There never has been much doubt

is strong indication that he has a
good thing. He is as good u mining

DENVER, Jan. N.-The National
Stockgrowers' convention, which has
been in session here for the past three
days, closed today with a grand bar
becue at the Union stock yards,
which thousands attended. The af-
uir was notable, from the fact that
it was probably the last barbecue

The bill fare contained buffalo. elk

with great care anu hundreds oi
walters were kept busy for hours at.
tending to the wants of the guests.
The next convention will be held in
Denver.
The executive committee was in.
structed to make an effort to secure
the building Of a live stock building
at the Omaha exposition. Ex-Gov
Richards of Wyoming read the report
of the committee on resolutions. II
recommended the gathering of sta

THE LIVE STOCK OUTLOOK.
Prospect for Increased Prices for Beef. Mutt
ton and Wool This Season.


[River Press.l
The great meeting of stockmen in
Denver, at which all branches of the
live stock industry are represented, is
an occasion of interest and import
ance to those engaged in the raising
of meat products The proceedings
of the Denver convention indicate a
feeling of hopefulness and confidence
in the live stock outlook, the dele
gates from all over the country be-
ing almost unanimously of the opin-
ion that prosperity will smile upon
the stockman who understands and
attends to his business.
The general expectation OF good
times" for the live stock interests ap-
pears to rest upon a solid fOunda-
ton. Not for several years past has
the situation been 80 full of promise
for q strong demand for the products
of the live stock industry. Last sea-
son witnessed the beginning of this
improved demand, and the year 1895
has opened with favorable indica-
tions that the stOckman will find a
ready and profitable market for ev-
erything that is In the condition re-
quired by consumers. The general
Improvement in the business world
the larger employment of labor and
the public confidence that panic times
have departed, all have a favorable
effect upon the live stock outlook.
The future is bright for the cattle
man. Market quotations of the past
few weeks compare favOrably with
those of the corresponding weeks oi
last year, Notwithstanding the fact
that indiscreet feeders are rushing
half-fat stock to market in larger
numbers than necessary. For we'll
finished beef the top prices have
reached the handsome figure of $3.50
or better. The high figures at which
stock ia held in Oregon, Texas and
other great cattle sections will have
quotations for some time to come;
the purchaser of such stock expects
| to make profit on the transaction,
| and his reluctance or inability to put
1t on the market until the desired
price can be secured will impart
strength to the situation. Theclaim
l that a beef shortage exists has been
SO often made and disproved that
stockmen hesitate to give it further
credence; but recent fruitless search
for steer stock where such can usu-
ally be secured in liberal quantities il
beginning to convince wOuld-be pur.
chasers that there may be something

FARCE CONCLUDED.

Like many another farce, the trial

Tom Pratt. The testimony of DR..
Long, introduced at Bonham's re-
quest, proved just what the defense
wanted, while Wright and King
knew nothing about the case, accord
ing to their own acknowledgment ON
the stand. The testimony of Landt

of the defense was much strength,

To the producers of mutton and
wool the outlook il full of encourage
ment. For the first time in four
years they have reason to be conf
one of profit. The mutton market Is
holding up remarkably well, fed west
erns commanding from 81 up, accord
ing to condition and demand. The
wool market is creeping up to- old
time quotations, and estimates of
the worlds supply of this commodity
seem tn Justify the prediction that
wool prices the coming season will
he pleasant surprise to the grower.
The present statistical condition of
American sheep husbandry is the best
ever known, from the standpoint of
the woolgrower. A comparison be-
tween population and sheep hold
ings, the figures being those OF gov
eminent officials, shows that In 1910
there were 113 head of sheep in the
United States to every 100 of popula-
ton. In 1890, a year of general pros
perity, the figures were Il head OF
sheep to 100 populations; and In 1897,
according to the same authority, the
proportion had declined to 4s to 100.
These statistics, which are believed
to be fairly accurate, indicate a
smaller prospective supply Of mutton
and wool than the uninfOrmed have
anticipated.
The live stock outlook, In all its
branches, is most promising; pros.
perity for an important Montana in.
dustry seems assured.

The whitecappers have broken
out in Titus county and they are
making it hot for imported colored
labor. Their method is to slip up
to the fences in the day time and
fire fussiIade of small shot into
gang of negroes. who invariably
take to their heels in one direction
while the whitecappers ride off IN
another direction. This lawless-
ness on the part of the whites
should be abated. If it is kept up,
many farmers who plant largely of
cotton and using colored labor
alone, will have to abandon their
plantations entirely. Let all good
citizens living where whitecappers
abound lend their services in help
ing the officers to put down the
same.

If those of our people who send
their sons and daughters away to
attend foreign schools, would use
the money they spend in this way
in building up their home schools,
it would be OF incalculabe benefit

the city. As a matter of fact, Tex.
arkana now has as good schools as
can be found in any city in the
South, and any young man or lady,
taking a full course, will come out

But with the help of the money
sent away from here every year,
the educational facilities of our
