Daey Are Rapidly Grassing
Over,
;Where They Were Located and the Cat
tie That traveled Over Them-Thoe
Wickedest Cities.
An Abilene, Kan., eorrespondent of the
Sit, Louis Globe-Demoerat says: With the
clearing of of the Cherokee strip and the
fencing of Oklahoma lands there has been
ended the usefulness of the Texas cattle
trails. Which were a few years ago the great
highway from the feeding grounds of the
Lone Star state to the shipping points in
Kansas. Gradually, with the opening of
railroads, there have been fewer and fewer
herds driven over the long journey, and
now the last one has reached its destina
tion and the cowboy of the west is a thing
of the past. He will flourish on the bur
lesque stage and will figure in the flash
literature of the news stands, but in real
life he will be known no more. No drives
will take place this fall.
The old cattle-trails whlchwere the trunk
sailways. of early days are grassing over.
Once they were beaten hard and bare by
tens of thousands of hoots. Long ohboo
late-colored paths they were, stretching out
over hill and through vale, crossing rivers
and climbing steep bluffs, bordered here
and there by the bleaching bones of some
weary member of the herd who had found
the trip too much for his strength. From
interior Texas to central Kansas they led,
first reaching to Abilene; then, after the
building of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe railroad, to Dodge City, where for many
years were performed the orgies to which
the cowboys were prone to give way at the
end of the drive.
SThe first cattle trail was looated, by Mr.
Joseph G. McCoy, now of Wichita, Kan.,
and. recently superintendent of the live
stock bureau of the United States census.
He was a pioneer stockman, and was the
first to realize the possible proflte
in driving the Texas . cattle part
of the way to market and
shipping them the remainder. Mr. McCoy
conceived the idea of opening up an outlet
for Texas cattle. Being impressed with a
knowledge of the number of cattle in Texas,
and the difficulties of getting them to mar
ket by routes and means then in use, and
realizing the great disparity between Texas
values and northern prices of cattle, he set
to work to equalize the extremes.
The plan was to establish yards at some
accessible point to which the Texas drover
could bring his stock and find a buyer, or
failing in that could ship to any city in the
country. After repeated 8ogversations and
consultations with leading stockmen it was
decided to select some point on the old
Kansas Pacifi railroad, now the Kansas
division of the Union Pacific. The road
was then (in 1867) completed 200 miles
west of Kansas City, and Abi
lense was - decided noon as the
meeting point where Northern buyers and
Southern sellers would meet. The
town consisted of two log huts and a saloon;
the surrounding country was sparsely set
tiled and well watered, with plenty of grass.
Land for yards was purchased and a man
well versed in the geography of the country
and used to the prairie was sent out into
Southern Kansas and the Indian Territory
to hunt up all straggling herds of cattle
and send them to Abilene. Mounting his
pony he set out for a lonely 200-mile ride
southwesterly, crossing the Arkansas at the
site of the present city of Wichita and send
ing every herd he met northward with
promises of quick sales and big profits. The
long and expensive drive through the Ozark
Mountain region was gladly evaded, and
x,000 cattle came. to the new station the
UM year.
There were the Texas and Kansas cattle
trails established. Two or three principal
highways were at once laid out and for
many years they were kept well worn by
the passing hoofs. Of these the best known
was the "Chisholm trail," so called after a
partly civilized Indian who first followed it.
Then there was the "Shawnee trail," which
was later followed almost exclpslively by the
herds from western Texas. Leaving the
Red river, it ran eastward, crossing the
Arkansas near Fort Gibson. Thence it fol
lowed the banks of the Arkansas, taking
advantage of the level reaches of the valley
until it came into Kansas, when it was
necessary to cross the divide of eighty miles
between the valley of the Smoky Hill and
the Arkansas. There were side trails and
cut-offs along the line, intended to evade
some precipitous country or to avoid some
stream with swollen waters.
Fording the rivers was the phief danger,
outside of the stampedes, which the cattle
men had to fear. The Arkansas and Cim
arron rivers, particularly, with their wide
sandy river beds, were in time of high water
very treacherous. It was a sight never to
be forgotten to see a herd of 5,000 or more
cattle crossng a stream. A long line of
horned heads, bodies submerged, and the
cowboys on their swimming horses by the
sides were striking featurellof the drive.
Beveral cattls were usually drowned in
crossing a stream.
