MUCH NOW.

Another reason of great importance
for such a law is that the ranges are now
open battle-felds between sheep and
cattlemen, and also between sheepmen
themselves. In these battles last year
the homicides were numerous. They
have been many this year, three in
one fight a short time ago. One here
can have no idea of the intensity of this
feeling on the ranges Of Wyoming, Colo
RADIO, Utah, New Mexico and other states.
In many localities small cattlemen see
their homes and ranches Of 20 years
standing invaded by the vast bands Of
migratory sheep. and they have organ
lied and established dead lines, and are
guarding them today with rifles; but the
sheepmen come to the edge, hesitate
perhaps 4 time, and then say: We have
the legal right to cross; our sheep have
eaten it clean behind us, and we must
cross. And they do. Then comes
bloodshep. homicide and the law openly
violated. Each side. shoots as well as
the other. IT is obvious this cannot 90
on in a civilized country, and nothing
can stop it but a ease-hold law.
"But the controlling reason for the
passage Of this law is that the range,
with its capacity to furnish meat food
for the country, is being rapidly des-
troyed., This destruction has advanced
during the past two years with lightning
rapidity. Already there are large dis
tricts in Nevada, Utah and Wyoming
where. the destruction is an accomplished
fact, and nothing grazes where large
flocks of sheep and bands Of cattle once
iattened.. The immense increase Of the
migratory sheep in the past few years
has brought the question to a focus.
The effect Of destroying the feed on the
arid ranges, including as il does all the
willows and small brush on the little
mountain streams, is not only to ruin.
them, but the meadows in the valleys be-
low, which are practically all in private
ownership. The snow ceases to lie in
the brush and comes down gradually,
feeding the meadows until haying, but
comes all at ono in the early spring and
thensthe meadow dries and wastes. The.
water. in times Of food rains, instead Of
passing over the sod that the natural
grasses made on the hills, without re-
moving the soil, finding the sod gone,
tears up the earth and sends il down on
to the; arabic lane below, covering ii with
deepdeposits Of sand and destroying It's
value. The same causes.have destroyed
immense areas Of valuable lands at tie
foot Of the Caucasus and the Pyrennes.,
a sudden freshet in February last In
Southern Harvey county in Nevada
brought down fromsthe hills immense
quantities of silt, and buried roads and
tmeadows in many places more than 4
foot deep, andsto a degree never known
before by the oldest inhabitants. For
the destruction Of the ranges with all its
future consequences, no human being
can suggest any practical remedy, Ell
cept its lease-hold control. and that
forces the passage Of suchsa law in con-
gress.

Among the days observed by

80, 900 men, headed by King James.
Londonderry Is a sea port town in
the north Of ireland, situated on the

large city, but in the year 1888, Its

NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-R G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
1t is most fortunate that the vagarics
Of speculation are not always delcteri-
GUS to legitimate business. Railway
stocks fell sharply, yet full returns for
November show that earnings were
l1.5 per cent greater than in the same
month last year and ISL per cent over
those Of 1899. Industrial and traction
shares were even more violently dis
turbed, yet the manufacturing plants
of the nation were never more fully oc-
cupied Numerous labor controversies
have been settled, and the rate of
wages is at the highest point ever at
tained. Retail distribution is of mas
sive proportions, with dealings in holi-
day goods the conspicuous feature.
Conditions in tie, leading industry
are still more strikingly promising. De-
spite the full engagement of most steel
mills well into next year, the week has
brought a large amount Of new buS-
ness, particularly in railway equip
ment. Stability Of prices continues the
best feature, imitation being wisely pre-
vented by controlling interests.
Raw material In the textile industries
has developed distinct firmness. Cot

gain that followed the government re-
port but made a further advance, and

Dear Old Kris 8:

Dear Old KrIss;
l am a little girl and my
name is Wilmington, l have been far
ly good all year and would like to
have a great big Christmas tree. But
do not'let me have one like my big
sister, Philadelphia, where the leaves
Of policy and the vine Of gambling
hide the toys,
The last time you were Dolan out

came en- masse, but the ornaments
did not shine long. They seemed

the Black thing would not take to

ed advisable In certain quarters to

fused to take their BQ)arney. That
some obnoxious Black gathered lots
Of evidence eggs but they were never
Matched.
This caused a Pyle Of trouble with
Clark's son but finally sweet William
was relegated on account Of insurance
and then some Jones morocco was Sc

Hard things were said and a capias
was secured to Levy the first time
the bright little bird from the Hotel
Walton would come to Delaware.
There Is Hart and Reinhardt so you
see there are deer in Wilmington.
Protection came in letters that
we're marked personal and no Schell
game was allowed for you see they
could not a Ford to doso. There
we're several bets but the gang could
not get Evans although they tried to
appear in their best bib and Tucker.
That boy Jim Is as straight as a
String and would fghtthe gang with
Others like Lyons.
Dear Old Kriss, the newspapers
said had a grand tree last year but
that bad boys came around and
Churchman could not make things 60
on the RatIedge and then conferences
were held and one Of the Walls fell
on an affidavit that II now In the
proper hands that the fellow who
had to pay 50, 700 and could be made
pay S., 500 had offered and paid over
money not to have an arrest made.
Now, dear Old kriss, if that be so
why did the little man send home his
wife S relative by the Chadwick line
after Thornton spent his vacation
and Jimmy began playing tBall with
the capias for the boss, who one night
