who leaped from his bed. intending to tell
her IT was all a joke, but she already had
rushed out Of the door and into the adjoin-

Pepoon pursued her, and both might have
been running yet had not their wild flight
been suddenly halted by a big black bear
rushing furiously az them from the oppo-
site direction.
The Pepoons whirled instantly and rushed
for their dwelling, the bear stil after them
and gaining in the run.
Just as they Reared the clearing they no
ticed that their house was on fire, prob

In order to escape the bear both jumped

There will be no more cheap beef.
Cheap range is a thing of the past.
Cheap cattle and cheap beef must go
with the cheap land" Colonel Ike T,
Pryor, president Of the Cattle Raisers
Association of Texas. says the people
OF America must face the foregoing
situation. The high price Of beer is
not temporary thing. II is the re-
suit OF the cutting up of the cattle
ranges into farms. The consumer OF
meat must pay big prices for beef as
penalty for the breaking of the prai-
rie and the settling Of the new coun-
try.
Colonel Pryor lives in San Antonio.
Texas, but controls a commission com
pany at the Kansas City stockyards,
aud spends some Of his time here each
year.
He has been president of the Cattle
Raisers' association three years. The
organization is composed of 2500 cat.
tlemen in Texas Oklahoma and New
Mexico. The members control 5,000,-
600 head of cattle.
THE number of cattle In Texas is
decreasing temporarily" Colonel Pry.
or said. "The big ranches are clt ur
farms have been improved the farmers
will raise more cattle in the same ter
ritory than the ranchmen raised, but
they will be more expensive to raise
and TiGst bring higher prices than the
range cattle.
Texas Killed 25o,ooo Calves in 1907.
'On a big ranch a section of land
will take care Of thirty or forty head
of cattle. When that land is turned
into a farm it will take care of at
least twice as many besides growing
some other farm products. But the
farmer cannot afford to sell his steer
for the old price Of grass fed cattle
and prices must be such that he can
sell at a profit
The best evidence of how the cat
tie supply in Texas is cut down is the
fact that last year more than 250,000
calves were sold for slaughter at the
Fort Worth stockyards. Beautiful,
white face heifer calves were slaugh-
tered by the thousands and the car
casses shipped east with the hides on.
If there had been plenty of range
those calves would have been saved to
grow up.

THE GRAND ARMY
MEETING At TOLEDO
A Monument viii Be Dedicated
on the Site of Fort
MeigS,

TOLEDO, @, Aug. 20.-One week
hence the veterans of the Grand Army
of the Republic VII be trooping IN
Toledo for their annual national en-
campment. The opinion is expressed
that the encampment this year will
be the most significant, the most in
teresting and one of the best attended
reunions ever he'd blythe veterans of
the Civil War. And SO indeed it will
be if the present plans, now nearing
completion, are carried out in detail
The whole city will be handsomely
dressed for the occasion. Flags and
bunting will cover the building fronts
along Summit, Huron, Erie and other
leading streets. The many handsome
public buildings for which Toledo is
noted will be arIisticaliy decorated and
at night they will be ablaZe with hun
dreds of electric lights At prominent
street intersections several handsome
arches are being erected.
One CT the notable events in con-
necJion with the encampment will be
the dedication of the monument on
the site of Fort Meigs, few miles
from the city. The Ohio National
Guard will join with the veterans in
the ceremonies incident to the dedica-
ton. Governors Swanson of Virginia,
Haniy of Indiana, Warner of Michigan,
Wilson of Kentucky and Harris OF
Ohio have accepted invitations TO
attend the event.
The parade, which is the big specific
ular event of the annual encampments,

The executive committee has received
returns indicating that $4,000 veterans
will take part. The department OF
Illinois will lead the march and the

HALF Of THE
CUTOFF OPEN

NogaIeS Cananea Branch of
the C. R. Y. R. and P. Opened
August 1864 KilometerS
to Gorilla, Sonora. 3
&IS

