NEWS OF THE WEST.
Big Sale of Cattle.

Boise Statesman: John Sparks, the
cattle king of Idaho and Nevada, is in
the city from Reno, New, and will re-
main here several days on business.
Mr. Sparks has sold 5000 head of
yearlings and 2-year-old cattle, which
he will deliver this month to Nebraska.
The purchase price for this stock was
SIS per head. Shipment will be made
from Tacoma, New. Mr.. Sparks con-
siders the price now paid for cattle as
abnormally high He. says there has
been a gradual diminution of the herds
of the west for a number of years, and
the present demand is enormous. The
low price of few years ago, he says,
was responsible for a partial cessa-
ton in cattle breeding on the western
ranges. Land has become so valuable
in the middle states that breeding there
has been abandoned. The enormous
corn crops of the past two years IN Kan
sas and Nebraska has greatly increased
the demand for feeders and the men
engaged in this branch OF the cattle
business depend entirely upon the west
ern ranges for their supply.
Mr. Sparks herds are now stationed
along the border between Idaho and
Nevada.

A familiar sight in Casper every
spring has returned again, and great
numbers of long string freight teams
are to be seen constantly at the freight
yards, unloading huge sacks at the
wool warehouses. So vast is the extent
of the wool business for three months
in the spring of the year in Casper,
that seldom during all that time does
one team unload and drive off, without
others waiting TO drive on the plat
form.
Perhaps the largest private reser-
Voir vet constructed in Wyoming is

several hundred feet across a narrow
passage between two hills, thus stor-
ing a vast body of water, more than

be kept for the hot dry season, when
the streams fail in their supply. Mr.
Carey is personally experimenting the
work of construction and looking after

EXCITES GERMAN ENVY.
Irritation of This Power Over Our
Possession of Philippines.

Irritation of This Power over Our
Possession of Philippines.
New York, May 5.-A special to the
World from Berlin says:
THE excited interest the Germans
are beginning to take in the ultimate
fate OF the Philippines is betrayed by
the newspapers. The interests of the
German possessions in the western
Pacific, part of New Guinea, the Bis
mack archipelago, the Solomon islands
and the Marshal islands, all near the
Philippines, make Germans consent
necessary, it is assumed here, TO any
disposition of the Philippines.
Germany would only agree to the
transfer of the Philippines to another
power it is asserted, on condition that
she received suitable compensation
A great deal of irritation is sure 10
be engendered by the taking OF the
islands by the United States.
The Kreuz Zeitung says that If the
Monroe doctrine means America for
Americans" it ought also to mean
the Americans only for America.
