DEALING WITH OWNERS OF
FIFTEEN THOUSAND CATTLE.
Large Herds of Big and Little Laramie
Rivers, Seven Mile Creek and Sand
Creek to Be Subjected to Treat
ment Under Direction of Depart
.ment of Agriculture.

Fred r. Springer of Denver, Wyo-
ming agent for the G. T. Seabury
spraying machine, today closed a con-
tract with the owners of from lo,ooo
to 20, 900 head of cattle on the Big and
Little Laramie rivers, Sand creek and
Seven Mile creek, in this county, en-
bracing an area reaching to the Colo
rado state line, for the dipping OF the
cattle for mango, in a united effort OF
the cattlemen to rid he county OF the
disease and cause the county to be re-
leased from the quarantine placed
around it and other counties by the
department of agriculture. Mr.. Spring
er is awaiting the arrival of the OUTFIT,
and when it comes, which should be IN
the next twenty-four hours, he will pro
ceed with the work in hand.
More to Come In.
There are other large cattle owners
who have not beer seen, including Ora
Haley and John McGill, but it Is be-
lieved they will enter the agreement
and have their cattle included in the
list to be dipped. The order of Secre-
tary Wilson is quite severe and pro-
yides that cattle must be dipped before
being shipped and those infected must
be dipped twice, so that there is a
considerable job ahead of the con
tractor.
An Effective Device.
The Seabury machine is a portable
outfit. invented by DR.. G. 7. Seabury
of Cheyenne, formerly state veterlna-
rian, and is being manufactured by a
company at Denver. The steer passes
through a portion of the machine, re-
ceiving a spray of the mixture from
innumerable openings under heavy
pressure of air, the fluid reaching ey-
cry portion of the skin of the animal,
doing better execution, it is claimed,
than dipping, as the cleansing fluid Is
forced to the hide through he thick
coating of hair. The machine was eX-
pected today, but at l o'clock this aft
ernoon had not arrived.

Washington Football Public Expects Annual Holiday
Contest-Georgetown' Delay Makes Its Position
UnpoPuar-Cheerful About Virginia
By THOMAS S. RICE.

George Washington University has
made an offer Of compromise with
Georgetown IL the matter of the dis
pute over the gate receipts Of the
Thanksgiving game, which dispute
seems almost certain TO cause the game
10 fall through.
In October, after it had been widely
published that Georgetown had sched-
uled George Washington for Thanks
giving, Georgetown unexpectedly de-
manded that its rival accept 40 instead
Of 30 per cent Of the net receipts Of the
game, on the ground that new bleachers
had been Duilt on Georgetown Field
G. W. u. refused to accept the cut, and
hence the row
George Washington wants to play
Georgetown, and on Thanksgiving. The
Washington public is extremely anxious
that the game be pulled OF and is not
directly interested in the financial con-
troversy. except that it promises to
make impossible contest in which
every resident OF the District could feel
q personal interest The annual clash
between the two institutions has become
a fixture and the feeling OF the public
has been shown by the large attend
ance- Any other game either team
might arrange for the holiday would
be only mildly interesting to those not
directly connected with the school. and
a defeat or victory would create no spe-
cial commOtiOn.

Thanksgiving game between George
town and George Washington and If the

George Washington's proposition TO
leave the matter Up to the sporting edi-
tors as a board Of arbitration is not
likely TO bear fruit In the first place.
It's a Job the sporting editors do not
relish, and in the second place, at
least three of them have already eX-
pressed the opinion that Georgetown
action in waiting until October before
asking an extra share OF the receipts
was entirely unJusdhed.
Whether Georgetown had a right 10
make George Washington University
pay a part for those bleachers at all
may be open to discussion. That IL had
no right to let George Washington Uni
VeTsity think the Thanksgiving date
was all settled, and then spring the de-
mand at a time when nothing but a
lucky accident could enable George
Washington University 10 arrange a
suitable match with some other team

QuenCe In the country mas picked its
opponent a year in advance, is absolute
ly indefenSible IN my opinion, ana / may
say that the public at large and those
Georgetown alumni with whom I have
talked are entirely agreed IN this view
Of the matter.
This is not intended as a roast on
Georgetown, but a plain statement of
fact which the athletic authorities Of
the institution should understand. The
school mas put itself in bad with the
patrons OF sport by its delay in intro

Close on the heels OF this announce

net return them This viii result in a
break between the two bodies.

these medals after their teams had fin
ished first in the championship Journeys.
but IL was disclosed later that two Of
the players we're ineligible. The entire
Y. NJ. {. A stood behind the Central
Branch in this fight, and If this attitude
Is sustained, 1t is more than likely that
the A. A. l. may have to break with
all the Y. NJ, G. A. clubs.
