For tlie season of 1871 we published a pamphlet entitled New Cattle Route to the North and East." Thereto we set forth the advantages to drovers of driving hither. At that time we were comparatively unknown to drovers, and had veteran Kailroads in the business to compete with. But the natural advantage to the drover that our situation afibrded both in driving to and shipping from, and the superiority of our grazing ground induced drovers to abandon the line of other roads and move to our point, inasmuch as they found hero not only better grazing and wintering facilities, but a.uct-ter class of buyers. And from the satisfaction expressed by our pat rons, we are led to believe that Coffey vi lie will be the point vlieri the bulk of Texas cattle will be driven during the coming season, and in victv of this have taketrgrcat care in selecting good cattle routes leading hither from Texas. leather is made by steeping bides in an infusion of certain vegetable substances which contain a compound called tannin.

The cheapest source of- this tanning principle is oak bark, but it is found greater or less quantity in many other plants, as in the grape, the hop. coffee, ten, and lrorii these it can bo dissolved out with water. The skins of animals consist mainly of albumen and galatine: indeed these substances are abundant in all animal matter. In he blood and in the milk the albumen is merely suspended, as it were, in the water which constitutes by far the larger portion of these fluids. Tannin and albumen have a remarkable affinity for each other, and unite as soon as they are brought in contact.

The result of their union is the insoluble, tough material which gives leather iis distinctive character. When the h'de is steeped In the infusion of oak bark, the albumen of the fjnrmer bus combines with the tannin the latter, and the loose, soft tissue of the skin is converted into hard, tough leather.

After crossing the Arkansas the drover may camp anywhere, nature having designed "it as it were for stock purposes.

Hitherto the groat bulk of the Texas cattle trade and drive has. for questionable reasons, been confined to the line of country both in Kansas and the Indian Territory lying west of the 96th meridian. This includes that portion of the Indian country wherein no tax is made on cattle passing through; also, that part of Kansas where the prohibitory law does not apply. In this zone are situated the two shipping points, Abilene and Newton, on he lines of the K. 1.

Owing to the absence of anv law for the collection of debts in the Indian country, and the prohibitory law of Kansas and Missouri as to driving within the State the drover, oil arriving at the several points, finds it difficult to borrow the necessary funds to pay ofl his surplus men and obtain supplies. With the merchant "business is business," and he naturally wants security for his wares, while on the other hand the drover has invested all- his money in cattle, and trust to a ready sale, on arrival at his destination, for the necessary funds to relieve his immediate wants. In view of this, and in order that the drover may sutler no inconvenience, or be coin pel led to force his cattle on the market, the management of the L.

Eldridge and Skinner," ti late proprietors of the liroadv. ay Hotel in Kansas City.

Several other hotels are located at the same poiut. Daily Bulletins (received by telegraph) of the markets at Kansas City, St. Louis and Chicago, are there posted, making a favorite rendezvous for buyers and sellers. In addition to the country contiguous to the terminus of this road, which offers superior facilities for wintering cattle, the Leavenworth, Lawrence and Galveston Bailroad will arrange with such drovers as may desire it, to ship their stock part of the way to Kansas City, for wintering, and to take them forward in the spring, at rates which shall be no greater than their present rate of through freight, Tlie season of 1871 was in many respects an unprofitable one to drovers and railways. The causes were many, and are well known, the chief one the long continued drouth through be western and middle States, obliging regular dealers as well as farmers to market their native stock from inability to procure feed and water.

This threw on the market so much beef that prices for western and Texan cattle had to decline in order to meet the prices ruling in the larger markets. Another main reason may be given in the poor condition in which Texan cattle were put on the market, fresh from a long drive, poor, their market consequently declining. Early frosts injured the late grazing, obliging many to hold over until spring. And to add to all this, an exceedingly hard winter for ptock has proven fatal to vast numbers of wintering cattle, so that the spring of 187'2 finds the north with a less number of cattle than for years before. These causes, unfortunate in themselves, cannot but.

prove beueticial to the drive for 1872, and it may be confidently expected that prices will rule good for even the spring did ve. Drovers crossing Red Kivcr will keepalwiysin a northerly direction, to the valley of th Verdigris Kivcr. This will take them to the westward of the heaviest settlements of the Indian Territory, affording the finest grazing the entire distance, through a region abounding with timber and water, and entirely avoiding the flint hills and rough districts of the Ozark range. The point at which the great cattle trail closes upon the southern terminus of the L. G.

is only 175 miles south-west from Kansas City. Here extensive yards are provided, and everv facility afibrded for the loading of cattle, and for their proper care while awaiting shipment.

Within the last six years, Kansas City has grown from a small village to a city ot 40.000 inhabitants, and the centre of no less than eleven different lines of railroads, ami it is fast becoming the great cattle mart of the West and will, without doubt, soon enjoy a large portion of the trade which the famous Union Stock Yards of Chicago so long monopolized. Yards are being constructed at Kansas City even more convenient than those at Chicago, and as perfect in every particular. Purchasers from all parts of the Union come there to buy, and it cannot be doubted that it will be the point where a large portion of the stock raised west of the Mississippi States will eventually change hands.

The cars of the Leavenworth, Lawrence Galveston Boad run directly to those great stock yard-, where; their freight may be discharged without delay, or transferred to the tracks of the other numerous roads centering there, for reshipment to their final place of destination. The stock cars, most in use by thi line are known as the combination car," securing at once to the stock free ventillation. and also protection rom storms. These cars have been thoroughly tried, and have met the unanimous approval of stock men. The line of road has made additional purchases of cars for the season of 1872, and oiler them as one of the inducements offered by this road.

