The Orient.

The News believes that ir less
than three weeks o. w. Pegee,
locating engineer for the Kansas
City, Mexico and Orient Railway
Co. will be in Sonora in charge of
II camp" of surveyors running q
line from the head of Spring
Creek, near Sherwood via Sonora
to the Spofford Junction country.
The News is reliably informed
that Mr.. Pegee has been instructed
by his company to make this sur
vey and has been held in San An
gelo awaiting the arrival of crew
of expert surveyors, of his own
selection, from headquarters in
Kansas City. The News wishes
to further state that it in not the
policy of the Orient people to put
surveying camp in the field I'M
less it is their intention to IN the
near future build the line so sur
veyed. If the Orient decides to
build town and make the juno
ton at Spring Creek it will make
good town there and the pros
poets for Sonora being another
good town on the road appears to
us to be very bright. However
even should the survey come
through Sonora and operations
commenced ut once we would have
to await the building of the main
line through San Angelo to Spring
Creek before the branch or semi
mainline through Sonora could be
commenced. So you don't want
to think you hear the train COM
ing for year or more at least

Court. Several big concerns had
bid on the contract, but our COM
missioners-like the sensible fell
lows they are-gave the contract
to home people, thereby saving
the county over 500, in the deal
besides putting some good money
in the pockets of the home people,
If the officers of other counties
were like ours, the country news
papers would not have such a
struggle for existence.
Our officers never send away for
anything that can be had ut
home without giving us q chance
at it and in turn we save the tax
payers from 10 to 50per cent on
all printing done for the county.

KANSAS HAS COME IN
The Clean Certificate VIII Prevent The
Inspection by the State Officials
Heretofore Insisted On.

FIT. Worth, Texas, August o.
A ruling that is of vital impor-
lance to Texas cattlemen has just
been made by NJ. G. Campbell,
chairman of the Kansas sanitary
board, which admits Texas cattle
into and through Kansas on
government inspection. This
information was wired Live Stock
Agent Conway of the Santa Fee
road TODAY. Heretofore the Kan
sas board prevented Texas cattle
from entering that State even
when carrying II clean govern
ment certificate of health with
out first being inspected by the
Kansas inspectors. While every
cattle state in the West has long
since admitted Texas cattle on
government inspection, Kansas
held out and is the last state TO
fall in line. This will be crafty
ing news to every stockman III

burg American steamship line
whereby the latter will put into
service its ships to handle the
freight of the Orient to and from

two years to complete the Orient

which to build ships for service
in connection with the Orient
road.

pany, which is building the Orient

STOCK NEWS.
PREPAYMENT sTOcKMAN's VIEW.
Reasons for the Low Price
49, Is too Many Cattle and
TOO Little Rain.

A prominent Midland ranch
man, in an interview with the
Dallas News correspondent OF
Colorado. takes n rather pessimis.
tic view Of the situation. He
expresses it as follows:
81 am not one of those who
think the cattle business is rosy
as to its present conditions and
future prospects. i do not see
anything good in it, and am 60
ing to get out of it, at least as a
proposition, as soon as ] can.
The fever line is slowly moving
each year, and at the same time
the range is becoming more and
more overcrowded, not only where
it is free, but where the lease law
is in operation. The result is II
grade of stuff that is not profit
able either to the cowman himself
or to those who handle the ami
mails after they leave his hands.
The truth of the matter is that
too much old stuff is being carried,
and there will have TO be a general
cleaning up before the business
can resume general healthy
condition. OF course, it IS hard
to sell at low figure, and for that
matter, few are going to do 1t,
but unless it is done hundreds
are gong up against losing game
in the next year or two. 1t is
inevitable, especially if the rain
fall continues as unsatisfactory
as it has been in the last four
years. Unless rains set in prompt
~ there Is going to be heavy die
off this year, and even if they
begin at once there will have to
be q very heavy fall shipment or
the real cause of the trouble will
remain where it is. Taking it
altogether, the outlook is not
good in West Texas. The large
owners will pull through, but it is
hard to see where the man with a
few hundred head and no reserve
capital is going to make good.
1t may be that he can do it if
conditions improve at once, but
that is n happy result there is no
reason to expect, Finally the bust
ness will get back in its old healthy
channels, but that is not close.
At present there are too many
cattle, too little rain, and not
enough indications of wise selling
this fall.

LAREDO AFTER THE ORIENT.
The City VIII Send Representative
TO Kansas City to attend the
Stockholders Meeting.

Laredo, Texas, Aug. 21.-This
city will send a representative to
Kansas City tomorrow in the
person of Hon. J o. Nicholson,
to appear before the stockholders
meeting of the Kansas City, Mex
leo and Orient railroad TO present
Laredo's claim for the branch of
that road which is to extend south
from San Angelo.
Both Del Rio and Eagle Pass
are pulling for the road, but this
city has more to offer rs ali in
ducement than any other place on
the border stream.
The extensive coal fields on both
sides of the Rio Grande twenty
five miles north of here, is a strong
card in favor OF this.
The Orient has a corps of sur
veyors in the field now running
the line from San Angelo to
Brownsville 1t is the only road
to Brownsville that will, if it
builds, strike the real tonnage
producing territory, that is, the
rich lands adjutant 10 the river,
the latter affording an album
dance of water for irrigation
By extending to this place the
Orient will also strike more val
liable rail connections than at any
other point IN the Rio Grande
valley.

fire was started by lightning

grass on fire.-Eldorado Sun.
