LARGEST CATTLE FEEDER
IN THE WORLD IS HERE.
He Has a Large Ranch in Missouri
and Feeds Over Twenty Thousand
Head of Stock on Corn the Year
Round

! J. S. Bilby, of Quitman, Mo-, is at
the Orndorff. Mr.. Quitman is probably
the largest cattle feeder in the Uni
northwest part of the state of Missouri,
he has a ranch of 1000 acres and up
on this he feeds cattle which he buys
for the purpose. He says that probably
his neighbor, D. --ankin, mas about the
same number of acres as he has and
leeds about as many cattle. He has
been up at Tucson purchasing some
cattle to take to a ranch near Colorado
City to feed.
When asked if he was here in con-
nection with the carnival stock exhibit.
nir. Bilby said, mo, had not heard
of that, but 1 know Mr. Cox, who is
to have some fine cattle here during
the carnival. l met him in Missouri
and he seems to be a fine young man
and good business man. 1 am here on
business but not to put cattle on ex-
hibition. Thougu L feed a good grade
of cattle, 1 do not deal in such cattle
as would be interesting in an exhibit
1 have purchased the Circle o ranch
near Colorado City and have been up
in Arizona buying some cattle to put
on the ranch for feeding this winter.
1 will have about thousand head from
Arizona and expect some of them
through here in four or five days.
You have fine town here and a
good business town. From all indica-
lions Ell Paso has twice the population
that l understand the census taker
counted this year. Those men sitting
out there in the park in the sun at
Christmas time-that is something out
of the ordinary for me. You have a
delightful climate here. I haven't seen
cloudy day since 1 have been in the
southwest

country, and go to the ranches of the
Hearst estate in New Mexico and Ari-

How Foot Ball is Played.
Writ, n for The Herald.

tains of the two opposing teams toss
up for the choice of the goal or kickoff
The ball is placed in the center of
the field or on the fifty-five yard line.
The team receiving the ball is placed
on the offensive and tries to rush the
bail to it's opponents goal for a touch
down.
The team or eleven having the ball
must gain five yards in four rushes to
retain the ball, but if they fail to do
TINS the ball goes to the opposing elev-
en- as their first rush or down.
This is kept up until one side places
the ball behind their opponents goal,
which is called a touchdown and
a trial is made to kick the ball over
the goal posts which are placed at each
end of the gridiron. If the ball goes
over the cross bar connecting the two
IT fails it counts nothing and is taken
to the center of the field again for an
other kickoff.
This is continued throughout the en-
tire game and ...e team scoring the
most points wins the game.
The object of the game is for each
-eam to advance the bal. whenever 1T
S in their possession towards the goal
Of their opponents, and to keep the
other side from advancing it when in
their possession.
The man running with the ball may
be tackled by an oppent and held. Eth
er side may kick the ball at any time
towards their opponents goal, and
should the ball be kicked over the goal
tar from the field by what is known
as 'drop-kick' it scores five points
the same as a touch down.
A drop-kick is when a player mo-
mentarily holds the ball and then drops
it TO the ground and kicks it just as
it touches the ground. punt is when
the ball is kicked before it touches the
ground and can never count as a score.
The officials
There are six officials for a foot ball
game: The referee, who judges the
plays, and positions of the players;
the umpire. whose duty it is to watch
the ball at all times and to count the
downs and distances gained or lost,
and who has complete jurisdiction
over the ball; the two line-men, who
record the distances gained and to be
gained: and the two time keepers,
whose duty it is to keep the time of
the game.

They Are Disappointed Because the
Men Did Not Stick Together, But
They Also Blame the mead Officials
of the Order.

Telegraph operators generally be-
Iieve that there was some dirty work
in the management of the operators
strike on the Santa re. They contend
that the strike was declared with little
notice and was pulled off and lost
without their knowledge.
E. H. Washburn and G. A. Sowles,
who went out with the strike, were
here yesterday and said they did not
know exactly what the trouble was
but something was wrong with the
management of the whole affair.
They state that the chief dispatchers
on the road got so many of the men to
go back to work by telling them that
the strike was of and that most Of the
men had returned to work. They
think that the trainmen disappointed
President Dolphin and he saw no
chance to win after the Chicago meet
ing. They think he had assurance
was ordered and they were bought of
at Chicago before the operators
committee got there.
with it all. however" said Mr..
Washburn, I'VE have lost the strike
md have nothing to do now but hunt
new positions. The strike was badly
managed and Dolphin is subject to
censure for. he could have managed it
some way to protect US against black
list. AS it is we are black listed on
the Santa Fe and several other big
systems and may not be able to get
work any where in the west"
Mexican Central Boycott.
The Mexican Central road has boy
cotted the Santa Fee strikers and none
of them will be given work on that
system. George Perkins. superinten-
dent of telegraph on that system, is
now in Ell Paso and many Of the Santa
Fe men have applied to him for work.
He has refused them all and said that
he had instructions not to employ any
man who went out on the order of
Dolphin.
Joe Oberhalser, who was operator
for the Santa Fe in Ell Paso before the
strike, recently took a position with
the Mexican Central in Juarez. He
was notified Saturday that he was not
needed any longer. and is again with
out work.
So far as is known no other road
has refused to employ the strikers
but several are expected to post bull
letins to that effect soon. Those who
are left out of the Santa Fee state that
the operators did not stick together or
they would have won They contend
that nearly all of them went out but
when the dispatchers sent out a mes
sage that the men were going back
to work many of the operators in the
west returned to work without inevs-
tigating further.

made changes.
Today foot ball as played by the uni
yersities and colleges All over the Uni
ed States is the most scientific game
If all out door sports. Like all other
ports it has it's dangers, but taken as
l whole it is purely manly sport. The

mention of Mr.. Bryan's name came
near the end OF Chairman Tellers
