Writing a. a Fine Art.

In a letter written by the late Lafca-
dio Hearn to his friend the musical
critic, H. E. Krehbiel, the author says:
"Let me dwell upon an art principle.
Both you and Lave trade-journal-
ism. We have also an art-authorship.
The same system of labor cannot be
applied to the one as to the other with.
out unfortunate results. Let the trade
be performed as mechanically as is
consistent with preservation of ones
reputation as IL good workman. But
when it comes to writing durable
thing-a book or brocLure-every line
ought to be written at least twice, If
possible. three times. In the very act
of copying new ideas of grace, force
and harmony will make themselves
manifest. Without this. will venture
to say, fine literary execution is inn
possible"

MORE FUNDS NEEDED.

The capitol commission at it's meet
ing yesterday decided to ask the legis-
lature for sufficient appropriation
to change the interior fittings of the
new capitol, from imitation marble
to the real thing, and to change stair
Dalustrades from iron to marble, the
changes causing an increase Of APP
proximately twenty thousand dollars
from the original figures. The com
mission estimate of the amount need
ed for the changes decided upon for
furnishings for the building, and for
the parking Of the grounds will be
about two hundred thousand dollars,
and the question for the coming ses-
sion to solve is to decide whether
they want the work done at once, or
dragged along through many sessions,
and also the best manner of raising
the funds to push the work along.
The proposition to bond the state
would be the most feasible one, had
not the constitution makers limited
the bonded debt Of the state to $780,
600, and it could not be done within
that sum.

remarkable fact that the republican
majority OH joint ballot in the next
state legislature probably will be 20
or more votes larger than. in the last

republicans, II democrats and three
independents, making the republican

The membership of the House was
increased for the next session from ss
to 1o4. The assembly which meets
next January, allowing the democrats
three doubtful seats, will be made up
up OF 131 republicans and IS demo-

RANGE CONDITIONS ARE GOOD.

The autumn season, just closing.
has been favorable for the curing of
the range grasses, that are the main
dependence for winter feed for the
range stock. This assures feed sup
ply on the ground, when not covered
by snow. Early frosts or a green
grass season up to the freezing period
are alike damaging to the quality of
the winter pasture on the range. The
prevailing dry weather through the
early autumn ripened the grasses, Pc
culiarly suited for winter feed, and
the later moisture is just the condition
desired on the range for going into
winter.
Cattle and horses are reported in ex-
cellent condition over the greater por-
tion of the range country. Hay has
been literally supplied for winter use,
when occasion demands. The uncer-
tainity of a mild or a severe winter is
always before the range stock man,
and IS one of the perpleNities of the
business that is never fully solved UNI
til the sunshine and shower Of spring
introduces the green grass season,
The open range is getting less in ex-
tent each year. This is true of prac-
tically all states having government
lands. The tendency of settlement is
toward better care Of the stock during
the winter season. This will be fol-
lowed by diminished death loss III
these range districts. In many locali-
ties diminished stock population is
believed to result, until such time as
the encroaching settlers have time to
increase their herds and flocks from
the small beginning that many are
starting with.
The fact that many large cattle OUT
fits are disbanding, going out of the
business as rapidly as they can dispose
of their cattle to advantage, gives rise
to the impression that this will intlu-
ence the scarcity of cattle on the range,
and toward higher prices for beef cat
tie next year, as a result. 1t certain
ly will tend toward diminishing of
the producing stock, and this means a
lessening OF production, which must
sooner or later be felt in the markets
of the country. The advantage of the
homesteader and new settler us a pro-
ducer of cattle to take the place Of the
big herds is not yet verified from those
districts and cannot reasonably be ex-
pected to step in and close up the
breach at once caused by this change
of occupancy of the public lands. 1t
will naturally require few years for
these changed conditions to adjust
themselves to surplus production of
cattle, such as has prevailed over the
open range country.

LAND CHANGING HANDS.

L r. y u II
From the amount of land that is
changing hands here, it would look
as ii the whole country would be set
tied up by farmers from states to the
east in a very short time. They are
coming i'll on every train, and teams 3
and automobiles in town are kent
busy showing the newcomers over
this beautiful country The home-
seekers one and all are delighted with
What they see and many Of them are
buying and getting ready to move
here. They know, as soon as they
see what we have, that there is no
place in the United States that has
better present good times and future
bright prospects, than are here and
IN sight, Splendid crops on every
hand, line herds Of high grade cattle,
the best land to. be found anywhere
and pure drinking waterat thirty-five
feet, together with a delightful cli-
mate, make this ideal farming district
and place i'll which to live.
Here the farmer makes money work
ing his farm, and with the increase in
value, that is coming all the time, he
soon is independently wealthy.
