Percentage Against Players.

Faro is considered the one game at
which the player has anything like an
even chance for his money. All 9TH
ers bear a heavier percentage against
him, and particularly is this true of
roulette. This game, while most
avoided by the experienced. proves the
most fascinating to the uninitiated. The
droning turn and telling click of the
marble as it falls into one of the
thirty-eight compartments. seldom
fails to attract the newcomer from the
corner where. hour after hour the SIM
pie process of removing one card from
the top of another is carried ON. But,
nevertheless, roulette has its veteran
devotees, and though surprising, it is
very common to see the gray-haired
lounger shuttle past the bank and de-
post his pennies on the field surround
ing the wheel of striking colors.

BIG COMBINE OF CATTLEmEN
PROPOSED ROUNDUP OF 100000
HEAD IN TEXAS.
Expenses Are to Be Reduced and
All the Profits to GO to the Range
Men.

New York, July 29.-The Herald says:
The roundup of 100000 head of cattle
on the ranches in the Panhandle dis
trict of. western Texas and in eastern
New Mexico is contemplated by the
promoters of the ppposed consolidated
cattle company.
A large proportion of the profits
which should be derived from the sale
of Texas and New Mexico cattle in the
beef market is diverted to the northern
range men, With view to remedying
this, the Texas cattlemen have pooled
their interests. 1t is proposed that
New York capital to the amount of
s25. coo, 600 should be invested in the
new company. To that end options
have been given to George p. Loving,
who represents the cattlemen of Texas
and New Mexico, and who is at present
in this city.
Mr. Loving was seen at the Waldorf
Astoria. He is the editor and publisher
of the Texas Livestock and Farm Jour
nal. He conducts a livestock commits
sion business in San Antonio, Tex,
Fort Worth and Dallas. and for many
years he has been identified with cattle
interests in the southwest. Mr.. Low
ing showed options covering 25.OOOoGO
acres of ranch land in Texas and New
Mexico OF this vast district 100000
acres are held in fee simple, and are
leased to the ranchmen, and the re-
mainder is government land. held by
right of prior occupancy. More than
600. 600 head of cattle Craze upon this
land The district covered by the con-
templated company embraces 300 miles
from north to south in Texas, and
about 200 miles east and west in that
state and New Mexico. Asked as 10
the advantages which the ranchmen
expect to derive if the proposed COM
pany becomes a fact, Mr.. Loving said:
i believe that expenses can be large
~ reduced b. such combination as
is proposed. 1t has been the rule in
Texas and New Mexico that cattle at
two years old have been taken over by
range men from Montana and Dakota,
driven off to the ranges, there matured
and sold as beef on the Chicago mar
Set. with large profits to the range
men. We believe that by such a COM

When Banks Were Closed.

1t was something over year ago
that Chief of Police Pratt issued an
edict suppressing games of chance in
Salt Lake City. And as was we'll known
at the time, gambling had gained
foothold, locally, that to overcome
would be no easy matter. Driven from
the houses practically licensed to carry
on the business-however illegitimate-

refuge in the poker rooms Astounding
in the city, where no intrusion was
likely to occur. In al least one-third of
the saloons of Salt Lake a nightly
game of draw was in full blast, and
the Sums of money lost decreased but
slightly from the winnings of the closed
houses. The proprietors of these pro-
tested. AS long as gambling was to
continue, they asserted, the injustice
worked upon them in thus being de-
prived of practicing the profession they
had selected. and gaining their point, it
was but few weeks before the second
order came, granting them the right to
open, but combining the gambling dis
