The time has come when civilization and the inarch of progress, led bv the great motors, steam and electricity have nearly obliterated from tho face of nature and this continent those features which were its distinct characteristics and furnished employment for a fast expiring race the Red Man of North America.

The Cowlx>y is a little more than a common herder.
