c. l.. Stone-Speaking of late
springs, in May of 1884 it was May
third ! believe) six of Us started from
Powderhorn TO Gunnison. In those
DAYS we got mail at Allen postoflice
on the Lake Fork and this road had
not been broken that spring. On
the nine mile hill there was six feet
of snow in tie gulches. We were
compelled TO leave our sleighs near
the top and go on horseback down
the ridges Even then it took two
DAYS to make Stevens ranch at lola
and another day to get to Gunnison.
That shows what CAN happen in
the Gunnison country when winter
takes a notion to linger. The spring
"a was something like this year, in
that whenever it got warm enough
TO melt it would blow up another
snow storm. and then turn cold.
That year it did not really start to
melt uatil the middle of Nav and
then went all at once The Cebolla
became a raging torrent that tore
new channels across all the bends Of
the river and covered much good
ranch land with rocks.

Gunnlson, Colorado.
Dear Sir.
At the request Of MIR. Easterlv.
secretary, and other members OF
vour association. ! visited Gunnison
ON March 9TH and spent a portion of
two days in the Ohio creek district
investigating the cause OF death Of y
considerable number of calves that
had occurred in the herds OF several
people in that vicinity. | found that
the disease has made its appearance
in that locality nearly every year for
a number Of years, causing the death
oi quite number Of calves annually.
After insesti cation | found the di-
sease to be Necrotic Stomatitis, often
called calf diphtheria, which latter
name rs a misnomer as it is not
diphtheria or related 70 the diph-
theria of man in any way This is
a comparatively new disease in the
United States, having been first OBJ
served in 1897 in the southwestern
part Of Texas, since which time it
has been seen in Colorado, Wyoming
and Dakota. | have seen it on sew
eral occasions in the country around
Pixies Peak This is disease al
most entirely confined TO sucklinc
animals and is caused by the am
mails becoming lnOculated with the
necrosis bacillus known as bacillus
necrophorus, which bacillus finds
lOdgment in Some abraled spot ia
the mouth or throat This abrasion
may be caused by the teeth, fox tail
hay, coarse food, or in fact anything
that viii break the mucous mem
hrane. The bacill, though they
may be present in very large num-
bers, can do no harm to an unbroken
surface These bacilIi are found
naturally IN the intestines If some
absolutely healthy animals, the hog,
and probably the COW and horse.
and in this way the corrals, manure,
etc, become infected and the COW
udder becumcs infected by the COW
lying on tins manure and the bacilli
gain entrance to the calf S mouth by
the calls nursl- &. As soon as they
find lodgment on an abraded surface
they vigorously attack the tissues
and cause the death of any tissue
attacked. Hence the name necrosis.
The first symptom is usually
drooling and refusing to nurse or
eat. The cheeks and throat appear
swollen. but this swelling is found
to be caused by partially chewed
hay which the animal has been un-
able to swallow. a careful exami-
nation of the mouth will reveal
ulcers ON the tongue, cheek and
throat. These sores vary in size
from the size Of a dime to that of
silver dollar or even larger.
One calf examined bv me while
there had sore on its tongue twice
as large as a silver dollar and the
tongue was eaten half off. These
sores are not usually round but are
commonly two or three times as
long as wide. These sores are COW
cred with cheesy substance which
is the dead issue killed by the
action of the bacilli The sores usu
ally show no disposition TO heal, but
constantly grow worse and expert
ence has demonstrated that practi-
cally all affected auimals that recai~o
no treatment Will die, while nearly
all that are treated recover. While
the LESSONS Of this disease are mostly
seen in the mouth and throat, the
intestiDes, lungs and stomach NAV
Ike invaded.
The treatment consists principally
of the thorough disinfection Of the
sores by swabbing with a mild (say

