Worse than all In its financial eff
fects upon a great industry was the
carelessness which introduced the So
| called Bathurst burr into Australia.
Wherever this plant has spread sleeps
fleeces are thick with the clinging
burrs. These spiny seed pods, diff.
cult beyond measure to get rid Of, re-
duce the wool that is full Of them to
a fraction of its value.
The results of carelessness all too
often are beyond the power of man to
remedy. An instance in point was the
the collapse Of the Campanile at
Venice. For twelve long years before
its final collapse Signor Vendrasco.
an architect in municipal employ, had
been urging and imploring the town
and government to repair the tower
before 1t was too late.
But in matters Of this sort the Vene-
tians, alas, too strongly resemble the
Spaniards with their everlasting
"manana." Il Is a case of never do
to-day what can be left till tomorrow.
Poor Vendrasco received nothing but
jeers or abuse, and at last, just q
month before the day the Campanile
fell was summarily dismissed for
making a last urgent appeal that
something might be done before 1t
was too late,
Another irreparable loss to the art
world was caused in the winter OF
1908 by the carelessness of the owners
Of the Rosso Palace, also Venice.
Because they could not or would not
take the trouble to find out who was
competent to be intrusted with the
task they sent ten ''old masters" to
be cleaned by totally incompetent
person.
These pictures included two OF the
finest Van Dycks in existence and two
Guido Renis and were all of immense
value, both from an artistic and
monetary point of view The incom-
petent cleaner washed them with an
alkaline solution and totally destroyed
them all.
An official of an American bank
once told the writer that 1t was not
professional swindlers who constituted
the chief danger to the banking pro-
fession. 1t was rather the careless
methods of customers in drawing
checks and thus giving opportunity
for fraud. AS an instance, he quoted
a case tried three years ago before u
Maine court Of justice.
The cashier of a certain electric
company drew a check in favor OF
man named Longacre for the sum or
500. The treasurer of the company
wrote the words zone hundred in the
very middle of the check and the
figures thus: 100, with space wide
enough for the insertion of another
figure between the dollar mark and
the 100.
When the check was presented the
words read "Eighty-one hundred
dollars" and the figures $500. The
bank paid it unquestioningly, and the
eiectric company promptly sued to re-
cover the $4,000. The case created
good deal of interest especially when
the courts decision was given that the
company, not the bank, should be the
losers on account of gross careless
ness" in drawing the check.

THE CATTLE AND SHEEP

u E7T-EEEE
South st. Joseph, Mo-, Feb. II. 1907
The cattle trade during the closing
days of last wee dropped into a very
unsatisfactory condition due it is al
legged to inability to get refrigerator
cars back from the east. On this ac-
count without any big receipts prices
for all classes of beef cattle, both
steers and she stuff slumped 20 a soc
The market today without being lib
orally supplied vas sluggish and weak
at this decline. It is hardly likely that
this condition can last for any ate
ial length of time. but it would seem
advisable for country to curtail receipts
much as possible during the balance
of this week. In sympathy with the
market for eef cattle, the trade in
lockers and feeders 4 suddenly be-
came very sluggish, supplies rave
piled up On local dealers and the yards
are now full of cattle that cannot be
worked out at prices about as much
lower as are the beef grades Il it
would appear advisable for the coun-
try to hold back this class of cattle
as much as possible in the nea fu-
ture. On the other hand if all signs
do not fail it would seem good policy
for prospective buyers to get in on
such breaks
Hog receipts were liberal at lead
eral move towards lower prices in the
market; locally the break amounted
t sc a 7k on the bulk but closed
with a little farther slump. Hogs
sold largely at $500 q $7.02h with
quite a number of sales making $7.O5.
All movements in the market of late
have indicated that it was going to
be a fight to get prices very far either
way from the &c mark in the near
future. Packers will stubbor1ly OPP
pose any long advance over current
prices while the selling interest seems
t o be in position to prevent very much
decline.
The receipts of sheep and lambs
were quite liberal today, but the de-
mand was excellent and while other
points reported lower prices the sup
ply here was moved out readily at
good strong figures. Some good prime
San Luis Valley lambs sold up TO
$3.50 and other quite good westerns
made $3.50, choice heavy ewes sold
up to $3.50 and a very good class OF
yearlings at $500. No heavy weth-
ers were offered but would sell around
$40 q $685.. WARRICK.

Alcohol From corncobs.

The department of agriculture is
developing a new industry in the pro-
duction of alcohol from corncobs,
which. the department says promises
to be of much commercial value. In
vestigations are being made at Hopes
ton, H., and have proved that the
large quantities of corncobs which ev-
cry year go to waste, can be made
to produce alcohol in sufficient guam
titles to justify the erection of a dis
tini1g plant in connection with a corn
cannery.
So far, the department has succeed
ed by simple methods of fermentation
in getting a yield of eleven gallons of
alcohol from a ton of green corn
stalks. A department official says
that these tests show that there are
24O pounds of fermentable substance
in a ton of green field cor1lstalks,
which will yield about half of their
weight in absolute alcohol. In round
numbers. a ton of stalks will produce
100 pounds of alcohol or 200 pounds
vi pIOoI SptIltS. AS d SdllOH Vi dlCO
hol weighs nearly seven pounds,
there should be fifteen gallons of al
cohol in a ton of stalks. The addition
of the corr on the cob adds further
to the possibilities of alcohol obtain
able from a ton of cobs, and will have
its influence in bringing the quanti-
ty to a greater fgure.-Talisman.

