Judge o. H. Nelson, president OF
the Western Stock Yards Co., of Am
arillo, Tex, and FIT. Madison, Iowa,
arrived in Roswell this morning from
Carlsbad. He stopped here to look
for a site for the annual Panhandle
sale of pure blood stock, which always
goes with the Panhandle Cattlemen's
Convention, aad making other ar
rangements. He and the Roswell men
interested have found two sites, eth
er one of which would be satisfactory
Their decision will be announced la
ter.
Judge Nelson is enthusiastic as to
the success of the April meeting of
cattlemen. He is especially eathusias-
tic as to his portion of it, the SALE
He says that he will have as fine cat
tie, both Herefords and Shorthorns,
as can be found anywhere in the
world, and they will be drawn from
the herds of the Southwest.
"As to the convention" said Judge
Nelson, '1 look for a great attend
ance. For the past three years there
has been al average of 5000 people
at the convention at Amarillo 1t
should be much larger at Roswell, for
place and to a place which the mem
bers and their families would natu-
rally want to visit. They will come,
too, if the T. P. gives the rate it has
partly promised. The association now
has 800 members. 1t is understood
that enough applications for member
ship will be received at the Roswell
meeting to bring the total up to
1,500. That does not include the La
dies"
Judge Nelson was accompanied
here by w. P. Anderson, of Lake
wood who, as live stock agent for
the Santa Fe, is interested In the cat
tie convention. He reports that the
country will send a fea-
ture to the Roswell convention that
could not be secured elsewhere in
the world. 1t will be delegation of
100 cowboys, dressed in the native
garb and mounted All will bring their
ponies, and G. M. Slaughter, W. NJ.
Atkinson and others have promised
entertainment for the horses during
the convention. These 100 COWBOYS,
right off the range, will be a show
worth coming to sea. Mr. Anderson
says they will hold a tournament for
fancy riding, instead of the usual rop-
ing contests. This tournament will be
carried on according to the ideas OF
the old time riders as described in
Scott's 'Ivanhoe." Riding with lances
and catching rings will be one OF the
contests. Levi Joy, wao is said to
challenge the world in this kind of
riding, will be here to enter the lists.
Another feature will be a revival
of the expert rife craftsmanship con-
test. Several contestants of world
wide fame will be in attendance. One
of these will be A. H. Bogardus. Jr.,
Of Springfield, Ill. However, he will
have worthy opponent in the per-
son of a local product. Homer Wilder,
Of Lakewood, will be put up against
the hest

FURS WORTH FORTUNES

The beautiful Russian sable still easily holos lts
own as a hgh-prced fur, despite the 1act That
there are so many very similar skins, that' az
ter a course of treatment by an expert, are dit-
fcult to distinguish IRON the genuine fur. Two
hundred and fifty dollars, however, is no uncom-
mon price for a Russian sable.
The prices paid for sable coats and garments
of the best quality are often fabulous, many a
society lady walking about with vertable for
tune on her back, In fact, next to diamonds and
precious stones valuable furs are the most ex-
pensiye luxury in which one can indulge, wealthy
ladies often owing collections valued at fifty thou
sand dollars
KEPT IN BEST CONDITION
During the summer months these valuable furs
are generally kept in chilled storehouses, specially
contrived for the purpose and are handled and
guarded as carefully as if they We're actually
the bank notes the value of which they repre-
sent.
The value of fur relies almost as much in
the preparing as in the actual quality OF the
fur itself.
The largest and the smallest marketable skins
are the now fast disappearing, American buffalo
and that of an ordinary mole. Neither of these,
however, can be Classed high-priced furs.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-01-20

an amount that would have suffced to cover the
entire skin with golden sovereigns
Like the majority of furs, the value of the
silver fox skins varies considerably in accordance
with the time of the year in which the animals
are caught.
MOST EXPENSIVE FUR IN THE WORLD
The silver fox is not so rare an animal as one
might at first suppose from the enormous prices
at which good skins change hands 1t is not the
scarcity, but the individual quality of skin that
determines its value, The ideal silver fox fur
must be jet black, very close and of remark
ably soft and silky texture, with just the tips of
the hairs beautiful silvery white. Such a skin
dressed and mounted could be readily disposed
of for six hundred guineas, though only large
enough to form a single muff or neeklet.
Next to silver fox in point OF view for single
skins come those of the great otters, caught
principally in the China and japanese Seas.
The average length is about five OF six feet,
the fur being lovely shade of brown, and of a
length and texture akin to fine sealskin; $500
is no uncommon price for one of these skins. Iu
order that the skin may be damaged as little as
possible, curious method OF removing it from
the animal is adopted.

