FULL INVESTIGATION IS INVITED
Band Of 6,000 Horses , I
The iintutal horse round-up I
this sprint : in Douglas county ,
Washington , promises to be
one of the best ever held in the
west. Frenchman Mountain ,
eighteen miles south of Quincy
lias always been a bad place for
range horses getting away from
riders , and there is tunny a fine
lorse that has escaped its owners
on that range for years. These
ire generally the best of the
juncli , the strongest and swiftest
of them all.
This year Al. Soper has a plan
which if carried out will certainly
jring in practicall every horse on
the range. The best range in
the country now is from Ephrata
ind Quincy south and east along
the Columbia to the Snake river.
Mr. Soper and other horsemen
propose to unite in the round up
with ranchers and horsemen from
other sections who have horses on
this range and put enough riders
in the field on a certain date to
practicall'drive all before them.
The program will be something
as follows :
A line of riders will be estab
lished from Kphrata to and be
yond Quincy on a certain day and
all proceed leisurely south toward
Frenchman Hill for the camp
that night , driving all before
them. The next morning the
east end of the line will swing
around to Crab Creek and then
the line will gradually converge
until they have the range horses
all at the mouth of Crab Creek on
the Columbia , or Red Rock Coulee
leeRed Rock Coulee is a natur
al corral which requires but a
few men to hold as man } ' as 5,000
head , and it is probable that it
will be fenced at the ends as
there is money enough in the
treasury of the horsemen at this
time to build a corral at Coyote
spring and fence Red Rock can
you.
you.The
The country embraced in this
plan is about 30 miles from cast
to west and nearly 50 miles from
north to south , and there are
said to be fully 6,000 head , and
horses on tiie range at this time
Many ranchers have stray horses
that will be found in the bunch
and stockmen from other counties
are also interasted. The entire
round-up will occupy less than
a week and practically every
horse in the country will be driven
in.
A meeting will be held at
Ephrata on Friday. March 2 , of
all those interestel to perfect the
plan and provi le for a system of
commissary. This will be no
small thing , ; is 150 to 200 men
will require some food. Wagons
will be detailed for each section
of the riders , to carry provisions
and keep near so that the line
will not be broken at any time.
Every person who has stray
horses and all stockmen who have
animals on the range should be | i
present at this meeting so as to
understand what will be ncccs- !
sary to be done and the plans by
which it is proposed to accomplish
(
plish the result. It has been the
i
custom for horsemen to ride this
range with a few men for several
weeks and lose the best animals.
By this plan the riding can be ac
complished in a few days and j
there is no possibility of losing' ' .
any animals after they arc
started It will require 150 riders
in line to cover the countrv.
Guards will be placed along Crab
Creek wherever a crossing is
possible and thus the horses will I
be thrown down Crab Creek can-1
yon to the corrals without any
trouble and without any riding.
Ranchers and stockmen who
cannot assist in the round-up but
want their horses held will be
notified when to appear for them
and will be charged $3 per head
for the service. They should
communicate with Al Soper at
Wilson Creek or with Thomas
Burgen at Ephrata , and if poss
ible be present at the meeting
on March 2.
The spectacle of 200 riders
rounding up a bend of 5,000 to
6,000 head of horses is one that
has never been witnessed in this
part of the United States , and
will certainly be a spectacle
worth many a mile of travel to
see. Even in the palmy days of
horse raising in this country a
band of a thousand head was
considered a wonderful under
taking , but this means something
that will intercut not only the
easterner , but every stockman in
the country , aside front his own
crship of animals. To see a
band of 6,000 horses sweeping
down on to Bald Flat will be a
grand sight one that will prob
ably never be parallelled in
Washington again.
The time for the roundup will
depend on the time which spring
open and it will be held as soon
as grass is in proper condition
and height for the work. Prob
ably the first week in April.
Those interested will learn of the
dates through the columns of
The Chief in time to be present
at the grand spectacle.

Oh women
In our hours of ease ,
Uncertain , coy
And hard to please
Why do you
Hold your dresses so
When on the streets
You're pleased to go ?
Say , ladies
Arc you quite aware
The way you hold them
Makes folks stare
And wonder
Not a little bit ,
If they were made
So tight a fit ?
