tIENV 0SS.
Albuquerque, N. M, May 5-For sew
years past the sheepmen OF the
southwest have suffered serious loss
es from q disease known among the
Mexican herders as .tpingue.
"Pingue," is popularity supposed to
be caused by eating either the leaves
or rootes OF a plant which has In the
last few years been quite prominent
in the public eye as the rubber
plant or rubber weed"
Whether this plant is a true rubber
plant or not is a matter which does
not interest the sheepmen so much as
some remedy for the sickness that fol
lows its eating by their sheep. On
the Carson National Forest in New
Mexico, Forest Ranger Bert Phillips,
in whose district a great many sheep
had recently died from pingue, after
making a study Of the sickness, sug-
mails were dying with 1t, that drench-
es of hot water and salt might prove
eficacious.
The materials for the remedy were
so quickly obtained and the remedy
so easily administered, that several OF
the owners gave the plan a trial. The
sick sheep were drenched every hour
with liberal doses of b mixture with
the result that animals which before
were unable TO SIanO, were,
inside of t~wenty-four hours eating
and running AROUND with the rest of
the herd apparently as well as ever.
While the government experts ave
not yet made a study of this disease
or given the suggested remedy official
| sanction, the remedy itself is so ap-
| parently harmless and unobjection-
able, that considering the results o b
| tanned by its use, there seems to be no
| possible danger in giving it full pub
| LEFTY. The sheepmen can, in this
manner, give it more extended trials
and possibly saw themselves from
the serious losses which the eating OF
this weed by stock has heretofore
caused.
The disease will be carefully stud
led and the results of administering
this remedy watched with a view to
correcting any errors in its use should
it not prove of as great value as is ex
pected. Meantime, every sheepman
whose sheep are sick or dying from
pingue will, no doubt, be only too ca
ger to give this simple remedy OF
hot water and salt drenches, every
hour a good trial, because the annua
losses have been serious ones for the
flock masters of the Southwest where
the. disease or sickness appears TO be
most prevalent at the present time.

 Do you know,' he continued "that reminds me of the way Deadwood, s. D., the town l come from, acted at first. Dcadwood is not nearly half so large as Globe, but it has three standard roads and trolley line. Still, the rail road did not have an easy time getting into Deadwood when it wanted. There were lot of people there who imagined that when railroad company made up its mind to go into a town it would pay all sorts of money for right of way. The road had built up to within few miles of the town, but when it could not get reasonable figures on the remainder of the right of way, why it stopped there, and there it stayed for ten years. The people had even built tunnel against the road and had a franchise on it, and they asked big money for this franchise.
 "What was the resulti Well. some of the people who had been holding out died and at the end of ten years, the others realized that if they expected or wanted that road to come into their town they would have to give it right of way for little or nothing, and they did. That is how it ended, and now Deadwood has three standard roads and trolley line and the people are just that much better off.
 It is true that the road in this val ley might be said to have imposed on the people little in the way of rates but even at that, it strikes me that this is a whole lot better than wagoning and that it is a mighty short sighted policy to try to choke off the road just on that account. The people, also, are

inclined to impose on the railroad It is human nature on both sides. We all want all We can get. But we should remember that when we want too much we are apt not to get anything. The thing to do just now is to encourage the building of that road-tbey should not be charged anything for right of way. What We need is to develop the district. and We can t do it without the railroad.
 Develop the district! that s the idea. And when the business has been made here, it will not be long before there is another railroad knocking at the door and things will adjust them selves

TWO POPULAR LADIES TIE FOR FIRST PRIZE IN STUNNING
 TURKISH COSTUMES.
STUNNING ARRAY 0F MAKEUPS
BAND EXTENDS THANKS TO PUB LIC FOR LIBERAL PATRON
 AGE EXTENDED.

The Globe City band surpassed all its previous efforts at its annual dance last night. It was a grand affair, and some of the costumes worn would have at tracted attention and elicited admira- ton from even the most fastidious. It was a pretty sight when the grand march was led around the hall by Will Feland and Miss Laura Brookner, a couple of hundred masked dancers fall. ing in behind them and passing in parade before the judges: Mrs. W. F. Kelsey Mrs. J. J. Reagan, Mrs. II. C.. Holdsworth, G. NJ Allison, A. J.. Ben nett and II. F. Randall of Denver, who is in the city on business. And it was a difficult task, too, that of these six judges. Handsome costumes and com ical, historical and fanciful, all claimed recognition, and it was only after some deliberation that the judges finally awarded the four prizes.
 Mrs. Pete Taylor and Mrs. Goodwin, both dressed in rich Turkish attire, with long silken bloomers, velvet jackets and red girdles, the whole gaily be- spangled, tied for first prize and were asked to draw straws for the lady s first prize, handsome sofa pillow, which was awarded to Mrs. Goodwin
 The first prize for the gentlemen went to $. B. Tendon, who wore Continent al uniform complete in every detail, such as was worn by the wen who fought under Washington in l776. He was given an umbrella.
 Miss Edith Mitchell, stunning Mary Jane, accompanied by Buster Brown and Tige-a little boy dressed as the falous dog of the comic supplements and tagging along at the end of chain in the grand march-captured the sec. ond prize for ladies, aHbreast pin.
 The second prize Tor gentlemen, a pair of military brushes, went to Wal ter Zane, who provoked much laughter in comical rig, attired as an overgrown and silly boy, dragging little wagon.
 But 1t was when the dancing began that the fun was at its height. A long. limbed red devil was whirling around with a demure little nun; cowboy was trying to be gracefuras he stepped through the mazes of the waltz with a grand lady in evening costume; fierce Indian was stepping nicely with Red l.Cross nurse, and everywhere about the floor the same mirth rousing incongruity could be seen. Cowboy and pretty ranch girls, bincing senoritas with fash ing eyes, Buster Browns and Mary James who had only missed winning be. cause they had lost Tige, soldiers, sail ors, hoboes, shocking Patsy DeBiff with one eye blacked and his teeth knocked out, a dainty little German peasant girl-to enumerate them all would take columns. Many of them were noteworthy, many exceptionally clever, but there were only four prizes, and, anyway, they all had royal time.
 The Globe City band has asked the Silver Belt to express its thanks to all who aided in making the affair such a gratifying success.
