(Harney count v stockman, who n the city to look into market sea of beef. says that radical ingea are taking place in that ion, says the Grant County “Tbe big stock companies are losing,” said he “The time has passed when they are able to con trol thousands of acres of good grazing and meadow land and rea lise a profit on the cattle industry. The result is that the big ranches are splitting up. “I believe next year the entire French-Glenn holdings of Harney and Malheur will be divided into 160 and 320-acre tracts for sale to the settler. It is common infor mation also that the Pacific Live stock company , which has the in terests once managed by Lux and Miller, will begin the partitioning process within another year or two. Harden and Riley, owning exten sive land on Harney lake, sold to a eastern crowd at a fancy price, but the newcomers are losing on the game and I think would be glad to unload. “There are other cattle barons of the old time who are disappearing. John Devine has immense posses sion cf land, but tbe settler is des tined to cultivate most of it. In Lake and Klamath counties the same tendency is noted “Raising beef by syndicates has become unprofitable because land is too valuable and they are getting ready to turn their princely pos sessions' over to the multitude of settlers who await the time when thsy may secure a tract capable of being cultivatee and managed by one man. “The result must be a large in flux of settler« Take, for instance, the French-Glenn holdings in Har ney county. Tbe Diamond and P-ranch sections on Dunder and Blitzen river will accommodate sev eral hundred families when thrown open to purchase. I have ridden over these tracts and found mile upoo mile of beautiful meadow and arableland It will grow the best of grain and hay and also fruits of the most hardy nature are quite sore. 'The river is fed by Steins’ mountain, a high snow capped range. Pete French got hold of many4housands of acres here in early days, while working for old Doe Glenn of California and in the days »hen there was no sheep and , few settiers to encroach upon the range.th._v made immense fortunes. Both of the original inen have been killed and tiie present company is unable to realize the neces»aiy pro fit to eontinue. “When Harney county has her eettl* barons bethroned and the settler is given an opportunity, that community’ will advance as never before. I believe such a |>eriod of devwfopment is at hand and the l^rpose of the French Glenn mana gement will be the forerunner of many more.” shut out of ths buildings by others for our space is limited aud it dusn’t take many exhibit, to fill it.” That action must be taken with- out delay is recognized at head quarters. It is realized- that the Pacific Coast manufacturers must be brought to act without delay. In the absence of the various heads of departments, who are at St. Louis, D. C. Freeman, secretary to President Goode, has taken the ini tiative and will issue circular let ters at once apprising local manu facturers of the situation and urging them to act without delay. “The inactivity of Western man ufacturing interests is possibly due to the failure of manufacturers to appreciate the necessity for prompt ness in applying for exhibit space.’’ said au Exposition attache in dis cussing the situation yesterday, “Of course the Exposition manage ment can hardly be blamed for this ss Director Doech has sent out cir culars on two different occasions to every manufacturer on the Pacific Coast, and announcements have been made through the press The files show that only a handful of local people have thus far applied for space. The rei*ort from Colonel Dosch shows there sre already on hand a hundred applications for space from Easterners in the industrial build ing alune. Applications for space in other buildings are nearly as numorous and continue to come in with every mail. The rules that must be followed in the apportionment of space is, first come first served—other things being equal. While promptness in applying is one essential, the qual ity of the exhibit means much, and thus a lively competing is aroused which will mean the very finest ex hibits for all deparment8. It is held impossible to set aside space for exclusive use of local peo ple. This would arouse a cry of unfairness and consequently favor- ism must be elimated, the awards being mails on merit alone.
