Now she owns big cattle ranch and
runs it herself.
Miss Farmer was adopted by rich
ranch owner, who was killed by be-
ing thrown from a bronco. The ranch
was offered for sale, and she bought
it, including 700 head of COWS, with
money given her by her benefactor
during the five years she was with
him.
In the course of the next four years
her herds increased until it was diff
cult for her to find pasturage in Tex
as, and she was forced to send agents
to old Mexico to rent and buy grazing
lands. In order to befriend her for
mer pupils, who were deep in distress,
she bought the famous Broad AK
brand and the ranch.

IRON AND STEEL TRADE,
German Firm Reported to Have Sc
cured an Order From a Cana
dian Railroad.


NEW YORK, May 2.-Discussing the
condition Of the iron and steel trade.
the Iron Age says:
The buying hunger is appeased and
in many directions the tonnage OF new
orders has fallen of considerably. as
II could not otherwise do after SO pro-
longed and heavy a purchasing move
ment. Pittsburg reports further sales
OF basic Gig iron and it is intimated
that the loading interest will soon take
quantities of bessemer pig for the sec
ond half, for which little has been done
SO far. Apparently there is also re-
serve buying power in forge irons.
On the other hand. Cincinnati reports
at least one round transaction in South
ern pig iron on the basis of $11.25 for
No 9, at Birmingham against s11.75
which has recently ruled. Eastern
Pennsylvania. too. displays some irreg-
ularlty in prices of foundry iron.
The steel market is quiet and S24 for
blllets is the basis Of the moderate
business which is going.
The steel rail mills have taken a
heavy tonnage. all the buyers having
been given an opportunity to put in
their orders before the advance. Some
Of the mills have been forced 10 turn
away orders in considerable quantity
because of their inability to roll the
rails in time.
Rumors are afioat that German mill
has taken an order for 1000 tons for a
Canadian road and figuring is now be-
ing done on another 10,0OO-ton lot. 1t
appears, too. that some South American
business may go to Europe
1t is noteworthy that the European
makers seem at last to have become
convinced that our strong position here
is not mere sham but is based on
an enormous consumption. The Ger
mans have stiffened considerably of
late and are naming prices in the Eng
lish market which are turning the bust
ness to the British works.
The report that leading interest has
placed 10000 tons of ship plates in Bel
fast lacks confirmation here. Some
weeks since such a transaction was re-
Ported from England.
Generally speaking. the export trade
is very dull 1t has practically ceased in
pig iron, steel billets and bars and 9TH
er lines. although it does continue with
gratifying persistency in structural ma
terial In the latter the rush Of work
is over for the present but II has left
the shops crowded with work for many
months to come
One Of the gres. yaris on the Deia-
ware is reported to have taken some
important business lately and is now
inquring for the material The Eastern
har manufacturers had another confer
ence last week. While nothing that is
definite has been yet done. the impress
sion seems to prevail that the MAX
ers will ultimately agree upon some
equitable basis.
The sheet trade throughout the coun-
try is still under very heavy pressure
ard does not appear TO be gaining as
yet on the accumulated orders.
