CATTLE TRUST IMPOSSIBLE
Too Many Small Holders Are Engaged

A press dispatch from Cleveland, O., states that George B. Loving. Of Fart Worth Texas. has succeeded in inter- esting John D. Rockefeller, the Stan dard oil magnate. in his scheme to buy up a great area of land and many thousands of cattle in Texas. Not a stockman in the country nor an intel hgent individual can see any trust in this business combination. if it is ever consummated. It will take man richer than Mir. Rockefeller to control an industry that represents $400, ,000, ,00) in valuation; these ale the figures rep resented by the combined associations that are members of the National Live Stock association. Every stockman knows that it is impossible for a cor poration to control an industry such as the growing of live sock. and in such a way as to force up the prizes. There are too many thousands of sml holders, with punches ranging in num-
 Der from 100 to 5000 scattered all over this great Western empire. These hold CTS are a class of men satisfied with a reasonable profit, who practice the doc Urine of live and let live, and would never let themselves to a propositio that means a squeeze of the peop'e.
