Texas as a. Cattle State.

Some idea of how Texas ranks in
cattle, and what sort Of territory is
tributary to this market can be
found by making few comparisons
from the report of the Department
of Agriculture at Washington.
Texas has 949, 1926 more steers than
Oklahoma, Indian Territory, Colo
RADIO, New Mexico, Arizona: Wyom-
ing and Utah combined. In COWS
alone she has At OLA more than those
states and territories all put to-
gether. Take the combined states
of Missouri. Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa
and Illinois, from which Chicago,
Omaha, St. Louis and Kansas City
derive their principal support, and
they have only ,674 1862 more steers
than has Texas. Take all of the
feeding states comprising those just
named and add Indiana, Ohio, Mich
igan and Kentucky and the whole
lot lack 377 1854 of havirg twice as
many steers as Texas. This state
alone can support an immense cattle
market but when it is considered
that New Mexico, Arizona, Indian
Territory and old Mexico with at
least $500, 900 head of cattle are
nearer here than to any other cen
tral selling point and interstate and
export shipments are easier of ac-
cess and more practicable from here
than from present killing centers, it
is small wonder that the Reporter
should claim this as the most natural
market point on the continent

would have been benefited? The man
ufacturer, because he might have made
and handled less goods. made double
profit, and really have gained, as he
would have had fewer to handle for the
same profit.
This bill will increase the manufac-
turers profits on the individual arti-
cles, but will lessen the power of the
people to buy or use his wares.
1T is the poverty of the buyer, not
the producer, that must be relieved be-
tore things will thrive.
The manufacturer has every facility
to produce, but no facility to sell.
1T is the consumption that must first
be stimulated. and that will stimulate
production.
There are but few crumbs in this
bill to aid the oppressed farmer of the
interior or the laborer. but thousands
of things to further oppress him.
Higher sugar. higher salt. higher lum-
her. higher clothing, higher marufac-
tured products and absolutely nothing
to raise the price of labor-a high tariff
on 1abor's products, limiting the de-
mand for his labor by narrowing the
market. but throwing the ports wide
open for the free importation of other
laborers from foreign countries to free
ly compete with his work.

woman feels that for that day OF all
others she needs a new hat and
while she wants a nice one she wants
to get it as cheap as possible.
There has never before in Rapid

before the best is gone-you can

The Transgressors Hard Road.

Judged. L. Stotts returned Satur-
day from Cheyenne, where he held
court for Judge Scott, who has been
indisposed for several months says
the Sundance (Wyo) Monitor. On
Saturday evening court convened
here and the Smith and Hume case
speedily disposed Of. The older
Hume boy and Smith pleaded guilty
to the charges against them and
were sentenced to two and three
years respectively. The younger
Hume was discharged, the court
taking in consideration the boys
tender age and the influences that
had been brought to bear upon him
to get him into trouble. The SEN
tences are lighter than had been an
ticipated by those who were familiar
with the crimes for which they we're
imposed and the prisoners themselves
were undoubtedly agreeably sur
prised.
In his address to the Hume boy
the judge stated that he (Hume) was
perhaps not altogether to blame for
the trouble which will lead him to
the penitentiary; that if he had been
raised differently he would have in
all probability been better man.
1t appears that the Hume boys
mother is not just what she ought
to be. But from what we can learn
their father is an honest christian
man and was for years superintend
ant Of a Sunday school at Rapid
City, S. D., where the family resid
ed for eight years. For the past
three years Mr.. and Mrs. Hume have
not lived together. The former has
a ranch in the Big Horn basin and
has lived there for two years. The
two Hume boys who have been in
jail here made their father a visit
last summer and it was on their re-
turn from this trip that they met
the young man Smith, who joined
them and returned to this country
with them. The history of Smith S
career is also quite interesting. He
says he is the youngest of a large
family of children and that his par
ents aoused him to such an extent
, that he thought best to leave his
Nebraska home. At the age of Is
years he ran away and has made his
own ivinu ever since. Last fall a
brother of his was shot and killed in
d fight in Sheridan county. Smith
gives his age as 26. VIM. Hume,
the oldest son, says he will be 20
next September and that his brother
Jesse is sixteen months younger.
They have a younger brother a.
home near Spearfish.
In regard to the report that the
leader of the pilfering gang is a
Mexican. young Hume said he had
been with the boys only a few days
but did not know of any Mexican
being with them on their plundering
eXpedi ions and did not believe the
report. The boys intended to take
their plumber north to the Lit, Ie
Missouri river, wnere they anticipat
I'd taking up ranches. The prison
ers were taken to the peni,entiary
