INDIANS. COWBOYS AND GREASERS.
Alfred Harper Writes Interestingly of Queer Sights and Strange
Scenes in Santa Fe—Cowboys Race with the Train-
Prairie Dogs and Adobe Huts,, , .
Sahta Fk.New Mex. .August 10.—I
have bat a short time come from
up town to my room, leaving Bfllie at
work. In the twilight, the.walk here
through the streets -very like those of
-Cairo—was like a dream so different
is it from what we see at home. Lit
tle adobe homes crowded close togeth
er, decrepit old men and women sit
ting on the ground in front, repul
sive specimens of dirt, grease and
poverty, smoking cigarettes, and a
jabbering of foreign language in the
ears make it an odd and interesting
sight. On the streets one sees genu
ine, old time Indians,' in queer white
shirt like garments (with theciudal
appendage outside) queer trousers,
moccasins, a brilliant red blanket
around the middle, long hair, a red
handkerchief abound the forehead
and the queer face plentifully smeared
with red paint. I thought about my
scalp and home-sweet-home, but it
seems they are peaceable and live in
villages near here. They are Pueblos
and Techiuebes. I am going out the
first opportunity I get. Besides there
are hundreds who wear clothing like
civilized people, but even' they are
very ignorant.

Billie rooms in a very nice house
and has secured quarters tor me here.
We and one pother are the ohly ones
who room here beside the family. He
eats atj the “Sanitarium” conducted
by sisters of charity, and who give him
that privilege. The food is excellent,
as you might suppose. For •Sapper
tonight I ate fried chicken, irish po

by the sisters) wait on the table and

The post office here is located in the

the viceroy. This is the second old

by the way, was written in this palace.
It is a flat adobe structure. The

am learning to breathe better, but
walking makes my breath very short.
I am writing this 'with no attempt
at anything but merely putting down
things that come in my mind in the
briefest manner I can. A letter could
be written of my trip from Kansas
City here. The train was crowded.
In the smoking department of the
chair car were 8 chairs. I secured
four, then lost two and then another.
But I clung to one. An old German
and his daughter were there, and a
young fellow from North Carolina.
Later a ranchman and cowboy. We
became well acquainted and it made
the trip pleasant. The German is
just from South African gold fields
and is going to Klondike.
In Kansas one sees miles upon miles
of corn. It is a wonderful sight.
Then prairies, bare almost, stretch out
as far as the eye can pee. Great herds
of cattle are scattered about, and oc-

All Big Mill Concern la State in Combine it ip
to Stop Small Mills Frm Cut
ting Prices. (
The lumber nen of Georgia have hit
upon a unique plan to maintain and ad
vance prices, says the Atlanta Journal.
They have a device which is intended to
minimize competition without making
the stockholders obnoxious to the anti
trust law.
The plan is to organize a company
with $50,000 capital and ten or fifteen of
the largest mills the state are to take
the stock. This company will have
offices in Atlanta and Savannah or Bruns
wick, possibly at both Savannah and
Brunswick. The company is to act as
selling agent for the mills interested, and
for as many more as will co-operate with
them. The sales will thus be turned
through one channel, and price cutting
will be stopped.
It is not to be obligatory on the sub
scribing mills to sell their lumber through
tne new company, but common interest
will lead them to do so. They will own
its stock and reap whatever profit it
makes through brokerage
The stock is to be taken, not by the
saw millosmpanies as corporations, but
‘by the individuals who own the mills.
It is a more elastic affair than any form
of trust which has been heretofore
devised and a great deal of ingenuity
has been displayed in the formulation
of the plan. Mr, W. F. Amorous, of
Atlanta, and Mr. H. H. Tift, of Tifton,
COMPULSORY VACCINATION.
The City Ordinances on the Subject Which Are Now Being
Enforced in the City of Rome,
ALL RESIDENTS MUST BE VACCINATED.—Every resident of the city
of Rome is required to be successfully vaccinated, or to be vaccinated a sufficient
number of times to make it evident that successful vaccination is impossible.
FREE VACCINATION.—It shall be the duty ot the city physician to vaccin
ate, free of charge, all residents of the dity who may apply to him for that purpose.
FAILURE TO BE VACCINATED. —Any resident of the city of Rome over

PENALTIES.—Any violation of any of the provisions contained in this
chapter, for which no punishment is provided 1 , may be. punished by fine not exceed
ing one hundred dollars or imprisonment not exceeding thirty days,
are at work on the * project and it is
said by other saw mill men that the
plan will go through.
Thirty.six Big Mills.
The bulk of the pine lumber in Geor
gia is out by 36 concerns whose aggre
gate capacity is about 2,000,000 feet per
day. There are about 100 smaller mills
averaging something like 10,(500 feet
per day each.
Theses small mills Lave done much to
demoralize the market. Their, necessi
ties have often driven them to sell lum
ber for less than the cost ol production,
and only the strong mills doing a heavy
business on railroad work and the like
have been able to refuse orders at low
prices, when the market was demoralized
.by the cutting of prices by brokers rep
resenting the smaller mills. One strength
of the larger concerns was the large or
ders from railroads, which could not well
be secured or filled by the smaller mills.
Nevertheless, the cutting has hurt the
business of the larger mills, and they are
trying to devise a plan to stop that
trouble. Most of the large mills have
orders ahead for a month and they feel
that business justifies better prices than
lumber has been selling for. The de
mand is better both for export and for
domestic consumption, and they want to
take advantage of this fact. Similar
movements are going on in other parts
of the southern pine belt. At Lit
tle Rock ten days ago the saw
mill men of Arkansas,' Louisiana
and Texas met to take steps for
advancing prices. There will be a
meeting of the Southern Lumber
Manufacturers’ associjUtion at Nash
ville on the 17th and the call of Presi
dent While says the time has' come
when the lumbermen “can by con
certed action, sechre living prices for
lumber during the remainder of the
year. ’ ’
