James II. Moore of Fort Worth, Tex,
whose cattle interests exceed those of any
man in the Southwest, is i'll the city. He
was among the guests Mt the Lick yester-
day, but leaves to-day for Montana, where
he has an extensive range.
In conversation last night with GALL
reporter he said: You have heard great
deal, no doubt, or did, few years ago, at
least, of the famous Cattle Kings of the
West, who were supposed to reckon their
wealth by the millions. The business of
raising cattle was conducted on a grand
scale, and at one time the profits were sim
ply enormous. This naturally attracted
capital in large amounts, and wealthy men
from all parts of the world rushed eagerly
into the business of breeding and raising
cattle. The result was over production and
a serious decline in prices. Three years ago
it became evident to those who studied
closely the course of events that cattls-rais-
ing would soon change from large herds on
the range to small herds on the farm. Those
who were shrewd enough to foresee this
took prompt advantage of II, aud to-day
have before them the pleasant prospect OF
good prices aud ready market. AS con-
sequence, however. the days of the cowboy
are numbered, and he is doomed to extine-
ton Just as certainly as was the buffalo and
the Indian. The small farm is crowding
them slowly but surely to the wall, and
in few wears they will be gone"

Stealing with Immunity.

Among the guests at the Palace at pres
ent Is Hon. Joseph Cohen of Red Bluff, who
is credited with owning nearly or quite half
of that portion of the State lying north of
Yuba County Sheep and cattle form the
greater portion of Mr.. Cohen's wealth aside
from his landed interests, and it is said that
in order to acquit man who has been ar
rested for sheep OF cattle stealing it is only
necessary to prove that they were stolen
from Joseph Cohen.

ney Garter last night. II was employed by
Mr.. Cohen to transact portion of his legal

Worthy of JAY Gould.

J. A. Murray of Butte, Mont, who is stop
ping at the Baldwin, is one Of the wealthy
men Of the new State. and his first big stake
was made by stroke of business that
would do credit to the financial genius of
Jay Gould. A few years ago he was knock
ing about the town of Butte with no sign of
a bank account to his credit, but with an
eye to the main chance. In thoSs days, 1t
seems, Federal patent on a mining claim
took precedence over all other titles. and
Murray in uosing about discovered that one
of the most valuable blocks of property in
the city was held on simple Territorial
title, while the land all about it had been
patented under the mining law. He i'm
mediately proceeded to Washington without
diyulging his intentions even to his most in
innate friends. The result was that he Sc
cured patent on the block in question. and
returning to Butte demanded possession.
He dubbed his new acquisition the Smoke
House Lode, and Immediately began opera
tiuns by sinking shaft. The original claim
ants saw that they had been outwitted, and
in the end were compelled to pay something
like $500, 900 to regain their property. With
the money thus acquired Murray plunged
into mining operations, and is now reckoned
q millionaire.

Economy Needed.

Sena tor E. u. Heacock of San Bernardino,
who Is in the city, said last night that those
having in charge the erection of public
buildings had fallen into an extravagsnt
habit in the handling of public money ap-
proprlated for public buildings. which he
considered should be stopped.
Take for instance" he said, "the vari-
Gus homes for the blind, the insane and the
feeble-Ininded. Thousands and thousands
of dollars have been expended in useless
ornamentation which cannot in any way
add to the comfort OF the inmates. Not one
of the unfortunate people who are sent to
those institutions can appreciate the EN-
bellshments which are added to the ex-
terror, and If the money is to be expended
at all it should, in my opinion, go to add to
the comforts of those who are compelled to
60 to those places for treatment"

Experiments have recently been made to
ascertain whether it can be confidently
stated that oil-hardening and anneaiing, or
some such process is necessary for steel

this necessity.
