NATURE IS GENEROUS l PM AN OLD IB FARE BEEN HAS CUSTOM ABOLISHED. Railroad Withdraw a Privilege Which Shippers Hava Enjoyed for Years. According to the News an announcement affecting transjiortatlon of stock-me- n has been made by the railroad offices in Salt Lake City, which will bring grief to the hearts and pockets of many a sheep and cattle owner; and -according to all accounts the stock to blame. men have only themselves Since the time when the memory of the oldest resldcnter runneth not to the contrary, it has been the custom of the railroads of the western, northwestern and southwestern country to give return ns well ns outgoing passes to stockmen in charge of livestock In transit to market points. Rut for some time the railroad officials have suspected thut not a few stockmen have fallen Into the reprehensible way of selling return passes to ticket brokers. That Is to say, cattle men not desirous of returning for some time would sell the return coupons for lucre, and thus beat the railroad companies out of that much money. Finally, the railroad men say, this abuse became so noticeable that the passenger department registered a large and healthy remonstrance with their freight departments, and now comes the order that hereafter r.U stockmen going out in charge of livestock will be given passes for the outward bound trip only. When- they return they must pay their fare the same as anybody else to whom the railroads are under no obligation whatever. However, It is fair to state that this Is not the sole reason, although It Is the main reason for the new order. President Jesse M. Smith, of the rtah Wool Growers association, claims that the railroads have really no Just cause for this cutting off the stockmen, as It Is only about one man In 100 who thus abuses the courtesies of the railroad company. He remarked he had understood such an order was pending, and that the stockmen would take Immediate steps to have it reel nded. If the rullroHd managements would not do this, the chances are that the matter would end In the growers handling their live stock right over the railroads at points of shipment. and allowing the operating department to assume the responsibility of caring for the stock while In transit , ALASKA'S REINDEER in the Palagal Mukrioff Antestlnok, known to the whites as Shlnrock Mary, the reindeer queen of Alaska, has given to the commercially Inclined a hint of the great profit which could be made by the systematic handling of large herds of reindeer, says the Nome News, taking the reindeer, which her husband, Sinrork Charlie, left at his death, she has increased their number to more than 400. a source of large Income, each of the animals readily selling in this market at from $50 to $75. What she has done with a small band of native herders, without any special study of the subject and with no effort at system. Indicates what a fortune awaits the man who takes up reindeer herding, the only livestock Industry that Is possible in northwestern Alaska. The reindeer alive Is useful for either packing or draught purposes. He will handily carry on his back from 100 to 150 pounds or draw a sled from 200 to 300 pounds. From the reindeer Is also secured an excellent quality of milk, from which the natives make butter and cheese. The reindeer dead Is even more valuable. It is the testimony of epicures that the sweetest porterhouse steak to be found anywhere is cut from the reindeer. Almost every part of the animal's body Is useful for something. In fact, it is well known to those acquainted with native herders that they make some use of every bit of the skin, tlesh. sinew, bone nnd Intestine. Of the pelts most varied use is made. From them are fashioned mukluks g trousers, and that wonderful outer garment, the parka, untver sally worn In winter by both male and female natives and by many whites. The parka extends to the knees, and g has a hood, which keeps the head and shoulders comfortably warm, even In the severest weather. Excellent sleeping bags and especial ly pretty robes, white and brown mottled fawns, are also profitable rein deer products. The reindeer, too, takes care of him- close-fittin- Sin-roc- k, se way.

THE It seems that the unwritten law of Nevada that no Indian shall be hanged for murder may Intervene to save the life of the young Piute now in the Car-so- n penitentiary, under sentence of death, for the killing of a white man In Lincoln county. Numerous have been the cases in Nevada In which Indiana have been sentenced to death for murders, some of which were of a most dlbollcal nature, yet the cases In which the sentences have been carried out have been extremely rare. In nearly every Instance petitions have been circulated and numerously signed by the dtisens of the state asking the board of pardons to grant a commutation of sentence and In nearly every Instance the Indian's neck has been saved. The consequence Is that a large proportion of the Indians In the Nevada state prison are serving life sentences. So it has come to pass that an Indians chance of being hanged for murder In Nevada Is about as rare as that of the winning of the capital prise In a lottery. Either would come as the biggest kind of a surprise. It is only once In a great while that a good Indian Is legally made so In that state. Cochle Sigmlller Is the name of the young Piute upon whom the sentence of death has been pronounced and who Is awaiting In the state prison the rapidly approaching day set for the party. True, Cochle shot a white man to death while the latter was lying asleep at his home. But Cochle is only sixteen years old and tradition must not be set aside. The press and sympathetic citizens of the state have taken up Cochle's cause and when he answers the final summons It will probably be either from old age inside the prison or whisky outside.
