STOCKRAIS|NC,
PAST--PRESENT.

In the eighties and early
niueties and prior thereto, stock.
raising in Texas, southwest,
west and northwest of the State
Capitol was a problem far differ
eut from what it is today. Then,
stock roamed at will over vast
areas Of territory covered with
the native nutritious grasses in
their primitive perfect state
all free to the stockman. In
those days, Texas, or vast
portion of it was indeed turned
loose" and the more stock you
possessed the less it cost you to
Craze them. The rule then was
as in the time of Abraham and
Lot-the stockmen divided up
the country as though they were
owners of it in fee simple and
none dare say them nay. AS
recent as 70, The News man re
members meeting at Coleman
City in which the Wileys, Cog
gines, Fountains, Days, Mat

Coates, Connels, and some
others, DIVIDED up among them
selves all of Texas west of them,
extending south to the breaks
of the Devils River country and
north beyond where Abilene is
now. What a picnic the COW
man, horseman and hogman had

Guiding the writer, thought it
woulG last forever and acting
accordingly failed to make ''hay
while the sun shined." Any
kind or breed of stock did then.
What if they were worth moth
ing?-they cost less-rounding
up some in the spring, and a
little salt, that's about all. The
longhorn, broncho and razor
back happily fit the conditions
then-feed was free-but now
how different.
Under the old order of things,
now passed away forever in SO

the native stock fit in very well

they won't answer for now.

THE LONE FARMER OF OLD
DIAMOND HEADS CRATER
All industrious Native Makes Home in Old
Leahi and Earns Livelihood
From the Soil. /

I'D the very center Of the crater OF
tbahond Head a lone man has squat
ted, built a shack, planted garden
and made his home. Loneliness is his
lot and solitude his portion. His only
| visitors are the wandering mongoose
and the mynahs and doves.
! in his exteniporized garden lot from
| the rising to the going down of the
| sun with none to commend his labors
and none to condemn.
To get to the spot one must make the
ascent of old Leahi from the seaward
side, quite an undertaking, but not to
be compared in point of difficulty with
the climb up the mauka slope.
The edge of the crater reached, a
basin-like prospect presents itself to
w,
great crater, with the exception of a
circular expanse, perhaps with radi-
us of two hundred yards, being thickly
grown with lantana and algaroba
trees.
In this green, grassy oasis the man,
a native, has pitched mis- camp, which
consists of wooden shack with kerosene
oil can reinforcements. surrounded by
an enclosure of brush, piled up so as to
constitute a fence or boundary. The
area of the enclosure is about two
acres and is divided into two sections,
one of which, shaded by trees, is used
as a paddock for a solitary COW that
has dwelt in the crater for years, ar
irving there, no one knows how. Cat
tie must have been fairly plentiful in
the crater at one time as, indicated by
numerous well-worn paths through the
lantana thicket.
Perchance the mans appearance has
worked a decrease in the visible sup
ply of beef on the hoof.
In the second enclosure which has
been carefully cleared and dug, a
goodly crop of sweet potatoes is coming
to fruition Here also are planted lima
beans. radishes. tomatoes. tobacco and
beets.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1905-08-23

The dwelling place is situated in a
corner of the paddock and is sheltered
| by trees. Near at hand is a cooking
| apparatus of primitive design, built
on the ground. An immense glass
demijohn for the reception of rain
water has been placed at the back of
| the house. A cuplike arrangement OF
canvas fitting into the neck of the
| bottle gathers the precious drops.
When the writer visited the place
the occupant was not at home, but
signs of his having been there recent
1y were plentiful. In the shack an
| empty barrel of poi was found, also a
bottle of native tobacco, an old coat and
hat, blanket, knife, fork and spoon,
some dishes and an old copy of the
Nupepa Kuokoa. The breaches made
in the fence to allow of ingress and
egress had been carefully branehed up.
From outside sources it has been
learned that the movements of the
squatter are shrouded in more or less
mystery. He is said to pack provisions
into the crater over the makai trail
and to remain in his solitary home
until they are exhausted. Then he
vacates his strange eyrie and goes, no
one knows whittier, though it has been
averred that he sometimes stays with
a friend near>Kaalawai
The center of the crater supports a
rank growth of herbage even in the
heat of summer, capable of providing
ideal pasturage for many cattle. In
the very middle of the depression and
cit f1ocks of ducks occasionally find
their way.
And in this place human being is
striving to wreak living from the
soil. Alone with his thoughts he tolls
in the glare of the sun and sleeps be-
meath the ghostly rays of the wan
crater's night.
What guided his footsteps thither-
remorse, fear or sickness, or the hum
ger for a home-none may say.
1t maybe that he is the pioneer of
utility of the space and waste of grim
Diamond Head.
