PRESIDENT CASTRO
EVADES III LT|MATUN
Leaves Caracas Without
Answering Bowen.
RELATIONS MAY BE SEVERED
Naval Demonstration and Seizure of
Customs Houses Would Follow.
Danger for Venezuela

No reply has been received from
President Castro in answer to Minister
Bowen's note, in which the United
States Government insists that the
questions at issue between the two
countries be submitted to arbitration.
1t is stated that Castro has again left
Caracas. In this manner he will again
block any effort to bring the negotia-
tions to definite point.
Several months ago when the issues
between the United States and Vene-
zuela first came to an acute phase Cas-
tro adopted the policy of leaving Car
acas for the mountains It is thought
that he is now trying TO postpone mat
ters by adopting the same plan.
May Sever Relations.
The next step in the Venezuelan affair,
should President Castro refuse to sub
nit pending questions between his gov
ernment and the United States to arbi-
trat1ou, viii probably be the severance
of diplomatic relations.
The Administration hopes that Castro
will not force the United States to take
such action with it's possible conse-
ouen6es of a naval demonstration and
The seizure of one or more Venezuelan
custom houses
1t is difficult to see how a naval
demonstration or the seizure of custom
houses would be of much avail Castro
would, in that event, probably issue a
decree abolishing customs duties at such
ports.
II is held, however, that Castro can III
afford at this time, to break with the
United States, when France, Italy and
the Netherlands stand ready to pounce
upon the country to any extent permit
ted by the Monroe Doctrine.
The demands of the United States can
not be considered otherwise than rea-

WHOLESALE FRAUD
ATTENDS SEEING
OF PUBLIC LANDS
Alleged Irregularities Reported involving
Prominent Men in Eight States and One
Territory of the Far West

Land frauds, which throw into the
shade all the widely heralded investiga-
tlons in Oregon, where numerous indict-
rnents have been returned, are now re-
ported from the same section of the
country, but covering ten times the area
heretofore under suspicion of gross irreg-
ularities. In fact the latest allegations
cover the entire Pacific coast and all the
great Northwest west Of Colorado and
Montana.
Eight States and a Territory are
named in the allegations put in circu-
lation in the West These are Utah,
Colorado, Nevada, Montana, Idaho.
Washington, Oregon, and California, and
the Territory of New Mexico. Members
of Congress are accused of being mixed
up in the disposition of millions Of acres
of Government land and the Rockefeller

having held up intended Investigations

to two classes Of mineral land-the coal
lands in the States named. control of
which is sought by the Rockefeller
Gould interests, and the gilsonite lands
in Utah The latter is a substance found
only in that State and Is used in the
manufacture of varnish, insulating ma
terial and such things. An attempt is
being made TO control the supply and
fix trust prices on the commodity and
in this connection is mentioned the name
of Adolphus Busch, the St Louis brew
er and politician, as chief promoter.
1t is plainly declared that the methods
by which immense tracts of land have
been so obtained by promoters will not
bear investigation, and that knowing
this the trust interests concerned have
exerted themselves TO prevent any in
vestigation by the Interior Department.
Further IL is declared, that prospective
witnesses have been started off on ex-
tended vacations as a part OF a general
plan to cover up evidence and prevent
the facts from becoming known.
Prominent Men Named.
Among the prominent men whose
names have been connected with some
nhase or other Of the case are Senator
Reed Smoot of Utah, who Is a partner
in the ownership Of gilsonite land, the
title cf which was in controversy before

Investigation made by persons not

acres of coal lands are involved. If the
Government had received pay for this
at the legal price of $50 an acre II
would have been the richer by Sc. 400. O0O

ROUP IN POULTRY.
Remove All Dirt in Cleaning House,
Then Administer Creosote in
Liberal Manner.

There is no better way of disinfect-
ing poultry houses, coops and other
buildings used for poultry than first
removing all dirt by scraping, taking
care to destroy the same by burning,
then dressing all parts with crude
creosote, and when this has thorough
ly dried in apply good coatsof lime
wash, adding one-half pint of carbolic
acid to each gallon of wash. In ad-
dition to the above it is q good prac-
tice to fumigate with sulphur in the
usual way by putting flowers of sui
phur on .red-hot Goals placed in an
iron vessel, previously closing all win
dows, doors, etc. The following is an
effectual way Of treating roup if the
cases are taken sufficiently early:
Paintsthe head, beak, ETC., with a weak
solution Of iodine once each day, and
give the following mixed with soft
food: Sulphate of copper one quarter
ounce, sulphate Of iron one-half ounce,
burnt alum (powdered) one-quarter
once. This constitutes one dose for
from so to 100 birds. depending upon
age, size, etc. AS preventives lump
of camphor, which slowly dissolves,
placed in the drinking troughs. and
some flowers of sulphur given with
soft food about twice each week. are
simple, safe and of practical utility

roosting apartment by -, a small door
leading from the one to the other.
AS will be seen by the cut, says tha
Prairie Farmer, the roosting place is
at the side of the house instead of at the
back, the advantage being that it not
only allows of a more airy roost, but
one that can be reached by the suns
rays through the window shown.
In the scratching shed wire netting
is used on the front side from the roof
to within three feet of the ground, the
house being so placed as to catch the
suns rays for the greater part of thu
day. Leading into the scratching shed
is door, feet by 8, and one of similar
size leads from the outside into the
roosting shed, the roosts being arranged
on either side at right angles with the
doors, thus allowing free passage from
one end of the coop to the other
In the more rigorous climates it may
be advisable to cover the large opening
in the front of the house with large
door containing a window, hinged at
the top, which can be let down in severe
weather and protect the scratching shed
from rain and snow.