RAILROAD TRAVEL MORE
DANGEROUS THAN WAR.

The death rate due to railroad acct
dents continues to be a topic of dis
cussion on all sides and 1t is thought
by many that such strong pressure
upon congress that some definite ac-
army were marched out in a single
to the elimination of these fatalities.
A writer in the Van Nordan Magazine
saws that so far the interstate COM
merce commission has appealed in
ain to congress for more power, re
mindilg congress every 3 months in
bulletins, and every year in a more
comprehensive report, that the rail
roads of the country are killing men
women and children at the rate of %
4 day. n injurilg 237 a day. What"
he questions. would the people of the
U1ited States have to say about it if
ly while 10 regiments of the standing
army were marched out in a sinble
yea and shot DOWN.
He points out that most of the peo-
pie killed by railroads are employees,
that during the year ending March
81, 1906, one out of every 81 40 was
killed and one out of every % was in
iured. The risk of mortality to the
employee" he says lis almost as
great as if he barred ais breast to the
bullets of modern warfare, and, indeed
if the war with Spain be taken as an
example it is quite probable that he
would have stood a better chance of
life and freedom from injury by en-
tering the army than by entering the
railroad service"

ing dispatch from Washington to the
Ell Paso Herald:
Washington, d. c., Feb. 12.-Since
the break in the west bank of the
Colorado river in Mexico began to at
tract attention there have been al
most inaumerable communications
sent to the president and prominent
officials in Washington from persons
with more or less vague nowledge of
the subject, and from genuine cranks.
Many suggest that the 'Salton sea
should be allowed to fill up because
of it's supposed effect upon the rain
fall and point out the fact that during
the last year of two there mas been a
notable precipitation throughout the
arid regions and even farther west.
Their reasoning, however, is defec-
tive in that they attribute to the Sal
ton sea an effect on precipitation
whereas as a matter of fact it is the
temporary increase of rainfall upon
the watersheds in Arizona and New
Mexico, hundreds of miles away from
the Salton basin which has given rise
in large part, to the flow of water
into this basin. The large and some
what unusual floods of the past few
years nave caused the river to main
tain tho hrOaE thrnnoh ifc urOcf hooE
Inc to this fact is due the difficulty
of closing the bank. Under ordinary
conditions the break might have been
closed with, relative "a
throughout the central part of the
United States is by no means unus-
al n a study of rainfall records, eX-
tending through several years will
show That there is a more or less
swinging of the pendulum il this con-
nection some years being of excessive
moisture and others Of excessive dry
ness. 1t IS to be inferred that the pre-
sent years Of moisture above the av-
erage vii be succeeded III ole course
of time by other years with rainfall
below the average.
The effect of the Salton sea on any
climate is almost infinitisimal. AS
shown on a map of the United States
it is merely a dot. When we compare
this with the gulf of California or
with the Pacific Ocean, or even with
great Salt Lake, we see the incon-
gruity of the assumption that his lit
tie puddle of water can have anything
to do with the climate. If the lands
along the Gulf of California are arid
and those around the great Salt Lake
are equally dry, it is hardly to be sup
posed that the Salton sea will change
the climate of the country.

CHANGE IN METHOD
OF TAXING SHEEP.


There is a bill before the legislature
which proposes to repeal the present
law, which taxes sheep in the country
in which they Craze. This bill should
not pass. Chaves county would suf-
fer from it, as would many other coua
ties in New Mexico. The Socorro
Chieftain says of this bill:
That proposed repeal of the pres
ent law requiring sheep to be taxed
in the country in which they Craze
rather than in the county in which
the owner resides, should e with
the determined opposition of the repre-
sentatives of Socorro county in the
legislature. At one time and another
there are to be found in this county
probably not less tina two hundred
thousand sheep belonging to non-resi-
dent owners. These sheep occupy the
ranges of the county to the exclusion
of an equal number of sheep or resi-
dent wners. Should the repeal bill
be passed, the county revenue would
be reduced by the amount of X
paid upon the animals into a treas
uries of neighboring counties and the
burden of taxation paid by citizens
Of Socorro county would be increased
accordingly. This would be the rank
est sort of an injustice to the tax
payers of this county and the repre-
s~eltatives of the county will therefore
do well to see to it that the proposed
repeal be defeated.

OF the style of Young Corbett and, 9th

nous. The main event will be a ten
round bout between Kid Fredericks
and Kid Riley. which is expected to
be a hummer. Fredericks has made
a good reputation in the East, while
Riley has been putting up some stiff
fights around Salt Lake n the Paci-
fc coast. Several six-round prelimina
ries have been arranged the contes-
tants including Jack Lavigne and Kid
Stonestreet, Young Jack O'Brien and
Fighting McCarty, Kid Daley and
Jack Downey and Young Wicker and
Joe Kelley. Special interest attaches
to the bout between Lavigne and Ston
estreet, who recently fought at Fort
Lumpton. The bout was scheduled
for six rounds but vas stopped at the
end of the second on account of the
fierceness of the struggle. Spectators
declare hat the boys did more fast
than was ever before seen in a six
round battle in this country.
Jockey Fred Maynard, the we'll
know1 fight promoter, is in charge
of tonights even and promises the
best Colorado talent show ever put
on in Denver. 1t is more than posei-

be brought out, as it was in similar
exhibitions in this city that Abe At
