Copper King Buys Big Cattle Ranch.

What is declared to be the greatest
sale of ranch property ever recorded
in the history of this country or
Mexico has just been concluded in
Salt Lake City and Colonel w. G.
Greene, the southwestern copper
king, has added to his already i'm
mense holdings 2,5OO,OOO arces at a
cost of about ST, ,250,000.
The sale was made by Colonel Chas.
F. Hunt, acting as agent4for Colonel
Greene, from the Wood -Hagenbarth
Cattle company of Salt Lake, owners
of the Palomas Land and Cattle
company, of Chihuahua, Mexico.
BY this deal the property now owned
by Colonel Greene exceeds in area
that of Governor Terrazas of Chi
huahua, who controls 100000 acres.
The land just bought begins at a
point sixteen miles west of Ell Paso,
Texas, and extends along the Ameri-
can border in westerly direction on
both sides of, the line about $50 miles.
1t is stated that if this property were
laid out in strip one-quarter of a
mile wide it would form a belt around
the globe.
Besides the land Colonel Greene
secured 1000 head of cattle of high
grade American quality, 1000 head of
thoroughbreds and 1000 head of stock
horses and mules.
The ranch is completely fenced and
subdivided and is improved with we'll
drilling plants, sawmills and a great
variety of modern machinery for
farming and mining purposes.
1t is understood that Colonel Hunt
will Immediately take charge of the
new holdings and continue their de-
velopment. Twenty-Five thousand
head of cattle will be turned into III :
territory and these, with the herds
already there, will make it the great
est COW ranch in the world.
Colonel Hunt, whose home is in Ell
Paso, declined to enter into details
of the sale, but from other sources it
was learned that all negotiations
have been closed and that the prop
erty has been formerly delivered.

Neglected Colds Threaten Life
From the Chicago Tribune

"Don't trifle with a cold,' is good
advice for prudent men women. 1t
may be vital in the case of a child.
Proper food good ventilation, and
dry, warm clothing are the proper
safeguards against colds. If they are
maintained through the changeable
weather of autumn, winter, and
spring, the chances of a surprise from
ordinary colds will be slight. But
the ordinary light cold will become
severe if neglected, and Il well
established ripe cold is to the germs
of diphtheria what honey is to the
bee. The greatest menace to child
life at this season of the year is the
cold" Whether it is a child or adult
the cold slight or severe, the very
best treatment that can be adopted
is to give Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. 1t is safe and sure. The
great popularity and immense sale
of this preparation has been attained
by its remarkable cures of this all
ment. A cold never results in pneu-
monia when it is given. For sale by
druggits,
