From the Kings and Queens Of the Range.
The civil var that ragged in our land q third
OF a century ago operated in n Numerically OPP
positc manner on tho two sections OF the United
States known us the Southwestern and tho
Northwestern States. In tho former. composed
chiefly of the State of Texas, all access to out
side markets was cut oil 10 live stock. The
Union forces p~atrollcd with gunboats tho Mis-
sissippi River, and 10 herds could be taken
across TO feed the main rebel armies; cattle
could not be shipped to Cuba for fear OF almost
certain capture by war vessels ON tho Gulf pas
snges. and they could not be safely driven north
or west.
so Texns's 5000 600 cattle multiplied like
yermin in an army camp, upon the rangca OF
Texas. where they ceased to have "a cash value
and became only an article of barter. seventy
five head heing exchanged for n good saddle
horse ana 100 head for n two-horse. wagon. The
stores in the grazing regions exchanged goods
and wares for them, liking Il ridiculOusiy low
scale OF prices for tho live stock, payable in
goods. &G., from tho store. This state of affairs
continued until two years after The war closed.
In the Northwest tho supply Of live stock was
depleted to feed tho Union armies. and for two
or three years after tho close OF the war re-
manned scarce and dear In price. 80 that tho
masses OF laboring men and factory operatives
could scarce afford beef upon their tables

James Houck, Nicc.Prcsident Of the Franklin

Young steer hnd strayeh away from his, farm.
tenantcd by Harlan Itamsburg. near this city.
Nothing was heard of tho animal and H. was
given up for lost. until Friday one of the colored
men noticed several hens frequently going In a
holo in a straw stack in the barnyard. Thinking
they had n nest. he crawled in about fifteen feet
In search Of tho eggs. He came ont muCh quicker
than he had gone in, declaring the stuck vas
haunted. az something had kicked him. Another
man was sent in to investigate and he came ont
eXClaiming that something was alive In there,
ms no felt a hairy leg. and IL had also kicked his
hand.
An investigation was thon made and n lprGe

cable hoists and one incline railway,
used to carry men and material to the
line of operations. A ride in a bucket
up one of these cable hoists is pleasant
and exciting, but one needs good nerves
to travel 1900 feet in midair at an angle
of As or so degrees, especially when the
downward trip is made in about min
ute. AT other places are pumping sta
tions sending water above for the con-
creting. One of these pumps is hy-
draulic ram, operated merely by the
force Of the stream.
At a point in the canyon where tun-
mel No. l opens the solid granite walls
are only 100 feet apart, while receding
back for several miles Is an almost fiat
basin made by the junction of the two
valleys.
From the mouth of the first tunnel
to the pressure pipe line, which con-
veys the water to the Pelton wheels in
the power-house, is a distance of four
miles, and the fall is only nine and
one-half feet to the mile. OF this three
and one-half miles is in eighteen tun-
nels Of varied length and the rest in a
few stretches of fluming. The tunnels
are all four feet wide by six feet and
eight inches high. The roofs are
arched and where the formation of the
mountain is not sufficiently solid to
withstand the action of the water the
tunnels are lined with concrete foot
in thickness. The SAND when IS l1aple
to wash into the tunnels is gotten rid
of by an immense sand box with two
compartments, which can be flushed
out alternately It is located at the
end of the first tunnel. There is another
also at the end of the line SO that not
a grain can reach the pressure pipes.
The power-house is a plain building,
130x40 feet in size, with a high steel
truss, corrugated iron roof. The walls
are of concrete two feet thick and be-
sides supporting the roof, hold up a
fifteen-ton travelling crane of the most
approved pattern. The power-house
and It's furnishings do not strike one
