It is alleged in Washington press dispatch that the convention of the | American Federation of Labor, which meets Tn New Orleans today, will wit ness contest between the respective forces supporting Samuel Gompers and John Mitchell for president of the fed eration. For some time there have been two distinct elements in the fed eration, one known as trades autonO- mlsts and the other as trades expan- sionists. President Gompers is in fa- vor of the autonomy and freedom of each individual union. The trades ex- pansionists desire to amalgamate under one head all unions working to pro. duce common product. In the con vention there will be 7,500 voting dele gates. The Mitchell men, or trade ex- pansionists, are said to control at least 3, 400 votes, while President Gompers expects to align fifty-eight different in ternatlonal unions for individual auton- omy, with an aggregate of 3,727 votes. Much will depend upon whether Mr. Mitchell makes an aggressive contest for the office. President Gompers has been at the head of the federation for fifteen years

It now looks as though the people of Salt river valley would succeed in the endeavor to enlist the aid of the fed eral government to build the proposed storage dam below the mouth of Tonto creek, and system of irrigation works to provide larger and more certain supply of water for the irrigation of Salt river valley lands. The success of the plan to harmonize the various land and canal interests of the valley and merge them into an organization that will bind itself to reimburse the national government for the S2, 900, 900 or more required to be expended in the construction of the works, seems reasonably ssured. The importance of the project may be judged by the estimate made by Arthur P. Davis, of the United States geological survey, that the Tonto dam will store water sufficient to irrigate 1S0,000 acres of land in the Salt river valley.

Sheep GraEInR Permits.

The following notice to sheepmeu was sent out last week by F. A. Breen, superintendent of the San Francisco. Grand Canyon and Black Mesa forest reserve:
 "A decided change has been made in the method of handling applications for sheep grazing permits the coming year. Last year the division of range and the number of sheep each owner was allowed to graZe was decided upon by the Wool Growers association, with a reservation that the interior depart meut could readiust same if it saw lit. By an order of the honorable secretary of the interior, dated October 24, 1902 the Wool Growers aSSOcia tiOn IS now eliminated from the matter of allot- mentS and other control, and the graz ing is placed directly in the hands of the forest supervisors, under the same rules as heretofore existing, imposing the same penalties and obligations as last year.
 When the sheep grazing ques tiOn is settled for 1903, and the supervisor has been advised of the number of sheep to be admitted, applications should be submitted to him direct.ss
 Tt is expected, however, that sheep men will use good judgment in mak. ing their applications so as to cover range which they have certain rights to and avoid conflicts with their neigh bors, as we'll as in the necessary reduc- tion of sheep to keep within the lim- ited number set for each reserve or division.
 'Sheepmen should see that their ap- plicatiOnS are sent in as early as possi- ble that they may be acted upon, for no sheep will be allowed to come onto the reserves until they have been granted permit and if they are kept out because owners have failed to make application in time, no one is to blame but themselves.

gone. This fact served to make him
realize that he was alone and he felt
his throat beginning to ache. 1t was
all right to be alone and penniless in
New York because he knew New York
like a book, but to be alone and pen
niless in this strange town was a diff
ferent thing altogether and he did not
like il at all.

This was a very wise and reasonable
course that bright little Joe proposed,
and nine ticket agents out of ten would
have telegraphed, but this agent was
very new and very young and he was
not the man to be taken in by any
cock and bull story of a little street
boy, for, although Joe had on new
clothes, his speech was that of a wan
derer on the sidewalks.
You don't get a free ride to Buffalo
from me Now run along; l want to
get busy" And the agent dropped the
glass slide and went over to a desk
and began to write.
Joe was a pretty good walker but he
knew that he could not make twenty
miles before nightfall. He went sadly
out of the station and turned his steps
to the town. He was certainly in a
hole. Not a cent to get a meal with,
not a box or a wagon that he knew of
wherein to pass the night he was in
deed badly off. And even if he could
get to Buffalo he did not know where
to find Mr. Bagey.
He wandered aimlessly along until
his eye was attracted by a sign, "Bicy-
cles rented by the hour or day"
Joe walked into the place and sized
up the proprietor to be a friend of

streets had given him knowledge of
human nature that many an old man
would have been glad to possess.

The United states "Is."
From the New York Sum.


