Prs.iacnt Springer Has High Opinioa Of
Its Value

It's Value.
President Springer of the National
Live Stock Association has received the
official quarantine map from Hon.
James Wilson. secretary of agriculture.
The maps show the boundary line of
the district infected with splcnetic and
southern fever. They are prepared by
the Bureau of Animal Industry. The
map shows that the nearest point ia
Denver. located south of the quaran-
tine line. is wichita Falls. Texas. Cat
tie from the other side of the line can
he transported to the market only for
immediate slaughter. In the opinion
OF stockmen the time will soon come.
however. when cattle shipped from the
Quarantined districts can be marketed
freely.
Mr.. Springer says that the tests
made by the government with the new
tick destroying solution have been sat
isfnctory beyond expectation.
when once the dipping stations are
established along the boundaries of the
quarantine district there will be no fur
ther need of slaughtering southern eat
tie as soon as they arrive at the north
ern markets. The new solution does
the work. and 1t is only n matter of
time until cattle from the quarantinctl
districts can be shipped anywhere
without danger of Infection.

with tho C m n, of Spring tho Worst
VIII Bs Known.
While generally known by cattle
meu. the public is upaware that. the
losses OF cattle and sheep In the recent
storms on the mountains will not be
as great as later In the spring when
the damp weather sets In. State
Veterinarian Gresswell has been In cor
respOndence with II number of Sheep
men and cattlemen OF the state to as
certain their estimates of loss. So far
nothing definite has been learned, III
though from experience In previous
years and statistics In possession OF
the office. the veterinarian Is qualified
TO speak. '.,
To Il News reporter yesterday he
said: '''rhc losses of range sheep will
not exceed 10 per cent. At the present
time over SO per cent. of the cattle of
this state are on feed. or the remain
ing 20 per cent. think the loss will
not exceed one In ten. which Is really
= per cent. OF the whole.
There has not been any reason for
n loss of either cattle or sheep on feed.
Even the sheep In the mountains are
accompanied by herders who, when
they can get their animals to hay. are
safe from loSs. .U.H 10Y.
'TEc real losses will come when the
spring weather sets In. The constt-
tutions of the animals are weakened
and even those on feed fail to main
tain their normal strength. Ii another

general In the state the animals would

Southeast New Mexico is On the
boom, because OF the railroad.i that
are being now constructed thrc Ugh II.
nnd the people Of Pecos valley cspeci-
ally are having Just occasion TO re.
joice. The last rail cn the extension OF
the Pecos valley line between Roswell
and Amarillo. Texas. has been laid,
and this week the road was opened for
traffic. Southeastern New Mexico Is
thus brought thirty-six hours nearer to
Denver than before. when the route
was either via Pecos City. Texas. and
Fort Worth. or via Peccs City to I'll
Paso and thence northward over the
Santa Fc. Now NIL this IL changed,
and Chavez and Eddy county people
go to Colorado direct via Amarillo. OF
to Kansas City over the Santa Fe from
Amarillo Junction instead of away
around by Fort Worth. Moreover.
there Is Ln immense amount of cattle
range tributary to this new line, and
cattle. instead of being shipped TO
Fort Worth. will be sent over this new
line to the feeding grounds In southern
Kansas. That this traffic l. of large
dimensions may be inferred from the
fact that from points west of the
quarantine line there were shipped
last year over the Texas II Pacific 1TJ,-
Oc0 head, over the Southern Pacific
100000 head. driven 10 Amarillo l52 :
COO head, to Panhandle City $4,000

ceivc hereafter.
The distance from Pccos City In
Texas. the southern terminal at pres.
ent. to Amarillo Junction. the northern
terminal Is 3T2 miles. AT Amarillo
Junction not only is direct connection
effected with the Southern Kansas line
or the Santa Fe. but 1t is generally
understood now that the Rock Island
will build south about $50 miles from
its Liberal. Kansas, terminal, to ANA

tion with Kansas City, and will make
such arrangements with the Pccos
company that the line from Amarillo

The American Canadian Joint high
commission adjourned on the Goth to
meet Mt Quebec. August 2nd. unless
the chairman of the respective COM
missions agree upon another date.
There We're several reasons which
prompted the action taken to-day.
From n statement made public, with
the sanction of the two commissions,
1t appears there were serious differ
ences of opinion between them regard
ing the important matter of the delim-
itation of the Alaskan boundary, the
Canadians in this connection being
anxious to obtain n seaport In Lynn
canal. so that its shippers would not
be subjected to the petty annoyances
which they asserted they experienced
at the hands of the United States off,
clnls. Then the time for the meeting
of the Canadian Parliament, Mt which
the presence of members of the COM
mission from that country is desired,
Is past, and the latter are anxious to
return MS soon as possible. It also
became apparent that there was little
likelihood of the ratification by the
United States Senate Mt its present ses-
sion of the treaty which might be
framed, which also probably figured
In the decision to adjourn. A dozen
important questions were referred to
the commission for Its consideration
and the commissioners assert that sub

tlons hns been made.

SOMETHING OF A TWlSTER.
THE WIND LAST SUNDAY PLAYED
HIGH JfNkS.
Wrought Havoc With Signs and AVN
ings-Front OF a Building Blown Out
aud Electric Light Poles Down.

The city narrowly escaped from be-
ing visited by a cyclone Sunday after
noon, and had it not been for the protec-
ton of the mountains considerable dam
age might have resulted. AS it was
only a heavy gust of wind struck the
city, twisting signs and tearing several
awnings that had been left down. The
front of the building formerly occu-
pied by Bowie's drug drug store, on up
per Broadway, was entirely blown out
and thrown across the sidewalk. The
hose drying tower at Firemans hall had
a narrow escape, and it swayed sutfi-
GENTLY to make the fire bell ring.
On the head of California street the
electric light pole was blown down and
the street light smashed all to pieces.
The storm came up from the south and
was met here by an electric storm hav-
ing it's origin in the direction of the
head of Marshal creek. The storm
clouds began circllng over the city
about 2 o'clock and had every indica-
ton of being driven by heavy winds.
The protection afforded the city by
the neighboring hills undoubtedly saved
much property from being destroyed
and prevented the twister from getting
hold on the city. The storm passed or
in a northwesterly direction, following
the mountaid range.

make it conform with the name of the
city, and all postoffice stationery will in

many years the department had insisted
on spelling Philipsburg with two "ls, )"
while the residents of the city used only
one. The change sets at rest contro-
