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 tato, hot biscuit, raspberries, drank, milk and coffee, Will trained little Mexican girls (orphans taken care of by the sisters) wait on the table and do it well. It is a rather pretty place, with a number of patients from Wis consin toJMissibSippi. Met several more at dinner and this afternoon. A young fellow and hisjsister from Ken tucky are very nice, also a prominent yon ng Louisville newspaper man. The Misses Drew are c daughters of a St Louis multi-millionaire. *»* The post office here is located in the ol i Spanish palace, occupied then by the viceroy. This is the second old est town in this country. Ben Hur, by the way, was written in this palace. It is a flat adobe structure. The governor and ex-governor live; in the little flat things, and Billie saya they are very comfortable inside. « They look like mud huts and seem very low to one unaccustomed to them. Little burros are seen here on all sides. (By the way it is pronounced booros (oo like boot) like bureau except for the sound of the oo instead of u. They bring great loads of wood » from the mountains. Everything is wild and picturesque more than I imagined. I 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- Gold Medal. Highest Awards. Diploma of Honor AWARDED TO A- K. HAWKES.

I was sur . prised to note the hundreds of praire dogs along the track, and also one jack-rabbit. Two of the most pictur esque cowboys I’ve seen, while the train was rushing through the prairies lined up along side just out from my e*r window, and the race with the , train was exciting. For a mile or two . they whipped their horses almost every step, and fairly flew. Both gained a little on the train before they t stopped. It was a fine sight, and if I ever become a cowboy I’ll race with every train that posses for the amuse-, ment of the passengers. »*» Well, I’ve written a long letter, , without telling much either It seems . to me I will try to write a letter for ’ The Tribune later on —one that will be ( worth reading.

There are many people here to keep me company in coughing and one’s health is a cheer , ful topic of conversation.

ROME BOMB TRIBUNE, SUN DAT AUGUST 15, LUMBER TO ADVANCE' Lumber Corporations Form to Fores Frees Upward. If I LL NO? BeTtRUST, IT IS SHD 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 fifteen years of age, who has not been successfully vaccinated, and shall fail or refuse after twenty-four hours’ notice to be so vaccinated, may, on conviction, be punished as prescribed by Section 447, for each day such person so refuses or f»ils. And any parent, guardian or any other person having control of a child under fifteen years of age, who has not been successfully vaccinated, and who stall fail to have such child so vaccinated, after twenty, four hours’ notice shall be subject to the penalties abo%e provided. j 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. ’ ’ Advance Is Exp’cted.