Rs1OUITY o. GRAZING TAX

AT the Denver cattle conventions
delegates from all over the west
seemed disposed to let forest reserve
officers have almost any old thing
provided they were protected against
the sheep. The way they fell over
themselves TO get in the good graces
of those in authority. reminded one
very much OF flock of sheep. In
fact il seemed impossible to secure
any organised movement because
each fellow had notion that bv
going around OF the quiet to Pin
chot and his supervisors he could
secure some concession that the other
fellow didn't have and that by ask
ing for his rights like an American
citizen he might offend some power
that would take revenge later. Our
Gunnison delegation knew what
was wanted first OF all and secured
promise of it. How well that prom
Use was kept we know. The redicu-
lous thing about il rs that cattle
mems organizations at Montrose,
Delta, ,etc are ardently embracing the
cold shadow of the local range CON
troll they asked Tor.
a serious effect of present reserve
management is that TO secure "a
square deal many stockmen feel that
they must be servlle to the autocratc
government or run the risk of serious
loss. This paper does not wish to
say that government officers in or
around the Gunnison reserves are
arbitrary or revengeful or take adj
vantage OF their power. On the con-
trary they have so far as we know
been gentlemanly and discreet, but
we object to the whole system.
Where such arbitrary power exists,
sooner or later it viii be abused.
The history of the world does not
show case where the tyrant failed
to appear when invited.
This grazing tax is not only un-
Just and according to the best au
thority unlawful, but its effect is
directly contrary to the best interests
Of the range. 1t takes money to
run IL immense reserves in Colo
RADIO, each a. large as the state of
Deleware Congress has never APP
propriated the money to do it. In
consequence the forestry department
is taking ii out OF our stockmen, the
only people it can lay hands on, by
a grazing tax. The department is
wanting money to pay range riders
and make alleged improvements.
The more stock grazed the more
money secured. Therefore the tax
is premium on overstocking the
range. If there are not enough cat

Special to Tho journal.
Milwaukee, July 18.-That 100000
can be raised for the Auditorium by
series of entertainments including
horse shows, wrestling matches and
lectures by Mayor Becker, is the be-
lief of William F. Hooker, private sec
rotary to the city executive. Mr..
Hooker will submit plan to the audi
forum committee at meeting to be
held this week. Mr.. Hooker proposes
to secure a large circus tent In which
the entertainments are to be held.
It is understood that Mr.. Hooker is
merely fathering another of the boy
mayor IS ideas when he says: ~ am
confident that we can raise $4,000 on
boxing match alone. It will attract
people from all parts Of the country
and hundreds will come up from Chi
cago. It would be good, clean sport,
under the close surveillance Of the au-
thorities.
"I propose to get large circus tent
capable of accommodating a large
crowd, in fact, / know where I can get
one. I think that 1t would be well to
lead off with a horse show, say early in
September. am certain we would
have the hearty cooperation Of the
society people, who would enter their
horses in the events and donate to the
scheme so that the expenses would be
slight. The decorations, blanks and
other paraphernalia used at the former
horse show would be at the disposal of
the managers. ~

Another fact that should appeal to any In
weston is that this stock has been selling for the
past five months at 20 cents per share. Dur
ing that time Refinery No. 2, at Atchison, has
been built, besides over seventy miles more Of
main trunk pipe line secured, and several great
oil wells completed. It cannot be denied but
that the stock has increased in solid value 80
to 100 per cent during this five months, for
every dollar Of this entire $325,000 has gone
right back Of the enterprise, while great
deal Of It has been placed where it has doubled
in value for the company by reason Of certain
rich discoveries on the different oil properties
belonging to Uncle Sam. However, this COM
pany is no stock jobbing scheme. We are not
trying to prop up fictitious values, but realize
that capital to complete our enterprise is what
is absolutely necessary, and what the company
wants is 20 cents per share. which will do the

It is generally conceded that the passage
Of the denatured alcohol bill pulls! the
fangs of the robber oil trust on the gaso-
lene monopoly, and the Uncle Sam Oil Company
will be one Of the first to push this ''alcohol
fuel OIL into practical use The company
already owns a fifty-seven-acre farm only a
short distance from the big packing plants of
Kansas City, Kan, and soon as full report
can be had from expert men now at work will
undoubtedly commence the building of plant
within fifteen minutes ride Of the main Of
fee With gasolene its equivalent the indie
pendent refiners can drive the trust from the
markets of the West. The trust has been and
is now discriminating against other localities in
order to fill the entire demand In Kansas and
adjoining states for gasolene where 1ndepend
ent oil is offered The trust nor no one else
can secure enough gasolene to supply the de-
mand, hence they are holding a small footing
that they will lose with a fuel alcohol plant te
help out Uncle Sam, which can easily reach
the greatest potato, cabbage and corn field II

close to the land owned and paid for severa
months ago for just such purpose. Uncle San
