fected. Harry Gilmore, jr, looking af-
ter McFarlands interests when the

of Five Times at
Billiards.

The fifth and DECIDING game of the
match billiard contest between Fales
and Atkins of Gary, for the purse of
s25, was won by Fales. The score was
100 to so. The games throughout the

but the one played last night was the
best that has been seen yet in the Club
cigar store.

gathered around the players when time
was called last night, and Fales won
the lag. The first shot was missed and
Atkins started off with a rush, making
runs of eight and ten until he led by
twenty five points. There seemed to
be no shot which he could not make
and his position shooting and nursing
was splendid Gradually, however, by
consistent work, Fales overlook him
and soon landed in~the lead in the last
fifty points. and Atkins could never
catch him.
The first game of the billiard tour
nament was played last night in what
is known as class B. The winner OF
the first game was Carl Woodruff and
the loser was F. J. Chapman. But fifty

RIDERS STRIVE TO
GAIN ON LEADERS
Walthour- Root Pick UP One
Lap; Faber Makes Rec
ord Breaking Sprint.
,rANDrNG AT MIDNIGHT, ~ HOURS.

+ New York, Dec. 10.-Iver $4,000 peo-
pie braved the smoke-laden atmos-
iphere of Madison Square Garden last
night to watch the mad struggle of
the six-day race. The exciting in
cidents of the day attracted a crowd
that was a record breaker, despite the
fact that the general admission had
been doubled. The fans had learned
that Walthour and Root had regained
one of the two laps they had lost; that
Fogler had collapsed from exhaustion
and that Faber, the demon French
rider, who is far behind. had recovered
four miles after the longest sprint ever
seen in a six-day cycle contest
So the fans f1ocked in droves to the
Garden with appetites whetted for the
sport They felt sure that Walthour
and Root would make a desperate eff
fort to draw up to the leaders. But
it was the ever cheerful Jimmy Moran
who furnished the excitement during
the evening. He started squirt after
squirt and in a long sprint at 1880 he
nearly gained a lap. Faber gained a
few more laps, but was too far behind
to worry the leaders.

SHOCK MUST BE SAILED ON THf FOREST RANGES
A Forestry Regulation for Which A
 Good Reason is Given.

The requirement that all cattle, horses and sheep grazing under per init on the national forests be given salt at frequent intervals. is a regula- tion which has been found to go a long way in protecting the range and preserving the forage crop.
 Experience has shown that the want of salt makes stock restless. If cattle and horses are rot supplied as they need it, they roam and wander, haunt ing old salting grounds, used in pre- vious seasons, trampling the forage plants, instead of eating them. paving the ground, and in other ways injuring the range. But if their cravings are supplied they scatter. peacefully over the pasture grounds and feed at their leisure.
 Salt is so necessary to the easy and profitable handling of sheep on the range, that no flOckmaster would think of getting along without it. If sheep do not receive their usual supply it is only with great difficulty that they can be held in bands or kept in camp at night So far as sheep are concerned no regulation by law is re- ally necessary, because the owners, for their own convenience, will salt their flocks. But cattle are not herded, and the owners might neglect to salt them, if the regulations were not strictly en- forced

New York bankers and brokers. who have been keeping themselves in good spirits lately by busily hoisting pros perity signals. have desisted for the moment to take note of a new and | threatening cloud on the financial hor- izon. This is the legislation which has recently been proposed at Washington iif~the form of several bills aiming to abolish all buying and selling for fu- ture delivery on grain, cotton and pro- duce exchanges The ostensible pur- pose Of these bills is to put stop to speculation and fictitious values It is asserted however by opponents here that one of the results would be to place the farmers of the country at the mercy of the big milling interests and to expose the consumers to cratic fluctuations in price by putting an end to the present system of marketing the country's crops.~ They point out that much the same experiment was tried in Germany not long ago and raised a storm of protest. One Objec- ton which appeals especially to fi1an- cial interests is the injury which an unstable price for grain and cotton would work to both producers ana middlemen by reducing the loaning value of warehouse receipts with banks. Therefore the financial and commercial interests are for once in accord with the farmers of the grain belt who are actively memorializing their congressman against the propos- ed bills.
Arizona republican., 1908-03-07

Stock on different ranges require various quantities of salt. Sheep need less on dry range than on green. An average quantity for 1000 head of sheep would be from 1000 10 15OO pounds each year. For a like number of cat tie, from 5000 to 10000 pounds a year is required- Horses need less than cattle.
 Old hunters. in the days of the pio- neers, knew that deer and buffalo travelled long distances to lick salt in saline springs. The Blue Licks on Licking River, in Kentucky, and a similar mineral spring on Elk River, in West Virginia. were famous for the herds of deer, buffalo and elk which frequented them. The adjacent ground was so deeply tramped that the marks we're to be seen many years after the places ceased to be visited by these animals

ERA OF TUNNfL TRAVEL HAILED BY NEW Y0RKERS
Opening of First Under River Tubes Causes immediate Demand For More To Eliminate the Alien Criminal.

New York. March 2.-(Special Cor respondence of The Republican. )- Now that Manhattan Island has been joined to the rest of the continent by the newly opened tunnel to Hoboken, following by a few weeks the estab- lishment of similar connections with Brooklyn, the city seems to have gone tunnel mad. Certainly there is more interest and enthusiasm over the sub ject of underground and underwater travel than has been displayed by the blase metropolis for any event since the opening Of the first Brooklyn bridge more than twenty-five years ago. Both the new under-river pass ages have been crowded ever since they were first opened and now there are insistent demands from all other directions for the establishment of sim liar facilities. The second McAdoo tunnel which will unite Manhattan to Jersey City is soon to be ready for traffic and the bores of the Pennsyl- vania railroad tubes under the north and East rivers are practically com pleted, although their opening to pub C use will be delayed by the slow DEogress of the railroads huge city terminal. Residents of Long Island. especially the owners of the real estate alarmed lest the new tunnels turn the tide of suburban population toward Jersey, are clamOring to have the city buy the Steinway tunnel to Long Is- land which has just been built by Aug ust Belmont and which he is reported to be willing tO sell for $6,OO0 00O The lOng-pending plan Of an additional tunnel and subway route underneath Brooklyn and the East river has been passed upon favorably by the public service commission and the idea of a future extension under the Narrows to Staten Island has been revived. This would complete the connection of all five boroughs of the Greater City by means Of up-to-date transportation facilities. The truth is that New fact that the great army of residents, suburbanites and strangers amounting to more than a million persons, which daily flows to and from Manahttan, has been putting up with slow and te- dious methods of travel in and out of the city and they are in a character istic hurry to have this state of af- fairs remedied as soon as possible. The expenditures for tunnels and ter minals already completed or under way will amount to more than $250.- o,0OO.
