Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1900-06-06

The Nebraska representative, at a re-
cent convention Of railroad commissions
ers, suggested a simple solution of the
vexed freight rate problem. His sugges-
ton is this: Find what it costs Oh the
average to ship a car of freight, and
make that the uniform rate, on the
postage plan. Buy a stamp and stick it
on the car" This would mean y uni
form rate regardless Of distance; the
Nebraska farmers corn and hogs car
ried across the continent for a postage
stamp. This suggestion will certainly
appeal to Populists and Socialists. but
as it implies public ownership OF rail-
roads and the adoption of the zone sys-
tenn established in Austria and other
European countries, it will find very lit
tie support from anybody else.

BUYING UP SHEEP.
The American Valley Company Stocking
Its Ranges In This Territory.

&C. H. Elmendorf, a prominent citi-
zen of Lincoln, Neb., has been here sew
eral days." says the San Angelo (Tex.)
Standard, looking after sheep, and
will buy as many as 80, 900 head of stock
sheep if he can find what he wants. Mr..
ElmendOrf is associated with the Amer
lean Valley company, extensive oper-
ators in cattle and sheep. The company
is composed of Mr.. Elmendorf and T. b.
Catron, a noted politician and business
man Of New Mexico. They control some
5000, 900 acres of land in New Mexico.
Recently the company has gone out of
the cattle business to a great extent,
and is devoting attention to sheep, and
is operating extensively in the latter
industry. AS a matter of personal in
terest it may be mentioned that Mr.. Ell
mendorf resides in the same block in
which William J. Bryan lives in Ne
braska. Mr.. Elmendorf is Intimately
acquainted with Mr.. Bryan, and though
he differs from the great free silver ad-
vocate politically, yet he esteems him
highly as a gentleman of very pleasant
social qualities, and says Mrs. Bryan is
a lady of very attractive character. Mr..
Elmendorf and Mr.. Bryan are not only
neighbors in Lincoln, but they attend
the same Presbyterian church, Mr..
Bryan being active in church work. The
Bryans are a very transformations and
unassuming family, and their domestic
relations are very happy.
"Mr. Elmendorf left Tuesday morn
ing for Santa Fe, N. NJ, the headquar-
ters of his company. While in this part
Of the state he secured options on IL, 900
head of sheep, which he will probably
purchase on his return here in a short
time. The company has not been fully
organized yet, but when the organiza-
ton has been effected it will carry on
operations in New Mexico on an extern
sive scale. Its range in western New
Mexico Is 100xs0 miles in extent, and is
capable of running $4,000 to 100, 900 head
of sheep. Mr.. Elmendorf, the day Of
his arrival here, went u to the B. j,
Williams ranch, twelve miles from San
Angelo, where he purchased Mr.. Will
liams' flock of thoroughbred American
Merino sheep, 1900 head, everything,
including lambs, at private terms. This
flock Of sheep are registered and enti-
tied to registration, and their ancestors
were the old John D. Patterson flock, of
California, being imported to Tom
Green county, Tex, by Patterson &
Williams, in 1882. 1t Is one of the oldest
and best known in the United States.
Mr.. Williams was almost compelled to
sell or account of needle grass on the
range. He Is well pleased with the
trade, and says that MI. Elmendorf,
with his herd, has the best thing in the
United States.'

The Oreuon Election.

The election returns from Oregon
must have sem cold chills down the
back of Democratic politicians. The
combined forces of Democrats, silver
Republicans and Populists were unable
to defeat the Republican candidates for
state officers and for congress. Oregon
was n of the states that the Demo-
Gratis had counted upon. and they be-
lieved hat the rest of the Pacific coast
would follow the example of that state,
which it nc doubt will. The Oregon
a that the Democrats will
not only be defeated overwhelmingly,
as far as the national ticket is con
cerned, but that they will be unable to
gain a majority in the house, and that
the senate will remain Republican an
other six years.
