W As to re create an old time drive and let the Public help in driving the cattle to Market then sell the Herd and go Home. It sounded so simple. The original goal was 10.000 cattle and 5,000 riders but that proved too ambitious a goal for the drive which for a time bogged Down in logistics and personalities and almost died. Some of the financing and organization show Ingen ious modern twists. When Nelson Story brought the first great Herd from Texas to Montana in 1866. He paid the cowboys to help him. As latigo is paying the drovers. But the non professional riders who want to come on the Centennial drive arc paying latigo up to $150for meal tickets plus s25 to feed their horses and contributing a cow to the Herd besides. If they Don t have a cow. Latigo will rent them one or rent them a horse. Nelson Story hired a Cook. Latigo hired two catering companies.

Aids growth projected to jump in Urban areas by the Washington Pinsl Washington new cases of aids among drug addicts Are expected to begin to surpass new cases among homosexual men within the next year or two researchers predicted saturday at a meeting Here. The researchers also said the focus of the epidemic increasingly is shifting to poor drug Ridden Urban neighbourhoods. Aids will increasingly become a Dis ease of the inner cities of intravenous drug abusers their sexual partners an children and of poor Black and hispanic  said or. Harold Jaffe of the Federal centers for disease control addressing a meeting of aids researchers organized by or. Robert Gallo of the National cancer Institute. More than 40 percent of reported aids cases have occurred in Blacks and hispanics although the two groups constitute Only about 20 percent of the . Population Jaffa said. The disproportionate number of cases in these two groups has occurred because the vast majority of drug addicts with aids is Black or hispanic and because infected addicts often transmit the virus to their sexual partners or unborn infants. A mathematical analysis using reported aids cases to estimate the number of americans now infected with the human immunodeficiency virus his that causes aids suggests that about 1.2 Mil lion people carry the virus and that More than half of those infected arc Black or hispanic said Philip s. Rosenberg of the Sci. The cd has previously estimated that Between i million and 1.5 million americans arc infected with the virus. Jaffa said new cases of aids in Homo sexual men arc increasing More slowly than new cases in other risk groups. In los Angeles new York and san Francisco the number of new cases being reported in homosexuals has lev eled off since 1987, he said. An ongoing study of homosexual men in san Francisco also shows a remarkable decrease in infection rates. In the last two years the rate of new infections among men in the study has been 3 per cent or less compared with a High of 20 percent in 1982. At the same time the proportion of aids cases occurring through heterosexual transmission has risen slightly Jaffe said. It is now More than 4 percent of the total with most of the increase occurring in Black and hispanic women. As of july 31, the cd had recorded a total of 102,621 cases of aids and 59,391 deaths. The Agency predicted about a year ago that by the end of 1992, there will have been 365,000 cases of the disease with80,000 new cases expected in 1992 alone. Jaffa said in the year since the predictions were made reported cases have closely followed the cd s projections. Rosenberg predicted that beginning in 1990 or 1991, new aids cases will become More frequent among drug addicts than homosexuals and that by the end of 1992, new aids cases among Blacks will outnumber those among Whites.
