WHAT WERE SONGS OF THE
 PLAINS?

What were the words and music to them, in which the creators of the wet, between 1850 and 1880 sung their hopes and fears. their fun and Jokes, their joys and sorrows. their loves and hates?
 What were the songs of the early pioneers, of the Argonauts of 'a9. of the gold seekers Of "Pike's peak or bust of the sheep herders, the cowboys. the rangers, the c3tuemen an6 horsemen. of the Indians and the half breeds. of the frontier settlers, their women and children?-
 If you know any of these old songs. elther words or music or both. please send same 70 me, in part if you can remember them all. No matter how trivial the snatch, rhyme or ditty. joke. story or wit let me have it. PhotJ- graphs, pictures or prints of those old times are also desired, especially folks in their working clothes instead of Sun day best: so stories and experiences of those days, clippings frcm local pa perS of old settlers experiences, etc Everything carefully returned if re quested Anything unique in the way of songs among guides and cowboys at present or during the past 10 years, will also be welcomed.

The publications devoted to spe- cialtieS have been steadily supersed- ed by the large dailies, which have invaded every field of journalism. The Sunday edition has become a most importaot factor in journalism, which when aided by the linotype or other composing machines have done the work of four to nine men. The line cut and the tint cut. called "half-tone," have made the rapid production of a counterfeit presentment of a photo graph possible.
