BIS THOUGHTS OFTEN TURN HOMEWARD. (Continued From Page 1.) business prosperous as all of the money.is spent here at home. Mr. brother-in-law, D. B. Williams, formerly of N'ewberry, conducts a large mercantile business. As a result of the mining business here, Caddo is situated between the Red and Blue Rivers, where wild game of every description abounds. Sometime when I am out shooting deer and antelope, I think of the boys back at my old home chasing a poor little cotton tail rabit for dear life through briar patches, and if they bag two or three, they think they have had a sucesessful day's outing. The Jack Rabbit is, or would be, quite a eur iosity with the boys of Newberry. They are about. three times the size of the cotton tail, with cars about eight inches long and can run as swift as the red fox in your home country. Speaking of the fox recalls pleasant memories of the chase I used to take after them back there with Burt Neel, a son of Mr. Tom Neel, whom you all know well. Now, I wish you could pay your Unele Douglass and myself a visit, Burt. Now, as my first residence in this country was just. neross Red river in Texas, I will give a brief description of that Lone Star state. It is a star, and I trust that it will continue to shine, as it has, forever. The east ern part of it is a pine timbered coun try and thickly settled, and at that, mostly by cattle men or ranchmen as they are called. There is where we find the real cow boy. Two or three of them out on a range miles away from any human being, herding thou sands of eattle day and night, with no company except two or three noble shepherd dogs, and a faithful pony. They have a. caml) or cook wagon, which they take to town when they need them, returning probably not to see town or any human being for sev eral months iutil their supplies are exhausted. Such is the lonely life of the Texas cow hoy. But there is a noble IearIt that beats belneath his m11anl1y hosomi. Their chief sport used to be clasing ati lariting" the wild huitalo.

Southwest Canada is thi now quite a grain country. They are otl using a great deal of our machinery ica n. the farms over there. The small ne stock farmer is crowding the cattle w< nan out there, the same as here now. fol The large cattle man's time is limited w< ww everywhere, but the country will th not be any the worse off for it, for So what cattle are raised then, will be tal better than now, and every farmer th( will then raise a few steers for mark- ha et where they cannot compete with the tic nan that has the large range now. all From Canada I came back down in Onl M(itaimia and onl into Washington. ke I have not very much to say for Mon- 110 tannia, only that .1 thought from the Pe weather I uist. have been very near 4no the North Pole. Thtere is some beau- Pc (iful scenery along the line of the ireat Northern Railway through the M Rocky Mountains in Montanna. On Au the plains of that state I traveled for is [. distance of one hundred and fifty th miles without seeing one soul except so some half civilized Indians. That was wl nlong the head of the Missouri River. of The -next places of interest to me PC was the Cascade Tunnel through the th4 Cascade mountains in Washington, I and that beautiful stream, the Co- Sc lumbia river, where the greater por tion of our canned salmon are caught. amr I visited the salmon fisheries and bu paeking plants, where I learned a anm ,reat deal. Next of interest was the fie Zreat forests of that state Oregon and at California. I visited several of the ae ;aw mill districts and logging camps. so I could write a whole volume on it, be but will not attempt it now. Next, I -wl lended back across the great desert su >f Utah, and on the Great Salt Lake rig anA Salt Lake City, where I spent .e Ceveral days with the Mormons, saw til lie great Temple and Tabennacle. I ag round there a proseprous and social liv ct of people. They iave a beautiful we ind wealthy city there. Next I came ti m into Colorado, where I visited some a f thlie famous 1esots. Among them im was Pike's Peak, the Orand Canyon, hi's 1d he Royal Glor-e and tile Garden j f >f the Cods. 11 seems, as if the seen- rje .ry at those places is almost too hil rand to he reah.
