HIDES AND HORNS.

past lew dayS to the effect that the railways are preparing to refund $150,000 to livestock shippers un- der the decision of the interstate commerce commission in the fa- nous Chicago terminal case, has caused profound satisfaction among the cattlemen of the entire coun- try. It is regarded among the cat tlemen and livestock shippers as a complete backdown on the part of the offending railways, and indica- tive of their desire to drop the ter minal charge of $200 like a hot potato.
 International-American A pros pector, while in Douglas the other day from the Chiricahuas, reported that numerous packs of timber wolves in the foothills are killing off many yearlings. They have become so numerous and their in- cursions on the range so destruc- tive that plans are being made to destroy them. He was told there was a bounty of $20 a head, and upon finding this out delared he would go back to the hills and trap some of the animals. According to this prospector fully twenty-five yearlings have been killed by the wolves in the past few weeks in one section.
 Fort Worth Telegram: The cat tie industry is growing lesser in the Panhandle and in the Texas plains country. A Telegram re- porter during the past few weeks made an extensive trip through the plains country, visiting nearly every town upon the plains, and travelling 485 miles, without once seeing a train. Everywhere the story of the ranchmen was the same. The settlers, the home seekers, the farmers, are coming in and cattle are going out. The ranchmen, anticipating that early day when their ranches will be cut up into farms, are selling off their cows. They are disposing of their yearling steers and their calves. Their heifers for the past season or two have been subjected to the spaying knife.
 Range News: The cattlemen of Texas and the southwest are ex. pecting high prices for all classes of stuff this year, and some of them are going so far as to predict $450 per hundred for good Texas grass stuff off the range before the first of June. There Is more optimism than usual apparent in cattle circles at this time, and 1t all ap- pear largely predicated on the al- legged scarcity of cattle. Men who expect to buy cattle in the spring are insisting that there will be just as many horns and hoofs in evid- ence this year as usual, but such talk is not heard among the live stock producers of the country. They are practically a unit in de- claring that the country was never up against such shortage in all classes of cattle as that which is now in existence, and conditions throughout the range country ap- pear to very largely substantiate these claims.
