Hereford Brand.
1t is with regret and humility
that we have to publish to the
world that a few of Hereford S
citizens have placed her in a
position where she MAY change
from better to worse in the mat
ter of organization, though we
doubt if their efforts in this di
rection will be successful. On
Wednesday last G.. G. Wither-
spoon presented a properly
signed petition to County Judge
Boyd, requesting that that Off
cial order an election to deter
mine whether or not the incor-
pOration shall be annulled.
Some people maintain that
they have had enough of incor-
poration and complain of the
ordinances and laws, either as a
whole or in part, yet we have
failed to find one of these who
could point to an unjust or OBJ
noXiouS law passed by the City
Council, aud when closely ques
toned fail to give one reason as
to why they are opposed to in
corporation. That they have
reasons, however, we have no
doubt, but their reasons are bet
ter left unsaid. Some of them
are in the employ of wealthy
foreign Interpretations, who,
Notwithstanding the fact that
they have derived large reye'
nues from their investments in
this city, object to the paltry
taxes to which they would be
subjected through incorpora.
ton, and thereby donate their
Just share toward the city's i'm.
provement.

force Demands.
Denver, Nov. 1O.-More than 10000
coal miners in Colorado went on
strike during the day for an eight
hOur day, increased wages and other
concessions. The strike was ordered
by the national officers Of the United
Mine Workers of America after the
coal companies refused to confer with
union representatives concerning the
demands of the men. OF the idle
men 5000 are in the southern coal
fields, 1000 in the northern coal fields
and 1900 In Fremont county. One
hundred mines have been closed down.
A few independent properties in the
northern coal fields and elsewhere will
not stop work since the operators
have agreed to concede the eight-hour
day and also to increase wages. Few
er than 1000 miners will remain at
work, according to reports from the
affected regions. The announcement
comes that 600 men have gone out in
Colfax county, New Mexico. The
other miners in that territory are now
negotiating with the mine owners.
The Colorado Fuel and Iron, the
Victor Fuel and the Northern Coal
and Coke, companies are the largest
producers. Nearly all their property
has been tied up by the action Of the
miners. They are, however, making
efforts to continue operations under
the protection of a strong guard.
There are about 40 coal mines In
Colorado, with an output of some
100000 tons of coal and about 1,000,-
900 tons of coke year.

COLOMBIA PROTESTS.
Objects to Action of the United States
Regarding Panama.

Washington, Nov 9.-It has been
learned in official circles that the
United States of Colombia has lodged
protest with the state department
against the action of the United States
In connection with the events which
have occurred on the Isthmus of
Panama. The terms of the protest
could not be ascertained, but it is
known that strong objection is made
to the attitude of the United States in
general and against interpretations
made by this government Of the treaty
of 1S46 between the United States Of
America and the United States of
Colombia. The state department has
the protest under serious considera-
tion, but the nature of it's reply, if any,
or the time it will be made is not
known. Other than admitting that
such a document had beeen filed in the
state department the officials there
will say nothing about the matter.
Word has reached the navy depart
ment of the arrival Of the United
States cruiser Boston at Panama.

Fargo's City Treasurer Transfers the
Street Car Companys Forfeit
Money to the General
Fund and Uses 1t.

The Fargo Street Railway company
asked the city council for a second
extension of time, until Aug l, 1904,
to complete the line for which the
franchise was granted several months
ago. Trouble with the original pro.
moters has been assigned as the rea-
son for the delay. The real stock.
holder finally organized and put up
bond Of $4,000 to guarantee their in.
tention to build the line. Failure to
secure shipments of material in time
has made it impossible to do the re.
quired amount Of work this winter.
The secretary of the company has ap.
peared with bill of lading for sew
eral thousand dollars worth of steel
that has been shipped from Pittsburg
and other evidence that the company
is in earnest. City Treasurer Mitchell
declared the $4,000 forfeit money put
up by the company forfeited, however,
and he has transferred it to the gen.
eral fund and Is paying warrants with
the amount. The council extended the
time of the franchise and the forfeit,
but the treasurer decided the council
had no authority over the forfeit.

TExAS CATTLE IN CANADA.
The Man Who Runs Cattle There Needs
His Nerve With Him.

The Colorado City correspondent of
the Dallas News writes:
A. J. Day, manager fer the /Cresswell
Cattle Company, which formerly owned
ranches in Floyd county, Tex, and North
Dakota, but now operating exclusively
in Assiniboia, in British America, is back
in Texas locking after the final wlndiAg
up of the company's affairs in this state.
The shipment of forty cars just made re-
moves all the company's cattle interests
from Texas, and the Dakota ranch has
also been closed out, the company now
having all its 10000 cattle on Canadian
ranges.
"Our cattle are doing we'll in Assini-
boia,, b 1 says a Mr.; j., Day The he pastures
stock locks we'll. Of course, in that
country the cattlemen depend entirely
on range feed, and raise all their own
cattle, as there is no young stock for sale.
We keep them until they are four years
old before marketing them and all the
good cattle are exported. Of course,
there is no provision made for old cows
and poor stuff, except the local market.
which up to the present has been very
good, as the country is filling up and the
new towns are opening up.
"No feeding whatever is done there.
as nothing in the way of rough feed is
raised except little prairie hay The
only other stock in the country is sheep,
which are restricted to certain territory
and are not permitted to run around as
they do in this country. The cattlemen
lease all the lands they use, as there is
no such thing as open free range. The
cost to the oattlemen of leasing with the
taxes they have to pay amounts to about
SIC per acre per year. One..of the great
drawbacks to the cattle industry is the
market, as none are shipped over into.
the United States, as the duty would cut
off all the profit. This tariff would
amount to about SII on a $40 steer,
which is pretty steep and which keeps
the cattlemen out, ....
"The man who goes into the British
northwest to engage in the cattle busi-
ness must take his nerve with him and
keep it right within reach all the time.
Any time he allows it to get away from,
him he is goner. What with snow as
deep as the bottomless pit and the
temperature 40 degrees below zero, and
the mosquitoes as big as humming birds,
the cowman has lot to contend With aps
there. What the Canadian government:
wants is settlers, and it pays more: atten-.
tion to man with family thar it, doess
to cattleman with 10000 head Of cat,,
tle." 49,. a.
