And the iceman, like Ibsen's button-molder, is death. As one of the men remarks: “There is a limit to the guilt you can feel and the forgiveness and pity you can take.” When the inmates of this place see Hickey's collapse, they rush back to ‘the solace of liquor and gvasion of reality, and the play ends with a cynical exhibition of maudlin behavior. If this is meant as a commentary on the hopeless outlook of the human race the implication is not driven home in the text. » - » A AS A WORK for the stage, this play has many merits; as a book to be read it leaves the mind unsatisfied. But Mr, O'Neill is a master in portraying the influence of one character on another and in this drama of rasping nerves tension is often achieved. The language, full of oaths and water-front jargon, exactly fits the mouths - from which it issues; a whole social stratum, comes successfully to life. There are many familiar O'Neill touches. The ballad that Willie, the Harvard man turned sot, sings in the first act serves a purpose simi-

Today the range is cut up and fenced in and towns have been biy
in the.Cherokee Strip, but the old| ranch store building still stands in Ponca City, and in it a man who grew up on the ranch and helped: make it go—Col. Zachary Taylor
Miller—runs a curio shop. »
» " COL. ZACK he is called in Ponca City. He is the son of the origingl owner, G. W. Miller, who \carv 101 ranch out of 60,000 acres leased from the Cherokees at 2 cents an acre. Donald Day of Ft.- Worth, Texas, found him there and dragged Fred Gipson out of Mason City to start Col. Zack talking. So “Fabulous Empire” is really Col. Zack's life story, and Mr. Gipson has told it in the breezy, salty western manner so that it reads as good and better than the “Westerns” concocted by writers whose only experience comes from a dude ranch. » ® “ YOU QUICKLY get the impression that in this freest of free eras —it must have lasted about 40 years —everything is vast. The cowhands were quick on the draw and handy with the lariat. Their Stetsons perched on their heads like shade trees and each exactly balanced a $20 gold piece on the scales, which was their price. When old G, W. Miller talked he bellowed, And if figures about cows and horses no longer startle you, think over what G. W. did with watermelons on the Cherokee Strip: » » - IN KANSAS CITY he came upon half a carload of watermelon seed refused by the consignee because it was too late to plant it. G. W. bought it for freight charges and took it home. He bought 50 hand corn planters and began planting watermelon seed in rows a mile long. When finished the 101 ranch had a watermelon patch covering 800 acres. “They never did cultivate the melons,” writes Mr. Gipson; “it rained too much. But at ripening time a man could stand at the edge of that field and see 60 and 70-pound watermelons just as far as his eye was good.” ” » - A NEIGHBOR warned people off his melons by putting up a sign: “Keep out! $5 fine for stealing melons.” G. W. countered with: “Help yourself to a melon. $10 fine if you don't get one” Most of the crop went to a Dallas seed company, which bought no melon: weighing ess than 50 pounds. But the wagon trains from the Miller patch were longer than those of the gold rush days. G. W. got on his feet, not by selling melons but by raising 75,000 bushels of wheat on 2000 acres. He seems to be one man who profited by Joe Leiter's famous corner in wheat in Chicago, celebrated in Frank Norris’ The Pit. Leiter ran the price up to $1.25 a bushel startling for those days, and G. W. made $90,000 and put the 101 ranch
in the black. . . »
BUT THIS book is not dull economie history. It bulges with good stories of trading and riding and is packed with tough, energetic, resourceful men who did just what they wanted to do. Nothing tender or soft about that outfit. When G. W. Miller died in 1903 he left 101 ranch to his sons as a 50,000-acre holding, asking them to keep it together. There were 200 hands and over 100 cow horses to handle the cattle on the range. Annual expenses reached $75,000, income between $400,000 and $500,000. And yet, up to that time, the whole land had been leased. After that 101 really became big. “In 1900 rodeo was still a Spanish word and little known among cowhands,” writes Mr. Gipson.
n » BUT THE cowboys were entering roping and throwing contests and 101 was sending some of its men to regional shows, “Will Rogers and Tom Mix were only two ‘of them.” Old 101 had many more that Zieg-
feld didn’t hire for his Follies. » » ®
