SCHEME TO SCARE WOLVES.

Kept At Bay at Night by . Patent Gun.
Examiners in the patent office have
learned by experience that 1t is q mis-
take to jump at conclusions regarding
the usefulness Of inventions, says the
Presbyterian Banner. A contrivance
at which they were inclined to poke a
good deal Of fun designed to frighten
wolves on western prairies was patent
ed less than three months ago, and al
ready 1t has come into considerable use.
In the sheep-growing districts In that
part of the country.
The device Is an automatic gun,
which goes Off at regular intervals,
soaring the wolves away from the
fOcks. 1t consists of a sort of box
which contains a clockwork attachment
with n small steel barrel projecting
from one end. A magazine, also with
the box is loaded with blank cart
ridges, which are fired by the clock
work once in ten minutes or so. b. the
help Of simple mechanical attach
ment the intervals between discharges
are made us long or us short as may be
desired. u N
Wolves do not attack sheep in the
daytime, and the gun needs to be In op-
Grafton only from sunset to sunrise. 1t
Is at the period Of lambing,. that the
flocks are In danger, the fierce wolves
raiding them and carrying of the lamb

scribed is intended to be employed ex.

BEGINNING OF THE SUIT
TO TEST THE REVENUE LAW

Pueblo, Colo, July 8--Without form
ally making his ruling on the states
application for a change Of venue in
the proceeding brought to test the
new revenue bill, Judge N. Walter Dix
ON of the Pueblo District Court indi-
Gated so clearly that he will deny the
motion In the morning that attorneys
for the state and for the various rail-
roads entered into an agreement by
which the arguments ON the states de-
murrer will be taken up next Monday.
Arrayed on the side of the state when
court opened this afternoon there were
in addition to Attorney General Post
and Assistant Attorney General
Caesar Roberts, H. s. Morrison and
Senator Il. NJ. Patterson, whose ap-
pearance in the case was entered after
formal opening Of the proceedings this
afternoon. Representing the petition
Ing railroads were Willard Teller,
Charles Il. Cast. G. Z. Harrington, Ii.
A. Dubbs and G. W. Waterman.
As preliminary to the argument on
motiop for change of venue to Arap-
ah0e county, Attorney General Post
filed with the court n demurrer pro-
testing in the first instance against as
sertion of jurisdiction in the case by
the District Court of Pueblo and de-
murring to the proceedings on five sep
arate grounds. In the first place, on
the grounds that the court has no
Jurisdiction Of the persons of the re-
spondents or Of the subject matter of
the action: second, that the court has
no Jurisdiction of the person of the re-
sp0ndent, james Il. Orman, governor
of Colorado, since the governor is
made a party respondent in his official
executive capacity; finally, In general
terms that the writ does not state suf-
ficient cause for action.
Attorney Morrison opened the argu-
ment for the state on the melton for
change of venue, contending for the
allegations set up In the motion filed
last Saturday. Judge Dixon speedily
made it clear that under the law his
view was that the question of change
Of venue depended on construction of |
the statutes permitting the bringing of |
mandamus proceedings in county in |
which the whole or part Of the cause
of action arose. Judge Dixon then

WONDERFUL GROWTH OF OUR
AGRICULTURAL EXPORTS

Washington. July 9.-Frank II.
Hitchcock, chief of the foreign market
section Of the Agricultural Department,
has compiled statistics showing the
distribution of the agricultural ex-
ports of the United States for the years
1S.H-19OO. He shows that there We're
a dozen countries in 1900 to each of
which the United States exported over
S1O,OOO,OOO worth of domestic products.
The United Kingdom purchased Si0S,-
100000 and Germany Sl3I, 100000
worth.
Our agricultural exports TO the Unit
ed Kingdom We're the largest on rec
ord, excepting those OF the eNtraordin-
ary year of 1898, when value of
Si39, 100000 was attained.
In our trade with Germany, the ex-
ports for 1900 were decidedly In excess
of any previously reported. and show
an increase Of nearly 100 per cent. In
the five years period.
Next in order TO the above named
countries In 100 were the following:
The Netherlands. S52,0O0.OO0. these
figures being exceeded only In 1899 by
less than Sl,0O0.OOO: France, Si5,O0O.-
600; Belgium, S.sI.OO0.OOO, as against
S31 100000 In 1896 TO France, and SlS,-
100000 to Belgium during the same
year: Italy. S2i.0OOOO0: Canada, s2l.-
100000; Japan. over Sl5.0OO.0OO; Den
mark. nearly Sl5,000.Oo0; Cuba. S1I..
0OO,OvO, ms against Sl,0O0,000 In 1896;
Spain, S10.500.O0O. MS against n trifle
less than S10,o00,000 In 1896; British
Africa. S10.300.OOO.
Exports ranging In value from S..
h55,OO0 down went TO more than n
dozen other different countries.
The total exports .f domestic farm
products to Cuba. Porto Rico. Hawaii
and the Philippine Islands In 1900 had
an aggregate value OF over 100000
ms compared with only SG,2oO.000 In
1896.

cause of action in this case. Mr.. Nor
rison urged that the entire cause Of
action was In Arapahoe county and
concluded his argument by urging the
greater convenience of trial of the case
In Arapahoe county. This caused
Judge Dixon to suggest that geograph-
1cally Pueblo county Is the most con-
venient of access from all parts Of the
state, and therefore in the matter of
| convenience the natural county since
the personal attendance of the re-
spondent officers under the bill would
probably not be required.
Senator Patterson was entered as of
counsel for the state, ard after paying
tribute to Pueblo county entered up.
on discussion of the points involved.
lie read the statute to show that the
alleged failure of the state officers to
act as board of equalization was the
cause Of action and that was neces-
sarily confined to Arapahoe county.
He urged the right of the state officers
to the change asked. Attorney General
Post followed out the same line of mr.
gument and then @. w. Waterman of
counsel for the Denver & Rio Grande
railroad replied to the attorneys for
the state. His contention was that the
cause Of action Is in Pueblo county
since the meeting of the State Board
Of Equalization In Denver IA only pre-
liminary to the filing Of assessment
rolls for railroads in the various coun-
ties. Mr.. Waterman entered Mt length
into the law, after which Willard Tel
Ter reinforced the position taken by
Mr.. Waterman. Attorney General
Post made u brief closing statement
for the state and Judge Dixon an
nounced that he would take the matter
under advisement until tomorrow
morning.
In making this announcement Judge
Dixon said the application for
change of venue seemed either like a
decided reflection upon the Pueblo
court or like great compliment to
the Arapahoe county court. He said
the case before him involves matters
of greatst moment to all the people Of
the state and that an action to test the
revenue law, which is the purpose Of
this proceeding. might in one way or
another be filed in any or every coun-
ty in the state.