DANGER OF THE CoNFIDANT.

That's easy. These confdants are just as
liable to make trouble before marriage as after
You see, the girl, just after spat with Jack
rushes around to tell her chum all about it, and
the chum's excessive sympathy has the effect of
making her consider herself very much i'll used
and the more she talks it over the more con
vinced she becomes that she won't stand for it
and there you are, loves young dream proceeds
to go up in smoke
They can cause lots more trouble, though af-
ter marriage said the girl behind the counter
"A woman has no business to tell ANYBODY the
little things that go on at home between her and
her husband, to talk over his shortcomings
with her chum, because by the time what sre
said gets back to her, his shortcomings will have
become vices of the very blackest description.
Once woman is married, she owes it to her hus.
bands dignity well her own to keep her
home a closed circle, into which only two people
may enter"
'|Not only that" the floor walker continued
"but half of these socalled friends are only seek
ers for news. They will get al, they possibly
can out of a woman and all the time they viii
be privately laughing at her for being such
fool"
"Of course they will" agreed the girl behind
the counter. "And matter what her hus.
band may do or say, it is wise woman that
keeps everything to herself. She made her
choice and it is up to her to stick to it. If she
doesn't"
The expression on the floor walkers face sud.
denly interrupted her. "Great Scott" he cried
"There's the manager, and you are talking!"
That's all right" she said composedly "Here
sign this, will you, please? I've had a perfectly
awful time this morning with that woman-de,
clared the ribbon was damaged when there wasn't
a single thing the matter with it-not thing
mind you-and insisted should exchange Il
and then, after that, decided she wanted her
money back-please put your name here" She
stopped to get her breath.
'ifhat's all right" the floor walker laughed
Hes gone now. And, say, you're all right"
"Oh, indeed! Then you'll acknowledge, will
you, that garrulous woman is sometimes very
present help in time of trouble?"
"There! You can trust woman every time
for getting in the last word"
Los Angeles herald., 1907-01-20

The creatures, being long and thin, with short
legs, instead of sllinning in the ordinary way, an
incision is made from thigh to thigh on the
under side of the animal, and the carcass with
drawn by turning the skin inside out. Thus
the skin sent to market resembles long bag.
This can readily be dressed and turned so that
the fur is again outside, when required The
absolute necessity of making as few cuts as pos
sbe in any valuable skin is obvious, as cut
might practically ruin it for some particular pur-
pose.
CUTTING UP COSTLY SKINS
For cutting up valuable furs only most excep-
tonallyskilled workmen can be employed as
slip OF the knife may mean hundreds of dollars
off the value of the fur, Then, again. not frac-
tion of an inch must be cut to waste
The planning and schemng necessary to ar
range the patterns upon the skin to obtain
the best results without waste is matter that
often occupies considerable time, and calls for
great ingenuity on the part of the cutter, who is
often working upon skin every inch of which
is valuable, Consequently, he can afford to make
no mistakes There are comparatively few of
these really expert cutters, and they command
enormous salaries.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-01-20

"A EN and women of all ages and all ma
M tions have ever been partial to unique
&~A and beautiful furs as articles of pei
IsS19O sonal adornment
In China tins craze for costly furs is
so pronounced that the well-to-do Chnaman in
variably prides himself immensely upon the value
and beauty of his stock of furs, so much so, in
fact, that fine furs are handed down from one
generation to another as treasured herlooms 1t
is no uncommon thing in China for fur garments
to have been in the same family for hundreds of
years.
UBIQUITOUS MOTH
Skins are practically imperishabe, provided
they are properly cured in the first instance and
kept free from their natural enemy, the ubiquit.
GUS moth China is, and always has been, one of
the best markets for unique and rare furs.
To the unintiated, the value of many skins
seems out of all proportion to the slight SUI
periority in color or texture that distinguishes
them from furs taken from identieally the same
class of animal.
OF all costly furs the silver fox is the animal
whose skin commands the highest price, though
these skins are so small, being no larger than
those of an ordinary fox. "A single skin has been
sold, unmounted, at many hundreds of dollars
