MexicO's Cattle King

A report from Chihuahua, Mexico, states that of all the cattle kings on the western continent, Don Luis Ter razas of that city stands at the head. His dozen wide spreading ranches ex- tend out over 10000, 900 acres of valley and mountain land, half of which is as fine grazing range as can be found in the republic. The Mexican Central railroad cuts across one of his big ranches in stretch of no miles.
 Nearly 1,00O,000 cattle are nipping the grass on this group of ranches. A half million sheep find grazing there, as do also 100000 horses
 Don Luis can control the price of beefsteak in Mexico. A heavy ship ment from his heards is certain to af- feet prices in the central market and the smaller dealers try to push their cattle into market while the Terrazas steers are fattening at ease on the rich grass. Range News.

There are no forest or grass fires in
England, because Sherwood Forest is
"sheeped." So is New Forest. They
are fed down so close by sheep, while
the poor pick up the sticks so care
fully that there is nothing left to burn.
There are no fires in Japan, because
every tree belongs to the Emperor.
Your rooftree may have been in your
family for generations, but il takes a
great deal of red tape to cut down a
tree in Japan, for every tree. no
matter where it stands, is trimmed
and trained for scenic purposes by the
Government. Our own land State and
Federal, should take a deeper interest
IN forestry. and we cannot bIt~ hail
with gratitude the action of our State
University, through Professor Sterling,
along this line of work. Any man cut
ting a tree should be made to clean
it uD. root and branch.
Meantime l shall continue to try to
forestall fire with fire, as l believe
every other careful and foresighted
granger in the State does and has done
from the first, taking his lesson from
the Indians. When a safer or cheaper
method is found, which is not improb-
able with those learned men to lead

Hon. W. o. Smith, editor Of the

member of Congress from this district,
will be the candidate for the Rcpubi-

Mr. Smith will not have any opposition
In Jefferson county for the nomination

In the district, Indiana, Armstrong and
Clarion, will concede Mr.. Smith the
nomination In the district for second
term, It having been the custom in this
district to give the Congressman two
terms in succession. Considering the
fact that Hon. w. o. Smiths ability to

not have any opposition for the nomi-
nation, 1t Is not necessary for us TO eu-

There is nothing so ancient rs yes

OF the country turn out their numberess
editions day after day and an eager pub
lie, with an appetite Unsuitable for
variety, devours the days paper and
throws IL away, asking only moments

have been one Of the most pleasing
features OF that paper. A man OF wide
experience, a graduate of the "univer-
sity OF hard knocks" he had learned
the art of writing in homely, uncon-
ventional style which never tagged in
interest. Whether in Russian oil fields,
western boom towns, describing new in.
dustries, interviewing some picturesque
pioneer character, or just telling the
delights OF rambling jaunt over rural
roads, his homely philosophy was ever
present and made it all peculiarly
entertaining. The thousands who have
followed his pen with delight for so
long will wish him happiness in his new

When capital and labor are at odds,
when strikes and riots prevail, II is Gus
tomary for long suffering people to
wish that employers and their employees
might get together and act in harmony.
In Chicago they have tried the expert
ment-and surprised and indignant
public is praying for return to lack OF
harmony. Five years ago the coal
teamsters of the city organized and be-
gan fight for increased wages. The
coal team owners, in defense, organized
an employers association. The contest
ended in victory for the employees, but
with unusual provisions for while the
team owners bound themselves to en-
ploy none but members OF this particular
union, the teamstors, on their part,
agreed not to work for any firm that
did not belong to the employers asso-
citation. Now In such strongly union
lied city as Chicago this agreement
practically drove all independent team
owners out OF existence, for even had
they attempted to deliver coal with
non-union drivers, the said drivers
would have returned with broken heads.
That's strenuous way the unions have
in Chicago. Having a complete mon
oply, the coal delivery combination pro-
ceeded to make the most OF 1t. First
the teamsters raised their own wages
from 10 to 35 per cent, so that many
coal teamster in Chicago now earns
from, 800 to $l20 month and to pre-
vent possible attempts to cut wages, the
teamsters' union has Sls, 900 in its treas,
ury for warfare. The coal team owners,
secure In their complete monopoly, at
once raised the price OF coal carriage. SO
that load OF coal formerly costing Tho
people Sl 40 now sells for So 90 Finding
extortion so easy, the combination b.
came aggressive. Many large firms In
Chicago u.s. d natural gas piped In from
Indiana during the summer months, Oh
account OF its cleanliness, but had To re-
turn TO coal In the winter because of
shortage OF gas. or course the use of
gas cut In heavily on the sale OF coal In
the summer. So the coal team owners,
backed up by their union employees,
calmly ordered the owners of the bus
iness blocks to quit using gas, tear out
the gas plumbing in their buildings,
and use coal exclusively, or they would
refuse to haul any coal for them during
the winter. In the face OF such an un.
just demand they were helpless. They
had to have coal. They could get It
only through the association. And the
gas pipes were torn out.
