No Cattle Now Being Shipped Out of

cause of the Infection-Governme
Is Determined to Stamp Out the
Disease.

A Laramie, wyo., special says:
Ranchmen east of line drawn north
and south through Rawlins in this
state are facing this fall situation
whish practically precludes the possi-
bility of their being able to ship any
cattle as feeders this year. This con-
dition is brought about by the fact
that the government has quarantined
the eastern portion of Wyoming be-
cause of the prevalence OF mango.
The disease, which is caused by a
parasite similar to that causing scab-
les in sheep. is said to have existed
here for number of years and the
ranchmen having taken no concerted
action for its determination the gov
eminent has now taken hand.
No cattle of any kind can at present
be shipped out of this portion of the
state unless they have previously been
dipped twice under the supervision of
a government inspector, except fat
cattle that are to go straight to the
butchers block. Cattle that are ship
ped to market and purchased for feed
ers must be dipped In the same man.
Rer at the stock yards at which they
are sold.
The difficulty which more than
anything else worries the ranchmen is
the fact that there are but few dip
ping plants in the country and none
at all at the shipping points.
Several of the big cattle companies
have in the last two years built dip
ping plants of their own and have
dipped their herds as closely as they
found it practical, but they say that
the disease is being constantly COM
municated to their cattle afresh by
the herds OF the stray cattle of the
smaller ranchmen upon the ranges.
The smaller ranchmen, on the
other hand, say that the expense of
building dipping plants makes 1t inn
possible for them to dip and that in
any case the stray cattle of the big
ranchmen would communicate the
disease to them afresh.
The situation is serious in that the
chief source of income for many Of
the ranchmen of this section has been
the shipping of feeders to Nebraska,
Kansas and Iowa, and the present
quarantine will practically put a stop
to the trade and to the selling of
stock straight to the feeders, a great
deal of which has been done in form
er years.
The mango itself is not, as a rule,
dangerous to the cattle, except in the
winter. and in the early spring
months, IL the cattle are in poor con-
dition, when the constant irritation
causes death. 1t is generally felt that
q scheme must be formulated to pro-
vide dipping plants at suitable loca-
fions, and that concerted effort must
be made in conjunction with the gov
erpment to eradicate the disease and
have the state declared clean

difference, that we mostly omit the grits

tea to teach us how to make and drink 1t.
The consequence has been that we have
never drunk tea in the Chinese way-that
is, as a simple infusion.
LAT first there seems to have been great
doubt as to how TO deal with the new herb.
1t is even said that it was sometimes boiled,
with salt and butter, and served up as
sort of spinach. The old phrase, "a dish of
tea, seems to bear out this legend. Finally
it came to be settled that the most whole

1T was while travelling on horseback with
a guide in the wilder parts of Portugal
away from the shops and inns, where we
had perforce to make experiments in the
most economical use of the few ounces of
tea and coffee that we could afford to carry
with us, that we hit upon discovery. Hav-

Opening of Virginia Avenue Tunnel
One Of the First
Steps.

With the opening of the new section of the
Virginia avenue tunnel in Southeast Wash
ington, which occurred recently, one of the
first important steps was taken toward the
elimination of grade crossings in the Dis
trct of Columbia. The new tunnel carries
all inbound and outbound trains of the Penn
sylvania railroad below all the streets from
South Capitol street to Sth street, thereby
doing away with the heretofore dangerous
crossings at grade over the intermediate
thoroughfares. Only the later details of the
contract yet remain to be finished, and then
the streets will be reopened all above the
railway grade.
In connection with the Virginia avenue
tunnel an erroneous impression has pre-
vailed in many quarters, it being thought
that the tunnel, with it's branch into the LIST
street bore under Capitol Hill, would be the
main approach of the Pennsylvania railroad
into the union station. AS a matter of fact

WORLDS SUPPLY OF COPPER.
America Furnishes Over Half and Her
Production is Increasing.

From the New York Tribune
The development of the electrical indus
tries of the world in the last few years has
created a tremendous demand for copper
very much as the need of rubber for bicycle.
buggy and automobile tires has enlarged
the call for the latter material. More than
half of the whole product comes from the
United States. in spite of the fact that the
production (and consumption has doubled
in ten years. Eight other countries which
have long been contributing to the supply
are unable together to match the output Of
the United States. In 1904 Russia produced
ofO tons, Canada 10. 1S5, Germany q ,045,

Spain and Portugal (Which are always
grouped together because certain rich de-
pcsits lie on both sides of the boundary be-
tween them) Al, OBS and Mexico 80, 945 TONS
Mexico, which forced her way up to the
second rank in this group in 1902, obtained
the first position last year, thus displacing
Spain and Portugal. which long had the
lead. This shifting of positions was partly
due to the increase In Mexicos YIELD but
also to falling off in that of Spain and
Portugal, which have several times pro-
duced more than 50,e00 tons a year.
The total yield of the eight countries Just
named amounted in 1894 to about 143, 900
tens and that of the United States to 49,
co.. In 1900 the others together produced
about $4,000 tons and this country not far
from 2J0.0o0. In 1904 their combined out
put was 24S,C09 tons and ours 334 40. The

scarcely exceeded 100000 tons.
For a long time the chief production in
the United States came from the southern
shore of Lake Superior. and more than half
was credited to the Calumet and Hecla sys-
tenn of mines. Montana first and then Ari

leadership. AS long ago 1894 the Lake

Bears Secondary Relation.
The relation of the Virginia avenue tun-
mel to the union station project. therefore
is only of a secondary nature. There Will
be turn from the line of I'd street In Car
field Park where the western mouth of the
tunnel is loca ted. into list street, where con-
nection will be made with the tracks under
LIST street but this will be used only for a
short connection to the yards and for the
handling of exceptionally heavy traffic on
extraordinary occasions.
The list street tunnel, on the other hand,
will be the real gateway to the south for
all trains on the roads which focus at the
Long bridge. A sort of ~" connection Will
eventually be established at the point where
the tracks enter list street east from Vir-
ginia and Maryland avenues-a short track
between the two curves closing the top of
the -'Y.''
In the Virginia avenue tunnel, when it is
relieved of passenger traffic, Washington
will be provided with a greater factor to-
ward improving conditions surrounding the
handling of freight than the city has ever
had. This tunnel, beside being a part of
the general project for elimination of grade
crossings. will be the gateway to the south
for all freight, just the 1st street tunnel
will be for the passenger service, and not

The birds are all sleek and fat and are
very tame. 1t can be readily seen that they
are wild geese and their color and bills are
not the same as those of the domesticated

were imported and consumed in immense
quantities in Germany now the trade has
been completely ruined. German farmers

What they do consume is for the most part