TUCSON, AHx. 20.-The first han,
IN fact the 3onger half slightly, of the
Negafss-Cananea cutoff, one OF the
most important projects of the Harri-
man lines in Mexico, was opened to
transportation and traffic formally
Sunday the 18th Of this month There
were no elaborate ceremonies in con
nectiOn with the affair, but a number
of Mexican officials and railroad dig
nitaIies were on hand
The present terminus Of the road,
as it is in operation, is Gorilla. a small
town which is "a kiIometers from No
gales. There yet remains to be built
so kiIometeTs or a fraction less than
half before the cutoff is finally COM
pleUed and the long desired direct
route from Nogales to Cananea is an
; actual fact.
The work on the last 60 kilomeaers
is being pushed, with large force OF
men at work and labor almost con-
tinuous- If nothing untoward inter
yenes it is thought that the entire line
will be ready for operation by the
| first Of January. If the same route o.
speed is maintained on the stretch yet
! unbuilt as on that finished, that date
may be beaten . little.
However, there yet remains a meth
Cd Of direct access from the hills OF
Sonora to the great mining camp.
Passengers on the daily trains from
Nogales to Cananea, when they reaem
the terminus at Gorilla, find there a
stage which makes the trip daily
| across the 60 meters of country.
While this is slower as a method u
| travel still the stage line is doing d
| big business, and already the greater
percentage of the trade is adopting
| the cut-off route.
The building of this short line of
the Cananea, Yaqui River and Pacific
is one of the most important, though
by no means difficult, enterprises that
the Randolph lines have undertaken.
For years the only access Sonora has
had to CaDanea has been by way of
| the long trip to Benson and thence
back by way of Naco. Tais nas been
| a long. tedious and expensive trip
: and has retarded the growth of much

connections with Cananea.
1t will mean the making of many OF
the smaller towns along the border
as they win become shipping ana dis
tributing points for the trade of Cana
Hea and the contiguous territory No
gales in particular win profit by it, as
thousands Of dollars worth of bust
ness will pass through that point
which bad railroad facilities had acre

cut up, not many have disappeared en-
tirely. Take ranch of 100000 acres,
for instance. The owner sells O.0O0
acres to a speeulator, who, In turn,
cuts the tract up and sells it 10 farm
ers in small tracts. Then he sells an
other 10000 acres to some one else.
The result Is that he still has a rancn
and OF course a corresponding reduc-
ton of range cattle must follow.
The Evolution Of the Cattle Country.
The first ranches cut up were those
where the ranchmen owned the alter
nate sections. The state owned the
other section and when the lease ex-
pired the state sold the land and there
was nothing for the ranchman to do
but sell his alternate section. The c
9. Slaughter ranches have been cut up
as much as any. The Capitol Syndl-
cate ranch has been cut in two by the
sale Of its lands to farmers. You will
remember that the state capitol was
built by syndicate that received g.
100000 acres of land for erecting it,
More than half of that land has been
sold for farms and small ranches.
Many wonderful changes have been
made. ] am yet a young man, but I

settlers house between the Arkansas
river and the Platte. First, we crossed

Now when Texas man wants to send
cattle to Montana he sends them by
rail.
A Herd of Buffaloes Stopped Them.
Once when we intended to cross
the Arkansas about Dodge City, a
herd of buffaloes turned us from our
course and we had to cross at Great
Bend. | will not tell you the story for
publication, because the younger gen.
Grafton will not believe there were
ever so many buffaloes in the world
Texas will be a greater cattle state
than ever after it is cut up into farms,
but for few years it will not show so
large an output of cattle The farm
ers will start raising grain. They will
get around to raising cattle when their
farms are improved, and some day
Texas will ship more farm cattle tnan
IL ever did ranch cattle.
But the cattle will bring better
prices on the hOof, and of course the
beef will cost more to the consumer" 4"
