CATTLE And SHEEP MEN At War.

But in 1871 a herder took 2 600 sheep
to Montana, which have increased
since then to something like 1000, o00-
The sheep then took up claims along
the water courses, leaving to the cow
men the dry land away from the
streams, which they had fenced on
from the cattle.
The loss of the enormous free ranges
is gradually turning the cattle men
into farmers, who feed their cattle in
sheds in the winter-in the north with
corn, in the south with cotton seed
and in making mere farm hands out OF
the once free and independent cow
boys.
The vast roaming herds of cattle are
gone from the western plains forever,
and cattle raising has become the pro-
sale business of turning grass and corn
free range remains there may be found
into meat However, wherever any
free range remains there may be found
the last expiring evidences of the
former glory Of the Cow business

required are not expensive, and with
a little industry and some organiza-

accrue to those engaging in them. In
the country districts the question of

impossible to overcome 1t is very

SAYS IT is ALL NONSENSE.
Executive Railroad Officers Meet
to Obey the Law.
NO GIGANTIC r. r. COMBINE.

Denver, COL Jan president E
T. Jeffrey, of the Denver & Rio Grande
road, who is chairman of the executive
officers association meeting four times
each year in New York, says there is
not a particle of truth in the reported
gigantic railway combine which is to
control all the great lines In an in
terviev he said:
Nobody in his sane mind ever
thought of attempting to combine all
the railways into a great organization
to control the conmepce of the country
The meetings in New York have no
such purpose and if railway managers
can be broughs to point where they
will simply obey the interstate com
mercs law the main object of the
meetings in New York viii be accom-
plished- If the lines viii quit rate
cutting and simply obey the plain let
ter of the law, that is all would ask
and it is quite enough for one organi-
zation to accomplish 1 have always
been a sticl1ler for obedience to the
law Let the railway managers carry
out the plain provisions of the inter
state commerce act;- let them treat all
shippers alike and make changes in
rates only after giving public notice as
required by law. If this is done there
will be no need of com binations to try
to control the traffic y
What would become of the weak
lines if the law were obeyed? . he was
asked
They would go out of existence, -
was the reply. THAT is the natural
law and see reason why the weak
railways should be forever upheld by
those that are able to, take care of
themselves Let the weak lines bs alb
sorbed by their more vigorous com
petitors or let them go out of existence
altogether. In either event the public

The whole house was thrown open and the rooms devoted to dancing. A beau tiful array of gifts was much admired. A supper was served at Il o'clock, at the conclusion of which the toastmaster, Judge Gaston, arose and, making a few appropriate remarks. called on the Rev. G. R. Upton. He responded in a brief speech. and was followed by Capt. Ed ward Crenshaw. Maj. T. W. Peagier and others. The last called on was Louis Steinhart. only son of the host.

WEST POINT TIES PRINCETON.
Ten Thousand People Witness Fierce
 and Exciting Game.

West Point, November 9.--The football game here today between the West Point military academy and Princeton teams re- suited in tie score of to 6, and the points were all made in the first half of the game. There were 10000 persons In attendance and they witnessed one of the fiercest and most exciting contests ever played od West Point field. Interest did not abate for a single instant through out the game. Today's achievement per haps places West Point among the lead ing football teams of the country. The big colleges have had hard time with the soldiers on the gridiron and the out come of the game with Annapolis will be looked forward to with great interest.
 At the start of the game today Prince ton kicked off. Phipps promptly caught the ball and rushed 1t back 25 yards. On the next play West Point rushed through Princeton for 20 yards more but then lost the ball for holding. Princeton opened up her attack in splendid shape and showed wonderful aggressive ability The ball was retained in West Points terrfto- ry for just ten minutes when Pearson was carried over the soldiers line for a touchdown, Dewitt kicked an easy goal.
 In the next formation West Point brac- ed up somewhat and the playing was done almost wholly in Princeton's terri tory. Daily and Farnsworth fairly walk ed away with Dewitt. nearly all the plays being made through him. The ball was gradually forced towards Princetons goal line until Phipps was pushed over for a touchdown Daily kicked goal and the score was tied. Five minute es later time was called.
 In the second half the ball was several times near West Points goal line but the sturdy cadets succeeded in forcing it back.

PENNSYLVANIA MEETS
 CRUSHING DEFEAT

Philadelphia, November 9.-Harvard this afternoon on Franklin field admins tered to the University of Pennsylvania one of the most severe defeats the latter has experienced since she has been in the front rank of the football world. The final score was: Harvard, 8; Pennsyl- vania, G. Harvard scored 22 points In the first and Il in the second half, while Pennsylvania scored points In the nrst half. This single touch down was gift of Marshall, Harvard's quarter back. Revnolds kicked the ball to Harvard's s 2o-vard line where Marshall fumbled It. Mitchell gathered it and ran about tWen- ty yards for a touch down.
 PennsyIvania's efforts to advance the hall were really distressing No better proof of this Is needed than the 1act that during the first half the red ana blue only gained four first downs Wnile Harvard gained twenty-seven.
 The rudimentary principles of football were conspicuous by their absence rom Pennsylvania's play. only once uurhs the entire seventy minutes did the Phila- delnhia eleven play anything like real football and this was in the first five min utes of the game. During this period the ball was continually in Harvards terrl- tory but this was due not so much 10 Pennsylvania's strength as 10 Haro'arus execrable fumbling. The visitors were yisibly affected with rattles during the first few minutes. of play but when they struck their gait 1t was only question of the proportions of the score.
 Never has so much feeling been shown in game between these big universities as was manifest this afternoon There were numerous slugging matches and near the close of the game Umpire Dash- iel ordered Jordan out of the contest.
 Where the greatest difference in the play of the two teams was noticeable in tackling Harvards men went low and tackled fiercely. while the Pennsylvania players would grab at the crimson mems headgear or tackle them around the neck.
 Pennsylvania's team was much lighter than Harvards, but even this cannot be taken as an excuse for the miserable tackling. Poor judgment was also mani fest in the running of the Pennsylvania team.
 The new play which Coach Woodruff
The age-herald., 1901-11-10

had evolved will not revolutionize foot ball. as claimed by the inventor It was tried only twice during the entire game and both times failed utterly
 The secret of the play Is for the quar- terback to pass the ball to the half back who just as he reaches the line turns and strikes the opposing forwards with his back. At this juncture the other half back comes along. and. taking the ball, dives into the line in the same manner By the time this second half back got Into the line today he was pinned down beneath about thousand pounds of
 brawn and muscle.
 Tn only one department of the game did bunting. Reynolds clearly outkicked Putnam, who was doing the kicking for Harvard.

His salary is one hundred thousand dollars a year in Amer lean money. with long list of perqui- sites. Some one with an Investigating turn of mind has just discovered that during the past twelve months he has been only half that period at his post, the other one hundred and eighty days having been spent on his English estates or at Continental watering places. Dur ing his absence, the duties devolving upon him are performed by the Lord Jus tices'' of Ireland, who do not get a penny of compensation for their extra labors This noble earl Is only one of many Tory sinecurists who are not ashamed to draw fat salaries for little or no ser vice. The members of the cabinet, for example. have not held more than one or two meetings in several months, but their compensation goes on all the same. Understrappers run the government.
