GROWS ON RANGE.
SPLENDID RESULTS OBTAINED
FROM EXPERIMENTS WITH
RRnA4E ct2A IN THE
MEsT.
Officials Confident That Forage Cues
tlon IN Light Rainfall Region is
Solved.

Some months ago Judge e. v. Long,
observing In the Rocky Mountain News
an article which gave glowing accounts
of the success resulting from the use
on the range, especially, where the
rain fall is light, Of Bronze grass, wrote
to the secretary OF the Divide Live
Stock company asking for further par
ticulars. The answer was long de-
layed but has finally come. II proves
very satisfactory. Judge Long kindly
submits to The Optic the original ar
ticle from the News. and the letter
received from Secretary Kirk Of the
Divide company.
The article follows; 1t appeared in
the News in the shape Of special
from Washington:
Reports received from homestead
ers, catlemen and others interested in
the developmnt of the semi arid lands
OF the west show taht splendid results
are being obtained from the Bronze
grass. which the department Of agri-
culture has been experimenting for
years to secure some form OF forage
plant or grass that would grow In the
regions where the rainfall Is light It
has long been the hope Of officials to
secure some grass Of this character
that would solve the public range
problem, and they now express con-
siderable confidence that the problem
is in fair way OF being solved.
The Bronze grass has been known in
Europe for more than q century. its
home being In Hungary, where II has
established reputation for with
standing severe droughts. In 1884 the
agents or the department of agri-
culture secured seed OF the grass. and
began experimenting with II In this
country. The FIRST efforts were not
very successful. but In the last few
years better results have been obtain
ed. and there are now indications that
It's general adoption will spread rap.
idly over the semiarid regions. Kan
sas has led in the experiments with the
new grass. more than 100 farmers and.

THE CHICAGO HOLOCAUST.
ANNIVERSARY OF THE HISTORIC
EXPLOIT OF MRS. o,LEARY'S
oRNERY COW.
Graphic RecolIections Of the Awful
Day When Many Barriers Were
Burned Away.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Oct 9.-Today
marks the thirty second anniversary
Of the great Chicago fire. 1t is also
day when the "old settlers Of the
western metropolis gather into big and
little groups and recount their thrill
ing experiences on that memorable
October 8 of 1871, when a whirlwind
OF fame swept for miles through the
city Of $4,000 inhabitants, causing
a monetary loss approximating $780,
600, rendering tens of thousands of
persons homeless and poverty-strick-
en- and leaving the charred remains
Of hundreds in its wake.
The origin of the great fire has
been traced indirectly to the ill-tem-
per Of an ordinary milch GOWNS.
OLeary's cow" as it now is celebrat-
ed in the annals of Chicago's history.
This COW was kept In two-story,
frame barn in the rear Of modest
dwelling at No. 1877 De Koven street,
on the southwest side Of the city.
Shortly after 8 p. m. Sunday, October
5, flames were discovered issuing
from the O'Leary barn. Those who
attempted to extinguish the blaze In
the barn testified TO finding a kero-
sene lamp shattered into pieces with
in range of the cows heels. The world
believes that COW kicked the lamp to
pieces. thus giving life to the great
conflagration which followed.
There was delay in getting the
alarm to the fire department. and In
getting water to the fire after the
alarm. The nearest engines failed to
get TO the flre until after Il was be-
yond control, in the dry southwest
gale that was blowing and the parched
fuel--a three months lrouth, pre-
ceded the fire--that war ready to help
1t forward.
Great brands OF fire were caught
up high In the air. observers say from
900 to 500 feet--and whirled off to the
northeast, dropping where they would,
and starting new fires far to leeward
of the old. BY midnight the flames
had swept across the south branch
Of the Chicago river and eaten into
the business heart OF the city. The
mayor remained In the court house
as long as II was tenable.
This was the supreme moment OF
disaster, for that building had been
the storehonse, and was now the
tomb, Of records. The chain Of title
by which every owner held every foot
of property in Cook county. from the
government to the latest buyer and
lender. came TO utter annihilation.