Washington, Jan. 1.-THE House
Committee on the Revision of the Laws
in the course of some tinkering with
the statues ran up against the time
worn proposition whether a singular or
plural verb goes with the United
States There was much discussiC-
among the members of the committee
and the Worshipers of the conStitu-
ticn, quoting from that instrument, had
much the best of the argument. 1t was
suggested that the committee consult
any authority on the subject that
could be found. Accordingly the LII
brarion of Congress, the Supreme Court
officials and others were asked to
throw light on the question. The re-
suit showed that while the Constitu-
ton and nearly all the laws, docu-
ments and messages in the early days
of the republic used the plural verb,
the tendency had been steadily to-
ward the singlar form, which during
the past fifteen or twenty years had
obtained almost exclusively.
The question was practically settled,
however, as far as the committee was
concerned, by the discovery of a PAM
phlet written by former Secretary of
State John w. Foster, with the title,
Are or Is" In this pamphlet Mr..
Foster quotes from Hamilton, Web
ster, Benton, Motley, c. F. Adams,
Jefferson, Marcy, Seward, Fish, Evarts,
Blaine, Frelinghuysen. Bayard, Gresh-
am and Olney, who used it in the sin
guar. In the earlier messages of the
Presidents Jackson only used the sim
gular form but in later years Lincoln
and, since the Civil War particularly,
Grant, Cleveland, Harrison and Nc
Kinley, had used it exclusively. He
also quotes from decisions of the Su-
preme Court, those of recent years in
variably using the singular verb in
connection with the United States. In
no class of documents is crater atten-
ton paid to the language employed
than in drafting treaties, and up to 1890
the plural form was used. Since then
however, the singular had been adopt
ed, and Mr.. Foster points to the fur
seal treaty of 1892. the arbitration
treaty. of 1897 and, lastly, the Hay
Pauncefote canal treaty as conspicu-
Gus examples of the usage.
After reading the arguments and au-
thorities of Mr.. Foster the committee
has decided that legally at least the
United States 'is."

had better be double, with building
paper in between, and also under the
roof, between the shingles and the cell
ing. Give the roof a good pitch, thus
is sheds storm water and affords loft
space. Eight feet above ground
put in tight tongue and grooved floor
tight enough to save everything un-
derneath from dust, hayseed, etc. Make
light sliding door in the shielded wall
directly over the stalls. Hay can be
pitched down through these doors. The
gable next the passageway, whether
lane, street or private drive, should
have a big door for putting in hay, oats
and any sort of rough feed. Build a
tight grain bin in one corner of the
loft. Narrow stairs should run up in
side the carriage house, across the
back. They need not be more than
eighteen inches wide. Underneath them
set stout, smooth barracks for saddles,
harneS and so on.
For the foundation dig out
the whole space to depth of
at least two feet and fill in The ex-
cavation with eighteen inches of clean
gravel Upon the gravel lay six inches

house, two coats of cement. In this

eqaully fatal extremes of dryness and
dampness. In the stable there are sew
eral ways. One is to leave the packed
earthen surface bare-it is infinitely
soothing and wholesome to the feet of
stalled things. 1t needs whitewash
once month, and every three months
to have two inches scraped from it,
added to the compost heap, and re-
placed with fresh, clean earth. But
this requires space, trouble and intelli-
gent care. Wherefore, in many cases,
in most cases, indeed, it is bettsr to
cement the shed floor as we'll and set
above it floor of stout Stats, nailed
to supports back and front with Falf-
inch interstices. Through this Slated
floor very much of soilure sifts. 1t is
elastic-nearly as good for hoofs as the
clean earth. Further, it can be lifted,
the cemented curface swept clean and
the whole stall washed out with the

vides, and do all that is possible to
minimize them. If building is in order
remember. these things: To set the
barn on firm, dry ground, as far as
possible from the house; to give it a
south face, or an easterly one, and to
let it stand as close as it well can
to a lane, alley or back street.
Accurate measurements can not be
given-in most cases they would be an
impertinence. But where one wishes
to accommodate a horse and a COW a
light trap, and maybe a saddle or two,
this is a fairly good plan. Have a
barn twelve feet long, nine feet wide
and twelve feet between caves and
floor, with shed stable eight feet wide
down the sunniest side of it. 1t should
be stoutly framed and covered with
upright sheathing, tongue and grooved
and driven tight. If expense Is an OBJ
ject, rough sheathing with two-inch
strips over the seams answers very
well. In severe climates the shed walls
