SHEEP ARE SUFFERING
Heavy Shows Prevent Them from
Getting to the Winter Ranges.

The White Pine News of Jan. says:
John Hick man, the well-known stock
man, passed through Ely Friday with
Is. 600 head of sheep belonging to the
Mary's River Land and Cattle Co., en-
route to lower White River, Nye
County, where the sheep will be herded
ON the white sage plains during the
Winter. Very slow progress has been
made in moving the sheep from Elko
County owing to the depth of the snow
and the extremely cold weather.
Mr. Hickman stated that he would
feel well pleased if he succeeded in
saving so per ceut Of the sheep in his
charge, as upwards OF 5000 Of the band
are lambs and the balance are in poor
condition. Some of the sheep were
left on Eiger, Randall & BuntiD's
ranch, two miles east of Ely, TO be
fed during the Winter, as they were
too weak to be driven farther

The U. S. Senate Thoroughly Roasted

From wholesome, breezy Kansas
comes the most comprehensive arraign-
ment we have yet observed of the
United States Senate. Kansas is not
cursed with craft, as is the cautious
East 1t is not sicklied DER with the
pale cast of thought. nor does it hoard
up its words. A protest that would
take the form of hint or a murmur in
the East, swells and bougeons into
volcanic outburst in Kansas. Ian.
guage is wider. taller, and of higher
temperature than here. The esteemed
Eldorado Republican, of Kansas, be-
gins an editorial on public affairs with
this general statement, which fairly
illustrates the hearty manner with
which Kansas grapples with great
things:
Every time President Roosevelt
whacks his big stick down in rotten
place in the public service out pops
United States Senator"
This brief, condensed sentence has
strength as well as breadth. There is
something in the words ''out pops"
which conveys to the mind guilty
thing-a weasel, say, detected in the
act of sucking eggs. Any Senator
ought to feel the opprobrium that is an
inevitable consequence of popping out
at the sound OF the big stick. The
Kansas critic. having stated his broad
general proposition. goes into parti-
culars:
"When the buzzards begin to circle
around a yellow spot in the financial
world. and an investigation is started
to find out what's dead. out pops a
United States Senator. Every time a
stockholder of a moneyed concern who
believes he is being robbed by his fellow
grafters kicks the top of the graft. out
pops a United States Senator. The first

More Sheep in Danger.

thousand head Of sheep in the Dolly
Warden country, White Pine County,
are in danger of perishing. Some of
the sheep owners have shipped whole
corn from Nebraska to Wells. and
will haul it from here by team in
the hope of saving their fiocks. Not
withstanding reports to the contrary

Life exposure was United States

explosion of a small bomb under St.
Louis get-rich-quick graft nailed a
United States Senator
This is a terrible arraignment. The
editor does not mince words. exactly,
although the result is mincemeat. The
crushing character of the information
conveyed is undeniable. And the i'm
preston becomes strong that every
United States Senator is a rascal, who
"pops" only when discovery is unavoid-
able. The Senate is exposed at last in
its totahty. 1t is merely the gathering
place Of grafters-their "hang.out,
as it were. Senators have worked their
game well, but the Eldorado Republi-
can has finally found their trail, and
they are popping out in bunches. He
is sure of more. too. and hands out a
piece of news that is extremely in
teresting:
zone random shot at the Panama
scandal threatened to expose two
United States Senators. The tobacco
frauds now being investigated will
catch United States Senator. There
are but ninety Of him in all, but he
seems ubiquitous.
That is a good job, thoroughly done.
The Post has been accused of defending
the Senate against reckless. indiscrimi.
nate charges. and it is true that this
paper has criticised some contem-
poraries for their haphazard statements
But the Eldorado Republican cannot
be accused of making an indiscrimin.
ate attack. 1t has "whacked" the Sem
ate with absolute impartiality. and.
being a Republican journal. its criti-
cism is non. partisan. Its article leaves
nothing to be said. id.--Washington Post.
