 The soil Is a black: fertile loam ana

 The day of the large ranchmen is passed away. It is found to be more profitable to do business on smaller scale. in proportion to the outlay in volved. Since the opening of Oklahoma, the country Is being more thickiy settled. Ia nds have risen in value, and many CT the large ranches are being cut up into smaller ones. The next in size to the x. I. T. are two ranches of a million acres each. Though the Farwell ranch has been utilized heretofore as one vast b1dy of land, portion of 1t IS to he divided and sold. The head foreman has charge of the entire tract but there dis many divisions of thousal ds of acres each in charge of assistant foremen or employees.
 The cowboys keep fences in repair. grease windmills, look after the cattle often having to ride long distances after straying bunches-assst In the round-ups and brand calves. When at work on out laying portions of the land a chuck" wagon follows them from place to placs. with cook in charge. It contains com plete camping outfit, and the men take their meals upon the ground around 1t. They often sleep for weeks in the opah air upon the ground, living constantly in the sadle during the days. Bacon. coffee and Mexican beans are the stapls articles of a cowboys diet, varied some times by biscuits and canned food. They become expert ropers. riders and judges of cattle. Sometimes one is promoted to a position as foranan or leaves to be- come the owner of small ranch. Their average wages are s25 month and board. with much higher salaries for the fore men. The head foreman upon the x. I. T. receives a salary of $500 year. with house rent free and provisions and medical attendance provided
 The company has numerous storehouses at convenient points, and freight wagons to haul supplies from the railroads.

THE WORLDS LARGEST RANCH
It is in Texas and Comprises More
 Than $500, 900 Acres.

Chicago Tribune. ;,
 In the Panhandle of Texas ls !ocateo the largest ranch in the West, and also in the world. It is known as the X: l. T." the Capitol Syndicate" or F o5s aro aro welp' ranch, and contains over 5000 OOo acres of land It is owned principally by ex-Senator Charles B. Farwell and his brother, John of Chicago, and was ac- uuired by them about sixteen years ago At that time the people of Texas needed and desired a capitol building, but no funds were obtainable with which to erect one There were, however, m mense tracts of unoccupied land Tn the State and the Legislature offered ts thls one one essary building. MT. Farwen organized a syndicate in Chicago and accepted the offer. Now their fine granite capitol IS the pride of Texas citizens. ana th1as- deen, Angus and Shorthorn cattle roam over what was formerly waste land.
 The ranch lies in the staked plains. It has an altitude at its northern extremity of 4,7O0 feet and at the southern end Of 2,3OO. It's greatest length is 200 miles. It's average width is about twenty-five miles It Is situated in the extreme northwest ern corner of Texas and covers all or q portion of nine different counties. The State of Connecticut could not contain it, and 1t would cover the States of Rhode Island and Delaware combined ana then lap over on adjoining States. Flf- teen nunuTeu OI " IO closes the 5000 square miles within its boundaries and separate the different di- visions of the tract The services or head foreman, seven assistant foremen' and 125 cowboys are requisite for the work upon it.
 There are 300 wells upon the land. and these. in addition to prairie lakes, dry Tn rainless seasons, running streams and reservoirs built to conserve the surface water. afford drinking water for the stock The wells are from 100 to 400 feet i0 depth The are Ina iactad by drought and have l >onst4at 2 HNs af nare water E 3c.- Wt.4. g hears ppltel ".fl q El'lHF.i!.t a.c r.s- -vt tlrE. vt.! furnish 0a-er f. 50 ta .Hi Geao 1s stock.

 There are only two towns upon the ranch-Channing and Texline. The main headquarters are at Charming. There d daily record of the rainfall, temperature and snowfall is kept A telephone sys- tenn connects the headquarters with ev- cry division, and a stampede or anything that occurs out of the ordinary routine is known at headquartersas soon as 1t happens The top wire of the fence is a telephone wire, insulated at the posts. When a gate is made in fence two upright poles are placed on either side of it above the height of load of hay or any tall object that might pass through 1t and the wire Is stretched over these poles and down on the other side of the fence agan. This system of tel ephoning is used on many isolated ranch es in the West. connecting them with other ranches and the nearest towns. To

RICHHRDS

Mrs E. E. Richards. 24s W. 10th St., N. Y. City, writes:
 'sIt is certainly a pleasure to rec ommend so reliable a medicine as Peruna. Last year my health was broken down, and it took all my cour- age and nerve force to drag around.
 "My husband bought a bottle of peruna for me to try; and bless the day he did so, for my recovery started from the first dose and before . month had passed felt like diff ferent woman as I was well and strong Mrs. E. F. Richards.
 Peruna seems so admirably adapted tc catarrhal troubles of women that i rarely fails to instantly relieve anC promptly cure.
 No sooner does a woman begin to take Peruna than she feels that a cure is 1T sight.
 Sometimes it Is necessary to take il for weeks and even months, but the good effect becomes apparent at once and gradually continues until cure i: perfected.

Mrs. Mary Miller. IT Old Shield Block, Indianapolis. Ind. writes:
 "Peruna is 8 splendid medicine. I was troubled for five years with fre- quent headaches, dizziness and shoot ing pains. I grew thin and pale. The doctors tried in vain to benefit me, but nothing seemed to do me any good unil I tried Peruna. Eleven bottles made me well woman once more. I am now enjoying perfect health, my appetite is good, my head clear and I am entirely without pain, thanks to Peruna. Mrs, Mary Mil Ter.
 Peruna Effects Marvellous Cures In
 Female Diseases. If all the praise that is given Peruna by the women could be gathered into one chorus. what a volume of thanks giving it would make. Never was a remedy so sincerely praised by so many thousand before, in all the history of medicine.

Since the Morning Tribune printed the
first news Of the Heppner coal fields and
also the first bad news. this communica.
ton may be OF interest t. its readers.
George Conser brought the information
here from tile mines that the tunnel on
No. 3 reached the main vein of coal
Wednesday and that the miners are now
at work grooming out" The vein is I

1t has no ash and leaves no waste, has
great steam making power and is pro.
nounced good for welding or smelling.
Work is again resumed on tunnel No.

Only two Of the mines are being worked.
This is according to the advice of the
u. II. 4 \. expert, Mr.. Welles, who
told the proprietors that II large veins
were found on two. the value of the fields
would be assured. He estimates that
the fields will coveran area Of 7xl2 miles.
On No. 3 the tunnel followed the cap
rock first on an upward incline, then on
level, then slight dip, then heavy
dip. At this point water gave trouble.

this difficulty overcome. From the
west dip the caplo rock began to rise
and when II reached the level of the en-
trance the main vein was found. Traces
of coal were found all the way in but not
until the 7-foot solid vein was discovered
was the coal found to be good.
Samples of the coal were sent to PEN

McComas' drug store. II has been
examined by numerous persons familiar
with the coal fields of the east. who
pronounce it all that has been claimed.
