Cattle Being Dipped at Denver Yards.

Denver.-The grounds of the Denver
Union Stock Yards Company are
scenes OF activity these days, owing to
the great number of cattle being
dipped and sprayed preparatory to be-
ing turned out TO pasturage in the
northern states. The work is under
the immediate charge of Edward NJ
Smith, inspector from the United
States bureau of animal industry. The
cattle now undergoing the process of
dipping is a consignment from Texas
and North and South Dakota
Ralph Mahon. superintendent of the
yards. estimates the number daily
handled as between 5000 and 5000
head. The dipping season opened
about the first of May ana will con
tnue until the latter part OF July
The dip and spray are used because
OF compulsory legislation by Congress
and lately by the laws of Wyoming and
the Dakotas. 1t is claimed that the
processes heal and prevent what is
known among herds as "scabies."
which is rash appearing on the hide
of the animal.
The national laws require that all>
cattle affected with scabies be sprayed
or dipped before being shipped Cat
tie not so aneCted are exempt from
treatment. The laws of Wyoming and
Dakota have gone further and require
that all cattle be dipped or sprayed so
that not a carload of cattle is shipped
into the above states without a GER
tihcate from United States inspector
that they have been dipped or sprayed
within ten days.
The dipping is the more common of
the two processes. The cattle are sub
merged into vat containing a compo-
sition of soap oil and water, after
which, if they are free from scabs. they
are allowed to stand from six to ten
hours, and are then shipped to their
destination. If the cattle are affected
with scabies they must undergo sec
ond dipping after two years.
The dipping vat and one sprayer
have been in operation for two years,
but, owing to the large number of cat
tie being shipped here for treatment,
the second sprayer was installed and
put In operation few days ago. At
present the yards are the best
equipped in the region west of the
Mississippi.

AFTER BIG ONES
FEDERAL INoUISITIoN MAKES
CAPTAINS OF INDUSTRY
TREMBLE.
DETECTIVES AT WORK
Great Wave of Investigation Has
Reached Colorado and Gives Prom
ise to Wash Some Rotten Crafts
Acbore

ASHORE.
That the federal inquisition now in
progress in Denver involves some of
the largest corporations in America,
and that indictments will be returned
against men who are rated as multi
millionaires and captains of industry,
known as well in Wall street as in Col
orado, is the latest development in
connection with the probing of the
grand jury.
No less than 12O secret service men
now make their headquarters in Den
yer, this small army of government
sleuths having rented large portion
of the fifth floor of the Quincy build
ing, seventeenth and Curtis strSiEf,
from where they are spreading theHt
that is tightening about victims In
high places.
Is the American Smelling and Rein
ing Company now under the micro
scope of the government detectives?
Gossip that comes directly from the
inside indicates an affirmative answer
and that the great concern, headed by
the recently-elected senator from Col
orado, will not escape searching in
quisition on the question of rebates.
Some months ago it was announced
that Earl NJ. Cranston, United States
district attorney had been commits
stoned a special prosecutor by the gov
ernment to probe the charges of rebat-
ing made against the smelter trust. Mr..
Cranston refused to make any state
ment on the question at the time, nor
has he admitted since thah he had re
ceived such commission. Neverthe-
less the Department of Justice sud
denly concentrated all of Fis attention
on Denver and gradually the city has
been filling up with special agents.
First came Judge Marsden c. Burch
and oliver Paden, representing the De-
partment of Justice. Then came
squad of secret service men, whose
numbers gradually swelled.
l.. C. Wheeler, in the service of the
Department of Justice at Washington,
is in charge of the secret service men
He has been engaged in the work at
Washington for years. and meritorious
service in many states won him the
honor of being placed at the head of
the coal and timber land fraud inquiry
He came to Denver from Omaha,
where he for many months had charge
of the investigation thai resulted in
the conviction of Richardson and Com
stock for land grabbing is the state of
Nebraska.
Many of the land detectives, who
then worked with him and We're sue
cessful in the apprehension of the bX
operators, have accompanied him ~
Denver. And these, with experiences
and lessons of the investigation in Ne
braska fresh in their minds. have been
assigned to varied districts in Colorado
and they are now quietly at work col
lecting evidence
In addition to Colorado, the secret
service agents under the direction of
the Denver office are being sent into
Utah. Wyoming and New Mexico by
Mr.. Wheeler, who believes that there
will be some startling revelations in
the very near future.

WHICH STATE OWNS RAGGS?
Big Irrigation Project Raises Intricate
Question Between Colorado
and Wyominq.

Is the town of Baggs in Wyoming or
Colorado? Baggs itself doesn't know
and if Baggs doesn't, who does? On
the map Baggs is in Wyoming, just
north of the Colorado-Wyomin state
line, where it forms the boundary be.
tween Carbon county, Wyoming, and
Routt county, Colorado, and that was
where it belonged when the states
were originally laid out great many
years ago. A government survey made
line north of Baggs, it is said, thus
bringing it :nto Routt county, Colo
RADIO. Nobody paid any attention to
the last survey because until recently
it made no particular difference
whether Baggs was in Colorado, Wyo-
ming or Alaska.
But all that is changed now The
Little Snake River valley, which runs
southwest from Baggs, is the site for
one of the largest irrigation projects in
the state. The Routt County Develop
ment Company is building an irriga-
ton canal and reservoirs, acd lad and
water rights are being sold at $3.50
an acre. Now, Baggs wants to be de-
clared In on this prosperity and it is
obvious that II the town isn't in Colo

diction over it. 1t is anticipated that
