FoLrchy B S S OLD RANCH HOUSES PASSING Thelr Dlmppearan&u Be Regretted ‘for Many Reasons, but the Change Is Inevitable. Some people do not like to see the old, historic ranch houses in southern Texas go. 'Tlrere is a pity In it: They, are eloquent, even though many of them are in. ruins, of a romantic epoch in the history of the state. Many of these ranch homes were built dur- ing the period of the Spanish control of Mexico and were of feudal type and on large land grants of feudal ex- tent. .These bulldings were succeeded by the less pretentious but spacious and comfortable ranch houses of the later” cattlemen. Every one of _them was a center of pioneer life, the stop- ping place of, cattlemen and travelers passing through the country, and the hospitality of the occupants of them all is.a t‘radltlon. . The great ranch reglons are being broken up Into, smaller ranches and then- into still smaller, farms, and a new order ‘of ‘life but makes them an incumbrance. - But: it is' as -yaln to sigh over them as over the disap- pearance of the oceans of prairie and the: buffalo, The latter existence is tamer, but more profitable. The sub- stitution~of herds of cattle - in - the, hands. of many- proprietors for the: herds of buffalo, and the plowing up of the wild prairie for the crops of the fixed settler represent an- inestimable gain. The wild and the picturesque vanish before plain utility and indus- try, but more people are ‘_served and madeé happler In .the same territory. Those. old days will glways be inter- esting to read about, but they were intermediary and had to pass away fof the greater good of thé greater num- Some of these ranch homes of the older and the later order are main- tained in repair when their continued usefulness is -desirable and practi- cable. Some of the abandoned places £0 accidental fire, some by the slow proce: of decay and some are re- moved for specific purposes. It Is sug- gested that the memory of those that must disappear be preserved in photo- graphs and that notes of the stirring events and life of which they were the centers he taken for extension in- to annals. This Is the best that can be done. The new cannot be grafted into the old and the old must pass idto history.—Omaha World- Herald. vy ' DAYLIGHT MAKES FINNS |55 i A NAT“)N 0F ATHIHB it oa ar)"u:,meernauon is as a ‘ship with- tion, & parliament or any genuine cohesion between the various provin- ces this vast country presents a spec- tacle as sad as that of Mexico.
