CLIMBING THE HILL.

Gettin' mighty tired
OF climbin' up the hill,
But IL you never reach the top,
T'other feller will!
So, never mind the trouble
But keep a-climbin' still!
Gittin' mighty tired
An eyes with tears'll fill;
But sing song the way along,
Or-t'other feller will!
So, never mind who lags behind,
But keep a-climbin' still.
Gittin' mighty tired
The way is dull an chill,
But roses blossom o'er the thorns
And hearts with rapture thrill;
For on the heights fair shine the
lights
So, keep a-clmbin' still! W

bruised and Jacobs pleaded guilty to
the charge, though he claims Hum.

the punishment upon himself.

Local Wool Market.

Beyond the viewing of clips
contracted here on the part OF
buyers, there is but little doing
in the local wool market. There
are now three buyers here, and
Col. T. III. Henderson, of San
Antonio, is expected to arrive in
few days. From present in
dications, The Press will be able
to report some sales in its next
issue
As to the price named in the
clipping from the Boston Report,
er, as having been paid for the
Kerrville woods, buyers and 9th
ers here do not accept it as cor
rect, believing the consideration
was less than 15c.
The McLymont clip, about
100000 pounds, is reported tc
have sold for ID and 1870.

TEXAS WOODS.
Kerrville's Six Hundred Thousand
Pounds Reported to Have Sold at
I5c, the Highest for Years.

Boston:
The feature of interest in Texas
woods is the abnormally high price
paid for the new fall woods at
Kerrville, Texas, where, last Sat
urday, 100000 pounds were sold
ut 15c. These woods will cost in
the neighborhood Of SOC, clean
landed. 1t is perhaps needless %
say that this is the highest price
paid in Texas for fall woods for
several years past. 1t is practic-
ally the same price as was paid
for eight months spring woods
this year, and between the fall
and the spring wool there should
be a difference of eight cents per
pound (clean basis). The high
prices realized on these new fall
woods in Texas have stimulated a
better demand for spring woods in
this market and liberal sales of
the latter have been at 10000
for the best eight months, cost
ing close to 53c., clean. The
eight months wool bring about
as much as the II months, as
they are just as good for certain
purposes. Sales of choicest II
months stock are reported to
have been made here at 55c.,
clean, and somewhat better.
New York:
The movements of Texas woods
has been confined to a couple OF
fair-sized parcels. Several in
quiries have been received for
spring and fall wool and pun.
Der of sample bags have gone
forth, but this is as far as negot-
iations have PROGRESSED. In
many cases buyer and seller arr
too far apart in their price views
to allow business to be done.
Six to Fights months woods are
held around 4S@50 cents, and

ant foremen and about 125 cow
boys are requisite for the work
upon it.
There nae 300 wells upon the
land, and these, in addition to
prairie lakes, dry in the 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 in depth.
They are unaffected by drouth
and have constant flow of good
pure water. Each we'll, when sup
piled with windmill and reserve
tank, will furnish water for 800
head of stock. In the summer
time, when there is not sufficient
wind sometimes to run the wind
mills, II gasoline engine is used to
run them.
There are only two towns upon
the ranch -Channing and TeXline,
The main headquarters are at
Claiming. There n daily record
of the rainfall, temperature and
snowfall is kept. A telephone
system connects the headquarters
with every division, and stam-
pede or anything that occurs out
of the ordinary routine is known at
headquarters as soon rs it hap
pens. The top wire of the fence
is a telephone wire, insulated ut
the posts. When gate is made
III fence two upright poles are
on either side of it above the
height of load of hay or any
tall object that might pass through
it and the wire is stretched over
these poles and down on the other
side of the fence again. This sys-
tenn of telephones is used on so
many isolated ranches in the
West, connecting them with other
ranches and the nearest towns.
To keep his telephone in working
order a man must keep his fence
in repair.
The soil is a black, fertile loan

seasons and furnish pasturage
both summer and winter. Cattle
from the ranch have taken many
prizes in stock expositio II S
throughout the country. Ship
ments are made in Chicago, New
York and Europe. The herds
have gradually been enlarged and
improved. Upon the small ranch
es 80 to % per cent of the calves
front the stock are branded each
year, but upon the large tracts
not so great percentage IS OBJ
tanned, as it is more difficult to
shelter and protect them. The
only loss is small per cent by
an occasional "norther" in the
winter time. ......
The day of the large ranchman
is passing away. 1t is foundl to
be more profitable to do business
on a smaller scale, in proportion
to the outlay involved. Since the
opening of Oklahoma, the country
is being more thickly settled &,
lands have risen in value, and
many of the large ranches are be-
ing cut up into smaller ones.
The next in size to the Y / T
are two ranches of 100000 acres
each. Though the FarwelI ranch
has been utilized heretofore as
one vast body of land, a portion
of it is to be divided and sold.
The head foreman has charge of
the entire tract, but there are
many divisions of thousands of
acres each in charge of assistant
foreman or employees.
The cowboys keep fences in re-
pair, grease windmills, look after
the cattle-often having to ride
long distances after straying
bunches-assist in the roundups
and brand calves. When at work
on out laying portions of the land
a "chuck' wagon follows them
from place to place with a cook
in charge. 1t contains a COM
plete camping outfit, and the men
take their meals upon the ground
around it. They often sleep for

The Largest Ranch in the World.

Chicago Tribune.
In the Panhandle OF Texas is
located the largest ranch in the
West and also in the world. 1t
is known as the "X. /. t." the
Capitol Syndicate" or "Fare-
well" ranch, and contains over
100000 acres of land. 1t is
own principally by ex-senator
Charles B. Farwell and his broth
or John of Chicago, and was ac-
quired by them about sixteen
years ago. At that time the peo-
pie of Texas needed and desired
a capitol building, but no funds
were obtainable with which to
erect one. There were, however,
immense tracks of unoccupied
land in the State and the legisla-
ture offered this one to anybody
who would construct the necess-
AIRY building. Mr.. Farewell or
gained syndicate in Chicago
and accepted the offer. Now
their fine granite capitol is the
pride of Texas citizens, and thous.
ands of thoroughbred Hereford,
Aberdeen, Angus and Shorthorn
cattle roam over what was former
ly waste land.
The ranch lies in the staked
plains. 1t has an altitude at its
northern extremity of 400 feet
and at the southern end of 28O0.
Its greatest length is 200 miles.
Its average width is about Is
miles. 1t is situated in the ex-
treme northwestern corner of
Texas and covers all or a portion
Of nine different counties. The
state of Connecticut could
not contain it, and it would cover
the States of Rhode Island and
Delaware combined, and then
lap over on adjoining States.
Fifteen hundred miles of wire
fence encloses the 5000 square
miles within it's boundaries

sions of the tract. The services
