The farewell reception given Mr. A.
F. Masterman by members of the
Christian church last night on the eve
of his final departure fo.r his future
home in Arkansas City, was the scene
oS unusual experssion of regard.
Mr. Masterman has long been
known as a prominent member of the
congregation, having been one of those
who assisted in it- organization as a
charter member. \\ hen he decided to
go to Arkansas City two months ago
he parted with his friends here with
extreme reluctartce, a feeling shared
bv all who knew him. It was in the
Christian church whose numbers were
bound to him by the closest ties <>i
Christian fellowship 1 lal the deepest
regrets were manifest. He received
the invitation to a farewell reception
with no little emotion and when he met
his fellow-members last night at the
beautiful residence of W. H. Hampton,
on Rock Island, there were renewed
manifestations ol brotherly love which
fwould have touched tti. heart of any
worldling. Remarks were made by Dr
J. A. Hatchett and Messrs. Charle-
Engle, W. J. Montrief, and C. M.
Jackson, followed by a surpriV in
the presentation by Rev. Parker of a
b?hdsome silver tea set engraved a>

memories he was leaving that he was
irnbb tr express liis feelin s and bade
a tearful adieu to those who gathered

Fort Worth, Tex., July y.—T. A.
Emery, of Eas Cruce.-, N. M., in a re-
port oi southwestern range and cattle
conditions, says:
lu the southern part of New Mex-
i and Arizona, we have been up
against the real thing for the past six
months. We had had no rain since last
August, and everything is as dry as a
bone. The range is gone completely,
there is no grass and there lias not
been for months. CattUnicn were pret-
ty well stocked up last fall, and ship*
ments this year would have been heavy
but the drouth upset all their jdans,
an ^ they have been devoting their
time to saving as much as ttieir stuff
as possible. A little of tlie stuff was
shipped into California, where tin. re
wis some feed, but mere was not
enough for all, and it could not be
moved fast enough to save It. Cattle
ha\ been dying by the hundreds, and
the ranges are almost depleted. Stuff
was moved a- rapidly as possible, but
the bulk of il wa- too thin and weak
to •■hip, aifd there was liotnmg to do-
but to let it stray and dry up with the
country. The losses will be hard to
estimate, but I would feel safe In say-
ing that fully 50 per cent or more of
the stock on the range 111 our part ot
the country Crave died. Northern New
Mexico ha.- fared better. They have
had some rain and the stock is in pret-
ty good (condition. From our country
tin shipments this fall will be very
light if any at all, and cattlemen are
feeling pretty blue
"Few people realize hom important
the stock raising industry ha- become
in N Mexico. The Mock railing in-
dustry is the source of tin considerable
p< rtion of the income of, our people.
The industry is surrounded by con-
ditions peculiar to those of the art
west Most of th,- live stock must
find a market wholly outside of our
borders.