In the matter: of stock pens and shipping yards, lliis road is fully up to the high standard it maintains in rolling stock. Those dealers avIio have had occasion to visit Chicago could hardly fail no admire the Union StOck Yards of that city. They were devised and built by the present Chief Engineer of the L. ('. R.

and the yards to he erected at the shipping terminus of tbis road will be of the same pattern, and as substantially built as those referred to. It is well known to drovers that during the past year a charge for loading cattle has been made at most Of the shipping points on other roads. This Coinpanv, believing that this tax for T. B.

It is by far the best way of gctl ing up a flirtation, which is not unpleasantly done" under the parental eye when such eyes are kindly and benignant. Love making is an uncommon pleasant enjoyment for the winter nights. You may talk of the perils of young men when they come up to town but there is no better safeguard thar giving such young fellows he associations of home and sweet women.

Parents make an immense mistake in taking too severely a monetary view of a young fellow's prospects. 1 never new a young fellow under so dull a cloud, who, with purpose and ability, could not work his way out into tiie sunlight.

First he thought he would go into the sleeping car, but learning that that vehicle was in charge of the conductor who had so uneer-uioniously terminated the whilom Confederate Chiettaiu's little wedding on the European dan, he changed his mind, and thought he would insult his sleeping car conductor and take a seat elsewhere. he told Mr. Trice that he was a liar and a scoundrel.

cattle routes arc marked it for the drover's guidance in reaching the terminal points of the various Railways competing for the Texas cattle trade. The greater part of the cattle leaving Texas for the northern market cross Ited river near the mouth of Mud creek, in Montague county. From this point northward to the Bed Fork of the Arkansas river we have what is known as the Chisholm trail. On reaching BedFork the drover has at his option the northern route to Abilene, or the one leading to the terminus of the L. G.

K. at Coffeyville, Kansas. By the latter route, lie turns to the right at a point nine miles north of Red Fork crossing, or may follow the right or southern bank of the Bed Fork to its intersection with the Arkansas river, and crosses the latter about two miles below the mouth of the Bed Fork, or at any of the numerous good fords below. He is then in the Cherokee nation, west of and not far from the Verdigris river. His course is then due north to the State line.

It is also recommended that he continue up the west side of the Verdigris, as the grazing is better, and the crossings of the Verdigris below the State line arc brushy and difficult. Other routes maybe mentioned offering equal facilities to the drover. The one now regarded the best, leaves the Chisholm trail near head of Bush Creek, bears northeasterly and crosses the Canadian river at White's store, thence to Okmulgee, from thence to Ganos crossing, thence due north to Ooflev ville. Another good route is by Spanish Ford. Arbuckle, Cherokee town, and White's store.

Drovers crossing Bed river in the vicinity of Shermai Texas, have choice of two routes: one northeasterly by Tishimingo, thence to White's store, on tho Canadian, and another northeast through he Choctaw nation. This Choctaw route is a good one, if the drover keeps the trail bearing northward those bearing easterly are more brushy. This route has one serious objection, however. Tie Choctaws impose a very heavy tax on all cattle passing through their territory. For the same reason it is recommended to avoid the Osage territory.

It is the cattle and not the grass which winter kill" in the West, thus affording the railroad perhaps a profitable trade in hides, but a sorry encouragement to the drover. In passing through some portions of the Indian Territory much inconvenience is had from prairie flies.

These flics only obtain during very hot seasons, such as the past one has been, and then only for a short period of the summer. However, in the event of their recurrence the coming season, the zone of country they infest may be avoided by following the trails that-pass about twenty miles west of the confluence of the Verdigris, Grand and Arkansas rivers or follow any of the routes laid down on the map, leading to Coffeyville and herein recommended, as none pass through the fly country. A glance at our map, will, Ave think, convince any person ol the advantage to the drover in making th terminus of the L. G. at Cofley ville, Kansas, his objective point.

Aside from the advantages the routes leading to this point possess over the old western trails, it will be seen that this is the nearest shipping point in Kansas on the State line, while on the other hand we are as near the great markets as any shipping point. On arriving here, the drover finds himself at the centre a number of rail roads, all competing for his patronage; three roads on the east, anil two on lie west. Should he find it to his advantage to ship by either of these other lines, he is then being central at. the best point from which to radiate, being but thirty miles from Chetopa, fifty miles from Baxter Springs, and forty-five miles from Visit the three shipping points east of Coffey ville. while on the northwest of Cofley ville, Newton is eighty miles, and Abi cue is one hundred end twenty-live miles distant.

From the terminus of the L. G. the nearest point on the Kansas Pti-eitie Railroad is Abilene, 125 miles, and distant from Kansas City 162 miles. The ncare-t point on the Atchison. To-peka to Santa Fe Railroad is at new-ton, 80 miles; distant from Kansa-Cify 200 mihs.

The stock trains of the G. line run over the road from the State tine to Kansas City in eleven hours. This will save the shipper a fortnight in time over the Abilene, and a week over the Newton route. A saving in which shippers will not fail to see their during the warm days of July and August. Nor must it be forgotten that the oltl cattle trails of Kansas are now close to settlements of people bitterly hostile to the passage of Texas cattle through their country.

The advantages from the superior grazing along the trail, freedom from timber or underbrush, absence of Ikes and tivks, abundance of pure water at convenient distances, rendering long, exhausting drives unnecessary, country free from flinty rooks and steep breaks, are such that cattle driven by this route arrive at their destination iii better condition, and therefore command higher prices than those driven by other routes. The older routes, which have hitherto had a monopoly of this trade, are forced continually to change their shipping stations on account ot the tide of emigration to Kansas and locating upon the lines of railways, who, as they STOVES, Fire Insurance effected in the following reliable companies S.
