BIG PANHANDLE RANCHES
ARE PASSING AWAY.

Owing to the rapid settlement of
Western Texas, and especially in the
Panhandle Country, the big ranches
are being divided and sold off into
smaller farms. Speaking OF this the
Texas Stockman Journal says:
The big ranches of West Texas are
becoming landmarks of history. 1t
does not require an abnormal imagi-
nation to see this . Each year they
are passing and each succeeding II
months period marks a quickening of
their transition. This process has
now. but it has only been during the
past two or three years tina the dis
-memberment Of the big cow-ranches
has become distinctly noticeable to the
outside world. Soon they will be pie
asant memories" fit subjects for the
budding imagination of the hopeful
novelist.
The Initiation of the passing process
an example of it at least could
probably be found In the dismember-
ment- the cutting into small farms
of the X l T ranch southwest of mere.
and one OF the largest OF Texas, as it
were. This ranch, 100000 acres of
land in area. was owned by Chicago
It almost covered northwest
Texas, stretching over inc well down
or the Great Plains. Ten years ago
It could probably have been purchased

ALCOHOL AND ETHER
FROM THE CACTUS.

Ell Paso, Tex, June 21.-Within six
months there will be completed and
in operation in Ell Paso a plant for
the extraction of alcohol, ether and
fiber from all forms of cactus plant.
The concern will be known as the
FL Paso Chemical and Fiber works
and will have a capital stock of $780,
local men.
OF the capital stock one-half has
already been paid n work on the
construction of the plant will be start
ed within so days. The plant will
of necessity be an adobe building,
this material being chosen that eel
tain temperatures may be maintained
in the building.
The capacity will be 20 tons per
day, which means that from all over
the country for hundreds of miles in
every direction from FL Paso hun
dreds will find constant and profitable
employment in gathering the many
and varied forms of the cactus tribe,
including the gigantic century plant,
Any and all forms of the plant can be
treated to good advantage and profit,
it is announced.
DIR. F. Thatcher, chemist for the
company estimates that the valuable
properties produced will represent %
per cent of the raw material treated.
First will come the extraction of al
cohol by a chemical process, then the
extraction by another process of the
ether. The third and last process is
that of separating from the whole
that portion that can be made into fl
Der. The alcohol will be denatured
alcohol, therefore disable for fuel.
The ether will be what is known as
commercial ether. which is used for
many purposes such as the com,
pounding of medicines. The ether
used by surgeons III making opera
tons is refined from the commercial
ether.
1t is said that this will be the first
plant of the kind in the United States
In Mexico some forms of the cactus
are treated by primitive means and
alcoholic drinks secured, such as the
~tequila.

FARMERS UNION COTTON WAREHOUSE
COMPANY CANNOT LONGER
SUPPORT CAMPAIGN.
STATEMENT BY CALVIN
General hsssser of The Warehouse Com
psny CoafirrS Report that funds
Are No Longer Available.


4. Calvin, former president of the
Farmers Union, and at present gen
eral manager of the Farmers Union
sued an official notice to the effect
that the company will not loan any
more money on cotton for the pres
ent, and this is taken to mean that
cotton will soon begin to move. AS
the market is supplied it is expected
that the 15-cent mark can not be at
tanned.
This is a result that has been an
ticipated for weeks. and has created
little surprise in the minds of those
who have familiarized themselves
with the situation.
The report that such notice had
been issued came from Dallas Tues
day morning and was confirmed by
pany in this city.
1t is stated that the apparent
stringency in the money market has
been responsible for the action on
the part of the company. and, while
it is claimed that it does not neces-
sarily mean that the farmers Will
stop the storing of their product, II
is conceded that the farmers Will not
feel disposed to hold their cotton un-
less they can at the same time pro-
cure an advance OF a portion OF It's
value.
There are approximately 20
warehouses in Texas, and it is esti-
mated that the amount OF cotton
stored away for the purpose OF hold
ing for The maximum price agreed
upon al the convention held recent
rs i'm Little Rock will aggregate
more than 100000 bales. although
