CHEAP MEAT

Kansas City, Aug. 14.-Cheap beer
is thing of the past, because land
has become so valuable that there l.,
not enough range to keep meat prices
down, according to Colonel Ike
Prior. president OF the Cattle Rails
ers' Association of Texas, who is here
today.
Colonel Prior blames the fact that
the ranges are being cut up into
small farms for the rapid advance OF
beef. He says thousands OF calves
were slaughtered in Texas last year,
because there was no feeding ground
where the ranchers could run them
until they grew up.

The single stick ladder has played an important part in many of the most thrilling rescues of New York's tenement-house fires in re- cent years.
 After careful drilling the recruits are given lessons in the human chain res cue," which is the most perilous and spectacular feat the fireladdies of the metropolis have to perform, and one only pressed Into service when every other device known to them fails. For instance, a man, woman or child Is i'm prisoned in n burning structure on floor too high above the street to be reached by extension or scaling ladders Bremen ascend to the roof of the build ing and then lower one or more of their number by their heels until the first man suspended can be swung past the window where the prisoners are, pendulum fash ion, until he can grasp the wrists of one of those awaiting rescue. He swings the one rescued clear of the window and then his comrades above slowly draw him back to the roof of the building with the rescued one safe from the fiery tongues of the flames This process is repeated until the last victim is drawn up to safety.

In some way, not explained by the news stories, a projecting bolt on the cow catcher caught in his collar and dragged him 300 feet. This is Il pretty good ad. for the durability of the particular brand of collar, because if the linen had given way his death would have been certain.
 The man who owes his life to a neck tic red necktie at that-is a Ken tuckian. He is tall and stately with flow ing gray locks and a benevolent expres sion. What is more to the point he Is the exact counterpart of the sole sur viving member of family of feudists. It seems that one day he was going down the street, all unconscious of trouble, while hired assassin, lurking in the upper window of a saloon and lying in wait for his prototype, had him carefully covered with mountaineer's long rife and was only waiting to make his aim more certain before pulling the trigger. His finger had already begun to press upon 1t. when one of the conspirators whispered: AF

To successfully perform this feat only men of prodgious strength and unques- toned nerve are employed. One false catch" would result In failure, and, per haps, death for all concerned, rescuers as we'll as those waiting to be rescued. Not so many months ago at tenement house fire a young woman who had es- capped from the burning building took refuge on nearby roof. Before her plight was discovered the house on which she stood was a seething mass of flames and 1t was impossible to reach her by life lines or ladders. Five fremen, two of them recent graduates from the School for Firemen, formed a human chain after ordering the girl, by means of mega phone to stand as near to the edge Of the roof as possible. Slowly the human rope began to swing until it had ac- ouired sufficient momentum to swing the fifth or lowest man to within grasping distance of the girl. As he seized her and she swung clear of the roof on which she had been standing. she lost conscious ness and, with her dead weight added to the already heavy load, the pendulum was given another swing and the girl was landed in safety to another roof
 Meanwhile the strain on the fifth man had been so great that he lost conscious ness and dropped a distance of 95 feet into the fiery furnace raging below, and only the metal accouterments of his

They are famliarlzed with these implements used in the saving of lives, such as the life lines life nets, sealing ladders, stationary and rope. After hav- ing thoroughly grasped these details the men are given their first taste of actual work. After learning how to safely and securely adjust the scaling ladders the time Is ripe for their first ascent of this shaky structure. The height to which they are allowed to climb is Increased as their training progresses, until they finally attain those dizzy heights that the real veterans of the department climb to when In real service.
