nessee in 1882, but grew to manhood
In Shelby county, Indiana. He obtain
ed a good common school education,
and attended Franklin college. He
taught school, and hen engaged in
business in Alabama, coming to Kan
sas in 1860, and locating at Junction
City. The firm of Streeter & Stricken
purchased a merchandise stock from
William Learner, still living at Le-
compton, and one of the most remark-
able businesses ever conducted in Kan
sas began at Junction City. The firm
did a contracting business covering
the entire plains to the Rocky noun
tains, reaching to every government
post or military camp, and employing
hundreds of the pioneers then scat
tered owe western kansas. The firm
dissolved and retired from business
about 1870. In 1862 Stricken was
elected to the state senate, and he was
a member of the house of representa-
tives in 1871. He was in the early COS
a b~rigadier general of the militia. For
the first three years of its existence,
Stricken and William X. Bartlett
maintained the Junction City Union.
Strickler was a great ~big-hearted fef
low. A. w. Callen was employed to
close IL the business of the firm, and
he told the writer that the books
showed as much as SO 900 a year OF
charity given out and charged to
S%trickler's individual account. He re-
moved to Leadville, Colo, in 1879,
where he remained three years;
thence to Albuquerque, n. M; thence

ange ranch e a AZusa, Cal. Here he

cemetery. He vas a strenuous man
with a strenuous nerve, and did siren
uous things. In the early days Of the
railroad he shipped a lot of queens
ware from Liverpool, England, to Kan
sas City by water. The railroad want
ed more for hauling it from Kansas
City to Junction City than ii cost TO

Ranges Of New Mexico.

spots must be ~reseeded, thin spots cui-
tivated, weeds must be killed, arroyos
n washes must be stopped and the
sediments carried down will fill the
open rocky beds. Subterranean water
must ne developed in order that stock
need not travel sc far from water for
their food. and hence the damage due
to trails be lessened. Most of these
things have been demonstrated to be
financially worth while. The difficult
question to answer is to outline the
method of procedure. which will in
duce men to do all this work.
Under u competitive system there
is but one answer to the problem.
Make it possible for a mar to control
his own range, and he will soon find it
