RANGE TO RANCH.
Changing Methods of Cattle Raining
in the West.
A bronze-faced man, with wldo
brlmmed hat, sat in tho lobby of tho
Now Willard, in Washington City, a
fow days ago reading tho toxt of tho
petition nicd by tho United StatoB of
flclaU ngalnat tho beef trust. Thd
reader was emphatic In bis approval
of tho cloven specifications against
tho big packing companion. "If tho
government had only battled thoso fcl
Iowh Into court a dozen yonra ago, wo
cattlemen of tho West would bavo
been mailing Bomo monoy all thoso
years, and tho moatoatorB of tho East
would liavo "saved enough monoy on
their moat bills to bavo mado thom nil
rloh."
Then ho confided to a toportor of tho
Washington PoBt that his nnnto wns
Jobn Dattorflbco, and that ho had boon
ranching with varied buccobs for tho
past twenty years In Wyoming. Asked
ot explain In whnt mannor tho moat
IniBt bad boon prejudicial to tho In
torosts of tho cattlomon of tho West,
Mr. Battersboo said:
"Woll, It Is Just about a quartor of
a century alnco It waB first practically
domonstrntcd that Uto grasaes of tho
then virgin "Went could euro whllo
standing and furnish an nbundanco of
winter food for cattlo. It waH soon nf
tor tho war that advonturoun sottlorH
began to pour Into tho WoBtern rango
country, extending from tho Ilrltlsh
pooaeaslons on tho north to Toxas on
Ltio BOitth, and embraced botwoon tho
Missouri rlvor and thu creht of tho
rango of tho Ilocky Mountains. Many
tnWnwnA tho advancing lino of tho
Union l'acino railroad, and others con
cerned UiomsolvoB with prospecting
for precious mlnornls. Tho lino of
railway was tho baso of suppllos for
tho scattered settlers throughout tho
country, and tho means of transporta
tion from tho railroad to tho Bottlers'
camps and tho military posts waB by
bull team.
"Whon tho charnctor of tho country
bocamo moro generally ltnown, .cattlo
ralsorB followed as a matter of conrso
Tho grasses woro peculiarly succulent,
and stood Unco doop. Tho rolling clinr
actor of tho wlnd-swopt pralrlo as
sured plonty of bare spots, no matter
how groat tho snowfall, whllo tho blttn
along tho crook or In tho foothills as
sured protection to tho stock from tho
cold winds.
"Tho beginning of tho Htock buslnoss
was very modest, but as tho damana
Incraasod and tho market oxtondod,
now sourcos woro Bought out to ro-
plonlBh tho supply. TIiobo woro road-
lly found In Toxas, whoro tho cost of
raising cattlo was slight, and Boon tho
Toxas trail was opoiiod, ovor which
thousnnds of hoad woro driven to tho
vast ranges of tho Itocky Mountain re
gion.
Old Days on the Range.
"In tho oarllor days of tho cattlo
buslnoss tho stockman lived nt tholr
ranches, varying tho monotony of llfo
by an occasional visit to town, which
they tiBtially painted a rich, rod huo;
but they looked vory sharp nftor tholr
biifllnoss, lived and rodo with tholr
mon, shnrod tholr hardships, outing
precisely tho samo faro on tho round
upB, and personally oversowing tho
buslnoss in nil Hb dutnlls. Thoy ownod
Httlo, If any, land, and tholr 'squat
tors' rights' woro proteotod by tholr
neighbors, who woro enjoying .precise
ly tho Bntno prlvilogo.

twoon that yonr and 1882 thoy doubled
In vnluo and tnon who had boon load
ing tho hard, rough-and-ready llfo of
frontlor stockmon found themselves
suddenly rich, Thon bogan nn era of
speculation. Eastorn nnd English can
ltnl began to flow Into tho Western
country. In addition to tho big prices
nnd nbundanco of feed, tho wlntors
about this tlmo woro exceedingly mlla
nnd favorable. Millions of dollars of
foreign capital woro Invested In tho
cattlo buslnoss, nnd scoros of big
herds woro sold to English and for-
olgn Investors on "hook account," that
is thoy paid for what tho owners
showed Bhottld bo on tho rango, ro
gardloss of actual recounting. Ono
Englishman did Insist on nn actual tnl
lying. Tills was Morton Frowon, tho
financial writor, but tho cowboys out
wlttod hint. Thoy drove many bun.
drods of tho cattlo ho wns purchasing
past him throo or four tlmos, nnd, llko
his compatriots, who bought on 'Hook
account,' ho paid for noarly twlco as
many cnttlo as ho nctually bought.
"Thon thoy coucolvod tho Idea of
crossing tho hardy plains cattle with
blue blooded stock. Many flno ani
mals woro Imported from England and
sold nt almost fabulous prlcos. Tho
purposo waB to Increaso tho beef-pro-during
(pinlltlos of tho rango stock,
but the offuct of this addition of flnoly
tnaturod cattlo would bavo la tho rust
ling .unlltlos of tholr progony was not
taken Into consideration, At tho banks
tho mon who hud ownod cattlo In tho
early '80's bad unlimited credit. Tho
unfortunate Individual who owned
rail estate was out of luck, for no
bank would lonu him any monoy. Hut
ono Idea provnllod In tho West, nnd
thnt was to got a 'bunch' of cattlo.
Once thoy got thom thoy bollovod

