THE stOckmen are themselves the
doubling Thomases of every effort to
secure refrigeration plant, cold stor-
age and regular shipments of dressed
beef from Texas. Conversation with
them reveals but little faith in them
selves, and one is tempted to repeat
the enquiry. Why are we so fearful,
O. We of little faith There is lack
of unity among the stOckmen that
must be overcome before any inn
provement in the situation is possible.
The stockmen must have faith in
each other or there can be no concert
of action among them, and without
such concert of action there will be
no results. 1t is very discouraging to
hear prominent stOckmen say, 1T
will come to nothing, " II wish it could
be done, but the stOckmen won't do
anything" "My opinion is that it
will end in smoke" The cattlemen
discourage each other, instead of en-
one another, and this
scheme for dressed meat plants in
Texas needs all the encouragement
possible.

which it should grant as matter of
simple justice to relieve the people of
grievances which We're fast growing in

length. He said all the Congressman
with whom he had talked seemed very
favorable to granting the requests in
the memorial.
Captain Carroll also spoke of a propo-
sition he was willing to make on the
part of the solid citizens of the Territory
if Congress did not think Alaska of
enough importance to give it system of
Jurisprudence and all the facilities and
rights it had granted every other outly-

was empowered to offer the sum of S14.-
600. 900 for the Territory and would pay
it over in $50 gold pieces on the shortest
sort of notice. This was $500. 600 more
than it cost, not to speak of the big
yearly profits the Government has
taken for sealing privileges. The offer.
he said. was bona fde and he was sure
if those making the offer had complete
ownership, whatever flag was raised
they could secure the people popular
