the blizzard subsided today. The wind

Two Herds Certainly Lost.
HUGO, Col, Dec. 20. - The worst
blizzard in ten years has been raging
here for the last thirty-six hours, and
although the sky is clearing the wind
is still blowing a gale. The storm is a
particularly bad one for stock on the
range, as cattle are in poor condition,
one. One herd Of $500 head is report
ed lost three miles west of Hugo. A
Kansas City commission firm had 1,200
head of cattle on the way from the
southern part of the state to ship from
Hugo, and the men in charge of this
herd were compelled to turn the cattle
loose on the prairie. This will occasion
a heavy loss, as it will take many
weeks to regain the herd and many
cattle will no doubt perish in the storm.

ROOSEVELT AS
ARBITRATOR
Parties to Venezuelan Dis
pute Invite President
to Act as Such.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 90
President Roosevelt has proposed to the
allied powers that the Venezuelan dis
pute be submitted to the arbitration
of The Hague tribunal. The powers
have replied with a counter proposal
that President Roosevelt himself arbi-
trate the issues.
President Roosevelt does not wish to
act as arbitrator, for as such it is felt
here, he would be at once judge, jury
and constable and would be under the
moral obligation to execute his own
judgment. The president feels that
reference to The Hague tribunal would
vastly strengthen the cause of arbitra-
ton.
Still, rather than see the present dis
pute proceed to extremes, it is prob
able the president will assume the du-
ties of arbitrator. 1t is fully realized
that any decision rendered by him in
that capacity would be sure to bring
him the enmity of one or the other of
the parties to the controversy.
The presidents answer can only be
guessed at. However, 1T is believed to
be a safe prediction that he will renew
his suggestion that the case be sub
mitted to The Hague tribunal, adding
to the argument he has already pro-
duced the fact that the United States,-
having claims of its own against Vene-
zuela to the amount of about 100000,
is a. party in interest and it would be
unfair to put the president in the posi-
ton of having to arbitrate his own
claim.
LONDON, Dec. 20.-It is confirmed
here that an invitation has been sent
to President Roosevelt to arbitrate in
: the Venezuelan difficulty. It seems
oil 10 40 ar
to the presidents arbitration eInanated
from the German government. The
foreign office here says 1T has the
strongest reasons for believing that
President Roosevelt will decline to act
as arbitrator.
BERLIN, Dec. 20-The semi official
statement made tonight says: THE
invitation to President Roosevelt to act
as arbitrator was made after thor
ough consultation between Germany
and Great Britain. An understanding
has been reached by the two powers
on the reservations attached to the Of
fer, and the German note will agree
with the English note on all essential
points.
CARACAS. Dec. 20. = The British

A Pythian Pilgrimage.

One of the big movements of history
will be that of the Knights of Pythias of
the United States In August next, when
from all directions they will advance
on San Francisco and California. The
national convention of the order, which
is held everv two years, will take place
In San Francisco, Aug. 10th to Goth, and
great times are promised all the Knights
and their ladies who get there Mt that
time. Not only the members of the Or
der in California, but the State and city
officials are up and doing, and their
greeting to the visitors will be extended
with hospitality that will make every
one glad he is pilgrim. All sorts of
side trips are planned, incidentally, in
GLIDING sights of the orange groves and
the olive and prune and almond orchards
of the great Pacific State, and glimpses
of Lake Tahoe, one of the highest lakes
in the world, way up In the Sierra; Of
far-famed Y Yosemite; of Hotel del Monte :;
of the Lick Observatory, and hundreds

about. Just now the nation with its

they can, and see and learn about the
State that forms the nations western

Jackman Resorts.

Since last years hunting season closed
several important changes have taken
place 10 this popular resort. Indications
are that the time is not very far distant
when this excellent territory will pass
out OF the market as general resort for
all who wish to come and 90 under the
control OF a syndicate which will make 1t
In the nature Of a private club.
For several years past this has been
the tendency In this vicinity. The pur-
chase OF the famous old Parlin Pond
house by M. Piel, the Brooklyn brewer,
was with this end In view, and now G. S
Cook, of the firm Of A. II. Stowell & Co.,
Boston, seems to have a similar object In
mind.
Several years ago Mr.. Cook purchased
Kinne's sporting camps at Holeb, and
begun negotiations for Attean camps at
Attean, but this latter deal was not i'm
mediately consummated. During the
past winter, however, Mr., Cook has not
only acquired Attean camps, but Fred
HendersOn's sporting camps at Heald
pond and Aaron Wilson's Long Pond
sporting camps as we'll.
Head Pond camps are nine miles from
Jackman and Long Pond camps about
the same distance, down the Moose river.
These acquisitions give Mr.. Cook control
Of practically all the hunting and fishing
territory about town. There are a few
places, notably Mr.. Murtha's camps at
the headwaters of the South Branch of
the Penobscot, but they are very diff
cult of access.
1t is also rumored that Mr. Cook pro-
poses to erect a $4,000 hotel In Jack
man.
The extent of the territory controlled
by this Boston "camp king" will be seen
by these figures. In the preserve there
are accommodations for 800 sportsmen
and their families, 324 square miles of
territory, so miles of well cut trails, and
100 miles Of the Moose river. Mr.. Cook
calls his purchase "The Boston Ranch
Company, limited; sporting and recre-
alton outfit.
The camps at Holeb are at the head
waters Of the Moose river and from them
one may come in canoe to Moosehead
lake. The carries during the entire
journey are less than three miles, none
Of them of any length. The territory is
an exceptional one for canoeing.
