A number Of conditions have COM
bfned to drive the cowboy from the
land of his adoption. The hunger for
land has been and is unsatisfied. But
last year the government offered to the
people more than 1000, 900 acres of land
taken from the Indians. This was
scarcely a taste for those who were
willing to undergo practically any pri-
walton or hardship to secure quarter
section as a home. Immense immigra-
tion to the northwest added its part.
Then came Investigations along the
line of dry farming, and everywhere
the soil responded literally to scien-
tific cultivation. And, finally, all of
these things combined made noise
like business for railroads, and the ear
Of James j. Hill heard the sound. The
story of railroad construction is now in
process Of the telling.
Where did the cowboy: come from?
From the people, and back to them he
will go when the range is closed to
him, to his pony and to his gun.
Perhaps Horace Greeley should be
called the father of the cowboy, for it
was he who urged young men to go
west. Back in the old home along
the quiet banks Of the Mississippi, the
call of the west rang clear to the
young man who was a little wild"

many Of the riders from the cattle

which will soon be but a memory.

comfortable what would otherwise be
an extremely uncomfortable period. -
1t is in the trail Of the roundups that
the new sort of cowgirl shines. The
new cowgirl has brought to the ranch
a bill of fare much better than that on
which the cowboys of the past have
lived. Fat bacon, canned corn, mo-
lasses, heavy bread-that was their
usual UNMARRIED bill of fare. The woman
in camp has changed this diet to light
biscuits, steaks with corn fritters and
other delicacies to break the monotony.
Linked incomparably with the life
history of the cowboy is the story OF
the pony express rider who dared the
plains with Uncle Sans mail, and the
stage driver who penetrated the inner
recesses of remote sections of the great
American desert. One. in spirit and in
purpose, each engaged in an occupation
requiring physical skill and dauntless
courage. these three classes of men
made an indelble impress upon the
civilization of all the west. In an early
day they were the first to blaze trail
In the Wilderness or cut a road through
the forest. Now, in the decadence Of
pioneering, the cowboy is the last to
leave the wreck save in isolated Sec

occupation for very few men. Less

riders remain. to tell the story of hard

TH HE day of the cowboy. lord of the
western plains, Is closing. The
cattle business has undergone. an
entire change Of methods In the
last decade. and with the new condi-
lions the great bands OF cattle have
been driven from the free range. The
conditions OF the early day range which
called the cowboy into being were met
BY men who developed typical race

Thayer Is A Puzzle
To Mr.. Dillingham;

The stories that are coming from

ham Company is behind the wholesale
purchase of land being made there by
that gentleman puzzle me no little"
declared B. F. Dillingham; this morn
ing.
THE B. F. Dillingham; Company has
not authorized Mr., Thayer nor any
one else to purchase land for us nor
to investigate the possibilities of ac-
.quiring land.
81 cannot account for the stories
coming from Manila. 1t is just pos
sible that my son Walter may be in
teresteo' in the Thayer venture in a
small way; but even that is improO-
able. Walter has his own money and
is free to go into anything he likes;
but in any matter, involving even so
small a sum as $4,000, am sure he
would consult fully with me. That
has been his practice in, the past, and
feel certain that he has not departed
from it now.
Il have two theories in regard to
Mr.. Thayer, both of which may be
wrong, however. First, have sus'
pected that he may be working as a
detective for the government and is
using this remarkable subterfuge for
the purpose of getting on the ground
floor of information regarding the
method of dealing with the so-called
Friar lands. The use of the name Of

throw off suspicion, inasmuch as we

BUSINESS STATUS
ON The MAINLAND
BOSTON AUTHORITY DECLARES
THAT CONDITIONS ARE SOUND
AND OUTLOOK SATISFACTORY.

BOSTON, May IA certain feeling
of doubt and uncertainty has pervaded
business circles the past few weeks.
1t has been brought about by the Ii
quotation that has been in progress in
the commodities and securities mar
kets. However, if one were to oisre-
gard the pessimistic sentiment long
enough to analyze conditions he would
not be long in determining that the
lower prices which have been quoted
recently for both commodities and
securities indicate a more healthful
state of affairs than has prevailed for
a long time past.
Business conditions are sound.
Prospects are bright for a still greater
volume of trade. And it is not DIM
cult to bring plenty OF proof in the
larger railway earnings, increased
bank clearances, larger retail business
and splendid crop outlook to sustain
this contention. The principal cause
contributing to the feeling of uncer-
tainty prevailing in commercial lines
is the slackening in demand for COM
modities. There has been some fall
ing off in orders for certain manu-
featured products. But this is what
should be expected in view of the high
prices which have prevailed. The
law of supply and demand regulates
prices in nearly all cases. People
have complained loudly against the
high cost of living. This complaint
has been general. II mas been indhlg-
ed by both the rich and the poor. In
stead of the feeling of pessimism there
should be general rejoicing that a
lower cost of living is now promised.
/ 1t means greater purchasing power for
the individual and greater prosperity
for all.
The most unfavorable condition at
present, one that is most dwelt upon
by those who look upon the dark side
of things, is the unfavorable trade bal
ance of this country. But with lower
prices for our foodstuffs and other
products there will be better demand
/ for our goods abroad and it will not
be long before the trade balance will
adjust itself in accordance with nor
NAL conditions.
The business pendulum which
swings from one extreme to the other
as conditions change is now coming
back to a more normal range. The
|oyerproduction Of copper, pig iron and
coke may mean some hardship for the
producers but the lower quotations re-
sulting are a blessing to consumers
! The prospect of a nine billion dollar
crop this year may bring Is lower price
per bushel for the farmers grain, but
it will give the railroads more bust
ness and the public cheaper foodstuffs.
There is no cause for worry but every
reason for rejoicing over the situa-
ton.
