The 7 aft Ranch
By George A. Schreiner

San Antonio, Texas, Sept. o.
Down on the beautiful Corpus Christi
Bay within easy reach of the metrop-
oils of the great Southwest, San
Antonio, where the days are warm
and make things grow, and the
nights cool to give them a resin
one of the garden spots of Texas
is located the Taft ranch. It is
princely domain one, which in. the
olden days would have~been coveted
by kings and might have cost the
head of the holder Large enough
to accommoda many . small Euro
pean principalityt within its borders,
it has a soil and climate hard to
equal, let alone .surpass. Being To-
Gated in the rainbelt along the Gulf
Of Mexico the many acres on the
ranch produce anything man wishes.

THE TEASEL.
A Queer Plant With Water Traps For
Its Insect Victims.

A Queer Plant With Water Traps For
Its Insect Victims.
Among common plants there are few
more remarkable than the teasel.
There is little doubt, says a well in
formed natural history contributor to
the London Chronicle. that the teasel
is as much flesh eating organism us
Rny spider that ever spun a web.
Moreover. its method Of securing its
victims. though quite as ingenious an
that Of the spider. is much more com:
prehensive us we'll as more etticacinus.
Not only does this extraordinary plant
capture all SPECIES Of flies and gnatS.
great or small. but caterpillars. sIugs.
wood lice and the like are all frequent
victims.
How this is brought about forms one
Of the most wonderful incidents in ma
lures fascinating story Of the year.
The spider weaves her net Of the finest
silk; the tease makes her snare out
Of dewdrops. The plant grows up
straight as church spire. throwing
out it's leaves in pairs at intervals up
the Juicy green stem. The twin leaves
unite at their base to form a deep
cup, and the leaves are so contrived
that the moisture precipitated on them
runs down into this reservoir.
A we'll developed plant will thus
catch and hold In four or FIVE Of these
water traps full half pint of liquid,
and the heat Of the sun appears to
evaporate so little Of it that the cups
will be trimming even at the close of
hot June day. The smooth, steep
leaves all lead down into these pits,
and their gradient gets sharper as the
water is approached.

former by many acres. No less than
24O, 900 acres form its vast expanses
Of rolling pasture land slightly tim
bered with mesquite and huisache.
How Charles P. Taft acquired this
immense property is very simple
though interesting story. Dave Sim
ton, a pioneer ranchman of Texas &C
quired these broad acres in the days
when land in the southwest sold for
as many cents, and more often less
than it now costs dollars. "Dave,' -
as he was known all over, had an
only daughter and she later on be-
came Mrs. Charles P. Taft. Simple
enough, is it not?
Big Investment.
For many years the ranch was of
no more value than any other range.
Then it struck Big Bills brother that
he might be able to turn the prop
erty to some account by bringing it
in touch with progress. This was
done. Today the ranch is practical
ly self-contained little domain. In
a few months it will be this in a
greater degree:' The packing plant
which has been in operation for three
years will be increased to a capacity
of $50 head of cattle per day and at
least as many hogs and sheep. The
expenditure necessary exceeds $780,
900. There is now being installed a
75-ton refrigerating and ice making
plant with access to as pure sup
ply of water as ever came to the
lips of man and an electric light and
power plant was completed some
time ago, Cotton gins, oil mills,
storage houses and the like are going
up constantly. A vast producing
and manufacturing center, enjoying
every convenience and comfort of the
city, is thus being created.
How the Ranch Is Run.
Naturally a vast number of peoplt
live on the estate, In the little town
of. Sinton live 1,50O,> at Gregory, 800.
at Taft 500, and at. Portland 400. All
of these work on the Taft ranch. In
the case of Sinton, however, this is
not altogether true for the reason
that the land in its vicinity was re-
Gently cut up into small tracts and
rented to northern farmers.
The administration of such an es-
tate is no small affair. AS mat
ter of fact the Taft ranch enjoys
of it's own. John F.
Green, the superintendent of the es-
tate, exercises in some respects the
of a county judge. He is
the man who settles all disputes and

FOUR ARTISTS TONIGHT:

Tonight at the opera house the Four
Artists will open the course provided
by the ladies Of the Fortnightly club.
This Is fine musical organization and
1t is booked for engagements in many
Of the larger cities of the state. The
course is deserving Of the support Of
all good citizens for the sake Of the
community, as we'll as their personal
enjoyment. The influence of such ELI.
tertainments tells for good on the gen.

Green's power of persuasion to con.
vince them of the fact that a man
could be somewhat feshy and still
not be a baby elephant.
Besides the hunt Mr.. Taft will
play golf on the largest link to be
found. These are located at La
Quinta and were laid out by the
Texas champion of the game, Robert
J. Connerly of Austin and Frank
Lewis of San Antonio, well known
expert with the mashie and tee. In
laying out the course the nine holes
were so arranged as to keep the
president within view from the
house, enabling his party and guests
to watch every game.
According to the present program
at least one day of the presidents
stay will be taken up by close
inspection of the property. He will
keep in touch with the affairs of the
nation by means of a telephone con-
Meeting the Taft villa with Gregory.
At the Ranch Hotel in the latter

offices.

where strenuous times await him.
He is due there on October goth.
The weather at the season Of his ar.

there is no doubt that he will enjoy

IMPORT ELECTRICITY.

designates justices of the peace, a
number of constables and about 20
deputy sheriffs. Though liquor can
be secured in the towns, intoxication
means deportation from the property
and for this reason is almost un-
known. Crime is rarely met with on
the estate. Undesirables are dealt
with in practical fashion. Superin.
tendent Green orders them to move
on and after that the Taft ranch secs
them no more.
Cotton Field Is Miles Long,.
Ground for new acres is being
cleared every day in the year. On
the Taft ranch there will be located
next year the largest cotton field
in the world. It will be q miles
long and will extend one mile on each
side, of the tracks of the San Antonio
and Arkansas Pass railroad which
traverses the estate. Corn, milo,
maize, kaffir corn, sorghum cine, COW
bean and other fields will take up
large areas. Truck will be grown in
great quantities. Nevertheless the
big pastures of the property will not
be narrowed down to any extent.
These are now divided into rs, 900 TO
10000 acre ranges and support over
$4,000 head of cattle and many
thousands of smaller animals sucn IS
sheep, goats, hogs and all sorts of
fowl. The packery now in course of
erection will be kept busy taking
care of these. The Taft property
also owns miles upon miles of beach
front and the finest fisheries along
the coast. The cold storage plant
now in construction will also all in
the development of the sea food in
dustry.
1t may be mentioned here that it
has been claimed recently that the
meat products Of the Taft packcry
are principally intended for the use
of the forces digging the Panama
Canal. This would mean the packing
and shipping of from 300 to 400 head
of cattle day, and a government
contract would be necessary. There
is no doubt, however, that Charles
P. Taft is not counting on sucn
contract. The product of his pack
cry are needed locally and can be dis
'osed of at better prices than the
government would pay.
