Columbia, Mo-. July Il.


tuberculosis among cattle and
hogs in this state has about doubled
during the past year." said DR.. d. F.
Luckey, state veterinarian, who has
headquarters in Columbia, to-day.
81 am just in receipt of reports to
the effect hat twelve lots oftubercu-
lous hogs have been received at pub
lie markets from points in Missouri
during the month of June. One re-
port, from Albany, Mo-, states that
tuberculosis has developed among
milch cows out of car load shipped
from eNw York State and sold pro
miscuously in that neighborhood. Two
prominent breeders of registered cat
tie have recently discovered tuber
culosis among some fine cattle which
they had shipped in from Illinois. The
authorities at the State Farm, which
is owned by the Agricultural College
now have a tuberculous shorthorr
heifer on their hands, which they
bought at Carthage, Mo-, thinking
she was sound.
Scattering infected Cattle.
"Tuberculous breeding and dair!
cattle are not only being shipped il
to this State from other states, bu
hey are being sold and scattered from
one place to another inside o
State. It is no longre safe for an.
one to buy cattle for breeding pur
poses without guarantee from re
sponsible parties that the cattle ar
sound. To verify the guarantee sucl
cattle ought to be tuberculin teste
before being added to any perma
nent herd.
TubercuIln Test Is Simple.
"The tuberculin test, by which
can be accurately told whether or nc
COW is tuberculous, Is simple, harm
less and inexpensive. The only rel
son for objection ON the part of tn

The Washburn leader. [volume] (Washburn, McLean County, N.D.) 1890-1986, 1909-03-19

Only two members of the Roose-
Welt cabinet will be retained by
Taft. James Wilson will succeed
himself as secretary of agriculture
and George Meyer will be secre-
tary of the navy. Secretary Will
son is now "a years of age, but is
still active and wide awake in his
work. His reappointment gives
him the distinction of having ser-
we'd the longest Of any cabinet
member in history.

out in the senate chamber where
only a limited number could be
accommodated. Only once before
in the history of our country has
it been necessary to abandon the
outdoor inaugural and that was at
the time of Andrew Jackson's
Inauguration. We were fortunate
however, in being invited to wit
ness the parade from an Office
window in the Star building.
About noon the storm abated
somewhat and the center of Pen
nsylvania avenue was soon cleared
of the six inches of snow by an
army of workman and by two
o'clock, the time for the return of
the president from the capital to
the White House, the venue
was comparatively dry.
Well up in front of the pro-
cession in a half open carriage,
rode President and Mrs. Taft with
secret service men walking on
either side. We had a splendid
opportunity of seeing President
and Mrs. Taft and enjoyed the
now we'll known Taft smile. The
president was wrapped in a heavy
overcoat with a fur collar but his
head was barred almost constantly
as he removed his hat to return
the solutions of the multitudes.
Mrs. Taft came in for her share of
hearty greetings as we'll. Close
behind the presidents carriage,
rode Vice-President and Mrs.
Sherman who also received quite
an ovation. Despite the severe
weather and the heavy west wind
that had to be faced marching up
the avenue, each division made a
brave showing in the parade.
The many bands helped to liven.
and cheer the participants of the
parade and the spectators by the
strains of Dixie, Maryland, Ny
Maryland, america" and many
popular airs. The jolly tars, who
have just returned from their trip.

MARCH 10, 1909
A Letter from the Nations Capitol.

Washington, D. =. March 10 '09.
The morning of March 18th
found the Capital city of our ma
ton in the grip of a furious
blizzard-one that would vie with
any that North Dakota can pro-
duce. Notwithstanding the wealth
er, throngs of visitors and
residents. packed the sidewalks
and filled the windows to get a
glimpse of the President and
President-elect on their way from
the White House to the capital.
At ten o'clock, when they entered
their carriage drawn by four
splendid bay horses, the storm
was at it's height, but the band of
the PHILIPPINE Constabulary struck
up a quick-step tune and with the
famous black horse troops from
Cleveland as escort, followed by
regulars and others, the procession
started. Roosevelt and Taft re-
sponded cordially to the hearty
cheers, and many a Goodbye"
"Good luck to YOU were shouted
to the former.
We had been favored with
tickets for the inaugural stand
where we might witness the adj
ministration of the oath of office
but owing to the storm we made
no effort to use them. and it was
we'll because the usual ceremonies
which takes place outside had to
be abandoned and were carried

the most popular of any in the
parade. Governors from number
of states with their stats were
in the procession. Governor
Hughes of New York received an
unusual demonstration. The last
division of this grand pageant
passed by at $50 o'clock.
Washington made great prepare
tions for this event. Elaborate
decorations were put up and ex-
tensive wiring was made for
electric lighting Pennsylvania
Avenue from the White House
to the Capitol distance of a
mile and a quarter. A court Of
honor vas erected in front Of the
White House from where the
president reviewed the parade.
The chains of everereens, baskets
of brilliant artificial flowers and
flags and bunting that were used
to decorate the pillars and stands
in this court of honor mad with
stood the storm in good shape and
when lighted up with the thous-
ands of electric bulbs in the eve-
ming gave it all a faryland ap-
pearance.
The evening was clear with a
cold northwest wind blowing but
it did not deter the people from
tramping through the slash and
snow to witness the elaborate dis
play of fireworks on the White
Lot, or jointhe merry crowd on the
brilliantly lighted throughfare
upon their return to their homes
that evening, there is no doubt
but that there was a determination
on the part of everyone to start a
campaign against future inaugura-
tions on March 4th.

The weather conditions were SO
bad on March 18th that Congress
should need no further arguments
to convince it that a change of the
date for the inauguration Of the
president is necessary. There was
an effort made in 1901 to have the
date changed to the last Thursday
in April and there is n odoubt that
the sentiment now is strongly in
favor of the change.

Our railroads use 11O,OO0,OOO to $780,.
100000 sawed and hewn ties a year
and are stripping the forests of white
oak. Yankee invention has failed to
give the roads a substitute for wooden
ties, but experts say that the day will
surely come when the forests will nc
longer be the sole source of supply for
ties.