Or are you
To their snugness blind
Because you cannot
Sec behind ,
To learn why people
Grin and pause ?
Or do you
Do it "just because ? "
If you arc
Thin its not so bad
When you arc somewhat
Thickly clad ;
But if you
Have a figure why
Words fail to tell
What meets the eye.
Dear woman
Whatso'er it be
That makfi the visions
Which we see ,
Correct it ,
Please , this very day ,
And hold your skirts
Some other way.
Corn As Ocean Freight.
An immense business lias been
done in ocean freight at the sea.
board during the past season.
It is said to be the largest since
the Leilerdeal in 1898. It in
eludes grain , llax , Hour , and
manufactured products of grain ,
and the ungagments extend as
far ahead as next month.
It is frequently remarked by
ill-informed people when speak.
ing of any great prospective
business like this , "Well , the
railroads will get all the money
there is in it. ' ' It may bo a sur
prise to know that a great deal
of all this freight has been carried -
ried at a loss or at least at a
very low profit. Millions of
bushels of corn are carried at
less than two mills per ton per
mile , much below the cost of
operation. But if the railroads
were to go absolutely out of the
corn business in order to avoid
suffering this loss , they would
lose control of their seaports.
Seaports are simply gateways
as President Tuttle of the Bus-
ton & Maine railroad has said ,
and if though the malndminis-
| tration of railroads they pre
vent the traffic from passing
' through these gateways they de
stroy their prosperity. One of
} the necessities of trans.atlantic
' tmflic is stiffening cargo , for the
hold. They must have corn ,
oats , barley , wheat , or something
thingof that kind , otherwise
they must pump water in or
take in sand or stone or other
. ballast.
Alabama's Grand Old Men.
Senator Edmund Winston
Pettus , of Alabama , is going on
85 , and Senator John Tyler Mor
gan ol the same state , is going
on 82. Going on has become
such a habit with both gentle
men that the passing of the
years is mere routine to them
without significance. They
still look forward to longcareers
in the public service. Mr. Mor-
fifan'snext term in the senate
ill extend from 1007 , to 101 .
Mr Pettus has gone through the
formality of announcing his
candidacy for re-election in
190(5. ( There is a story that
when he was a candidate for a
place on the federal bench dur
ing Cleveland's second adminis
tration the president refused to
give him the desired appoint *
menl because he was too old ,
and that he swore that if he was
too old to be a judge he was
young enough to be 'a senator.
He made good in 18)7 ! ) and be
gan his second term in 15)011 ) , be
ing still young enough. Ills
biography states that he had
never before been a candidate
for a political olllce , but at the
time when he resolved to prove
his youth his colleague had
been in the senate for many
years , having first taken his in
877 , when he was a mere strip
ling of 52. lie must have be
lieved then that he was just on
the threshold of life , for a news
paper correspondent reports
him as saying : "I remember
feeling quitu chagrined because
uiy father did not live to be a
hundred. " The elder Morgan
died at 94 , and his son explain
ed that he might have kept right
on living , "but he would not
agree to follow his physician's
advice and take stimulants. He
said that he had lived all Ins
life without drinking spirituous
liquors , and he did not propose
to commence it in his old age.
He thought , any way. that he
went peacefully to his end. "
It will thus be seen that he
really went of his own volition ,
and the senator at 81 has so
many things to do that such a
complete and final retirement is
not a practical question with
him. He might debate , it , of
the senate but it is something
to save up for future use will be
really necessary , since he has
discussed things in general for
days at a time without coming
anywhere near the end of his
resources.
Both Senator Pettus and
Senator Morgan began the prac
tice of law at 21. The older
man was a lieutenant in the
Mexican war , and he went to
California on horseback in the
famous year 18-11) ) . Probably
this outdoor exercise was good
for him ( and he took it pretty
constantly from 1801 to 1805 ,
when he was an officer in the
confederate army and rose the
rank of brigadier general.
Senator Morgan rose to the same
rank in the same service and
has distinguished himself since
not only in the senate , but by his
work on important federal corn-
inisnions.
They are two grand old men
whose active , useful lives talce
us through tremendous stretches
of the nation's history , and
Alabama does well in honoring
them. She has the approval of
the country. Chicago Record
