STOCK CONDITIONS.

While the west wind was raging
over the Panhandle Sunday bring
ing along its usual quote of New
Mexico sand, storms and floods
were the rule in Kansas. From
above Fort Scott down to the south
line Kansas was soaked full and
running over, The rains extended
south through the Territory and
down over Texas to :the Gulf of
Mexico. The western limit of these
rains, except in a very few local
instances, was about the west line
of Wise county and thence south.
West of that line and including the
whole Panhandle and running south
across the Rio Grande into Mexico
it is still dry. In the greater part
of this vast area no rains to amount
to much have fallen since October
and the usual winter SHOWS came
not. The grasses left over from
last year, barring a few favored
localities, are about gone and no
new grass can come until it rains.
1t has been dry so long that showers
won't answer, it must rain-noth-
ing but "ground soaker" will put
West Texas clearly on its feet
again.
The stock are still pegging along
in the Plains country but how in
the world they manage to do so not
onlyex ties the wonder of the new
conner and visitor, but also OF the
old Gland marks" themselves. In
general, the country is almost bare,
nothing but the stubs of last years
grass being visible and the stock
still survive. But this condition
cannot last forever, even the grub
bing for old grass roots will finally
stop for want of material to work
on, and then the end must come.
Just how long the stock interests
of this section can wait for rain is a
matter Of some speculation.
Some say that even with good
rains by May Ist, the loss, especial
ly among mother COWS and calves,
will be considerable. Others claim
that we can hold on until the middle
of May without much loss; and
there are yet others, old-timers too,
who assert that the cattle can stand
it until June. These last named
gentlemen have probably had their
faith strengthened by the experience
of Dr.. Tanner, in his forty days
fast, but in the opinion of the writer
it won't do to judge the old cow
that way-June without rain, cot
ton.seed meal or such like feed will
find her in the bone yard.
Present conditions are most as
suredly gloomy but with good rains
by the first of the month the chances
are that all will be well. and not
only for the stockmen, but for the
farmer also.
Old Plainsmen claim that this is
the longest and worst drouth within
their recollection to the new men
the experience proves that no
country on earth can stand such
test as has this and come out so
we'll.

Hello, CentraIl

In the course of few day a
new directory of the telephones
of the Columbu Exchange will
be issued. On account of the
large number of changes and
additions which have been made
recently it has become impossi-
BILE for the operators to remem-
Der the numbers of all the tele-
phones. We therefore request
our patrons in using the tele-
phone to first look up the name
of the party wanted in the di-
rectory and to get their tele-
phone mum Der and to ask the
operator for the number instead
of giving the name of the party
wanted. This will make the ser
vice much more rapid. otherwise
while the operator is looking mp
the number you want others
have called her and are waiting
for an answer, and probably a
delay in answering you is from
the same cause.
All connections are made on
the switchboard by number and
no. by names, so please call by
numbers only in the new direc-
tory. This will help you as well
