End of Great Grazing District In

End Of Great Grazing District In
sight--The Cause.
The Usage nation today is the great
est grazing district in the Southwest,
size taken into consideration. Last
season 5000 cars, or over 100000 head,
of steers and cows we're shipped from
it's pastures. and in addition to this
number were several thousand head
that were held through winter There
are hundreds of Oklahomans who are
looking at the Usage nation with long
ing eyes and are anxiously awaiting
the day they can divide the fertile
land into farms, as has been done to
the west and south of the nation. The
present year win probably be the last
in which a big movement of Texas cat
tie to that section win be enjoyed.
and two years longer will probably
see the complete elimination of the
Usage nation from the list Of grazing
grounds for Texas steers. The big
COW men will then have to conflne
their operations to the country south
and east of the nation. The passing Of
the Usage nation as a mammoth graz
ing field will see the end of Elgin
Kansas, supremacy as a shipping sta
ton Last year was Elgin's greatest
year in the business. With favorable
conditions and no adverse quarantine
restrictions in force the town may this
year equal the record Of 1902, but this
year will certainly be the climax Of
her greatness and cattlemen say the
decline will be rapid

A Pleasant Sail on the Bay.

The annual summer Sunday ex-
cursions opened up last Sunday on
the Rio Grande railroad to Point
Isabel with few Americans and
quite large crowd of our Mexican
citizens. Several families have re-
moved to the Point this week for
the summer, and many more will
probably remove next week. No
doubt tomorrow there will be a
goodly number of excursionists.
Two representatives, of THE HER
AID made the trip last Sunday, re-
turning in the 8 o'clock train.
While there, and after eating a
splendid luncheon of oysters, crabs
and fish, one of THE HERALD
scribes, accompanied by Messrs
Jim Harold and Walter Beach,
Texas Rangers, proceeded in search
of boat to go sailing on the bay
They did not have far to 90 until
they were held up by that prince
of good fellows and splendid sea-
man, Capt Cooper Walker, and the
services of himself and n sail boat
were placed at the disposal of the
Brownsville party free of charge.
The name of the vessel is for
gotten, but the memory of the
delightful sail will not soon, if ever,
fade from the minds OF Captain
Walkers guests. The bay was in
fine condition, a light, steady
breeze was blowing and shifting
clouds relieved the vision from the
glare of the suns aine. Captain
Walker carried his guests out into
the harbor. beyond where the
ManteO was at anchor, and return
ed Just in time for them to catch
the 8 o'clock train.
The party felt under lasting
obligations to Captain Walker for
his courtesy and regretted that there
was no margin of time allowed
them from the return of the ship
to the departure of the train in
which to show their generous APP
probation of the kindness in some
substantial way. However, I'VE will
meet again, Clemanthe."
