ST LOUIS, NO., March 5.-The
Wabash strike situation is resolving it.
self into legal battle for the dissolu-
ton of the injunction granted two
days ago by Judge Adams. Attorri-
eys for the firemen and trainmen are
still at work on the affidavits, to be
filed in court, showing why the re-
straining order should not be made
permanent. Whether these will be
completed in time to file to-day as ex-
pected, is question. The possibility
of the f1remen and tra;nmen of the
Wabash striking as individuals with
out waiting for word from their lead
ers, is now being discussed. 1t Is
stated men are ready to go out at a
moments notice. Unless President
Ramsey yields it is further claim
ed that engineers, conductors, tele-
graph operators, brakemen and track
men to the number of $4,000 may be-
come involved in the struggle.
At the Wabash headquarters every
thing was reported quiet and the men
are still at work.

aEuLAh BUDGET.

Buelah, N. M, March 8, 1908.
Col. F. A. Blake is expected out tc
his ranch this week with men and
money to prosecute development
work on his mining claims on the
head of the Sapello.
Mrs. s. l.. Barker, with her two
little boys, came out through the
snow yesterday to spend vacation en-
the ranch, after which they will re-
turn to the city and the children
take their places in the Normal uni
versity. I'd
Why does not some one write a
poem and entitle it The Beautiful
Snow" The oldest inhabitant does
not remember such a snowfall as we
have had during February. And
while it pinches hard and will cause
the loss of some stock it will more
than overbalance the losses by insur-
ing good supply of water for irri-
cation, which always means heavy
crops.
There are now about forty inches
of snow on level in the higher
mountains, and from ten to twenty
feet in the gulches. So Mr.. Farmer,
you may arrange to plant every acre
this spring with the assurance that
there will be an abundant water sup
ply, and we can always count on a
ready sale and good prices, for every
thing that can be produced, whether
vegetable or cereals.
A number of US ranchmen realize
just now that we are losing money
by not having fat cattle to sell, or if
you have such to sell don't be in a
great hurry. Cattle will take an up
ward tendency this spring. The high
er price will be realized by waiting.
We should endeavor to improve the
grade of our cattle, as it takes no
more to raise the best than 1t does to
produce the veriest scrub.

DENVER, Colo, March 5.-A war
rant has been issued for the arrest
of w. c. Munsell, formerly chief clerk
of Flat tax department, of the state

BIG LIQUIDATION
IN STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, March 5,-There was
a very weak stock market from the
outset to-day and an outpouring Of Of
ferings from all quarters that had
something of mystery about it, after
yesterdays effective check to liquida-
tion. The particular weakness of the
Pacifics transactions led to the sup
position of truth in the reported incor>
poration of a company to build new
line to the Pacific coast the report of
a twenty per cent. decrease in Union
Pacific net earnings for January, and
the fears of the Wabash labor dispute
would spread, had combined to induce
selling of stocks. The slump in the
cotton market and the calling for ad-
ditional margins there, caused some
liquidation of stocks to protect cotton
holdings.

the Panhandle of Texas are sdrifted
full of mixture of snow and sand.
There is as much snow as sand, and
the great rotary snow plows strike
fire from it in a steady stream when
they are forced into it. Many of these
cuts are from twenty to fifty feet
deep and because of the sand the
rotaries can make little headway at
clearing them. They must be shoveled
