Improvement Of Mexican Cattle.

improvement Ol INleAlSd1 Ad'iS' 4,
A large cattle show is to be held
next month at Coyacan. near the
of Mexico, says the Farm, Field
and Stockman. 1t is in partial pur-
suance of a plan laid down several
years ago by President Diaz and
other wealthy owner of haciendas
for the improvement Of Mexican
cattle.
The large cattle raisers, whose
ranches are wholly confined to the
northern half of Mexico, have al
ready learned the lesson which the
president meant to teach. The cat
tie show next month will be held
mainly for the benefit Of the small
farmers further south in the most
populous part Of the country. 1t is
desired to show them that a consid-
cradle proportion of the cattle of
north Mexico is now really fine stock
and that more money may be made
by the small farmers who engage in
dairy farming near the larger towns
where milk and butter sell at high
prices if they will introduce i'm
proved breeds.
We are very well acquainted on
our side of the border with the long
horn cattle of Spanish origin, which
are still the prevailing type on the
Mexican ranches and farms. They
are the same stock that we call
"Texas CATTLE" Great areas Of
our subarid grazing land were
stocked with Texas steers about forty
years ago, when we began to make
the plains a source of national wealth
by rearing millions OF cattle and
sheep on their nutritious grasses.
Texas steers did a good deal in their
day to replenish our larders.
But the reign of the Texas steer
on our western plains is practically
at an end. Better animals, finer
in bone and easier to fatten, have
been introduced in large numbers,
TO the great Improvement Of our
range cattle. The live Texas steer
has almost ceased to be an article of
export, except an occasional cargo
from some of our southern ports,
and then he is usually disguised,
more or less, by a large admixture
of better blood. In fact, most OF
the range cattle are reserved as a
part Of the stock, in trade of the
refrigerating and packing centers OF
the west, while a great part of our
live beef cattle sent to market are
fattened in the corr belt of eastern
states.
The cattle breeders Of Mexico will
be wise If they persist in their inten-
ton to follow the example of our
range states and discard the old.
fashioned Spanish breeds that have
served their time, and should be re
placed by better animals. II the
Mexicans continue to be devotees O.
the cruel sport OF bull-6ghting they
will, of course, have to retain some
of their old stock, for Spanish cattle
running wild in the Mexican hills
apparently yield just as fierce fight
ers for the arena as the carefully
bred bulls reared in the southern
mountains Of Spain. But for al
useful purposes the old Spanish
stock is far surpassed by tn,
improved breeds of today, and i
would be folly for Mexico, with he'
J great advantages for cattle raising
{ to retain inferior animals.

The officers of the local Board of
Trade r justly indignant at the
lack of interest displayed by the
members of the organization. At no
period since reorganization of the
Board have the officers been accorded
the aid and support to which they
are entitled, butthey feel the heighth
OF negligence was reached at the
time set for the annual meeting
when but a ~corporal's guard turned
out to transact business, though
every member was individually mott
fed. This is to be deplored. The
Board has proved IN many ways a
valuable adjunct of business life: the
monthly fair days, held under it's
auspices, We're Of great benefit to the
mercantile community. The success
OF these occasions was due entirely
% the interchangeable enterprise of the
officers and i is no wonder that they
are ready to throw up their positions
in disgust at the want of support
and endorsement. As it is they alb,
solutely decline to serve another
term. If it is felt by the members
that the organization is of no i'm
portance, let il he disbanded but
if it is to be preserved, immedi.
ate action must be taken. Another
meeting will be called and let every
member present himself prepared to
take what action necessary and to
shoulder his share of the response
bility.

The abolition of the fee system in
the Z. S. Marshalls Office by placing
the Deputy Marshals on salary, is a
move in the right direction. No
matter how earnest or upright an
officer may be, a fee compensation is
apt to inclinehim to over zealousness
in the discharge of duty and inmany
cases of arrest, the people, in this
part of the state at least have viewed
them as more in the nature of per
secution than prosecution. Juries
at times have taken the same view
with the result that nothing comes
of the arrests but good sized bills of
costs. With the deputies paid a fair
salary, the interests of the govern
ment will be as fully and carefully
protected as under the old fee meth
cd. Many Of the complaints are en-
tered out Of spite or for the witness
fees accruing and as the officers will

crippled. At any rate, thepernicious
fee system is done away with.

Shortly after eight o'clock last
evening the oil room in the rear of
Elevator Store was discovered on
fire. The discovery was made by E.
c. Warner who resides over the store
and he gave the alarm. The fire
department promptly responded but
the flames had made such Roadway
among the infamable material, that
it was readily realized that nothing
could be done to save the building
and all efforts were directed towards
preventing a spread of the flames
northward. A gasoline tank If the
lot in ear of the store was quickly
removed and the frame building adj
loing the European Hotel was torn
down. After this ii was a fight to
save the European Hotel and by a
gallant struggle the fremen won.
Within a few moments after the
alarm had been given, Mr.. Merger
of the Elevator Store Co., was on
hand and opened the front door, but
the smoke was SO dense that it was
impossible to enter the building.
Willing hands were busy dismant-
hing the City Hotel and carrying the
furniture, etc, to a place of safety.

but endeavor to confine the flames to
