HOTEL GOSSIP.


People may rail- against the great
packing houses OF Chicago as trrst.'
said James Hincklsy. a stockman OF
Grand county. who is at the Cullen hotel,
but they are of wonderful benefit TO the
men Who own the cattle. 1 have seen q
good many things published about these
pig companies as TO their methods of rails
ing prices. but no stcckman who knows his
business viii have anything 10 say against
them.

Joseph. maxi II possible for stockmen to
dispose of large numbers of cattle Now.
suppose there were no large packing con-
Germs. how would we sell cattle? Would
We not md II necessary to hunt up the
butchers and sell in small lots2
But in addition. through the feeding
companies in connection with the stock
yards. stockmen may borrow enough
money to carry their cattle through the
winter. Any man who doesn't want to
on. can borrow money in order to care
for his stock.
Il consider that next to the railroads
the packing companies are the most en-
the country. They have been the means
OF developing the west to very large
extent"
The man who engineered the largest
wool deal in the history of. the west
Charles r. Kelsey of Mountain Home.
Ida.-is at the KnutsfoFd. Mr.. Kelsey is
a merchant OF the Idaho town 1t was
he who purchased 1,000.01O pounds of wool
from Mr.. Noble and sold it to a st. Louis
frm last September.
The price which Mr.. Noble received for
this wool was approximately Sl5oOOH. Mr..
Kelsey would not give the exact figures.
but admitted that this amount was about
correct The wool was the clips of three
years the owner having held during that
time on account OF the low prices Wool

between IL and 10 cents per pound. Mr.
Kelsey secured an option on the wool and
turned II over to the 81. Louis concern,
making handsome profit for himself. 1t
was taken to ST. Louis over the Missouri
Pacific and required forty-nine freight
cars;
three years without having to mortgage
his sheep said Mr.. Kelsey. He had
money enough to do it. which shows that
ne is q very successful stockmaIn- lie
over thirty years ago, and has gradually
built himself up until he is the largest in
dividuai owner of sheep in the United
States. / dom know exactly how many
sheep he owns. but he probably has 5000
head at this time. and the increase next
spring will run them away over 10000
head"
There are many Mormons in Wyo-
ming said NJ. ". Pettigrew. editor of
the Evanston CWyoD Press. who is at
the Kenyon land all of them seem 10
be very prosperous. There are more COM
ing in, too, for arrangements are being
made to send several hundred families
into the Big Horn basin. where there IS
magnificent land. which simply needs
irrigation TO make IL bloom and blossom
There are several hundred families in
and about Evanston. but the most pros
porous and the largest community is in
the Star valley. on the west side OF salt
river, in Uinta county. There are several
fiourishing tOwns-Grover. Freedom and
Alton. Probably there are 1900 in this
valley. where they raise stock, hay and
all kinds OF vegetables.
I'm the Teton basin there are several
hundred families. That is in the western
part of the state and in Idaho. The basin
was once called Pears Hole. the name
having been given by the Hudson. Bay
As was the custom of the
company in locating a trapper. the dis
tfict was called his mole" Pear being
the trapDer left in the Teton basin. 1T
became Pears Hole.
When these several hundred families
are located in the Big Horn basin. the
Mormon's will become quite factor in
the state
