Maybe that's so, but it ought not to
be. just because the cattlemen live in
the north end and the land owners in
the south they ought not to quarrel"
replied Harry Morse, son of Banker
Morse, and just home from college.

gested somebody, land let's meet to-
morrow night. Fourth of July will be

Harry on his wheel met Led Norton,
the son of the owner of Hat Six ranch,
on horseback day later and the two
young men rode side by side across the
level plain for time. Harry told his
companion of the arrangement.
That's all right" was the reply
THE north end is goin' to perform, too.

1t has taken people Of intelligence. ma
with great Interests at stake a long time
to discover that the natural course of trade
has been mapped out by physical laws.
For years the commerce of the West has
been going across the rivers and to the
TAR East instead Of following the easiest
and quickest route 10 the ocean which the
Western rivors have travelled The lesson
OF natural laws has al last been learned
however. The Southern route is now rec
ognized as the proper and profitable one
for Western trade. This grain and trade

sembed for the purpose Of devisng ways

nels of trade that will carry the Vests
products to the Southern scaboard and be-
yond and take back the cotton. the carly
vegetables, the fruits. lumber and other
commodities from the Gulf States and the
imports from abroad
The deliberations of the congress demon
strated the clearnoss of purpose and the
enthusiasm back of this movement to bring
the South and West into closer commercial
relations. Great currents of trade can
not be changed in day. The business ot
tho railroads Is involved and time and
effort will be required to accomplish this

with his clothes ell bloody and told a sim
liar story Of having been held up by high
waymen The police sent him home in a
patrol wagon, and \ small army of detec-
tivos was put 10 work on the case.
Highway robheries in that section of the
city have been very frequent of late. ON

When Stanford saw Cunnin,; CHAM le said
that the police need lonk no further for the
man who had shot him. He said that
Cunningham himself was the culprt. He
was positive of this not only because of
the young mans personal appearance. but
because of the location of his wounds. He
said that he had been approached ly the
robbers from behind and when they at
tackled him he had shot the one nearest him
twice under the arm The mans companion
had shot Stanford and both had then run
away.

ground on which the shooting was alleged
by Stanford to have taken place and found

lying in the mud They then placed Cum
ningham under arrest and are tonight busy
trying TO locate his companion. The news
has created a tremendous sensation. hut it
is believed by tho police that Cunningham
