Let nobody in the United Stutss
imagine that the Britiuh and Her
man fleets which are in Venwiuelun
waters will upset the Monroe doc
trine before they get through with
Castro. There 1m a fur bigger and
far more formidable collection of
war vessles In the vicinity of the
disturbed district than these two
liut'ions have on llie ground. Thiws

countrymen a matter of very small
moment. It would be possible be

has Veneiuela or any other of the
countries for whose protection this
principle wus primarily invoked.
All this has been kept firmly and
constantly in mind by tho adminis
tration at Washington. Let no
body in the United States feel any
alarm at the situation in Vene
zuelan waters. The American gov
ernment has taken intelligent and
adequate precautions to defend its
interests and maintain its primacy
in the western hemisphere against
attack from any quarter whatso

next
year's market allowing, of
course, for the cattle that will be
sent northward from Texas in the
spring. The number of cattle held
on the ranges of Nebraska, Wyo
ming and South Dakota for feed
ing next year is a surprise. The
stock men have not sold off so
closely as in other years, and have
made ample provisions for keeping
the young for next year. Already
Nebraska is getting cattle from!
the south for feeding purposes, and
many of the shipments from the
ranges never reached the stock
yard markets. Many train-loads
of cattle have come down from the
Northwest into Nebraska in the
last few weeks not billed for the
markets, but for points in the corn
belt, where feed is plentiful and
where farmers are arranging to
get the biggest possible price out of
it by feeding. N. Y. Tribune-Farmer.

'rii Outlook far .
During the last week of October
and the first week in November
the annual winter roundup of the
Northwestern Stock Grower's As
sociation was held in Nebraska
and South Dakota. This roundup
is of annual occurrence, having
been instituted a few years ago for
the purKse of gathering cuttle
that had drifted from tho ranges
of their owners, and of throwing

are sometimes referred to as leing
uneasy over tho outlook in the
Cariblx-art. These stories should
not dueuive anybody. The adminis
tration knows the situation in that
part of the hemisphere better than
any private person can know it.
It has provided for all contingen
cies. Kvery possibility has been
taken into account. The govern
ment at Washington will not lie
taken by surprise, no matter what
happens In the waters to the south
of us. Both the British and the
German governments have given
the authorities at Washington the
most satisfactory assurance regard
ing their intentions with respect
to Castro. They seek nothing from
him or his government except that
to which they are entitled under
the comity of nations. All this
has been made plain to the govern
ment of the United States. Never
theless, that govemmont has taken
precautions to guard its own inter
ests on the continent, and to defend
the Monroe doctrine against any
menace come from whatever quar
ter it may. ,
Venezuela's president is not an
admirable personage. The feeling
of the people of the United States
toward him personally does not
differ much from that which is
held toward him by the people of
the two countries which are pro
uelinir asainst him. The matter
which is involved in this Vene
zuelan dispute, however, could
the winter, since the majority' of
owners feed heavily during severe
weather. The mothod of this
roundup is as follows:
First, the cattle country is or
ganized into districts and some
prominent stock man is. appointed
as an inspector, with the power of
appointing sub-agents. These in
spectors visit the rancher, the
herds on the range and the mar
kets, and wherever strays are found
they have the Kwer to cut them
out and return them to their own
ers. Besides these insiiectors at
the time of the roundup, the North
western Stock Grower's Associa
tion has regularly appointed in
spectors, who visit the varions
markets, and, if strays are received
report from time to time to their,
owners. , j
The association now represents
nearly forty thousand head of cat
tle, held in bundles' from fifty to
five hundred, the organization be
ing composed entirely of small cat
tle owners. Two inspectors hove
been kept in Chicago, two in South
Omaha, one in Sioux City, and one
at, each of the Indian agencies
where beef cattle are received. The
association has a membership of
two hundred and is growing. It
lins lately affiliated with the Mis
souri River Stoc k Growor's Associa
tion, composed of the small cuttle
owners along the Missouri river.
The supply of cattle on the West
ern ranges is large enough to fill
