Austin. Tex.-Romance. not unmixed
with tragedy. might be written about
the cattle brands of Texas and the
Southwest. Around them have cen
tered many thrilling deeds. They
have been the means of bringing swift
retriDutiOn to a host OF outlaws; they
have served as the basis for transac-
lions involving the sale of many mil
lions Of head of cattle.
The records of the Texas Cattle
Raisers' association show that there
are more than 5000 registered brands
In this state. No two brands are alike.
Usually each brand represents sep
arate ranch. II Is often the case that
ranch is much better known by the
brand of its cattle than by the name
of the owner. Owners may change,
but the brand never.
When fernando Cortez conquered
Mexico In the early part Of the six
tenth century he established a ranch
upon the isthmus Of Tehauntepec The
cattle bore his brand. Although that
was nearly 400 years ago the cattle
upon that ranch today bear the orig
inal COrtez brand.
Origin Lost in History.
The origin Of the cattle brand dates
back to the dim dawn of history. In
the days Of free grass and open range
the brand was an absolute necessity In
order that the owners might identify
their cattle In the annual roundups,
With the coming Of wire fences this
necessity was largely Obviated, but the
brand served still to place guilt upon
cattle thieves. This purpose is still
served and this fact accounts largely
for the retention Of the brands by al
Of the ranchmen.
Ingenious methods are sometimes
used by cattle thieves to change exist
ing brands upon stolen stocks. Mos
of the members of the Texas Ranger
force are experts in the matter Of de
tecting the Disgusting or changing o.
brands.

These brands have come to stand fo
honesty In breeding. honesty In weigh
and honesty in dealing, just as thu
heraldry of knighthood stood for hon
or, for bravery and for noble deed
and accomplishment. Announcement
that cattle of certain brand are OF
fered for sale is often sufficient guar
antee that no precautions agains
fraud of any kind are taken.
Every Letter Is Used.
In the record of brands, every lette
of the alphabet Is represented, an
most letters are found in three c
four positions. An exception is no.
which has but one shape, in any pos
ton, and therefore can be used onl
once. True, there Is the 20" fiattene
at the sides, but 1t is then called
mashed TO-" link or goose egg.
IN" is another letter that is not s,i
ceptible of many positions, for hol

ranches there are thousands, n

Miami, Aug. 6.---Miami Is going to
have a History, $4,000, 900 hotel, the
largest hostelry this side Of Washing
ton and one of the finest hotels OF
its type in the country, this being
the latest plan of the Halcyon Hotel
corporation.
The hotel will have 800 living
rooms, all outside exposures, and all,
except the rooms along the 262-foot
rear of the building, to have eastern
exposures. On the top Of the build.
ing a spacious roof-garden will be laid
out.
The new plans of this corporation,
of which Thomas J. Peters Is the
head, were completed at 2 o'clock
yesterday morning. The purchase Of
the O'Reilly property, 75-foot front
age on eleventh street between Ave.
nues G and B, completed the land
needed for the proposed hotel, which
will be built according to specifica'
tons published previously, except
that it will be IA stories high and
the architectural treatment and fur
nishings will be of the most elaborate
According to the new plans and
specifications, the Astor, the Belmont
the Ritz-Carlton and other famous
hotels will have nothing on this new
Miami hotel which will be so large
that it will dwarf every other struc
ture heretofore erected here, say the
builders.
Theatre and Peacock Alley
The new and enlarged Halcyon no
tel will include theatre with a seat
| ing capacity of 1900, and this will be
as fine as any in the country, it Ii
stated. Plays which are seen only or
the best circuits will be staged here
When travelling shows can not be pro
cured, the hotel corporation will brinl
a high-class stock company-some
thing much "classier" than anything
that has ever played before MAN
audiences.
This hotel will sport a Peacock
Alley, too-one planned to be ever
finer than Washington's wcrld-famet
alley. The arcade system, 1t is said
will be the most beautiful in the Uni
ted States because it will be SO com
plicated, so large and because Of 1T
rich architectural treatment and EN-
Enlistment. Concerns wanting tt
book places for their shops along tn
arcades will be permitted to max
them any size they desire, but tn
architects will, Of course, plan tn
style of construction.
Two large Dining Rooms
The hotel will include two larg
,dining rooms, each with separat
kitchen. One will be decorated an
conducted in American style, and tn
other in European style. The part Q
the building in which the dining roo
and exchange will be located will b
80 feet in height Tho exchange vii
be in Italian Renaissance style. TIL
European dining room will be finishe
in Georgian period style and the An
erican dining room will be furnishe
and finished in Empire style an
French caen stone.
The exchange, commonly known
the lobby, will be made of the bes
marbles and decorated in finest tai
lestries and feathers. A unique fe,
ture will be the one-room apartment
each of which will be furnished |
furniture characteristic of differer
periods of history, such as the Chi
pendale, the Louis w and the Renail
sance, and the best of hangings, We
vets and decorations will be used.
