cured in government grants and which
have been causing some threats OF Hti-
cation with the government During
the years of depression this road has
been holding fast to its remaining s. $780,
600 acres Of the original u O00, 900 acres
granted il by the United States govern
ment, but now that good times are
again in sight, 1t IS unloading at prices
that are good, vet lower than the mar
ket figure. This year is the first of a
series in which the road expects to dis
pose of 100000 acres a year This
statement was made by c. E Want
land, special land agent Of the Union
Pacific.
He said, too, that the road was able
to dispose of so much land because cat
tie and sheep men are more prosperous
and are purchasing their own ranges
A third of the $500, 600 acres to be dis
POSED of as rapidly as possible, lies in

in Wyoming. The prices of the land
being sold range from so cents to SO
an acre and the price averages about s.
an acre. so that this road will have sold
81 coo 900 worth of land during the year
If the prediction of Mr. WantIand
proves to be correct. It looks very much
as If the estimate were founded on a

CATTLE FOR CUBA.
Immense Shipments to Be Made Out
of Old Mexico

FL Paso, Oct 1S.-An immense ship
ment Of cattle is to be made out of Fl
Paso to Cuba via the G. H, beginning
on the 25th inst, when 5000 twO-year-
old steers viii be assigned to Utgut,
Lay & Co., of New Orleans, by Cox <
Kayser, the cattle buyers OF FL Paso
and Denver
They viii be loaded in the C. H
yards here, and viii be sent directly
to New Orleans where they Will be
loaded on steamers bound for Havana
Some $50 cars. or about 10 trains, Will
be necessary to handle the lot
This marks the practical reopening
Of the Cuban cattle market to this ter
ritOry, and presages the possibility Of
FL PasO as an important shipping point
Cox and Kayser alone have about $1,000
head more to be shipped out, and these
probably also viii be used in the Cuban
trade. On the various ranches of Sr.
Terrazas there are between 225, 600 and
$50, 600 head of cattle, and with this Gu
ban trade once more opened up, the
chances are that FL PasO will be the
gateway through which the Sierra
Madre, the Mexican Central, and via
the Santa Fe and s. P, various other
Mexican roads Will bring in cattle ship
ments to east bound roads.

A Jananese Dinner.
TFrom Harper's Magazine. ]


He who does not like the way the
Japanese cook fish must be hard to
please. They are better fish cooks than
the French. The Japanese waters are
very prolific, and the natives seem to
have learned in cooking to preserve the
inherent favor of the fish, while their
sauces are very simple. And as for
eels, as they are cooked at the kanda-
gawa. a tea house in Toxic, he who has
tasted them has established a standing
in his mind by which to judge other
eels.

were filed again and yet again, and
when we covered our bowls it meant

the Japanese look with indifference at

HILARIOUS RED RED MEN
Entertain Sleepy Santa Fe Passen-

There was little sleep for the pas
sengers on eastbOund train No. Of

at f O'Clock Tuesday morning. Four IN
dams of the POttawatomie tribe board
ed the train at Newton in a hilarious
state of intOxicatiOn-
They passed from car to car, singing
their tribal chants, and dancing the
Kettle and war dances In vain the con-
ductor reasoned with them and tried
to persuade the noble red men to cease
their orgies They paid no heed to his
pIeadings or stormings, but kept up
aIsles, accompanied by gutteraI- music.
Every man on the train took turns
in reasoning, pleading and swearing at
them. but in vain It was a weary lot
OF passengers that came in on No. s and
a general sigh OF satisfaction passed
around when the disturbers left the
train at Topeka to go across the coun-
try to their reservation.

lines the car famine is worse than on
the western roads. The Pennsylvania
system is short over 5000 cars, the Lake

question as to where the road viii be

Traffic on eastern as well as western
and southwestern lines is away above
the average of former years. The COM
panies, as well as shippers. have never
been confronted with such difficulty in
securing cars to move their goods as at
present and the embarrassment grows
1t IS difficult for large manufactures at
some points to secure enough cars to
enable them to deliver their goods. or
get the raw material moved to them
fast enough. At flour centers the flour
mills have been obliged to store their
Hour until their storage capacity is
about filed, and the mills are threaten
ed with the probability OF having to
close for want of room to store their
flour This has seldom. If ever. hap
pened before, but is a problem that the
mllIers are unable to solve. The roads
can not get cars fast enough. and when
they do secure a few they are readily
loaded In the south Iumbermen can
not get stock shipped to northern mar
lSets, and their business is seriously de-
layed, as is also that of northern deal
