SEVERE WEATHER FOR SHEEP
Result of the December Storm on the
Herds at Camp Verde

AS q result Of the severe snow storm
early in December at Camp Verde and
the surrounding country, over five per
cent of the sheep have been lost. Tho
sheep in that section had been mObi-
liked from Navajo, COcOninO and Othe~
northern counties CT the territory f5r
the purpose Of shearing. The immedi-
ate loss was incOnsiderable, but the
fOrty-tWO inches of snow which fell in
the three days completely shut off all
the feed brush as well as the grass
which until that time had been ample
to supply the needs OF The immense
beds and il this manner the sheep
were famished causing the lambs and
feeble sheep in the herds to drop off
one by one until the snow and mud dis
appeared.
During the three days Of storm the
snow was binding and a peculiar fac5
relating to the occurrence was that
the snowfall was greatest on the low
lands and not on the hillsides. During
the storm and for some hours after
ward the mercury dropped as low as
% degrees below zero.
There were probably $4,000 sheep in
the locality at the time and in order to
save the vast herds it became necessary
for the kCrdsmen to beat the snow

starving sheep. c. J. Houch, one Of
the sheepIlen, who at the time had
charge Of his herd, relates the trials
and tribulations he encountered
wherein he stated that in the process
Of beating the snow from the bushes
his legs were continually wet for
seventeen days and that travel was SO
slow that it required eighteen days for
his focks to move three miles.
After the SHOW cleared away there
was coed feed. but not an abundance,
and the herders were disappointed in
finding so little feed below that place
on Squaw creek. which they had
looked tC for relief A number of the
sheep were driven down to Paradise
valley, which is situated about fifteen
miles northeast Of Phoenix, in this
manner creating a smaller demand for
feed about Camp Verde, which is now
able to supply food to the renal lining
stock which is now in a hellthful con
ditiOn. Shearing will begin among the
northern herds in about three days,
while preparations are being made to
shear the stock abou. Paradise valley

there is no plan equal to the building

month and in a few years he has accu-
mulated several hundred dollars. He
n3ver misses the monthly payment and
when he comes to get it, it seems like
finding it. During all this time he has
received interest on the small amount
laid aside mcnthIy. This he could
have done by no other plan. If he
wished to loan his savings, he would
have to wait until he accumulated. say
500, and then take his chances on the
lean being safe. A member can with
draw at any time, or he can borrow the
full withdrawal value of the stock. it
is therefore better than a savings bank,
fer you receive more interest, and you
have the advantage of being able to
draw your money at any time.

HAS FAITH IN ALASKA.
Ex-Marshal Meade VIII Return to the
Ice and Gold

Hon. w. K Meade, ex-United States
marshal, arrived in the city last Mon
day from the east and spent several
days here before going on to San Fran
cisco, says the Arizona Frontier.
Though reduced somewhat in flesh and
with traces of the hard Alaskan trip
still perceptible, he looked and felt re
markably well. Mr.. Meade has great
faith in the gold fields of Alaska and
proposes to return about May. He eX-
pscts news early next month from his
men now On the ground and working
claims On the Forty Mile river, ana
should it be favorable he will strike out
Immediately and SO in over the ice. 1t
IS his deliberate judgment that, there
is plenty OF country in Alaska as rich
as the EfDOrado section andhe believes
the American side will open up and de-
valop immense gold beds. While in
Alaska Mr.. Meade closely investigated
the gold output. examined innumer-
able claims, finds, strikes, etc, and his
judgment is well worth considering
and weighing. His description of the,
trip and of the rush to tbs gold coun-
try is most graphic and interesting ana
he DrOnOunceS it an experience worth
the risks and the tolls, though he saw
many poor fellow lose everything he
possessed in the world at the White
Horse rapids after getting in sight of
the goal almost Many an outfit. how
ever, went through these treacherous
waters without guides, knowledge or
boat slill-men trusting their all to
luck, or without a rsaliZa ion Of the
danger, or with no means to pay for
help. By the coming summer these
hardships and perils will be almost en-
tirely eliminated as a railroad and
steamboats, will do the trick" for you.
Mr. Meade is certainly very sanguine
of making q killing in gold this year,
and his uncounted friends sincerely
wish his success to equal his courage
and energy and ability.

Some administration organs are be-
ginning to admit that the situation in
the Philippines is not at all like they
had been painting it; that Gen. Otis
campaign has proven a disastrous fail
ure and that many thousands more
troops are needed as soon as they can
be gotten in shape. All of which was
revealed by truthful statements of the
situation long ago-so long ago, in

been different had Otis been promptly

AN IMPORTANT SUBJECT.

The Register has already called at
tention to the fact that the census OF
1900 will show that West Virginia has
a population of at least a million.
This will sntitle her under the reap
- (nment to be made by the Fifty
Congress to one represen-
in the national legislature, or
total Of five, a representation to
: which the States great and varied in
terests are certainly entitled in the
councils of the nation.
OF course, this will require the rad
ical redistricting of the State in order
to supply the Fifth Congressional dis
trict. This will be work of the utmost
Importance to the vast interests of the
State and its people and should be ac-
complished not on partisan political
lines in the interests Of any. political
party. but with a view to serving the
best interests of all the people and as
far as possible providing equal and
fair representation.
In view of these facts it is a matter
fors GENERALIZATION to West Virginians
of all parties that the present I'M
\scrupulous gang of politicians in con-
Irol of the State government will prob
bly, have died their political deaths
ng ere that time, because the Regis
+ believes that ere then honest Re
hlicans will have sickened of their
leadership, which has had for
feet the personal advancement of
gang first and last, regardless of
any interests of the people or ever the
true political interests of the Repub-
lican party for that matter.
1t would be a serious calamity to
the State and its great and manifold
business interests to have these I'M
%scrupulous bosses, who now complete
ny dominate their party, in power
when the new order of things shall
come to pass. The only way to GER
tainly guard against this misfortune,
pirates at the first opportunity. If
they or their friends are permitted to
continue in power and office beyond
mother election the chances are they
will SO hedge themselves about with
safeguards that it will be doubly diff
icult for the people to dislodge them,
.or politics is their business, they I'M
ierstand it thoroughly and are utter
" INSCRIPTIONS in its practice.
Even o the Wheeling organ, the
