A NOVEL SWINDLING SCHEME,
All Sorts of Items by Wire from
All the Winds that Blow,
Domestic and Foreign.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
LONG ISLAND CRY, N. Y, December
27.-Inspectors OF the Bureau of Animal
Industry of the United States have un-
earthed novel swindling scheme. 1t
has been the custom since the Bureau
extended its operations to Queens
county for all cattle killed, because of
being infected with pleuro-pnemonia TO
be appraised and paid for out of the
United State Treasury. The appraised
value has averaged $35. The swindle just
discovered enabled the perpetrators to
pocket from $40 to SIS each for large
number of cattle condemned and slaugh-
tered. Sw;ndlers would procure small
farms in the towns of Newton and
Jamaica, send frcm New York or othtr r
places droves of cattle purchased at about
S25 per head. Carcasses of some COWS
which had died of pleuro- pneumonia
would then be obtained and exposed
near the cattle a sufficient length of time
to insure innoculation with the disease
Inspectors visiting the farm would
find the herd infected and appraisement
and slaughter would follow. Although
the inspectors have no doubt whatever
that the owners of the cattle have per-
petrated deliberate swindle, they have
been unable to obtain conclusive evil
dence to warrant arrest. In order TO
prevent any more such swindllng the
Chief Inspector has decided to pay for no
more infected cattle. 1t is believed that
the Treasury has been defrauded of be-
tween 81 900 to 50 900 by dishonest cattle
dealers during the past year. One man
alone had three herds condemned.

To the Editor OF the Gazette.
"As to himself he would say that the

THE TEXAS LUMBER TRADE.

TIE TEXAS LUMBER TRADE.
Denver Republican: One result Of the
opening of the Fort Worth and Denver
road will be to creste large trade be-
tween Texas and Colorado in lumber ana
hard woOd.I
AT present the supply OF lumber in Den
yer comes chiefly from the mountains Of
this state and the pineries Of Wisconsin
and Michigan. But Colorado lumber is
not very good, and that brought from the
east is so costly as to make its extensive
use great tsx and burden upon builders.
This, by the way, accounts in large
degree for the fact that nearly all the
houses built in Denver are Of brick or
stone.
In Ist Texas and Louisiana there arc
immense pine and cypress forests that
are capable Of supplying millions Of fest
of lumber for many years. OfI4te much
attention has been attracted to them, and
northern cspltal has been invested in
their purchase,
The lumber Of these forests Is that
which will come to Denver over the Fort
Worth Road. TIE pine is Of Il long,
lesi variety, and it makes hard, bnt very
strong and durable lumber. The cypress
is not go good, nut it is coming into fsvar
IS the piLeries Of the northwest are grad
uslIY bsiug cut down.
The distance from tie pine regions Cf
Eastern Texas TO Def er is less than thai
which Chicago lumb has to traverse IL
coming from the pineries to this place.
This Will Ct itself give some advantage to
the Texas product.
Undoubtedly Inc management OF the
Denver, Texas and Cult Railway IN order
to com pe;e with the roGds from Chicago
will make low rste on lumber from
Texss. If this is done. the lumber bust
ness in Denver will grow TSpidly and at
tain to large proportions.
The disposition on the part CT the ma
tlopal government to protect the forests
In the r lcky Mountains is another factor
that should be counted in this .calcula-
ton.
The tendency will be to.restrict the OPP
GRAFTON Of mountain SAW mills to the low
est product possible. This will prevent
the lumber regions Of Colorado from be-
ing drawn On to Hny great extent in order
to supply the demand which is Increasing
with The settlement OF the country, Chi
cago End Texas will therefore have to
be locked to ss SOURCES Ct supply. Sc
that this Texas lumber trade has the pros
pect OF being permanent, and Of being
better twenty gears from nov than it is
to-day.

The Sugar Tar.
Philadelphia Record,


The sugar tax is one OF the lesst cp
pre- ,sive Of the tariff taxes, for the resson
that seven eighths OF it goes into ;hs fed
ersl treasury snd is applied to the ex-
pe1ses Of government which, In any
event, the taxpayer Is compelled to bear
The taxes which are most grievous are
those, like the steel rail tax, which cost
the taxpayers many millions Of dollars,
but which do not go into the public treas
uIy or aid in the payment Of public deots
or expenses. But the danger Of
protective taxation is notably illustrated
by the advantage that has been taken Of
the sugar tax by the Sugar Trust in order
to fleece the consumers Of sugar. 1t has
been estimated that the advance in price 8
tffected by the operations OF the Sugar
Trust will s6d to the cost of This neces-
ssry article $50, coo, 900 year. Oicourse,
s repeal Of the olty on refined sugar
would break down the price TO the Euro
