You Practically Double Your
Money in a Single Day

The very day you get your deed to
one of these farms, you have practi-
cally doubled your money. for you
would be foolish to part with it for
twice what it cost you. AS sure as the
sun shines, this land is going up-up-
up--until it reaches the same range OF
values that obtain in the Middle States.
The climate is ideal, water is abund-
ant at depth of 10 to go feet, and the
growing season is months longer than
in your own state. Come with the
next great excursion, June 16, on the
Soash Special Pullman Train, and see
the wonders of this Texas Paradise!

CATTLE STRONG TODAY
Prices Advanced Without Much
Effort OH the Part of
Sellers
LOG PRICES TEN HIGHER
Receipts Were Liberal Today, But
There Was Good Demand From
Shippers and Packers, and the Mar
ket Was strons-DulIness in Sheep,
But Market Was Steady.

Chicago, June 11.-Cattle were strong
and mostly 10 cents higher. Receipts
were light, with but few classy steers,
but prices moved up without much ef-
fort on the part of sellers.
The healthy tone in general trade I'M
der the recent big increase in the runs
well indicates buyers urgent needs for
normal supplies this week, but next
week the traders say things may be
different, and cautious marketing is
advised. When the flood subsidies at
Kansas City killers will again get nor
NAL supplies there With Chicago prac-
tically the only point at present where
fat steers are available 1t was only
natural that this market for good kinds
should be stronger and higher, but in
putting a fairly good supply OF beef
in coolers the killers should be in
good shape to force a weaker price
range next week, say traders, particu-
larly for the grassy kinds, should NIB
eral supplies arrive.
Hogs.
Hogs were strong and 10 cents high
err. While receipts were liberal, this
did not check the advancing tendency,
as demand from shippers and packers
was good.
Recent heavy receipts. while suffic-
lent to drag prices somewhat, have
shown the consumptive power of the
market. for nearly everything has been
taken. Milwaukee and other markets
have been in the pit bidding for stuff
A generally good quality has been the
rule, but the light and common mixed
have been in pretty heavy array and
there has not been much demand for
those kinds.
Sheep.
Sheep were steady and dull.
It's a spotty market for sheep with
trade uneven. Demand has been best
for high dressers. 1t is claimed that
some packers have had good orders
which they have had to keep open be-
cause of lack Of the kind with which
to fill. 1t is believed that moderate
receipts the balance of the week will
permit coolers to get cleaned out.
While demand for eastern account Is
better than late last week
1t is hardly to be called in good shape.

Why We are Selling Land At
at a Sacrifice Price

Thus you see that in selling you one
of these valuable farms at an extraor-
dinarily low price, we are looking to the
future when the immense increase in
prices of Running Water Ranch land
will act as a leverage to raise the value
of our outside holdings enormously.
We can afford to sacrifice Running
Water Ranch for the effect its rapid
settlement and development will have
on our vast outside interests. YOU,
and YOU ALONE, get all the benefit
of the rapidly enhanced value of Rum
ming Water Ranch land. And the ex-
traordinary richness and productions
of this land will make you independ-
emily wealthy in few short years. One
good crop will more than pay for the
land

600 acres of Alfalfa growines-produc-
ing revenue as high as $50 to $50 per
acre. Wheat yields as mach as 40

in great abundance Land of equal
productiveness in Indiana, Illinois or

Russian Book Indicted.

Even in Russia it does not often
happen that a charge is brought
against book and not against the au-
thor or publishers thereof. Yet case
of this kind was brought before the
Warsaw courts the other day, says the
Pail Mall Gazette.
The charge was laid against work
by certain Gustaye Baumfield as be-
ing of nature likely to arouse its
readers to revolutionary actions" The
dock was perfectly empty and evidence
was given by the police who had con-
fiscated the book. The verdict was
pronounced against the book and
amounted to an order that it should be
burned.
The explanation of this peculiar In
cdent Is that the book in question was
discovered by the police while still In
the printers hands and that as it had
Tot yet been published was held re-
sponsible for its revolutionary tenden-
cies. All the blame was laid on the
book, of which every sheet has now
been destroyed.

grows, densely luxuriant, unirrigated,
rye, speltz, and particularly wheat, will
grow, if the simple methods of cultiva-
ton, now no longer experimental but
proven, are employed. These gray
green sage brush uplands are to be the
grain fields of the near future.
Montana has an abundance of coal,
from Ignite to the best steam fuel
known. 1t is doubtful whether any
other section of the United States is
more plentifully supplied with coal
which can be so easily developed and
utilized by the settler, as eastern Mon
tana. At the first crossing of the yell
lowstone, there is, in plain view of the
approach, black band along the bluff
to tie north two or three miles in
length, ten to twenty feet thick, of
solid Ignite coal of the finest quality.
Never again will Uncle Sam offer such
princely domains for the entryman's
choice. Throughout this entire coun-
try the government surveys will soon
be practically complete, and before the
end OF the year the claim shanty will
be everywhere in evidence.

Happiness from Troubles,

Being human, happily or unhappily,
we cannot deny the comfort to be
found in the reflection that misery
never lacks the company it loves. We
all have our troubles, and some of us
derive much satisfaction from the con-
temptation of them. Indeed, there are
those who are happy only when
wretched, but these we believe to be as
few in number as they are disagreeable
in association The vast majority of
humans are normal and disposed, there
fore, i'll conformity with natural law
to smile when the skies are dear and
to grieve under the portent of clouds !;
hence the ease with which worry takes
possession of the mind colors the dis
position and makes a cripple of effort
That causes abound we know and
must admit, as we do almost uncon-
sciously the certainty of death, but
too little cognizance is taken of the
fact that the effect of mere apprehen-
sion, which is all that worry really is,
may be subjected to simple mental
treatment and be overcOme.-George
Harvey, in North American Review.

To the extension of the Chicago. Mil

Gus feeders in these States, perhaps
more than to any other factor, did this
movement owe its existence. 1t drew
to this prairie country not only farmers
but thousands of men and women from

and made possible their successful oc-
cupation and upbuilding of these vast
commOnwealths as we see them to-day.
The record of the Chicago, Milwau-
kee and st. Paul Railway, in building
its Pacific Coast extension, has never
been equaled in the matter of time by
any similar undertaking. Track has
been laid at the rate of five miles per
day, and trains over the new trans
continental line will soon be operated
from Chicago to Butte, Mont, and to
Seattle and Tacoma, Wash, in about

WHISTLER AND MONEY.

The Eccentric Artists Utter Lack
of Business Instinct.
The Dundee Advertiser tells story
illustrating Whistler's forgetfulness
and utter lack of business instinct.
Being hard pressed for a debt and hav-
ing finally been informed he would be
sued unless a check for the amount
was sent by return post, the artist
mentioned the matter to one of his
friends who lived near Kim. Explain
ing that he had few pounds in the
bank, the, exact sum unknown, he re-
quested his friend to stop at the bank
on the way to business to ascertain
what was required to make his &C
count good for a check of slightly over
500 and to deposit that amount for him
as a loan.
The friend was quite willing and in
due time stood at the cashiers desk
of Whistler's bank asking. the amount
of his balance and explaining the err
rand. The cashier was interested. H.
went 10 the big book of balances, turn
ed over a few pages, wrote down some
figures and in moment placed them
before the astonished friend. Wits.
tiers balance was more than $4,000.
The artist was delighted, but found
it difficult to remember when he had
deposited so much money or where he
had got ii.
