IN OKLAHOMA AND TEXAS.
MIR. Darrigrand Visits Fort Worth and
Dallas

Superintendent Charles Darrigraud Of
the Dold Packing company returned yes
terday from a short visit to Fort Worth
Mr. Darrigrand knows about as much
about a packing house as any man in the
west and some of the boys at the Dold
plant are anxious to know what he
thought of the Fort Worth houses.
Armour and Swift" he said. have
spent a good deal of money at Fort
Worth and they have good plants. They
are up 70 date packing houses and large
ones. They are doing a good business
killing cattle because they are in the
midst of the cattle ranges and they can
buy grass fed cattle cheaper than we
can here. They are too far south for
hogs. They are practically outside of the
hog belt Texas, Indian Territory and
extreme southern Oklahoma people are
rot in the hog business When they miss
a corn crop it takes them two or three
years to get another start of hogs"
Mr.. Darrigrand went to Fort Worth on
The Rock Island and returned over the
Santa Fe He says the country looks
pretty we'll but along the Rock Island in
Oklahoma is pretty dry and dusty. When
he came 10 tlkldnOlna lily yesterday
morning he found that there had been
about rain enough to lay the dust and he
could see that the rainfall had increased
fl ON there 10 Wichita. He found the
people around Fort Worth picking their
first crop of cotton but the best cotton
that he saw was between Oklahoma City
and Guthrie.
He said the people in Oklahoma had
begun 20 SOW wheat and or the famous
101 ranch he thought there was about
thirty wheat drills at work. He supposed
they were sowing early so as to get the
benefit Of pasturing the wheat.
The Wichita packer came back very
much in favor Of electric interurban rail-
ways. There is an interurban line from
Fort Worth TO Dallas. A distance Of thirty
miles, and Mr.. Dauigrand went the
round trip for one dollar and fifteen cents.
He says the car made the trip from one
town to the other in an hour and half
and it is mighty nice riding. No dust or
cinders. and the cars were full Of peope
and the line seemed to be doing a paying
business.
