RANGE LEASING SCHEME.


Have Given 1t n Death BLOW.
The range papers all over the North
west have taken up the war against the
leasing proposition which was sug-
gested by the National Stockmen's as
ISOLATION, and if late reports from
Washington are an indication Of the
outcome the bill will never be heard
Of again The small cattlemen all look
upon il as blow at their very exist
enee, and are ready to do battle TO the
finish agair st the large holders who de-
sire it. When the whole matter is
sifted to the bottom il is probably a
struggle for existence with the large
men, as well rs the smallest ones.
Without the leasing scheme the large
herds will have to be broken up and the
country over which they range will be-
come taken up by numerous men wi
small herds, aud il is not hard TO fore
see the end Of the big cattle herds with
the present system Of disposing of gov
eminent lands
Applications have been made the

A Yukon mail-carrier writes to the
general superintendent at San Francis
co, telling how he has had to sacrifice
CELEBRITY" one of the requirements Of
the star" postal service, to safety"
In some recent experiences. On his
arrival from the trip up Forty Mile
river. he found the Yukon jammed
with huge cakes OF ice, which it was
unsafe to cross because OF the great
holes through which a man or mail
pouch might easily fall Whenever
any mail has gone to the bottom in an
ice-jam, he says, every man therea-
bouts feels certain that at least dozen
of his letters were in that particular
pouch. So this carrier waited favor
able opportunity. which came on Nov.
6, when his party started forth at day
light. They made ten miles before sun
down, having two sleds loaded with
300 pounds each drawn by dogs. The
ice was piled so high in some places
that they had to chop passage
through 1t rather than attempt to go
over. These are some of the Difficult
ties that Uncle Sans servants In the

with the Republican leaders, principal
among whom were John w. Yerkes Of

The American workman is declared
to be more alert in action and quicker
in perception than his foreign COM
petitor. The writer asserts, as "a
well-known fact" that in a given
amount OF work to be accomplished in
given time, by an equal number of
foreign and American workmen, with
equal appliances and facilities, the
American will excel his foreign rival
in the proportion of almost two to
one. Qualities so essential in the
struggle for mercantile supremacy
should not be overlooked, he thinks,
in estimating the causes which are
contributory to this result

Col. Count Georges de villebois
Mareuil is the brains Of the Boer army.
He recently received the thanks of the
Transvaal government, in it's official
paper, for the victory at Colenso. The
count, who is Gen. Joubert's chief of
staff, served in the French army,
through the Franco-P russian war, ris-
ing to the command of a regiment in
the foreign legion, and was afterward
with the French forces in Tunis, Ton
quin and the western Sudan. Two
years ago he threw, up his commission
because he was not promoted to the
rank of general. From. DR.. Leyds he
procured the rang of lieutenant general
in the Boer army. He had said that
the Boer country Offered every ad-
vantage for campaign of surprises
and war Of ambuscades."