Rush to Buy Cattle.
"Wealthy tenderfoot rushed In llko
moths to tho candle Thoy didn't know
tho dlfToronco botwoon a Tonoh steer
and a Horford bull, but thoy wanted to
cet Into tho cattlo business, In which
men woro becoming rich ovor night,
nnd big companies woro declaring dlv
Idonds of 35 per cont. 'Book accounts
had not fallen Into disrepute, and woro
still nccoptcd In lieu of an actual tally
of tho herd which was bought. Only a
small tiorcontago of tho now cattlo
owners knew anything practical about
tho business, but talked learnedly
about It. Millions of dollars were
recklessly Invostod In blooded cattlo,
all unused to exposure, and left to
rustle for n living In tho open plains
llko tho wild, thrifty Wostorn cattlo,
"Tho first intlmntlon of lurking
dnngor camo In tho wlntor of 1881.
Tho sonson was sovoro, and many cati

Bottlors nnd tho big stockmon. Moan
whllo tho price of cattlo constantly
decreased on tho cattlo market, until
nobody willingly touched cattlo com
pany stock or property with a forty
foot polo.
Transition to 8mall Herds.
Undor thoso radical conditions a
radical chango took placo" in tho cat
tlo buslnoss In tho west. Tho big
outfits or cnttlo companies owning1
10,000 to 100,000 head of cattlo in
tho prosporous ora of tho business
woro succeeded by smaii owners
whoso holdings ran from a fow hun
dred bond up to scvoral thousand. It
wns hard nan and close figuring for
nil the owners, big nnd Httlo, and it
was during this tlmo that tho pacK-
Ing houso firms, In the oarllor days
known as tho 'Big Four got their
tontnclos so ontwlned about the
rango cattlo buslnoss as to enable
thom to gradually expand until, ns
tho 'hoof trust' thoy havo cornered
the ontiro cnttlo growing, marketing
and Totalling business of the United
Statos.
"Tho packing housos secured tholr
first' bold upon tho boot growers by
loaning thom monoy. AgontB of tho
big packing compnnloa practical
stockmon, traveled throughout the
wostorn beef-growing country, and
through tho ngoncy of tho local banks
mado loans upon tho herds of cattle
men, largo and smnll, and It was but
a short time until tho packing houso
men bad mortgages on every hoof of
cattlo In tho west; and since that
time, no mattor what tho price of
meat has boon to tho consumer, tho
prlco paid to tho cattlo dealors
have boon smnll enough to loayo then,
a bare margin of profit in their busl
noss ln'somo years and leaving thom
to fool lossos in othors.
"Tho cattlo mon havo been abso
lutely at tho morcy of tho packing
housos. If an owner Indopendont of
tho packing housos In tho mattor of
loans upon his cattlo sought to cvado
tholr clutches, ho found himself mis
taken whon ho camo to market bis
beeves. Cattlo, aB you know, must
must bo marketed Immediately upon
their arrival In Omnha. Kansas City,
or Chicago, tho groat cattlo markets
of tho country. Evory hour Btock Is
kopt In tho yards doproclatos tholr
vnlnn. and tho combination botweon
tho packing houso mon at thoso yards
as charged In specification six of tho
suit Hied against tho packors ny tno
govornmont, was worked to a flno fin
ish day aftor day, month nftor month
and year aftor year, making tho pncK
ors millionaires, and giving tho grow
ers but scant return In tholr buslnoss.
Tho cattlo growors got no bonoflt out
of tho oxorbltant prlcos charged con
fuimors. On tho contrary, tho high
prices ronct upon tho cattlo grower In
tho decreased consumption of beef.
"If tho govornmont succcods In
iininklne uh tho consplrncy, which
undoubtedly oxists and baa exlstod for
tho past ton or moro years among mo
packing house of Omaha, Chicago
and Kansas City, It will placo tho cat

tho host condition and upon tho firm
ost basis that it has ovor boon In slnco
Its Inception thirty yoars ago."
