck. Had the ac-
cident happened a few moments Later
he perhaps would have been killed
Ell. Pape, of Corvallis, was also on the
train on his way to Jacksonville to act
the part as bridegroom in his owr
wedding. This is the fourth smashur
to happen between Salem and Eugene
since the 2Sth Of July. The other
three were, one at Albany in which by
a misplaced switch Engineer .Bie
Jack" and Fireman Guthrie met death
another near Turner caused by fccl
of sheep; and the Halsey wreck caused
by COWS obstructing the track, which
resulted in the death of Fireman VIM
