States are becoming more and more
restricted each year, there are in the
South American countries named vast
regions suitable for cattle raising
which have not as yet been utilized.
In Texas now the cattle no longer
roam over vast ranges, but are practl-
cally kept in pastures, the grazing
grounds being inclosed in miles upon
miles of wire fences. The old-time
cowboy, too. has become largely a
fence rider patrolling the outside Of
the Enclosures to see that the fences
are not broken down, and that the cat
lie are not lost, strayed or stolen. Many
cowboys have emigrated to South
America, where they have taken up
their old free life alongside Of the ma

pas.
In Paraguay a large region called
the Chaco has just been opened up to
stock raising. 1t lies in the north
west corner of Paraguay, between the
Paraguay River, a navigable stream,
the Pilcomayo River and the Bolivian
boundary. The climate Is healthful,
and though it is warm there in sum-
ner, it is never as hot as it was in New
York last summer.
The prairies are clothed with O va
riety of good grasses ,and the Chaco
lands are acknowledged to be the best
fattening grounds in all Paraguay.
Good Land can be bought in the Chaco
for $1,000 league. and one league will
support 100 cattle, and two herds Of
1000 each can be fattened on it in
year. All the expenses Of raising cat
tie there are ridiculously small CON-
pared with the expense In the United
States. A man can put steers on the
range in Paraguay, all expenses paid,
at cost of $3.50 head, and these he
can sell when fattened for $3.50 q
mead. Experienced cattle men in the
Chaco have cleared as much as $4,000
the first year on an expenditure of
S10,5O0. They put in $1,000 for land,
$500 for cattle and $1,000 for labor
and other expenses. Living and Ia
Dor in Paraguay cost about one-eighth
as much as they do in the United
States. The gauchos are paid So a
month in the Chaco. In the United
States the cowboys wages used to be

ELKs WIN Low RATE.
Missouri Pacific Makes one.Fare
Round Trip Price.

Elks have won one road for cheap
rates for their annual convention in
Salt Lake next August, the Missouri
Pacific announcing a rate of one fare
for the round trip from all points on
its system.
This is big gain for the Elks in
their fight, and 1t is believed that it
will mean that other roads will be
compelled to follow the Missouri Pac-
ific, which assures the order a big at
tendance.
The ElTs at Milwaukee selected
Salt Lake as the place Of holding the
annual grand lodge meeting August

Springs joining Salt Lake in the fight
for the latter town.
Immediately there begun crusade
against cheap rates for the meeting.
It was fight similar to that waged
on Denver and the G.. A. r. encam2-
ment. and It threatended to take the
meeting from Salt Lake as the fight
took the G.. A. r. encampment from
Denver.
The announcement by General Pas
senger Agent Townsend Of a rate Of
one fare for the round trip was a
boombshell In the opposition camp,

passenger men. with the powerful

It is certain that other roads must fol
low. The only territory barred from
the rate by the Missouri Pacific is in
Kansas east Of line fro, Paola
through Pleasanton, Fort Scott and
Cherokee.
The ElRs. particularly west Of the
Missouri river, have been making
great preparations for the Salt Lake
meeting. although the date is nearly a
year hence. but they have been handi-
capped for fear the railroads would
not grant cheap rates.
