The people of Riverside county re- gently voted $150,00O in bonds to erect a court house. The Board of Super visors issued a card to the people, pledging themselves not to spend more than that amount on the Court House in any event if the bonds were voted. And now the people are asking the Board to put better ma terial in the structure at an additional cost of $25,OOO and they don't seem able to comply with the request.

WRITTEN FOR H SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
On American woman has started on

London as the starting point, is now jour-
neying through Europe. When the schedule

husband on a 2,000-niie tour through Er-
rope. Both MIR. and Mrs. Glidden have for
years been enthusiastic on the subject of
automobiles, and since the former resigned
as president of the Erie telephone system.
more than a year ago, he has devoted n
considerable part of his time to the ma
chine. both in this country and abroad.
Mr.. Glidden holds the long-distance record
In more respects than one, for when he was
president of the largest telephone system
In the world he made the record for long
distance conversation. While in Boston.
he talked over the wire with friends in Lit
tie Rock, Ark, 4 matter of more than 1000
miles as the crow flies.
In fact, the Gliddens may be called per-

Special Correspondence Of The Sunday Republic.
Columbia. Mo. Aug. Tho finest fat cat
tie in the West this year belong to Turner
hicBaine OF Columbia. At least that is the
judgment Of the officials of the Missouri
State Board of Agriculture and their Judg-
ment is borne cut by the records of Mr..
Mechanics sales on the St. Louis market.
He has long had the reputation OF being the
cattle king of Missouri. He does not devote
his time entirely to cattle raising. however.
He has large real estate interests, is pres!-
dent of the Exchange National Bank of
Columbia. and also takes much interest in
politics. He was elected as a delegate from
Boone County to the Democratic Judicial
Convention at Springfield recently. 1t is as
a cattleman, however, that he has the wild
est reputation.
At the National Fat Stock Show at Pitts
brrg last year Mt. McBaine was awarded
the first prize on his bunch Of Hereford fat
cafe and won second in the sweepstakes.
BIT for the fact that his cattle suffered
from the long trip to PIttsburg he would
probably have won first in the sweepstakes.
He is now preparing a choice bunch of sixty
head OF hereford cattle for exhibition at the
Chicago Fat Stock Show in December, and
confidently expects to carry off the class
prize and also the sweepstakes. Two years
hence h. expects to make a creditable ex-
hibit Of his cattle at the International Fat
Stock Show In Sheffield. England.
Farm Comprises Several
Thousand Acres of Bottom Lands.
Mr.. McBaine's farm. where all of his cat
tie are fed. IS located along the bluffs and
bottoms. of the Missouri River, in Southern
Boone County. The farm comprises several
thousand acres Of the richest hill and bot
tom lands in the State. While there are
some low bottoms on the farm, which are
The St. Louis Republic. [volume] (St. Louis, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1902-08-03

occasionally overfowed. the great bulk of
the land is not ordinarily subject to the
oYerflows of the Big Muddy" The bottom
fields are, for the most part. planted in
corn and wheat, while the hills are reserved
for pastures-and such pastures as exist no
where else in Missouri. On a number of
the hills the blu grass grows from three
to five feet high. To a person standing on
the fence inclosing these fields, only the
backs of the cattle are visible. OF course.
in some years the grass is more abundant
than in others. For example, last year, ow-
ing to the drought. the grass was shorter
than It has been in many years. perhaps
shorter than it has been since the farm was
first used for cattle feeding; while this year
the grass has been unusually abundant.
The great abundance and extraordinary
height of the grass is explained by the
number Of years these pastures have been
devoted to their present use. and by the
character of the feed used.
A number of the fields have been used as
blue grass pastures for more than fifty
years. They were first used for this pur-
pose by Mr.. McBaine's father. who was also
a cattleman of wide reputation. The last
crop raised on the hills before they were
turned into blue grass pasture was tobacco.
They were devoted to the culture of this
product In the days Of steamboat traffic on
the river. when tobacco was the principal
product Of the Boone County farms. and
practically the only product shipDed to mar
ket. Since they ceased to be used for to-
bacco these pastures nave never been
plowed, but have been steadily devoted to
grazing purposes.
Mr.. McBaine feeds a great deal of cotton
seed meal to his cattle, and it is well known

The rice is getting pretty nearly all
out OF the fields and into the ware
houses. The crop has been sad
disappointment to the farmers this
year. The yield is not nearly so
much as was expected and the
quality very inferior as a general
thing. Very few will be able to pay
ont this year, and good many are
left badly in debt. As many as can
get away are leaving here; every day
some one is going. Mr.. Hedrick
and family, the Mr.. Young's, Will
White and scores of others are fixing
now to go-some back North and
others to other points in this State
and Texas.
The outlook for Gueydan is not
bright by any means. Still those
who have little property here are
asking exorbitant prices for it and
expecting double what the property
is worth in rent. There are empty
houses now lying idle because of the
greed of landlords, and there will be
plenty more before the year is
out.
