saw off first the right and then the left
horn. The horns should be severed
at a point from a quarter to half-inch
below where the skin joins the base
of the horn, cutting from the back
toward the front. Our illustration
shows the animal and the operator in
position for the dehorning operation
by this method. 1t is a good plan be-
fore commencing the real work to ex-
pertinent upon an animal in the mat
ter of control by snubbing the head to
the stanchion rail as described.
If the stanchion rail is too wide to
permit of properly securing the lower
part as well as the upper part of the
animals head, the turn of the rope
around the muZZle may be omitted
and the last lap of the rope carried
around the stanchion rail to the front
and to the hands of the assistant. The
rope should pass each time over the
neck of the animal to the stanchion
rail so that the laps are between the
horns, in order that the rope may not
interfere with the work of the saw.

as the milk districts adjacent to large

Worlds Fair for Denver.

Denver.-A Republican special from
Washington Saturday says: At a
luncheon given the Colorado visitors
today by Thomas F.. Walsh, at which
former Ex-Governor Peabody and Sam
uel button were among the guests, a
proposition was launched for holding a
worlds fair at Denver in 1912. to
eclipse any of the recent expositions
held in this country.
1t is planned to secure, If possible,
an appropriation through the present
Legislature of colorado of 81 100000,
a second million by congressional leg
islation at the next session of Con
gress, and TO issue s1,5O0,0 900 in bonds.
The proposition has been discussed
by Denver business men, but no for

has been made prior to today.
The preliminary work of raising
funds would be placed in the hands of

their presence in these cavities cause
inflammation. This trouble, though,
is of infrequent occurrence, but
would appear more liable to happen
when the dehorning instruments are
used, on account OF their tendency to
crush. especially in the case of old
animals. whereas the saw cuts clean.
II proper care is taken, however. such
an occurrence following dehorning
may in almost every instance be
avoided.
Occasionally animals after being de-
horned and turned out of the stable
will rub their heads against a dirt or
gravel bank or the rough bark of a
tree. and foreign material may thus
get into the cavities. though usually
the soreness of the parts is sufficient
to prevent this.
If the animals are dehorned when
flies are about. it is well to apply some
pine tar with a view TO keeping flies
from the wounds. Some operators do
this in nearly all cases. thinking that
ii facilitates healing. The dehorning
operation should always. when posi-

FIERCE ATTACK BLOCKS STATE
HOOD BILL IN SENATE
COMMITTEE.
CHARGES ARE SERIOUS
COMMITTEE MAY DECIDE ON IN
vEsTIGATIoN BEFORE
TAKING ACTION.

Washington.-There will be no state
hood legislation for New Mexico and
Arizona at the present session of Con
gress. At a meeting OF the committee
on territories Saturday all members,
regardless of party in a sensational
scene, abandoned consideration of the
House bill.
The members of the committee left
the room without any one suggesting
further meetings for its consideration.
This remarkable action occurred at
the conclusion of the reading of state
ments presented by Senators Nelson
and Beveridge. charging corruption.
Jury bribing and various other of
lenses against certain officials and
leaders of what was termed the gang
which is control of political affairs in
New Mexico"
II is regarded as extremely likely
that the committee on territories will
decide to conduct an investigation in
New Mexico before acting on an ad-
mission bill. Senator Beveridge today
introduced a resolution which author
ICES the committee To conduct hearings
if thought to be advisable.
Among the statements read was a
telegram from J. ]. Hagerman, former
governor of New Mexico, reflecting
upon the character of the people who
are in control OF political affairs of that
territory and declaring that these men
expect to continue their control after
the territory becomes state.
He refers to them as "freebooters'
and says that 60 per cent. of the vot-
ers are Mexicans and one half of that
number are illiterate and easily could
be governed by the gang to which
he referred. He suggested that IL
would be well to wait until after the
next census before admitting New
Mexico to statehood.
Another statement was read recount
ing the difficulties experienced by
Ormsby McHarg. who went to New
Mexico In 1907 as agent of the De
partment of Justice TO prosecute land
frauds. This statement declares that
Mr.. McHarg was hampered in his work
by Governor Curry and his attorney
general. Judge A. b. Fall.
In some of the communications laid
before the committee reference is
made to the Rough Rider influence.
and II is declared that Governor Curry
and a number OF others made several
trips to Washington to have the agents
of the Department of Justice called off

Miss LawIer, stenographer who as
sisted in the land fraud cases, made

ment agents were in danger so long as

nent in public affairs in New Mexico

and cited certain records which she
said would bear her out in all her
statements.
At a former meeting of the commit
tee one of the Democratic senators
proposed that all sections of the bill
proposing to legalize land grants and
bond issues be stricken from 1t. This
proposition met with objection. and
after the meeting II was said that there
was not a single member of the com
mittee who would vote to report the
bill.
