Today the origTexas longhorn, that inal streak of hoofs, horns and yellow hide that used to run with the deer and wild mustangs, ls practically extinct. Yet, in bis time, he was the basis of vast fortunes. With the banished longhorn there arena also passed from this , most of those rollicking, heroes whose names still live In the old cowboy ballads. When barbed wire was invented, romance and adventure died on the Texas plains. Freedom was no more. As to Texas, the climatic, geographic, floral fact remains that she Is still the biggest natural cow pasture In the United States At this very minute millions of bulky bovines are quietly feeding and fattening Inside the wire fences of Texas. aniBigger and better mals that ls the modern Texas cowmans slogan. Gradually building up the herds no yearly models but constantly Improved. To get a husky, beast for the low coast lands, the canny Texans have crossed their native cattle with the great humpbacked Brahmans of India. In good years the Fort Worth market alone will receive more than 1,000,000 cattle, as well as, perhaps, 1,250,000 calves, sheep, and hogs. Measured In dollars and cents, Texas cotton ls above cattle. Cotton, In Texas, ls above everything. But nothing is above cattle In the sentiments and memories of Texans. To keep alive and spread the fame of Texas cow kingdoms, 32 historic cattle brands have been carved on the walls of Garrison hall, newest building on the camups of the state university. When Cabeza de Vaca crossed Texas In 1535 the Indians gave him garments of cotton. From the few plants of those early days there has developed a production of astounding magnitude. At times Texas crop has amounted to more than 40 per cent of all cotton grown In the United States. In the record year, 1920, it reached the amazing total of 5,030,831 bales. Taking a leaf from the book of North Carolina, Texas is beginning to build up her most obvious industry, the cotton mill. She enjoys three of the most vital factors for their profitable operation: adequate labor, cotton 'at the gate of tlie cotton patch, and fuel for power. Developing Its Resources. Like North Carolina, also, Texas Is setting about methodically to make the most of all her natural gifts. The newly formed Society for the Scientific Development of Texas Natural Resources ls just what its name Implies. Vast as many resources of Texas are known t'o be, further surveys must yet he made to determine the best local industrial use of the many mineral deposits which exist. Already the annual mineral production, exclusive of oil, is valued at $70,000,000. Take potash. A thorough survey of the Texas deposits may reveal enough of these salts to make the United States forever Independent of the present French-Germapotash monopoly. Texas produces $50,000,000 of net surplus wealth each year. It Is the aim of the Scientific society, by publishing freely the results of Its surveys, to aid this home capital In the development of mining and Industry. Texas, never a territory, entered the Union on her own terms. Shrewdly, she kept title to her own public lands. Half this vast domain she gave to her schools. Her university received more than two million acres. Oil found on those lands has made the University of Texas very rich. Hosts of Americans have seen Texas from the windows of transcontinental trains. To such train riders It seems largely a flat, dry, almost treeless country. Thats the fault of men who located the railroads. Parts of Texas, like the great barrancas of the or the Santa Helena gorge In Brewster county, are wild and pictTain trippers turesque. killing time at bridge between Kansas City and Los Angeles, see nothing of these rougher, wilder regions. Likewise, by hundreds of miles, they miss the verdant, fruitful, subtropic Gulf coast, with its palms and benches, Its pleasure resorts, and Its busy, growFrom all over the ing tourist traffic.

During those winter months they will have no contact with the outside world. They are unlikely even to he in wireless communication. Their only transport will be dog sledges and their only ehanee of getting fresh food will depend on tlie success with which they can use the snow and Ice for the purpose of refrigeration. Tlie party will go to their lonely post on the most northerly arm of the Great Slave lake as soon as the ice breaks up at the end of June. They will reach the settlement of Fort Rae In time to make preparations and do some bartering with the Indians before tlie winter settles down again on this wild country and the Indians go off once more on the trail for the pelts by which they make a living. Some of them may drift hack to tlie settlement again toward Christmas time and may have moose and caribou flesh to barter for flour or implements. If that can be kept fresh by burying it in the snow the party's rations will be the more varied and nutritious, but if the cold storage is unsatisfactory they will have to content themselves with tinned goods. They will be living In an Indian reserve and will therefore not be at liberty to shoot the only animals which might serve as food. This settlement is little farther north than the Slietlnnds, yet it ls one of the coldest places in the world. In the winter it is not unusual to find from 100 to 110 degrees of frost. Fort Rae ls a very primitive settlement. It consists of a Hudson's Bay trader, one rival trader who ls an Assyrian and another who ls a Russian, one Canadian mounted policeman, and a Roman Catholic missionary. It is open to the rest of the world for about six weeks from tlie beginning of July, and even then It cannot be reached by any regular transport service.
