grass growing where there is
now nothing but bushes and a rough and
very inferior kind of grass, which serve
very well for early pasture, but is of
little worth for hay My mind cannot
imagine a more beautiful sight than
could be obtained from the highest
grounds of the Hooppole Ridge, which
commanded a view of the valley be-
tween that and the great Backbone-a
distance of from to miles.
at was a grand sight to watch the
tall grass. rolling in beautiful wave
with every breeze which passed over
its smooth surface, as we'll as the herds
of deer, slipping and playing with each
other. 1t was not a strange thing to
see a great lubberly looking bear fore
ing his way through the grass, when
every deer which got a sight or scent
of him would bound off, with tail erect,
toward the nearest thicket. Sometimes
a wolf could be seen prowling among
the high grass, endeavoring to sneak on
a fawn, or, if possible, even on a grown
deer
Il used to think the months Of April,
May and June were the best for visit to
these natural and beautiful meadows,
as during those months there was not
such high growth of grass as would
hide the the turkeys from the traveller.
From 50 to 100 young turkeys in one
large glade of perhaps 100 or more acres
and in every sort of action was sight
pleasant to the eye Of the beholder.
MEN of other States, but first those
of Virginia, becoming acquainted with
our glades. were so much delighted
with these unbounded pasture lands
that they prevailed on some of the set
tiers to herd large quantities of cattle
in them, for which they paid from 50 to
IS cents a head. This being soon dis
covered by Pennsylvania, they followed
the example of Virginia, and from April
to September they crowded the glades
with hundreds and thousands of cattle,
eating, tramping and running over
every place in the glade country.
Meantime the herders were at all
times in the glades, calling to and
whooping at the cattle, besides shoot
ing at the deer and other game, until
the animals became alarmed, and all
the best of those that were not sucking
fawns abandoned the glades and hid in
the mountains, when the deer, owing to
this constant slaughter, became scarce.
Those herders would bleat like a fawn,
and when the distressed mother would
come they would shoot her down and
leave the poor little fawn to starve.
This cruel practice was carried on
until the neighboring settlers became so
much annoyed at it that they petitiDned
the Legislature to pass some law or
laws for their relief.
But, unhapplly. no law was ever IN
acted which could prevent the practice,
and the people, seeing themselves still
imposed on and laws made for their
benefit and relief entirely disregarded,
rose and went to the glades in the night
and there attacked and shot numbers of
the cattle, and no doubt they would
have shot the herders also had they at
tempted to rescue their focks.
This, in a great measure, put a stop
for some years to the herding Of foreign
cattle, but not until the game was seri-
ously thinned by these and other means

President James M. Lynch Of the

came to Omaha last Sunday for the
purpose 'of looking over the local sit

printing industry as being satisfac-
tory. The disturbance of business has
had some effect on the affairs of the
craft. but Mr.. Lynch is hopeful that
the early resumption of activity in
other lines will have the effect of re-
viving the printing trade. AS to the
eight-hour day, he says it is firmly
established, 95 per cent of the work of
the craft now being done on that
basis. In the towns where the eight
hour day is not yet fully recognized
by the employers, the fight will be
pushed with persistence. Omaha is

Gas Franchise Carries.

The gas ordinance passed
yesterday by {, very substantial
majority, which was greater
than had teea anticipated. The
voters in the respective wards
turned out fairly we'll as a COM
parison between the vote of
yesterday and at the election of
1906, will show. In the first
ward yesterday 139 ballots were
cast for the ordinance and 10
against; second ward, LA for
and 10 against; and third ward
2O5 for and q against-total
488 for and AZ against. In the
election of 1906, the vote for
Cummins, governor. was as
follows: First ward 200; sec
ond ward 1914, and third ward
284.
The citizens have now shown
a disposition to favor the erec-
ton of a gas plant in this city
and it the company just favor
ed does not do its part, of
course the matter will fail.
There is no thought but that
they will begin work in the
near future, and it would seem
that a statement to this effect
would quiet many rurnors afloat
that they do not intend to use
the franchise, but merely tack
ed it on to get an extension of
the light and heat franchises.
There is only one way to at
tract capital to Missouri Valley