After the thorough establishment of the
trails began the rush of cattle. In 1869
there were 75,000 head shipped from the lit
tle town whloh became a pandemonium of
cowboys, and was known far and wide as
the "wickedest town in the west," a title
taken up later on by Dodge City, Deadwood
and Leadville-the quartet being the only
ones generally considered as entitled
to the not very oreditable p appella
tion. There was nothing that was
not possible in Abiltne, and fatal en
counters were almost as numerous as the
days. In 1870 nearly 800,000 head of Texas
cattle were shipped, and the following year
saw an influx that surprised the most an
guine. It seemed that every Texas ranch
sent out its herds until it was estimated
that at least 600,000 head of aonttle roamed
over the plains of western Kansas awaiting
shipment. One could goupon any hill and
see 10.000 to .0,000 head grazing over the
plains like the "cattle on a thousand hills,"
in ancient times. But the railroads had
formed a pool, rates were raise , prices fell
off and sales could not be .madt. : several
hundred thousand cattle were wintered on
the Kansas prairies, and in the absence of
euficlest grain pawed nsustenance out of
the sleet that covered the plain, eating the
buffalo grass that lay beneath. There wasR
an immense loss, and the next year showed
a great falling off in the, number'. thht were
brought up from the Texas plains.
ElIlsworth, Kan., was next chosen as a
shipping roint, and then Dodge City, after
the building of the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe railroad. It was a oommno r6
mark that there wAs "No Spndal wes' or
Dodge City and no God eb"
The remark was held ap II la
year, when the trails began t their
t.estige by reason of the ath noth
Santa Fe and Itook Island roads m Kan
sena to Texas, and now with the entire dis
use of them will never again apply.
The essential feture of the canttle trail
was its patrons. ,l'he great herds of from
5,C00 to 10,000 long-horned Texas cattle that
wendedthelsfwpy over the chocolate-col
ored highway were not leass of a wonderful
sight than the circus parade that attracts
all eyes. 8tarting fro the grazingu
grouands the animals ezhibited soma
remarkable charaoteristis. Certain
lenders always kept the ed
vance, and tire sename animals were alwtys
found in about the same relative positions
from day to day. Traveling from four to
tetn abreastqthe herd 'stretched out for a
mite or more, with wide-hatted cowboys on
either side as uanrds, was a wonaderful
picture. Over hill and through valleys,
crossing rivers and plains, they stretch
cut, and woo to he whLo was in the way if

hbe cattle trails are now crossed by high
ways, railroads and fences, though the bar
ren lines may here and there be bseen. The
owns in which the cowboys disported at
the end of their journey are quite prosper
ous, agricultural cities, with a peaeeofl,
church-going population. Many of the
'old-timers" who were active in the "cattle
days" have retired on their then earned
riches and enjoy relating the events of thos
stirring times, experienou which will never
again have parallels in the life of the new
west's development.
METEOROLOGISTS,
Who Will Deelde When They Disagree, as
They Sometimes Do.
Meteorologists are like doctors, inasmuch
as it is difflcult to decide between them
when they disagree. A short time ago
some of the weather-wise came to the con
clusion that the coming winter is to be
even more severe than the last one. They
based this theory on various grounds,
among other reasons adduced being, first,
that the storks in Holland had unanimously
agreed not to extend their return tickets,
but to leave for the south at the earliest
moment; secondly, that the holly, ivy and
other hard-berried trees showed that
nature had provided a large store of food
for the birds; and, thirdly, that we had had
an exceptional plum year, and there is al
ways some occult connection between frost
and stone fruit, with many other reasons
which, doubtless, appear valid to the per
son who discovers them. To them another
class of meteorologists-which we may call
the optimist school-replies that if the
storks are leaving very early the swifts are
staying preternaturally late, and a swift is
quite as likely to. be right as
a stork, any way, and that this Sep
tember has been the warmest known
since 1784. the winter of whiot
year was one of the mildest on record; with
other cogent reasons to prove their case. It
is obviously difficult to tell which of these
two doctrines is right. Nature is ridiou
lously wasteful, as she may have caused a
lut inm the stone fruit and berry market
without arty after-intention. It would be
impossible for any bird to be as wise as a
stork'looks, but appearances are deceptive,
and the swift, though a much smaller biped,
is a more experienced traveler, and "keeps
a pretty good grip on the handful of things
he knows." On the other hand, Sep
tember has not kept up the
reputation it commenced with,
and snow in reported to have fallen
not only on Pilatus and the Rigi, but also
at Annecy, which rather looks as though
the pessimists were right in their prognos"
tications. Perhaps, on the whole, it would
be better if both classes obeyed the wise
apothegm which an American millionaire it
said to have invented, and never prophe
sled unless they knew. Weather reports
are only another form of statistics, and
statistics, as everybody knows, may
be made to tell whichever way the
statistician please. In meteorology it
is a bad rule that won't work
both ways, as Confucius is said to have re
marked when he tried to double up a two
foot measure in the wrong manner, and it
is just as easy to fnd precedence to make
your facts tell against what you wish them
to prove as it is to.make them tally with
your theory qui vivra verra. Those who
are alive next May will know which side
proved right, but that will not be the faint
est excuse for following their tip on a sec
ond occasion. In the meantime, it would
be just as well to lay in a good stock of coal
and firewood before the prices rise.-From

Stundnts often come to us, having been promised
